The Indiana Girl.

You may search the towns and cities
On the wide Atlantic's shore,
You can go where you can listen
To Niagara's deafening roar,
You may roam the plains of Kansas
Where the cyclones n1ady whirl
But you'll find there is none better
Than the Indiana girl.
She has head upon her shoulders,
And she knows just what she's worth;
Though she wants what is sufficient
Still she doesn't want the earth,
But if she dress in fashion.
Wear hustle, bangs and curls,
She'll be just about happy
As the most of other girls.
Should she be farmers daughter,
If they've any kind of luck,
And raise lots of corn ard taters,
And right smart of garden truck,
Then with joy her eyes will glistep
And she will show her teeth like pearls,
For she il git some fancy fxings,
just the same as other girls.
She can get heap of learning
If she only has a chance.
She attends fair or circus
Just to see the hcsses pranca.
And for making all things lively.
To make them hum and whirl,
You can bet your bottom dollar
On the Indiana girl
You may boast of all the ladies'
That are seen in foreign lands.
OF their rank and of their titles,
And their ancestry so grand,
But you'll never find. never,
AS you journey through the world
Such a darling, such daisy,
AS the Indiana girl.

and indignation in behalf of humanity. The

curse of such water is not only avoidable. as it
is everywhere else; il is there man,festly and
VIGOROUSLY avoidable that the poor excuse of
ignorance is unavailable. the hotels. laundries
and manufactures of the CITY have
long been public witnesses to the prac-
tcability of converting the Ohio river,

enough for them to have established, without
haste. a purifying system that would have
saved the lives of the hundreds that are now
dying there of Ohio river water.

The Disease Among Indiana Cattle,


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals:
The false report of the presence of contagious
pleuro pneumonia among the cattle in Henry

citement, not only in that vicinity, but through
outoseveral adjoining counties, which might re-
suit 10 great damage to owners and breeders If
not corrected, leads me to ask in their In terest
space in our paper for the following report
made by me TO the secretary of the Henry coun-
ty Board Of Health. In this case portions of the
lungs were sent to Professor Salmon, OF the
Bureau of Animal Industries. Washington, D.

CAPITAL BUDGET.
Major AnstettS Board Bill Investigated
The Ways and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Maior c. NJ.
Ansteut, special agent of the treasury
department, who selected the site for a
public building in Binghampton, n. Y,
was examined this morning, at his own
request, by the special committee of the
senate, in respect TO the statement brought
New York that Anstett's hotel
bills were paid by Mr.. Abel Ben
nett, one of the owners of the
site selected by Mr.. Anstett. Witness
stated with emphasis that he was not
bribed in any way TO make the selection
he did and asserted that the treasury de-
partment authorities were well satisfied
with the selection. He said he was accom-
panied to Binghampton by Mr.. Truman,
of the internal revenue bureau, and being
short of money he requested Mr.. Truman
to pay his hotel bill. Mr.. Truman, wit
ness said, had an open account with Mr..
Bennett, the part owner Of the site, and
had requested Mr.. Bennett to pay
the bill and charge it to
Truman. Witness said he had reim-
bursed Truman afterward. He. however,
submitted an affidavit from Mr.. Bennett,
to the effect that he (Bennett) paid the
bill and told Truman not to let Mr.. An
stett know who paid it.
On cross examination Senator Spooner
brought out an admission that witness
wrote letter TO the Free Press of Easton,
Pa, his home, in which he admitted that
Mr.. Bennett paid his hotel bill. and ex-
pressed a passing wish that he would pay
some other of witness outstanding obliga-
lions. The letter was written subsequent
to the time that the witness claimed to
have reimbursed Mr.. Thurman The
committee will look further into the mat
ter. Secretary Fairchild was also exam
ined at his own request in respect to the
developments made by the committee
when in New York.

The Democratic members of the ways

suance of the effort TO abridge
the five minute debate on the
tariff bill. Taking advantage of the de-
sire of number of the Republicans TO
have the consideration of the bill sus-
pended long enough To allow them to at
tend the Chicago convention, the Demo
Gratis offered 10 consent to the postpone
ment if, on their part, the Republicans
would agree TO take a final vote on the bill
al fixed date. As indicative of their
Willingness TO allow the fullest debate the
Democrats offered to let their opponents
set the date themselves. But the
consultation and the tender came TO
naught for the reason as set by one of
the mem berS of the committee that the
Republicans could not agree among them
selves. The Democrats. however. have
not abandoned the hope of the acceptance
of some such proposition particularly when
they have succeeded in convincing the
Republicans of their purpose TO pass the
bill, or nj least 10 have final vote upon
it. even If it should become necessary to

My Dear Sir:-Referring to your note of

road company, and after some delay in
examining the merits of the undertaking,
and reaching the conclusion that 1t was q
good enterprise. have accepted the
position. | believe that the company will
have no serious difficulty in raising funds
for the completion of their line of railroad
across the state of Ohio, eastward to
the Pennsylvania line, near Youngstown,
and westward through Indiana as far as

line of road shall form part of the long
projected American Midland railway from
New York to Chicago on or near the forty

has been done in various places, and until
such through connection shall be COM
pleted the New York, Mahoning & West

try, will have choice of numerous connec-
tons for both eastern and western traffic.

EMPEROR FREDERICK WORSE.
a NEW CANDIDATE.

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-The Press to-
morrow will say:
THE movement to present Mayor II.
Fatler as the Pennsylvania candidate for
the Republican presidential nomination,
yesterday assumed the most significant
character. 1t took such shape as
to justify the expectation that he
will receive the support of a
majority of the delegation of the state and
perhaps the whole. The Philadelphia
delegates had already declared for the
mayor, and yesterday Colonel Quay, while
still indicating that he would go to Sena-
tor Sherman in the end, announced that he
would vote for Mayor Fatler at the outset.
and advised the delegates from the state to
do so. This points to substantial una
nimity for the mayor.
