A. &. Pratt, Surveyor General elect,
has just received letter from Sand

to the effect that he is suing the State

He denies that there was a legal

was touching to all from the fact the opera
ton she was to endure was painful. and
she was there IN a free ward away from
parents and relatives. among strangers,
and too young to realize what she was
there for. She never cried, nor even talked,
but silently moved about the ward, when
she was allowed to be out of bed. with a
big scrap book, which was her only play
thing, and made friends with all the pa
tents. One day the nurse took her little
hand and she was led to the operating
room, willingly and unknowingly. When
she awoke on her bed after the operation
her face was sore and covered with plas-
tiers, and she cried a little, but when the

she went from bed to bed through the ward

seemed to have no visitors as best

the ward from bed to bed, as she had done
since her arrival there, but the old wom-

frightened her and for a long time she
did not visit her bed as she did the others.
AS the days went by no one came to see
the old woman and so the little one mus
tered up her book and crawled up on the
old woman's bed. The old woman was too
feeble to notice her and the little one was
too young to know that she was not
noticed, so she sat there for two hours
and turned over the pictures to entertain
the old woman. There was a vast space
between their lives AID yet they were both
practically in the same position, one life
was budding in a free ward and one life
was fading in a free ward, and thus they
both fell asleep.

LOOkS LIKE A BAD CASE.
Damaging Charges Against Wabash
County Commissioners

WABASH, Ind, March 24-There is a
commotion in political circles in this county
growing out of the peculiar methods of
the County Commissioners in awarding
bridge contracts, and Republicans as well as
Democrats are condemning the course of the
board in this particular. For several years
a concern at Muncie, Ind, has had a
practical monopoly of bridge construction
in Wabash county. The law which requires
that proposals shall be invited for all bridges
estimated to cost more than $500 each, has
been studiously ignored and large sums
have been paid for bridges purchased of
the Muncie establishment without compete
ton. There are now outstanding about $780,
600 of bridge warrants issued to this COM
pany and which were sold to local banks,
and the proposition to award the contract
to the same concern for a new double
without a thorough examination of the one
it was intended to replace and without
soliciting bids, has aroused much indigna-
ton. The Democratic organ on Friday pub
lished a two-column article in which it
boldly charged that the commissioners were
receiving brides from the Muncie concern
and claims that one of the commissioners
whose earthly possessions consist of forty
three acres of land, has, within two years
paid off an $500 mortgage. having no other
drafts in sums varying from $50 to 500
drawn b. the bridge company in favor of
one of the board have been frequently
cashed by him at a bank in the county.
Republicans are demanding that the COM
missionerS take immediate action to clear
themselves of the accusations or resign. So
far. the commissioners have paid no atten-
ton to the newspaper accusations.

We have for generations trained our boys

supposed that nothing could be weaker than
women, we have failed, l fear, to impress
which rarely occurs to a woman that in
most of her dealings with men the advan-
age lies with her, and that, in case OF
small hostilities, her foe, despite superior
ity in bodily strength, is bound hand and
foot before her.
The use of physical force in case of a
disparity of strength has been so long and
universally condemned that as against this
a woman may rest secure in the protection
afforded by her own weakness. But, If a

ITALIAN BARK SUNK.
Result of n Collision with British
Steamer Storm King.


LONDON, March 24.-The British steamer
Storm King, Captain Crosby, from Antwerp
for Boston, was in collision saturday with
the Italian bark Giuseppe, Captain Taro,
from Savannah, Feb. Ia, for Hamburg. The
accident occurred off Dungeness during a
heavy fog. The Giuseppe was so badly
damaged that she sank, but not until the
steamer had rescued her crew. The bow of
the Storm King were stove in, and it was
necessary for her to come to anchor. It is
expected that she will have to be partially
discharged in order to make repairs.
The bark Andara, Captain Adams, from
Tacoma, Oct. ~, for Liverpool, is aground

TIL American line steamer Berlin, Capt.
Lewis, which arrived at Southampton from
New York on Friday, and sailed on her
return the same day, reported that on FRI
day, when off Eddystone light, she ran into

dense fog at the time. Two of the traw-
ler's crew were rescued by the Berlin, but
the other two are supposed to have been
drowned.
