was appointed consul 10 Tahiti. The Califor.

him severely smitten by a native princess and

THE INDIANA GEOGRAPHY.
1Iisstatements in the Interest of the Trust
Corrected by Mr.. Hawkins.


Mr.. Edward Hawkins, the indianapolis men,
Der of the Indiana school book company, was
questioned this morning about the charge that
his company had attempted to mislead the
board of education into supposing that it
would supply Buffers geography under its
contract.
I'VE have been too busy arranging to supply
the schools throughout the state with the new
books" said Mr.. Hawkins, ito pay any atten-
ton TO the many false statements made in the
interest of the trust. The allegations of the
Journal concerning the geography are utterly
untrue. There is absolutely no foundation for
them. In an interview in the NetcS the other
evening State Librarion Dunn pointed
out some of the many serious defects in But
ler's geography. The next morning the Jour
nal repubished his criticisms with the statement
that this was the geography to be supplied by
our company. Now it says that ours is not the
Butler geography, but intimates that we Jug
gled with the Butler in an effort to make the
school book commissioners believe that il was
the one they would get. As to this will sim
ply say that we have not proceeded upon the
assumption that the members of the state
board of education were fools, as the Journal
article would imply. Even If Mr.. Collett Mr..
Heilman and the rest of the company were
capable of resortlng TO such disreputable
methods as the journal accuses them of, they
would certainly not attempt such transparent
trickery with men like Gov. Hoyey. Profs.
Jordan and Parsons and Supts. La Toilette
Lane, Jones and Wiley.
"All that the journal says about the Butler
geography, in connection with our company, is
false. No agent for that book ever presenter
its merits TO us. We never considered the
idea OF furnishing it. | never at any time or
place gave any reporter to understand that we
would furnish il. / never saw a copy of the
Butler geography until the second or third day
of the last session OF the board, after the con-
tract was awarded US, and when we were ar
ranging about the special Indiana chapters in
our geography. At that time Buffers and
other Biographies in the collection of school
books at the state superintendent Office
were examined by the committee in my
presence. This was when | first saw a
copy of Buffers geography. 1t was handed
me by Prof. Parsons. All the statements of
the Journal on this subject are sheer inven-
tons without the faintest shadow of founda-
ton. Sunday morning, when il said that the
Butler book was one OF our series, the journal
denounced that work as an inferior one Now,
when it admits that the Butler is not in our
series, the Journal praises it. The public can
see from this how little reliance is to be placed
in anything the journal may say about the new
books.
"The journal by the way says the author of
our geography is a lady teacher in Minnesota.
The author is Prof Sanford Niles, one Of the
most eminent educators in Minnesota. He
will be greatly surprised to hear that he is a
lady teacher"

THEY'RE AN UNHAPPY FAMILY.
A Young Girl Soon Tires of Her Aged Blu
Wealthy Husband.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 24-An unhappy
family left the city Monday night for St. Louis,
whence they will proceed to Kentucky, the
home of the husbands relatives. All day
Monday man about forty years old kept close
guard at the Union depot over young girl
whom subsequent developments proved to be
his wife. The girl was not more than sixteen
years of age and wept continually. At one
time in the afternoon, while the vigilance Of her
guardian was relaxed, she escaped from the
depot, but was soon hunted up and brought back.
Accompanying the ill-assorted pair were four
small children, colored waiting woman and a
pet monkey Two OF the children were the
children of a man by former wife. Accord
ing to the story OF the middle-aged stranger,
which was corroborated by other members of
the family, he was married to the girl three
weeks ago in San Francisco. The day after
the marriage the new bride ran away pawning
diamonds, which were a wedding present and
cost 81 O00 for s. in cash, in order to escape
from the presence of the man she had dscOv-
cred too late she did not love. The girl was
caught and has since been under constant sur
veillance. The stranger was well supplied
with money and showed 8 coo in gold coin
and large rolls of bank notes. He said that he
had just closed out q patent right for $4,000 in
San Francisco.

An Old soldier shabbnr Treated.
[Washington Special


Capt J. W. Hilligass of Anderson, Ind. late
chief OF the eastern division in the pension
bureau, who was reduced TO the rank OF special
examiner in the field and ordered to GAINESVILLE
last week, and was removed in two days after
his arrival there, mention of which was made
in these dispatches, makes statement to cor.
rect some inaccuracies into which a number OF
newspapers have fallen. The claim of Capt.
Hillicass for an increase of his pension was
pending prior TO March I, 1889, and should
have been allowed before the incoming OF the
present administration. When the claim was
settled the captain did not get $1,000, as stated
in print, but only $50. 1t was unfortunate for
him that he realized at the time he did, because
it gave a handle 10 enemies to attack him, but
be was, of course, innocent in the matter.
At the request of the commissioner OF pen
sions Capt. Hiligass took the civil service ex-
animation. He passed, and was certified to the
secretary of the interior on the 10th of July,
liner and transferred from the eastern division,
of which he was chief, TO the examination
division. This transfer was at his own request,
and had the approval of the commissioner
of pensions and the acting secretary OF the in
terror He was ordered TO GAINESVILLE for duty.
He left here Wednesday, arrived at GAINESVILLE
on Thursday, and was dismissed by Secy. No
BILE by telegraph on Saturday. He has not
been advised of the cause of his removal.
What can the old soldiers now think of the
republican professions of special regard Tor the
soldiers interests? Capt. Hiligass served
through the entire war; starting with Gen.
Buell. at Louisville and going through the Buell.
and Bragg campaign. Then he served under
Old Rosy and gained laurels in the battle OF
Chickamauga. lie marched with Sherman 70
the sea and across the Carolinas and was at the
surrender of Gen. Joe Johnston in North Caro-
lima. He was a member of the Fourteenth
army corps from its organization until after the
war closed, and participated IN every campaign
and every battle. Yet this gallant old soldier
is discharged--not discharged in manly way,
but kicked out like a dog.

The republican newspapers that are making
q fight against the Indiana school book con-
pany on its proposition to furnish cheap school
books to the children Of this state are msking
big mistake both from an economical and
political standpoint. In the first place they
lay themselves open to suspicion Of mer-
cenary motives, for the people naturally in
ouire, why should these papers champion
the cause Of such a corrupt, selfish. uneon-
scionable concern as the old and odious
monopoly was, without being paid for their
Serylceg The new company that has been

In hogging Messrs. Fleming, Bel. Muir

ture, our republican friends do so over the
shoulders Of four as good republicans as there
are in Indiana. They are better men and bet
ter republicans than most of those who, for
paltry partisan purposes try 70 impugn their
motives and their honor. These four men
combined have rendered more material aid to
the grand old party than any hundred machine
politicians who reflect on their action; aud
their liberality and influence have been IN

ever held political Office and the offices that

people. He and the Others are not repubii-

they ask no Office and are independent Of such
