MONUMENT MONEY FOR INSTITUTIONS HELP FOR THE LIVING PREFERRED TO MEMORIALS TO THE DEAD. Senate Finance Committee Will Kill Many of Proposed Bills Economy Being Practised. It is pretty well understood just now that some ot the many monument bills will have tough sledding when thejr reach the Senate finance committee. At each session of the Legislature there always are a number of bills to appropriate money to erect monuments. It is said that the monument bills this year will be of secondary consideration. Senator Horace Hanna, who is a member of the legislative visitation committee, ami also of the Senate fi nance committee, said Saturday thai he could r.ot outline definitely just what tae policy of the committee would be, but he felt sure he said, that the first effort would be to take care of the State institutions and t'htis, he said, would be a greater task this year than usual. "As an example," he said "$151,. K)0 is asked to complete the iwork on the Southeastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane. Then there are a number of institutions where the population 'has increased and where there mu-t be an increased maintenance fund. I believe rhat whether or not money fis appropriated for monuments ami other such enterprises will depend largely upon the conditions in which the State's finances will re main after all of the State institutions are taken care of. I do not believe there is a tendency to go to extremes in th-e way of economy, but I do believe that there is a general feelimg that everything should Ik? side track ed until after the institutions have been cared for." More Money Wanted. One of the bills whichi looks to an increased appropriation for a State institution was presented by Senator Wood. It provides that the per captra maintenance tax 'for the State Soldiers' Home, at Lafayette shall be ircreased from 12.50 a month to $15. It provides also for increased salaries for sorr.e of the officers of the home. It is believed the provision for increased maintenance will come nearer g:tting through than the provision for increased salaries. It is pointed out bv Senator Hanna that the question of an appropriation (for a tuberculosis hospZtal aiso must be considered. This question probably will be considered after the existing State in stitutions have been cared for. The appropriation for the tuberculosis hospital, however, will have consideration before arry of the requests for miscellaneous appropriations such as the purd'asf df old batt'e grounds or the building of monu ments. Monument Bills. The usual number of monument bills are coming tio the front of this session. A bill by Senator Strange aks for an appropriation of $10,000 to buy (the Mbsissinewa battle ground and erect a monument there on. A b31 in the Senate by Brady Ol 00091$ jo 'Uoi;BudoJddB we SjHO -ht io liicmMii ut sjuaanuoui piinq Oina soldiers at Antietam. Both of these bills hive been referred to the Senate finance committee. In the House Elliott was introduced a bill asking for an appropriation of $10, 000 to build a monument to Schuyler CaHax at South Bend. This bill is now in the hands of the w'ays and means committee aid iwnen it reaches the Senate wil probably go to 2ie finance committee Another bill in the Senate for ! monument is by Hawkins. This re quests for an appropriation of $1,000 or the purpose oif building a monu ment at Portland ifor John Jefferson Williams, th-e last Indiana soldier killed in the civil war. Senator Haw kins, however, was wise enough to have the bill referred to the commit tee on rights and privileges. Hoosiers in Oklahoma. A Hoosier club has -been organized in bhawree, Oklahoma, with mem bership of over one hundred The members hail from all parts of Indi ana and among them are lawyer doctors, ministers, merchants, mechanics, farmers, bankers, laborers etc. The club 'holds frequent meetings and Indiana songs, readings from Hoos!er poets toasts to the ear lier days in Indiana, amd every warm association to which memory forwlly clings beguile the ihvuirs away. No Deaths in Nine Months. The quarterly bulletin of the In diana State Raiilroad commission, jus issued, sets forth the interesting in formation that there has not 'been a passenger killed on a steam railroakl or interurban line in Indiana during the past nine months. Such a situa tion has not existed oi Indiana roads in the past twenty-five years and dur ing the time the annual death har vest 'has never faile ? tv fall under ten persons. Saw Lincoln and Douglas. Gcv. Marshall when four ears o age, was liken .by his father to cne of the debates between Lincoln and Douglas in 1S3S. He says Lincoln took him on his knee and Dougla not to be outdone removed him to his own lap.

DOCTOR E. B. DERBY,

CONFIDENCE

Is Charged with Defrauding $247.50 Board

Bill at Grand Hotel Just Out of Chicago Jail.

"Doctor" E. B. Derby, forger, aleged confidence man of a score of scnems, residence unitea states, ate of the Cook county Work House Chicago, 111., and well known here, is anguishing in the jail in this city confined there on the charge of deaulting a board bill, at the Grand Hotel, in this city, for the sum of $247.50. The unpaid board is alleged to have been received by Derby and his wife from the first of Januar", until' the middle of May of last year. At that time he left for Chicago, promising his landlord that he -would return the next day. He didn't come jack, but a feiw months later was ar rested in that city on a charge of :rgery, for which he received a senence of six months in the House of Correction and from which ihs term iirl jitst expired, when requisition pa jers were obtained, and he was .r.ught to Plymouth by Sheriff Vor-i-i Wednesday evening to ans'wer the v.nrge of defraud'ng a board bill, u::.le by A. J. Bowell, proprietor of he Grand Hotel here. Mr. Bowell notified the Chief of Police at Chino, as soon as Derby failed to re turn to t'.us city, ana when he was arrested at Chicago a short time after va'd, Mr. Bowell received word to he effect that Derby was in the Chia;ro House of Correction, and when his term drew near its end there Bowell took steps to have him ..-tight back to Plymouth. Was Jailed for Forgery. Derby was arrested in Chicago in J latter part of June last year, . hnrged wrth forging the name of a riend to a check. For this charge e was found guilty, on July 1st, and .eeived a six month sentence, as the following communication from the ;W.al of police at 'Chicago to Sheriff Voreis, reveals: Department of Police City of Chicago July 2, 190S. Daniel C. Voreis, Esq., Sheriff, Plymouth, Ind. Dear Sir: Referring to the matter of E. D. Derby, beg to say his case was called for trial yesterday and he was senenced to the House of Correction for six months and fined $10.00 and costs by Judge Chetlain. We ihave made arrangements so that Tie will be held for you as soon as his .time expires at the above institution. You will be notified in time so that m 0 paoers may De secured lor nis retv.rn to Plymouth. Yours very truly, William W Cudmon, Acting Captain Commanding Detective Bureau. Came to Plymouth Last Year. E. B. Derby came to Plymouth on Ian. 1st, or thereabouts, of last year. and took a room and board at the Grand Hotel. He was selling patent atomizer-., guaranteed to cure the mst pronounced cas; of asthma, or br.-michal trouble. In a few days he came across a certain gentleman here who was engaged in the manu facture of hair tonic and liniments Di" different kinds, for which he had a good local market, and in which Dery saw a field for operation. To Organize a Stock Company. Derby at once began operations for organising a stock company, ot whidi he was to be an officer, and from which the manufacturer was to have a royalty, for the extensive manufacture and sale of the Hair Tonic. It was said that a number of Plymouth business men subscribed for stock but later a hitcTi came in the proceedings, and Derby was unable to ctollect any money on the deal. It is alleged that Derby got away with a list of 1500 testimonials belonging to the local gentleman. Derby was joined by his wife on about the middle of January, who remained with him for a couple of months. He left for Chicago about the 11th of May, after a four month stay at the Grand Hotel. In this time Derby paid Bowell about $S3, and left a debt of $247.50. Worked Ruse! on BowelL When his board bill began reaching a high figure and his landlord saw I danger of a financial loss, Derby lulled off a scheme to reassure ;Mr. ft nvell. He had letter heads printed in this city, bearing the name of a fictitious firm at Youngstown Ohio on whidh he wrote a letter to himself at Plymouth, signing the letter by a fictitious name, in which money in the sum of some $400 was promised to Mr. Derby, to be soon forthcoming. The (letter was mailed from Plymouth to a friend at Youngstown who mailed it from there to Derby. Crl course wflien the letter came Derby showed it to Bowell, and assured that gentleman that he would iioon get all of his money. It "was a few days later that he decamped to Chicago. Caught in Company of Girl. Detectives who effected his capture at Oliicago, say that Derby when arrested was in compainy with a young stenographer, whom it was afterwards learned, he was trying to marry. The young woman was a daughter of a poor widow, who possessed a little property. The young woman, after Derby's arrest, turned over to the police a number of letters which Derby ihad written ber, and these are now in the possession of the Chicago police. Other Alleged Con Deals. Derby is alldged to have pulled off a confidence game involving several hundreds of dollars, at South Bend a couple of years ago. A man by the name of Derby solicited advertise-

ALLEGED

MAN, IN JAIL HERE ments and subscriptions for a proposed "St. Joseph County Magazine" which was never published, and the dollectcd funds of which were carried away b the promoter, when he disappeared. Derby however, denies being tMnneicted with the South Bend deal. Is of Good Family. He was 'born oif a good family, at Joliet, HI. Later Ihe moved with has parents to Chicago, and then to Morgan Park. It this latter place he received his education, completing a high school course there. His father at present is a Justice of the Peace at Morgan Park. His wife is also of excellent ifamily, -her brothers at present being superintendents of the Car negie Steel compary at Youngstawn, Ohio. That her brothers are aware of Derby's crookedness, is shown by the 'following letter, written to Andy iBcnvell. concerning the husband of their sister, of whom Mr. BoweJl had enquired concerning Derby's charac tcr and previous h'story: Carnegie Steel Works Co., Youngstown, O., Jufly 6, 1903 Th'os McDonald, Gen. Supt. Youngstown District. Jos. A. McDonald Supt. Mr. Andy Bowell, Proprietor, Grand Hotel, Plymouth, Ind. Dear Sir: In a former communication I advised you that E. D. Derbywas in the Oook County Jail, Illinois, and ince that time I have learned that a warrant 'has been forwarded m nie roiice uepartment in nicago from Plymouth and I assume that this wararnt has been issued under your affidavit. I have been told th.st intcres have been at work in Plymouth to suppress whatever charge has been brought against him. What I desire you to do is to push this case and advise me if there a're any other cases against him in Indiana or elewlhere that you know of. . Very truly yours, '' J. A. McDonald. Further Continuance Taken. Doctor E. B. Derby, who is confined in the county jail awaiting a hear, ing on the charge of defrauding a board bill at the Grand Hotel last summer, was a free man for two minute Monday mo rning. At the expiratirn of that time, however, he was rearrested, and led back to the bastile, I implicated even deeper than before. In otv.cr words the original charge against Derbj was dismissed, and anot'hei amended somewhat, was filed wi;h Ju-tice Young. The charge on which Derby was arrested and brought from Illinois with requisition papers, was for defrauding Andy J. P. nvell, of board bill. The amended affidavit was for defrauding Sarah J. Bowell, the difference being that t-he wife is the owner of the örand HoteJ. The Uvo minuter during which Derby was free, was immediately afiter the original charge was dismissed arid before a wan ant was issued for his arrest on the amended complaint. Caused a Discussion. Quite a legal discussion arose in Justice Young's court 'Monday morning, "when. Prosecuting Attorney H L Unger asked for a continuance ii the Derby trial stating that hi wished to secure importairtt witnesses from Youngstown, Ohio. Atty. Stevens objected to the continuance, stalting that the law provided that if a continuance was asked because of the absence of additional witnesses, then the names of those, witnesses should have been written by the prosecutor on the back of thie affidavit. Such had not betn done. Justice Young wished to be certain on the recommitment of Derby to jail, and hence the hitch int'he proceedings. Prosecutor Unger said that the case would be easily remedied and seizing the affidavit speedily affixed the names of the new witnesses. Another discussion arose as o whether the amended affidavit was a new clun c, which should necessitate the dismissal of the original charge, or whether it was simply an amend-ed original charge. It w-as finally decided by dismissing ithe first charge, and rearresting Derby on the amend ed arhdavat. Will Be Tried Monday. The court then 'set the 'hearing for next Monday, Feb. 1st. A large number of witnesses have been subpoenaed from this city, and the state will endeavor to secure witnessed from Youngstown Ohio, who, they maintain, will prove a fraud which Derby is said to have worked on Bowell, relative to the board bill.

KRUYER'S SALOON

IS ROBBED THIEF WORKED FOR HOURS ON BLIND DRAWER IN COUNTER. Entrance Was Made Through Rear Window Secured About $10 Worth of Goods. After working, for what was estimated as over an hour on a "blind" drawer, in the counfter back of the bar in Kruyer's saloon Wednesday night, he thief after cutting ani spPitting the counter badly, d:scovcred his mistake and made his "get away" with change and goods valued at $10. The damage done to the bar fixtures will however amount to more than the attual amount stolen. In the course of operation, the thie'f broke his pocket knife, which was found nearby on the bar, and badly lacerated his hands, bloodmarks of which were found smeared about the window, in w'hich the entrance was made. Entrance Made from the Rear. Entrance to the saloon, -which is located on north Michigan street, was made through a rear window. The thief (it is presumed that the robber worked alone), gained entrance by cutting out an entire pane of glass, with a pocket knife. The window was not smashed in, ibut was cut around in the frame. Evidently the thief feared that t'he noise which would be made by the breaking of a glass pane would attraet attention, and so resorted to the more quiet, but slower job df cutting around tho glass. It was in this operation that the thief lacerated his bands, and blood stains were found on the glass and window frame. Worked on Blind Drawer. In the counter back of the bar, is a series of drawers, five or six in all. Of these, the drawers on each end are "'Mind" drawers. These are imitation rf drawers, and resemble the others on the outside exactly, but they are false and cannot be opened. It was on these two drawers that the thief wasted his most efforts. Beginning on the drawer nearest the rear of the room where he made his entrance, the thief attempted to pry it open. Th?s was- one of the blinds, and marks on the counter show that an iron stove poker, which was found nearby, was inserted in the handle, and an attempt mide to force open the drawer. The handle btoke from the blind, and after a vain attempt a: cutting, the thief passed on to drawer number two. This, and the third were unlocked, and contained only towels, etc. The cash drawer was next pried open and $2.35 in change removed therefrom. Evidently the burglar thought there was more money in the saloon, and he made a final and des perate attempt on the last blind. The handle was broken off and a stove poker and piece of wood, each broken in the attempt to pry it open. A large hole was then cut in the blind lrawer, at a point where the juncture would be, and in this hole another large stack was inserted in an effort to force open the supposed drawer. In this operation, the counter was damaged the most, being split from the hole to the next drawer. In cutting the ihole in the blind drawer the blade of the knife used was broken off, and the broken part remained in the wood. Stois Cigars and Liquors. Besides the small amount of change obtained, the thief secured five boxes of Kruyer's Special brand of cigars, a bar bottle containing about a ouart of whiskey, a bottle of imported gin, a bottle of Bitters, and four quart bottl-es of Rock and Rye, and sixteen packages of smoking tobacco. Found Booty in Alley. A part of the 'booty, consisting of two boxes of the cigars and a couple bottles of the liquor were found Thursday morning by Ghlas. Glaub in !ihe alley back of Ceo. Vinall's barn. The total amount of the loss, outside of the damage done to the fixtures in the saloon amounted to something over $10. ' Must Have Worked Long. The most interesting part of the affair is the long period of time which must have been required tc out! off the job, and the fact that he was not discovered by the officers. By the amount of cutting with a pocket knife, that was done, it is likely that the thief worked at least two hours on the job. It is also unlikely that the cutting on the drawer in.vidk.' the saloon, could have been done entirely in the dark, and lights must have been used. WEAK KIDNEYS RESPONSIBLE. Kidney Diseases Cause Half of the Common Aches and Ills of Plymouth People. As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breakingdo wn. Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys; and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poilnson circulated in the blood Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an ever increasing tendency towards diabete and fatal Briglit's disease. There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney h;1p. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidnys and cure every kidney ill Plvmou b cures ar? the proof. F. W. Hill, of Michigan street. Plymonth, Ind., says: "In 1902. I had occasion to use a remedy for hard, severe aches and pains in the lorins and small of the back. Having heard Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended, I procured a box at Richard's Pharmacy and upon using them was relieved of my trouble. I havr since hichly recomended Doan's Kidnev Pills and will continue to do so in the future." For sale by all dealers. Pri;: f0 c nts. Foster-Milburn Co Buffalo, New York.

C-.as been issued in bulletin form. The report covers the loss by fire to tCie Pennsylvania lines east and west of Pittsburg ;or the year 1908. During that period there were 1,937 fires with an aggregate los of $314,14'..cy, a sJight decrease ever the previous ytar. The tramp nuisance caused cne of the biggest items of expense, ats it is &'.vown that seventeen fires were caused by them with a total loss of $12,358.82. Fifty -wrecks caused a fire loss of $38,9830, while thirty-four fires of imcendiary origin caused a" 'oss of $10,455.12. Lighted cigarettes, cigars and pipes which caused the biggest fess of any single 'tern in the report for the previous year, did not prove so disastrous daring the year 1908, as it is shown that they caused but six fires and a los of $1,508.40. Two fires were caused by ihe careless handling "kf fi reworks, while spark from engines caused a loss of $104,127.92, distribued ah rough a total of 261 fires. Restored to His Office.
