An OLD ACQUaISrANCE.
Favorite, Bobs Up IN Wheeling.
West Virginia.

The old friend Of Indianapolis Madam
Dursnd, comes to the front again. This
time in Wheeling, W. Va. It Will no doubt
be remembered that the Madam started a
millinery establishment in this city about
one year ago, and the sad story Of how one
Gay the silently slipped away like O SUI

in TIE Sentinel. A dispatch from Wheeling,

GOVERNOS PORTER ON SAFES,
VAULTS, LOCKS, KEYS, ETC.

The Legislature of the State of Indiana, as
Jar bach as 1853 enacted a law relating to the
safe-keeping OF the public funds, which has
never been put into exscu ion By Governor
P0rter's predecessors in the Gubernato:isl
chair. Governors Morton, Baker, Hendricks
and Williams never deemed il to be their
duiy to take special notice OF the statute re-
lstiDg to burglar and fre-proof safes and
vaults, locks and keys. Why? Simply be-
cause hitherto, and up to the present, an
absolutely burglar and Gre-proof safe and
vault has not been constructed. Burglars
and fire, acting in concert
or separately, have been able 20 get into
safes and vaults ostensibly fire and burglar
proof. Governor Porter is clearly of the
opinion that such safes and vaults can not
be constructed, and that after sill is done that
science and skill can devise and execute, al
soluie safety for large sums of money depos-
tied In such safes depends upon an efficient
guard of men, and in support of his views
cites the condition OF things In Washington,
where trusty guard is always on hand. aud
where in times Of commotion large military
guard Is at once summoned. And Governor
Porter further holds that il the State
were to provide nominally
fire end burglar proof safe with the most
improved locks and keys the Treasurer Of
State would not be justified in keeping q
large sum Of money in such q place Of de-
posit
IL is emineDtly worthy Of remark. in this
connection, that should the Treasurer Of
State place q large amount OF money in such
. vault or safe, and il should be broken into
and robbed. he and his bondsmen would be
liable, and Ii may be said that il IL could be
known that the unexpended money belong
ing to the State was deposited in such
q safe. cracksmen from the inter.
most parts of the earth would
be likely to visit indianapolis for the pur-
pose of making financial raid aud raise.
Governor Porter has been In Office about
three years and during one term Of Repub-
licsn State Treasurer, but the records do not
show that he at any time permitted the
statute Of 1859, referred to, TO disturb the
serenity OF his mind or cause him to lose as
much ss one minute Of sweet and refreshing
sleep. Until within few days he has never
referred to the statute of 1859. While a Re-
publican Official had charge Of the States
cash Governor Porter looked on with q
silence Is profound as that which distin-
guisbed his illustrious predecessors, whose
nemes We have given. All this is now
changed. The people are aware that State
House Is in process Of construction. and that
= cssh vault is being built which il to be as
near fire and burglar proof al II is possible b
construct such repository. But the purpose
now seems to be to rig up f,r the use Of the
State another fire aud burglar proof safe, and
this Is to be done in q building which Is
known to be neither fire nor burglar proof

Accounting for the Surplus

In the United States, Government does ITS
work OF taxation thoroughly; every citizen is
literally clothed In taxation, cap-s-pie, from
head 10 foot. Hat and loot are taxed, md no
garment between escapes. whether of wool or
cotton, OF fsx or silk. Taxation covers the
bsck, fills the belly and chains the limbs
what We wear, what We eat what we work
with. Taxation begins In the cradle, and does
not end in the grave, for even the tombstone
is not spared. The body Is wrapped in taxed
flannel, and the body laid out In taxed linen.
From the mothers womb 10 the womb of the
earth taxes pursue the sons of men, ADD pur-
sue not in vain, for they oyertake and de-
spoil them. We, especially, have taxes, di-
rect and. indirect; ept cific. adyalorem and com
pound, taxes known and unknown, State tax
rs and County, municipal and cDrpo alton
taxes finally, to crown all, federal taxes
Last Of ell came Satan. AS there IL n time
for everything under the sun. 30 Zoe any and
everything under the sun there is also tax.

The Great Salt Lake

Four barrels of water of the Great
Salt Lake will leave, after evapora-
ton, nearly a barrel of salt. The
lake was discovered in the year 1920.
and no outlet from it has vet been
ascertained Four or five large
streams empty into it, and the fact of
its still retaining it's saline properties
seems to point to the conclusion, that
there exists some secret bed of saline
deposit over which its waters flow.
and that thus they continue salt; for.
although, the lake may be but the
residue of an immense sea which
once covered the whole of this region.
yet, by it's continuing so salt with the
amount of fresh water poured into it
constantly, the idea of the existence
of some such deposit from which
itEreceives its supply seems very prob
able
For many years the lake gradually
rose, but IN 1870 it receded some two or
three feet-a most unusual occurrence
owing to the exceptionally warm
summer.
There are no fish in the lake. but
myriads of small flies cover its sur
face. The buoyancy of the water is
SO great that it is not at all an easy
matter to drown in it. The entire
length of Salt Lake is eightv-fve
miles, and its breadth forty-fve miles.
Compared with the Dead Sea. the
Great Salt Lake is longer by forty
three miles, and broader by thirty
five.
