DEFAUL TING
| TREASURER
OF CAss COUNTY CAN NOT
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
SHORTAGE OF $75,343.66
Sureties Abandoned Hope That Ober-
chain Will Return to Logans-
port.
SHORTAGE OF $75,343.66

Logansport, Ind, Dec. 1S.-County
Auditor O. c. Gard completed his
annual report, which shows that E. F.
Obenchain, defaulting County Treas
urer, is charged with $137 1854. But
$62, 800 has been accounted for, leav-
ing an alleged discrepancy of $75-
1896.
This would show a shortage at least
$4,000 greater than was heretofore
believed to exist. Records of loans
made by Obenchain and stock funds
in his vault as collateral account for
only about $4,000 Of the shortage.
The bondsmen now believe tht ODER
chain took the balance with him in
the form of cash.
On the strength Of this discovery
his sureties today abandoned the
hope they had fondly cherised ever
since they took charge of the office
that Oberchain would return and aid
them in Strengthening out the aft
airs of the office.
Olu OdtCuC1S SOuCcAA Ooo1A.
When the shortage was roughly
checked up last Monday, it was be-
lieved that Oberchain left here with
out dollar Of the county's fund,
that all the money which the treas
ury was short had been advanced by
him to friends for securities of great
err or less value. They declined to
admit that he might have taken any
part Of the county funds for his per-
sonal use It was openly admitted as
probable that he had ended his own
life because of the disgrace The dis
covery of today leads many to be-
lieve that the two satchels Oberchain
took with him when he left were lin
ed with currency.
The day Oberchain left for Indi-
annapolis he retired to his private
vault. He pulled down the curtains
and remained there ten minutes.
Then he left, carrying two grips
which appeared to be heavy. The
bondsmen believe that both grips
were weighted with funds Obenchain
had drawn from the city bank sever
al days previous and taken to his
Office safe.
Little Sympathy for Oberchain.
The discovery Of this additional
shortage has almost obliteratel the
sympathy felt for Oberchain, even
by the men who will have to make
good his alleged shortage. 1t became
known today that, in the June set
Element, there was discrepancy of
$4,000 between the Auditors and the
Treasurer duplicates. This discrep-
ancv was in favor of the county.

Ruling of County Commissioners

Topeka, Kan, December I'm
order to encourage the raising of big
families the commissioners of Shraw-
nee county have voted to increase
the salary of every employee in the
court house SIS per month for each

policy of encouragement to infant
industries and the Roosevelt idea of

In case of twins the employees will
get a raise of $40 a month and if
triplets SIS.
"The County Board has no way OF
offering bounty to the people gen.
orally as an inducement to raise big
families,' said Mr.. Sterne, "but it
can reach the employees of the coun-
ty through a salary increase and pro-
poses to do it."

The November REPORT
Of the State Board of Health Shows
Some Very Interesting
Figures.
THE November REPORT

There are some interesting figures
IN the death roll set forth in the reg
ular monthly report for November of
| the State Board of Health. Among
them is the fact that the death rate
resulting from violence and pneu-
MONA shows a greater per cent. in
the country than in the city, which is
an unusual reversal of conditions.
The figures also show that small
poX is becoming more fatal in its
results, there being an increase in
the death rate among smallpox pa
tlents of II per cent.
Consumption, the figures show.
claimed 337 people, an increase of
about forty over November of last
year. Among the victims this wear
was one person over ninety years of
age and forty-seven babies under the
age of one year. Of the number 277
were females and $50 males.
Total Death Rate.
There were 1853 deaths last month
resulting from violence, and, strange
as 1t may seem, the country shows
the greatest per cent. in this respect.
The death rate from typhoid fever
and pneumonia was also slightly
higher in the country than in the
cities.
The total citydeath rate from all
diseases last month was AS and the
death rate in the country from all
diseases was 10.1. The death rate
in Indianapolis was IA for every
LOCO inhabitants.
The increased fatalities among the
smallpox patients. DR.. HURRY says,
is natural, as the first year the cpl
demic appears it is in a light form,
but each succeeding year it shows
more fatal results.
Pneumonia, however, shows a de-
crease in the number of deaths. A
year ago, during November, there
were 241 deaths. Last month 900
people died from the disease The
most prevalent diseases of the month
were bronchitis, tonsilitis and rheu-
matism.

'tendant.

Jersey City, n j., December 1S.-
With thrill Of Indignation, Warden
McAndrews, of the Jersey City Hos
pital, heard a kiss and some tender
words whispered in the third floor
hall of the institution. And then he
found Willard Cody and Miss Mary
Meehan, professional nurse, occupy
ing one rocking chair.
This is an outrage he exclaim-
ed Both of you lose your positions
for such nonsensical conduct. Cody,
report to me at my Office. Miss Nee
han, go to your room.'
"Not much,' replied the young
woman. "No one else in the world
has better right to this spot than I.
Willard, light match, please.'
Willard obeyed, and by the flicker
ing light the young woman showed
Warden McAndrews a marriage GER
tifcate.
81 am now," she said, proudly,
"'Mrs. Willard Cody"
Warden McAndrews thereupon
gave them his blessing, and a cele-
bration of the nuptials of November
10 was held at the hospital in the
afternoon. Cody and his bride were
employed in several hospitals in New
York before they went to Jersey
City. 1t was case of love at first
sight when they met in the institu-
ton across the river.

To Measure Tracks

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co, il
is reported, has instructed its engineer
ing department to make new measure
ments of all its lines east of Pittsburg
for the purpose of ascertaiLiug just
what changes have been made a. the
result of many cut-offs that have been
built and how much the distances on
the main line have been shortened. If
the report of the engineers shows that
the mileage has been reduced, the con
ductors of passenger trains viii be in
structed to make the necessary changes
in taking out transportation from
mileage books.
1t is know that the distance between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg has been
shortened by several miles and it is
expected that official measurements
will also make a change in the mile
age on the New York Division be-
tween New York aud Philadelphia.
