Owing to the tardiness Of the new
assessment. the collections for the Pub
lie School Tax up to the 18th of last
June the date of the close Of the School
year, were short, and the amount distri-
buted to the schools, while being every
cent collected up to that date, was con
sequently, according to those receipts,
and therefore below the amount usually
distributed. But the promise wa, then
made by the Treasury Officials, fully
relying upon the increased basis under
the new Law and prompt collections
thereof, that the next distribution Of the

MIRACULOUS MUD.
Found at the Indiana Mineral Springs,

neying There From All over the Conn
try to Battle In the Md.

A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread at
tention. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs, Warren county, and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno- Lithia
springs Through countless ages the
foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into a basin
and has been reduced by nature into a
a pure black earth unmixed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
ing it with mineral salts, until now
there is a layer of medieated mud
about two acres in extent and from ten
to twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
der, Sam Story,-who had brought
rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with it for years. He was
| attempting to dig a drainage ditch
through the mud deposit, and after
| indulging in this useless experiment
for week or more, gave up the idea.
but meanwhile had been cured of his
| rheumatism.
The fame of the mud began to spread
and afflicted congregated at the springs
from everywhere! The method of us
ing the mud was at first very primi-
tive, the patient merely sitting down
in the deposit where nature had laid
| it. But since then improvements
have been made. beautiful hotel
erected, and the mud bath developed
into a luxurious experience. The ac-

A BURGLARY.

The residences of DR.. S. M.Applewhite
at III Herff street was burglarized last
night and suit of clothes and case
of surgical instruments were stolen.
When DIR. Applewhite awoke this
morning he began search. In the
yard he found a pair of gloves, and
going into vacant lot, adjoining his
residence, he found the clothes and the
case of instruments. 1t is believed
that there were two in the burglary
and that they entered the house
through the front door. which was left
open on account of the sultry night.
DR.. Applewhite had taken some money
out of his pockets before he retired and
the burglars failed to find any cash.
