DISAGREE WITH CORONER.
Police Still Regard Robert Under
wood as Probable Murderer.

The police department declines to accept
the decision of Deputy Coroner Nelson
Brayton that Robert Underwood is inno-
cent of causing the death of Thomas
Lemon. of Millersville. Lemon, according
to DR.. Brayton, died of congestion of the
lungs due to alcoholism and exposure He
was in a fight with Underwood, but his in
juries, so received, did not cause his death
directly. The police maintain that it was
due to his being knocked unconscious by
Underwood that Lemon lay exposed to the
weather for hours, and was thus brought
to his death. The police will proceed with
the development of their case against In
derwood.

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.


The Marion county branch of the Rural
Carriers Association of Indiana has been
formed. 1t is composed Of the rural mail
carriers Of Marion county. The organiza-
ton was formed with the assistance of
Carriers Scott and McWilliams, of the
State organization. 1t is the plan 10 give
the State convention, which will be held
here on Oct. IS. a hearty welcome. Most
OF the counties of the State having rural
carriers are now organized, and Marion
county will probaly head the list in point
of membership there being twen'y-nine,
and also in the thorough manner in which
the entire county is now receiving free de-
livery. The fact that the county has been
so well taken care of in regard to free de-
livery is due to the good roads and in a
large measure TO the untiring efforts of
Representative Overstreet.
The local branch will meet again at the
courthouse Sunday, Aug. IL, at l p. m, TO
adopt constitution and bylaws and trans
act other necessary business. All carriers
of Marion county are especially urged to be
present.

Thought Always of
Country's Welfare

In a letter to Colonel Hamilton, a
delegate in Congress from the state Of
New York. Washington said: My
wish to see the union OF these states
established upon liberal and perma-
nent principles, and inclination to
contribute my mite in pointing out the
oeiects OF the present constitution. are
equally great. All my private letters
nave teemed with these sentiments,
and, whenever this topic has been the
subject OF conversation, I have endeav-
ored to diffuse and enforce them; but
now far any further essay by me might

to me, depends so much upon popular

TO decide. | shall be Obliged to you,
however, for the thoughts which you
nave promised me on this subject, and
as soon as you can make 1t convenient.
NO man in the United States Is or can
be more deeply impressed with the
necessity OF a reform in our present
confederation than myself. No man.
perhaps, has felt the bad effects Of 1t
more sensibly; for to the defects there
or, and want OF power in Congress,
may justly be ascribed the prolonga-
tion OF the war. and consequently the
expenses occasioned by 1t. More than
half the perplexities I have expert
enced In the course OF my command,
n almost the whole Of the difficulties
n distress Of the army, have had
their origin here. But still, the preju-
dices Of some. the designs OF others,
n the mere machinery OF the ma
jority make address and management
necessary to give weight to opinions
which are to combat the doctrines Of
those different classes of men In the
field OF politics."
To Lafayette he wrote: I'VE are

tics will interfere too much with the

sight, freed from the mist Of prejudice,

AVE arrived at any perfestion in this
art; in a word, that the experience
which Is purchased at the price of diff
iculties and distress will alone con-
vince us that the honor. power and
true interest OF this country must be
measured by a continental scale. and
that every departure therefrom weak
ems the Union, and may ultimately
break the band which holds us togeh-
er. To avert these evils, to form a
new constitution that will give con-
sistency, stability and dignity to the
Union and sufficient powers to the
great council OF the nation for general
purposes Is a duty incumbent upon
every man who wishes well to his
country, and will meet with my aid as
far as 1t can be rendered in the private
walks Of life"

After Washington's retirement from

scarcely less ease and activity than he

had been exposed while riding home.
The water had penetrated to his neck.

next day prevented his going abroad.

Deafness Cannot he Cared

by local applications, rs they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only ona
way TO cure deafness, and that Is by conSti-

you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it Is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
