When Miss Georgia Savage returns to Hammond this week from Spo kane, Washington, she will have, a story to tell her girlhood friends of how $100 generously invested brought her a fortune. The $100 represented the savings of two years' hard work as clerk in a Spokane department store and when she gave the money to her brother, L. A. Savage, Just out of a hospital, she wiped out her balance at the bank. In the two months that have elapsed Miss Savage has received $50,000 in cash and a sixth interest in a gold mine reputed. to be worth millions.. The story of her sudden rise to wealth reads like a romaxce. ' III health forced Miss Savage to go west two years ago and after a brief rest she secured a position in a de partment store, where she drew- a weekly salary of $6. Her personal needs were small and. out of the sal ary she drew she contrived to save'in two years $100. Then word reached her that her brother, who had been considered the black sheep of the family and had gone west' in search of his fortune, was ill in a hospital at Tonopah, Nev. With characteristic unselfishness the girl drew her $100 from the bank and sent it to Tonopah, where her brother was just leaving the hospital. With the unexpected funds he went to Fairview, Nev., and began pros pecting. After a week of unsuccess ful effort Savage got discouraged and began to' wander at random, losing himself in the desert. One night when there was a storm raging he sought shelter under a cliff of rock rising sheer from the plain. He passed the night under the ledge and when he awakened in the morning he was amazed to find himself literally surrounded by a drift of free gold which had been released by a thunderbolt. After several days of wandering he reached FairYiew, and securing stores returned to stake out six claims. Word of the rich find spread in the vicinity and a town has sprung up on the site which .Savage dubbed "Wonder." The vein proved upon ex ploration to be a rich one and the young prospector disposed of three of the six claims for $250,000, retaining three for himself. j As soon as he had secured the purchase money Savage wired his sister $50,000 and his assurances that she should retain a half interest i:i the claims which he held. Miss Savage will reach Hammond this week after an absence of two years. Both she and her brother were reared in the Indiana town and she has many friends there who wil' delight in her good fortune.

' The session of Congress that has just' adjourned was not much more extravagant than its immediate predecessors. But it at least showed lit tle disposition to resist the tendency toward extravagance which has of late been so marked. Senator Culber son showed on Saturday that there had been a steady increase in expenditures. Those for 1904 were $33,430,995 greater than those for 1903. The increase in 1905 over 1904 was $40,336,233, and for 190Ö over 1905 $17,903,830. All this is exclusive of amounts spent for the Panama canal We. have had a total increase for these three years of $97,767,004; of this increase $34,000,000 is chargeable to the jiaval establishment. Senator Culberson puts the case thus: The total expenditure for the years 1903, 1904, 1905. and 1906 was $2,933,004,409, and, ' deducting Panama ex penses, it was $2,886,421,039. Tt e to tal expenditure of the years 189S, 1899, 1900 and 1901t the four full years of McKinley, was $2,4r.0,31f,39a. It thus appears that, exclusive of all expenses in Panama, the expenditures for the four years of Roosevelt exceeded those of the four years of Mc Kinley, although he conducted the Spanish war, by the extraordinary sum of $434,t04,699. That is a remarkable, and a most startling showing. The truth is that we are living in an era of reprehensible extravagance, both in national and private affairs. We hear of people who have actually mortgaged their homes that they might buy automobiles. With such a spirit abroad in the lind it is not surprising that the Government should be influenced by it. But there is no reason why the expenditures for the last four years should have exceeded by $434,000,000 the expenditures during the McKinle" administration which was of itself far from parsimonious. The growing tendency toward extravagance is dangerous. Indianapolis News. For Sale. My residence corner Garro and Center streets, time given if desired. Also household croods. d2w3 Mrs. J. B.

How The People's Drag Store Sell Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh. The People's Drug Store has an unusal offer to make to our readers, one that will be of the greatest value to many. For some years The People's Drug Store has been watchnig the results from the use of Hyomei, a treatment for Catarrh that cures by breathing medicated air, absolutely without any stomach dosing. The results have been so universally successfi.l that they feel justified in making a public offer to treat the worst case of catarrh in Plymouth with the understanding that if Hyomei does not cure, the treatment will cost absolutely nothing. People who have spent large sums with catarrh specialists, deriving but little benefit, or the many who have swallowed stomach remedies in the vain hope of curing catarrh, have experienced, almost immediate relief from , the use of Hyomei, while the continued ' treatment for a short time, has resulted in a complete and lasting cure. The regular Hyomei outfit costs only one dollar, and consists of a neat pocket inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest-pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. If this is not enough for a cure, extra bottles of Hymci can be obtained, for 50 cents. The People's Drug Store guarantee a cure, if Hyomei is used in accordance with directions, or they will refund the money.

The Appropriations. Mr. Tawney, the new chairman of the House appropriations committee, thinks that the appropriations for next year will aggregate $1)00,000,000, which is a tremendous sum." However, this includes $198,000,000 for the postal service, which will be covered by the receipts execept about $10,000,000. Deducting the postal revenues, the cost of carrying on the government if all the appropriations are expended will be $718,000,000. And that, too, is a very large sum. The per capita cost is between $3 and $9. It has not been- many years since we managed to get along with a per capita charge of $3. However, the appropriations committee has done some good things, and has shown a disposition to encourage the reform spirit The chairman has had many difficultise to contend with. One of the moat serious is the policy of permanent appropriations which Congress is under the law bound to make. These amounted this year to $175,000,000. They are authorized as permanent and are made annually; under a law which permits them to be expended without Congress having anything to say about it. Mr. Tawney speaks of .them thus: A permanent appropriation is an appropriation made by a law specifically providing that there is hereby permanently appropriated so much, for a specific purose. An example of this approriation is contained in the meat inspection act which is now pending before Congress. That act, as passed by the House, authorizes a permanent appropriation of $3,000,000 annually. That amount is to be expended annually in-the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture without any further action on(the part of Congress, and without any control or supervision over its disbursements. The appropriation continues indefinitely, and can cease only when Congress passes an act for the repeal of the law. It is the same with the amount appropriated for the expense of collecting customs revenues. And we have a permanent appropriation of $2,000,000 for the militia. In such cases as these Congress is practically forced to vot2 the money. We think Mr. Tawney is justified when he says of this policy.: "It is a most vicious policy for the reason that once a permanent appropriation is made, it is practically impossible to secure its repeal. New Date for 'Hangman's Day. "The crucifixion of Christ took place on Friday, and I do not think it appropriate to set the execution for two murderers for that day," said Judge Sutton of Omaha, when he sentenced Jay O'llearn and Harrison Clarke to be hanged on Monday. The statement of the court came as a surprise, for it upsets the long-established custorh of making Friday "hangman's day." "My reason for fixing Monday," continued the court, "is that I think it better to have these men meet death on the day following Sunday, which is devoted to religious thought and services, as they naturally will be in a better frame of mind to go to their final reckoning on that day than any other." A Six 0clock Dinner. A very pretty six o'clock dinner was given Thursday evening, by Mrs. O. C. Tribbey complimentary to Miss Clara Mowbray of Peru. The dining room was very tastily trimmed with green and nasturtiums. Covers were laid for eighteen and a most excellent dinner was served by Otto Albert Eater in the evening the guests were joined by the gentlemen at the Bowling alley where a most enjoyable evening was spent. Miss Mowbray left for home Friday leaving many .warm friends in Plymouth.

".The Pittsburg MiUionaire," Whatever advice the millionaire generally may need, "the Pittsburg millionaire" as he is known tiirough-the strictly photographic representtions of him in the criminal, semi-criminal and sensational newsrf the time apears to need nothing so much as a compulsory course in the ten commandments and the elementary virtues. 't he world hears of "the Pittsburg millionaire" in connection witti reckless gambling at Monte Carlo and with wife desertion and entanglements with fascinating and indiscreet chorus heroines or artists' models, with murders prompted by jealousy and amorous intrigues. The world, in truth, has been treated to a series of shocks by the, Pittsburg variety of the millionaire, and if it should stray in its judgment there would be little occasion for sur-, prise. Troubles for "Trusts." Gentlemen who have regarded the national and state trust statutes as elaborate jokes, as illustrations oi the cynical aphorism that it is the function of language to conceal thought are having their eyes opened. The federal government fresh from certain victories over illegal combinations, announces a new series of prosecutions under the anti-monopoly and anti-conspiracy laws. An Ohio court, under a drastic si ate law, imposes prison sentences on five members of an ice trust, and the situation is such that escape from the penalty is almost impossible. In Missouri a court, following an explicit statute, holds that a man is not legally liable for the prke of any goods purchased of an unlawful combination. He may pay if he chooses, just as a gambler may pay his debts as a matter of honor; but legally there is no difference in Missouri between a "gambling debt and a debt arising out of a transaction with a criminal trust. Verily, it does not rain but it pours for the combinations that rest.ain trade and competition regardless of legal prohibitions. Reunion of the Longs. The descendants of Gen.
