WILLARD Is IMPROVING.
HE WILL LEAVE FOR INDIO THIS
WEEK.
A Bill to Bs Passed to Validate the D ath
Taken Bers-Tho Commit
tees Will Stand.

Lcutenant-Govorno Willard was able
to sit up yesterday for half an hour for
the first time since he was taken i'll
with pneumonia. He looked much ex~
hausted, and his slender form showed
conclusive evidence5 Of his serious sick
mental strength to sssumo the duties of
his Office, and with ever most excellent
care and the reCuperative influences of q
warmer climate he will not be able to
make his bow before the senate for q
month.
The eolons ct Sacramento have
adopted the suggestion of THE HERALD
to pecs bill providing that an oath in
due form, taken by the governor or
acknowledgements ELECT not in joint
session of both houses, shall bs valid if
such oath ia certified to by an official
authorized by law to administer such
oath, and il the document is filed with
the secretary OF state. This amend
ment to the present code will not re-
quire the services of special inaugura.
ton committee, and will make the oath
taken by Mr.. Willard last Friday legal.
In the event of the passage of the
amendment, Mr.. Willard will GO to
Indio as soon as his strength will per-
nit and he will remain there until he is
able 10 90 to Sacramento.

Some comment haa been made on the
fact that Mr.. Willard should have COM
posed the committees in this city one
month prior to the meeting of tho legis-
lature, and that he, being O new man in
politics in this state, could not very well
have been posted as to the qualifications
OF the different senators to serve upon
the committee.
Mr.. Willard, however, explains that
during the political campaign last year
he has become personally acqusi nted
with every candidate for senatorial
honors on the Republican ticket, and
that the knowledge of their qualiGca-
tione 80 obtained enabled him 80 properly
eelsct the respective commitsoeo.

How Insurance Companies Might In Man.
Cases Avoid Fraud.

How Insurance Companies Might In Many
Cases Avoid Fraud.
. Numerous cases Of imposition on life
insurance companies by means Of false
presentation are to be found in the law
reports Of this country and of England.
A notable addition to the number seems
likely to be found in the case Of Mrs.
Annie Silverman, who was insured in
May last by the Empire Life Insurance
company for $3, 600.
It seems to us that there is one meth
cd which might be adopted that would
tend very greatly to secure insurance
companies against frauds of this sort.
Why not take an accurate photograph
Of every person whose life is insured at
the time Of the application for the pol
icy? Such a picture, identified as it
could be by the photographer, the in
surance agent, and eve by the sigma
ture Of the applicant Endorsed upon it,
would afford a means of Identification
which it would be very difficult to dis
pute, except after a long lapse Of time,
or where there CHANGED to be a very
striking resemblance between the per-
son insured and the person whose death
was the basis Of the claim for the in
surance money. New York Sun.

A gigantic undertaking, the bridging
over Of Palk's strait, separating the is
land Of Ceylon from the mainland of
India, is seriously proposed by the Cey-
lon government. The strait is al miles
broad at its narrowest point, double the
width Of the English channel, but is
very shallow, in many places only six
feet deep.
The islands, reefs and channels in it
have been recently surveyed, and the
cost Of works, extending over 81 miles,
including the Pambam channel and the
Adams bridge reef, is estimated at 49,
600, 900 rupees. The ends will be con-
nected by las miles Of railroad, with
Colombo, the great harbor Of Ceylon, on
the n side, and by 90 miles of road,
with Madura, the nearest point of the
Indian railroad system, ON the other. If
narrow gauge is used, this can be done
for 1900, 900 rupees more. A rupee
is about 80 cents.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.
That Is the Reputation the Product Of the
Pleasant Valley Creamery Company
Has Gained in the Boston
Market.

From E. r. G. Gross, secretary Of the
Pleasant Valley creamery in Farming
ton township, a DAILY LEADER reporter
last evening cleaned the following facts
as to the success Of that institution. 1t
has been running just nj year now, and
is a permanent enterprise. The business
for July has not yet been footed up but
Mr.. Gross had the figures complete for
June. In that month 243,34O pounds Of
milk had Eeen received at the creamery
from which 10000 pounds Of butter was
made. This milk was paid for at the
rate Of IA cents a pound for butter fat or
a total OF s1,2O3.72 and $325.49 expense
for the month, making a total earning Of
S1,529.2l for the month. The creamery
had SO patrons during the month and
the butter sold in the Chicago market
at 1917 cents per pound during the
greater part of the month, but latterly
at 10 and 20 cents. In response to their
first shipment Of butter sent to Boston
the first Of June they received the fol-
lowing in regard to quality, from their
commission merchant:
Enclosed We hand you account Of
sales, check to balance, for q tubs Of
butter, the sales on which We trust are
satisfactory to you. We have found
your butter of a very excellent quality.
One Of our best butter men on this mar
ket examined it this week and pronounce
ed it as fine as anything he had ever
seen and called it perfect in every way.
1t seems a little singular to us that out
there where you have so much wild
prairie and very little tame grass, that
you should be able to make 80 fine q
piece Of butter in every way, but so it
seems to be. None Of our New York
state, Vermont, or any other section, 10
better, and very, very few marks are rs
good. Now, We hope that you will give
US your goods regularly, every time that
Mr.. Turner has a a coming forward.
You understand that he will soon have q
cooler nea the depot and will be able to
hold it a few days in case you come in
with your butter before his is going out,
and we see no eason why you can't get
your butter to us now every week in
good shape, and we believe that we
shall DO able here to do you considerable
good IN sales. We have No doubt but
what We shall average considerable bet
ter for you than New York or any other
market car possibly do in the ash tubs"

A STRANGE STORY.
The Lille Romance of a Citizen OF Logans
port, Ind

b lAfe Romance of q Citizen Of Logans
port, Ind.
Charles +. Lispenard, deputy su-
preme chief of the order Of Foresters,
has just succeeded in finding his moth
er, from whom he has been separated
many years. In 1861, when he was 6
years old, he was stolen from his home
in New York city, and for ~ years led
o life of hardship and adventure.
OF his boyhood he remembers very
little, except a long ride ON the cars,
and after that Q period of cruelty n
dured at the hands Of a farmer named
Allen neal Kentland, Ind. by whom he
was put to work herding cattle. At the
age OF 10 he fed one night, but was
captured by a nephew Of the farmer and
brought back and whipped until he fell
In . swoon, and was then left in q barn
to die.
Here he was found by some cattlemen
from Lafayette, who took charge Of him
and secured the conviction Of the cruel
farmer and his nephew, who were SEN
fenced to long terms in the peniten-
tiary.
At the age Of 10 Lispenard went to
Logansport, Ind, where he afterward
married and reared a family, still going
by the name Of Allen-the only one he
knew.
A few years ago a we'll dressed stran-
ger approached him where he was at
work s a contractor, and, calling him
to one side, said: "You think your
name is Allen. 1t is not. 1t is Lispen-
ard, and your mother still lives in
Brooklyn" Without another word the
stranger turned and walked away and
has not been seen or heard from since.
On the clew given, however, Lispenard
has succeeded in tracing his mother. -
