PARTIES OF HENRY COUNTY DIFFER Split in Investigating Committee Is Now Expected.

DEMOCRATS ARE THE CAUSE DESIRE PEEP INTO COUNTY RECORDS OF MANY YEARS BACK, ALTHOUGH STATE LAW LIMITS PROBE TO SIX. New Castle, Ind., Nov. 18. A split is confidently expected in the committee which was appointed by the county commissioners for the purpose of selecting an expert to go over the county books and records. The split seems Inevitable unless the republican members concede the demands of the democratic members and make the period of investigation go farther back than six years. The non-partisan board appointed by the commissioners is composed of W. S. Chambers and Edward Smith, democrats and William H. Elliott and Lyn C. Boyd, republicans. The latter are expected to stand by the plan of the commissioners, all republicans, for the examination to extend back six years. This plan is not satisfactory to the two democratic members, who will demand that the investigation extend back for a period of fifteen years and In ono offlcea period of seventeen years, or since 1891. The republican members in support of the commissioners, will contend that the county cannot recover for a period of more than six years back, and this is in accordance with j the statute of limitations. But the: democratic members of the committee1 will contend that, even if the county cannot recover a cent, the investiga-l tion should be this far back as an ex-! ample for the future. It is a known, fact that many fees, which courts have I declared illegal, have been collected by county officers in the past fifteen j years. The democratic members ar-i gue that if an ex-official is honest, he will willingly reimburse the county if it is found that illegal fees have been ' taken by him while in office or if mistakes are found that were in his favor. FIGHT FOR LIVES Sailors Try to Prevent Lumber Schooner From Sinking. BATTLE FOR ONE WIOIMTH. New York, Nov. 18. With forestay sail set the schooner Jennie Thomas of. Savannah, Ga., lumber laden, if she has not gone to the bottom, is drifting 400 miles east of the capes of Virginia, waterlogged. Her captain, William Campbell, and his crew of six men were brought here on the steamer Afghanistan, from Arabian ports. They had fought for their lives for nearly a month on board the leaking vessel in a series of heavy westerly gales and then abandoned her. Describing the thrilling experiences, Capt. Campbell said: "We sailed from Savannah Oct 16. Stormy weather was encountered. On the fifth day the gasoline engine broke. The sails were handled' with difficulty. The foresail blew away and the vessel's seams opened. We manned the pumps and for twelve days kept them going day and nigh, but the water gained steadily. The storeroom was washed out and our provisions badly damaged. On Nov. 16, when the men had almost given up hope, the steamer Afghanistan came along. We abandoned the schooner.

Poor Tools And

A Good Worker That la What Makes Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Sour Taste, Foul Breath And Catarrh. The stomach is a good strong vital organ, which is constantly protecting and feeding every other organ of the body. It is the most abused, neglected and scorned member of man also. Most men abuse their stomach with undercooked food, high living, alcohol, tobacco, pastries and scores of other unhealthy practices. When the stomach at last 6ickens of all this abuse and cannot do its full duty, most men are not warned but j keep up their assaults on the stomach ; until at last it rebels and begins to j strike back and cry for help. Man by his own abuse has taken away from the stomach the tools to work with. These tools are the gastric juices which go to make up the digestive agents. From 7 to 35 lbs. of gastric juice are turned into the stomach every day. When poor, poisonous food consumes this juice, dilutes it robs it of Its strength and throws it, a fermented mass from the system, of course there is just that much of the gastric fluid which cannot be readily supplied by the blood. When food comes into a stomach filled with depleted fluids lacking of power to do their part, the good strong stomach is using poor tools and, of course, cannot succeed in its work. A condition which often prevails is that which takes place when the gastric juice contains too much alkali. If the juice were wholly alkaline it would not only devour and digest the fluid but would eat and digest the stomach itself. Such gastric fluid does the digestion no good and attacks the walls of the stomach making them raw and sore and setting up inflamation and irritation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will strengthen a stomach filled with poor gastric juice. They will remove any abnormal alkaline condition, allay irritation, sweeten the breath, remove catarrhal conditions and digest food ; no matter how the stomach has acted before. These little tablets contain an ingredient, one grain of which will digest perfectly 3.000 grains of food. They will digest an entire meal placed in a jar without the aid of any other force except themselves. They haye demonstrated this time after time. Every druggist carries them in stock; price 50c. and 40,000 physicians use them in their practice. Send us your name and address and we will mail you at once a trial package free. Address, F. A.

An Investigation of the death of a local young woman at Indianapolis a short time ago, is being conducted by the police of the capital city. The young woman died as the result of an operation, which is believed by the lo cal authorities to have been criminal ! In its nature. The matter was placed in the hands of the Indianapolis authorities as the young woman was in their jurisdiction at the time her death ensued. It may be probable that sensational developments will follow the work of the police. It is asserted disclosures may be made that will involve other persons, well known in this city. The body of the young woman was brought to this city for funeral and burial. A lighthouse of bamboo, which is in j use in Japan, is said to have great , power of resisting the waves, and does not rot like ordinary wood. According to Sir Willam Crookes, the noted English scientist, by 1931 the "world's supply of wheat will be unequal to the increase in population. The revenues from the Prussian income tax in 1907 were $59,500,000.

IS. Local friends of the family do not believe there was anything criminal connected with the death of Miss Edith Kerr, daughter of Mrs. Emma Kerr, of Muncie, who was buried here. The scare of the mother is believed to be unwarranted. She thinks there may have been mal practice in connection with the case. Prosecuting Attorney Jessup says the case is outside of his jurisdiction and if there were any violations of the law, other authorities are the ones to investigate. An Unsavory Charity. In all the cafes and beer balls of Germany a large canister Is placed on a table in the center of each establishment. Brery time one of the guests lights a fresh cigar be gets up and deposits in the canister the end of tho one he has jvi.it been smoking. This receptacle is a sort of alms box with a funnel shaped lid, secured by means of a padlock. A charitable association supplies all places of public resort with these boxes for the purpose of collecting odds and ends of tobacco, cigarettes and cigars. The produce of the sale is devoted to the purchase of clothing, which Is distributed among poor children at Christmas. The charity Is believed to be the most malodorous and insanitary on record.
