The Hoard of Trutdeen .Met in Indianapo
lis Tuesday.
The 6emi-annual meeting of the board of trustees of DePauw University occurred at Indianapolis. The financial
condition of the institution was dis
cussed, borne time ago, a move was
started to secure an endowment of $000,000 in the state, and Chancellor W. II. Hickman, who has had charge of
work, made his report. Over 8100,000 has been 6ubecribed during the year,
and in the last six months 5,000 has
been collected. Chancellor Hickman said that he had no dDubt but that they
would be successful in securing the
half-million or more betöre very long.

Funeral of tli Late ien. I'aekartl at the Male Soldiers' Home. The funeral of the late Gen. Jasper Packard, late commandant of the state soldiers' home, was held at o'clock Friday afternoon. Dr. Cioakey, pat-tor of the Presbyterian church, of Xew Albauy, delivered the funeral address. He was assisted in the services by the clergymen of Lafayette. The ollicers of John S. Roberts post, G. A. K., con
ducted a ritualistic service as the body was consigned to the grave in the home cemetery. The pall bearers were Gen. James H. Carnahan, of Indianapolis; Capt. C.J. Murphy, of Kvansville; Col. David X.
Foster, of Fort Wavne; Col. I. 15. Mc- j
Donald, of Columbia City; Col. John Levering and James 15. Wallace, of Lafayette. Visits the Country Schools. Frank L. Jones, btate superintendent of public instruction has departed from the custom of his predecessors in one important particular. He has begun to make visits to the country schools. Those who have held this otlice before have made it a point, to visit the city schools to as great an extent as their other duties would permit, while the country schools were wholly neglected by them, except so far as they could obtain information through the reports of township trustees and county superintendents. And those who are acquainted with such matters know that such reports often furnish very meagre information of the district schools. Prof. Jones believes, however, that the coun
try schools are entitled t his attention
just as much as are the city schools.
Accordingly, he has not hesitated to
visit the schools in the most backwoods
districts. In justification of his course,
be declares that these schools need his
services and whatever aid he can give
them more than the city schools do. It is a part of his plan to devise means
for bringing the very poorest schools in j
the state up as near as possible to the j standard of the beBt. lie believes, too, i
that there are greater possibilities be
of high echot 1 with more than peculiar interest. Hie account of how he obtained an entrance to the House of Commons for himself and three friends when a U. S. Senator was debarred was very amusing. Prof Chase's usual care wbs mauiteet in the entire program and as a whole tl ) evening was one that should hav- ieen enjoyed by iriends of the high school. J. S. M AKTIN.
lev and Salary Iii 11. The members of the next legislature will have for their consideration at the next session a bill prepared by the fee and salary commission which will be intended to equalize the salaries of oounty ollicers of the state. This bill will be drawn about June, 1900, and it is safe to say that there will be no radical departure from the present salaries recommended. The commission is basing its calculations on population, taxable property, and on allowing a certain percentage of fees collected. All but a few of the county ollicers of the state have complied with the request of the commission tor information.

Farming State Land. Governor Mount Tuesday received word that squatters have moved oq state land near Knox, Starke county, aud have built houses, barns and fences and are farming the lands. Sawmills have also been erected, the valuable timbe. is being cut down. He instructed the .ttorney general's department to at once enjoin those cutting timber if the report is found to be true. The last legislature authorized the auditor of state to giv- quit claim deeds for this land, hut a question has arisen as to the state's title to it, and it cannot be sold until the title is established.
