Simplicity in graduating dresses is a
theoretical term, considering the many
ruffies which adorn them, nevertheless
soft fabrics, such as orgsndy, cotton OF
silk null. nainsook, dotted Swiss mus
lin, or point d esprit net are ID the
ascendancy, and China silk is also
used to limited extent. An
overskirt outlined by ruffles is quite
as fashionable as the real overskirt
and with a plain material ruffles are
usually edged with lace. The acces'
series necessary to point d'esprit net
render it expensive, as silk Is the &C
copied lining, and the rufiles must be
edged with white satin ribbon
A lace yoke and sleeves puts the fin
ishing touch to majority of handsome
dresses this season, and while simple
tucks and insertion easily made at

naissance lace yoke and sleeves involve
a large expenditure. VERONA CLARK

The reelection of Supt. Marks
by the vote of 7 to 8 on the first
ballot plainly shows that the trus-
tees of the county as well as the
teachers and people in general re-
CARELESS of party utilization, appre-
ciate the conscientious and faithful
service of the present incumbent.
Three of the democratic truste es
favored close friends on the first Eal-
lot, no doubt thinking that there
would be no election without num-
Der of ballots. But it must be said
to the credit of the four republican
trustees that they supported MIR.
Marks TO the man. We say this
without disparagement of the other
candidates. No doubt they are
equally capable, but it is fact that
MIR. Marks has shown himself
worthy of the position and there
could be no excuse for turning him
down. Right here it might be well
TO call attention to the wonder full
influence that the republican paper
has over its own party men. 1t has
repeatedly attacked MIR. Marks, en-
deavoring to convince the people
that he is incompetent to act as SUI
perintendent. Not only did it fail
to convince democrats but even re
publicans discountenanced the at
tacks and today when a new super
intendent was to be elected, all four
of the republican trustees voted for
MIR. Marks. The Independent is
not in politics but it simply takes
this opportunity to show what little
influence the republican paper has
over the members of its own party
in Marshall county.

Judge Hess at Pierceten,

The following is an extract from the
Pierceton Record whose editor COM
ments highly on Judge Hess speech
made there on Decoration Day:
"The address by Judge Hess was a
mastery effort and clearly indicated
much labor and research in its prepare
ton. The speaker dwelt at length on
the late war and the intricate questions
that have grown out of it. His stand
on the question of expansion WAS radi-
cal in the extreme, but viewed from
the standpoint of an ardent patriot 1t
was hot unwarranted The editor of
this paper is not an expani0nlst, but
with Judge Hess he believes that when
the stars and stripes are once planted
on any part of the terrestrial globe,
they should never come down, unless
with honor to Uncle Sam, until the en-
tire resources of this glorious nation
are exhausted. The speaker gave due
praise to the young men who enlisted
in their country's service In the Cuban
war, but he said the greatest measure
of praise was, and always will be, due
the old veterans who preserved the ma
ton during the dark days of 81 to So >

Obituary Of William Lloyd, alias Buffalo

Monday occurred the death of Wm.
Lloyd, familiarly called Buffalo Bill,
He died at the Windsor house, and
gave up his life without show of pain
This afternoon the body was taken to
Oak Hill cemetery and inferred with
appropriate ceremoney.
VIM. Lloyd was a unique character.
So far as is known he has not relative
on the face of the earth. He was born
so it is said, in New York, went to
Ohio at an early age and some time in
the fifties came to Argos For a num-
Der of years he was foreman of a saw
mill in that town. When the war broke
out although at an age which made him
ineligible by draft, he volunteered. join
ing the I'D regiment, company +, under
Miles Tlbbetts After the war he set
For several years he dwelt on the Hess
farm leading a sort of a solitary life
with nothing but his bottle to keep him
company The bottle was, in fact, the
overshadOwing fault Of his life and had
it not have been for that he might have
lived to have been hundred years old
instead of dying at the less advanced age
of So. Several years proceeding his
death he was an inmate of the soldiers

Seeming Conflict of Laws.

In regard to the two seemingly con-
dieting laws relating to the transfer OF
school children from one school dis
trict to another, Frank l.. Jones, State
Superintendent of Public instruction
says he will be guided In his action by
the special cases that come under his
notice. He has not yet formulated any
certain course to follow with all the
schools. One of the laws provides fol
the payment of so for outside school
privileges for one child for a year, and
the other specifies that SO month fol-
high school instruction may be paid. Ii
IL not thought that the seeming conflict
will retard township trustees from
sending children to high schools out
side the district, and paying tuition al
the rate of So month where required

bears a remarkable contrast to that of

walked into Barney Ocher's saloon

hurry. He first presented a ten dollar
bill for change, and then, hardly taking
time to breathe, called for a drink say
ing ne had not moment to sacrifice
The man behind the bar, with his usual
Willingness to accommodate, hastily
changed the bill and drew the drink.
In the confusion of the situation, how
ever, he forgot that he left the cash till
on the bar instead of replacing = in the
safe. While the first man was urging
him on and complaining about the
time occupied in getting the drink, the
second stranger appropriated the till
and escaped unobserved. In one gulp,
the man in hurry downed his drink
and rushed outside. Nothing was seen
of either of them afterwards, although
the officers have been on the alert since
The till contained over $110, so the loss,
is clearly seen not TO be small.
