SAYS APPROPRIATIONS

Attack on Legislative Fund for Purdue University of Much Interest to Farmers Governor Fixes Date f or Arbor Day.

TIMES' BUREAU AT STATE CAPITOL. Indianapolis, Ind., April 1. Two suits have been filed in the superior court here that promise to attract wide attention among the farmers of the state. They are filed in the name of Henry W. Bullock, a local lawyer, who filed them himself as his own attorney. In the first suit he asks that the auditor of state and secretary of state be enjoined from paying the Purdue university the $75,000 a year, which the last session of the legislature appropriated to Purdue for agricultural experiments and for experimental work along that line. Bullock claims he has found a flaw in the law that would make it ineffective even if constitutional, but he goes even further and says that the legislature has no right to appropriate money for anything except state purposes. He says that Purdue act is purely a state institution and that, therefore, it is not entitled to the money. Bullock also attacks the appropriation of $10,000 a year which the state makes to the Indiana Agricultural society, which holds the state fairs in this city, the $2,600 which the state the Indiana Horticultural society and the $1,000 a year which goes to the Indiana Historical society for the same reason. He contends that these are not state institutions and that the legislaure has no more right to give money to them than it has to give money to any other person or institution. 4 The legislature this past winter was besiged by farmers and organizations of farmers who favored the appropria tion of the $1 5,000 for agricultural work at Purdue, and If the courts should knock out the appropriation it would be a sad blow to them. There was little opposition to the appropriation at the time. The onlv oblectlon made was raised in the house, which cut the amount from $75,000, the orig inal figure, to $25,000, but when it came to a final show down the senate and house both agreed on $75,000 and the HENRY, BANNER COUNTY Forty-Second County in ' the Option Fight to Go Dry. Indianapolis, Ind., April 1. Henry county voted on local option yester day and last night it stood as the ban ner local option county in the state, the majority of drys being 2,816. The county has been dry by remonstrance for the last six months, but the tem perance people wanted the question settled for two years and determined to voto upon it Notwithstanding the certainy of vicory, nothing was lackng on the part of the "drys" to get out the vote and 85 ner cent of th otal was cast. There are thirteen townships in the county and everyone voted ..dry." Mount Vernon, Ind., April 1. The emperance forces of Posey countyfiled a petition yesterdav askint- tv.A ount ycommissioners to call a "wet" and "dry" election and unless snmo technicality is discovered the election will be held within the next fW nr ix weeks. The commissioners must ssue trie can at a regular sesson next week and the election must be held not more than thirty davs aftpr it called. The signatures, 1,515, were ecured to the petition, while only ,129 were necessary. find Judgment.

WOULD BE DEAD NOW IF SHE HADN'T. "I have been having stomach trouble for some years, and two years ago I had a very had attacked of acute indigestion. These last years I had to call- a doctor every week, besides taking doctors medicine all the time. My food would ferment, and there was so much gas In my stomach I couldn't vomit, and the doctor had to work for over an hour before I could get relief. Doctor put me on diet for over one year and I guess I have tried every doctor in town. They all told me, it would take one year to get well providing I Just ate a milk diet. That was the encouragement they gave me. I could not do my work; had to have a girl. So weak at times could not get up or down stairs. I tried everything I heard of. At last I saw Mi-o-na advertised and thought I would try that. I didn't have any faith in it whatever. After taking half a box, that was the last time I had to have a doctor for indigestion, that has been five months ago. I eat everything I want, drink coffee,

ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Is amount was restored to that figure. -No one fought an appropriation. Th only question was as to the size. HI" Client InkDOivn. Bullock is not a farmer and he not a very well known lawyer in this city, so it is not considered likely that ne nied the suit in his own behalf. H refuses, however, to tell whom he rep resents in the matter. All he will say is that he represents himself and some other persons. liuuocks second suit is to enjoin the payment of the salaries of $2,000 year to each of the five Justices of the pace in Marion county. He allages that trie statute allowing the salaries is purely a local law and that it is not general law. Therefore, it is uncon stitutional, he says. FIve Date for Arbor Day. Governor Marshall has fixed Friday, April io, and Friday, Oct. 29, as Ar Dor uays in Indiana for this year. His proclamation was issued yesterday arternoon and Is as follows: "If beauty is its own excuse for be ing, thjen beauty combined with utility has a double right to exist. For many jears it has been the custom of the people of Indiana to adorn the grounds about public buildings, school houses coueges ana state Institutions and along public highways and streams and In public parks and village commons by the planting of shade trees and shrubs. "It is a custom well befitting a peo pie which not only seeks the highest good but the highest beauty. It is one which ought to be preserved from year to year. rvow, inererore, I, Thomas R. Mar shall, governor of the State of In nana, do hereby designate Friday, April 30, and Friday, Oct. 29, 1909, as Arbor Days within and for the com monwealth. of the state of Indiana, and upon that day I request that the peo ui ujc ijiaio ui inaiana, and upon that day I request that the people of me state devote themselves to the planting of trees and shrubs, which, in years to come will beautify and be valuable to our land."

This was the purport of a circular sent out to all Grand Army of the Republic organizations from headquarters yesterday. The circular states that Lincoln's Gettysburg address shall be read at all memorial exercises, and instructs the various G. A. R. posts that, "should a confederate grave be found in any camping ground visited by the G. A.

When charged with being disorderly and asked what he had to say for himself, the man in the dock gazed pensively at the magistrate, smoothed down a remnant of gray hair, and said: "Your honor, man's Inhumanitv to man makes counties sthousands mourn I'm not as debased as Swift, as profligate as Byron, as dissipated as Poe, "That will do,' 'thundered the magiswo.. oeven days: And, officer, take a. iibi or those names They're as bad a lot Bits. and run 'em in. as he is:" Titeat cabbage, ham. fried potatoesthings doctor said not to eat or I would die.

Yet there she sat in the crowded grand stand, gazing out at her home team battling against the Chicago Cubs for the pennant. "Harry," she inquired, during a lull in the excitement, "which is the great Wagner?" Her escort gallantly pointed out the famous Pittsburg shortstop. "My:" exclaimed she, after scanning Honus's bowlegged figure awhile, "who'd ever think that man could write operas:" Argonaut. Shortening the Asrony, The villain had a death scene in the sixth act.
