LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. cleft nearly
penniless and without means of subsist-
ence by the recent floods along Wildcat
creek, Jerry Rosenberger, once a prosper
Gus miller, and his wife, have come into
possession of fortune estimated at from
$4,000 to 5000. Mr.. and Mrs. ,Rosenberger
lived near Dayton, few miles south Of
here, where for several years they operated
grist-mll. which enabled them to live
well. besides accommodating fair-sized
hoard. Recently, however, their former
customers had been taking their grain to
more modern mills. and what little income
the couple did have was lost when the re-
cent floods swept away the larger part of
the dam and the mill machinery. Mr.. ard
Mrs Rosenberger were in despair and pre-
pared to abandon the mill and move to the
city, where the husband hoped TO find
work But a few days ago Mrs. Rosen-
berger received a letter from a Canadian
law firm stating that an uncle at ST.
Thomas. Ont, by whom she was reared,
had died and left her a fourth of an estate
worth about s1OO0 900. Mrs. Rosenberger had
not heard from her uncle i'm years, the miles
that separated the two having tended to
break all old ties. The woman was over
whelmed by the news and Immediately
left for ST. Thomas. Yesterday she re-
turned to her home with 81 500 in cash and
deeds to real estate and stocks worth much
more. To-day the old grist-mill is being re-
paired and modern machinery will be or
dered. The couples good fortune has caused
a general rejoicing in the neighboring and
reception will be held by the fortunate
pair. Rosenberger was at one time en-
ployed in this city and has daughter en-
plOyed here.

SOLDIERS, HOME TRUSTEES
Meet and Discussy Method of Conduct
ing Lunacy Trials.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 6.-The board OF
trustees of the Soldiers Home met with the
Tippecanoe County Commissioners to-day
to consider the present method of conduct
ing lunacy commissions. 1t has been the
practice in the past for a justice of the
peace and three physicians to go to the
home, examine the alleged insane veteran.
declare him to be Of unsound mind, and
then send their bills to the County Com
missoners. The bills this year are heavy,
and the commissioners have objected. 1t
is now suggested that when a veteran is
believed to be insane that he be sent to the
county from whence he was sent to the
home and there adjudged insane at his ma
tive countys expense. This is the plan
that the trustees will adopt, as they are in
accord with the movement. Judge w. s.
Haggard, former Lieutenant Governor,
chairman of the board, has been commits
stoned to lay the matter before the attor-
ney general for an opinion on the validity
Of the change.
