Somewhat Mixed Up. Many persons throughout the state are asking, “Who is our Congressman?”* The now congressional apportionment has left (hem iu a state o£ uncertainty. The politicians, in making applications fur office, do not know whether they should apftly to the man who was elected from the district iu which the applicant lived last November, or Whether the influence of the Cougressmau-elect who lives 4o*the new district should be sought. J. A. Uemenwav, who was elected from the First district, is still in that /district. A. M. Hardy, who was /elect ed^from the Second district, is pow in the Third district. The people ot the new Second district have no • pongressman living within the district. Trace well, who was elected from the Third district, is still in that district. As Mr. Hardy is also iu the fiistrict, the people of that group of f-ounties are said to feel that they are jvell represented. The new Fourth district finds itself without a resident Congressman. James E. Watson who was elected from the district, is now in the Fifth district. Jesse Overstreet, who was elected from the Fifth district, is now in the Sixth. Charles G. Henry, who was elected from the Seventh district, now in the Eighth. George W. Fans, who was elected from the Eighth district is in the new Seventh. J. Frauk Hanley, whom the people of the old Ninth district, elected is in the Tenth district. J. A. Hatch is still in the Tenth, so that here is another district that will be doubly represented. Qeorge W. Steele was left undisturbed in the Eleventh district. J. D, Leighty remains in the Twelfth district, as it was when he was elected. L. W. Royse is also left to represent the people who elected him last November, „

The Charred Custodian Bill. State house custodian Griffin ahd engineer Cain says that there has never been a fire in room No. 52, in which, it is alleged, republican representatives attempted to burn the custodian bill on the night of the riot. ,0»her investigations made the morning following the riot showed that the bill had been lighted with a match and had been thrown into the grate in room JJo. 52. Charred pieces of the bill were found in the grate on <the morning following the riot. It is said that *there are several persons who, it called into court, could name the men who were caught attempting to burn the bill. The bill has not jbeeu received by the secretary of state.—Indianapolis News. Hr. King’s Injuries. Myron King, the governor’s secretary, who was so seriously injured in the legislative riot, was $ot so well yesterday and those who have attended him eay he is now no better or Wronger than be was the next day after the riot. Beneath the rib which ^ras fractured in the crush and wrench an abcess has formed and this is giving the injured man much uneasiness. His condition, while not considered alarming, is pronounced |erioD8.—Indianapolis Sentinel. jfc

Corkscrews and Mill 'Peas. The ; eople, the taxpayers, will! be interested in reading the Hat of “supplies’' embracing such needed luxuries as “cork screws” ordered by the late lamented republican legislature. The* following is from the Indianapolis News of last Wednesday : The books of the state printing board show that the senate made seventy-nine requisitions for printing and - seventy-eijght for stationary. The printing cost $4,37421; the stationary $1,783 28. The house made eighth-two requisitions for printing, which cost $4,582.96, and ninety-seven requisitions for stationary, which] cost $1,877.14. The senate printed 364 bills and (hie House 335, making a total of 699 bills printed and laid on the desks ot senators and representatives. Two hundred copies of each bill were printed. The requisitions on file show in detail tiie supplies purchased by the two house§. The senate purchased twenty-six blank books of various sizes, and the house thirty-two. The seuate purchased 147 reams of paper of various qualities and the house 158 reams. Besides this, the senate purchased 2,680 pages paper. It took 320 ink-stands to supply the members of the two houses and the employes. The seuate got eighty-one of these and the house 141. After rejected bills began to accumulate, there wasa a demand for waste baskets, and ninety-five were ordered, twenty-four tor the senate and seventy-one for the house. It took 1,7C)0 sheets of blotting paper to eupplv the two houses, “and still this was not sufficient to blot out the sins of the body.” said a state officer. The housegot 1,182 sheets of this blotting paper aiid the senate 618 sheets. In twder that members and employes might have a sufficient number of penholders, 1,472 were purchased. The senate got 440 ol these and th« house 1,032. After penholders had been purchased it was necessary to have pens, so 192 gross were purchased, or 27,648 points. The senate got seventy-eight gross and the house 114. To use with these seventy-four bottles of ink were ordered. The senate got forty-nine bottles and the’ House twenty-five bottles. One hundred and sixty-eight erasers were purchased, eighty-seven for the senate and eighty-oue for the house. The two houses purchased sixty four reams of Hthograped letter paper and sixty-eight boxe^ of envelopes. Besides these envelopes purchased in boxes, 15,448 envelopes of various qualities were purchased. The two hopses purchased 3,160 lead pencils: the senate got 111 dozen ot these and the house 152 dozen. It took 1,194 scratch-books tosupply the two houses although it was maintained by the purchasing agents during the session that the newspaper reporters were the only persons who used the scratchbooks. The senate got 550 of these scratch-books and the house 644 Two hundred and thirteen boxes ot rubber bauds were purchased. Of these the seuate got ninety-six boxes and the house 117. There was such a demand for paper fasteners that the seuate purchased ninety-seven boxes and the house forty-three boxes. The Senate hqpght six pairs of shears. Tbe house managed to struggle along without any. An officer when he ran across this item today, remarked: “This seemed to confirm the story that the‘’shearing’ was all done in the senate.”

It required twenty-six bottles of mucilage to supply the two houses. The senate got along with four bottles the houjsej got twenty-two bottles. Seven paper fastening machines were purchased by the two houses, four for the senate and three for the house. The house bought three corkscrews. There is nothipg in the requistion on file in the office of the secretary of the printing board to show that these were ordered for the “bar in basement,” Persons who know the men that made up the two houses say thqy can not understand how the Senate got along without cork-6krews. It was suggested in the state house that “perhaps” the senators brought them when Khey came to town.” There were various other little articles purchased by the t^yo houses. ftach house bought a roll of tape; six file! boxes were purchased for the two houses; twenty-nine paper cutters' were ordered; forty-four paper weigh ts and 2,100 paper wrappers. The most remarkable showing, according to meu who have been around the general assembly for a good many years, is that only one knife was purchased. The house ordered this.

Importaut to Tax-Payers. The following has been sent lo the various county assessor* of the Mate by the board of state tax commissioner* ami should! be carefully read: As the time is so short, between the adjournment of the legislature and the beginning of the active work of the county and township Assessors, the state board of tax commissioners deem it inex}>edieut to hold a convention of the county assessors of the state this year. The responsibility tor an equal and just assessor of the real and personal property of the state rests largely on the shoulders of the county assessors, and no one cau know and appreciate the value ol the services of au intelligent and resolute man in that position as the state board of tax commissioners can. To liis untiring watchfulness and supervision over the work of the township assessors to a great extent depends the result of a just and proper listing of the real and personal property of all classes of our citizens. To the honest and fearless manner in which the county assessors and their corps of assistants have performed their work, credit can be given for the addition of millions of dollars of pro|>erty to the duplicates that have heretofore escaped taxation, and the money paid into the treasury from this source will lessen the burden of tbc honest tax payers. We ask you to impress it again .on your township assessors that ihe§r duty iu assessing a citizen d**es not simply consist in tabulating the perty, butlt goes much farther, amt under the®oaths they must see to it that the property is listed “at its true cash value/’and they have an equal voice in determining what “its true cash value” is. , We ask you to carefully supervise the returns in the several townships in your county and see that the same class of property is assessed at a uniform value under like conditions. The basis agreed upon last tear for the listing of personal property was a fair one and should be'followed as nearly as possible in the assessment this year. ..J We regret the action of the legislature in changing the tax law by curtailing the time, and reducing the pay ot the county assessor. We cannot believe that the legislature gave this matter the attention that its importance deserved, and some question the legality of the act, but be this as it may, we urge you to hold up the highest standard of excellence that you have attained in past years. All 1 lie laws aflecting taxation passed by the legislature can be had through your county auditor, and you should request him to order a sufficient number of copies to supply each of your township assessors. There are some important changes, and we hope you will not fail to plac«* a copy iu the hands ot each assessor before he begins his work, so that he may intelligently carry out the law. Your duties and labors this year will be more than ordinarily onerous. A re-valuation of the realty is to be made iu addition to the numerous duties devolving upon you. The importance of the work cau not be overestimated, and should receive your most earnest attention and consideration. The annoying and exasperating “greenback” question has been eliminated ao^ bpreafter greenbacks will be taxed as other property. The personal list has also been radically changed and we believe in the interest of honest taxation, and for the better. There has beeu two freeholders added to the “County Board of Review,” which we hope will increase its efficiency, and the session of the board has been increased to thirty days for the year in which real estate is to be appraised, In other years the session has been twenty days. Id conclusion we ask you to execute the tax law in the interest of the whole people that it cannot be truthfully said, that, “the office of the county* assessor is a sinecure, and should be abolished/’ See that the test of “true cash value” is applied to all properly, and without fear or favor conscientiously carry out the tax law ot the state, remembering always that “when all pay equally, each will pay Iaco W
