INCREASING VALUE OF BRAINS.


Brains, even in this age of mo-
nopolies, trusts and industrial COM
binations, never had greater value,
says the Cincinnati Tribune. Men
of limited means find that in the
new order of business and industrial
organization and combination they
have better opportunities than were
ever before presented men of their
financial standing.
Their small capital cannot, indeed,
compete with vast accumulations of
wealth under a thorough system of
organized activity, but the wealthy
com blnations demand men of brains
to administer their capital and Sc
cure for it returns commensurate
with the outlay and risks involved i.
In the vast army of men employed
by these organizations there is am
pie room in the front rank for men
of brains. No other can, indeed,
get there. Their brain power COM
mands, besides, the highest enumer-
alton.
Today money is more plentiful
and cheaper than ever before in the
worlds history. Men contemplate
ing the promotion of enterprise,
which, worthy and promising in
character, demand but small capital,
have no difficulty in securing the
necessary money. But they must
show themselves possessed of brain
power equal to the pushing of the
scheme in hand to succeed. The
Will tllC III &C duu dOllltf 10
achieve triumph in any line of bust
ness has no cause to fear want of
pecuniary support enabling him to
surmount obstacles that otherwise
were insuperable.
The great financial industrial and
railway corporations of the day are
giving higher salaries to hundreds
of men than they could make in
profits in any line of business con-
Quoted by them individually. These
salaries are sure and permanent.
Their recipients are, therefore, free
from the care and anxiety hamper
ing and harassing so many others.
This sense of security enables them
to devote spare time to self-culture
and to the improvement of their
home circles.

DIR. Gutscher Receivers His Money.

Columbia City Commercial: Last
Friday DIR. Gutscher, proprietor of the
saDitarium east of Larwill, having q
chance to send some money to town
to bank it, found that $220 in bills,
which he bad placed in q pocket book
were missing. No trace of it being
found, he came to town Sunday morn
ing and notified Sheriff Gslager, who
sent for Detective B. +. Streifling. of
Fort Wayne, who arrived Wednesday
morning at 500 and was driven to the
ssnitarium. After he had been on the
ground for about fourteen hours the
money was recovered intact. As it is
family affair nothing further can be
said about it,"

YOCKEY NAMES DEPUTY.
Clarence Slayter Appointed and Has Ac-
copied Deputyship.

Clarence Slayter Appointed and Has Ac-
cepted Deputyship.
ostmsster-elect J. A. Yockey ten
dered Clarence Slater the appointment
as deputy postmaster immediately
after receiving his own appointment,
or rather Congressman Brick gave Mr..
Y ockey the postOflce with the under
standing that Mr.. Slater should be
deputy if he desired the place. When
Mr.. Slater went TO see the congress
man on Monday, he was told by Mr..
Brick that be could have the deputy
ship. Mr.. Slayter took the matter
under sdvisement until Thursday
night, when he decided to accept. This
certainly is happy solution. Both
Mr.. Yockey and Mr.. Slater are popular
with the public and they are both CON-
petent men.
If the Independent had been allowed
to select the postmaster and bis deputy,
it could not have made more sstisfsc-
tory selections.
Congressman Brick did not even con
slider Hendricks in the selection of q
deputy. This is certainly pouring it
into the editor with vengeance. He
has been set on. and set on hard.

Federal Judge Baker May be OverruIed.
Judge John III. Baker, of the United
States court, received from the supreme
court at Washington last week, num-
Der of decisions, and one of them lndi-
Gates to him that the higher court will
overrule his decision In the Barrett
%, 1860. James a Charles, Marion
real estate owner, brought salt in the
United States court for an injunction
against the city of Marion and the Bar
Der Asphalt company to prevent the
building OF an asphalt boulevard in
that city. Judge Baker sustained the
application .or an injunction on the
ground that the law under which the
Improvement was to be made was in
violation of the fourteenth amendment
of the constitution, on account of its
method of assessment. The decision
of the supreme court is on a case from
another state, but Judge Baker says it
is similar to the Marion case, and he
will not be surprised it the injunction
he granted is dissolved when the SUI
preme court takes up the appeal from
Indiana After reading the decision
} ndge Baker said:
1.-THE ruling of the supreme court in
substance Is as follows: The four
teenth amendment of the constitution
was not intended to and does not ex-
tend to the subject of the power of the
legislature to levy taxes and assess
ments for public purposes lies wholly
within the legislative power of the
state"
There were two or three dissenting
opinions in the case, the action of the
court being adopted by majority of
one.

MEDICAL LAW IL VOID.

Important Omission in the Woods Med

1t has been discovered that Repre-

" Gods medical law, exempting from
its provisions practitioners of osteO.
patty, electropathy, hydropathy and
massage, had been cut out and does
not appear in the printed acts re-
curing such practitioners to obtain
licenses from the state board of medi-
cal examiners. An official investiga-
ton has been commenced and we un-
derstand that the omission makes the
law imperative.

wELL-PAID PREACHERS.

The position of pastor of one of
New York's great churches is both
honorable and lucrative. The sal
airy is large, but the perquisities are
often double the salary. The late
DIR. John Hall had, it was said, an
income of between $4,000 and
100000 a year. His salary was
81 5000, the remainder came from
marriage fees and other incidentals.
Rev. DIR. Morgan Dix, of Trinity,
receives SIS 5000 per annum, and his
perquisites are quite as valuable as
those of DIR. Hall.

Foster, secretary of the treasury
under President Harrison, has filed
a petition in bankruptcy. His debts
amount to s747,ooS.34. He has
nothing to offset this Indebtedness.
Mr.. Foster was at one time reputed
to be very rich man, but was over
taken by misfortune. When he
turned over the office of secretary
of the treasury to his democratic
successor it was in the same condi.
ton that he claims to be in now it
was bankrupt, and it is too bad that
he did not turn it over to republi-
can instead of democrat, thereby
placing the responsibility for the
empty treasury where it properly
belonged.

applause. He said he believed the
meeting opportune and he thought
more meetings of the same sort would
be productive of good. Mr.. Bates did
not care if all the newspapers in town
were represented. He had marked the
condition in the ranks of the party for
20 years. He believed there had been
too many kitchen caucuses and back
door arrangements, for the welfare of
the party.
Mr.. Bates recalled an incident of the
campaign of 1882 when Gen. Butler was
elected governor over Judge Robert r
Bishop. At that time leading, Re
publican of Worcester expressed the
wish that the Republican majority
might be narrowed down to one vote.
The majority was shaved down so fine
that Butler won. Mr.. Bates believed
there has been too much of the same
sort of feeling since that time He
believed personal differences should be
buried and that voters should go to the
polls and file their preference for the
nominee of the party. 1t had been
difficult for Mr.. Bates to follow the rule
at all times but he said he had always
voted the Republican ticket from top
| to bottom.
| Mr. Bates referred to the fact that a
previous speaker had taken exceptions
| to a lawyer filing the mayors chair.
On the other hand Mr.. Bates believed
the education of a lawyer fitted him
peculiarly for the place and he had no
sympathy with the feeling against
them. OF course there are good bust
ness men equally capable of admin
listerilfK the duties of chief executive.
He said that in event of the son of Adm
Thayer being nominated he would be
one of his most Jealous supporters.
| E. NJ woodward suggested that a
committee be appointed by the chair to
collect ballots upon which those pres
ent should write their preference for
| mayor.
James Logan was called upon. He
said he thought those who attended the
state convention in Boston felt that
Worcester deserved the singing rebuke
administered by Hon. M. j. Murray.
He thought it time to lay aside petty
pickering and jealousy.
| Henry Brannon said that as a mem
Der of the City Council in recent years
he had a chance to see the danger that
might result from Democratic suprem-
acy. He suggested that a committee
( be appointed from the cream Of the
meeting to name one or more candi-
dates for consideration of the meeting
at some future time
! Mr. Bates thought it would be a good
! idea to make the committee number
! rs and that If the chairman of the
| city committe was agreeable the COM
mittee should act as a sort of advis-
DRY board for the city committee dur
| ing the campaign. The motion as
amended was carried The meeting ad-
journed at 9.45 o'clock.
