MOUNT is A CANDIDATE
TIPTON JUDGE WILL MAKE THE
RACE AGAINST &. B. Lands.
Aspires to Go to Congress from the
Ninth District Of Indiana-He Is
SanEuine of Success.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

KOKOMO, Ind. Sept 26.-While in Koko-
mo to-day Walter W. Mount, of Upton,
judge of the Howard-Tipton Circuit Court,
told a reporter that he had fully decided
to enter the congressional race in the Ninth
district and contest for the Republican
nomination against Charles IS. Lands, the
present congressman.
Judge Mount has just concluded tour
of the district and has received such en-
couragement in all the counties that he has
decided to seek the nomination. The for
NAL announcement of his candidacy will
appear in the Upton Advocate Tuesday.
Judge Mount is very popular in Howard
county and il is quite safe TO predict that
he will secure at least share of the deie-
gates. To the reporter Judge Mount said:
81 have looked the situation over very
carefully and convinced that / can
enter the lists with full warranty for hop
Jig to secure the prize. In the beginning
the greater portion of the encouragement
came from the eastern tier of counties in
the district, Howard. Upton and Hamil-
ton, but more recently the west end of
the district has with equal emphasis in
dicated that ii would welcome my candi-
dacy."

BOGUS Mint CONfISCATED
ONE OF THE LARGEST COUNTERFEIT
MONEY PLANTS EVER SEIZED.
Director of the Concern Also Cap
tured-Product shipped i'm Boxes
Labeled "Iron."

MARINETTE, Wis, Sept. 26.-Officers
yesterday near Koss, Mich, on the Wis
consin & Michigan Railway. confiscated
one of the largest and most complete coun-
terfeit money making outfits ever taken in
the country. They also captured the leader
and took him TO Marquette, Mich, for
trial in the United States Court.
The den OF the counterfeiters was a small
shanty on an isolated road two miles from
Koss. Their outfit was a most complete
one. and consisted of dies for the manu-
facture of silver from 10 cents up to a
dollar and gold from s. to $40. The officers
regard it as a most important capture, the
gang, posing as trappers, have for several
years been shipping the counterfeit to all
parts OF the country marked Iron" 1t
was sent out from Stephenson, Mich.
Reports to-day from Koss, which is
twenty miles from here. are meager, as
the government officers are still trying to
capture others of the gang, who escaped.
Further investigation, ii is thought, will
reveal a complete system for distributing
the bogus money throughout the country.
The coin well mace and hard to de-
tect, both silver and gold being used in
the composition.

a clever man of letters by the name OF
Aesop, who lived in the days when oyster
shells were in popular favor as ballots,
wrote a campaign contribution-it may
have been-concerning a mountain and a
mouse. Alarming noises had come from the
interior of the mountain, increasing in vol

munity was aroused to pitch little short
of desperation. 1t became known that on
a certain day the mountain was to be de-
livered of the tempestuous burden which
troubled it, and i'm spite the tremors and
tremblings of the inhabitants of the neigh
borhood, thousands gathered to witness the
prodigy. After the rumbling and roaring
groaning and growing and creaking and
cracking the mount;in suddenly split and
out popped a tiny mouse which scurried
for cover.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Sept. 26.-At conference
this evening between the Grant county
Board OF Health and the township trustees
the members of the Board OF Health an
nounced that they would refuse TO enforce
the law requiring all pupils attending the
country schools TO be vaccinated.
Since the opening OF the schools the law
has been strictly enforced. Hundreds OF
the pupils refused to be vaccinated and
were not permitted to attend school. The
truant officer endeavored to enforce the
compulsory school law. Anti-vaccination
societies in all parts of the county were
formed and bitter war was waged against
the Health Boards order. Preparations
were made for the fling of suits TO test the
law. The attendance in the schools was re-
duced until it was necessary TO dismiss
school in number of buildings.
The county Board of Health Will now re-
fuse to enforce the law until there is an
outbreak of smallpox or other contagious
disease.

Governor Mickey says the warden of the
penitentiary, Mr.. Beemer. reported to him
twice that a kidnapping attempt had been
prophesied by convicts. One convict said
some time ago that such plan had been
formed as a way OF getting revenge upon
the governor for his refusal to interfere

Suppose the Legislature had at the

Suppose the flood time Legislature
through the influence of Troutman,
Burton and their friends had refused
to grant Kansas sufferers any relief
and had appropriated $4,000 to its
own members for a fUrty-eight hour
session.
Suppose Frank Grimes, Tom Kelley

Suppose there had been a white

NEWSPAPER RATING.

Ina recent communication Geo. P.
Rowell & Co, of New York, publishers
Of the American Newspaper Directory
has this to say regarding the circula-
tion of the Herald as compared with
that of the other Phillipsburg papers,:
can examination Of the latest issue
Of the American Newspaper Directory
reveals the fact that in Kansas the
HERALD has higher circulation ra-
ting than is accorded to any other
paper in Phillipsburg."
This statement is published to SUBJ
Stantiate the proposition that the
HERALD is the best advertising medi-
UNI of the county. In addition to the
fact above stated, another of equal
interest to patrons might be given
viz; There are very few, if any dead
beats, or useless exchanges on the list.
I heSe have been cut off as soon as
discovered, and the same policy will
be continued. A dead beat SubScrib-
er is likely to prove dead beat to the
advertiser if occasion should be favor
able. These facts are respectfully
submitted to the business men of the
city and county, and investigation Of
their correctness invited.
