APPROPRIATION NOT BEEN ASKED

BY TAX FERRET LOWE OF COUNTY COUNCIL FOR 1905. INDIANAPOLIS NEWSPAPERS Recently Published Statement That Council Had Turned Lowe Down. Since the time the contract was let by the county council to Charters

and Lowe. $15,000 has been appropriated to pay their commission and they in 'turn have turned into the general fund of the county treasury more than .$33,000, over twice the amount appropriated by the county. It is regarded as certain that as long as the same ratio of omitted taxes continue to be turned into the treasury by W. E. Lowe the county council will continue to make appropria4. tions to pay his and W. F. Charters' commissions. Of the $5,000 appropriated last. September about $4,000 of the fund remains and on December 31 it will be turned back into the county treasury as it cannot be used r for the ensuing year. Several days ago a dispatch sent out from this city and published in one of the Indianapolis papers stated that the Wayne County council had refused to appropriate $5,000 for 1905 to meet the bills for the commission of W. F. Charters and W. E. Lowe, who have the contract for tax adjusting in this county. This dispatch is not true as up to , . '. -the present time W. ELowe has not ' asked theQfincil for an appropriation for the' ensuing year but will do so at a special meeting of the council, some time after the first of the new year. The first appropriation of ? $5,000 was made in December, 1903, ! for the year 1904. The next appropriation, which called for the same ahitount, was made in June, 1904, and last September Mr. Lowe asked for another appropriation for the three remaining months of the year and for the 1905. The council made a third $5,000 appropriation for the month of October, November and December, 1904, and told Mr. Lowe i to wait until the first of the new year before the 1905 appropriation was made.

p IIUICU III IHC WllCl I'UIMIUUS UJL tne different papers occurred at the jail yesterday morning when Charles

and John Lipscomb met. Both of the boys will see a great deal of each other during the next two months as they each have sentences of sixtyfour days to serve. John Lipscomb was sent to jail on Christmas day for carrying concealed weapons. He was originally arested on a charge of assault and battery, but this charge was dismissed. Charles Lipscomb thought that he would find out what

' h had been the matter with his brother and the Lane family, on one member of which the alleged assault is supposed to have occurred, so Monday

t he collected a fair sized drunk and went around to the Lane store.

9 Trouble ensued shortly after his entrance and it is alleged that Maude V Lane, a young girl, was assaulted. It is also said that Lipscomb struck Mrs. Lane several times and that she was so badly injured that she was unable to leave her bed yesterday. Mayor Zimmerman thought it best to give the man the limit on the charge of assault and battery and both he and his brother will have a 4 ehance to think it over for some tit le to come. - Miss- Marguerite Green who at4 tends St. Mary's of the Woods Academy, near Tere Haute, is home on Q her vacation.

Unkissed Man to Wed. Chillieotbe, O., Dec. 28. Prof. B. Crook, of the chair of geology and minerology, Northwestern University, Chicago, 111., will be married here today to Miss Florence Purdum, at the home of the bride-to-be's parents. Prof. Crook, who is the son of Rev. Isaac Crook, pastor of one of the churches in this city, recently became a private in the small army of the "Great Unkissed," and his utter anees in regard to osculation brought him greater fame than his rating as a scientist. The scientific atmosphere in which he lived has shown him the danger that lies in a kiss and led him to eschew occulation, but it is supposed that he has amended his ideas on kissing with his reunciation of a life of single blessedness.,

THE TRUNK WAS EMPTY AS FAR AS MRS. CHADWICK' S JEWELS WERE CONCERNED HOLLAND HOUSE BAGGAGE Consisted Chiefly of Wearing Ap parelBanker to Testify in - the" Case. Cleveland, O., December 27. Contrary to expectations the inquiry in connection with the Chadwick receivership case was not resumed today. Receiver Loeser stated that nothing more would be done in the matter for several days. "We have definitely located the trunk and sachel that were taken from the Holland House in New York," said Mr. Loeser today, "and they will be brought here within a day or two. Aside from wearing apparel, there is I understand, little of value in either the trunk or the sachel. We had intended today to examine Henry Wuerst, the Eylria (O.) jeweler, who holds about $20,000 worth of Mrs. Chadwick 's jewels as security for a loan. Wuerst has made a full statement of just what he holds, however, and has expressed his willingness to surrender them whenever the loan is made good. The jewels will be appraised later, but my impression is that they are worth no more than the sum advanced by Wuerst to Mrs. Chadwick." No Delay, Says Odell. NewBurgh, N. Y., December 27. Governor Odell, when told at his home here of the delay at Albany in granting an extradition warrant for the arrest of Dr. Leroy C. Chadwick, said: "It is the desire of the executive department of the State of New York to act in entire harmony with Ohio officials in this matter and I will see personally that there is no unnecessary delay."

BURGLARS AT CAMBRIDGE

CHRIST'- GRAVER'S STORE ENTERED BY BURGLARS THEY STOLE ABOUT $100 Nothing Outside of Cash Was TakenMeat Market Was Also Injured. (Special to the Palladium.) Cambridge City, December 27. Burglars entered the store of Christ Graver on Monday night and stole nearly $100. Mr. Graver thinks that the thieves entered the store by the front door and only opened the west door of the store for a "bluff." On Monday night when the grocery was closed the money which had been taken in during the day was distributed in a number of secret hiding places in the store. This action did not fool the robbers as every hiding place was visited and all of the money taken with the exception of a few pennies. The fact that the robbers knew where the money was hidden leads the local police to believe that the deed was committed by home talent. A number of persons who have mixed up in similar cases were closely questioned by the marshal today, but nothing definite was learned from any of them. A close watch is being kept on all suspicious characters and there is no doubt but what the guilty parties will be caught in a short while. Nothing outside of the cash was taken from the store It was first thought that large aunt .of,-. groceries., bul?. so be?n taken, but later investigation showed that this was not so. The meat market owned by Joseph Bender and situated near the grocery was also entered but nothing of value was taken. The only damage done was the breaking of the large place glass in the front window. Both deeds are thought to have been committed by the same party or parties. tlllSS MYRICK Named by Her Father as Clerk in the Treasurer's Office. B. B. Myrick, treasurer-elect of Wayne County, who takes charge of that office January 1, 1905, has named as clerk for the office, his daughter, Miss Clara Myrick. Miss Grace Smith has filled this position the greater part of the time Mr. Spekenheir has been treasurer.

Miss Smith is not thinking of accepting any other position for the time beincr. ASSAYED In Colorado, Indiana Gold is Found to be Real Thing. Petersburg, Ind., December 27.
