New Tax Law Red ces the Assessed Val
uation of State Property,
The state of Indiana loses S30,000,000
in assessed valuation, as compared
with last years figures, as the result of
the law passed 10y the last legislature
permitting destruction of mortgages
from the tax duplicates. In spite of
this decrease, however, state finances
are prosperous, the treasury being
100000 better than the auditor aDticl-
pated in his estimates.
The state has paid $4,000 on its
debt during the year. The balance in
treasury has greatly increased, and next
year the auditor estimates the receipts
vii exceed expenditures by $4,000
Notwithstanding increased prices, all
the institutions have kept within their
appropriations, and, next year the state
debt will be cut down 100000 more.

UNITED BRETHREN.

There was good attendance and in
terest at sll services. The morning
theme was, "Elijah in a cave" The
prophet had deserted his post of duty
and had hid in the cave and while there
the voice of God came TO him as in the
text saying, what dOest thou here,
Elijahy There are those today who
like this respondent prophet, when
things do not 60 their liking, desert
their posts of duty and retire from &C.
tive service. 1t will do for bears and
ground hogs to hole up but prophets
and christians should never do so.
The theme at night was, "The Ark of
the Covenant brought to Jerusalem"
Text: Oh. b. 3, "Let US bring again
the ark of our God to u.s.
The ark which contained Gods law
had long been at Kirjath-Jearim and
King David gathered together 10000
people and went to fetch.it up to Jeru-
salem, but instead of following the law
of God he imita ted the example of the
Phiilstines and placed it upon a cart to
be hauled by oxen and he failed in the
project, but three months later he un-
dertook it again after the plan that
God had ordained by having Levites
bear it on their shoulders and the task
was accom- plIshed. Numerous lessons
were cleaned from this incident of the
bringing up of the ark.
The Sunday school which is doing
we'll under the new management, is
taking steps to secure new Sunday
school song books. A committee has
been appointed to make the selection.

Graded According Pensions Indiana
Ranks First.
Indiana leads as a pension state be-
cause Indiana has been leader as a
soldier state. The annual statement of
the pension department mas just been
issued. In round numbers the states
drawing the highest pensions are Ohio
with Sl5,OO0O00; Pennsylvania, $I2.-
100000; New York, $l2,0O0,000; lndi-
ana, $l0000,000, and Illinois S9,OC0,O00;
Indiana has $1,000 pensioners who draw
an average pension of fraction over
$3.50 per annum, and $50 veterans of
the civil war who are drawing the limit
of S72 a month, and seventy veterans of
the civil war and one of the Mexican
war VINO are drawing $50 month. In
the number of pensioners and number
of high pensioners in the averagr of all
i'll the state, Indiana leads any other
state in the Union by q broad margin.
Indiana, with a population OF 10000
less than that of Massachusetts by the
census of 1890, receives in pensions
S10542, 900 annually, while Messschu-
sets gets but S5,32O,OOO Similar COM

gate the records of county officers in
Marion county, report that Ex-
County Treasures Holt and Schmidt
owe S44,oI3.33 and S27,727.34 re-
spectively. The experts found that
these officers loaned the county its

made that many other county treas

thing.

Presumably a Fraud.

A man who gave the name of George
a representative of a certain Chicago
publishing house, canvassed Laporte
two weeks ago for medical book and
made advance collections amounting to
500. He left the city and has not been
heard from. 1t has been ascertained
that no such publishing company as the
man professed to represent is in exist
ence. Bovine failed to pay board bill
due one of the hotels. He went from
that city TO Valparaiso and worked that
town. He has not yet been located.

WILL TEST THE BARRETT LAW.

IndiaDa's street Improvement Act I'm
pugned i'm Federal Court.
Attorney j. A. HindmaD, of Hartford
City, went to Indianapolis last week
for the purpose of filing a complaint in
the United States circuit court, asking
that the city of Portland be eDjoined
from making an assessment under the
Barrett law on the property of Mary f..
Shewalter.
The complaint AYERS that it has been
heretofore impossible in case of this
kind to procure justice in the state
courts, and that the Barrett law is un-
constitutional, from the fact that street
improvem ent assessments are the same
no matter what the value of the prop
erty.
The Barrett law, although several
times held to be constitutional in the
Indiana supreme court, has never been
tested in the United States circuit court,
and the result will be looked forward
to with great interest by people all over
the state.

The question, which has often
arisen in Indiana gas belt cities,
whether company which receives
bonus in consideration of locating
a factory, which means that the
town practically buys its location,
has the right to move away after
operating the plant, is to be tested
at last. The people of Middletown
are convinced that the tin-plate trust
intends to dismantle the plant at
that point. Already portions of it
have been moved away, and work
now under orders indicates that
what is left will be moved away,
probably to Anderson or Elwood,
where larger plants are located. A
committee of Middletown citizens

corning the matter. The town gave
a bonus for the location of the plant.
The business and other interests of
the town depend greatly upon its
continuation there and its operation.
Should it be moved away the prop
erty would be vacated and there
would be much loss in all lines of
trade. The question of equity is to
be the issue and it will be taken into
court. The case is somewhat COM
plicated by three sales of the plant,
but it is claimed that the bonus con-
sideration will hold. The ultimate
result of this case will be watched

Indiana, says the Frankfort
Times, claims the distinction Of be-
ing the first government, state or
nation in the world to pledge care
of the insane. She was the second
to erect a government or state in
sane asylum, one in the Carolinas
leading in this respect. Since IS43,
when the Indiana Legislature found
it necessary to take up the question,
and in 1865, when the state took
more advanced grounds and adopted
the policy that all of the insane,
both durable and incurable were
wards of the state.

1t is strange the way events often are
shaped to help those persons who put
forth an intelligent effort to help them
selves. When the horse market became
demOrslized a few years ago, many
farmers who had been engaged in
horse breeding became totally discour-
aged, disposed OF their surplus horses
for whatever they would bring and
made no provision for continuing
longer to breed horses Because for
time they could buy horses cheaper
than they could raise them, these farm
ers assumed that it would always be so.
Those who were more far-seeing reas-
oned that In horse breeding, as in other
lines of farming, period of depression
would be followed by revival of the
business and so did not neglect to keep
up reasonable supply in order to be
prepared when any advance should
come, to take advantage of the more
favorable situation. AS they expected,
although long delayed, it finally came.
But events for which they were not
looking are now taking place, which
makes the future prospect for them
brighter than they anticipated. The
war in South Africa is creating a de-
mand for both horses and mules, which
will be likely, if it continues very long,
to raise prices still farther. And even if
it ends in very short time, the demands
from other sources will prevent prices
from going below what they are now.
Those who obtained the idea that the
horseless carriage and the bicycle would
drive horses out of use and so lost their
faith in the business Of horse-breeding,
cannot now put themselves in shape to
take advantage of present conditions,
but must simply be content to observe
what their more enterprising nelghbors
are doing. This circumstance, like
many others that are similar to 1t,
should teach men that the way to sue
coed in any line of industry or any bus
mess is to stick to it persistently and
not become disheartened because of the
depressiOns which are sure to come
from time to time.-South Bend Times.

Elkhart Prisoner Returns to His Home
After Serving Eighteen Months.
William III. HolGeman, of Elkhsrt
county, is one of the seven prisoners
who were parOled Wednesday by the
prison board, and returned to his home
last Friday. Holdeman served IL
months of an ind,terminste sentence,
the minimum of which was one year.
The prisoner was sent up for the en-
bezzlement of something like $4,000
while he was treasurer of Elkhart coun-
ty. Ever since the expiration of his
minimum term last March Holdemsn's
friends have been appealing for his re-
lease, and if the expression of certain
Elkhart county papers was criterion
of sentiment in that cou3ty there was
disapp ,intment there every time the
board met since March and failed to
act upon Holdeman's application.
