BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
FOUR OF THE COUNTY CONVICTS
ESCAPE YESTERDAY.

For some days Mr.. A. j. Bell has had
eight of the county convicts at work on
the Manor road. Yesterday morning,
while he was marching them from the Jail
out to the place of work, and just as he
got over into the neighborhood of the
blind asylum, they made
DASH FOR LIBERTY,
and four of the gang succeeded in getting
away. The names of those escaping are
w. Hendricks, Mexican, Charley Cook,
colored; Ed Buris and Charley Carter.
Should the police or any other officer run
afoul of either of the above jail birds,
they will confer a favor by promptly
scooping them in, as their services are
needed on the county roads.

To bear in mind that one Benson's Capcine Plaster
is worth dozen Of any other porous plaster. Ben
sons pasters are genuine medicinal article, en-
dorsed and used by the medical profession from
Maine to California. They cure In few hours
ailments which no others will even relieve. Cheap
and worthless limitations are sold by dealers who
care more for large profits on trash than they do
for the sweets of an approving conscience. Beware
of them, and of the "Capucn," "Capsicin, IS Soap
sicine' and "Capsicum'' plasters which they sell
to the unwary, These names are nothing but mis-
leading variations on the name "Capcine." Note
the difference, 20 TO respectable druggists and you
will not be deceived The genuine Bensons has
the 'sThree Seals" trademark and the word Soap
cine'' cut In the center.

the would-be husbands parents should be
had. likewise excuseless is any man in
our time who makes lifelong alliances
with any one who, because of her DISPOSE
ton, or heredity, or habits, or intellectual
vacuHy, or moral classification NAV be
said to be of the Philistines." This was
his premise. Said he: I'm the best part
of us, the affections and emotions, woman
is seventy five per cent. mans superior.
During the twenty years of increased
opportunity for female education the
women of the country had become better
educated than the majority of the men,
and if they continued at the present rate
of progress, before long the majority of
men would have difficulty in finding in
the opposite sex enough ignorance to
make appropriate consort. There were
too many wrecks on the sea of matrimony
to attempt to go without Divine guidance"
And here he strikes out unsparingly at
the sex: Especially is devout supplica-
ton needed, because of the artificialities
that deceive men and of which no one but
the Lord knows. That is what makes so
many recreant husbands. They enter into
an honorable contract. The goods de-
livered are different from the sample, and
feeling themselves swindled they back
OUT
PICKING OUT A HUSBAND.
In this lecture, DR.. Talmage atones for
his above ungallant references (provided
our artist has rightly interpreted his
meaning) and he asks women to go slow
and to be never so cautious as when "pick-
ing out husband" Statistics show that
in Massachusetts and New York state
women have majority of hundreds of
thousands. 1t would seem that woman is
a favorite with the Lord, and that there
fore he has made more of that kind.
Avoid Alliance with despiser of the
Christian religion. Do not unite in mar
riage with a man of bad habits in the idea
of reforming him. If, now, under the
restraint of your present acquaintance he
will not give up his bad habits, after he
has won the prize you cannot ex-
pect him to do so. Let him re-
form first, and then give him time
to see whether or not the reform
is to be permanent. Let him understand
that if he cannot do without his bad habits
for two years he must do without you for
ever. "a woman had better live a lonely
life thousand years than be annexed to
one of the modern vultures with which

OWNERSHIP OF THE CANAL BED.
APrOtest Against Paying Taxes on Land Be-
longing to the State Government

The indianapolis Water Company has asked
the County Commissioners to refund 1920 taxes
on property that has been the subject of inter-
esting litigation. Before the present company,
in 1881, purchased at sheriff's sale under de-
cree of foreclosure the property and franchise of
the Water-works Company, of Indianapolis, the
Indiana canal bed, within certain limits owned
by the preceding company, had been sold to the
Indianapolis, Cincinnati. st. Louis & Chicago
Railway Company good portion of this canal
had been filled up and used for street and other
purposes. On account of this abandonment the
title of the cana. bed was disputed until the
United States Supreme Court decided, in the suit
of Kennedy VS.. The City, that the ownership of
the property reverted to abutting landowners.
Since then the Indianapolis Wa
ter Company has exercised no
right or title to the canal bed south of Market
street But the taxable value has been assessed
in its name and the company continued to pay
the taxes. The greater part of Military Park
also was once claimed by the State and the
water company, but in January, 1879, in the
Hendricks Circuit Court. it was decreed that the
State should have the title TO the east half of
this land. The whole tract, however, for taxa
bic charges was put in the name of the company.
The taxes have been paid by the latter. Now it is
desired that the County Commissioners shall re-
fund the amounts paid by the company on the
States portion of the land.

them by the absence of guard for the day. His

Another case illustrating the inehiciency of
the reform administration in the postal service
is reported. On the 18th of July, Judge Ayres
called at the Office of J. S. Lambert of the Gen.
trail Insurance Company, telling him that he
would mail him check for his insurance that
afternoon, and that he would leave the city the
next day, to be absent for some time. Days
passed without Mr.. Lambert receiving the
check, and he thought nothing strange
of it. as it is understood that the
address of every letter must be carefully
scrutinized before allowing it to leave the
Office letters being thus delayed for few days.
Sixteen days after being mailed the envelope
containing the check was handed Mr.. Lambert
by mailcarrier The envelope bore the post
stamp of July 81 and was delivered the 10Th of
July. Mr. Lambert is not disposed to find fault.
