Bill Provides for the Payment of Indiana
War Claim.

Bill Provides for the Payment of Indiana
War Claim.
A dispatch says Senator Fairbanks
will introduce bill authorizing the
court of claims to adjust the claim for
S606,979 Of Indiana against the federal
government for equipplng troOps for
the civil war. The passage of the bill
will mean the payment to the state of
that sum from the federal treasury, as
the equity of the claim is admitted by
the officials OF the treasury. Deputy
Comptroller Maynard held that the
claim could not be paid.
In all opinion rendered Thursday on
the claim which has recently been re-
vived by Dudley IL Kitchener, attorneys,
Deputy Comptroller Mitchell holds that
the Maynard decision was an error.
Mr.. Mitchell points out that the state
of New York has received mo icy
through the court Of claims in a case
similar to that presented in Indiana.
Relief can only be obtained through
congress, and Senator Fairbanks will
take the initiative.

Good Words for Ron Thomson.

Ronald Thomson, who has so faith
fully served this paper as local news
writer during the past year severed his
connection Saturday III order to pursue
his studies at Indiana university at
Bloomington, for which place he de-
parted Monday. The publisher of
the Independent knows of no young
man whom he could commend more
highly than he does MIR. Thomson.
During his connection with this paper,
he has shown himself to be q careful,
palnstaklng, ambitious, industrious,
faithful and, above all, a strictly hon
est young man. Such qualities are
winners, and, wherever he may try his
fortunes, we bespeak for him abundant
success and al equal amount of graft
tication to anyone who may secure his
services. 1t is likely that he will take
law course at the university in con-
nection with regular college work.

what every careful woman vino raises
flowers does for her flowers. If she has
many she enjoys it the more. 1t is an
error to suppose the kindergarten Is
only 2 sort of nursery, where children
are sent to get rid of care, or TO think
they can only learn the habits of un-
loyeabe children, or that 1t is d school
where learning is forced into them and
where they have TO study. 1t is more
like a museum where they meet other
children; see and hear things new to

amused; where they learn to make
things like those they see; and where
they are greatly benefited.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is au-

ator Beverage, of Indiana, has de-
clined an invitation TO take part in
the Ohio campaign this fall for the
republicans, and the reasons given
are that Beverage is not in accord
with the administration on the ques-
ton of expansion. The Enquirer
adds, "The senator's trip abroad has
weakened his belief in the expan-
sionist policy. He recognizes the
fact that he might speak without
abiding to the Philippine problem,
nut said to friend he feared that
questions might be hurled at him on
the stump from some of the intelli-
gent voters who may want enlight-
eminent on that subject"
