Weather Report.


 Birmingham, October 14. Reports again show very little rainfall throughout the cotton belt. Small amounts were reported from northern Texas and Oklahoma. Beyond the limits of the cotton belt there was rain in Flor ida, the Missouri valley from Missouri to North Dakota and in northern New York and New England.
 Cool weather still prevails in nearly all sections. It was slightly warmer in the states bordering on the Mississippi river southward from Missouri, while 1t was cooler in Georgia and the Carolinas. Freezing weather is reported from the Rocky Mountain region.

SENATOR HOAR'S FAILING.

Senator Hoar, the aged statesman
whose spirit is just now lingering on
the border of the undiscovered coun
try. has many interesting things in his
life's history. He was broad in his ideas
of nstionsl affairs and has led men
instead of following in paths of others
He was scholarly and his mental cspa-
cities in many ways were truly Won
derful. One fact just recently given to
the general public has occasioned great
surprise. 1t is stated on excellent su-
thority that the Senator found his
mental recreation not in the perusal OF
the literary gems Of the worlds great
writers but in such light literature as
found circulation in yellow-bsck novels.
His hours abroad train were always
spent in reading the dime library
that told OF some dare DEVILS escspade
or some fearless detective accomplish
ments. He loved to follow the bloody
plots there unraveled and perused the
contents of the cheapest novel with
real zest. Senator Hoar may have fol-
lowed this course without injury to
himself and there are few who feel at
the liberty of offering advice to such an
aged and prominent man who has
reached fame and amsssed fortune,
but it is safe to say that where one
man has read Daredevil Dick stories
and 'Alksli Ike $ adventures" and had
his brain fired by the narrowing tales
within a5ominable yellow covers. and
not been led to some desperate end ten
others have been drawn away to lead
lives of desperadoes and thugs The
Senator might have found recreation
for tired out brain in such diver
sion but how much good he has lost by
permitting the many books that hold
such wealth of sweetness couched in
the choicest words that flow from the
authors pen to gather dust upon the
unopened covers and feed his mind mp
ON the reckless fancies of those who
cater to the tastes of the deprsved.

Special TO The Daily Index.
Washington. Aug. PA sensation
was caused in this city Tuesday when
1t became known that a petition in
bankruptcy had been filed by three of
the leading national banks of the city
against Thomas Z. Waggaman, a
prominent real estate and insurance
agent of this city and treasurer of the
Catholic university. The petition at
the same time seeks to set aside a
deed of trust recorded Monday on Mr..
waggaman's property for approx
mately $4,000 in favor of the Catho-
lie university, the ground that IL is
void as being an attempt by an insolv-
ent debtor to prefer one of his credit
ors.
The petitioning banks were the Sec
ond national bank, the National Met
ropolitan bank and the National Bank
OF Washington, each of which allefed
1t held overdue and unpaid psper of
Mr.. Waggaman's, the total nt
held by the three exceeding s40.> oi
which $4,000 is due the Metropoa... m
bank. II is probable that the procet s.
ings are the beginning Of considerable
litigation.
Mr.. waggaman has been in the real
estate business here since 1878 and
was reported to be a man of large
means. He was the possessor of the
finest private art gallery in the city
and some comment was caused sew
eral months ago when n brief an
nouncement appeared in the papers to
the effect that his art works have
been turned over to the Catholic uni
versity. At the time II was explained
as a matter of convenience. but II is
stated now that security to the uni
versity for money had to do with the
matter.
Besides handling the monies of the
university Mr.. Waggaman controlled
large amounts of money belonging to
other persons. both in this city and
away from here. and 1t is stated that
to some extent at least Mr.. Wagga-
mans personal notes were given as
security to those whose money he
controlled. For some years he has
been engaged in extensive operations
in the suburbs OF Washington and has
had much capital tied up thereby.
II is understood that some time age
the authorities of the Catholic uni
versity became dissatisfied with the
manner in which the funds of the in.
stitution In Mr.. Waggaman's hands
were invested and secured and a new
Arrangement was effected. This new
arrangement is embodied in the set
tlement Of which the deed Of trus
was a part.

ILLEGAL
IS LAW
Under Which Tax Inquisitor
Was Employed:

States Attorney f. p. Chamberlin
has filed with County Auditor F. Z.
MiIligan and the county commission
ers typewriter five page opinion in
which he declares that the contract
made in 1909 with Tax Inquisitor b.
W. Gill6llin by the county commission
ers. under the provisions of which ne
was to get 20 per cent of the amount
of back taxes secured by him in Logan
county during the years 1902. 1908 and
1904. is illegal the commissioners ac-
cording to law having no power to
make contract good for a longer per-
iod of time than one year. He also
holds that the act under which tine con-
tract was made lie unconstitutional in
that it is not operative in two counties
of the state thus making it a measure
not of uniform operation Mr.. Gill
fillen's bill for the work done was
something like 81, 200 and some $500
has been paid him. This $500 it would
seem according to Mr.. Chamberlin' q
opinion was not legally due him and
might be recovered through process of
law. This opinion of Mr.. Chamberlin
may result in Mr.. Gillfllen bringing
mandamus proceedings to compel the
payment Of that money he claims the
county is owing TO him. The institut-
ing of such a suit would result in an
interesting court case and the testing
of the law which Mr.. Chamberlin be-
Ileves TO be unconstitutional.

Y. NJ. c. A, of Bellefontaine. carried
701 Logan county people to that place
from where most of the excursionists
went to Cedar Point. OF the 70l about
275 were from this city. At DeGraff
167 tickets were sold, at Rushsylvania
119, Huntsville 81, West Liberty 50 and

one of the best conducted ever run out
of this city and all who went greatly
enjoyed themselves. The limitations
given in the 10 cars by Mr.. Thomas

novel and decidedly entertaining. The

excursion which sum will be expended
