JAMES A. MOUNT.

The intelligence of the death Of ex-Gov-
ernor Mount comes to the people Of Indiana
as did that of his predecessor. Governor
Matthews. like fiashsof lightning from
clear sky. Like his predecessor. his death
will be mourned as widely and deeply as
could the death OF any man in the State
He was known to as many people in Indi-
ana as any man who has been Governor,
and 1t is not too much to say that he en-
joyed their confidence and esteem as few
men have. During his term of Office Gov
ernor Mount constantly grew i'm the regard
OF the people, because they saw that he
was devoting himself to their interests.
They knew that he was sincere man, who
not only had high ideals of the public serv-
fee. but lived up to his professions. They
knew that he fought for and carried TO sue
cessful accomplishment many reforms in
public administration. In all the years to
come he will be spoken of by the masses
in Indiana as the 'good Governor and the
sincere advocate of all that makes the best
in citizenship.
Governor Mounts career was most re-
markab'e one. He was born 20 poverty.
His toll tegan when he was old enough to
work. Whatever education he obtained he
wrested from the most discouraging condi-
tions. He entered the army a private and
won promotion to the rank Of sergeant by
faithful and gallant service. Coming out of
the service he entered his Iifegork, and
~,
leading farmer of the State. But, while he
was making his way financially he did not
forget his duties to society. He was al
ways a jealous helper in every good cause.
He was an earnest and sincere Christian
man who carried his religion into his daily
life. He never apologized for the faith
that was In him. but maintained his high
convictions of moral and religious duty
wherever he went. He had the courage of
his convictions. What he believed to be
for doing it that it right Ex-
pediency had no place in his conduct, pri-
vate or public; and yet he was tolerant of
the opinions of others.
At this hour, when we can scarcely real
ize that he is dead. when his kindly and
patriotic utterances of only last Monday
are yet ringing in our and are being
read by the people whom he so much loved
and whom he so bravely, Loyalty and ably
served. We cannot speak of his talents and
the use he made of them. He was a
capable man, but. what is infinitely better,
he was, in the highest sense of the word,
a good man. Indiana is much better for
having such son to serve her. and in the
years to come he will live in the good works
he has done for the people and in his Chris
tian and manly character. 1t is because
he toiled so necessarily to promote the in
terests of Indiana in his office that he has
fallen in death when his duties were ended.
But he has fallen victor

nival last fall. No shows of any character
shall be given there and no fence shall be
erected about the monument. Mr.. Horsneld
also introduced an anticigarette bill
The reading OF bills was interrupted
long enough for the ,rk TO read a message
from the Governor announcing that he had
this day" appointed Charles E. Wilson
his private secretary. Mr.. Wilson bore the
message to the House.
Representative Neal, at the request OF
the Union Ministerial Association OF In
dianapolis, introduced a measure providing
that an announcement from the pulpit or
place of worship. ten days previous to the
election of trustees, that such election
would take place. should be deemed suf-
fcient notice. Mr.. Neal requested that the
rules be suspended and the hili passed.

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.
Ruling of an Omaha Court to BE Com
sidered by the Convention.

CINCINNATI. o., Jan. 16.-The National
Building Trades Council to-day referred the
annual reports of the officers and many
resolutions TO the committees, which were
instructed to have partial reports ready for
the session tomorrow morning. Among
the resolutions referred was one protesting
against the ruling of the Omaha court.
that contractors have the right TO organize
as long as their rules did not conflict with
the antitrust laws. IT was held that when
an agreement was enforced that members
of unions were prohibited from working
for anyone except members of the contract
ors' association. then the contractors
agreement became an injury TO the public
by shutting out competition and depriving
members of unions of the right to work
for whomsoever they pleased. as said con-
tractors might have work. The resolu-
tion claims that such agreements are illegal
and in conflict wits the antitrust laws.

PEPPER PROLONGS LIFE.
Indians Use 1t and Live to He Over
One Hundred Years Old.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 16.-Temple Hous-
ton, son OF Sam Houston. was here to-day
from Woodward. o. T., and told about how
Indians in his neighborhood had used pep
per to prolong life. Houston said:
II see a great deal of stuff in the news
papers about salt being used by medical
men TO prolong life. / am no sort of doctor,
but / know one thing. and that is salt is
not in IL as a iife-prolonger when compared
with pepper. l have lived for the last
fifteen years among the Indians, and my
father spent the latter portion OF his life
The reason for this Is that they use large
quantities OF pepper in everything. / know
a great many squaws who lived 10 the age
of 40 years. and they told me themselves
that the reason OF this was because they
ate lots of black and cayenne pepper. 1t
