he opened up cyst near the top of the
tree in which he found thigh bone, to
all appearances that of human being
| The bone was not entire. Only por-
ton of it which contained the hip ball
remained, Sam is inclined to be SEN
timental regarding the strange find.
He thinks perhaps that the bone once
belonged to a Red man. Some romance
may be connected with the tree and its
secret, which is however, buried in the
| far past and can not be known.

self to be appointed a member of the
township or county council, as the ap-
pointing power may desire, for the first
term IF service. AS we said the other
day, the peoples judgment of the real
utility of the law as a measure of re-
form will depend upon the way in
which it is made to operate the first
year, and Its real efficiency will depend
upon the methods devised for Its ad-
ministration. The latter will be largely
determined, in many details, by the
kind OF men which constitutes the
initial council.

4 Neighbor's View of Ii.

Senator DrummOnd is out in pro
clamation to the peOple-the democrats
of Indiana-in which he reads the In
dlanapolis Sentinel and its editor and
Its publisher out of the democratic
party. The trouble is due to some diff
ferences between the democratic mem
bers of the legislature and the Sentinel
concerning the reform legislation for
the management Of township and
county affairs, and Drum mond and his
associates are determined 10 wreak
organ. To do this they propose to
start a democratic paper at Indianap-
Oils So far as the Post is concerned, 1t
can see neither wisdom nor good pol
itics in the movement, but in order that
these gentlemen may put their judg
ment to the test, let them launch the
new organ; let them put up their cash.
Let them fill the vacancy which, in
their judgment, is so large and conspic-
uous. IL will not hurt the Sentinel
either politically or financially. If the
Sentinel hasn't been democratic paper
through and through during the present
ownership, then we do not know what
democratic paper Is. 1t was the only
metropolitan paper of any consequence
in this part of the union that supported
Bryan in 1896, and its course has
always been consistent with democratic
platforms and policies. 1t is the judg-
ment of this paper that the Sentinel
erred in bestOwing so much praise
upon the democratic members who
voted for the reform bills, but the
Oftense was not great enough to Justify
the attack Senator Drummond saw fit
to make. BY all means, though, let
the aggrieved senator start new paper
and let him be made editor ia chief,
party dictator and the whole thing, If
the democrats of the state do not OBJ
ject. Please put the Post on your ex.
change list, Columbia City

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.

The Sixty-first general assembly
of Indiana adjourned sine die at $50
Monday evening, after the usual two
months session.
The legislature went out of ex-
istence with record for expendi-
lures above anything known in the
past. The appropriation of $685.
600 it was found at the final sum-
ming up, was inadequate to cover
the extravagances attendant upon
the wholesale patronage, and the adj
ditional sum of $4,000 was appro-
priated. The governor squirmed
some at this, but was induced to
sign it. Previous assemblies got
along with $IoS,ooo appropriations,
and usually had $4,000 or $4,000
left.
In the senate there was an at
tempt to pass the Vincennes uni
versity bill over the governors veto
but it failed.
The house gave up an hour yes.

late Governor Claude Matthews
Speeches were made by Whitcomb

One night last week some one who
| lives north of town was standing in their
window and gazing at the drifting snow
when an uncommon spectacle greeted
his eyes. Two horses came by YEARLY
plodding through the deep drifts. On
each horses back was young man and
behind, and clinging tightly, was a
feminine figure. Later it developed
that the young men were plymouth
boys who had taken their girls sleigh
riding. 1t so happened that their sleigh
became hopelessly wrecked in big EN-
bankment, and when seen they were
making their way home.
Las. evening bob sled party got
stuck in the ditch some where in the
neighborhood of the fair ground. When
the horses, under the stimulus of the
drivers whip, made an effort TO regain
the road, the hobs and contents were
dumped on the ground in an ignOmin-
ious heap, and the bob sled was broken
so that further progress was impossible.
The driver mounted one of the horses
and hurried to town to secure the proper
parts needed in repairing the sled =.
Meanwhile the jolly crowd, little hurt
by the accident, Joined In an Indian war
dance and thus kept themselves warm,
until the return of the driver. 1t was
but the work of moment to put every
thing in order. Several hours of good
sleighing followed the accident.
| James Parks, of b room of the Plym-

to the question asked by the Indepen-

His answer appears as follows: "Chas i.
Ousterhaut was one of the first settlers
of Marshall county. He came here in
1882 with Samuel +. Tabor and others
and settled on the Michigan road south
of Plymouth, Mr. Ousterhaut making
his home about one and one-fourth miles
south and Tabor making his about
three miles SOUTH" The above simple
historical question which has been real
conundrum to the schools cholars and, II
may have been to the teachers, should
have been as easy as the ques ton, Who
was Columbus? Would it not be a
good plan to devote two or three days
out of the ten years the average scholar
attends school, and give him little ia
sight into the history of his own county

Senator Drummond has issued a
letter to the democrats of the state
calling for subscriptions for fund
to start new democratic paper at
indianapolis. The senator is to be
congratulated for his staying quail
ties but all familiar with the news
paper business will doubtless advise
him to handle his newspaper project
with gloves on. unless there is an
enormous fund back of it. 1t will
be remembered that the Chicago
Chronicle started with s., 100000
behind it and that it is not on pay
ing basis yet. A few years ago
Clarence Clark, secretary of the Wis
consin democratic committee, under
took to start a paper in Milwaukee.
Clark published splendid journal
for just thirty days and wound up
affairs with a deficiency of nearly
100000.
Running a newspaper is certainly
a noble ambition, but it is a risky
undertaking especially by men who
have not been schooled in news
paper management.
A newspaper that is started fol-
spite seldom lives. We do no
know that the new project for the
indianapolis paper is so grounded
but it is certain that such an i'm
preston will prevail in all parts Of
the state.
If there is big fund back of the
movement, the project will event
ually win if properly conducted, sc
the Independent believes, but un-
less there is such a fund accessible
for four or five years, the indie.
pendent would advise Senator
Drummond to leave the newspaper
project severely alone.
