Dr. Hurty Re-Elected.

The state bjard of health meeticg in ladiatiapilis on Saturday, re-elected Dr. J. Nr Hurty secretary of the board. Ha has held the position for ten jears and his new term is for a period of four years. Dr. Hurty is well known in this city. And highly admired also, in epiti of his somewhat extreme views and expressions, on some sanitary and medical subjects. « had raked in thousands of dollars before the postal authorities •topped the tr_ffi 5. As they never cent the watches or dessert sets find had none to send, they were likely in good shape to 3 retire anyway. We doubt not that a good many Jasper oounty people parted with $1 30 each ou this scheme. Since the above was in type the game scheme has come to the surface again under the name of ‘‘The Eastern Trade Co.”

A Popular Fake Ba[?]red from the Mails

The Postcffioe Department has issued a fraud order agaitst the jßoardmau Consolidated Publish jag Company of New York, a concern which bought up all the letters received by various firms offering prizes for Solving puzzles. The .puzzle eolwrs we.e then notified that their answer to a certain pnz gle was correct and that they were .entitled to a watch or a gold lined silver dessert set or some other prize, provid.d they would send $1.30 to pßy for a year’s subscrip, tion to the ‘lllustrated Graphic,” or some other fake paper, and pay the expense of paoking and shipping the premium.

Politics Must Remain

The widely notice that Delphi was to introduce a new method of eleoting municipal officers and to keep the eleotion free from all political semblance allowing a oommitte to name the candidates and have but one ticket in the field, is all gone before the winds. Discontent at not having a fair show at receiving nominations was oreated and now the program is ohanged to two tioket by the citizens, there being representatives from each of the old line parties on both, and the proapeot is ripe for a hotly contested atrnggle for the majority of votes to be cast

Not Scared On the City Debt Issue.

Orator Honan, at the tic city o >u\euiii nd< voted his talk largely to denouncing the Republican city government GU BCOjUQI of the tolerably good siz -d city debt now existing and being y a>d off with all reasonable dispatch He took g o! care however no', to mention the Let, which he is well aware of, that we have the goods to show for the deb 1 ; and mighty good and useful goods too; and goods that Mr. Honan would miss as badly and more loudly tbar anyone if we didn’t have them And that reminds us how, a Lw years ago, at a democrat c ocuntt convention he sounded his sainekey note of ‘‘Republiciu extravagxn -e’’ in county affiirs, his text b. i ij. the debt incurred in building tin oourt hou-e —only in that case he forgoi to mention the oourt house just as iu his oily convention speech, he forgot to mention cui splendid city, water and light systems for which our oi*y debt war contracted. But the court house was there to speak for itself, and the people looked upon it, in its beautiful arolnteoture, its enduring construction, its perfection of convenience, and they beheld it was good and worth every cent it oost, and Borne more and they said unto themselves. “Behold, this Honan was surely talking to hear his head roar!” and his el quenoe returned to the winds that bore it, and the Republicans lost no vat* s on account thereof. And it is the same now wiih bis wasted eloquence over our city debt. The people know that out splendid, though necessarily expensive water-works system, was an absolute necessity to the safety f our property, and to the health and oornfort of our people; and that our excellent eleotrio light system is also ftn indispensibie necessity to our oornfort. They know too. that the original water plaut was installed, and the old private light plant acquired in a businesslike way, at a maximum of benefit for a minimum of oost; and that the urgently needed' re cent additions and improvements to the equipment of the systems, were male also in a wise and busi ness like way and with most excellent judgment, the strictest economy and an honesty aud fidelity that defies Orator Houau or Editor Baboock to show where a single dollar was dishonestly expended. Turn loose, gentlemen, on the city debt question. You are simply butting your alleged brains against a stone wall, and the wall oan’t be hurt any—and possibly not the brains.

Editor Griffin Explains.

Remington Press. Attorney J. E. Westfall, whose disappearance we commented on last week, returned to Remington M~nday, very indignant at the citizens in general and the Press editor in particular, for intimating hat bis disappearance simultaneously with a note for SSOO which nad been entrusted to him to deliver to another party, was any ooooern of the public or just grounds for suspicion, and to ease his wouudtd feelings we make haste to proc'aim that he brought back the SSOO note with him and we understand has turned it back to Mrs. Lewis. Now in justification of our remarks of last week a few facts may be of interest to those not,familiar with the circumstances. We were mistaken in saying he “left no intimation as to his destination.’’ as it now developes that he did leave word with a oertain party here that "in case anything developed here concerning him within a few days after be left, to telegraph him at 171 Russell street, Hammond, Ind.” A few days prior to his disappearance he broke up housekeeping, disposed of some of his household goods and stored the balance and informed the editor of this paper that bis motner who had been his housekeeper, had gone to live with her daughters until suoh time as he oonld find a new location. A search of his office disclosed the fact that he had disposed of nearly every book and pieoe of office furnit are except a set of books on which an Indianapolis firm holds a olaim for some $235. Tuesday morning Mis. Mary Lewis oame to our offioe very muoh excited and explained to ns that she bad entrusted Mr. Westfall with a SSOO note and also a oheok for $37.50 bcth of which were to be turned over to Rensseiier parties in payment of claims against her deoeas ed husband’s estate of which she is Administratrix and that she had that morning telephoned the parties at Rensselaer who replied that Mr. Westfall had not been in to seem them or made any settle* ment either with the above SSOO note or its proceeds, and stated to us that she was very muoh afraid i Mr. Westfall had planned to de-j fraud her out of the above amount.! As to to the “tangled condition of bis legal and financial business’’, we will simply say that he has ad-1 ded a few “knots” since his return, and there are still several skeins to be unwound. It pays to trade at Wm. Sohleman’fl.
