Teachers Fared Well. The recent legislature did exceeding ly well by the teacher. Whatever else It may have done the assembly did not neglect the instructors of Indiana. Fassett A. Cotton, stato superintendent of public instruction, has said that the teachers got practically everything they asked for and he is surely well enough Dosted in the matter to Know The laws enacted were all good and necessary. They will assist in giving the state improved educational facili ties. There are twelve measures which af feet the teachers and these extend over as many subjects. An examination of the list shows that something substan tlal was accomplished for the patrons and children, as well as for tna teacn era. The thing of foremost importance all around, perhaps, was the arranging of an educational standard fixing larger requirements In scholarship and professional training fo instructors. This mans that the poorly prepared and the "makeshifts" have been, or, to be accurate, will bo elmlniated from the calllncr. Mr. Cotton, after reviewing the laws passed and after observing how they affect both teacher and pupil, says that a new day is dawning for education In Indiana, and he is right. The legisla ture did much of a beneficial nature nlonsr this line and teachers as well as the people generally should be glad that such was the case. South Bend Tribune.

Knoxvlllo has "gone prohibition," and the Charleston News and Courier ac counts for it from the fact that the liquor sellers were not content with selling liquor but tried to control local politics and this move was more than the people would stand and so voted for prohibition. The News and Courie makes this general application: "Although in most communities the feeling against the whisky business it self had perhaps acquired such strength that it cannot be checked, we believe that had the whisky sellers always con ducted themselves and their busines with the same respect for the rights o other people and the decencies of life that has characterized those engaged in mercantile or other lines, the busines Itself would not b now beset with enemies who seriously threaten its ex istence and who have destroyed It in a large part of the country."

hey Are for the Purpose ot Killing the Most Men in the Least Time. ONE IS A DETONATING FUSE Prevents a Shell from Exploding Un til It Gets W here It Will Do Some Shedding of Blood. New York, March 23. Hudson Maxm, inventor of high explosives, made the dinner tendered Sir Percy Sanderson by the Canadian club the occasion of the first announcement concerning a new safety detonating fuse, which he has Invented after ten years of ex- j perimenting, and which lie declared had been the aim of inventors for years. By It he said it is possible to send an armor piercing shell through armor and cause it to explode at exactly the distance behind the armor doslred by the gunner. It will not mat ter whether the armor Is one Inch or twelve inches in thickness, the in ventor said. Shells Triumph Over Armor. The dinner was held In recognition of what Sir Percy Sanderson has ac complished while British consul gen eral nt New York a post from which he recently resigned in order to return to private life. Maxim recalled that several years ago he made the Cana dian society dinner the vehicle to car ry to the world the news of his invention of the high explosive now known as Maxlmlte. Ills present announce ment, he Baid, marked another step forward in the art of war mechanics, and meant tho final victory over armor as at present hardened by armor piercng shells. lias a New Smokeless Powder. Beside the new safety detonating fuse Maxim said he could tell the din ers about a new smokeless powder, stabillite," which he had just begun to manufacture, but which Is still In the process of experimentation. This new weapon of modern warfare Max im declared would wipe out, he was convinced, many or most of the dan gers attaching to the use of smokeless powder. The speaker prefaced his talk about high explosives by a talk on the comparatively undefended sea boards on the Atlantic and Pacltic coasts of the United States. That Fuse Is a Daisy. Turning to the subject of his new fuse Maxim said: "In experiments at Indian Head on Tuesday and Wednes day of last week . a new detonating fuse just completed was used in shells shot through fire, six and eight-inch Krupp process armor, and exploded the shell behind the armor at the dis tance that would be most effective. It ia possible to so adjust the fuse that it will be utterly impossible for the shell to explode until after it has been fired from the gun. This is highly im portant in the use of high explosives." Stabillite Bound To Be Stable. Discussing stabillite Maxim said among other things: "The new powder is not affected by the impurities. It will not decompose like the ordinary powder. It can be made and used in the same day. I think it will save from $300,000 to $3"0,000 in interest money to the government annually." CONFIDENCE STILL UNSHAKEN Current Trade Is Heavy and Prepara tlon for Later Season Keeps Manufacturers Busy. New York, March 23. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says Business has responded to the influ ence of settled spring weather at mosl points, and the proximity of Easter has increased retail sales of dry goods, millinery and footwear. Many dealers had under-estimated requirements, and urgent demands are made upon job blng houses. Transportation is more satisfactory, but at many cities there are still complaints that seasonable goods do not come forward as speci fied. In addition to current trade there is a volume of preparation for later sea sons that maintains activity at rnanu facturing plants, the high prices read! ly paid on most of this forward business testifying to the fact that confi dence remains uushaken One of the features of the present situation is the steady Improvement in mercantile payments, despite the unsettled condi tion of the money market. A lull in the volume of new business is wel comed by the cotton mills as pressure for delivery had advanced prices to the limit of safety in the opinion of many manufacturers.

BULLET I2T HIS EHAIIT Yet Jalmer Johnson Laughed and Joked for a Whole Day Before Death Stilled Him. LaCrosse, Wis., March 23. Jalmer Johnson, aged 22, who laughed and joked for a day with a bullet in his brain, died during an epileptic spasm brought ou by the fatal wound. Last Sunday Johnson attended a birthday party where liquor was served freely. Witnesses allege that one Linhart, who was equally enamored of pretty Miss Katherine Schierl, was not a guest, but laid outside in wait for Johnson. Wearying of his grim vigil he entered the house and mingled with the merrymakers, endeavoring to pick a quarrel with Johnson. Another guest displayed a pistol, and witnesses say that Linhart snatched the weapon, and pushing it almost into Johnson's face fired twice. Johnson before his death alleged that Linhart slashed him with a razor also. Linhart turned and fled from the house and escaped. Knocked down by tha bullet Johnson regained his feet and laughed, calmly binding up his wound, and going about as usual until the next night when a physician, then sum moned, pronounced him fatally wounded.

Many threatening letters are sent me every day, saying my boy may be killed by his supposed captors, and it causes me much expense Investigating these. They should be looked into. "I have sent out pictures and no tices regarding my kidnaped boy, and I am told the postmasters are not allowed to display them in public buildings. The Delaware legislature has voted $2,000 for the search for the boy, and. has aided me in every possible way, but 1 believe a word from you to the federal authorities may be tha greatest aid of all."

The bill was referred to the commit tee on transportation after being re ported unfavorably from two other committees, this reference, according to legislative proceedure, being a polite manner of voting down undesirable measures.

Latest Movements in Industrial Centers, by Exclusive Wire to Lake County Times

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, March 23. The stock market assumed panicky conditions again this morning. The continued ru mors of one of the big plungers being caught long a large line of stocks and being called for very heavy margins to protect them was the bear factor in the market today. The stocks, wheh he is supposed to bo long of, were hammered unmercifully. Union Paciflc, St. Paul, Copper, Colorado Fuel, Canadian Pacific and Atchison were the notably weak ones. The declines recorded at the close of these issues will average about three points in the higher priced shares and two in the lower. The belief that the worst is not yet over is growing and it is hinted that further liquidation will be necessary In order to give the market a healthy condition. Some shrewd traders are of the opinion that the Hill-llarrlman fight 13 still the prime factor In the market. The attack today on the Hill stocks by brokers who usually act for the Harrlman, following emphasizes this opinion. Great Northern and Northern Paciilc were depressed almost five points respectively while the Ore shares lost about three. Another noticeable incident is the fact that Northern Pacific is lower now than on March 14 when the panic was at Its height and the lowest prices recorded in several years obtained; while Great Northern Is but a couple of points higher than at that time. The bank statement which was rather disappointing isasmuch as it showed a loss In deposits of over a million while an increase was expected. After its publication a small rally was brought about in Pennsylvania, which had been weak all during the session, It advanced from 118 to 120, it was only spasmodic, however, as the same aggressive selling appears upon the least semblance of strength In the market. It seems a difficult task and almost herculean strength to bring about any sustantial rally in the stock market at present. The close tonight shows losses varying from one to four points with indications pointing to still further declines. (JEW YORK STOCK IIIET Descp. Open. High

Harry Raymond wires Curtis A Clement & Co., as follows: London was the best seller at the opening. I am told that some of the bears sold stock freely in London through Housman. London, 3:30 p. m. The securities market generally continue depressed. Financial interests are anxiously awaiting settlement developments. Clement. Curtis & Co. get the following from New York: The advance In Bank of France discount rate has created a bad impression owing to belief that it means continued money stringency abroad and will prevent us from drawing the gold against which we have large credits. This market is likely to be dull with occasional weak spots as a few belated accounts are closed out. The street is hoping for a period of dullness In tho existing snarls may gradually bo straightened out Sentiment on the floor of the Ex change Is more bullish than it has been for a long time; this does not give us any line on the market however, and it is likely as not that after a show of strength Friday morning, stocks will become dull and sagging for a few days. I fully believe that ultimately prices will go very much higher. 1 think this is going to be a great bull summer. Rldgley.

Harrlman attended the meeting when the directors took this action and urged its adoption.. T. A. Mclntyre & Co. A house usually well Informed on Erie does not seem inclined to buy It this morning. It looks like long stock coming out but on the surface we cannot see why stoppage of improvements should cause long holders to liquidate. New York. Buy the good dividend paying stocks as soon as money matters become more thoroughly settled there will be announcements of new financing by New York Central and other roads which will give the bears opportunity to attack Values. The ad ministration is not likely to furnish any bull amunition and the determina tion of the Erie and other systems to retrench adds to the fear of a substantial trade reactions I felt in some quarters and checks to an extent the publio Investment in the market. We see no reason at present hawever, for apprehension on this score as the decline ln the market seems to have discounted a good deal more than is likely to have been for a long time in this direction.
