fishing a travelling library" system similar
to that Of Wisconsin. where a few books,

Wisconsin this is done by the State.

lowed with arguments sustaining the state

figures showing the immense amount of
reading that is being done through this

Miss Mary Eileen Ahern. leading spirit
of the organization, spoke in general terms
of the efforts of the present and past to
increase the number of volumes and the
circulation of the libraries. She said she
believed the work of creating a proper SEN
timent to forward the movement for town

children, who are the ones that are now
experiencing the disadvantage that comes
from the lack of books.
F. r. Many. of the indianapolis schools,
said the people are just beginning to realize
the fact that it is not in the school that
an education is gained but that the founda-

MRS. R. c. LIGHTS DEATH.
Due Entirely to Natural Causes, Says
Deputy Coroner DOdds.

Deputy Coroner Dodds yesterday investi-
gated the death of Mrs. r. c. Light, wife
of DR.. Light, of Broad Ripple, who died.
last Friday night. DR.. Dodds said, after
taking the testimony Of DR.. Light and Drs.
Bowers of Millersville, and Dr. Dunning,
of this city, who had attended her during
the last year. that Mrs. Light hal died of
sceptic peritonitis and that her death was
entirely due to natural causes. DR.. Dodds
also talked with DR.. Eastman, who at one
time attended Mrs. Light. In the last year
she has suffered three times from the
trouble that finally resulted in her death.
Owing to the fact that proceedings for
a divorce were begun here there was a
report that Mrs. Light died under rather
peculiar circumstances. The deputy coroner
says he thinks that all such reports were
circulated by a malicious person, who de-
sired to injure DR.. Bowers. The divorce
proceedings were not pushed, as DIR. and
Mrs Light had been reconciled. The other
physicians say that she was particularly
affectionate to her husband and could not
bear to have him leave her side during
her last Illness

The State Board of Health received word
from Odon, Daviess county. that out Of a

example of what he terms the follS of hav-
ing the county health officers appointed by
the County Commissioners instead Cf by
the State Beard, under whose orders they
are placed. THE efforts of the State
Board" said Mr.. Hurry, ARE continually
nullified by its lack of control over county
health officers. The system of the health
government of the State needs radical re-

Vides. For the next few months this Of

to the Reformatory for Girls yesterday. She
was tried in the Criminal Court three weeks
ago. but Judge McCray sent her back to
Jail pending his decision as to her punish
ment. The girl was charged with taking
some rings from the family with which she
lived On the day of her trial "a man came
to Judge McCray and said he would talk to
his wife about taking the girl into their

home could be found for the girl he would
release her on a suspended sentence. II
seems, however, that satisfactory arrange

A Neat Sw..ndIiug Trick.

The latest swindling game was prac.
tlced successfully the other day at Ben.
ton, Pa. Two men, who appeared to
be strong silver and gold advocates,
were in the central depot and became
involved in heated discussion. The
gold man offered to get gold double
eagle that If he hammered the coin into
a shapeless mass 1t would still be worth
$40. He was ostensib!y taken up by
the silver advocate, but when 1t came
to selling the lump to Jeweler Roth the
store was closed. James Hagerty, a
strong sound money advocate who
stood by and who had implicit faith in
the value of gold, gave the man 500 for
the battered coin. The two enthusi.
asts disappeared shortly after, and then
1t was discovered that the metal left
by them was spurious.
