Council Meeting.

Monday evening council met and dis
cussed questions with usual alacrity
and wisdom. \ number of minor pc
titions for the building of crosswslks,
ETC., were considered and referred each
to the proper committee Among others
was prayer of uncomm On cOBcern be-
cause it denoted that the popular desire
for street paving had at last material
lied into a real effort to bring about
such an object. The names of most OF
the property owners on Sophia street
had been affixed to the appeal, which
was in substance as follows: That the
street be paved with vltrified brick TO
length extending from its terminus on
Michigan street 10 the western limits of
the Novelty works: said street to be 80
feet wide and DIVIDED in manner so
that the center be paved to the extent of
% feet, while IL feet be allowed on each
side for lawn and sidewalk. After de-
iberati IN the council handed back the
pcllJlOu W IuC PCIlblOuCis WIN tbC iS-
commentator that certain additional
names be secured so that an order TO
pave the entire street might not be
deemed an improperly. This last &C
ton was taken i consideration of the
fact that only seven hundred feet re-
manned after that portion of the street
Il
Of Property owners along this section
were judged to be in favor of paving.
The investigating committee ap-
pointed on street paving declined the
privilege of making report. They
gave assurance, however, that the sub
ject was receiving due attention. 1t is
entirely probable that their report will
be made at next meeting.

Senator Drummond's Open Letter.


State Senator Drummond's open letter
shows up the Indianapolis Sentinel, in
his inimical style, he strips the thin
mask from traitorous and Shiny sheet,
and holds the dirty thing up TO public
gaze in its true colors. Read the open
letter in this issue of the Public Press.
Senator Drummond is one among the
ablest democrats in northern Indiana;
he is an honest, conscientious and true
representative of the democracy Of his
section of the state, and is respected 10y
all who have the honor of his acquaint
snce.
The late Indiana senate, not only
commended his personal conduct, but
with one acclaim rendered the conf
dence and esteem of that body to him
in unmeasured terms. Republicans as
we'll as democrats stayed with him like
brothers.
On the other hand, the resolution en-
dOrsing the Sentinel was speedily laid
on the table by a vote of 4S TO 2 in the
senate.
The Sentinel is thoroughly despised
by the true democracy of Indiana, and
now that It's mask is torn from its hide
Gus face, it will cease to do further In
jury to the party of Jefferson, Jackson,
Hendricks and Bryan.-New Albany

no mistake if you select your fancy
stationary, toiled articles, toilet soap,

been the constant aim of the establish
ment to cater to the wishes of the pub

such failure has not yet come to light.

that his dearest wish was to ride across

part:
We cannot understand why Colonel
Hawkins does not get his star The

and have come to the conclusion that
perhaps it is because brigadier generals
are now being mustered out, and the
president does not want to appoint any
more OIL that account No other plausi-
BILE reason can suggest itself The
colonel wants me to write you to help
get the matter Strengthened out.
'sAll he wants, and all the regiment
wants, is TO have him appointed full
brlgadier and then ordered home with
the Tenth. He does not want a COM
mand and the matter ought to be ar
ranged very easily | understand Gen
eral Mae Arthur has already recon-
mended HIM for tull brigadier
ssThe delay has worried the old man a
good deal, and, between us, he is not in

using the Let HIND.

The superiority Of japanese drawing
can probably be traced to the custom Of
chat land to make the children practice
painting and drawing without the use
of any stick or supporting device for the
hand. They are taught to draw at the
same time they are taught to write the
Eetters of the alphabet. and they are
xaught to use both hands equally in the
task.
The natural preference given to the
right arm has been explained physiolog
zcally by the construction of the veins
and nerves that enter the arms, those of
the right arm being more prominent.
The reverse is the case in the few who
are naturally left handed.

DRAWBACKS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Report to Agricultural Department

WASHINGTON, June 2f.-The agricul-
tural department received an interest
ing report from Lieutenant A. r..
Hayne, California heavy artillery, on
agriculture in the Philippines, dated
Manila. Lieutenant Hayne had been
able to make no personal observations
beyond the American lines, but he
transmitted the translation Of an arti-

terrupton for several centuries, is there
any apparent need Of fertilizers

ing reliable labor, the agriculturist is
confronted at the start with the neces-
sity for an Immense amount of work in
clearing new land. When this is ac.

tors, result from the turning up OF this
virgin soil. According to competent
medical authority many OF these strange
disorders cause death within few
Hours. while from others, even If the

wretched and lingering existence.
Another OF the great difficulties in the
way of agricultural development is the
utter lack Of roads and shipping points.

Senate ELL S..

The substitute for Senate Bill 81
adding the Governor and Secretary Of
State to the Board of Capitol Com
nissioners introduced by Comin@
was again before the Senate yesterday
Mr.. Comins was called upon by
Senator WATSON to explain what good
accrued to the State by adding 10 a
Board already provided for by law.
The explanation was that the Dep
uty State Treasurer, as Secretary of
the Board had all he could attend to
and felt that the duties were an ad-
ditional burden to his Office.
Senator Ernst called attention to
the fact that the Deputy State Treas
urer was not the Secretary Of the
Board and consequently was not
burdened with extra duties.
Senator Comine then stated that
one of the reasons for passing the
bill was that 1t compelled the Board
to keep books whereas non had beer
kept,
If the members of the Senate vii
call at the Controllers office they vii
find that the Deputy State Controlle,
has been keeping a complete set o
books for the Board of Capitol Com
missioners since Jan Ist. and they ar,
open to the public,
