!M VRY TOUCH POOOIEl FDR THE AGEilTS IThite Waiting for School Book Plum to Be Served, Representatives Both Cuss and Discuss Him. HIS "BUTTING IN" IS VERY MUCH RESENTED

They State the Governor Is in A Class by Himself as a School Book Anti-Trust Hammer Wielder. (Special Correspondent.) Indianapolis, May 12. The school took men who ; have been hanging around waiting for the state board of education to award the contracts for the school books for the schools of Indiana for the next five years . have a pent and are still spending much of their time in the hotel lobbies cussing and discussing , Governor Marshall, who, by butting into the matter, as they put it, has been the means of probably saving the people many thousands of dollars in a gouge that wis attempted. They say Governor Marshall is in a class all by himself m a school book anti-trust agitator. The governor's sudden calling of the board's attention to the Macmillan .Company's contract - concerning the Tarr and McMurray elementary geographies has been the chief topic of conversation among the school book men. And, by the way, fragements of their expressed opinions have reached the governor. ... Goes in Like a Bull. "He's the damnedest governor I ever ran up against in alt my experience as a book man, said one of the agents. "When " he goes into that board of book commissioners It's like a bull going into a china shop, and when he goes out he leaves just about as much of a wreck. I have always been used to treating the adoption of a school book as a sort of 'star cham ber matter, but this governor comes out of, the room, and when he finds a, newspaper man waiting for him he takes him Into his office . and tells him everything that took place in the dneeting. Then whenever he has anything which he thinks ought to be said about the book contract he calls ;a newspaper man into his office and tells htm about it. He does not seem to think there is anything about makling a book contract that ought to be kept QUiet." ' ;v A Different Deal. "It's a different deal from any I 'tare ever had in the book business," aid another.' "Usually all the details are looked after on the side, and the newspapers are not expected to get , anything about what is going on until I after the preliminary work has all been done and the contract is let Here you have a governor that evitdently believes there is nothing the newspapers ought not to know about ,lt I shall not be surprised if he asks I the beard to admit a newspaper man 'to the meeting next Friday, when the t board is to agree upon an adoption." The board will meet Friday mornjing and will take up Attorney General Bingham's opinion to the effect Ithat the Macmillan company, supplyting the Tarr and McMurray elementary geographies at 30 cents can be compelled to continue furnishing the books at that price. There has been no such widespread objection to the geographies that the board feels they should be discarded, and it is thought that any attempt to supplant them at this time with a book which will cost 45 cents, when, in the . opinion of the attorney general, they can still be had for 30 cents, will be so daring a step that the board will not think of taking it. "If this board adds fifteen cents to the cost of that book when it is , konwn that it can be had tor its present price, the : members will have a j mighty hard time explaining to the I thousands of people who are compelljed to buy them," said Governor Marshall, yesterday. In addition to the geographies, the board will select readers,, arithmetics land copy books. I A WONDER THAT HAS PUZZLED MANY. There are many people ' that are greatly pussled over the wonderful effects of Root Juice? When this new medicine was first introduced it was generally thought that a new fake was born to die In a short time. But as time passes and so many testimon ials are pouring In from alt over the country from people who had given up hope of ever seeing another well day, and neighbor is telling neighbor of - some great good received from the use of Root Juice, many people are wondering why this great remedy was not discovered years ago. What a great boon to human-kind la a remedy like Root Juice, a combination of nature's drugs that soothes and : heals and tones the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels. How sweet is health and bow wonderful are the many cures that Root Juice has made of rheuma tism, catarrh. Indigestion, female -.irn.aa and other troubles of the dl gestlve and secretory organs.

The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills, For Richmond kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Rich mond people who have been cured to stay cured. ' Benjamin F. Lunsford, N. E. Cor. Twentieth and South B streets, Rich mond, Ind., says: "The statement I gave for publication In 1906 endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills told of my ex perience with this remedy and at this time I am glad to confirm what I then said. I had been bothered by kidney trouble off and on for at least fifteen years and whenever I caught cold, my back became so lame and painful that I could hardly get around. At times the flow of the kidney secretions was profuse, then again scant and distress ing. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. Q. Luken & Co's drug store, relieved these annoyances and once or twice since, when I have taken the remedy, it has promptly relieved me." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

AN INJURY TO CHARACTER An interesting law suit is on trial at New Castle that will be watched throughout the state. " A man named Ross was arrested several months ago and tried on the charge of burglary. While the trial was in progress the judge called a stop, telling the prosecutor the state's evidence was so weak it was an injustice to prosecute ' the man. The affidavit against Ross was filed by Jesse French. Jr., a well known manufacturer of New Castle. Ross now is seeking $5,000 damages for false imprisonment and Injury to character.

Measles and the Police Were A Drawback to the Wedding

I Chicago, May 12. Measles and two policemen theraten to stop the wedding of Miss Louise Wilson, 7038 Princeton avenue, to Arthur McCracken tonight. - ' The bride and groom say they'll be married. ', JThe health department says they won't. i , One mother hopes they will and another hopes they will not try to defy the law. Meantime the license baa been issued and the Rev. 1'." J. Robert has been asked to-perform the ceremony. The minister has no parish or children to whom he might carry the meas les and therefore those concerned say the wedding will occur as announced. The bride-to-be is ill in bed. She says her mother is keeping her there out of an. excess of home hygiene. The health department says she has the measles and there's a red sign on the front ' of the bouse that says so too. . . . . - Miss Wilson is superstitious about weddings. She doesn't want to postpone hers and neither does the bridegroom, Mr. McCracken, cattle buyer for the National Packing company. His mother, Mrs. Arthur McCrackFOOLED THE ROBBERS An Incident of the Days of Stagecoach Holdups. QUICK WIT OF PAT CL0HESY. The Trick by Which the Old Time Mining Man of Colorado Saved HimIf and Sacrificed His Fallow Travelers and the Story Sequel. , "When the passengers In the old coaching days found themselves in the clutches of the 'road agents' they instinctively hurried, during the short time that driver and guard were being put in a proper state of helpless ness, to secret money and valuables in the first safe place that suggested itself," said a veteran Colorado mining man. "But such precautions were useless, for there was small time and smaller opportunity of place to hide anything in a mere shell of a coach. If a man was found without money, they stripped him and searched the stage as well. "The experience of Pat Clobesy, an old time mining man , of Colorado, is historic. One afternoon be took the stage from Silver Cliff camp, bound for the railroad, sixty miles away. In the coach were a dozen other passengers, none of whom knew him. As they reached the narrowest part of the gorge that leads out of Wet Mountain valley a loud command of 'Hold up your hands? brought the stage to a sudden standstill and every passenger In it to a swift realization that unless quick action was taken he would go broke. One crammed his wad of bills down his boot leg; another thrust his roll down the back of his neck; a third took off bis bat, put his wallet insid and set it back on bis head. Every man Jack of them attempted to .secrete his money except Pat Clohesy, and Pat sat perfectly quiet. "In a few moments a ride barrel appeared at the window, and there came the order, 'Hands up and all outr Out the passengers tumbled and stood in line with lifted bands. Pat at the far end. When the searching highwayman went through the first man he found nothing. Irritated at this, he started through the second, with the same lack ef success. Angry at this, the bandit turned to his fellow robber, who stood covering the line with his Winchester. . " They have been tryln to hide their stuff, d n 'emr he exclaimed. 'We'll jast make 'em strip, and then we'll go through the stage. They'll pay for puttln' ns to all this trouble T "Then up spoke Pat Clohesy from the far end ef the line. 'Gentlemen,' he said, addressing the highwaymen. 1 know yon're ia a hurry, and I know I'm a poor miner with all my property in the world just the $15 I've got In my. pocket If you'll leave me that little roll. I'll tell you where these other fellows have hidden their swag, so's you can collect It quick and skip out Is it a bargain T " 'Sure.' said the man with the guarding rifle. Fifteen dollars meant nothing to the band compared to the risk. 'Well,' said Pat, pointing to the first in line, that fellow's money is stuffed down his right boot leg. "The holdup investigated and drew forth a plump roll of bills from the boot leg. That next man. went on Pat 'has got his money hid under the hind seat in the stage. The bandit found a fat wallet stuffed under the cushion. The aext has got his money In his hat and the next crammed his stuff down the back of bis neck, and the next Pat went down the line of them. while the highwayman drew forth money from all manner of places. Swiftly collecting their booty, they bundled the passengers back In the coach, set driver and guard back on their seats and told them to go ahead, not however, before they had given Pat a twenty dollar bill and a hearty slap ef thanks on his Irish back. 'The storm that broke over his head Inside that coach after it had rolled a safe distance from the bandits threatened his very life before he could get a hearing. Had it not been that the robbers had disarmed them all and Pat was a huge man he never would have get away alive. : 'Each of yon figure up just bow much you've, lost, he said to his fellow passengers when at last they would listen, "and I'll pay yon back not only what that Is, but an equal amount In addition, xor the bother Pre given yon, and be pulled from an inner vest pocket a huge roll of bills. In bewilderment the travelers counted np their losses. Collectively it was about 11,000. Pat peeled off two $1,000 bills from the bulky, mass of money

en, 7111 Tale avenue, sympathizes with the young people. : It is preposterous." she says, "that the measles should be allowed to interfere with a wedding. The young people have planned the wedding for tonight and they haven't changed their minds. When Miss Wilson decides upon a thing bhe usually carries it out" However. Mrs. W. B. Wilson, the

mother of the bride, who has put her to bed, doesn't1 take that view of it. When she heard the health department would station a patrolman at each end of the horse to keep the groom from entering tonight or the bride from leaving she said; "I would like to see the young people get married as they planned, but then they mustn't disobey the law. Suppose they should be arrested?" And in alarm at the thought she exclaimed, "Oh, my, I hope they send plenty of policemen so Louise can't get herself into trouble." And the bride? She has determined to get married tonight if she has to elope from the second story window and make a run under fire from the gaurd outside her home. The groom is willing, too, and there may be a Lochinvar out at the bride's home tonight ana. banding tnem to a responsible passenger, asked him to make correct division when they reached the railroad. " I'm sorry for the unpleasant quarter hour I caused you.' he continued, but it was the only thing I could do to save myself. I hsve just sold a mine back in Silrer Cliff for $60,000 cash and had not other way to bring the money out except in my pocket Here Is the bundle of it. and he held up the fat roll. 'When I heard the holdups outside I thought it was all up, for you can't hide money from those hounds. But when you fellows pulled out your money to hide It and I saw that none of you had any large amount I thought I would work a game on the road agents and give you away to the villains in order to save myself. I surely did! They've got $1,000, but I've Saved my money? "Washington Post As high as we have mounted In delight in our dejection do we sink as low. Wordsworth. WILD ELEPHANTS. A Herd' Successful Raid on a Granary In Csylen. Some soldiers stationed at an outpost in Ceylon, says a Colombo paper, to protect a granary containing a large quantity of rice were sent off a few miles to quiet some unruly villagers, only two of the party remaining behind. No sooner had the soldiers departed than a herd of wild elephants. which had long been wandering about the neighborhood, appeared in front of the granary.. Its walls were of solid brickwork, very thick, and the only opening into the building was in the center of the roof, which was reached by a ladder. On the approach of the elephants the two men clambered up into a lofty banyan tree to escape in jury. Screened by the thick foliage. though unseen by the elephants, they easily saw all that went on below. The sagacious animals began operations at the corners of the building. Two powerful elephants, after putting forth every effort bat in vain, to make an impression on the building, were forced to retire exhausted. A third came forward, and, applying his tusks as levers, he at length succeeded in dislodging a single brick. An opening once made, others of the herd advanced, and soon an entrance was obtained sufficiently large to admit them As the whole company could not be accommodated at once, they divided into small groups of three or four. After satisfying themselves they retired and gave place to others until the whole herd, upward of twenty, had made a full meal. By this time a shrill sound was heard from one of the elephants, and those still in the granary rushed out and joined their companions. One of the first divisions, after leaving the building, had acted as sentinel while the others were taking their turn. He had perceived the troops returning from the village and gave the signal for retreat when the whole herd, flourishing their trunks, moved rapidly Into the jungle. The soldiers found the animals had devoured the greater part of the rice. A ball from a fieldpiece was discharged at them in their retreat but they only wagged their talis as if in mockery and were seen bidden in the recesses of their native forests. i Jimrry G. Sommera,

ARE HOT SATISFIED Farmers Have a Protest on The Kind of Weather On Tap. CORN PLANTING DELAYED Farmers are somewhat disappointed over the weather that has been dished out to them by the weather man, as corn planting is being greatly delayed, while the kernels ought to be in the ground now. - , In the earlier part of last week arrangements were made to put the corn in the ground, but the rains of Thursday gave the planters- a set back., They expected the ground to be in condition the first of this week, but the heavy rains of Saturday night and Sunday has again- thrown calculations out of gear, and it is doubtful if any corn can be planted this week. Corn to mature before the early fall fro&ta ought to be in the ground now and the failure to get it planted is causing the farmer some uneasiness. Yet some of the oldest and best farmers contend that corn planted from May 10th to the 20th is all right IS FAST DRIVING COMMENDABLE ACT Question to Be Decided at Gas City Today. r Gas City, Ind., May 12. When is fast driving and violation of speed rules commendable? The . question will be answered in the city court at Gas City today. Miss Marie Havens has been arrested and charged with fast driving. She claims she was going to the druggist's at Jonesboro to get medicine for her father, who was ill. She believed the case merited great speed being mado and she drove her horse at his top gait. The marshall saw her, however, and not knowing her mission, arrested her. The case was taken to Gas City for trial. c nammiaiiiniaiiail and &rV Pkrns 16 A3. Stock Company
