The highest income received during
any n year by the state land board
Of which Governor Osborne was presi-
dent, was about $12,s7O. But the in.
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment OF Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing Of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $50, $685. 9. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government. without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands, 341,77O acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue Of $17,oss. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
Of Wyoming the annual expenses Of
the county government to the tax pay
ers Of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum Of 1870, 909.51. As a result OF wise
legislation and a republican governor,
and as a result Of the thorough and
painstaking work OF the present state
examiner. and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although the number Of counties
has been increased, the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to $3.50, O98. SO, or a saving of over
$4,000 per annum to the taxpayers of
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be COL
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws OF this state and from
insurance companies whereby the
annual income Of the state has been
increased W. a year of the Osborne
administration from $4,000 to the sum
Of $4,000. These are but instances Of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and amtnis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John E.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress. for neglect Of duty in leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history Of the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house Of representatives
on the adoption Of the declaration Of
war for humanity and the maintenance
Of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
is a paryt that fulills its pledges and
always ad1,eres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number. we fear no criticism, but sub
NIT our record to the most scrutinizing
investigation.

asked, "How do you like him?"
"Not at all" was the newcomers

Osteopathy Once More.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
While the question of osteopathic legisla-
ton is being agitated allow me to say few
words in reply to the article written by
Fremont Swain in the Journal of Nov. 30.
He knows that he is protected by his med
ical diploma, and he is afraid that there will
be bill passed allowing graduates of the
twenty-month schools of osteopathy to prac-
tice in this State without being prosecuted
by M. DIS who are prejudiced against its
practice; and he knows that If twenty
month graduates are recognized by law as
physicians that people will have no more use
for fake osteopaths, as that will allow
enough of the twenty-month graduates TO
come into the State to take care Of the
practice. Mr.. Swain says: 1.-THE Still family
clique is now furnishing the snews of war
to secure the passage through the legisla-
lures Of the several States of bills legalizing
practice. by osteopaths of twenty months
study. This is ! eng done ostensibly to
benefit suffering humanity and the gradu-
ates of the American School of Osteopathy,
but really to increase the patronage ana IN
come of said school and its accompanying
infirmary."
1t is true that the Stills are trying to get
legislation to compel schools OF osteopatny
to make a course of twenty months but IN
stead of it's being for the Stills own benent,
it is for the reason that the subjects taught
enable the graduates to do the best work for
Iheir patients in less than that time. 1t
would be far more profitable to the Stills TO
turn out graduates in four and six months
instead Of twenty months, but they are the
ones who have more interest in the science
than any one else, and they desire to see 1t
maintained at a high standard and not
dragged down to quackery and humbuggery,
as a school at Kansas City, another at
Quincy and the two and three-months
graduates have tried to do. The motive OF
the Stills is to place time on the course or
instruction that will be a guarantee to the
public; it is not the Stills interest that they
are looking after, except so far as 1t might
help their interests by turning out doctors
who would, by that course, be credit 10
their profession and be able to help the sick.
Another assertion that M. Swain makes is
incorrect, and that is that the osteopaths
claim that drugs, diet and regimen are un-
necessary, useless and harmful in the
curing of disease We do claim that the CIV
ing Of drugs is harmful useless and UNI
necessary, but no true osteopath ever mad
a case where he thought the regulating OF
the diet would help the patients but what
he did his best to regulate it. / would adj
wise Mr.. Swain to go to some good school
OF osteopathy. as the American School at
Kirksville, and get a thorough knowledge or
osteopathy. He would get a course OF four
terms of five months each instead of four
terms of six months each as at medlcal
school, and his head wouldn't be stuffed full
of materia medica and medical therapeutics,
but he would know some anatomy ana
physiology. BERT e. MAY, ID. ..

Suggestion as to Commercial Club
NaminC an AttOrneX

suggestion as to commercial Club
Naming an Attorney.
There has been a suggestion that it would
be proper for the Commercial Club to sug-
gest an attorney to conduct the investiga-
ton of the park scandal when the subject is
taken up by the Council. 1t is said that,
naturally enough, the Democratic members
of the Council might be open to the sus-
picion of shielding the administration as
much as possible and that in order to guard
against such an idea gaining credence, it
ought to be conducted by disnterested out
siders, who would go to the bottom of
things. The idea is that an attorney, or
more than one, if it is considered necessary,
ought to conduct the examination Of the
witnesses that appear before the committed
Councilman Smith was inclined to think,
yesterday, that the Council was able to at
tend to it's own business, without calling on
the Commercial Club. He said that he
wanted a full and complete investigation
and was in favor of giving the committee
the most unlimited authority.
II believe" said he, that every one who
knows anything about the subject should
be compelled to come before the committee
and tell all he knows / am in favor of a
public investigation"
Mr. Smith intimated that if he Were on
the committee he would insist on a most
searching examination.

HERMAN PASSEHL GUILTY.
Sentenced for RObbing "a Farmers
Turkey ROOst.

Herman Passehl, twenty-five years old,
living near Brightwood was convicted of
petit larceny in the Criminal Court yester-
day. He was charged with robbing the tur-
key roost of Frank Hansng, farmer living
near Lawrence. One night, just before
thanksgiving, Hansing was aroused by a
commotion in his poultry yard. He ran out
and frightened away two men, who left
horse and wagon and twenty turkeys in the
vehicle. 1t was dairy wagon and on the
side was painted a name. This gave Han
sing a clew, and, arousing some Of his
neighbocs, they went directly to the home
OF Herman Passehl, near Brightwood They
reached Passehls about O'clock While
some of the men watched the house, others
went for the police and the young man was
arrested. He denied that he had been near
HansinSs place during the night, and said
he knew nothing about how his fathers
wagon came to be there When Passehl was
arrested the police found a pair of mud
covered shoes that belonged to him. and
these shoes fit the tracks found on Han
sings premises. Judge Afford gave Passehl
a sentence of from one to three years in

CITY BONDS SOLD WELL
AN ISSUE OF $4,000 TAKEN AT LESS
THAN IA PER CENT.
Only Run Ten Years at That-Eighto
cen Offers for Citys
Securities

Controller Johnson was very we'll satisfied
with the proposals received yesterday for
the issue of $4,000 of refunding bonds. The
Merchants National Bank, Of this city, was
the successful bidder, getting the bonds for
$112,5S0.60, premium Of 81, $4,000. The bonds
are to run ten years and bear interest at
the rate Of 31s per cent. Taking into con-
sideration the premium paid, the investment
will net the investors 1923 per cent. Eighteen
bids were opened. The Lamprecht Brothers
Company, of Cleveland, was the lowest
bidder, offering but $3.50 premium. The
bids were opened at noon. Late in the after
noon William H. Schmidt, county treasurer,
received letter from Denison, Prior & Co..
of Cleveland, incloslng a sealed bid. 1t was
postmarked at Indianapolis at 2 D. M AS
this was two hours after the time advertised
for receiving the bids, Mr.. Johnson decided
not to open the sealed bid when it was hand
ed to him by Mr.. Schmidt. 1t was returned
unopened.
Bond buyers who were here said that the
premium obtained was the best and the in
terest the lowest that had ever been secured
on Western bonds that come up to the re-
quirements Of the Boston savings banks.
Mr.. Johnson would have been very well sat-
isfied If he had been able to refund the bonds
at 312-per-cent. interest, without more than
enough premium to pay the expenses. The
city will save on the transaction about IS, CO.,
Counting the premium received, the interest
on tine bonds will be but 1923 per cent.

those circulating in the lobby. Representa-
tive 3. NJ. Willoughby stopped over for the
evening to see how his canvass for the
speakership was coming on, and it was a
beautiful sight to see Willoughby, Iittleton
and Shideler together and to hear each
claim majority of the caucus votes. Rep
resentative Q. A. Blankenship, of Martins
VILE devoted the evening to getting ac-
quainted with his fellow members who are
here A very busy man was Sol A. Penning-

He was a candidate for the same position
four years ago.

Creenbouse PIants and Coal.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The recent order given by the superin-
tendent of parks for ten carloads of coal.
coming, as it does, in the midst of freezing
weather and a scarcity of gas, is rather
suggestive. The thought Of six large
greenhouses, with a capacity Of 10000
plants, one large room used exclusively for
housing palms and banana trees" may be
a matter OF pride and satisfaction to large
property holders or to those Immediately
interested, but to the shivering small tax
payer this knowledge is not conducive to
content. His idea of a park is a place
where he can sit in the shade and breathe
fresh clean air, while his children play on
the smooth, cool green grass. The spatter
of the fountain, the miniature lake or the
running stream adds greatly to his salts
faction. A few Towering shrubs and vines
and modest flower beds in suitable places
are not Objectionable, but he is at loss to
see where 10000 plants are to be disposed
of. He had supposed that the recent pur-
chase Of 300 acres was intended to secure
to lovers of nature the beautiful natural
scenes he remembers so we'll He recalls
with a thrill of delight how, in times past
when ne went a-fshing to the clear streams
he gathered in the early springtime the
delicate spring beauty, the wind flower and
crocuses, dear little things, not too over
grown, gaudy things of greenhouse growth.
Later on came the VtoletS, maiden hair
fern, wild roses, then the aSters, and he
gathered May apples, wild grapes and paw
paws and pennyroyal and catnip. Is it pos
sble that these 10000 plants are TO take the
place of what he had hoped to see some
time again-when times were better and he
could save enough to hire an express
wagon and drive out with his family along
the dusty road, in full view Of sluggish
dump-shored streams? He had entertained
an idea. Also that parks were for the
''beautifying of the city but in magma
ton he still pursues his weary way. Per-
haps he may yet find his lost youth in lit
tie bouquet of wild flowers, when 10! sud
denly, under the branches of a widespread
oak, there bursts upon his view an artistic
bed Of gorgeous tulips. We can conceive
the shudder OF disgust: Just then the gas
fiicKers In the crate and goes out. The small
taxpayer mutters something. His thoughts
come free and fast, and he relieves himself
thus: LAS a general thing ! am opposed to
trusts and corporations and things, but III
say this: If we could get up a combine be-
tween the true lovers of nature and the
common-sense people and force the city TO
give us our share OF greenhouse plants in
coal now. with a reasonable per cent. off,
l would take stock. -
