SEYMOUR, Ind, July s.-The Democrats
Of this county are having trouble over the
election of a superintendent of the county
poor farm. Charles f. Eddnger is the
present superintendent but his right to
serve another year will be tested in the
Circuit Court. The County Commissioners
at the June term gave the people surprise
one day by electing M. w. Isaacs superin-
tendent of the poor farm to succeed Mr.
Eddinger This action caused storm of
opposition, for the public had anticipated
Eddingers reelection, he had been Civ
ing reasonably good satisfaction. That
same evening the people began a deter
mined protest and demanded an explanation
from the commissioners. 1t was learned
that small clique of Democratic poll
tician had grievance against Eddinger
dating back to last election day and had
demanded his retirement. Nevertheless the
people continued 10 protest and the next
day the commissioners reconsidered their
action of the day before and reelected
Eddinger.
Yesterday, however, both Isaacs and Ed
dinger presented their bonds for accept
ance and had lawyers there to tell the COM
missioners their duty under the law. The
board finally accepted E,ddinger's bond
holding that he is the legally elected SUI
perintendent of the poor farm Isaacs gave
notice of appeal to Circuit Court. The
laundering of the commissioners has en-
gendered much bitter feeling, but it is all
confined to the Democratic party.

known German educator has thus far re-
fused TO resign and that he has been noti-
fled that unless his resignation is forth
coming by Aug. 1 that he Will be dismissed
by order of the board Of trustees.s
DIR. Karsten's work I'm the institution has
not been satisfactory for some time. so it is
stated by those whose business II is 10
know. For that reason he has been in
formed that ii would be wise for him to Sc
cure position elsewhere. Last March, al
their regular term, the trustees voted to
relieve DR.. Karsten, and he was so notified
in a quiet way, the desire being that he
might secure another position without en-
barrassment DR.. Karsten. however, did
not take the suggestion in the spirit it was
given. He not only did not resign. but he
wrote two or three very personal letters to
one high in authority in which he said tina,
if he went others would go with him. In
personal conversation he insisted on not re-
signing.
When the June meeting of the trustees
was held the resignation of DR.. Karster
was not in the hands of the trustees, and
after some discussion it was decided that
unless 1t was received by the secretary by
Aug. he would be asked to retire from the
institution regardless of consequences to
himself. He was so notified. DR.. Karsten
has been here since 1886, and came from
Geneva, Switzerland. He married an In

versity graduate, and with whom he be-
came acquainted when she was a student

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. July S.-The men,
bers of the operators and miners state ex-
ecutive boards. after five hours session
last night, adjourned to meet later in the
week on the Linton strike. The strike was
ordered by the local lodge because the OPP
orator discharged several men who objected
to Sunday work. The strike was in viola
ton OF the miners law and of the annual
wage contract that all disputes must be
submitted to arbitration, and that. pending
arbitration. work must not be suspended.
The state officers of the United Mine
Workers called on John Mitchell to rein
force their demand that the men return to
work. This he did I'm q decisive way. and
then the grievances were taken up for ar
bitration. This failed, and the questions
were sent TO the state executive boards. The
miners insisted on tn ere-employment of
the discharged men. but this afternoon their
committee reported TO the operators who
were still In town that they would consent
to the offer made by the Linton operator
when the case was up for arbitration. This
was TO re-employ the men in some capacity,
but not necessarily at their former jobs.
