The infant as soon as nature with great
pangs of travail hath sent Il forth from
light lies like a sailor east out from the
waves naked upon the earth, in utter want
and heiplessness, and Ills every place
around with mournful wailiugs and plteous
lamentations, as is natural for one who has
so many ills OF life in store for him. so
many evils which be must pass through
and suffer

life of the Republican street commissioner
was made a burden to him because he en-
ployed men to work on the streets whose
names were not certified to him by civil
service board. The Indianapolis News was
the leader and chief inspirer of the nom
partisan civil-service policy of the Denny
administration.
1t is well-known fact that Mayor Tag
CART has not made any pretense of enforc-
ing the provisions of the charter providing
for civil-service commission and COMPETE
tive examinations. and vet the Supreme
Court has made this a part of his duty The
Indianapolis News, after declaring for two
years that it was a most important ISSUE
has become silent since Mayor Taggart
ignored the requirements of the charter. In
it's support of Mr.. Taggart it applauds his
policy of ignoring the nonpartisan require
ments of the city charter That which
would have been a crime in Mayor Denny
is business and a faithful discharge of duty
in Mayor Taggart. Such is independence!

several brick houses were seriously
damaged, and some shaken down com

was holding Circuit Court when the
shock occurred. left the building. along
with the lawyers and others present.
For a week or more before the shock
people throughout Giles county were
much disturbed by subterranean noises
and all day Monday detonations like the

throughout the county. As TO the crack
