GREAT is HOVEY.
Why Did He Commission These Men IL the
Governor Has Sole Power to Appoint?

Why Did He Commission These Men IL the
Governor Has Sole Power to Appoint:
The consistency or rather the inconsistency
of Gov. Hovey's course with regard to the is
suance of commissions to the officers elected by
the legislature at its last session is something to
be marveled at.
1t will be remembered that Gov. Hovey CON-
missioned State Librarian Dunn without ques-
ton as to the legality of the election. 1t was
some time before he discovered that 1t was ''un-
constitutional" for the legislature 10 ELL any
Offices But he finally made that truly wonder
full discovery and announced the fact by re-
fusing commissions 10 the insane hospital
trustees and other officers chosen by the gen.
eral assembly.
Shortly after this discovery and announce
ment by the man who carries the soul OF the
great Napoleon around under his ample waist
coat he evidently forgot himself for a moment,
for he issued commissions, about April !, 10
Adams Earle of Lafayette, Samuel Bowen of
South Bend and George Hall of Raleigh as
members of the livestock sanitary commission.
This livestock commission was created by
an act of the general assembly at its last ses-
sion and expressly ignored the appointing
power of the governor by providing that the
members of the commission shall be nominated
by the state board OF agriculture, and commits
sions issued by the governor.
The natural inference would be that the
governor, during a fit of Observation-Disclosures,
had forgotten the stand he had taken upon the
"constitutionallty" OF an act OF the legislature
filling state Office. However, two Of the
members of the commission are republicans,
and it is said q number of republicans held a
long and exciting session with the man who
thinks he inherited Napoleon's soul and liter
ally read the riot act TO him. Because Of this
pressure the governor consented to waive
the constitutional question.
A great man is Gov. Hovey.

The weather and the Crops.

WASHINGTON, May 26-Weather crop
bulletin for the week ending May %: Over the
Ohio and upper Missouri valleys the daily
temperature ranged from nine to ten degrees
lower than usual, with light frosts in the upper
lake region. In New England and generally
throughout the Northwest, the season is from
one to two weeks in advance.
Large excuses of rainfall are reported in
the upper Ohio valley, including the greater
portions of Ohio, Indiana and upper Michigan.
There has been a large deficiency in rainfall
for the season from the Ohio valley southwark
over the tobacco and cotton regions OF Ten
nessee, Kentucky and the east gulf states. The
recent rainfalls over the northern portions of
the winter wheat region and throughout the
corn and wheat regions of the Northwest have
doubtless improved the growing crops in those
sections.
The weather during the week has been favor
able for all growing crops througout the North
west, the central valleys and New England,
but the drought continues in the south Allan
tic and the eastern gulf states, where the re-
ports indicate that all crops are greatly IN need
of rain. Cotton and small fruits have doubt
less been more or less injured. Insects are in
creasing rapidly, and gloomy prospects are
generally reported. The crop prospects have
been greatly improved in the states of the Ohio
valley by the timely rains, but some damage
nav result to fruit in this section from frOsts
which occurred on May %. Throughout the
states OF the corn and wheat belt the weather
for the week has improved the condition of the
principal crops, although trosts caused some
damage to early corn and vegetables in Mime
sofa. Excessive rains and cool weather over
the middle Atlantic states injuriously affected
small fruits and tender vegetables, brit gener-
ally improved grass and grain. The season in
this section and New England is early, and
crops have developed rapidly. The grass crop,
which is one of the most important crops in
New England. is especially reported in fine
condition. Harvesting is in progress as far
north as Tennessee.

OF a newborn baby. Its feet, legs, hips and

was perfect. The girl, Sophia NJ. \. Travelbea,
was found in bed. She is prepossessing and
intelligent, but pale and haggard, the picture
OF despair. She gave her testimony in a man.

Her statement TO the coroner was in substance
as follows: That during the night she was
seized with terrible pains; that she staggered
out into O lot and became unconscious. Com
ing to she found herself leaning against the
fence. She staggered back up stairs, where
she again lost consciousness. She has no
knowledge of giving birth to a child She
further stated that her own brother, John
Henry Travelbea, is the father of her dead
babe and that be worked her ruin by force,
without her consent, while she was keeping
house for him at the time he was keeping
store ut Slocum. The unnatural brother has
left and she does not know where he is now.
She has been an orphan since she was three
years old and is only turned seventeen now
Her condition is pitiable. Great excitement
and indignation in the neighborhood prevails.

Contention Between Leavenworth and En-

Contention Between Leavenworth and En-
gIish as to the Court House.
ENGLISH, May 23-[Special. The sectional
ill-wlll continues TO augment between Leaven-
worth and this place upon the subject of the
county seat question, as awakened by house
bill No 442. The bill, a large number of our
people claim, was a partisan bill. rushed
through by the friends of the town of English.
1t reduced the per centage required to move the
county seat from % to 50 per cent. and provides
that the county seat shall not be removed TO
any place within four miles of the county line.
This cuts off every town about English in the
county. English is preparing for the attack
and Leavenworth for the defense. Leaven-
worth proposes putting cells into the old Jail
and otherwise improving it, and building an
addition TO the courthouse at her own ex-
suitable for county business and at the same
time raise the value, both of which effects
would be TO induce the people to oppose re-
moval. Leavenworth and her friends claim
that the county is now $4,000 in debt and has
nothing to show for it bnt the poor-house.
LeavenwOrth and her friends say
we need roads worse than we need
county buildings, and there Is
much truth in this, for there is not one mile of
macadamized road in the county. 1t is fact
that the Leavenworth u PaoH gravel road
might have been built years ago but for the OPP
position of Leavenworth, and Leavenworth has
the reputation of opposing everything where
she has not the lions share of the gains. The
friends of English have such confidence in
their town that a new impulse has been given
to business. Grand residences, mercantile
buildings and many ordinary buildings are
under way. On the other hand, Marengo,
which is really the largest town in the county
and which sides with LeavenwOrth in the con-
test. continues to stride onward and chuckles

me coal DTin-r., strike.

Brazil, May 26.-lSpecial Every indica-
ton points to a protracted struggle between
the operators and strikers of the block coal
fields. For the past week the executive COM
mittee Of the strikers has been busy in send.
ing out soliciting committees for aid. Besides
the local committees and those already sent to
Terre Haute and indianapolis, committee of
four, composed of William Murray, Lindsey
Morton, John Kennedy and John w. Miller,
was appointed yesterday to go to Columbus,
o., for canvass OF that city. While here
Thursday attending the annual meeting of the
Brazil block coal company, President Law
renee of Chicago said that the only solution of
the situation would be the acceptance of the
scale offered by the operators-that they had
offered all that can possibly be paid and would
make no concessions. If the strikers persist
in holding out against the reduction, it is
thought the attempt will be made TO import
other men or put in machine dggers.
