The supreme court holds that an attorney who is appointed to prose cute or defend a poor person in a civil action must do so without com pensation from the county. In criminal cases the county must pay for legd services. Experts Bookwalter and McCaslin who were employed to investigate the records of county officers in Marion county, report that ExCounty Treasurers Holt and Schmidt owe $44,013.33 and $27,727.34 respectively. The experts found that these officers loaned the county its own funds and appropriated the interest themselves. The assertion is made that many other county treasurers in the state are doing the same thing. And now it is currently reported that Lieutenant-Governor Haggard and Senator L. I. Newhy, of Knightstown, have formed a combination to boost Mr. Haggard for governor and Mr. Newby for lieutenant-governor. They worked hand in glove laying political fences at the recent street fair in Lafayette and it is said that the two have cast anchor to the windward" and formed a binding agreement to work together. Indiana, says the Frankfort Times, claims the distinction of being the first government, state or nation in the world to pledge care of the insane. She was the second to erect a government or state insane asylum, one in the Carolinas leading in this respect. Since 1S43, when the Indiana legislature found it necessary to take up the question, and in 1S65, when the state took more advanced grounds and adopted the policy that all of the insane, both curable and incurable were wards of the state. Governor Mount is so thoroughly wedded to the farm that he has broken all precedents of previous and present state officers by refusing to make investments in Indianapolis. The promoters of concerns -nd sharks of all kinds who concoct business enterprises use all sorts of pressure to induce state officers to subscribe to their concerns tor the ad vertisement afforded. Gov. Mount has consented to make but one investment in Indianapolis and that is in the shape of one share, vaiue $100, in a reliable cold storage plant. The question, which has often arisen in Indiana gas belt cities, whether a company which receives a bonus in consideration of locating a factory, which means that the town practically buys its location, has the right to move away after operating the plant, is to be tested at last. The people of Middletown are convinced that the tin-plate trust intends to dismantle the plant at that point. Already portions of it have been moved away, and work now under orders indicates that what is left will be moved away, probably to Anderson or Elwood, where larger plants are located. A committee of Middletown citizens have been consulting attorneys concerning the matter. The town gave a bonus for the location of the plant. The business and other interests of the town depend greatly upon its continuation there and its operation. Should it be moved away the property would be vacated and there would be much loss in all lines of trade. The question of equity is to b the issue and it will be taken into court. The case is somewhat complicated by three sales of the plant, but it is claimed that the bonus consideration will hold. The ultimate result of this case will be watched

many towns in the state where factories have been located on the same plan. The report of the commissioners on the situation in the Philippines has been submitted o the president, and is public property. It is a lengthy document and gives atten tion to every phase of the situation The commissioners have reached several important conclusions. They assert that from the firing of the first gun by Dewey's fleet, there never has been a time when the Americans could have honorably withdrawn from the islands and it is their judgment that American con trol at present is absolutely impera tive and will be for years to come. They find that the Filipinos are in capable of self government owing to the great diversity of language among the various ribes, a majority of whom are ignorant, uneducaied and half-civilized, and the war-like disposition of most of them. It is the opinion of the commissioners that if the United States should withdraw from the islands the tribes would soon be at war and a state of chaos would exist, thus warranting other powers in intervening and assuming control. The commissioners believe that progress has been made in convincing the Filipinos of the good intentions of the United States and they look for an early termination of hostilities. The commissioners also say that Filipinos told them that in places where the insurgent government was tried, it was more oppressive and distasteful than Spanish rule. The report is a complete vindication of the policy of the administration and fully justifies every step that has been taken by the civil and military authorities. Columbia City Post. lit unfits of Mhktoitiveness. It is strange the way events often are shaped to help those pereoDs who put forth an intelligent effort to help themselTes. When the horse market became demoralized a few years ago, many farmers who had been engaged in horee-breeding beoame totally discouraged, disposed ot their surplus horses for whatever they would bring and made no pro?i6ion for continuing longer to breed horses. Because for a time they could buy horses cheaper than they could raise them, these farm ers assumed that it would always be so. Those who were more far-ßeeing reas oned that in horse breeding, as in other lines of farming, a period of depression would be followed by a revival of the business and so did not neglect to keep up a reasonable supply in order to be prepared when any advance should come, to take adrantage of the more favorable situation. As they expected, although long delayed, it finally came. But events for which they were not looking are now taking place, which makes the future prospect, for them brighter than they anticipated. The war in South Africa is creating a de mand for both horses and mules, which will be likely, if it continues very long, to raise prices Btill farther. And even if it ends in a very short time, the demands from other sources will prevent prices from going below what they are now. Tho6e who obtained the idea that the horseleps carriage and the bicycle would drive horses out of use and so lost their faith in the business cf horee-breeding, cannot now put themselves in shape to take advantage of present conditions, but must simply be content to observe what their more enterprising neighbors are doing. This circumstance, like many others that are similar to it, should teach men that the way to succeed in any line of industry or any bus iness is to stick to it persistently and not become disheartened because of the depressions which are sure to come from time to time. South Bend Times, No Change of Deputy. An item has been published in sev eral papers of the state to the effect that Warden Shideler had appointed a Mr. Lewis, chief of police at Marion, as deputy warden to succeed M. M. Barnard aod that Lewis had resigned at Marion to take the deputy wardensiiip on November 17. When a Dispatch reporter asked Warden Shidelerif there was any truth in this statement he paid there was none whatever. "Mr. Barnard is to continue as deputy warden," he said, "and I wish you would make the opening statement that I have no intention of making a change of any kind without cause, and in this case there is no cause for a change in the least."

A I'KNSIOX STATK.

Cirntletl Accord i hjc lo I'eiasionit Imliniiu Kauks First. Indiana leads as a pension state because Indiana has been a leader as a soldier state. The annual statement of the pension department has just been issued. In round numbers the states drawing the highest pensions are Ohio with 815,000,000; Pennsylvania, 812,000,000; New York, $12,000,000; Indiana, SIO.OOO.OOO, and Illinois J?y,0C0,O0O; Indiana has Tm.OOO pensioners who diaw an average pension of a fraction over .$2.50 per annum, and 2T0 veterans of the civil war who are drawing the limit of j?72 a month, and seventy veterans of the civil war and one of tne Mexican war who are drawing a month. In the number of pensioners and number of high pensioners in the average of all in the state, Indiana leads any other state in the Union by a broad margin. Indiana, with a population of 40,000 less tt an that of Massachusetts by the cei.sus of 18'.K), receives in pensions 810,542,000 annually, '.vhile Massachusetts gets but 85,320,000. Similar comparisons will show ttiat Indiana is the greatest pension state according to its population. ANOTHKK 1UO SILK HOItllEllY. George Vinnedge & Co., of Elkhart, Ind., Victim of the, (ianj;. George Vinnedge & Co. are the latest victims of the gang ot silk thieves which seems to be making Elkhart its headquarters and which robbed the Klkhait Dry Goods company on Sept. 15, Gen. Wyman & Co., at South Bend, a few nghts la'er, and W. II. Haws & Co., at Goshen, last Saturday night. Entrance was gaiued to the Vinnedge etore Friday night, and several hundred dollars' worth of black silks 6tolec. Onh a few pieces of the colored silks were taken and three pieces of that, were found just outside the window through which the robber had entered and departed. Nothing else in the store was disturbed and not even the protecting curtain hung along the shelves seemed to have been disturbed when the theft was discovered this morning. Entrance was gained by bending from their places three live-eighths inch iron bars at a rear window, forcing the window lock, crawling in the window, when it is but 14 inches wide and forc ing with a jimmie an inner door. WILE TEST THE 1JAKKETT LAW. Indiana' .street Improveiiieut Act ImiiKid in Federal Court. Attorney J. A. Hindman, of Hartford City, went to Indianapolis last werk for the purpose of tiling a complaint in the United States circuit court, asking that the city of Portland be enjoined from making an assessment under the Barrett law on the property of Mary E. Shewalter. The complaint avers that it has been heretofore impoesible in a case of this kini to procure justice in the 6tate courts, and that the Barrett law is unconstitutional, from the fact that street improvement assessments are the same no matter what the value of the prop erty. The Barrett law, although several times held to be constitutional in the Indiana supreme court, has never betn tested in the United States circuit court, and the result will be looked forward to with great interest by people all over the state. LOSES $30,000.000 TO INDIANA. New Tax Law Ked- the. AHnettMed Val nation of Statu Property, The state of Indiana loses $30,000,000 ln assessed valuation, as compared with last year's figures, as the result of the law parsed by the last legislature permitting destruction of mortgages from the tax duplicates. In spite of this decrease, however, state finances are piosperous, the treasury being 8200,000 better than the auditor antici pated in his estimates. The state has paid 012,000 on its debt during the year. The balance in treasury has greatly increased, and next year the auditor estimates the receipts wil exceed expenditures by 330,000 Notwithstanding increased prices, all the institutions have kept within their appropriations, and, next year the state debt will be cut down 8400,000 more. HOLDEM AN IS I'AKOLED. Elkhart Prisoner I.eturns to III Home After Serving Eighteen Month. William II. Holeman, of Elkhart county, is one of the seven prisoners who were paroled Wednesday by the prison board, and returned to his home last Friday. Holdeman served 18 months of an indeterminate sentence, the minimum of which was one year. The prisoner was sent up for the em bezzlement of something like $40,000 while he was treasurer of Elkhart coun ty. Ever since the expiration of his minimum term last March lioldeman's friends have been appealing for his re lease, and if the expression of certain Elkhart county papers was a criterion of sentiment in that county there was disapp -Jntment there every time the board met since March and failed to act upon lioldeman's application. HlrkM on No vein her Weather. Prophet Hicks promises some change able weather during November.

Milk advanced 20 cents a can Wednesday to dealers who were paying 10 cents a can, and 30 cents to those who were paying 85 cents. It will stand at 81.25 a can through November and 81.10 through December. Mr. Simn Hill, of the Chicago Milk Shippers' union, paid that the advance was legitimate on account of the scarcity of milk and the increase in the price of feed and farm labor. He explained that December milk would be cheaper because iu that month there were many fresh cows added to the dairies and the supply would be increased.

AT THE CIIUItCIIES. ST. THOMAS' UllUUCH. The diocesan branch of the Woman's Auxiliiry has arranged a service in Trinity church Michigan City,on Monday evening next, with a sermon by the Hev. Ernest M. Stires, rector of Grae church, Chicago. Al' members of Plymouth branch are invited to be present. On Tuesday morning, Nov. 14, the Br Hev. Joseph M. Francis, Bishop of In diana, will preach at 10 o'clock to the council and ihe auxiliary in one con gregation. Auxiliary members shoul go Monday noon. Delegates to the council ßhould go not later than Mori day evening to be "on time." Enter tainment will be furnished for all. ST. PAUL'S REFORMED CHURCH. Services Sunday were well attended Eight members of the Sunday-schoo responded to a call for assistants in the religious canvass of the city soon to be 'cken. There were eleven additions to the membership of the Junior C. E. S making a total enrollment of thirtyfour. The superintendents of this work are amply justified in the en couragement they feel. The consecration service of the Sen lor C. E. S. was led by Walter Keyser. in an introduction to the evening sermon the pator alluded brielly to the question of Mormonism and expressed himself as in full sympathy with the efforts that are being made to preven Roberts, of Utah, from assuming the ollice to which he has been elected. Services next Sunday morning and evening. UNITED URETHREN. There was a good attendance and in terest at all services. The morning theme was, "Elijah in a cave." The prophet had deeerted his post of duty and had hid in the cave and while there the voice of (iod came to him as in the text saying, "What doest tbou here. Elijah?" There are those today who like this despondent prophet, when things do not go their liking, desert their poßts of duty and retire from ac tive service. It will do for bears and ground hogs to hole up but prophets and christians should never do so. The theme at night was, "The Ark of the Covenant brought to Jerusalem." Text: 1 Cb. 13: 3, "Let us bring again the ark of our God to us." The ark which contained (Jod'a law had long been at Kirjath-Jearim and King David gathered together 30,000 people and went to fetch.it up to Jeru salem, but instead of following the law of God be imitated the example ot the Philistines and placed it upon a cart to be hauled by oxen and he tailed in the project, but three months later he undertook it again after the plan that God had ordained by having Levites bear it on their shoulders and the task was accomplished. Numerous lessons were gleaned from this incident of the bringing up of the ark. Tha Sunday-school which is doing well under the new management, is taking steps to secure new Sunday school song books. A committee has been appointed to make the selection. rUESL YTERIAN CHURCH. The attendance upon all services was very encouraging. All departments of the churoh are taking on new life and strengt'.!, and the outlook for the future is very promising. A series of special meetings will be held beginning Nov. 11) and continuing two weeks. Hev. W. E. Shivelv. of South IJend. will be present and assist. The morning sermon was from Heb. 7. 25. It was a forceful and practical interpretation and application of the doctrine of the priesthood of Christ. He is our great Ilighpriest and for evermore a highpriest who tests us only to save; who sympathizes with us in all conditions; who is our eflicient advocate and unfailing intercessor; who gives us assurance as we go down to the grave, who retains his humanity even in heaven that He may not f rget our weaknesses and the temptations which do so easily beset us. He is just the Ilighpriest we need, and in the heaven above and in the earth beneath there is none like Him. 4Polvgamy vs. the Home" was thesubject of the evening discouree. Prof. Carey gave an interesting reminiscent account of his personal knowledge of the ways and doctrines of the Mormons. His remarks were made only the more effective by leason of his having lived for some years in Utah. The service created considerable of an in terest. The Sabbath-pchool is building up right along. The superintendent's wall chart ot attendance is going to be quite a feature. Something new and helpful is introduced at almost every session. There were thirty J uniors present at

the afternoon meeting.

Presumably a Fraud. A man who gave the name of George 13owne, and who represented himself as a representative of a certain Chicago publishing house, canvassed Laporte two weeks ago for a medical book and made advance collections amounting to 6100. He left the city and has not been heard frorn. It has been ascertained that no euch publishing company as the man professed to represent is in existence, liowne failed to pay a board bill due one of the hotels. He went from that city to Valparaiso and worked that town. He has not yet been located. . Ward on Trial. John Ryan, alias James Ward, charged with burglarizing the Flora bank, was brought to trial at Delphi. The state occupied Wednesday and Thursday introducing itB evidence. The defense made its statement to the jury on Thursday evening and commenced the introduction of its testimony. The defense's whole effort is to establish and prove an alibi. Death of Mrs. ftriggs. Mre. John Griggs died last Friday at 8 o'clock. She lived northeast of here, and died of consumption. She was a rather young woman. The funeral was held at the Jacoby church Saturday afternoon and interment was in the Jacoby cemetery. Might iet Thi Factory. The manufacturers of the Crown piano want to move out of Chicago owing to labor troubles and the owners invite bids lor the location of the factory, lietween three and four hundred hands are employed and such a factory would be a big addition to any town. 1M You may have heard abcut SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion thai it is cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all irs other repulsive features. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. ESWUßLSß&PJ looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same relation to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphites that are combined with the cod-liver oil 3' vc additional value to it because they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body. Soc. arul $i oo. all druggfcts.
