HOT COMPELLED TO PAY OH LOST GOODS 'County Assessor Mathews Says Leniency Will Be Shown Flood Victims.

County Assessor Mathews announced this morning that persons who lost property during the flood would not be taxed on what they lost as is being done in some counties in the state. Many county assessors were notified by the state authorities that they would not be allowed to take into consideration the damage done by the recent floods in making assessments but would have to take the property at its value on March 1. While the county assessors have no authority to grant rebateB, there is a law which provides for the relief of flood sufferers. It provides that in all cases where buildings or personal property has been destroyed, in whole or in part, by unavoidable causuality, after being assessed for the year, and such loss is not covered by insurance, the county auditor shall, upon sworn proof of such loss, allow a rebate of such proportion of the taxes for that year as that part of the year shall remain, where such destruction bears to the whole year.

SlMsleewe" Bosses hi

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON, April 10 There always has been more or less feeling in the State Department between the "shirtsleeve" and "silk stocking" diplomats. With the sudden retirement of Assistant Secretary of State Huntington Wilaon, the shirtsleeve men believe that they have come again xtx-o power, while the silk stock'nc brigade views with alarm the possti!icy of ;.ne department becoming a joke among the envoys of foreign powers. This feeling has beei a tradition in the department. The hopeless minority, during President Taft's administration, has violently, if ineffectually, protested against the efforts of scrretaries and under clerks to "ape" the mannerisms of the English. Tho majority has replied coldly tluu social usages must be observed if w are to convince the representatives older nations that we are not barba-ians There was a lot of formality when Philander C. Knox and Huntington Wilson ran things. On the slightest provocation, the frock coat wa3 dragged out and donned. Tea at four -o'clock became as regular as monthly consular reports. Clerks were called "clahks" and everybody bowed politely to everybody else, while the bewildered stranger wondered at all this culture and refinement going to waste. Secretary Wilson never lifted his voice to a high pitch. He always spoke in soothing whispers, evt-n when he wanted to "bawl out" some yellow newspaper which was one of the best things he did. Also Secretary Wilson never appeared wearing frayed collar or an unpressed sack coat. He always was suave, gentle and impeacably -it-tired. Secretary Bryan never can on the other hand, be held to be a silk-stocking diplomat. His best friends will not claim that for him. Bulky almost clumsy in his movements, clad in a frock coat that has seen long service and wearing the regulation black string tie, he is a perfect picture of the Secretary of State that Jefferson might have desired. The smaller formalities so well recognized by the outgoing administration have no attraction for him. Recently he met a group of diplomats representing the great powers of Europe. Instead of a prolonged reception and the interchange of pleasant compliments, he herded the diplomots into one group and shook hands right and left in splendid imitation of T. Roosevelt's style. Those diplomats who had schooled themselves to meet the formal reception of Secretary Knox, were astonished to put and custody of eight of their thirteen children. PETERSBURG A local option elecI tion will be held in Washington town ship, which includes Petersburg, May 3. BRAZIL The Clay County Anti-Tuberculosis League will have a summer camp this year. PORTLAND An addition containing six rooms will be built to the Bryant high school building. PORTLAND Judge Moran refused to sit as trial judge in two suits brought against the Elks lodge because he is himself an Elk. ELWOOD The city council has passed an ordinance extending the fire limits to include twice as much territory as is now covered. GENEVA A senior class dispute causes lively times at the school here. Eleven of the sixteen members wish to graduate in cap and gown, while the other five refuse to wear such garb. MARION Grant county commissionrs have authorized a forty-thousand-dollar bond issue to repair bridges and highways. JJEWCASTLE An unidentified man has been visiting Henry county farmers taking subscriptions for flood sufferers. The police brand him as a crook. Anderson The suit of the Warner Gear company of Muncie against the DeTamble Motor company for $1,500 alleged due on a bill has been venued to Henry .county. ANDERSON Fire from a defective flue destroyed the home of James Strickler, near Markleville. Loss,! $2,000.

it mildly at this entire change in secretarial demeanor. A thoroughly practical man is Manton Wyvell, secretary to Secretary Bryan. He, like the chief of the state department, is opposed to unnecessary flourishes and formality. He wears a sack cpat and hustles around like a managing editor when an extra is about to be gotten out. Huntington Wilson's bright young men have to fight off heart failure every time they behold Wyvell, in his abbreviated coat galloping up and down the corridors. Although the State Department at ; the present time is being rapidly deprived of the frills which were its mainstay in the dear, old days, there still is enough of the silk stocking brigade left to constitute a strong minority. Most of their time is spent in wondering whether overalls will come into fashion before Woodrow Wilson's administration ends. The feud between the shirtsleeves and the silk stockings never is apparent on the surface. To the ordinary etrnncrar it vnulri nnnanr that tha atsata department is one great and gloriously ' happy family minus petit jealousies. But after one comes to know the employes one will hear sneering remarks. For instance, there is one Latin-American official who looks like a prize fighter (although he is a very capable man). Certain young gentlemen will, on the slightest opportunity, sob audibly that such a "roughneck"' should be handling delicate affairs of state. On the other hand, the friends of the Latin-American officials point out with some pride that while the pulchrltudinous boys are trying to balance top hats on the back of their sloping heads, this "roughneck" is settling disputes in Central American countries with quickness and dispatch. Ever since Woodrow Wilson, with the full knowledge and support of Secretary Bryan took his fling at "dollar diplomacy," the silk stocking element has been keeping quiet. Not a peep will be heard from them for about a year or so. Then little yarns about "social mistakes," etc., will creep into the papers and the reader may be sure that the silk stockings have been talk-! ing. Even as Huntington Wilson's tea things were satirized, so will other '.informalities" be made the subject of jest. It is not possible to get rid of the silk stocking element. Neither is it possible to rid the department of the shirtsleeves battalion. Both are useful in their various ways. It seems a shame that this undercurrent of sarcasm should cause this breach beneath the surface should create a .feeling that no one administration can wipe out. rather expected at the Gennett, and at considerable higher prices. Certainly this is bargain week at the Murray. Murrette. "Wiihin The Limit of The Law" a two reel feature is part of the program at the Murrette today. The story explains how a doctor performed a surgical operation on a woman which being unnecessary proved fatal which shows that strong men commit crimes because of a woman. The doctor in question having become enamored with a dressmaker's model spent money freely on the model, going beyond his means and performed the unnecessary operation charging a big fee in order o obtain money to spend on the fascinating model.

SCHOOL CHILDREN HERE TO COMPETE Medals to Be Given For Best Composition on Maintenance of Roads. A number of Wayne county school boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 15 years, will compete for the gold medals to be given by Logan Waller Page, a public road director of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for the best composition, not exceeding 800 words, on the repair and maintenance of earth roads. These compositions will be submitted before May 15, and the model will be awarded as soon after that as the compositions can be graded. The schools of Wayne county will hold an elimination contest for the purpose of selecting the best compositions from Wayne county to place in the national competition, which, it is expected, will draw out the best efforts of the school children. The material for the compositions, according to the rules of the contest, may be obtained from books or magazines but no quotations taken from any book or paper will be allowed. Many children living in the rural districts have experienced the disadvantages of roads made impassable through a lack of proper maintenance and it is expected that their interest in the competition will stimulate greater interest among the parents. Bad roads have prevented many children fro mobtaining a proper education and have even prevented doctors ' from reaching the side of rural patients in time to save their lives. Any child between the ages mentioned, attending a country school, may compete. Only one side of the paper must be written on; each page should be numbered; the name, age and address of the writer, and the name and location of the school which he or she is attending must be plainly written

at the top of the first page. The announcement of the competition has been sent to the superintendent of schools in Wayne county. COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN Too much care cannot be used in selecting a cough medicine for children. It should be pleasant to take, contain no harmful substance and be most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets these requirements and is a favorite with the mothers of young children everywhere.

Pension System on Railroad Proves Success-3,807 Men Now on Roll

The Pennsylvania railroad has just completed the thirteenth year of its pension system. One of the first acts of A. J. Cassatt on becoming president of the road in 1899 was to recommend to the board of directors that without delay a plan be placed in operation to pension employes who had reached the age of "0 years. Records just compiled show that during the thirteen years the plan has been in operation, a total of 7.152 men have received payments through the pension funds of the Pennsylvania of 18,368,786. out of the earnings of the various companies. Of this amount $6,319,902 have been paid on the lines east of Pittsburg, and $2,048,884 have been paid on that portion of the Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg. Of those who have received pensions, 3,345 have died, so that at the present time there are 3,807 men on the pension rolls of the company. Of these, 2,843 are on the lines east of Pittsburg and 964 west of Pittsburg. On December 31, 1912, there were 296 pensioners on the lines east of Pittsburg more than 80 years of age, and of this number there were nine who were more than 90 years of age. The names, occupations and divisions where last employed of those over ninety years of age were as follows: Michael Eckerline, Altoona Machine shops. James Kaylor, Altoona Machine shops. Elias Griffith, Altoona car shop. James L. Shields, Conemaugh. David L. Graeff, Philadelphia. Thomas C. Payne, Trenton. Charles Lupton, Philadelphia terminal. James Gray, Elmira. Chas. A.

'My New Studebaker"

There's a note of pride in the remark. tTo own a Studebaker buggy is to own the finest, classiest looking, lightest running vehicle on the road. Slender, yet sturdy wheels, flexible bentreach gear of the new Studebaker pattern, well proportioned, graceful lines, upholstery of the kind that makes you want to lean back and enjoy yourself, and the Studebaker double ironed shafts, strong and shapely. Why wouldn't any man be proud to own a Studebaker?

ployes In their old age, provides that the entire pension shall be paid by the company. Every employe must retire at the age of seventy. In case of physical disability at the age of sixty five the employe may be retired. The pension amounts to one per cent of the average salary or wage for the ten years previous to retirement, multiplied by the number of years the man has been in the employ of the company. No man may enter the service of the Pennsylvania after attaining the age of 45. Any man retiring at seventy thus receives at least 25 per cent of his average annual salary of the previous ten years. Employes retire without any obligation whatever to the company and many of the menengage in outside occupations. The only stipuation is that they may not. under any conditions, re-enter the service.
