Mr.. CATTERsoN's WINNING WAYS.
Worth Admission Price to See Him
Sell Peanuts mt the Circus.

The managers of the Free kindergarten
were highly delighted at the size of the
audience in attendance upon the Society
Circus last evening. There was a large
crowd present and the performance pro-
ceeded without hitch. The ladies were
also delighted over the sale of peanuts and
popcorn. for it was simply immense. This
was partly due to the efforts of Mr.. George
Catterson. His friends, after watching him
for time, declared that he had missed

said Representative Moore, of Montgomery

applying what is called the spois system
to the management of the public institu-
lions. On the contrary, want to get them
out of it. l am in favor of retaining all
the faithful and efficient employees in the
institutions. and / hold that every appoint
ment in these institutions should be on the
merit system. and expect that the bill will
have a provision in it requiring trustees
and their direct appointees shall enforce the
merit system. also believe that the only
way to overthrow nonpartisanship and
favoritism in these institutions is to pass
bill which will put the appointment of
the boards in the hands of board ma

More AupIicants Heard From.

A few days ago there was a long list of
names file at the office of the Board
of Works for the position of sprinkling in
spector. But a great number of these have
been withdrawn because it has become
noised about that the new appointee can
receive but $50 a month and that Jacob
Scholl received 800, because his appoint
ment was dated back of the time of the
going into effect of the salary ordinance.
The following still have applications on
file: John Welt. Theodore List. Samuel

Canrse of InSnectiOn.

Acting according to the instructions OF the
Board of Works, City Engineer Brown is
preparing a report of all faulty sewer work
done by contractors which was discovered
after the Council investigation. The report
will show that twelve catch basins on
the Elnl-street sewer, built by Mansfield
& Allen, were not constructed according
to specifications Ten of them have two
inch bottoms instead of four-inch, and two
of them have no bottoms at all. Three
catch basins of the Merrill-street sewer,
built by the same firm, are faulty. Two
basins, with but four-inch walls, built by
the Acme company have been discovered.
Derk DeRuiter, of the latter company, has
promised to repair all faulty work. Mr..
Brown has decided to examine the basins

this fire burned over three hours without

Will H. Craig, of Noblesville, was in the

nal said that the Republicans of Hamilton
county were dsheartened at the course the
Legislature was taking and were predicting
disaster to the party two years hence if
the Legislature kept on making records as
it had in the past. The Republicans of
Noblesvlle,'' said Mr.. Craig, were surprised
at the position taken by Senator
Boyd. The action of the caucus Wednes-
day night in regulating the prom
ises of the party for ten years past is de-
nounced by our people in measured terms.
This action brands the party unreliable,
and the action itself is truly one of party
perfldy and dishonor The voters of Hamil-
ton county are ten to one against the break
ing of party pledges, and remonstrance
from Senator Boyd'S constituents is talked

Nevada, informs the Courier that the
story published in several of the Ne
vada papers to the effect that man
and horse were found dead on the
road from Luning to Wadsworth and
that the man was brought to Dow
neyyille and buried there, is false.
There is not the slightest ground to
warrant the beginning Of such a sto-
ry, and the people of Downeyville
were greatly surprised when they
read the false statement. A tramp
who passed through the town on his
way to Austin is supposed to have
fabricated the story.-Belmont Cou-

Silver Star.

In the bottom of the Oneida shaft,
l45 feet deep, the footwall of the
vein, which has always carried value
in the sulphurets to the amount of
1928 per ton, making the whole ma
terlal worth from So to $40 per ton,
has changed, and in addition to the
value in sulphurets now carries from
$40 to $50 per ton in free gold. This
is considered extremely important by
the owners; for the reason that this
sulphuret material in the footwall
exists on the surface for 800 feet in
length. It's width is from five to six
feet at least, but not having been
crosscut, it exact width is not yet
determined.

Modern Prosecutors.

Nevada has few of the old time
prospecters left. Those who used to
tramp over the hills with their bur
ros in front of them, have like the
antelope and buffalo, vanished and
gone from sight. The prospector of
to-day rides bicycle forty miles and
back; sleeps between sheets, and
takes bath before going to bed,
Where an old timer would have
spent six weeks digging and picking,
now half hours gaze toward the
horizon Wild convince the average
prospector that some fellow has TAX
en- up the whole country, and he re-
turns home, puts on his dressing
gown and lighting his havana, tells
his wife that he has been prospecting
and that there is nothing in the
new diggings which has not been
taken up The next day some more
energetic person comes in with some
rich rock, and the stampede is re-
peated over again.
What Nevada most needs al the
present time is indefatigible pros
pectors who d0 not go crazy over a
speck of gold, and who do not pros
pect with field glasses. Elk.
