COURTHOUSE RING.
Close Corporation for the Benefit of q Few
Democratic Office Hoiders.

Close Corporation for the Benefit Of q Few
Democratic ONCE Holders.
The fact that the Marion county offices
are in the clutches of a ring is becoming so
apparent that il is arouslng discussion and
indignation in the voters and taxpayers.
Not only are Republicans disposed to NUT
ter and complain at the papable fact that
the interests of Taxpayers are disregarded
when those of Messrs Taggart. BackUs.
Wilson. Holt ct al are at stake, but the
Democrats also are taking hand in the
general execration of these officials. Long
ago these smooth politicians - the
county officers-laid their plans to
perpetuate the county ring, and
unless the voters of Marion county rise up
and by their ballots rebuke them the coun-
ty will, for four years more, be IN their
clutches. 1t will be remembered that when
Victor Nj. Backus received the nomination
for county treasurer it was under an ex-
press agreement with Hatchet Holt and
his henchmen that he would not try for q
second term, bat would throw all his
strength to Holt This he did. and Holt
was nominated. This is one of the WAYS
by which these able gentlemen ex-
poet to perpetuate themselves in power and
keep in q position to handle the county'S
money and grow rich off of it.
The officials named form q close corpor a
ton that works only for mutual lntore st
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Mr.. Taggart hardly
ever goes into an investment that Treasurer
Backus does not have some interest in. and
the county auditor, who occupies an
office which is intended to be check on
the treasurer, pulls together with that
gentleman in q manner that would be truly
coDmendable were it not at the sacrifice of
the peoples interests. In order to make
the county treasurer's office a better in
vestment than it otherwise would be.
the Democratic County Commissioners are
used as willing tools. 1t is q very common
thing for them TO exceed in their expendi-
lures the appropriation for one fund and
to borrow out of another to make it good,
paying therefor per cent. interest. which
goes to line the pockets of County Treasur-
er Backus with unearned lucre. Now, Mr..
Backns expects to step out IN order that
his very dear friend Mr.. Holt can step in,
and County Auditor Taggart has already
selected q man to succeed himself who will
do his bidding That is the way these men
have fixed things MP, and they Will carry
out their plans unless the voters of the
county take q hand Nov. and send the
ring to mingle with ike Democratic putre-
factions of the days agone.

Man Knocked Down, Buggiss Wrecked and
General Confusion Created.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon .
spirited horse attached to q side-bar buggy
dashed around the corner of Delaware and
Washington streets, and started north on
Delaware street with q speed only equaled
by the East WashinRton-strcet electric
cars. Between Washington and Market
streets he knocked over an inoffensive.
non partisan farmer, whose name could not
be learned, jostled three or four buggIes
and scared their occupants. At the corner
of Market street he wheeled to the left and
in his rush down the street struck Dr.
Bryan's buggy, taking q wheel Oft. and
shaking the Doctor mp little moro than he
was accustomed 70. After this he had q
clear stretch of street, and he took ajvant-
age of il. The last seen of the horse WAS
when he turned north around the Circle ut
the Journal office. dragging the demolished
buggy after him.

BROUGHT BACK.
Enrico Bosanta, the Italian Swinder, Will
Have 10 FACE His Victims.

Enrico Bosants, the italian swindler,
who has been fleeing his countrymen IN
various cities, was brought to this city
from St. Louis yesterday by detective
Kinney. Several months ago two Italians
here. one q banana peddler and the other q
farmer on the Michigan road about five
miles east of the city, were buncoed out of
large sums of money by Bosanto.
Later he was arrested at Cincinnati upon
a telegram from st. Lonis, whore he had
fieeced some Of his countrymen. When he
was arrested at Cincinnati the two Italians
whom he had victimized in this city went
to that place and identified him. He was
taken to st. Louis and tried there but no
case being made, he was brought to this
city for trial.

1hs American Girl's Voice.


During my travels in America I made
the acquaintance of g great many young
women who possessed fair voices. and were
ambitious to earn their living on the
stage In opera or In concert. Looking back
over my own career would like to give q
few hints to those who think of embark
ing in q work that brings many trials, but
also rev ards and honors. rich and thick.
The first thing e for girl to
do is to find out If she has . voice.
This cannot possibly be ascertained
until she is fifteen or sixteen years of age.
Ii she possesses voice. and is ambitious
TO 20 on the stage. she should at once put
herself in the care OF 3 teacher who knows
how to develop the voice without strainin q
IL. have known SO many girls who were
fitted by nature with good voices, and who
might have become famous IL they had
only begun right. but through carelessness
when they we're young their voices were
strained, and before they were twenty
years of age were cracked and metallic
like. There was no melody IN them, and
get O practical ear could now and then de-
tect note or two of such sweetness 40 to
attest the fact that If they had been prop
erly trained their voices would have been
grand and beautiful.
