Assignees, Guardians, Administrators, and others who pay taxes on property in trust, and persons, whose taxes are complicated, such as undivided estates, etc., are earnestly requested to settle

such taxes before the last few days, as it requires considerable time

receipts therefor. As the Treasurer cannot know the location of each person s property, taxpayers should designate the property on which they wish to pay taxes, and see that all property is specified in their receipts. If they have land in more than one township or town or desire to pay taxes on lands not in their names, call the Treasurer's attention to the matter.-

ROAD RECEIPTS WILL

EXCEPT ON DELINQUENT TAXES. . Carefully examine the receipts before leaving the office, and if anything is wrong have the cor rection made at once. . The Tr as-rer will not be responsible for the penalty and charges on delinquent, taxes result

injr from ar.y omission of the person failing to state definitely on what property, in .whose name, and

in what townshm or corporation it once. The present law is of such force the collection of delinquent "The owner of property on

There will be no struck jury in the Darrow-Worden- Talbot disbarment case, which, according to Judge Dodge, will be called with out fail Monday morning in the Elkhart circuit court. After a long conference at Goshen, the attorneys for the defendant dropped the struck jury idea, the conditions and restrictions imposed by the court being such that the defense decided that it world be better off to take its chances with the regular panel. In the drawing of struck juries in Laporte and South Bend there were no restrictions whatever, but Judge Dodge construed the law a little more strictly and this caused a change in the plans. Miss Ethel Jordan, formerly a stenographer in the ofiice of Attorney John W. Talbot, and John Burke, a South Bend real estate dealer, who has desk room in Talbot & Talbot's office and who is looked upon as Talbot's right hand man or detective, have also been notified, along with Attorney Talbot, to appear in the office of H. S. Home, the St. Joseph county circuit court stenographer next Saturday, that their depositions might be taken in the interest of the prosecution. The conditional examination of Defendant Talbot will be taken. It is expected that matters pertaining to the securing of Mrs. Duck's services, according to her story, will be gone over. The defendants in court formally withdrew their request for a struck jury. The majority of the regular panel, which will serve, are farmers. Important Ruling. The judge of the circuit court at Fort Wayne, in sustaining a demurrer in a suit for $10,000 on the bond of a township trustee who made purchases without the knowledge of the township advisory board, declared that any contract made bv the trustee in violatioti of this statute is. void and money paid out by the trustee without preliminary authority, obtained by him from the advisory board, is without authority of law and may be recovered by suit on the bond of the trustee. The authority of trustees, declared the court, does not extend beyond that which is either expressly or impliedly granted by law. The decision of Judge Heaton is the first explicitly dealing with this phase of the subject in this state, and since the activity of the Warsaw firm of lawyers over the state, many similar suits are pending. Judge Heaton has laid down the-law until the supreme court has a chance to speak. His decision includes the statement that approval of a purchase after the fact if not given before the fact renders the purchase illegal. Laporte Bulletin.

Why We are Hoosiers. It is 'doubtful if there is any

certain origin lor the name Hoosiers. The origin of the nickname "Hoosier" as applied to Indiana and to the citizens of the state is not known, says an Indiana writer. The derivation most commonly accepted is from "Who's yer?" the crude salutation of the early settlers to unknown travelers coming to their cabins at night. Other- theories are ad vanced. One is that the name or iginated in New Orleans in the early days when the surplus pro duce of Indiana farms was carried down the Mississippi in flat boats. The men in charge of these boats congregated in large numbers on the levee at New Or leans and fights between them selves and other flat boat men were frequent. - The Indiana men had a habit of ordering others to hush up" when their talk be came objectionable or too loud and if the offender didn't hush up when bidden he was sometimes silenced by Indiana knuckles and brawn. Hence Indianians were called "hushers." a word that found easy transition into "Hoo sier." Another story is that the name originated in Kentucky at the close of a lecture in which a his toric regiment of French Huzzars was highly praised. A number of Indiana men were there and were participants in a free fight which followed the lecture pro gram. One of them, still enthused over the narrative of the brave deeds of the French soldiers shouted out that he and his friends 'were regular Huzzars. The name stuck to the Indiana men and was soon converted into "Hoosier" as applied to Indiana The name perhaps came about as the result of an expression or some act on the part of the citizen of this state. It is a nick name and means nothing. Domestic Telegraph.

PLAN S " FOR' WIN 6 N A".

Building Operations There this Year Will Be on Enormous -Scale. The building operations at Wi nona Lake this year promise to j be unprecedented. The Winona Interurban Railway is erecting a $300,000 ' power house, ' and the Pennsylvania company has authorized the construction this spring of a new passenger and freight station to cost $15,000. It is not expected that the con struction of the interurban lines will, diminish the volume of railway travel to the lake, as the in crease in popularity of the resort over a wide area will maintain the summer tourist traffic. Plans have been drawn for a larger number of private cottages at the lake which will be erected this year. The number includes the $25,000 summer home which J. M. Studabaker, of South Bend, is to build near the auditorium. The Presbyterian building will be added to the group of Winona hotels, and the Evangelistic and Sunday school buildings are planned for construction this year. The main area of the park is to be denuded of the present group of business buildings. which will be removed westward across the street, and the area beautified. It is expected that next fall will witness the erection of a general administration and business building. Trolley construction is expect ed to materially increase real es tate activity at Winona Lake The real estate department has just placed on the market a new addition carved out of the golf links, overlooking both Warsaw and the Assembly grounds. A mid-winter sale of these lots is attracting purchasers from sever al of the towns to be touched by the new trollev system. The de mand for cottages for rent for the present year is already con siderable, and the real estate de partment is urging lot owners to build in anticipation of the usual spring house famine at Winona Lake. Warsaw Times. Railroads Do Big Business. . The business of the. railroads i universally accepted as the barometer of prosperity in this coun try. Agricultural abundance and industrial activity make business for the railroads. The annual report of the interState : commerc 3 commission just issued, dealing with the railroads of the country during the year, ending June :0, 1905, shows remarkable gains. The commission's report, shows that the gross earnings averaged $9,CGG per mile, of which $2,GG7 came from passenger traffic and $G,7o7 from freight service. This total was a gain of $3G0 per mile over the preceding year. Operating expenses averaged $(i,5H per mile, an increase of but $113. The ratio of operating expenses to .gross earnings, which had been $G7.T0 per cent in 1904, was reduced to $GG.74 in 1905. The net earnings, $G89,500,000, show a gain of $54,000,000 dividends have been increased nearly $12,000,000 without considering those paid by subsidiary companies leased for operation, and the surplus is over 90,000,000, compared with $5G,000,000 in the previous twelve months. Geo. Thayer returned. Saturday from Rochester, N. Y. and brought some good contracts for his company. . Marvin Loudon of Maxinkuckee, was i nthe city Friday on business. He is one of the. men who are an example of what luck will' do for. a. man when it is backed by energy and pluck with good judgment attached. . John B. Miles has been brought here from Culver and will make his home with his son, Charles Miles. Grandfather Miles is in his 92nd year and is infirm in health. "Rudolph and Adolph" that rollicking, lively, farcical comedy, with its pretty girls, catchy music and company, of real fun makers will be the attraction at the opera house next Tuesday. It is one long continuous laugh from start to finish. . Oscar Cramer, who left here last spring for Spokane, Washington, has returned that he may be nearer satisfactory treatment for his wife," who' is in reduced health. We are glad to have him back but sorry he must return for such a cause. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Humrichouser entertained J. T. Brosnahan, of Pierceton and his brother, M. F.-Brosnahan, of the 'Tribune a't a six o'clock dinner Friday evening. Blue gills from Barbee lake figured conspicuously in the menu. In the last Ohio legislature a law was passed creating a t public inspector of county and state officials. It has1 got to work, and reports thus far made indicate that duritg the last eighteen months something like-- two millions of dollars have been illegally taken by the public officials. The operation of" the grafts has been going on for years, and what the total has amounted to in all these years is only conjecture. Old party politics come -high, but then people Frank White, an old resident of Green township, died Thursday at his' .home, seven miles south wves.t of Argos, aged about sixty-eight years.
