To Cure Consumption.

The New York state board of chart
ties has taken an important step in the
effort TO establish a state sanitsrium for
the treatment of consumption and will
ask the incoming legislature for an ap-
preparation for this purpose.
1t has been fully demonstrated ty
physicians that consumption is durable
and preventable disease and the object
of public institution is to take cases
in the early stages and give them proper
hospital treatment. In this way many
precious lives may be saved and made
useful TO the world.
1t is estimated that $4,000 persons in
New York state are consumptives and
| that 1900 die of the disease annually.
This seems q terrible sacrifice of life
when with little outlay from the pub
lie treasury and the exercise of science
and skill and careful nursing much of
the fatality could be prevented.
1t is statistical fact that complete
cure can be effected in so TO IS per cent
of consumptive cases if taken in time
and this leads the New York board of
charities to demand law, in connection
with a request for state institution, to
compel local authorities to provide hos
pitfalls for the treatment of patients suf-
fering from this disease, and also estab-
lish isolated ssylums for the contine-
ment of those who are past the durable
stage, in order to guard against con-
tagion. The matter is worthy of careful
consideration by every state, and by
adopting the advance methods proposed
by the New York health authorities a
vast amount of good could be accom-
plished.

Thursday evening, at her home in the

present to take their places around the

twelve out of that number, and Mart
Rober, on the other extreme, to have
won three. The prizes were awarded
accordingly. Before the company
broke up, they were served to boun

prohibition circles in Washington town
ship and was = pastor in Goshen
church in "a and 50, and more recently
of Elkhsrt, has been current on the
streets of Goshen for the past four OIL
five days. 1t is said that the gentleman
of the cloth has deserted his wife and
four children in Elkhart after resigning
his position with his political party and
as a worker in the church. Those who
are most familiar with the situation say
the mans peculiar conduct is due solely
to his mental condition, his mind being
affected by siege of stomach trouble

disappearance the name of an Elkhar'

Mr.. welborn Has Been Done Injustice.
On the 5th of December, during the
absence of the editor of this paper, an
article appeared in our columns giving
an account of an alteration between
Mr.. Mel Welborn and sam earns which
resulted in each paying a fine for as
sauIt and battery. The same article was
copied in the Marshall County indie
pendent on the 8th of December. If
the article:had stopped there no injus-
tice would have been done anybody, but
it did not
Our reporter undertook to give the
cause of the difficulty and it was stated
that Mr.. earns had reported that some
of their chickens had disappeared and
that the charge was made that Mr..
Welborn was the cause of their disap-
pearsnce. This rumor or charge should
not have been mentioned in our paper
and would not have been published had
the editor been at home. Mr.. Welborn
and naturally feels that We have done
him a great wrong.
After fully investigating the facts
and after learning Mr.. Welborn's stand
ing among his neighbors in the CON-
munity where he has lived many years,
we have no hesitation in saying that we
haliava tho IpdaDaDdanf WAS imDosod
upon, and that such charges and insin-
uations against Mr.. Welborn are with
out foundation in fact.
From all we can learn, Mel Welborn
is an honest and industrious citizen,
and we hereby withdraw and retract
every statement and insinuation made
in the article that reflects in the slight
est degree on his good name.

President b. +. Johnson, Of Benton

ent Byrket, of Htnry county, spoke Tor
some time on the consolidation of
county schools, the plan of which is to
gradually merge the smaller schools

to think the country schools offered
SCHOLARS better opportunities Tor know

structon the country scholars did not
have their time taken up with amuse-
ments, and spent their evenings in
study.
After the appointment by the presi-
dent of committees on claims and reso-
lutions, Amos w. Butler, secretary of
the state board of charities, read a
paper on advantages and Disadvan-
tages of the Present System of Public
Care of the Poor"
After citing many statistics and re-
ferring to the critlsms of the new poor
law, he said:
ave felt that under the rules laid
down and the methods indicated in the
law the Overseers of the poor would be
greatly helped; that they would find the
new acts to be of advantage to them In
the better administration of their Of
flee; that they would have the benefit
of the advice and counsel of the board
of county commissioners in doubtful
cases. We thought the only dlsadvsn-
tages of the law would be here and
there where it was not thoroughly en-
forced; that it was necessary to give
some thought and attention TO it in or
der to tit the cases presented to the re-
quirements of the law, and in my
opinion if this is given and there Is a
proper cooperation between the town
ship Overseer of the poor and the county
authorities a satisfactory understand
ing can be reached. Every case of need
and distress would be cared for. 1t is
not necessary that anyone should suffer,
and at the same time it will be possible
to prevent eny imposition from being
practlced upon township officer
B. X. Kramer, of Lafayette, followed
Mr.. Butler and was very bitter in his
attack upon the new laws, saying the
state board of charities, members of
which did not come in contact with the
people needing help, was in no position
to frame rules and regulations for the
guidance of those who were obliged to
look after the needy.

Chicago not Eager TO Have Conventions.
Chicago, to judge by some of her news
papers, is not mour ming over the loss
of the republican convention. They
say that the national convention is q
nuisance; that it does not make trade
but interferes with it. They declare
that the delegates and spectators spend
little money except in the hotels and
restaura lts and that they are in the
way of people who are trying to carry
on legitimate business. They contend
that this is no case of sour grapes; that
Chicago has had many national conven-
tions and knows just what they are
worth. There is perhaps great deal
of truth in this. Indianapolis as con-
vention city has had vice and varied
experiences. But it has not been all of
the kind that Chicago records. In some
cases conventions help business here.
The opportunity of special railroad
rates is improved by people who come
for business purposes, and 80 direct
benefit is realized. In other cases the
conventions are of the kind that Chica-
60 speaks of.-Indianspolis News.
