street improvements in Kokomo. All work
on the streets has been stopped. the people
declaring they would not pay the per foot
assessments" The notices were served on
the contractors yesterday. The property
owners base their action on the recent Bak-
er-Norwood decision. which they say, holds
the Barrett law unconstitutional. As re-
suit the contractors suspended work and
the streets upon which work had been
started are likely TO remain in a torn-up
condition for some time to come. The con-
tractors say they will not proceed until the
city guarantees payment. The brick Is On

Armstrong has refused to sign the improve
ment ordinances and the bonds, the latter
having already been sold however. the pur-
chasers taking their chances without the
mayors signature.
In speaking of the matter last night Mr..
Kern said the case which the Kokomo peo-
pie are pointing to as precedent in sup
port of their stand was suit in Norwood,

damages by the Supreme Court of the
Chlteu States. Inc town authorities opeHeu
a street through her land, paying her for
the ground used and afterwards assessing
her property on both sides Of the new road
way. The case was q peculiar one and the
Supreme Court decided in Mrs. Baker $
favor, on the question OF actual benefits de-
rived from the opening OF the street. Mr..
Kern says that in the Kokomo matter he
thinks there is no doubt but that the prop

Improvements are liable to assessments, as
he believes the Barrett law 10 be consti-
tutional Notwithstanding the ruling in the
Baker-Norwood case, which he thinks is not
parallel with the Kokomo litigation. II the
stand taken by the Kokomo property own
ers should be upheld by the law he says
all street improvements now in progress
throughout Indiana would necessary come
to halt. as the Barrett law governs all
the street improvements in this State.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.
Duties OF These Officers Under the
New Reform Law.

Attorney General Taylor has received
many inquiries as TO the duties Of the

2 From the 18th day of April. 1899, town.
ship trustees should report all their acts
and doings 10 the township advisory board
at it's annual meeting, on the first Tuesday

1889.
4. From the 18th day of April. 1899. all
estimates, contracts, expenditures and re-
ports OF township trustees are governed
by the acts Of 1859.

are not applicable 10 township trustees be-
tween the taking effect of said law and the
first Tuesday in September, 1899. While this

DEWEY DAY CELEBRATED.
Addresses and Music and Patriotic
REGULATIONS.

Dewey day was celebrated last evening
ct the Y. NJ. G.. A. but only enough people
TO fill about one-third OF the hall turned
out to hear the addresses. Ex-Mayor Denny
presided. and Miss Martin gave patriotic
recitation The first address was by Adj
miral Brown. He reviewed the battle OF
Manila and paid high tribute 10 Admiral
Dewey and his men. He gave as the prime
reason for the great victory the marksman-
chip Of the American gunners. and said the
liberal allowances of the United States gov
eminent for target practice resulted in this
victory.
Ex-Judge Advocate Jewett, who arrived at
Manila about ten weeks after Dewey's vic
tory. was the other speaker OF the evening
He said the extent of the victory could not
be appreciated by one who had not seen
the place where IL was won. The Asiatic
fleet was not strong IN armament or size
and, in the face OF great odds. went into
the bay and won this complete victory
Colonel Jewett said the Fflipinos are not a
savage people. He stated that he knew
Aguinaldo well. and had been TO his house
but that the American people did not seem
70 realize the hatred OF the Malays for the
oppression they have been under for years.
The system In vogue under Spanish rule
was far more barbarous and severe than
was contemplated by the Madrid authorities.
Fflipinos a hatred for the government which
has been transmitted from father TO son
and which has TO knowledge OF other OPP
position than revenge by blood This Is the
lasting passion with Malays, he stated. So
far as the work Of the United States army
is concerned, IL is no more than TO simply
protect life and property. and both life and
property are safe In Manila to-day as in
Indianapolis. The army which has collected
under Aguinaldo desires 10 establish mill
tary oligarchy, which would be savage, bar
barouss and more oppressive than the rule
of spain. The Filipinos are. he said now
into savagery and barbarism, or they may be
led into civilization and education, and he
expressed the hope. as Admiral Dewey had
said. that the United States flag might
Fever be lowered from over the islands.

He was largely instrumental in building
Central Christian Church and was pastor
there for seven years. He has been pastor
of the Sixth Church for three years The
Rockford church is rather a missionary en-

FLEET ATHLETES.

At the annual championship games of

Amateur Athletic Union, June "a, the one
hundred yard dash was won by A. F,
Duffey in the phenomenally swift time of
ten seconds The SS0-yard dash was won
by w. M. Moran in two minutes, one and
two-fifth seconds. The pole vault was
won by J. f. Powers on his record of
0 feet 9ha inches. Powers also
won the running broad jump by his
score OF 20 feet and three fourths inches
and the putting of the l6-pound shot on
his score of Al feet inch.
Duffey, Moran and Powers are three
Worcester Mass, students, and on the
occasion noted they won five firsts and
two second prizes. All three have proved
themselves wonders in many an athletic
contest during the past year, as have all
other Worcester athletes, some one of
whom holds the championship for about
every sort of sport Worcester is the
city in which the shredded whole wheat
biscuit is made and herein is the secret
of the success of its athletes. The stu
dents of Its various and many educa-
tional institutions eat the biscuit for
breakfast. lunch and dinner, They train
upon it, and its superiority is shown in
the scores of victories which stand to
the credit of the Worcester boys. The
shredded wheat biscuit contains the
whole of the wheat, is thrice cooked,
and has nothing but the perfect whole
wheat in its composition.
