[STATE Nfws| Indianapolis.—Machinery of state departments was put in operation to carry out the provisions of the more important measures passed by the second special session of the general assembly. Post assembly developments in the statehouse included the following: 1. The reappointment of Jesse E. Eschbanch as state examiner of the board of accounts, from which he resigned July 12 to resume the speakership of the house of representatives. 2. Governor Goodrich signed three of the major acts passed by the assembly—the Johnson home rule tax act. the Tuthlll-Kiper curative tax act and the coal and food commission act. The governor also signed the state war memorial measure. 3. The coal and food commission was formally organized. The commission is composed s>f Mr. Eschbach. Governor Goodrich and Otto L. Klauss, auditor of state. Under the terms of the act the accounts board serve as the coal commission. 4. It became known that Charles Fox, president of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, would be appointed by Governor Goodrich as the fifth member of the state industrial board. The place has not been filled because of a lack of funds, but the legislature provided more funds for the board. 5. The state board 6 of tax commissioners began the preparation of 1919 assessment data to be certified to local taxing officials in accordance with the Tuthill-Kiper bill. B. After careful study of the curative tax bill the governor and the members of the tax board and other state officials were of the opinion that the measure will relieve the tax .mess effectually and that the net result of the application of the act will be the legalization of the horizontal increases in assessments in virtually every taxing unit in the state. At the meeting of the coal commission Mr. Eschbach was given full authority to administer the act and to employ a fuel director, counsel to the commission and other employees. Another meeting of the commission will be held to consider organization plans further. One of the first acts of this new department will be to compile a directory of all coal dealers, jobbers and operators in the state. Every dealer in coal will be required to obtain a license. The license fees are: Dealers. $5; wholesalers, $lO and operators, $25. There is also provided a tax of 1 cent a ton on all coal mined. Indianapolis.—The special session of the Indiana general assembly called by Gov. James P. Goodrich to consider emergency tax legislation and appropriation measures adjourned sine die. A total of 55 bills were acted upon favorably during the special session. The legislature has been in session since July 12. Final action was taken by both houses approving remedial legislation designed to meet the situation created by horizontal Increases made in 1919 assessments by the state tax board and later declared valid by the state superior court. The assembly also approved a home rule tax bill giving local taxing units authority over bond issues and tax levies, which has been held by the state tax board. The emergency appropriation measure passed during the second week of the session provided approximately $1,200,000 for the use of state institutions until September 30, the close of the present fiscal year. Another important measure passed provides for the construction by the state of a war memorial building to cost $2,000,000 on ground donated by the state on the North side in Indianapolis. The building will provide national headquarters for the American Legion. Richmond.—The amount due the treasury of Wayne county oil August 1 from the Farmer’s Banking company of Milton. now in the hands of a receiver, amounted to $17,551.58, on the checking accounts of the county maintained there. The county also holds two certificates of deposit of $5,000 each, it was learned. The checking account of the county funds at this bank amounted to $31,330.20 on May 31. The legal apportionment of the county’s funds, which the Milton bank could hold, was only SO,OOO. This large sum is partially accounted for by heavy collections of spring taxes in Washington township, amounting to $12,000. It was said that it was the Intention to check out the state’s share of the county funds on deposit in the Milton bank, late in May, but that this was deferred when Cashier Oscar M. Kirlin. who committed suicide, on July 1. requested that this money be kept there until after the harvest season. Following Kirlin’s suicide the bank was thrown into the hands of a receiver. Anderson. —Rev. P. W. Raidabaugh, age seventy-three, pastor of the Friends church at Anderson is dead of pneumonia At Entiat, a small town near Seattle, Wash., where he was stricken while on a mission to the Northwest for the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends. Brookville. —Jeannette Enos, age seventeen, daughter of Will 'Enos of Los Angeles, Cal., and Clara Gansert, age eighteen, of Brookville, were drowned in Whitewater river, a mile north of Cedar Grove, in Franklin county. They were members of an outing party. Anderson. —The quick action of Engineer Glpe of Cincinnati, 0., a trainman for the Pennsylvania railroad, saved the life of Mary Turner, two years old, a North Anderson baby, daughter of 11. H. Turner. The child wandered from its home and got on the track directly in the path of the Chicago-Cincinnati fast passenger train at Anderson. Engineer Gipe blew his whistle, but observved that the child did not move. He brought his train to a sudden stop with the pilot of the engine within a foot of the babe.

Michigan City.—William Ray, colored, who was convicted of murdering fourteen-year-old Martha Huff of Indianapolis April 20, was electrocuted in the state penitentiary at this place. •Rxa Hnff girl’s body, bearing 13 knife wounds, was found in Eagle Creek the day after she disappeared. Indianapolis.—Governor Goodrich signed the teachers’ salary bill and the measure compelling the establishment of the two-platoon system in fire departments of cities exceeding 15,000 population. Five other measures passed by the special session of the legislature were rejected. The rejected measures included the amendments to the county unit road law and. the amendment to the state highway commission law whereby contractors could collect 100 per cent of the estimated value of completed new work. Under the constitution Wednesday was the last day for executive action on bills passed by the special session. The teachers’ bill provides for an increase of approximately 30 per cent in salaries and establishes SBOO as the minimum that Can be paid to any teacher in Indiana. This measure was strenuously opposed by township trustees and farmers. Senator Oliver Kline of Huntington. chairman of the education committee in the upper house, fought the measure on the floor. He declared that trustees had already made their contracts for the coming school year and that they would not have sufficient funds to pay additional salaries. Aside from lack of revenue to pay salaries there was opposition to the measure because the minimum will tend to lengthen the terms of school in rural communities. This was one of the arguments urged against the bill before its passage. Senator Kline held that rural children should not be kept in school as long as city children because part of their education consists in learning how to work on the farm. The governor said that he signed the two-platoon bill with the understanding that the firemen will not oppose an amendment by the 1921 legislature extending the time for she act to take effect until July 1, 1921. Under the provisions of the act all cities of more than 15.000 population are -compelled to institute two platoons in their fire departments. Officials'of several cities told the governor that they will not have enough revenue to establish the new system by the first of the year, but that it could be accomplished by July. 1921, as they will be able to make a levy this year in anticipation of the new expense. Indianapolis.—-Ed Jackson, secretary of state, announced at Indianapolis the appointment of Maurice L. Mendenhall of Sheridan as chief securities clerk of the “blue sky” department, created by the “blue sky” act, passed by the special session of the- legislature. Miss Jennie Lamb of Delphi, employed in the automobile department of the secretary of state’s office, was appointed second assistant securities cferk. A tirst assistant will be appointed in a few days. Mr. Mendenhall will have charge of the department, subject to the supervision of the “blue sky” commission. composed of Mr. Jackson, the treasurer of state, and the attorney general. Mr. Mendenhall will come to Indianapolis within the next few days to complete plans for starting the work of the department when the law goes into effect. The “blue sky” measure did not contain an emergency clause, and consequently will take the regular course before becoming effective. It will be about October 1. Mr. Jackson ’has announced, before the regular bills will become effective. Mr. Mendenhall will order the blanks required by the bill to he filled out by the firms coming under the provisions of the bill. Mr. Mendenhall will receive a salary of $3,000 a year. ‘Miss Lamb will receive $1,500 annually. The first assistant clerk’s salary is sl.800. Mr. Mendenhall is a former service man and a member of the American Legion. He formerly was prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county and is a leading Republican of the Ninth district. Jesse Eschbach, chairman of the food and coal commission, has announced the appolhtment of Edward Farmer of Bloomington as head of the accounting department of the commission.

( Richmond. —The one hundredth annual session of Indiana Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends, the largest body of Quakers in the world, opened at Richmond August 9, at Earlham college, west of Richmohd, and will continue until the afternoon of Saturday, August 14. By reason of action taken at the session last year, the deliberations of Indiana Yearly Meeting come more than a month earlier than ever before. The change of the meeting place from East Main Street Friends church to Earlham college also is a departure from the custom of the organization. Indianapolis. —The board of directors and officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ Associations held a two-day conference in this city at which John G. Brown of Monon, president, presided. Marketing and acute transportation problems along with the advisability of establishing a bureau of markets for the state organization were the chief business before the board.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. : An examining physician for one of ths prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the — large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this ereat preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. M hen writing be sure and mention this paper.—Adv. REAL REASON FOR HIS TEARS Teacher Flattered Herself That Youngster Was Crying Because She Was Leaving Them. The graduating class of a Terre Haute school gave the teacher a parting gift. During the speech she made acknowledging the gift she noticed that one boy was weeping. Then sfie told how touched she was by the emotion displayed by this boy. “What greater tribute coulfl a teacher have than to have a child cry because he was leaving her?” she later asked the class. One of the other boys remained after the others had left. “Miss N he confided, “you thought Jim was crying because he was going to leave you, but he wasn't. It was because that was going to be the last time tie would see that present. 1 had the hardest time to get his 50 cents toward it out of him I ever had getting anything.

He was so miserly that the girl's family twitted her much about it. In desperation one night she decided to give him a very strong hint that she would like to have him occasionally buy her a box of candy. They were standing in front of a drug store window, which was filled with boxes of candy. The girl looked at them a minute antfsaid archly, “Do you know that there is a kiss at the bottom of one of those boxes?” f The thrifty young man looked at them. “Well, some day when I have plenty of time,” he said, “I’ll go in ami look under one to see if I can find any.” A single application of Roman Eye Balsam on going to bed will prove its merit. Use It for inflammations of the Eyes.—Adv. Double Meaning. Dr. Alonzo Ethelbert Watkins, the memory expert of Chicago, said the other day in an address: “Another way to cultivate the memory is by pictures—by the pictorial method, as we call it. For instance, suppose you want to remember the poet, Robert Burns. Well, then, you picture to yourself a policeman in flames. Bobby Burns, see? Ha, ha, ha I” “Doctor, a question!” yelled a man in the gallery. “Well what is it?” asked the memory expert. » “How are me to know,” yelled the galleryite, “that your picture doesn’t repitsent Robert Browning?”
