Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 13.-The County
Commissioners this afternoon made public
the experts report on the examination of
the county clerks office during the incum-
bency of David III. Flynn, late candidate for
state treasurer before the last Republican
convention. The report charges that Flynn
has collected s13, $50. So in excess of the fees
turned into the treasury. Credits reduce the
amount to about $40, 900. There is also in
volved $1,2O of sherif's fees under Gaddis,
which Flynn is charged with having COL
lected and failed to turn over. The report
has been on file for some weeks and In eff
fort has been made to secure a settlement,
but this failed. To-day Flynn and his at
torneys refused to accept the correctness
of the expert showing. The commissioners
will at once file suit for full amount Of
the claim. and in behalf of the State suits
for penalty, which Is equal to the shortage,
will also be brought. The publicity of the
alleged shortage has created a great deal Of
comment in all circles.

NATURAL GAS AT TERRE HAUTE
Comes to the Surface and Not Neces-
sary to Drill for It.

ERR HAUTE. Ind, June 12.-Naturai
gas has been discovered In this city under
Lost peculiar circumstances. On last Sun
day John Gurdeen, a young man, while
idling on the bank of the Wabash, drove an
iron bar into the sand and smelling gas
struck a match and held il over the small
and shallow hole. The flames sprung up
into the air M burned his hair and eye
brows. Since that time hundreds of people
have visited the place and last night many
experiments were made. At the point where
the gas is escaping a cavern occurred last
year, threatening the Vandalia Railroad
bridge. The sand from the spring freshets
washed into the hole and Ii is estimated
that from forty to fifty feet OF sand Is de-
posted there. Gas experts say that the
pressure of gas must be enormous to force
its way through this amount of sand and
the strong flow indicates that something
more than a poke has been struck.

The Two-Ounce Limit.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

Prof. Atwater's announcement that two
ounces Of alcohol a day do no harm, but
act as fuel for food. will come as welcome
news to those that want TO drink and like
to nave their conscience bolster up their APP
petite. Prof. Atwater Is the government ex-
pert on alcohol. and the whole scientific
world is said TO be watching his experiment
with bated breath. Many a man will take
his pint OF wine with a more comfortable
feeling now, as also his occasional cocktail.
Two ounces of alcohol will make an amount
of drink TO satisfy any ordinary drinker;
and those who do not quite come under this
mead will at least have the comfort of think
ing that they are doing themselves no harm
by the first four or five drinks they take.

COmmercialism in Sports.

SAiACdBO 4lADaACs
The commercial and gambling spirit has
invaded and ruined every kind of sport.
Horse racing was once a and
legitimate p~astime-until 1t fell into the
hands of the professional blacklegs. The
races are now run by the same men who
run faro banks and by the same methods.
Prize fighting long ago fell into the same
~disrepute. Baseball has Of recent years
gone to it's ruin by this fatal road To-day
the clubs are shamelessly swapping play
ers, maintaining FARMS and abandoning
themselves with cynical to the
commercial spirit. There Is not a rag of
true sporting instinct left in the profess
sional ball ring, on the race course or in
the prize fight as these are conducted in the
credulous imagine them to be anything but
the commercial or gambling devices they
are. There is little genuine manly sport in
the United States outside of the colleges.
and even in some of them the field sports
are not free from the Shiny trail of COM
mercialism. 1t Is a state of things that
cannot be looked upon without regret by
every lover Of pure sport.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY. Ind. June 13.-The
Belgian Band, of this city, which p~artici-
pated in the band contest at the Elks' car
nival at Muncie, complains of its treatment.
On its arrival In the city there was no one
TO meet II and direct II to the place of hold
ing the contest. The band marched up town
and around the square until the members
were dizzy. Finally, after much trouble,
the place of judges was sought out. The
band entered IN Glass b, but after the con-
cert was given the judges stated that they
had entered il in Class A. where IL won the
third prize OF so. BY this method they
kept the Hartford hand from winning the
s125 first prize in Glass B, which was car
ried OF by Pendleton. The prize that was
won has not been received yet, and from the
things that happened on Saturday the band
feels IL will not get its money. Three mem
bers OF the Belgian Band were ruled out by
the judges and no reason given The treat
ment OF the Hartford City Band was so out
rageous that the French and Belgian citi-
gems of Muncie nave scored the management
OF the carnival in the local press of that
city.
