LINCOLN INSTITUTE BOARD.
Meeting of the Board at Jefferson City
The Dickev Investigation
Was Taken Up.
From the st. Louis Republic.


AT meeting of the Lincoln Institute
Board held at jefferson City the
Diekey investigation was taken up.
After argument by attorneys, tho
board adopted the following as Its tind-
ing in the case.
fsIn the matter of the investigation
of charges that J. W. Dickey had, as q
member of the Board of Regents OF
Lincoln Institute, in 1896, offered to
accept bribe for his vote in connec-
tion with the consideration Of plans
for new building of said institute
"Resolped, By the Board of Regents
of said Lincoln Institute, after full
investigation of said charges, that the
evidence introduced In said investiga-
ton is Of such character that this
board, after mature deliberation,
decides that in Justice to itself as a
board and to the public it cannot
exonorate said ]. w. Dickey of the
charges made by one w. ID. Thomas
with reference to his (said Dicksy's)
alleged offer to accept bribe in 1895,
in connection with the consideration
of the plans for the new building for
said Lincoln Institute.
Resolped, Further, That the conduct
of SAID Dickey in this matter has been
such as to completely destroy his
future usefulness rs member Of this
board"
The resolutions were adopted by
the votes of Henry, Heinrich, Cahoon,
Kirk and Gordon; total. s. Green
refused to vote. He is the colored
member of the board.
Dickey made a speech to the board
and with tears in his eyes he declared
his innocence. The board appears to
base its findings somewhat on the fact
that Dickey has stated and published
that the board, at the meeting ON
August 9, 1897, had exonerated him,
when in fact the matter was not taken
up at all. The Investigation was a
public one and all who desired heard
the evidence. ~

home, one mile distant, Mrs. p. s.
Morris was thrown from buggy, and
painfully, though not seriously, injur-
ed. In the vehicle with Mrs. Morris
was her daughter law, Mrs. Chas,
Morris. While entering the gate Of
her husbands farm, Mrs. Morris
horse became affrighted at the noise
of some tin cans in the buggy and
started to running. The vehicle wai
overturned and both ladies thrown Il

capped without injuries, but her moth

verely. One ugly cash in the fore
head required forty stitches by Dr.
Mayes TO be sewed up. We hope Mrs
Morris may soon recover.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Patent attor-
neys in this city, and there are hundreds
of them. are greatly disturbed over the
discovery that the commissioner of patents
is engaged in "A secret codification of the
rules of practice in that office. The num-
ber of rules has been reduced from DO to
ninety-five. and the attorneys fear that a
new deal is about to be effected which may
operate to their disadvantage, hence they
are in arms and insist on the being heard
before the new rules are approved and put
into effect by the secretary of the interior.
The Patent Office is full of rottenneSs and
scandal There are leaks by which owners
of great money making patents are able
to know of new inventions in their lines
almost as soon as applications are filed for
patents. although the Patent Office is sup
posed to be enveloped in secrecy There is
a perfect network of subterraneous wires
for the transmission of private information
of confidential character from the in
terror of the Patent Office TO the rooms
of influential attorneys in the employ of
great corporations and manufacturing
concerns. and it is only natural that law
yers should fear innovations that would in
any way disturb relations.

dertaking TO do all the law business in the
city 1t has not yet been announced who
he would associate with him, and there is
more or less speculation to the compo-

that Mr.. Thurber, his private secretary,

there is some talk of a renewed alliance of
Mr.. Stetson. who was with Mr.. Cleveland
during the Harrison administration. and
who figured very actively in one or two of
the bond deals OF the last two years.

great deal of talk clothing him with an
ambition to be the Democratic nominee. or
