BUSINESS WON'T BE DELAYED.
II Revenue stamps Are Not Ready
Other Means VIII he Provided.

There seems to be no foundation in
fact for the rumor that the delay in
issuing the new stamps under the reye-
nue. law is at all likely to interfere with
the progress OF the wheels Of commerce.
The tobacco dealers have all been
stocked to their capacity by the jobbers,
who themselves provided against any
possible contingencies.
The stock of tobacco dealers was as
sessed upon their own valuation. The
breweries are running as usual, and a
rubber stamp has supplied all necessities
up 10 the present.
As for the stamps TO be affixed to
checks, drafts. and other documents, II
is expected that they will be forthcom-
ing by July LIST. but even IL they are
not some other means will be provided
to meet the emergency.

CLARK IS EXONERATED
THE TRUSTEES ACCOUNTS SHOWED
NO EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
Certain UnbusinessIike Methods
which Commissioners Suggest
that He Improve Upon.

The County Commissioners, county audi
tor and county superintendent, acting as q
board of investigation, yesterday concluded
the examination of Francis M. Clark, trus-
tee of Wayne township, against whom
charges of irregularity in keeping his ac-
counts had been preferred by John Osman,
postmaster at Ben Davis. The board rem
dered a finding. in which it admitted that
Osman had right TO demand an investiga-
ton of the trustees affairs, although Coun-
ty Attorney Brown in his remarks said it
was serious thing for one citizen to prefer
charges of fraud against another and
particularly grave matter for citizen to
charge an officeholder with fraud.
The board declined to sustain Osman in
his charges against Clark. 1t was found
however, that there have been certain ir-
Irregularities and unbusiaesslike methods
pursued by Trustee Clark. as in the case of
Clarence E. Clark, teacher, who was paid
by the trustee the sum of S2735 for janitor's
service out of the tuition fund, when 1t
should have been paid out of the special
fund. The trustee was ordered to transfer
the amount from the special fund to the
tuition fund, where ii rightfuliy belongs.
In concluding its finding the board suggest
ed that the trustee be more careful in the
future in the management of his several
funds. Clark admitted in his testimony that
no was a farmer when elected to the office,
and did not know much about bookkeeping.

GEN. GORDON'S LECTURE.
The Ex-COnfederate Chieftain Intro
duced by Admiral Brown.

One of the best entertainments of the Y
M. G. A. course this year was the lecture
last night of General John 3. Gordon, of
Georgia, who told CT the Last DAYS of
the Confederacy." Nearly every seat in
English's Opera House was taken when
General Gordon stepped on the stage with
Admiral George Brown. AS the two
veterans appeared there was a CHATTER of
applause. Admiral Brown introduced the
speaker, who for two hours commanded
the closest attention OF the audience.
General Gordon stood beneath the Amer
lean flag which had been draped above the
stage and he frequently paid ELOQUENT
tribute to the colors. The gifted Georgian
is well qualified to tell the story of the
last days of the Confederacy, for he stood
high in the councils of the South in those
days and was in command of a wing of
General Lees army IN the final conflict
with General Grant. His lecture was in
'tenSely interesting 1t was full of pathoS.
but there were occasional flashes of humor
and bright satirical remarks, as the vet
eran soldier and statesman related some Of
the incidents that sometimes frightened
those WOeful days. General Gordon says it
makes no difference now who won the bat
ties of the late war Every victory won by
either side was monument to American
Niior. He paid high tributes to General
Grant and General Lee and many of the
officers of both armies. The stars in the
flag above him. he said, would grow bright
err because they now represent the power
OF an inseperable Union OF the women of
the North and South he spoke in glowing
terms. HI told of meeting, about the time of
the battle of Gettysburg. a Northern wom-
an who he called the Heroine of the Sus-
quehanna." In comparison with her, he
spoke of her Southern sisters. He had seen
the glorious women of Southland sending
forth their husbands and sons and fathers
to the front He had seen these women
stand at the open grave which held all
their hopes, and in the Heroine of the
Susquehanna" this Northern woman he
found their counterpart.
General Gordon predicted that in the
wore the gray would be found side by side
with those who wore the blue bearing the
American flag to another victory, and this
banner, he believed, would wave forever
over Cuba.

LOUISVILLE BUTTER. /"
Government Wants Settlement with
Local GrOcers.

When the oleomargarine establishment
near townsville was seized by the govern
rment officials, some time ago, the books and
accounts of the concern fell into the hands
OF the revenue collectors. An inspection of
the books showed that about one hundred
grocers OF Indianapolis had been selling the
output OF the Ziorsville establishment.
Within the last few days these merchants
have received notices from the revenue Of
fee informing them that they have been
violating the law by selling oleomargarine
without a license. The notices further
stated that these offenders must pay the
amount OF a license and an additional pen
atty, amounting in each case TO about $50.
The merchants who handled the product of
the louisville factory protest that they
bought the stuff for butter. and paid butter
prices for II.
A meeting of these grocers has been
called for this afternoon at Robert Drake
grocery house on North Meridian street 1t
- the intention OF the merchants TO raise
the question Of the validity of this penalty
on the ground that they were innocent pur-
cnasers OF the goods, and were themselves
tie victims OF the fraud.

The Selection of a Trustee
INDIANA's LEADING JEWELLERS.

The popular tendency toward the Trust
Company as a trustee is easily found when
comparisons are drawn. Every one has
knowledge of an individual trustee who has
defaulted and robbed those whom he was
appointed to protect. No such experience
ever followed the appointment of trust
company to any such responsibilities. If
any trust be committed to an individual.
there is no assurance that he will live TO
execute it, or that he will keep in such
health as will enable him to give it the
proper attention Unexpected mental de-
rangement may come to him, and if in
health he will need recreation or he may
have business of his own that takes him
away from home al a time when the inter-
ests of the trust demand his presence.
The Trust Company never dies: 1t never
abscondS; it is never away on vacation; it
is never sick; it is always at home, and it's
existence is not affected by war, pestil-
ence or famine" Above ALL it is always
responsible, and has an invaluable reputa-
ton which it's managers are ever jealous
to protect and enhance.
The Union Trust Company offers it's serv-
ice to ell in need of a trustee.
