They deprived themseives of sustenance that their children might not suffer. When found they were terribly emaciated and both died soon after being taken to the hospital. Either the English scandal monger is an expert at the business or the social set in London is rapidly sinking to a low level. With a king whose reputation is very tank, little improvement can be expected among the subjects. Scarcely a wedding takes place among the royal set unless the breath of scandal follows. The duke of Westminister, the richest man in England, is made correspondent to a divorce suit brought against his dashing wife by Major Atherton. Democratic congressmen find it up-hill business to make headway against republican schemes. If they cannot put up some sort of defence to democratic charges they resort to ridicule or hide behind the flag, put on robes of royalty, pro claim their patriotism and thus attempt to convey the idea that a republican is made of better stuff and that his cranium is filled with a finer quality of grey matter than that of a man belonging to some other party. But democrats have the satisfaction occasionally of telling them what they think of them. Columbia City Post. There is not much doubt but that the length of the legislative session in this state is too short. As a rule about one-half of the session is taken up with the preliminaries and all real work is crowded into the closing days of the session. There is not time enough to enable the members to give bills that come up for passage proper consideration and good and bad laws are rushed through at the last minute. At the present session a greater number of bills have been introduced than ever before, and if some bad and vicious laws are not passed, for the reasons stated above, it will be rather remarkable. Columbia City Post. The testimony of witnesses in the investigation of the woman's prison of this state is rather shocking, and would indicate that the management is in cruel and wicked hands. Not only have the inmates been cruelly and inhumanly beaten, but they hvc been permitted to associate together promiscuously, the vicious and the lewd associating with those who are not wholly beyond help. Unless the management can produce some very strong evidence in rebuttal to the statements made by several girls who were inmates of the institution there should be a change made and made speedily.

Iinn; nnH then not until the Hon. Frank , , , , ,. .. urke made the startling discovery jth:t there vvas a mVjrer in the wocxlpiky i now lambasting the members of the legislature who supported the bill, charging bribery and everything else. The Sentinel , ' , . h there i. anything in the bill that ' WOll Ul demand its defeat. it only thilk, it t() be a dangerous bill because there was a railroad lobby rr 1 t r it r liia. it W oil is there anything new about that? Isn't there a lobby in the interest of most all hi ' Is of general importance? The Marshall county representative supported the senate bill 270, believing it to be harmless so far as the geneial public is concerned and this conclusion was arrived at after counseling with several leading Marshall county citizens. The bill referred to is the railroad consolidation bill. It permits the consolidation of railroad companies providing that the lines are not competing lines. There would be reasons for opposing a bill that would enable the L. E. it W. and the Vandalia railways to consolidate, because they are competing lines. No fair-minded man can see any reason to object to the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne V Chicago railway consolidating with the Vandalia road. The two lines are not competing lines and their consolidation would in no way affect freight rates. The purpose of the bill was to enable a stronger company to get control of a weak road that is being built from Richmond, through B'uffton and to the northwest. No one dreamed of it being a harmful bill until Frank Uurke's wonderful discernment fathomed the mystery. It was his efforts to leave the impression that there was a "nigger in the woodpile" that caused the friends of the bill to push it as they did, fearing that a prejudice might be educated such that, in the absence of a true conception of the bill, a meritorious measure might ultimately be defeated. The Sentinel and other papers that acknowledge that they see nothing in the bill to base their condemnation upon certainly exhibit very poor taste in making charges against the members of the legislature who like these papers are unable to see the iniquity in the bill that the publications try now to imagine. Practically all of the republican members supported the bill and all but about ten democrats did the .same. The wheel-horses of the Democratic party urged its passage, notwithstanding the fact that the Sentinel charges that boodle was used to pull it through. Certainly there was no need of boodle. There was no opposition to the bill at any time until the day before the bill came up for final passage in the house, and that opposition came solely from Frank Burke and the half-hearted acquiescence of the Sentinel. If AVK HAD ENOUGH. Liberty l!uinM Men Want No More of TrHriing-StHmp Scheme. A special to the Indianapolis News, dated Ft b. 22, aya: A well-dressed stranger, registering at a hotel as J. J. Long, has been in Liberty promoting a trading-stamp scheme among the merchants. Hut he left town when he failed to kindle enthusiasm among the business men. The Liberty business houses "have been there before" on the tradingstamp project, and the one the Chicago man had to offer, carrying with it visions of getting iich by the merchants multiplying their sales, revived in the minds of storekeepers dreams they once had along similar lines. About the time the trading-etamp scheme began to drag here the merchants were anxious to let go of contracts they had made with the promoting companies, and the storekeepers are now of the I opinion that they had better place in their own cash drawer the 5 per cent, they were once required to pay to the tamp companies.

Indianapolis, Feb 21. The Joss rail road consolidation bill passed the houee today and will become a law. KtTorts were made by Trank Burke to defeat it but without success, only twenty votes being recorded against it. Senator Jobs' pawnfhop bill, which passed the senate, was killed in the house today. Representatives Morgan and Metoker spoke against the bill and Representative Whitcomb in favor of its passage. The bill creating the otlice of public administrator was killed in the house this morning by the adoption of an unfavorable report. The houee this atrernoon debated the question of equalizing the Falaries of state ottlcers by reducing some and increasing the salaries of the higher court judges. Mr. Stutesman spoke in favor of the proposition. The democrats opposed it There was a warm debate. r Senator (Joodwine's compulsory educational bill was called for third reading on a special order this morning. Senator Lindley moved to amend by making six months the term of compulsory education. Lindley said the present system of forced education is nothing but a hot hoube Ryetem that results in hollow chests, spindle shanks and weak eyes. He was in favor, he Faid, of six months in school and six months on the farm. He declared his children went to school only six months in the year, yet be would "put them up against anybody's in the matter of education and intellectuality." The motion carried. M. L. Corey, of Argos. was re elected secretary and treasurer of the Retail Hardware association. The senate judiciary committee will make two reports on the bills backed by the State Grocers' association. One allows the grocer to garnishee 25 per cent, of a man's W8ges. The ether allows an exemption in judgment recov ered for torts. The majority report on each bill will be for postponement. At the hrst opportunity the house cities and towns committee will submit two reports on the Calumet river canal bill. The majority will recommend the bill's passage. The minority, composed of Meesrs. Erdlitz and Johnson, will recommend Indefinite postponement. rurpooe to Kill Time. The democrats of the houee have de cided to insist on the constitutional right of having bills read three times by sections. The constitution provides that on the first two readings this rule may be dispensed with if two thirds of the house by yea and nay vote may po order, but that in no event shall the final reading by sections be dispensed with. The purpose in insisting on the strict enforcement of this rule is to head off some of the republican measures that are pending. It is believed that the scheme will work inasmuch as the end of the session is Dot far off and 8 great deal of time will be consumed by read ing bills. The plan was proposed by Representative Loutitt, who hopes in this way to prevent the passage of the Ft. Wayne charter bills Indianapolis Press. Perform Task Willingly. An exchange very correctlv says that the man or boy who is always looking for the easiest way of getting along in the world, sooner or later runs against a hard proposition. When he finds, as he is certain to do, that the business world, also others, does not want one of this kind about, he imagines he is being mistreated. The person who takeB the work that comes to hand and does the very best he can, is the one whose services are invariably sooght. Every person has distasteful tanke to perform and it is best to perform them willingly then they are out of the way. Vocal Manic to School. The bill introduced by Senator Og born last week provides that the rudi ments of vocal music, including singing by note, shall be taught in ail the public schools of the state and that, beginning with Jan. 1, 1902, all teachers shall be required to pass examinations on their ability to teach this subject. Power Is given school trustees to employ a special teacher where they so desire, but they must be examined by the state board of education and paid out of the special school fund.

Sporadic trade announcements cannot De continuously nenelicial It is true that they often bring about u spurt in sales, but when they have run their brief course they and the wares described in them are forgotten by the public. On the other hand, the continued publication of business announcements in a newspaper, which, because of its liability and excellence, has become popuUr and influential with the public in general, will produce constant and satisfactory financial returns.

The laws of the state of Michigan regarding prize fights allow ten-round bouJs or sparring exhibitions, and this fact has brought about a scheme on the part of prominent promoters of exhibitions throughout the country to look upon Michigan as the future arena for the game.
