Former Resident Visits Here and Recalls War Time Incident.

John Ward, the blacksmith, is receiving a visit from his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Ward, who came Thursday from their home at Stockwell. Mr. Ward served through the civil war as a member of the 12th Indiana cavalry regiment, and was a bunk mate of Nathan Eldridge, of Barkley township, with whom he will spend a day while here. Sixty years ago Mr. Ward lived In Jasper county, and he has been here but once during the intervening time, that being about forty-five years ago, when he was home on a furlough, and was sent to this county to help bale some hay that the government had bought of Tqm Spitler. All the hands boarded at Spitler’s and Mr. Ward pays he will never forget the novel loving cup with which their host served them some ’’toddy.” From here Mr. and Mrs. Ward will go to Monticello and visit friends there and at Lafayette before returning to Stockwell.

Hubby Was the Baby and Hubby Wasn’t Sick.

A new was recently worked at Rushville/ which is described as follows by the RuShville Republican: “Lady, won’t you please give me a little something to help my sick baby. We are from Kentucky and we are without funds. My poor,Jittle darling is sick and starving to death.” This was the plea a fairly well dressed woman made to several housewives in the northeast part of the city this morning. She talked between sobs and her story was pathetic. Sympathetic mothers could not resist the heart rending plea of another mother in distress, and provisions were given. One woman gave a half peck of potatoes, although she did not exactly see how they could help a sick baby. The Stranger in distress also asked for corn—another good food for sick babies. But nevertheless the provisions were forthcoming. The husband of one of the sympathetic mothers followed the stranger down town. Near the business section she was joined by several others, all carrying provisions. He followed them until they went behind the jail. Soon several wagons drove out. The women were in them, and the “sick babies” were driving. The husband of the sympathetic mother wanted to get his potatoes back, but he thought the nine “sick babies” looked a little too big for him to handle.

Monon To Run Trains Through To Evansville.

A dispatch from Evansville says: Information Is at hand that the Monon will enter this city over the Southern railroad’s tracks from French Lick, Ind. Little construction work will be necessary except on the terminals in this city. For four years H. Hulman, wholesale grocer of Terre Haute, has been acquiring in small parcels the three blocks of property at Main and Division streets. At first it was thought Mr. Hulman was acting for John R. Walsh. After the Chicago banker’s failure Hulman continued to buy, however, and on a scale whieh showed to judicious observers here that he was acting as an agent and not for himself. Now it develops the Hulman purchases have been made for the Monon terminals. They lie adjoining the Union track on both sides of Main street and within a stone’s throw of the present Southern freight yards. The coming of the Monon is held to mean a break between the Louisville & Nashville and the Evansville & Terre Haute and Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroads, which have worked in friendly relations for years, and the making of a new alliance between the L. & N. and the Monon. Since it is currently understood that the L. & N. and the Southern control the Monon, the new alliance foreshadows a continuous lake-to-the-gulf line under

one ownership. Activity on the improvement and strengthening of the north-and-south lines has been particularly manifest in the last two years in expectation of a largely increased business to follow the opening of the Panama canal. Harriman is believed to have been looking forward to the canal when he authorized the concentration of all the Illinois Central forces on the southern half of that system. The Moore brothers and their associates in the Rock Island-Frlsco system were not behind hand and had plans ready for an extension of the E. & T. H. south from this city to connect with a gulf line at Jackson, Tenn. To protect itself against the invasion of its territory which such an extension of the E. & T. H. would bring and to insure the retention of its business north of the Ohio, the L. & N. is now seeking to get another inlet to Chicago. By bringing the Monon to Evansville the interests backing that line will be able to control the business to and from the Ohio river which the projectors of the defunct Chicago, Indianapolis & Evansville railroad were looking forward to when they constructed a line on paper. With the canalization of the Ohio into an all-the-year waterway for heavy freight, shipments by water will Increase ita volume. It was learned tonight that the L. & N. and the Monon are working jointly now on the plans for the latter’s entry and it is probable that all arrangements will be completed before the winter passes.

There Is a Big Surplus Of School Teachers.

Indianapolis, Aug. 25. —Unless the number of schools in Indiana increases remarkably in the near future, or unless the number of eligible teachers without schools decreases, there is little likelihood of any easier examinations for licenses than those , given last month by the state board of education, according to a statement made yesterday in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction. Indiana is overstocked with teachers; schools are normal in number.

When' the question of the recent examinations became known through the state there was an outcry. Special criticism was turned on the questions in history, arithmetic and literature, which were declared to be unreasonably hard. The results of the examination are now being formulated in the office of the superintendent of public instruction. While the final results have not been determined, the number which passed is about onehalf of the number which took the examination. The average throughout the year of successful applicants is about 60 per cent. The failures were largely in the subjects complained of.

At the present time there are about one hundred applications from holders of teachers’ licenses for positions oh file in the office of Dr. R. J. Aley, the state superintendent, without a vestige of the unsupplied school. A local teachers’ agency has about ten applicants to one position, with college graduates searching unsuccessfully for places. There is room, however, for a few men, for the supply is almost entirely composed of women. The reason for the larger number of teachers is laid to the recent law which raised the standard of wages paid. Where formerly the township trustee was at liberty to pay what he could afford, the minimum allowed by law is $2.12% a day. The effect of the financial depression of 1908 has been to send many women out to work for a living who were being supported at home. As soon as the work of visiting thh county institutes is finished Dr. Aley will devote his attention to preparing exact, statistics on the number of teachers and the number of places in the state with an effort to find the real reasons for the discrepancy of teachers and positions. Dr. Aley will speak this week at Auburn, Ft. Wayne, Warsaw, Plymouth, Crown Point, Danville, Greensubrg, Newcastle, Richmond, Liberty and Connersville. E. G. Bunnell, the assistant superintendent, will also give his entire week to visiting county institutes. Down goes the price on the best flour made. “Aristos” and “Gem of the Valley." Only $1.50 a sack.
