To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
If the present Legislature wants to make
a record of which it may be proud in after
years, and wants to help the Republican
party, it cannot do a. better thing than
reduce salaries of State and county officers
from 80 to 100 per cent. Where is the good
sense or good economy in paying $1,000 for
work than can be easily done for S2,00e?

COLD WEATHER STORIES.

take on woman passenger. She was ap
parently thiniy clad for she had nothing
about her shoulders but loose wrap.
She took her seat near the door and the
conductor watched her obviously. She had
not the least appearance Of being cold, but
sat as quietly and, apparently comfort
ably. as if she had been by warm gas

handed out her fare.

WAIF FROM THE CHICORA.
Tramp Dog from the Lost boa
Swfms Ashore.


Swfms Ashore.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Jan. a.
When the Chicora went out of st. Joseph
on it's last trip there was dog aboard.
Yesterday the dog was brought into the
city alive. Tuesday night the dog was
heard whining at the door of road house
ut Pottowattomie Park. 1t is snuff
colored skye terrier. 1t was covered with
ice. The finder connected the visit of the
strange dog, which had evidently just come
out Of the cold water, with the loss of the
Chicora, and brought it to this city yester-
day, where it was Immediately recognized
by the stevedores who work on the Graham
docks and by the crew of the Petoskey as
the animal aboard the Chicora when it
left. 1t has been tramp passenger on the
Graham and Morton Transportation Com
Iany's boats for several months.
The return of the animal indicates that
the Chicora was within half mile of the
east shore Tuesday evening, the second
night out. The dog. it is believed, could
not swim more than quarter Of mile.
The place where the dog came ashore, Pot
tomattomie, Park, is eight miles north of
here.
