Palanteon Cation Speaks at Butler
Chapel and Tells of Incidence
of His Race.

Palanteon Cation, a young m of
South America, who is visiting friends in
the city. spoke yesterday at Butler College.
Mr.. Cation has been in the United States
only five months, and has not yet fully
mastered English. Often he had to use
Spanish words to express his meaning. He
said that. although his country abounded
in great w~ealth-such as gold, silver, dia-
monds and coal-the Colombians did not
make use of it because Of their lazy dis
positions. Several years ago he said, some
Americans went to Colombia, and in five
years were wealthy men.
There are only two railroads in my
country" he said, 'but there will be more.
The administration doesn't want progress
1t is in league with the church to keep peo-
pie ignorant. Then we have continual wars
one for every change of the administra-
ton. 1 don know what to think about
Panama. We are not going to have war
with the United States. We have none of
those steamboats, with guns on them. You
can't send an army into our country, either,
because of the yellow fever and the mos
quitoes. We haven't much of an army.
They never give them any money"

Col. Samuel F. Gray Reaches the
Age Limit of Railroad Com
pany New Years Day.
SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED

Col. Samuel F. Gray, having reached the
age limit of service with the Pennsylvania
lines under the pension system. will retire
on JAM. 1, 1904. Colonel Gray has had a long
and honorable service with the Pennsylvania
Railroad, covering a period of thirty-eight
and one-half years. Re retires with the re-
spect and confidence of the management and
his official associates.
He accepts the situation quite cheerfully,
and thinks this rule under which he retires.
and adopted first by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. is a wise and a beneficent one. and is
glad to testify that this corporation has ever
treated him with fairness and kindly con-
sideration, as il does all of its employees.
The Pennsylvania pension rule places no
limitations upon the future acts of the re-
firing officer. He may engage in service
with a rival road if he can and so desires.
He is uncertain as to his future. but 1t is
not improbable that he will engage actively
in some other business.
Colonel Gray has been a citizen of In
dianapolis for thirty-eight and one-half
years, and he will retire with the respect
and esteem of his fellow-citizens Who VIII

State Librarian Henry has procured a
rather rare volume regarding the earlier
history of Indiana before II really became
a State, from a Chicago book seller.
The volume contains the text of speeches
made by some Indian chiefs TO William
Henry Harrison at FIT. Wayne in Septem-
Der. 1911. The material was gathered
In a peculiar way. The original manuscripts
were found in a paper mill at Kalamazoo.
Mich. where they had been sent with other
waste paper. The speeches were made by
different chiefs of the Miami tribes. They
had gathered at Fl. Wayne TO talk over
a treaty that was not entirely satisfactory
TO them.
The first speaker began his remarks thus:

Contract with Old Administration
May Be Cancelled Because of
Alleged Irregularities.

All signs pointed to a cancellation of the
street-sweeping contract between the Ma
rion County Construction Company and the
former city administration by the present
Board Of Public Works at its meeting this
morning. City Engineer Jeup, at the re-
quest of the board, has prepared specifca-
tons for a years sweeping. and the board
Is expected to call for bios for the 1904
contract at this mornings meeting.
The present contract was made with the
Marion County Construction Company, ex-
tending to Dec. 81, 1904. The statement is
made that this, in itself. is sufficient ground
for declaring the contract void, as the city
charter states that no contract other than
a franchise approved by the City Council
can be made by the works board for a
longer period than a year. Aside from
this fact members of the board state that
they consider that the city has not re-
ceived the service which 1t should have
been given under the contract with the
Marion County Construction Company. and
think a change will be beneficial. 1t is not
known whether the old company will bid
for the new contract,

PROMISES TO HAVE
MONEY FOR NEW SAFE
Controller Suggests that Strong
hold Be Used to Store All
the Kicks.

City Controller Dunn stated yesterday that
he had been visited by more "grafters"
than had ever honored him with a visit in
a day before. and yet his face wore a broad
smile, in spite of the fact. Workmen spent
the greater part of the afternoon in moving
into the controllers Office a large. new,
spacious and heavy safe. done up in coffee
sacking. In view of the fact that the con-
troller's funds are admitted to be at a no
toriously low ebb, the question was raised
as to what was to be put in the safe.
Mr.. Dunn wasn't exactly sure himself. he
made several statements with regard to the
matter that were of a conflicting nature. At
one time he said, 1--WE haven't any money,
but we re going to put up a great big bluff"
Again he said, Wen fill IL with kicks"
Still a third statement was to the effect
that 1--WE will nave a lot of money soon"

A Question Of Good Roads.

The following article from the
Gafney Ledger is very well expressed
and certainly applies to Williams
burg county as forcibly as to
Cherokee:
Farmers of Cherokee county, how
do YOU like our public roads just
now? Would it not be better to
Issue 100000 worth of public road
bonds and build one hundred and
fifty miles of macadam roads than
to wear ont buggies and wagons,
harness and gears and lose SO mnch
time on these bad roads? Let US see
about this road business. Two
hundred thousand dollars worth of
5 per cent bonds would mean a tax
Of $4,000 year for interest. 1t
would be necessary to create fund
to retire these bonds at maturity.
We are now spending about $4,000 a
year on our roads. If We were to
lay aside $4,000 year to retire
these bonds and raise $4,000 to
nav the interest on the same, that
would mean $4,000 year. Deduct
$4,000 that we are already spending
and we would be required to raise
$4,000 year to meet this obliga-
ton. The taxable property of the
county amounts to $3,6O4,l92.21.
A tax of 81 mills on this means
that we would have the finest of
macadam roads running from one
extreme of the county to the other
and crossing the county at least four
or five times if not more. If the
roads were built eight feet of maca
dam and eightfeet of dirt road and
a Law passed compelling travellers to
use the dirt road in dry weather and
the macadam road in wet weather,
even more miles of road could be
built. Is there man who travels
the public highways that would
hesitate to pay this tax and take the
good roads rather than be compelled
to use the roads as they are without
the tax!

Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation Of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full Of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at it's best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
teens are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness and nervous
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.
1t is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
Of the blood sickness from
which so mary young women
