WE'RE GROWING.
Fort Wayne and
Union City, Indiana, Be-
long to Ohio"
SO the Government Survey Party De.
eide.

The question of the true boundary
line between Ohio and Indiana, which
has been agitated for so long a time, has
at last been settled Though it has not
been generally known, government
survey party has been at work for the
past month locating this boundary line.
The claim that has stood since Ohio be
a State came is declared false and Ohio
is entitled to a strip off Indiana "varing
from twelve miles wide at the northern
to boundary nothiog at the southern
limit"
The agitation of this question began
about year ago, through the Ohio Leg.
islature adopting resolution giving the
facts stated, and asking the National
Government to have the line corrected.
And in obedience to this resolution a
survey party, under the direction OF
Prof Mendenhall, and in personal charge
of Colonel Sinclair, was sent out. This
party has completed its work up to pre-
pairing of its report, which will take
about three weeks, when the result of
it's findings will be laid before the
authorities at Washington. Senator
Shockney, of Union City, leader of the
Republicans in the upper branch of the
last Legislature and who has access to
some pretty good sources Of Conformation,
states, "that Ohio has claim on Indiana
for strip two hundred miles long and
of an average width of six miles, an area
of l 200 square miles. This strip would
include the cities of Richmond, Fort
Wayne and Union City, and this would
bring in population of about 100000
more inhabitants to Ohio. Inquiry into
the cause of incorrectly running these
State lines reveals the fact that Rich
mond and Fort Wayne were post trading
stations, where very profitable busi,
ness was done with the Indians If the
line had been run correctly these post.
traders would have been taken into
Ohio and their occupation. would have
been gone" So the post-traders bribed
the surveyors who detected the line to
the east and left Richmond and Fort
Wayne on the Indiana side.
The question is very interesting a:
well as complicated one, for should
Ohio's claim be enforced, Indiana woulG
have cause of action against Illinois.

What Makes q Line Popular

This question can be easiest answered
by taking trip over the Chicago, ST.
Paul and Kansas City railway. Its ele.
CANT train equipment, fast time and
courteous treatment of patrons has won

popular route from Chicago to st Paul,
Minneapolis and the Northwest, and is
fast becoming the favorite line to
Dubuque, Des Moines, st. Joseph and
Kansas City. For rates and any informa-

1t may be few days late for election
news but there are some of our readers
who have not yet heard how all the
States went. 1t is for this reason we to-
day publish this list.
Sweeping and glorious was the triumph
of the Republican tickets. We elected
our own Governor Mckinley by ma.
jority of 21 500. That was good, but
when it comes to the Legislature and Il
goes Republican, too, that was better
Now what we want, what we must do tc
make it best will be to elect Republic
can United States Senator. The State
is full of rejoicing over this splendid
victory for it means far more than the
placing of one man or set of men il
office. 1t means the vindication of prin
ciples and doctrines which are undis
putably right. 1t means methods o
government that are honorable and in
sures legislation that will give to tn
people such season of happiness an
harmony as has never been known il
this country before.
The election of Mckinley is the en-
dorsement of his magnificent scheme G
protection, which will benefit every Cit
zen of the nation. Aside from this tn
result in Ohio this fall betokens Re
publican victory in the next nations
canvass, and this assures good dollars an
, good times for the next ten years.
There is nothing surprising in thi
. victory though there is much to rejoic
. at. 1t was won by the people then
. selves, for their own good common sens
, has shown them all that there is goo
in integrity and high minded principl
and all that will result in the advance
q ment of the best interests and highes
! prosperity of the people is embodied i
the principles of the Republican party
AS to the county ticket let us say W
have all but two-we lost the Sheriff an

Mailbag Keys.

And just here word about
mail locks and keys. All over
this ~s.ofse great country, from Maine
to California, and from st. Paul
to New Orleans, every mail lock is
the exact counterpart of every
other one of the many hundreds
of thousands; and every one ofthese,
the key in any post-office in the
country, whether it be the small
est crossroads settlement or the
immense New York City office, will
lock and unlock. Every key is num-
bered, and though the numbers run
high into the thousands,-the key
which | last used was number TO-
600.-a record of every one is kept by
the Government, and it's whereabouts
can be told at any time. Once in
six or seven years, as measure
of safety, all the locks and keys are
changed New ones of an entirely
different pattern are sent out, and
the old ones are called in and de-
stroyed.-Max Bennett, in February
