Z. W. Riley of the Second district
was in SATURDAY. and paid us for his
SUBSCRIPTION for the paper to Jan. 1904.
Mr.. Riley reports great fatality among
the horses and mules in his section from
blind staggers. Morgan Roper of Sal
tillo lost two good horses within two
days. Jerre Denton lost fine horse,
Toliyer Livingston fine mare, Pink
Putt fine animal. while several others
have had horses and mules to die from
the dread disease. The only cause that
can be assigned for the prevalence OF
the disease is eating late corn. The .li-
sease seems to be widespread. Mr..
Willis lost cougle of good horses in
two days, Mr.. McCanles lost his fine
harness horse and a number OF others
haye died here in town. The only cause
we have heard assigned for prevalence
OF the disease is that it may be caused
by feeding late corn.

PARRY GIVES ASSURANCE
HE SAYS SOUTHERN WILL BE BUILT
WITHIN NINE MONTHS.
Rumor that Monon Has offered $780,.
600 for Local Franchise Persist
emily Repeated-CoaI Rates.

The rumor that the Monon has offered
the indianapolis Southern Railway Com
pany 100000 for it's franchise is persistently
repeated. despite the emphatic denials of d.
M. Parry. president OF the company, and
others interested with him. dispatch to
the Journal from New York says that the
New York Commercial Advertiser declares
as the result OF inside information that the
story Is true and that the Monon has made
the offer stated.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Parry would
not discuss the question as to whether an
offer had been made. He did not hesitate
to reafffrm that the Indianapolis Southern
Company would not part with the franchise
secured in this city and that the road would
certainty be built The work on the road
bed will begin shortly. he says. and the line
may be opened for business early in 1904
the contract have been made and that the
contract may be awarded within the next
ten days.
Mr. Parry has assured the Commercial
Club. the Board OF Trade and the Manufac-
turers' Club. through their committees,
that the road will be built within the next
nine months. and the members of the or
CARNATIONS have confidence in his assur-
ances. They say, however, that a low coal
rate for indianapolis is one of the impera-
tive necessities for the future, and If the
Southern is not built then the business men
and manufacturers of Indianapolis must
take things into their own hands. organize
a company and build a road of their own.
No relief from present conditions is posi-
BILE until competition between carriers from
the coal fields Is had, Is the general opinion.

frantic efforts of the engineer to throw the
reverse lever. Ruede was dragged some
distance on the ground before the heavy
train was brought TO standStill.
He was taken to the city morgue in the

Change in Geographies.

A committee from the State Board of
Education, appointed to take charge of the
revision of the Biographies taught in the
public schools of Indiana, met at the office
of the superintendent of public instruction
yesterday. The committee discussed the
work to be done, but took no definite ac-
ton. No extensive changes will be recon-
mended. New Biographies were placed in
the schools five years ago and since that
time no change has been made. The chief
items to be considered In connection with
the present revision is the matter of the
census showing the population of the coun-
try. which has been taken since the last
change in Biographies.
