SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1906. Sherman's March to the Sea.. Our campfires shone bright on the mounThat frowned on the river below As we stood by our guns in the morning And eagerly watched for the foe, When a rider came out of the darkness That hung over mountain and tree. And shouted: "Boys, up and be ready! For Sherman will march to the sea!" Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman Went up from each valley and glen, And the bugles re-echoed the music That came from the lips of the men, For we knew that the stars in our banner More bright in their splendor would be And that blessings from northland would greet us When Sherman marched down to the sea. Then forward, boys! Forward to battle! We marched on our wearisom way; We stormed the wild hills of Resaca; God bless those who fell on that day! Then Kenesaw, dark in its glory, Frowned down on the flag of the dree, But the east and the west bore our standAnd Sherman marched on the sea. Still onward we pressed till our banners Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls, And the blood of the patriot dampened The soil where the traitor flag falls. We paused not to weep for the fallen Who slept by each river and tree, Yet we twined them a wreath of the laurel As Sherman marched down to the sea. Oh, proud was our army that morning That stood wherei the pine darkly towWhen 8herman said, "Boys, you are weary, But today fair Savannah is ours!" Then sang we the song of our chieftain That echoed o'er river and lea, And the stars in our banner shone brighter When Sherman marched down to the sea. Samuel H.. M. Byers. THOSE WHO think politics is pretty bad these days, should rethat even Abraham Lincoln sent a supporter $200 to pay his exnational convention where he was nominated. History records no kick and one ever acLincoln of buying that vote.

IT HAS been estimated that there have been twenty people killed and seventy-five injured by the railroads in Hammond and vicinity in the past year. It is hard to realize that this slaughter of human beings is taking place because the news of the accicomes to the public one at a time. It has become so common to hear that a man has had his foot cut off, that a boy has been run over and killed, that this or that man has been hit by a passing train and in jured beyond recognition that the public apparently has become blasse and does not realize the grewsome ness of it all. The undertakers, the doctors and the police to whose attention most of the accidents are called say that the injuries range from a crushed foot or an injured hand to the loss of legs and arms and as every acci dent incapacitates some unfortunate one for weeks or months, it may readily be seem that the financial loss to the community is consider able. It is to be expected that a city with the tangle of tracks that there is in Hammond would have some ac cidents, but it is the opinion of those who have the opportunity to observe that the number of injuries and fatalities could be reduced to a minimum if the proper precautions were taken by the railrodas. Only recently there have been several complaints made to the Lake County Times that the tower watchman on the Hohman street crossing has been negligent in his duty and specific cases where pedestrians and occupants of carriages and automobiles have not had the protection of the gates have been cited. Putting aside a consideration of the causes the fault remains that Hammond is paying a terrible tribute for the advantages of being a ralicenter, a tribute that is inasing faster than the increase of

WITH THE EDITORS. Very probably the country will be profoundly shocked to ascertain that the reform assessors in Chicago have found that Marshall Field, "the honmerchant," paid taxes on about only one-fifteenth of his property. The facts are, however, that this fig ure shows that Mr. Field was much more conscientious in regard to his taxes than the average Chicago milSome of these holders of vast fortunes have paid no taxes at all, and many of them have paid so small a portion of what has been rightfully due from them that the payments appear more shameful than would a total evasion. It is pretty generally understood all over this country that when the wealthy are forced to pay taxes on their possesin the same proportions as do the owners of humble homes, taxawill no longer be a burden for those in moderate circumstances. It will hardly be an incident in the ex-account--Fort Wayne News. It is pretty safe to predict that the next Indiana legislature is going to appropriate a fund sufficient to permit the state board of health to push needed reforms. Dr. Hutry and his assistants have accomplished wonwith the pittance allowed them, but they have not been enabled to carry out a comprehensive plan. They have done enough, however, to open the eyes of the public to existing conditions and hereafter they will be properly equipped to do business. Fort Wayne News.

Tom Tagart's interview on the pooutlook from a Democratic viewpoint reads much like an old friend. "I feel confident," he says, "that the Democrats will carry the state this fall." Let's see, where have we heard those words before? And again the genial Tom goes on to announce; "Democrats never were more thoroughly united and in better spirit than at present." Seems, too, as if we have heard that expression somewhere before. Never mind, mayit was during the campaign of 1896 when harmony was so much in evidence. Owing to the activity of the state Mr. Taggart has been a very busy man of late and we are charitable enough to believe that some reporter has rung in an old in terview. But what's the difference? --Lafayette Journal. Between Trains If the president wants a vacation he'll have to quit being all nine of the cabinet officers at once and let the boys have a chance to look after their own business.

INDIANA MANY LIBRARIES

Steel King Did Not Overlook Hoosier State When BeHis Surplus for Education Last Year.

An interesting report of gifts and bequests to American libraries in 1905 has been male by Drew B. Hall, librarian at Fairhaven, Mass. Ten gifts are recorded in Canada, eight of them from Andrew Carnegie, and 680 in the United States. Those in the United States represent 234,649 volumes, 111,497 pamphlets, nine collections, six sites, 4,584 pictures and other objects. The gifts in money show that $658,723 was for endowment funds for general library purposes; $81,for the establishment of book funds; $90,879 for the cash purchase of books; 211 gifts amounting to $3,162,140, of which $2,247,740 is listed as accepted, from Andrew Carfor buildings; $1,492,253 from other donors for buildings; $500 for sites and $21,571 for objects largely unknown.

Delphi.--Public library. $12,000 for a building from Andrew CarFowler. Pulbic library. $7,000 for a building from Andrew Carnegie. Frankfort. Public library. $17,000 from Andrew Carnegie. Political Notes According to a preliminary report of the interstate commerce commis sion, the gross earnings of the railof the United States, covering approximately 219,000 miles of road, will probably show for the fiscal year ended June 30 an increase of 10 per cent over the $2,073,000,000 earned in 1905. This will prove a banner year for American railroads. The offigures wrill not be available for all the roads for some months yet, but the increases that have been shown month after month give reason to exthe 10 per cent increase. There have been heavy expenditures for imthe roads, but the net earnwill be very favorable. No secof the country has failed to profby the favorable conditions which existed this past year. INSURANCE NOTES. Twenty-two companies that have been operating in California have reor retired from that field. C. G. Meeker, state agent of the Concordia in Illinois and Indiana, who has been suffering from ptomaine poisoning for several weeks, will be in the field again Monday. Of 100 companies which have filed their sworn estimates of losses at San Francisco with the New York insurance department, forty-two adthat their net losses are more than their net surpluses. The Albany street railway shops and barns have been equipped with a sprinkler system under the superof the fire underwriters' elecbureau. The Plank Road shops of the Public Service company of New Jersey are about to be equipwith a sprinkler equipment inunder similar supervision. San Francisco reports an insurfamine on Filmore and Van Ness avenue, the two new retail cenSo many large frame struchave been erected containing large values, with dangerous exposand very little fire protection that insurance rates have risen from per cent to more than 10, and many of the companies are refusing to write on those streets at any rate.

A small concern, with headquarters at Stoughton, has. declined to inits rates, claiming that the insurance department has no authand the attorney general has been called up to decide whether the company can be restrained from doing business for that reason.

Charged With Secreting Puglic RecIs the Result of an InvestiForced upon Unwilling Council by the People. Michigan City's treasurer was aryesterday charged with sethe public records. The arrest of C. Elijah Meyer is the outof a recent investigation into the affairs of the treasurer's office by Comptroller Henry C. VanDusen when it was found that Meyer was several thousand dollars short in his accounts. The council refused to authorize the investigation by outaccountants and in February the shortage was made good by Meyer. It is said that politics were badly into the affair and when a council friendly to Meyer refused to act, a citizens committee was organ ized and by public subscription enough money was raised to carry on the fight for the people. After several weeks work on the books in which it is reported there were several matters discovered which will require explaining, the auditor asked for tne street imledger and bond record books. A thorough search of the treasoffice failed to reveal the records, and Meyer when asked did not bring forth the books. The arwas the result and the matter has caused a sensation in Michigan City where Meyer is one of the leadclothing merchants. The offense with which Meyer is charged is punishable by a fine of $1,000 and from two to fourteen years in prison. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafand that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearand when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
