RICHMOND, IND.

All Eonor to This Public Official.

Right minded people cannot but admire the public official who is not subservient to vast wealth, and -who fearlessly discharges the duties cf the trust that has been reposed in hfm, regardless of glittering monetary. Inducements to violate its functions. It is truly refreshing, in these degenerate days -when the cry of "gralt" is going up all over the land that public? office holders of this brand to exist. All honor to Augustus A. Schwarcecke, coroner of New York City! Chat good old Teuton name should te emblazoned upon a tablet, and placed in the most conspicuous spot In the great metropolis. For fearlessly protecting the interests of the public. Coroner Schwannecke's income Is lessened just $6,000 per year. This Is the direct result of the activity that he displayed In probing Into the wreck of a New York Central train on the Bronx curve on Feb. 18. It appears that he is, or rather was, manager of the excise department of the American Surety Company, and as such drew the above named sum as compensation. It happens that two of the directors of th'6 great company Chauncey M. Depew and James Stillman are also members of the directorate of the New York Central. When this conscientious official took . the initial steps toward fixing the responsibility for the disaster, he summoned these two men and eleven of their multi-millionaire associates to appear before him. They ignored the summons, and gave him to unde. stand that he had the alternative of dropping the Inquiry, or losing $6,000 per annum. There was no hesitancy cn the part of Coroner Schwannecke as to what course he should pursue. By way of answer he placed the matter in the hands of the grand jury, and that body has taken up the investlgttion. Every honest man who believes that a "public office is a public trust" should doff his hat to Coroner Schwsnnecke. If the blame for this slaughter is not laid at the doors of the guilty persons it will not be his fault.

J. E. Bundy Receives Praise From Chicago Paper For His Ability As a Painter of Landscape. (Chicago Post) Western art confesses a debt of gratitude to the group of Indiana painters, T. C. Steele, J. Ottis Adams, W. Forsyth, Otto Stark, J. E. Bundy and their associates who have had the native strength to develop a distinctive landscape painting under discouraging conditions and have remained faithful to the Inspiration of the country at their doors. Their canvases, appearing year after year In Indianapolis, Richmond and various centers where exhibitions are held "Within the boundaries of the State, have opened .the eyes of the public to the quiet beauties of woodland, shallow streams and marshy byways of the country at their doors. The tender sentiment that gives an Immortal touch to the poetry of James Whltcomb Riley is the illuminating quality that vitalizes the landscape of the Hoosier painters. The subjects are homely the same groves of trees, undulating prairies, sluggish creeks, clothed n the everchanging garment of foliage, shifting from the pale greens and yellows of springtime to the ripened hues of midsummer and the royal glories of frostpainted autumn, with over all a sky ever transfigured by sunrise or sunset and the passing panorama of the cloud world. From the material that Inspired the poet the painters made their pictures of familiar scenes that echoed in the lives of the sons and daughters of Indiana. Reflections concerning the important mission of the Indiana landscapIsts, who have found art in landscape at home, were called forth by a collection of about twenty-five canvases by J. E. Bundy, which are on view in Young's American Art Gallery in Kimball Hall, with several works by J. Ottis Adams and T. C. Steele. Mr. Bundy's landscape depicts the groves of oak, birch and beech that straggle to the edge of the prairie and flaunt their autumn colors under the softer airs of Indian summer. Few artists have been more successful in grasping the individuality of the Western tree, and still fewer have had the ability to throw poetry into the beauty of the simplest landscape composition. "A Wooded Hillside" is an attractive work and typical of Mr. Bundy's choice of subjects. Like the verses of the Hoosier poet, the pictures are painted for the home. Perhaps some of the smallest canvases are In Mr. Bundy's happiest vein, and though the matter which is used In the compositions is made of a limited 'number of themes, the variations are extremely interesting. STOOD GUARD OVER WOLF. Nervy Young Girl Prevents the Animal From Getting Away Until Her Father Arrives. Bedrord. Ind., March 12 Miss Lulu Cobb, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Caleb B. Cobb, a well-known farmer of Springville, this county, while in the yard attached to her father's home, eariy in the evening, saw a large gray, wolf, which seemed to be much exhausted, take refuge in a thrown-up cellar, near the house. She telephoned to her father, after which she took the family shotgun and stood guard over the hole into which the wolf had crawled till help . arrived. The wolf was shot and killed. It measured nearly six- feet in length from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail. It is supposed that the wolf had been chased from Mouroe county, and that it is the same animal which had done much damage lu killing small live stock. It Is the first wolf killed in Lawrence county for fifty l ears,

NUMBER 301. SELECT POSTMASTERS FOR EIGHTH DISTRICT President Shows Friendship For Beveridge. ARE ANTI- CROMER MEN. Washington, March 12. The following appointments of postmasters in Indiana were announced today at the White House, following a call on the president by Senators Beveridge and Hemenway: Carl White, Muncie; H. L. Dehority, Anderson, and E. E. Fornshell, Elwood. This is complete victory for the anti-Cromerites. Dehority was a county chairman fighting Cromer; Fornshell shot blood into his newspa per against Cromer at all times, and White made speeches against Cromer. PAINTING MAIL BOXES WITH COAT OF GREEN. Although rather early for the cele bration of St. Patrick's day, the postoffice department is doing it with a vengeance in this city at present. All mail boxes, numbering about 70, are receiving a new coat of green paint, upon the recommendation of Postmas ter Spekenhier, who called the attention of the postoffice department at Washington, to their bad condition. This is the first time the boxes have been painted in eight years and many of them were rusting through. Contract for the work was let to Ranks, Besselman and Ranks, who were the lowest bidders. All paint used is of special preparation, sent out by the postal authorities at Wash ington and is the result of much experimenting. The paint is made so as to dry almost immediately upon ap plication. In order to visit all the boxes in the city the painters will have to cover a distance of 17 miles. DIES OF HIS INJURIES. Muncie Bartender Who Was Shot Re cently By Drunken Hoodlums Is Dead. Muncie. Ind., March 12 Everett Wright, the bartender who was shot from ambush a week ago by George and John Clock, junk dealers, as Wright alleged, died today in the City Hospital, as the result of two bullet wounds. The Clock brothers, so Wright said, fired ten shots at him in the . darkness, when they disappeared from the city and have not yet been captured. One of the bullets struck Wright in the neck and an other in the abdomen. The attack was made on Wright be cause the Glocks started trouble in a saloon where Wright was employed, resulting in Wright ordering them out. Going uptown, as alleged, the Glocks bought revolvers. Wright said that as he was on his way home, after completing the night's work, he was attacked by the two men, who were hidden in an alley. It was several hours before the assault was reported to the police and by that time his assailants had time to make their escape. They were traced into the country, where the trail was lost. Wright was thirty-two years old and married. Going to Chicago. Cambridge City, Ind., March 12 Walter Waddel, who has been engaged in the clothing business here for the past ten years, will leave for Chicago soon where he will engage in business. lie held a sale of his household goads last week and is closing all business interests before he leaves the city.

ENGINEERS IN TROUBLE. A party of twelve engineers survey

ins toward Richmond on the new Chicago, Bluffton and Cincinnati railroad, between Union City and Port land, is having its troubles all because the farmers are objecting to the work and state that they will have no traction line near them. Already the party has faced shot guns, muscled bull dogs and clubs, but the work is going merrily on. AIR BRAKE TESTS. The Pennsylvania railroad will soon Inaugurate a series of air brake tests according to the information given out yesterday in local Pennsylvania offices. The tests are to be made by the engineers of the road, in order to see If It' is not possible to secure a more efficient air brake than the one now in use, one which will bring trains to a more sudden stop when the brakes are applied. A NOISELESS ELEVATED. In order to solve the problem of building a noiseless elevated railroad the Pennsylvania is now carrying on numerous tests in Wilmington, Del. An elevated railroad is about the noisiest piece of construction that can be built, and the "pennsy" !s endeavoring to make its new "L" system, one which will be as little bother to people and business men along the way, as possible. IS PARTIALLY RECOVERING. Local freight officials say the Rich mond division is recovering partially from car shortage with which it has been threatened for some time. Although cars are still almost as scarce as the proverbial "hen's tooth" more cars are finding their way into the city than ever before. The threatened freight blockade is also easing up, and should weather, of such nature as to promote the quick handling of freight make its appearance, all will be joy along the Richmond- division. RATES PROVE ATTRACTIVE. The colonist traffic and rates to the west offered by the Pennsylvania at the present time, are drawing a large number of Wayne county people of limited means, who otherwise probably would not have a chance to get to the coast. About twenty people have already gone and more are to follow. Two left Sunday, while a party is expected to leave the later part of this week. MAY GO TO JUNK PILE. Officials of the Pennsylvania are now considering placing all point switches now in use on the Richmond division on the junk pile, replacing them with new ones of better and more simple pattern. The point switch has never given a perfect service, there being many objections, and it is the idea of the company to get a model which will give the better service. Just when the work will begin local officials are not willing to say at this time. SCHOOL TEACHER FORGER. Shelbyville National Bank Holds $300 Worth of Worthless Paper He "Laid Down." Shelbyville, Ind., March 12 A for gery has come to light, and it is known that $300 of worthless paper is held by the Shelby National Bank, of this city, while Bert D.

He has been traced to St. Louis, where the trail was lost. WEATHER RETARDS WORK ON HOOSIER BUILDINGS Owing to the ' unfavorable weather conditions work on the new buildings of the Hoosier Drill company are progressing but slowly. Although the company was expecting to have the buildings completed during the -middle part of the summer, all hopes have been given up for this, and it is now figuring on completing the addition some time during the fall months. As soon as' the new buildings are ready for occupancy the cold storage, sand and coke storage, blacksmith and painting and foundry plants will be moved from their present - locations, and all the old one-story build-" ings now used for housing these departments will be torn down and new additions . built immediately to the rear of the main factory building.

The 10,000 freight cars belonging to the Pennsylvania, now in service on other roads, cannot be obtained by the company as the connecting roads prefer to pay the fifty cents a day fine, rather than turn the cars over to the owners, they having great use for them in transporting congested freight. The agitation for the establishing a rest house for Pennsylvania employes in this city is at the present time quiet, and other than the first announcement made by this paper that the "Pennsy" would take such action, nothing has been learned, neither are the officials willing to make a statement in regard to the mater. It is known, however, that the plans are already drawn and local division men are only waiting the sanction of higher officials before the rest station Is Installed. General Manager G. L. Peck, of the Pennsylvania lines, is now touring the entire system making an inspection of the conditions. As the result of the recent Inspection by the officials of the Richmond division, it is said that a number of new culverts will be built along the division during the early spring roadbed overhauling.

College authorities are considering ... severai outside instructors out navecome to no definite conclusion as to who these will be or what depart ments they will be placed in charge of.

RATLIFF SAYS HE DID THE BEST HE COULD Is Willing to Stand on Record He Made, HOW POLICE BILL DIED.

"I tried to the best of my ability to please my constituents in this counjty during the present session of the legislature. I voted for what I thought was right, and I guess that is the best any man can do. I will be willing to stand on my recond," announced Representative Walter S. Ratliff on his arrival from Indianapolis. His .face beemed like a schoolboy's and he showed no loss of weight from his strenuous experiences in the house. Mr. Ratliff is greatly pleased over the failure of the McCuIlough bill. which, had it passed, would have re pealed the metropolitan police law. The last four days the legislature was in session a merry war was waged about the McCuIlough bill and Mr. Ratliff was one of the bitterest enemies. Never Left the Table. He stated that the bill would' have been passed over the governor's veto but for the dilitory tactics of the dem ocrats. Mr. Ratliff stated that the re publicans who opposed the bill got inside news last Thursday that the governor had vetoed the bill and when it was sent back to the house the democrats were found asleep at the switch. Only eighty-five members were present and the bill was at once called, the governor's veto being sustained by a vote of 43 to 42. This was not a constitutional majority and a motion was made and carried, for the benefit of the republicans . who voted with the democrats to pass the bill, to place themselves "right" with their constituents, to table the bill subject to it being called again. This clever piece of politics would have forced every republican, had the bill then been called again, who favored the McCuIlough bill, to line up with the Democrats. The plan proved to be a successful one as the bill never left the table. Hopeful to the Last. Monday there were constant reports of coupes planned by both democrats and republicans for and against the bill. By a ruling made by Speaker Branch the statute of limitations for calling the bill for reconsideration ended last Friday night, but the demo-1 crats were not discouraged and they planned a move with the aid of some republicans, who favored the bill and who had been promised democratic support in passing the Farber Insurance bm over the governor's veto, to dethrone Speaker Branch and place a democrat in the chair who would per mit the McCuIlough bill to be called forth to its Waterloo. However, there ' -Oroya tnn manv nnnnnpnts to the Far- . . ... , her hill in the republican ranks, so ! this petty revoution on the part of the democrats fell through and the metropolitan police law was saved.

MISS HULDA KUGHLER There is a beauty and attractiveness in health which is far greater than mere regularity of feature. A sickly, Irritable, and complaining woman always carries a cloud of depression with her; she is not only unhappy herself but is a damper to all joy and happiness when with her family and friends. It is the bright, healthy, vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging and that every thing tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melancholia, she should remember that Lydla B. Pinkham' Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs will dispel all these troubles. By correcting the cause of the trouble it cures where other treatment may have failed.
