The current crop of wheat in
this vicinity is nearly all cut, aad
much OF it is in stack. In some lo-
calities the grain was badly lodged
and considerable loss resulted, the
heads dropping below the cutter bar

has been found profitable to rake the
field after the binder.
The quality and yield is varied.
from very good to discouragingly
light and poor-although there will be
a fairly good crop, although not
nearly as good as conditions three
weeks ago indicated.
The first wheat marketed was on
August 5--the earliest for years. 1t

Milling Company, graded No. 2, and
was locked one pound to the bushel.

SCOTTSBURG LYNCHlNG.
state officials Disappointed mt the
Grand Jury's Action.

The state officials, while disappointed at
the failure of the grand jury to bring in
dictments against the Scottsburg lynchers,
are not very much surprised at the result.
1t can be said that the case will not be per-
mitted to end thus. Attorney General Taylor
is averse to making known his plans, al
though he admitted that there were further
steps that he could take. When asked what
the next move would be he replied:
u cannot tell YOU
THAT is not saying you do not knoW!
He smiled at this interrogatory.
Mr.. Taylor had great latitude at the coro-
ner's inquest and as there were no defend
ants represented by lawyers, he was able to
ask many leading questions that would not
have been permitted by attorneys for men
on trial. The coroner's inquest was really a
court of inquisition and sworn facts were
obtained then that could not have been ar
rived at under any other circumstances.
WAS all the evidence you secured placed
before the grand jury?' Mr.. Taylor was
asked.
Again Mr.. Taylor replied: 81 cannot tell
you He added, because / do not know. =
SionS of the grand jury. He explained that
every one who goes into the grand j. ry
room is sworn not to reveal what he learns.
1t is the intention of the State to renew the
prosecution. The failure OF the grand jury
to indict will not prevent it or a new jury
from going into the case again. Mr.. Taylor
was inclined to believe that no indictments
had been returned because the jury wanted
to be sure it had good case first.

The COMPANY'S SUPERIORITY

The Union Trust Company does all kinds
of business in the management of property
that an individual can do. Besides its great
financial ability and responsibility it can
give the very best service for the following,
among other reasons;
THE TRUST COMPANY is more cautions
than the individual, moves more safely and
has invaluable reputation which its man.
ayers are ever Jealous to protect and en-
hance.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S acts are open
and not secret. They are always partici-
psted in by several and thereby dishonesty
is made impossible.
THE TRUST COAIPANY'S charges are
more reasonable than those of the indvid-
ual, for 1t has in its own office and law de-
partment every facility for performing many
duties that ordinarily would have to be
given out to others at heavy expense to the
trust.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S affairs are en-
tirely removed from every species of specu-
lation. All investments are made by it's
finance committee, thus enlisting the COM
bined wisdom, experience and capacity of
several successful men.
THE TRUST COMPANY keeps a clear
and complete record of everything it does,
which is subjected at regular periods to
rigid scrutiny by the courts and the state
authorities

any one fund is exhausted without permlS-

some rules down which will govern the pur-
chases and enable the trustees to come to-
getheF, and in buying large amounts by
competitive bids will be able to get the price
very much lower than when they bid on
their individual account. / am receiving
quite q number of Endorsements concerning
this bill as one of the practical ways to solve
this vexed question and at the same time
not overthrow the existing form of govern

ture. / shall be pleased to hear and re-

FOOtiights Have No Glamour for This
City's Chinese.

The footlights do not shine for the Chi

TO engage two Chinese-even offering them
as much as 81 a performance-to 'go on
in the cake walk following the singing of

The real Chinese who is a member of the
company called on the Celestial laundrymen
OF the city and tried desperately TO find
even one with the dramatic spark in his
bosom, but in vain They gave him to un-
derstand that their dignity was too precious
to be made to suffer by their selling them
selves to make other people laugh. No,
they would not accept and they didn't
think much OF a Chinese who would

Absence of the FIag.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
I would like to inquire what's the matter
with the stars and stripes and the Indiana
House of Representatives? Is there an
estrangement between the two? Not star
nor a stripe or patriotic emblem of any
kind was displayed during the ceremony
electing the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge
United States senator. This neglect in not
displaying the flag over the speakers ros-
trIm should not be- If the flag is good
enough 10 be displayed over the speaker 5

of place in our own Indiana House. Let

Mr. Roots,n Townshin Reform BiII.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
desire to call attention to the two bills
which / introduced concerning the govern
ment of township trustees In the first
place. / believe the trustees of the State
of Indiana are in the main honest men and
desire to do what is right, and they and no
body else will object to laws which Will
have the effect to conduct the county and
township business on a business basis. / do
not wish to record myself as being opposed
to the omnibus bin as presented by a COM
mission outside of the Legislature, but, gem
orally speaking, the fate of a radical meas
ure is abortive and comes to nothing. 1t
was so with the Geeting bill in the last
Legislature; it was so with the monetary
reform BILL which aimed at the overthrow
of the national banking law, whereas if the
mighty business influences which were be-
hind the convention had been directed in
securing a few amendments to the present
law, which has been the pride of the Nation
and amended it so that banks of S25, 900 cap
ital could organize, permit the bank to issue
to the par value of the bonds, take the tax
off the circulation or reduce it to its actual
cost, pay out greenbacks only in exchange
for gold no doubt this could have bssn ac-
compllShed. And so in regard to the con-
tirmation Of county and township govern
ment.
The origin Of the bill which | introduced
was suggested to me on account of my OBJ
servation of the splendid methods of pur-
chases which is in operation in the penal,
benevolent and educational institutions of
the State which came under my observation
while serving on the committee of state APP
propriations during the last month, in which
visited all these institutions. Each
month all the necessary supplies are placed
in a book and subjected to open and free
competition, the result of which is TO get
the supplies 10 a minimum in price and quail
ity. Recently / was at the Statehouse when
the bids We're opened concerning the Central
Hospital for the Insane, and will state one
or two Illustrations to show how close the
bids were, as for example on groceries.
One bid was 81. 1866, another was SiI75.23,
another S117426 The bid was awarded to
the lowest who got it by difference of %
cents. In the -four contracts one bid was
