MCCONNELL MAKES A KIT

I*re»i<lent-eleet of Ilel'niiu i niversily Addressee a .hdnt Session of Senat<* and House of Representatives.

GIVEN AN OVATION AFTERWARD

President Francis .1. McConnell, of DePauw University, made a hit in his address before the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives in the State House at Indianapolis Friday. The address was upon the subject of “The Honesty of Lincoln” and the large audience consisting of state senators, representatives, state officials and their friends listened with the greatest interest for more than an hour to the thoughtful and beautiful discussion of the character of one of the world’s greatest men. That he pleased all is shown by the applause, abundant throughout the address, and by the enthusiasm that amounted to an ovation at the close. Many were heard to declare that it was a magnificent effort. President McConnell reached Indianapolis from Ohio Wesleyan University, where he spoke on the night of the 11th, at noon. He was met at the station by Mr. VanArsdel and taken to the Claypool, where a committee from the Senate met him and '■onducted him to the Hall of Representatives. The address was late in beginning, and President McConnell hastened through, concluding it in little more than an hour. He returned at once to the East, leaving on a midnight train, after spending the earlier part of the evening at the

We have it from a thoroughly reliable source that the Vandalia Railroad Company has decided to make the improvement in double tracking their line east of this city this coming spring, summer and fall. This double tracking means more than the statement would indicate. It means that from a short distance east of Harmony the road will construct an entirely new roadbed which will evade the Reelsville hills and curves, going quite a distance south of Reelsville and changing the entire route of the road from Harmony to Greencastle. The heaviest work will be done between Harmony and the river, where, for almost a mile there will be a (ill of an average height of seventy-five feet. Greencastle will get nearly all of the benefits of tiiis work because of it being the supply point for this section of the country and also the best available market. The improvement mentioned will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and several hundred men will be given employment, most of whom will probably be brought here. It means that hundreds of thousands o{ dollars will he spent here in our midst.

IS A PAYING BUSINESS

NEW CHANGE BENEFITS FABMEBS

According to the census report for 1S90, the Adams Express Co., then capitalized for $12,000,000, had an actual investment in equipment of $1,128,195. For years it paid 8 per cent on its capital stock, equal to 80 per cent on the actual value of property actually used in its business. In 1908 it distributed $12 000,000 of its own bonds to its stockholders, secured by the deposit in trust of the surplus fund not used in its express business, and reduced its dividend rate to 4 per cent. By 1904 the dividend rate had increased to $10 per share (10 per cent) in addition to which each stockholder was receiving 4 per cent interest on an equal amount of bonds which he had received without paying therefor. In 1907, $24,000,000 additional was distributed to stockholders in the form of bonds secured by the constantly increasing surplus. It Unis appears that the rates exacted from the public by the Adams Express Company have not only sufficed to pay a liberal return upon the capital actually used in the business, but also of late to pay 10 per cent upon several times that amount in stock, and in addition to accumulate a surplus of $36,000,000 available for distribution to stockholders, of which $24,000,000 seems to have been ’accumulated within a period of nine years.

PUBLIC DEBT IS GROWING

Monthly Treasury Statement Shows I “resent Condition of Nation’s Finances.

A great deal of speculation is going on among the grain and hay dealers throughout the country concerning the recent order issued by the commission in Indiana for an interchange of freight rates between the steam railroads and interurbans, and which is now in effect at Winona. As yet the interurbans have not been used for grain or other market shipments, but they could easily be used for the purpose by installing specially built cars and a few additional sidings in the small towns along the lines. This would be of great benefit to dealers, as a lower freight rate could be obtained not only throughout the state but to the eat, which would he a strong feature of defense for western dealers against the eastern market men, who have long opposed the lower rate on steam roads. Already in the east an attempt is being made to install grain cars on an interurban system. The Hay Trade Journal, a New York State publication, has the following to say concerning the interurban grain and hay cars: "The railroads have been relegated to a back seat for passenger traffic for local business wherever interurban car lines are established. Again the interurbans are equipping for express and they get the local business. Now for grain cars. Imagine if you will an interurban line equipped with grain cars and and having sidetracks at convenient country stations. The farmers could telephone for a grain car and have it on the siding on short notice. The car could deliver to the mill and unload the same as wagons. As a means of transporting wheat the interurban is a promising adjunct to the business of the country mills and their proposed use on one line is no doubt the forerunner for a general equipping of interurban lines with this convenience.” -

As was announced by the postoffice authorities some time ago, the new special Lincoln two-cent stamp was put on sale at the local postofflee alst Friday. The stamp is issued in honor of the Centennial of Lincoln’s birth. Only a limited supply of these stamps have been issued and only a comparative!;, few are on hand at the local office. It is also elated that the new Washington two-cent stamp, which has created so much talk among the statesmen, will be put on sale here early next week and thus Greencastle will be flooded with the new postage. This new stamp shows a side view instead of a front view of the head of Washington and is a much handsomer stamp than the former ones. The color has been shaded off just a little and the profile makes a much better portrait. This new Washington stamp has created much criticism because it is not up to the unwritten international law which has hitherto been strictly observed. It has no numerical figures on its face and the only value, which is given is printed “two-cents” This fact is causing much trouble among the foreigners who have been accustomed to telling the value of the stamps by the numerals and the foreign postal employes are creating some ado over the fact that if all of our stamps are printed similar to this issue, the foreign postofflee employes will have to learn our language.

NEWS OF POLICE COURT

C. H. Baldwin, a circulation solicitor of the Indianapolis Star, was arrested Thursday for intoxication and this morning was before the Mayor. He pleaded guilty and was fined $11. Baldwin did not have the money with which to pay his fine and so went to jail. Baldwin came here with a partner, who also is soliciting for the Star, and they were stopping at the Blake Hotel. The partner could not be found Friday morning but Baldwin hoped to locate him and get him to stay or pay his fine before evening. Irving Emmons, aged 17. and Clyde Cox, 16, who claim to live near Bedford, were arrested at the electric light plant Thursday and placed jail. The police believe that the boys are “runaways” and will investigate before releasing them. This morning the boys were before the Mayor. The charge against them is vagrancy. The lads pleaded not guilty to the charge and were sent back to jail to await trial. If the investigation of the police does not show that the boys are wanted as runaways they probably will be released without trial.

DEATH OF ED HIBBITT

The death of Ed. Hibbitt, one of Greencastle's most popular and substantial pioneer business men occurred Thursday afternoon at his home on Locust Street. Mr. Hibbitt was 78 years old. General diabijity and old age were the causes of his death. Mr. Hibbitt had been ill for several weeks. He leaves one daughter and three sons.

TO KILL OFF THE CROWS

Representative Brown's bill to provide a bounty for crows’ heads wit3 inspired by the farmers of White : ounty, he said, whose activities durli the early corn-growing season ai.* divided between caring for the tender shoots and frightening away tho dusky marauders that settle down upon the fields by tens of thousands and feed on the green blades. His measure provides that hoards of county commissioners may offer a bounty of not to exceed 10 cents a head for crows killed, the bounty being optional with the boards. “In our northern counties,” said Hi >wn, “the loss among the farmers from crows amounts to thousands of dollars annually. They feel in White County, at leaet, that they can well afford to pay the increase in taxes if an increase is necessary to provide for the bounty money."

The maple syrup this year ought 1 to he pure, and if it Is not then it will be up to the syrup maker to h ake good. Tills is because the I sirup comes under the pure food law and that means that it has to pass mutter. In past years there has been a whole lot of maple syrup that has never seen a maple tree, and some of it has proven near worthless. The genuine is worth all that is asked for it, and should be genuine. There is a penalty for the adulteration of the stuff and the Pure Food Department has a number of men on the outlook for It.
