Postal Banks Needed.

At recent meeting of the Indi.
ana Bankers association at Indiana
polls Mortimer lowering, of Lafay.
ette, recognized as one of the bes,
financiers in Indiana, made an ad
dress on postal savings banks in
which he said: The government il
in a position to manage this thing
through its present post Office sys'
tenn, and will scarcely increase the
expenses Of that department, while
it will enhance the accumulated
wealth Of the people throughout the
whole United States. 1t was thought
that building and loan associations
would care for the savings Of the
masses, but people have become
of them. 1t is well
known that lawyers in Indiana are
as much as 10000 a year
out OF these institutions, and officers
are making much money out Of
them. We all know that trust COM
panies are not organized as eleemo-
synary institutions. We want a sys-
tenn Of savings banks that are for
the poor people. What greater
pride could man have than to
think himself a depositor Of the
United States?

Thursday, Oct. 80, 1897, at 4
O'Clock A. NJ, our beloved brother,
GEORGE w. KELLAMs, died.
He was only sick one week, until
he was called away to his eternal
home in Heaven. So young to be
called away; but God is no respect
er OF persons. He leaves a wife
and broken hearted family, besides
his many friends to mourn their
loss:
Oh! Mary now is lonely, and all the rest
left here,
Our loved one was called away-the one
we loved so dear.
The happy home il broken, their dear
one is gone to rest,
And they'll all meet in Heaven, with
the loving, pure and blest.
Yes, know he is safe in Heaven, re.
joicing on the shore,
With all the bright earth's loved ones,
that God has called before.
His spirit left us in the dawning OF the
His soul to Heaven on snowy wings was
borne.
But Wen prepare to meet him, and join
the happy band,
When God shall call us home to that
fair and happy land.

The Electric Engineer of Oct. 80,
publishes the first authoritative ac-
count ofThomas A. Edison's suc-
cess in recovering by electrical
means the iron contained in low
grade ore. The inventors expert
ments have been carried on during
the past six years at the old Ogden
iron mines, few miles from Dover,
N. j., where he has built up plant
covering several acres of ground,
and which, after many experiments,
is now capable of producing daily
from 1000 to l, 800 tons Of almost
chemically pure iron.
The ore worked contains on the
average about % per cent of iron,
and resembles in appearance very
poor quality Of gray rock. Mr..
Edison states that there are 200, 600,
600 tons of this ore on the land i'm
mediately surrounding his plant,
from which can be produced so,
900, 900 tons of iron.
His process, in brief, consists Of
blasting the ore from the mountain
sides and then by means Of steam
shovels and miniature railroad cars
conveying it to the massive crushers,
where it is broken up and passed
on to other mills, where it is pulver-
lied. The powder is then allowed
to fall in close proximity to electro
magnets, which defects the iron to
one side, and the non metallic mat
ter falls to the other side by gravity.
From the time the ore is blasted
until it is resolved into this metal
lie form and compressed into bri-
qnettes for shipment the process is
entirely automatic.

JASPER, Ind. Oct. 29.-One hun
dred and forty-three indictment
were returned to-day in one bunch
by the grand jury. The majorit,
of cases are for alleged violations 0
the liquor law and some of the lead
ing citizens are included in the list
For months past Jasper has fur
nished instances Of people not il
the saloon business selling liquo
without the required license. Th'
practice became SO general tha
many of the saloon keepers grew
bold and disregarded the law. A
the late county fair half a dozer
men were arrested and taken tC
Evansville for alleged violations o.
the internal revenue laws. They
were given a hearing in the United
States court and discharged becaus,
of lack of evidence. The practic,
has continued SO quietly that tn,
authorities were unable to ge
enough information to make thu
charge stick.
The grand jury has been in ses
sion seventeen days and will proba
bly, adjourn to-day. 1t is thought
the Legitimate saloon-keepers, fol
the sake Of protecting their owr
business, are instrumental in having
all the alleged offenders indicted
Nothing has ever occurred here ia
cause so much Of an excitement
among the citizens. The arrests O.
the supposed guilty persons will
produce several sensations.
FATHER AND Son ARRESTED.
Father and son, well-known, ont
charged with stealing a pair o
shoes the other with forging ar
order, lie in Jail at this place. 1t il
a peculiar coincidence. Fred. Hen
zle of Celestine, Ind, was arrested
to-day by Sheriff Cassidy, on an af
fivadit sworn out by ex-Townshif
Trustee John Meschede, who
charges the prisoner stole the shoes
from him. A few hours later the
father of young Henzle came to Jas
per to get him out Of Jail. The
former was completely taken by
surprise when he was arrested on
the charge of forging an order on
Jacob Seng, a merchant of Celes-
tine, Ind. Both men will be ar
raigned at the present session Of the
circuit court.

For Working People.

The Rev. John Adams, New Mil
ford, H., says: "Postal savings
banks, in my opinion, would be a
particularly good thing for the coun-
try places. Take my own town,
for instance-New Milford. We
are six miles from Rockford, where
there are savings banks, but our
working people cannot afford to take
the time to go there, and conse-
quently have no other place than an
old stocking oi re chimney to put
their savings. When these people
are saving any money it is particu.
larly necessary that they should
have perfectly safe depository and
this would be afforded by the gov.
ernment postal savings banks. -

A Syndicate Trick.

Inc 81. Louis fOst Dlspatcn pup
lished the following lucid explana.
ton of the scurvy trick played or
the people Of the United States by
President Mckinley in regard to the
: ale of the Union Pacific railroad
SIN the report CT the consent Of
the governments attorneys to the
separation of the sales of the Union
Pacific main line and the Kansas
Pacific division may be found the
explanation of the additional bid OF
So, ,000,t 90 offered by the reorgani-
zation committee in order to have
the sale of the Union Pacific take
place on November l..
"The Kansas Pacific in now a
branch of the Union Pacific without
terminals. Separated from the
Union Pacific it starts nowhere and
runs nowhere. 1t is of value only
to the owners of the Union Pacific,
who control both ends of the line.
"But the government has lien
of $13 100000 on the Kansas Pa
cific. If the main line ofthe Union
Pacific is sold to the reorganization
com .nittee there will be no other
bidders for the Kansas Pacific. The
lien of the government will then be
at the mercy of the Morgan syndi.
caty.
"But the Kansas Pacific is in
cluded in the reorganization scheme,
and if the government insists upon
a sale of both properties at price
which will meet the governments s
claim in full the reorganization COM
mittee will have to yield. The
Union Pacific is the governments Is
lever TO raise. the price Of the Kan
sas Pacific.
"The agreement of the govern
ment's representatives to a sale of
the Union Pacific alone means that
the government will gain $S, 600, 900
and place a claim of $13, 900, 900 at
the mercy of the purchasers. 1t is
incredible that President Mckinley
would consent to such patent trick
for the benefit of the Morgan syndi-
cate.
There is but one way to protect
the people and secure the full
amount of the governments claim.
That is to insist upon the sale OF
both properties, which are now con-
solidated, at price which will sat
isfy both mortgages.
