was about 81 600 or $4,000 left out of the

thereupon decided to tear up the badly
battered asphalt driveway, over which

thirty years. and replace it with a
modern macadam road. A large force
of workmen is now engaged in this i'm
DrOvement.
The old roadway was 50 feet wide,
running in a semi-circle from the east
to the west gate. The macadam pave
ment will be 25 feet wide and Will be
of parking 121s feet wide.
A new walk is to be constructed from
the plaza in front of the north porte

replaced with gravel walk fine

Probably no feature of the exterior

STEEL DRAWN FROM EYE.
Injured Indiana Blacksmith Treated
With College Magnet.

Terre Haute. Ind. May 27.-The giant
magnet at the Rose Polytechnic insti-
tute was put to use in removing a steel
splinter from the eye of Otto Inman.
a blacksmith at Bedford, Ind When
he was brought to the hospital for
treatment he did not think the splinter
was in the eye. but that it had cut the
eyeball and flown off. He was taken
to the institute and DR.. Gray used the
galvanometer to establish the fact as
to the presence of the steel in the eve
Then the injured man was brought
within range of the magnet. which is
the most powerful one in the country
At once he felt sharp pain, the mag
net exerting its attractive power on the
metal in the eyeball.
1t was feared that if the magner
were permitted to withdraw the steel.
injury would be inflicted to the eye by
the destruction of tissues, but the
knowledge gained by the slight appli-
cation OF the Magnet ena bled the sur
geons to cut out the foreign substance

long. The injured eyeball will be pre-
served. but will be sightless.

FOR 81 WHEAT.
American Society of Equity Urges
Farmers Not to Sell for Loss.

Indiana polls, May 27.-The American
Society OF Equity issues a bulletin to
the farmers Of the United States de-
manding an increase in the price of
wheat, giving arguments that the min
imum price of wheat should be 81, and
urging the farmers OF the United States
not to sell for less than 81.
The society has been organized with
this city as national headquarters for
the purpose of maintaining higher
prices for farm products by co-opera-
ton of the farmers of the country and
this is the first formal demand for in
crease in prices as the result of the
combination.
The bulletin sets out the claim that
this is an era of unequaled prosperity.
demand for commodities in unprece-
dented, labor receiving higher wages
than ever before, and the demand for
and consumption of wheat is greater
than ever before with a low visible
supply The bulletin then says:
1T is evident that the American far
mers cannot produce over about twelve
bushels per acre on an average. which
at IS cents per bushel represents $1o-56
per acre to cover all the work. seed.
twine. threshing, marketing, etc, al.
amount that scarcely equals the SIM
plest machine that the farmer buys, yet
of the factory investment, capital and
/ labor employed
Who dare say, in the face of these
evidences. and considering the present
higher range of values for nearly every
other other commodity produced in tie
country that wheat at this time and
/ for the next crop is not equitably
worth 81 per bushe1 on the basis of the
Chicago market. and that other farm
crops should be on a corresponding
] basis.
Farmers keep this matter in mind
keep 81 wheat Isl at Chicago) before
you. and you will get it as sure as the
sun rises in the east and sets ein the
west. Above all. however. we implore
YOU don't be foolish. When you get
the equitable price let it go. Sell on thl
basis OF. 81, and no less. but don't hold
for more or you may run up an un-
wieldy surplus which must eventually
compel lower prices

NEWMAN ON NEW LEAD.
Will Look Up Mortgages Overlooked
by Assessors.

The county commissioners and County
Clerk Newman have under considera tiO1
the plan of looking up the mortgages that
have been overi ooked by the tax assessors.
The plan is to have a clerk go over the
records III the register of deeds office and
find what mortgages have been overlooked
This plan was tried by the county commits
sioners in 1888 but the persons who held
mortgages that had not been assessed were
not called before the board to explain and
the result was that the expense of hunting
up the untaxed mortgages WIS more than
the money received by the county from the
move If the commissioners decide to look
up the mortgages this year the work y III
not stop but the holders of untaxed mort
cages viii be required to pay on them.
