Dreadful Attack OF Whooping

Mrs. Ellen Harrison, Of 300 Park Ave,
Kansas City, Mo, writes as follows" "Our
two children had severe attack Of
whooping cough, one Of them in the
paroxysm of coughing would often faint
and bleed at the nose. We tried every
thing we heard Of without getting relief.
We then called in our family doctor who
prescribed Foley's Honey and Tar With
the very first dose they began to improve
and we feel that it has saved their lives. "

A Careful Lad.

A school-teacher in Kentucky had
some trouble in teaching little fel-
low to say ''double l." double e,'
"double s." etc. But after awhile his
efforts were fruitful, and he was graft
fed by an extraordinary appearance
of interest on the pupils part. In
fact, the boy became a double-letter
hunter, and ceased altogether to re-
quire attention at that point. About
that time they reached the lesson con-
cerning the early riser, beginning with

end OF PYTHIAN CONTEST
SUPREME TRIBUNAL HOLDS APPRO-
PRIATION WAS ILLEGAL.
Indiana Grand Tribunal Upheld in
Ruling hat Grand Lodge Had No
Right to Take Action.

The Supreme Tribunal Of the knights of
Pythias has decided that the appropriation
by the Indiana Grand Lodge of SIS. 900. to be
raised by assessment, for the Rathbone
Sisters, to be devoted to the establishment
of a Pythian orphans home, is illegal. and
affirmed the decision of the Indiana Grand
Tribunal.
The case was of great interest to Pythians
as well as the Rathbone Sisters throughout
the State. At the time the appropriation
was made in the Grand Lodge 1t raised a
storm of protest. and after a hard fight it
was passed. The matter was appealed to
the Grand Tribunal Of Indiana, which de-
cided that the appropriation was illegal and
not in accordance with the laws of the or
der and that the Grand Lodge ha no right
to vote money to the Rathbone Sisters for
the erection OF the proposed home. Issues
were then formed and the case was taken
to the Supreme Tribunal I'm the nature of a
friendly suit. BY the decision OF the higher
tribunal the decision Of the Indiana tribunal
was affirmed. the Supreme Tribunal holding
practically the same-that under the laws of
the order an appropriation OF this nature
could not be made.
The Supreme Tribunal is the highest court
in the order and is the court OF last resort,
the same as the United States Supreme
decision OF this tribunal there is no APP
peal. and accordingly the funds for this
purpose must be derived from some other
source.

Sl5O,OOO,OOO INCREASE
1T MAY BE MADE ON INDIANA REAL
ESTATE ASSESSMENTS.
State Tax Board VIII Consider the
Question I'm Executive Session To-
Morrow and Tuesday.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners
will hold executive sessions tomorrow and
Tuesday to decide what changes are to be
made in the 1903 assessment of real estate
in the n~inety-two counties. During the past
week the board has heard representatives of
about fifty counties. Some asked that the
assessments of their counties be left as
they are reported to the board. Others asked
for lower assessments and others wanted the
assessments of their counties increased.
The board will not announce the changes
1t makes until the end Of the present ses-
sion. which terminates toward the end of
the month. The returns Of the county audi
tors TO the tax commissioners show that the
assessed valuation of Indiana S real estate
is more than $3.50, 100000 higher than last
year. IL is thought the total increase will
be about this figure when the board an
nounces its changes.
Beginning Wednesday the board will hear
appeals from county auditors and other
county representatives concerning the as
sessment of banks. trust companies, loan
companies and other corporations.

1T ENDS THE LIFE OF EVAN f.. lilly
IN ST. vINCENT's HOSPITAL.

Been Remarkably Successful.

Evan F.. Lilly died yesterday morning at
st. vincent's Hospital from the effects of
Bright's disease, from which he had been
not unexpected. was a great shock to all his
relatives and friends.
Some time ago. on account of the inroads
the disease had made upon his system, Mr..
Lilly went north, hoping that climatic con-
ditions would be favorable to his recovery,
but he returned home last week in such a
serious condition that he was not expected
to live any length Of time. He was re-
moved TO the hospital, and as a last re-
sort an operation was performed by his
attending physicians, but no hopes were
at any time entertained for his recovery.

turing chemists in the United States. He
was born in Lexington, KY, forty-eight
years ago and received his early education
in the public schools of that city. Later he
studied pharmacy under Henry Ridgely,
one OF the most prominent druggists in
Kentucky. In 1878 Mr.. Lily came to Indian
apoiis and accepted the position of secre-
tary and treasurer of the Eli Lilly Com
pany, and with such success that through
his efforts the Eli Lilly Company became
one of the greatest drug houses in the
world.
Mr.. Lilly was married in 1850 to Miss Belle
McGuin, of Ironton, o., who. with two
daughters, Marguerite and Katherine, sur
vive him. Mrs. Margaret Lilly, his mother.

DUB HIM PRINCE OF LIARS
POLICE NO FAITH IN ~CANTRELL
OR HIS CONFESSION"
Supt. Tane and Capt. Gerber Out
Ghoul-Mr. Selvase's Opinion.

The confession of Rufus Cantrell, the
prince of lars as he has been dubbed by
the city police, rather than the ''kdng of the
ghouls," relating to the numerous crimes
and murders in which he declares that he
and others have been implicated, when
made public yesterday brought forth no
especial comment from the members of the
police and detective departments other than
expressions of disgust and disbelief.
"Cantrell is the biggest liar on the face of
the earth" said Captain Gerber, of the de-
tective department, yesterday, land it
would be impossible to place any reliance
upon anything he might say If accom-
panied with a thousand oaths before as
many notaries public" Captain Gerber
said he had investigated most Of the asser-
tons of the convicted grave-robber and in
every instance he had found that the ne
gro's love for notoriety dwarfed his capac-
ity for the truth.
Superintendent Taffe said yesterday that
he had read the confession made by Can't
rell but placed absolutely no dependence In
it. He said the so-called confession would
be placed in the hands OF the grand Jury
merely as a matter Of form. but that he did
not expect any developments from it.
The confession made by Cantrell covered
In substance what has been aired in the pa
pers many times before. The confession
was made TO former Superintendent Byers,
of the Jacksonville Reformatory, where
the negro is at the present time confined,
but was made prior to the date when he
was brought here and attempted to make
sensational disclosures in the Sewage case.
His statements at that time were about the
same as those contained in the confession
and were proved untrue before he left the
city for the prison.
In his statement to Superintendent Byers
he attempted to implicate several reputable
Indianapolis gentlemen with him in afro
cious crimes, but the police believe that he
was merely playing for notoriety when he
made the statement. Mr.. Joseph Sewage,
the brother of Miss Carrie Selvage. who so
mysteriously disappeared early in 1900. said
yesterday that he considered every state
ment made by Cantrell a downright lie and
refuSed to consider one word of the confess
sion as true.

No Bond Has Been Given.

There is some doubt at the city hall as
TO whether the Citizens Heat and Light
Company is going TO put in steam heating
and electric lighting plant. The company
obtained a franchise from the city last
August and agreed to have the plant oper-
ating by Sept 1, 1908. but as yet they have
not broken ground and the stock has not
been placed. The contract provides a sl0,-
600 bond to assure the city that the plant
will be in operation by Sept. /, but it has
been learned that the bono has not been
given When asked about 1t Writ c. Smith,
secretary of the company, said that the
city had not called for the bond. 1t is be-
lieved by many that the plant will not be
put IN.

PEARLS in WHITE RIVER
LOCAL DEALER SAYS MANY OF SOME

Fresh-Water Gems Are Also Taken
from Fall Creek Mussels Occasion
aIIy-Boom I'm the I industry.

The fresh-water pearl industry has had
quite a boom of late. A high-luster white
pearl was found in an Iowa stream not long
ago which was said to be worth $1,000. and
one in Wisconsin which was sold to a local
eral times that sum-.
For some years past pearls have been
found in mussel shells in White river and
Fall creek and a manufacturing jeweler of
this city max a business of handling them.
II have none of much value on hand now"
he said yesterday. but 1 sent one to New
York recently for which 1 got fifty dollars"
His present stock consists of about a hun
dred small ones ranging in size from a large
pinhead to a birdshot. They are suitable
for settings. No person In this vicinity
makes a business of hunting pearls. as it
would not pay, but they are found occasion
ally by fishermen. house-boat people, etc.
THE best ones I have handled" said this
jeweler, came from down below Waverly.
A man there used to hunt them by wading
in deep water about up to his neck and when
he felt a mussel shell with his feet he would
get il. He brought In quite a good many.

that were found in Fall creek"
FRESH WATER PEARLS.
The fresh-water or mussel pearl Is pre-
cisely the same in it's composition and char
acter as those found in oyster shells. All
shellhsh are provided with a fluid secretion
with which they line their shells and give
the surface, which would otherwise be
rough, a fine finish. This finish makes
mother-of-pearl, of which buttons are manu-
featured. Clam or mussel shells are in
great demand for this purpose. The forma-

cause, such as the intrusion OF a grain of
sand or other substance which, by irritat-
ing the tender body of the animal obliges 1t,
in self-defense, to cover the foreign sub
stance with a secretion which gradually
forms a pearl. As the fresh-water streams
of Indiana were always inhabited by CLAIMS,
there is reason to believe that a great many
pearls are buried in drifts and sandbars.
Hunting for them, however, Is a good deal
like looking for the proverbial needle in the
haystack.
