RAILROAD TALK.


Last week Messrs. Patrick and
Small returned here and informed
our citizens that they had come
with the last proposition and de-
sired to meet the people. Accord
ingly a meeting was called which
convened at the court house Mon
day night, and was well attended
and enthusiastic throughout its pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Small said that all
the necessary arrangements were
made and that the work would COM
mence on the road just as soon as
they were assured that they could
get their money as soon as train
of ears ran over the road To Ferdi-
nand, Dubois county, which would
be necessary between now and Feb
ruary 1st, next year. In view oi
the proposition it was unanimously
adopted by the meeting that the pc.
tition or contract be circulated
among the taxpayers along the road
agreeing To pay the raiiroau taA
within thirty days after the com
pletion Of the road to Ferdinand
Mr.. Small said that this was the
only and last proposition, and with,
in one week after the assurance oi
the acceptance Of this proposition
he would have hundreds Of men
moving the dirt and constructing
the road. The proposition to pa,
|, the tax voluntarily as soon as the
road was completed to Ferdinand
seemed to meet the unanimous con
sent of all the taxpayers present
and the general impression seem
; to prevail that the proposition vii
: be accepted, and that train OF car
will run over the road from Rock
port to Ferdinand between now am
/, next New Year. If the citizens am
+ taxpayers are in earnest and Wi
, paw the tax at once instead OF wait
: ing to pay by the usual process, tn
Il road will be built beyond doubt

When a young man, and living
in Anderson, Secretary Of State
Myers was an ardent sportsman,
and spent much of his time in quest
Of the game which abounded at that
time. He was good shot and took
great pride in his reputation for
having sure eye.
As with all sportsmen, some good
stories are told at the expense Of
Capt. Myers. One Of the officials
Of the state house tells the following
on him:
1t was when Capt. Myers was a
young man that White river in the
vicinity Of Anderson was a great
feeding ground and general loafing
place for wild ducks. One day in
the early fall, when the ducks had
begun to fly low and toward the
south, Mr.. Myers, with George
Pence, Dan Mustard and few 9TH
ers from Anderson, shouldered their
guns, and after filling their pockets
with edibles, started out for day
with the ducks.
Five hours later there was dis
consolate party seated on the bank
of the river seven miles from town.
1t was the hunting party, and, to
their great surprise, they hadn't
seen duck. 1t was midday, aw-
fully hot, the ducks were in hiding,
and as the party lounged around ON
the grass with the guns leaning
against the sides Of the trees, one
by one the tired hunters dozed OF
to sleep until Capt. Myers alone
was awake. He, too, was about to
'lfollow suit, when-"quack! quack J
llquack." came in rasping tones
from the marshy bank but a few
hundred feet up the bank.
The captain jumped as though he
had been shot. There was meat at
! last sure. The dogs heard the
: noise and started up with low
e glowls. Mr.. Myers arose to his
feet noiselessly, grabbed the dogs
and started in a slow and stealthy
manner for the bank from whence
..Iissued the sounds Of the ducks at
..lplay. AS he approached nearer,
'step by step, he could hear the
';lsplashing Of the water as they beat
il with their wings. All the instinct
of the sportsman was aroused with
Tin him and he crept nearer and
: nearer, all the time being COM
! PEELED to hold back the dogs.
I Fifteen minutes later he was near
! enough to venture a shot. The
= ducks were directly beneath him.
|. Slowly and noiselessly he arose to
: his feet and looked down. There
,ebefore his eyes fifty great mallards
were carousing in great glee. Like
y flash his hold Of the dogs loosened
The raised his arm to level with his
,, shoulder, shut one eye, and-dis-
: !, covered that he had forgotten to
u.bring his gun. He turned his eyes
! ! and saw it resting against the tree
eas he had left it. The dogs shot
] forward, there was a whir-rr-r-r and
missing as the air filed with the wa
ter fowl, the flock scared overhead
= like cloud and a moment lateI
} j had disappeared. !.
! When the party awoke a half
! hour later Mr.. Myers was gone, and
= SO was his gun. They hunted fol
/, him all afternoon, and finally found
Thin at home. II was some weeks
= before Mr.. Myers told it, and it has
:. . never been forgotten.-lnd. Sen

people or the trusts? l. it for con-
rress to make the laws which even

The water works system at the
northern prison is without doubt
the most perfect and complete plant
Of its size to be found anywhere.
Twin pumps, which may be used
either single or double, supply ev-
ery part Of the prison with all the
water needed for manufacturing
purposes. Also the state property
outside Of the walls is amply sup
Piled with water for fire and other
purposes. The pumping station
and standpipe are near the center
of the grounds. From that point
mains radiate to all parts OF the
premises, supplying numerous bat
teries of steam boilers, besides meet
ing the wants Of upwards OF l,oOO
men for all purposes for which wa
ter is used. The grounds andbuild.
ings are supplied with fire plugs and
hose in ample quantity, and in Just
the right places to prove effective
when needed. In case OF fire the
standpipe, with its 10000 gallons
Of water, is cut off and direct pres
sure obtained from the pumps. A
few days ago an opportunity was
afforded to test the pumps for quick
action. An alarm of fire was sound
ed. The engineer quickly gave th'
pumps more steam, hurried to tn
cutoff valve at the base of the stand
pipe, about forty feet distant, anc
then hurried back to the pumps
When the alarm sounded the wate
gauges showed a pressure OF sixt,
pounds, but when the engineer re
turned to his post after cutting OF
the standpipe the pressure had in
creased to ninety pounds. Th'
combined nominal capacity OF tn
two pumps is 100000 gallons pc
day. Only one Of the pumps j
used at a time, and its action is s.
nicely adjusted to the demands tina
any slightly diminished consump
ton of water causes an overfio'
from the top Of the standpipe.-

Our advice is not to do it. You
iniure your chances of making an
average by worrying, and it is use
less. Just little advice, now, and
then you can save all worry and
fret by following it. The secret Of
passing an examination Is to keep
cool, and the way to keep cool is to
make full preparation before hand.

We have recognized in this coun-
try the duty Of the State to provide
means for educating the children.
This policy is the result OF the recog-
nition OF the fact that the citizens OF
a Republic must be intelligent if the
Republic is to be perpetuated. 1t
is the right Of the child, too, to re-
ceive proper equipment for the act
i've duties of life. But we desire to
impress our readers with the fact
that millions of our children are de-
prived Of complete facilities for ac-
1uiring an education. In many OF
our farming districts it is utterly
impossible for parents to maintain
schools which can furnish com
Iplete common sch ,ol education.
One teacher cannot impart it. lie
or she has not the time to do it dur
ling the time which the boy or CIR
attends school; and if the child i
perfectcd in common school cdu
cation the parent must be at the ex
pense Of sending it to the city ol
into the town. Very often the pa
rent cannot afford to do this. Blu
lif one child should be educated al
Ichildren should be, and the onl.
way to accomplish the desired re
suit is through State taxation an'
supervision. The State and no
school districts should bear the bur
'Iden. We have spoken OF this mat
tier before, and refer to it again sim
Iplv because we deem it Of the ut
most importance to our farmers

Our great poets have done more
for our country than our law
makers, and il is by bringing the
young people into close and perma-
nent contact with what is best in
our poetry, and our most highly
charged prose, that we can arouse
the deeper spirit Of true patriotic
love Of our country, and make this
a vital, inspiring force. The duty
Of the schools is not to formulate
patriotism, but to inoculate i
through history, biography, poetry
In ethics again, there can be Q
question Of the value of direct in
but there can bc no doub
that the best way to call into lif'
and fortify the moral side of eacl
child's life, is by the persisten
use Of indirect : means, filling th'
mind with the thoughts and idea
Of the purest and sweetest poets
Here. too, we find in our American
writers closer sympathy and
more direct acquaintance with tn
life and feelings which surround on
school children. Horace l.. Scud
