TEDDY BEAR WAS LOST.

AN EXCITING SCENE WHEN JAS. WOOD DRAGS LITTLE DOROTHY COX FROM IN FRONT OF FAST -MOVING TRAIN. "Tra-la-Ia," hummed a golden-haired, brown-eyed little girl, as she playfully trotted across the platform of the Pennsylvania station, Sunday afternoon, looking down into the upturned eyes of a little brown Teddy bear, which she lovingly fondled. The child was Dorothy Cox, of Rose l.ake. His. Her mother was in the waiting room, her eyes closed in a short rest, when the tot decided to explore the wonders of the "big, big building," as she termed the Pennsylvania station. A few people were standing on the platform when the littletot, care l'rcc, began to .scamper e round through the train sheds unaccompanied. While intent upon cooing her little brown teddy bear into fcleep, she stepped off the north side it tho platform and fell directly in front of No. 18, the Chicago-Cincinnati express which was pulling over tno Eighth srtreet crossing at rapid speed. A wee little cry of amazement fend fright, warned big James Wood of Cleveland, a traveling man, that the youngster was in danger. He sprinted across the broad platform and tho four railroad tracks intervening between hirn and the child and picked her up from under the very nose of the powerful locomotive. He had but stepped to the platform again, when the big eteel monster steamed by. The rescue was witnessed by a large number of people awaiting for the train. Unmindful of her narrow escape from death, Dorothy burst into a paroxysm of grief because "Buster," the teddy bear, was missing. She could Hot be consoled. Mrs. Cox, who was apprised of the danger of her daughter tan to the little one's assistance, but arrived on the scene just as Mr. Wood, the rescuer, lifted the little one from the tracks. The mother clasped her offspring to her bosom and wept. Tho entire party, the rescued and the rescuer, left on the same train for Cincinnati.

Open Each Wednesday Evening E Believe That the State Can Well Afford to Boost Salaries Again. CONDITIONS IN RICHMOND. AVERAGE PAY HERE IS $750 A YEAR WILL BE APPEAL MADE TO NEXT SESSION OF LEGISLATURE FOR INCREASE. According to statistics recently compiled by Superintendent T. A. Mott of the local schools, there are ninetythree teachers in the Richmond public schools who are paid an average salary of $750 a year. The salaries were boosted $50 a year by the last legislature, which is very acceptable to Richmond teachers, but generally speaking their is a sentiment among them that they are underpaid. Local knowledge dispensers with others over Indiana, it is asserted, will league themselves together and appear before the next Indiana legislature and ask an additional increase. When asked this morning why the teachers were making such strenuous efforts at this time for increases in salary, a local pedagogue made the assertion that in Indiana at the present time, there seemed to be a sentiment in favor of grantir.g the teachers better salaries and rather than let this sentiment die it is thought best to constantly remind the public, that instructors are still underpaid and stand ready to accept whatsoever increases the legislature might legalize.

TO SEPARATE STATE TAXESJBOM LOCAL Question to Be Discussed by The State Tax Board. ASSESSORS WILL ATTEND. The question of the separation of State taxes from local taxes will be taken up at the next regular meeting of the State Board of Tax Commissioners. It is likely also that the question will be discussed at the meeting in January, which will be attended by county assessors, the Tax Commissioners and other officials of the State who are interested in the question of taxation. Whether any action will be taken looking to legislation on the methods of taxation will not be known until the subject has been thoroughly considered by the officials interested in taxation.

the desire for genuine clothes is more general now than for many seasons past. We judge by our largely increased business and the exceptional interest manifested in the higher grades. The conclusion is inevitable that the people at large are beginning to realize that true economy lies in buying the Best. individuality and qualify are now the features most sought for, whereas, some seasons ago price dominated the clothes world. Today it is subordinate and a mere Incidental. The world progresses the wide range of Overcoat styles is shown in the pronouncement that patterns are just as classy as the solid blacks.

DEFENSE PLANNED AGAINST THE STATE Ex-Clerks of the Supreme Court Prepare for Hard Legal Battle. SOME QUESTION EXISTS. POSSIBLE THAT THE ACTION HAS BEEN TOO LONG DELAYED WILL BE BITTER FEELING ENGENDERED AS RESULT. Indianapolis. Nov. IS. The suits filed by Attorney General Bingham against Andrew M. Sweeney, Alexander Hess and William T. Noble to recover several thousand dollars in fees which they are alleged to have withheld Illegally while serving as clerks of the supreme and appellate courts, will be noteworthy legal battles for the reason that they will involve the question of whether or not the state has sufficient interest in the funds to prevent the statute of limitation from running, as well as the question of the state's power to sue to collect the fees. The defense of the ex-clerks will be that the statute of limitation bars collection, it is said, and new constructions of the statute of limitation will be required. The constitutionality of the law of 1!X7. making the ex-clerks liable for the amounts of the fees with a penalty attached, will be decided also. No legal battles in which the state has been interested, will have been more bitterly contested than will these suits. Attorney General Bingham is preparing to put up a strong fight to collect the fees and the ex-clerks are preparing a strong defense. W. W. Thornton, attorney for Mr. Noble, has made the statement that "tax ferrets" had inspired Attorney General Bingham's action. Mr. Bingham, in a statement yesterday, did not altogether deny this statement, although he holds that such a statement was hardly justifiedthe law of 10O7 making it plain that it was his duty to collect the fees in controversy. The attorney-general holds that the law never authorized the funds to be collected by the exclerks in any capacity except as officers, and when they ceased to be officers they were no longer entitled to them. In a statement yesterday AttorneyGeneral Bingham outlined his purpose in filing suit to collect the fees, as follows: "1. To have them distributed to the persons to whom they belong. "2. If the owners cannot be found to pay them into the state treasury to be held as funds that escheat to the state, in accordance with the statue; and. To teach officers that at the expiration of their terms of office they can not carry away with them everything that happens to be lying around loose." CARD OF THANKS. I wish to thank Dr. L. W.
