: Given Up As Dead. Given up for dead, Ernest Beard ‘greatly surprised his relafives by appearing in Waterloo last week. He hagl been absent for 27 years, leaving home at the age of 15. After his de‘parture his parents received a number of letters from him from various cities in the west, when finally he stopped writing and nothing since had been heard of him until his return. It was like a ghost from the grave whea he reappeared and greeted his mother, Mrs. Cassie Beard of Waterloo. She recognized him immediately and was overcome with joy. .Chautauqua a Success. "The Advance says the first Chautauqua held in Cromwell was a success, despite the fact that it did not pay in dollars and cents. The management made an error in fixing the admission price at too low a figure, but the community received the benefit. Another chautauqua will be held next year when the admission price will be raised enough to pay the actual expsnses. - e Facing Coal Famine. : The Winona Interurban Railway company is facing a coal famine and as a result it may become necessary to halt operations.

TAX BOARD COSTS * " PEOPLE HUGE SUM Goodrich Triumvirate Falls to Redeem ~ Governor's Campaign Pledge That - he Would Reduce Expense of State Government Indianapolis, Ind., Aug 16-—lt cost the taxpayers of Indiana $42,237.34, to maintain Governor Goodrich’s State Board of Tax Commissioners during the fiscal year of 1919, according to a report filed by the state board of accounts in the auditor of state’s office. Although Governor Goodrich made his gubernatorial campaign on the promise that he would reduce governmental expenditures a comparison between the costs of operating his tax board and that under Governor Ralston shows a vast difference. The tax board cost the state in 1916, when the Ralston administration was in power, only $25,183.60 and a large part of this expense was incurred in placing the board and its various departments into operation. - " Have Many On Pay Roll

The salaries and expensss of the Goodrich board, the actions of which ‘have been on the lips of Hoosier taxpayers for the last year and more, totaled $12,002.85 for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30,°1919. The salaries and expenditures of assistants and investigators to the number of twenty five reached a total of $18,913.79, nearly as much as the entire operation of the Ralston board cost. The salaries and expenses of the inheritance tax investigators total $1,593. 76 and other expenses were as follows; clerk, $2.909. 83; office help, (17 employees) $3.330.26 and office expenses $3,427.05. : Draws Two Salaries.

Among the operatices of the board was Truman P. Tillman of Boonville, Republican representative from Vanderburg and Warrick counties. Tillman sat in the House of Representatives in the recent special session, although the state constitution explicitly declares that a person cannot draw two salaries from the state,

The tax commission, with its corps of forty-five members, has afforded a neat lodging place for “deserving Republicans’ and has been one of the instrumentalities through which the governor has apportioned his favors to loyal political . workers. i
