Both the "dry" .and the "-wet"- factions are optimistic, bat if anything the drys" are more enthusiastic. The action of the business men of Logansport in openly fighting the temper ance movement makes the "wets' hopeful. The-business men are working independently of the saloon men and have established headquarters They are- sending out literature to the farmers, distributing cards which show how to vote "wet" and are pre paring to send speakers to every town in the county. The Anti-Sa loon League has booked speakers in almost every village in the county this week, and it is to offset the work of these "dry" advocates that the Logan'sport Business Men's Associa tion is putting speakers ini the -field The movement started by the AntiSaloon League to have a parade of all of the school children of the city, each student -wearing an anti-saloon badge, has been nipped in the bud by A.

FACTS AND FIGURES

INDIANA'S

Julia E. Work's Home, of This City, Is Largest Institution of Its Kind in the State.

The conference which was held in Washington recently, on v the call of President Roosevelt, in the interest of dependent children, formulated a nniroibcr of conclusions as the result of its deliberations. Some of these were to the effect that home life is the highest and finest product of civilization; that children should not be deprived of it except for urgent and compelling reasons; that those who for sufficient reasons must be removed from their own homes, or who have no homes, should be cared for in families whenever practicable; that the carefully selected foster home is for the normal child the best substitute for the natural home. Indiana's laws and methods received much favorable comment at that meeting, and it will therefore be in teresting 'to know exactly what is being done here in the 'direction of the conclusions just' mentioned. So far as dependent children have been made public wards in Indiana, very full record's concerning them are on tile in the office of the Board of State Charities. There are fortyone institutions in the State receiving these minor public wards. In ad dition a fdw of the Boards of Children's Guardians bcrd their ward's in private homes. Altogether " there were 1,743 children in the care of hese .various "in'stit'utions and, asso ciations .on December 31, 1908. The average number is about 1,700. During the year 1908 a total of 659 dependent children -were placed in foster homes by these various asso ciations and 200 by the state agents. Among the associations the Indiana Children's Home, society, wiich has its headquarters in Indianapolis, made the highest record .for placing. It found family homes for 102 children. The next highest number- was placed iby the Vigo County Board of Children's Guardians, 74; the next by the Marion Coutny Board of Children's Guardians 51; the next by the Indianapolis Orphans' Asylum, 44. The German Baptist Orphans' Home at Mexico, Mfaml .County, placed 33, and the Vanderburgh County Board of Children's Guardian's, at Evansvillc, 21. These six orgin'.zati ns placed a total of 327 children, or within--two exactly ha)f .the number placed by the entire numbc rf organizations, 57, at work in the State during the year, not counting the state agency. Some other associations, -hil? not making "so many placements, deserve mention foir good work done. Among these are Bartholomew County Orphans' Home, which placed 17 children during the year; the B-ackfjrd County Board of Children's Gia" dians, which placed 11; the Cass County Orphans' Home, 18; Delaware County 'Home, 18; rh; Knox County iHome, 17; the Madison County Home, 13; and the Tippicanoc County Home, 14. On the other hand, there ar2 a number of institutions for children in the State which make littl; effort to find family homes for their v. ird. Notable among these may be mentioned the Juffia E. Work Training School at Plymouth which has a population of 23S children and placed only two in homes during the year; Wh;t'a' Institute at Wabash, wh ch has 174 children and placed but e:ht during the year; the Home for Friendless Colored Children in Indianaipolis, which has 57 children and placed three; the German Protestant Home in Indianapolis, -which has 42 MILLER A NATIVE HOOSIER. Born and Reared on Farm Mayor of Goshen and Attorney General Charles W. IMiller, who has been appointed United States district attorney for Indiana, was born in Floyd county, February 4, 1863, of parents who themselves had been born in that cour.ty. He was born and reared on the farm, receiving his early education in district schools but finishing it at Ladoga and in the law department of Michigan University. He settled at Goshen, in 1884, to practice law and was a member of the noted firm of Miller & Baker, which has given Indiana a number of jurists of note. He was elected mayor of Goshen before he wais twenty-four years old and served two years with credit. He was a delegate to Republican national convention which nominated Harrison cn 1892. Mr. Miller was elected attorney genral of Indiana in 1902 and again in 1904. He was- a candidate for the Republican nomination of Governor last year and later 'was nominated for Congress in the Thirteenth district. but failed of election. As the senior member of the law firm of Miller, Drake and Hubbell. of Goshen. Mr. Miller gives up a large and profitable law business in accepting the appointment of district attorney. Eliot will Succeed Reid. President Taft has decided to tender the post of amlbassador of tfie United States to Great Britain to retiring President Eliot of Harvard university and the formal offer will be made when he goes to Washington the end of the month to be the guest of honor of the Washington Harvard Alumni association.

HOf LESS CHILDREN

children and placed three; the Allen County Home which has 60 children and placed 15; the Clark County Home, which has 32 children and placed one, and the Daviess County Home, which has 28 children and drd not place any. There were fourteen orphans' homes in the State which last yer placed less than five children each. These institutions, -with their population on December 31, 1908, are as follows: Children Placed in 1903 in Boone County, Lebanon, 4, Population Dec. 31. 2; Children' Placed at Clarke County, JeffersonviMe, 1, Population 32: Daviess County, 'Washington32; Children placed at Davies County !Wiashingt'on None Population 28; Children pilaced at Decatur County, Greensburg, None, Population 7; Children placed at Floyd County, New Albany, 2, Population 17; Children placed at Franklin County, Brookville 3, Population 6; Children placed at Jefferson County, Madison, 3, Population 22; Children placed at Lagrange County, Lagrange, 3, Population 10; Children placed at German Protestant Home, Indianapolis. 3, Population 42; Children placed at Home for Friendless Colored Children, Indianapolis 3, Population 57; Children placed at Julia E. Work's Trainftig School, Plymouth, 2, Populat'on 238; Children placed at Spencer County, Rockport 2, Population 19; Children placed at Vanderburgh County, Colored- Home, Evansville. 3 Population 16; Children placed at Warrick County, Boonville 3, Population 6. In some instances, notably the Decattsr County Home, aid the placeable children had been transerred to familie: and those on hand were of a less desirable class. ' It is a striking fact that the Floyd County Hbme. with 17 children, and the Spencer County Home, with 19. placed the same number of children as the Ju'lia E. Work Training School which has! 23S inmates. It must be remembered that the latter institution makes a speciality of caring for defectives, but at the same time ?t has nearly a hundred placeable children in its care. The Franklin County Home with 6 children, the Lagrange County Home with 10, the Vanderburgh County Colored Home with 16, and- the Warrick Count y Home wih 6, placed as many chil dren during the year as the Jefferson County Home with 22 children, the German Protestant Home in Indian aoolis -with 42 and the Indianapolis Home otr Friendless Colored Children with 57. The St. Joseph, Allen and Grand County Homes, with 52, CO and 78 children respectively, plac ed the same number of children, 15 each, as the Madison-Counfty ' Home. which had 30 children at the close of the year. There are fifteen orphans' homes in the State which on December 31. 1908, had more than forty inmates. The number ranged from 41 in the Delaware County Home at 'Muncie to 238 in the Julia E. Work Train ing School at Plymouth. Five of these institutions (the Children's Home Society, the Vigo and Mariom County Boards of Children's Guar dians, the Indianapolis Orphans' Asy lum and. the Gorman Baptist Orphans' Home) placed 306 ohifldren during the year 1908 and had 387 re maining, the other ten placed 113 and had S35 remaining. Of these fif teen largest homes in the State, therefore,, the five first mentioned did three times the placing that the other ten did. WERE MISLEAD BY DREAMS Dug Into Well for Gold and Locat ed Two Dead Cats. Several year9 ago Jacob Railsback, a hermit, died in an old log cabin on his farm near Bruce lake ten miles east of this place. Arthur Metzler, an attorney, residing at Röchest er, was appointed administrator of the hermit's estate. There was found an old-fas'hioned carpet bag contain ing $10.000 in gold, which was divid ed among the heirs. The administrator sold ' the farm to Mrs. Lindon Talbert, and recently he has .had! many dreams that a large amount ot the henmit's gcJd was buried in an old stonewalled well. Farmer Talbert and Attorney Metzler went down in to the well and dug and w rked down in .the dry well for several hours and found 'two dead cats and several old buckets. They quit work until Talbert hai a new vision. Eight Lawyers in Delegation.

MORTUARY &: James L. Cleveland. James L. Cleveland died Monday morning at his rooms in the Shafer block after am illness of several weeks Had it not been for liquor and dissi pation, James Cleveland might have been at this time, one of the most prominent and respected of Plymouth's citizens. Liquor was his ruin, and .has been Ms sole indul gence for the past thirty years. It must be said however, that he was always genteel and -polite to all, and altogether harmless. At one time James Cleveland was a prominent merchant of Plymouth, he being en gaged in the grocery business from the time he moved here in 1850, until about thirt years ago when he re tired from business life. James L. Cleveland was born in Ontario county, New York, about seven miles from Canandaigua, th county seat, in August 1832, and died n Plymouth', March 22, 1909. His parents names were Willard and Sallie (Strong) Cleveland, the' father a native- of Masachusetts, and the mother of Connecticut. Mr. Cleveland, with his brother, the late Gilson Cleveland, were reared' on the arm, and moved to Marshall county and settled on a farm west of this city, in 1834. A tfew years later, the amily .moved to Plymouth, where both sons entered into business, Gilson as a general merchant, and James in the grocery business. In 1835. when the family first moved to this county, there were but three buildngs on the present site of Plymouth. James Cleve.lani was engaged , in the grocery business as partner to several men, at different times, his partners Heing Thomas K. Houghton, Thomas Patterson, Hiram Work, and others. At one time he was partner in a gro cery store which stood where the cigar store, now owned 'by Robert Snell is located. Another time he owned a grocery store on the corner of Washington and Michigan streets, where the Rhodes store is now locat ed. Both of these former buildings burned years ago. In 1865 James Cleveland was mar ried to Miss Catherine McDonald. sister of Daniel McDonald. No children were born to the union. 'Mrs. leveland died in 1895. Mrs. Zachary Tanner formerly of this city, now of Indianapolis, is a niece of the deceased. Mrs. Lottie Armstrong Middlekauf of St. Louis, is an adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Cleveland. The funeral was held at the Church of God, Wednesday after noon, at 2:30 o'clock. Interment at Oak Hill. Wilbert A. Cramer. Wilbert A. Ctamer died af the home of his -father, Isaac Cramer, one and one-half mile north of Inwood, Sunday noon, aged 13 years.

ANANIAS BAKER DIES IN N. M. EX-FULTON COUNTY LEGISLATOR PASSES AWAY AT ALBUQUERQUE. Had Been Long 111 With Consumption Exposed Cigarette Bribery in Legislature. Rochester Ind., 'March 18. Ananias Baker, member of the. Indiana House of Representatives in 1905, died today at Albuquerque, N. M. Mr. Baker left here a little over two weeks ago. He had been long suffer ing with tuberculosis, but after living in the open air in a terrt here, tie showed such signs of improvemen; fliait äris .-fend's and farrtfly were much encouraged. Then he went to New Mexico and Arizona, where he expected to recover fuly. The body will reach here Saturday. Ananias Baker caused one of the greatest sensations ever known in an Indiana Legislature when in the ses sion of 1903 he exposed an alleged attempt at bribery, in connection with the anti-cigarette bill which was then pending in the House of which Mr. BakeT was a member. Waved Fie $20 Bills. The anti-cigarette bill to prohibit the sale of cigareUes within t'he state was under discussion in the House when Mr. Baker arose to speak. He declared "that there had been aittempts at bribery and when he reached the climax of his speech he took from pocket an envelope which he said contained five $20 bills and waived it high above his head. The money, he said, hfid been given to him by lob byists, who opposed the enactment of the anti-cigarette law. This episode caused a great stir in the House and led to the chase after O. A. (Cigarette) Baker, which has continued ever since. Representative Baker's dramatic speech was made in the forenoon and by the middle of it'he afternoon the Marion county grand jury and the city de tectives were busy. It was charged that "Cigarette" Baker, representing a tobacco company, lhad been lobbying against "the anti-cigarette bill and detectives were on guard at the Denrson hotel, Indianapolis, until late a: night trying to find "Cigarette" Baker. They failed and all efforts to arrest him since "have been fruitless. It has been reported several times that ''Cigarette" Baker -was living the life of a prince in Canada, but as far a is known he lias never ventured ini: the United' States. About one year ago Ananias Bake: went to Indianapolis to find out jus: what had become of the five $20 bilu which had "been turned over to the Marion county prosecutor and which were being held as a part of the reward offered for the arrest of "Cigarette" Baker. Mr. Baker found that the money was safe in the hands of the Marion county authorities and he was satisfied. Why He Was ' Named Ananias.
