PINGREk'S POTATOES.
The Rmising of Them was a Grent Sue


The Rnising of Them a Grent Sue
DETROIT Oct 19-Mayor Pingree said
today in speaking of the success of his
potato crop:
1--WE have raised between 10000 and
10000 bushels on about 500 acres and
relieved about 1900 people. Two years
ago our town paid out $150.0O0 for its
poor. Last year we paid out $4,000 and
this year l reckon we shan't pay out
anything. The chief value of the potato
patch scheme is its educational feature
1t teaches people to become self support
ing, and quite number of our former
pauDers, nave gone to farming.
Another thing, the potato patch has
proved that the unfortunate poor are not
law. as people claimed. Every body is
willing to work in our town"

Horses E 1t It and Gradually Waste Away

MIKwAUKEE, Oct 19.-According to
Dr. c. F. Scott, the state veterinarian. the
golden rod is responsible for the death
of many horses in the lum Der region. DR..
Scott thus tells of how he discovered the
cause of the mortality.
'For the past three years the lumber
men have suffered the loss of over 1000
head of horses from disease that no one
could Diagnose correctly. The trouble
lies in golden rod. which they eat
"There is no cure. The disease will
last from three weeks to three months,
and results in a general wasting away of

MR.. THURSTON'S POSITION.
He is U. s. Senator and General Solicitor of
the Union Pac fic.


the Union Pac flc.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oc:. 19.-United States
Senator John NJ. Thurston left for Los
Angeles with his wife yesterday. The
Nebraska statesman expects to stay
there for his health during the few
weeks before the coming meeting of
congress Senator Thurston, though
elected to seat in the up
per house of congress, still retains the
office of general solicitor to the Uaiou
Pacific system. though he has stated that
he will shortly hand in his resignation to
the Union Pacific receivers and thus
sever his connection with the railroad
before congress meets.
Before Senator Thurston left for the
south he said to a number of friends that
it would be highly injudicious for
him TO attempt to preside over
the law department of the Union
Pacific and occupy seat in tho
United States senate at the Same
time, particularly in view of tho
fact that congress at its next session will
undoubtedly pay some attention to legis-
lation affecting the bond aided roads.
Senator Thurston has been a United
States senator since the 4th of March
last, though he has not as yet taken his
seat He has continued in the position
of general solicitor of the Union Pacific
up to the present time.
He will likely stay where he is for but
two months hence and the Union Pacific
will then have to look around for his
successor

LETTER WRITING.

Scribblers of Rasty Notes.
Every one knows, of course, that the
actual number Of letters passing through
the mails of every civilized country is
greater, rather than less, year by year.
But every one also feels that these let
ters are no longer letters, in the true
sense, at all. They are amplifed tele-
grams, bald and bare statements of fact,
and they have the loose and disjOinted
and careless phraseology Of the tele-
graphic message That sense of the fit
expression, the graceful concept; that
feeling for tho lucid and connected ex-
position of the ideas, for the balance of

might be said, as Henry James re
marked of the notes of invitation of the
London society woman, that they have
nothing i'll common with the epistolary
art but the postage stamp.
It may be held that such an accom-
pli&hment is not, after all, of the great

stinct, deep seated in the race, that
widespread habit of careless writing af
fects very directly the thinking Of q peo-
pie And this one cannot but believe to
be the case. 1t takes no intellect to put
plain facts into honest, self respecting

WANTS MORE SALARY

An Assistant Street Foreman Needed
Council Annexes Some Territory

The Board of Public Works yesterday
morning addressed two letters TO the Coun-
eli which will be considered by that body
at the next regular meeting. One of them
proposes to increase the salary of the
sprinkling inspector from $50 to $50 month
and the other proposes to create the posi-
ton of assistant foreman of street repairs.
Following are the letters:
We respectfully recommend that your
honorable body pass proper ordinance au-

question as to what was really intended
should be paid the occupant of this posi-
ton. AS it is necessary for him to have
two. horses, if he does his duty in a proper
manner. and the ordinance fixing his salary
seems to be manifestly insufficient. we ask
that you authorize us to employ an In
spector of street sprinkling and sweeping at
the salary named above.
I'VE would respectfully. ask your hon
orable body to pass ordinance creating
the position of assistant foreman of street
repairs the position TO be filled by one who
is able to run levels for the street depart
ment. This would relieve the engineering
department and save expense in the street
department. We trust that you will give
this request your consideration

pointed at a salary of $50 month, which
were thirty other applicants for the same
position at the same salary Mr. Fisher,

members shifted their positions and leaned
forward, prepared to catch every word.

Il have serious charge to make against
of the present members and shall
demand that there be full investigation. -
MIR. Cooper paused, as If his words caused
him pain. He looked at the members pity

and moved uneasily in their seats. Mr..
Cooper went on TO say.
Il cannot express how painful this is to

GOVERNOR AS A UsuRPER.
Position the Board of State Officers
VIII Take.

VIII Take.
The State commission for the appoint
ment of prison directors held another ses-
sion last night, with the law question still
the topic of consideration. The commun-
ication from the attorneys for the Cover
nor was read, but on attention being called
to the fact that it was addressed to the
members as State officers and not as men,
bers of the appointing power under the
law, it was decided not to receive the COM
munication. The board decided to treat the
Governor in the litigation the usurper
and in whatever form the case shall be
carried into court, the basis of the action
will be that of uSurpation on the part
of the Governor. The trial courts will have
agreed facts submitted. 1t is probable the
litigation will begin in Michigan City in
a movement to GUST the Democratic board
of control, unless the Governors attorneys
agree to let. the case go to the Superior
Court of Marion county. Governor Mat
thews and the board have agreed that the
hearing shall be presented for the earliest
possible decision.
The matter of appointments to the boards
was not considered last night. further than
to submit the eapplica tons of several new
candidates. The board took another recess
until this afternoon.

The scene that followed Mr.. Cooper's
speech was remarkable. COuncilmen fairly
shouted, the exercise seeming to give them
relief. Mr.. Young was unable TO speak for
fully five minutes. Mr.. Costello said he is
subject to heart trouble and the suspense
came near proving too much for him. The
matter ended by committee being ap-
pointed TO investigate both Mr.. Young and
Mr.. Cooper, and by Mr.. Young buying the
cigars.
The only business transacted by the
Council was the passage of the ordinance
annexing property west of the city, be-
tween the city and Haughvile. The orig
inal ordinance was amended so as to ex-
clude jefferson Park, for Haughville has
annexed that property. The section an
nexed to indianapolis includes the property
owned by Councilman Merritt. the Evans
linseed oil works and Chris Lentz. The
section is irregular in shape. 1t lies west
of the river. and north of Michigan street,
extending as far west as the eastern bound
ary of Haughyille.
