The Campaign of Graft.

1t is worth while for the sober,
people of the State, at this
juncture, to ask themselves the reas-
on for the overt depreciation and COW
ert opposition to the Governor be-
cause of his action in the Sherrick
case. The facts in the case are not
disputed, and had they occurred in
private business the employe that
exposed them would have been hon.
ored and trusted and encouraged
anew. So will this employe of the
people, their chief executive officer,
whose business it is ''to see that the
laws are faithfully executed" But
the amazing thing is that there
should be any voice that does not
join the acclaim 1t will make no
difference in the end we are persuad-
ed We are sure, positively, that the
plain people will support and ap-
plaud the Governor while he goes
forward as he has started. But they
should, as we say, soberly consider
why at such a juncture, men and
newspapers are found to belittle his

Opening of the Schools.

The opening of the schools of the
country for another term once more
directs attention to the prevalence of
fads and the belief of many sound
minded people that the fad is becom-
ing to be carried to excess. The pub
lie school should be conducted with
the thought that all pupils will have
completed their education when their
public school life ends, Tor it is a
fact that very small per cent of
students ever go beyond the public
schools This is a mighty argument
why the work of these schools should
be so arranged as to give students
a thorough training IN the useful
studies of benefit TO them in their
life work They should use mere OF
arithmetic, geography, history, spell
ing grammar. writing and the solid
studies and less of drawing, painting
music, basket making and other fads
which are usually of little service ir
earning a living and fighting the
great and difficult battle of life

GOSHEN INQUIRY ENDS.
Postmaster Says that Charges
Cannot be Sustained.

The civil service inquiry into
the Goshen postofice was con-
cluded late Saturday night.
Commissioner Greene and In
spector Burr went east. All rec
ords of evidence have been for
warded to the civil service de-
partment in Washington, D. c.,
and the result of the finding may
not be known for a month.
Postmaster Sf1erwin sdys the
charges cannot be sustained.
Clerks Croop and Boulton mt
mate an effort is being put forth
to whitewash the postmaster by
politicians. As matters now stand
there is a total lack OF harmony
with in the Goshen postofice.
The postmaster is not on speak
ing terms with his two oldest
clerks and the office force and
the two clerks in question are not
friendly, the force sustaining the
position of the postmaster. Und-
er these circumstances the SER
vice is hampered.

A. Million Hardwood Trees.

by next spring the state of Indi-
ana will have under cultivation over
100000 hardwood trees. including
the best merchantable hardwood
trees that grow in this state" said
w. H. Freeman, secrtary of the state
board of forestry, in a recent inter
view
Mr.. Freeman had just come from
the forest reservation at Henryville,
Clark county, where he has been all
summer, overseeing the improve
ments that were made possible by the
appropriations of the fast legislature
Mr.. Freeman has returned to the res
ervation, and will stay there until
October 1 when the summers work
will be over.
"When this falls seed planting is
done" said Mr.. Freeman, I'VE shall
have over 500 acres of broken land
in hardwood trees. Last fall 1s7
acres were planted, and the preceding
we shall plant an additional 800 acres,
mostly in black walnut, shell bark
hickory, white, red, chestnut and burr
oak, American ash, wild cherry,
American chestnut, linn, black locust
catalpa, Kentucky tree, Texas pecan,
English walnut, yellow poplar, white
pine, maple and sycamore trees"
Mr. Freeman said that already 50,-
600 each of white oak, ash and hick-
ory trees had been planted, and about
10000 walnut. All of this wholesale
planting is done both as financial
investment for the state, and in order
to provide for the nursery and seed
station This station will be main
tanned SO that any one wanting seeds
or young plants of certain tree can
get them free of charge by sending
to the reservation.
1T would be a revelation and an
object lesson to many of the farmers
of the state if they could see the way
the woodlands are cleared" continu-
ed Mr. Freeman. I'VE have been
working all summer cultivating the
seeds planted before and clearing the
woodlands of the reservation. In this
clearing we aim to make use of every
stick of available timber Of course
we leave the good hard timber, which
runs from 100 to 1900 trees to the
acre" Mr.. Freeman also stated that
as long as possible this fall he would
hav gang of men under foreman
out clearing 1,4OO acres vf woodland
| that has just been started in. The
work of the summer included the
building of an administration build
ing, reservoirs, and roadways
through the reservation.

DEATHS IN INDIANA.
Increase in Sickness and Increase
in Deaths in August.

The August Bulletin of the
State Board of Health just pub
liished says:
There was an increase IN sick
ness and an increase in deaths in
August as compared with July.
However, there is no increase to
record over August of last year.
Diarrhoea was the most prevail
ent disease and typhoid fever
which was seventh in July arose
to second place in August. There
was a great deal of rheumatism,
cholera morbus, cholera infan-
tum and dysentry. Influenza and
pneumonia almost dropped out
of sight. Only ten cases of small
pox were reported from five
counties and no deaths. In the
corresponding month last year,
there were sc cases of smallpox
in ii counties with 3 deaths. Ty-
phoid fever prevailed in August
in every county in the state. The
deaths numbered 125, indicating
that there must have been in the
neighborhood of 1900 cases of
the disease. This record of ty-
phoid rivals the yellow fever rec
ord of New Orleans. At the In
diana Soldiers Home, Lafayette,
Ind, four cases of typhoid fever
were diagnosed and afterwards,
by the Vidal microscopical test,
it was found that 62 persons in
all had the disease. Very many
cases which are diagnosed ma
larial' ''chills,' debility, slight
fever are found to be typhoid
by microscopical tests.
The deaths numbered 3070,
rate 1876. In the corresponding
month last year, $3.50, rate 1872.
By important ages, the deaths
were: 665 under one year of
age; 1871 to 5; SO, 5 to 10; 55
10 to Is; so, Is to 20; 735, 65 and
over. From important causes,
the deaths we're: tuberculosis,
$40; diptheria, 12; scarlet fever,
6; whooping cough, Is; pneu-
mnoia, 81; diarrhoeal diseases,
47S; cerebro spinal meningitis,
Sc; influenza, 1; puerperal fever,
8; cancer, 126; violence, 100. OF
the violence deaths, Z were muir
ders, "a were suicides and the
remainder were accidental. The
steam railroads killed "a people
during the month, but there were
no deaths due to trolleys. q
were accidentally drowned, II ac-
cidentally shot and five were
killed by horses.
September will show a large
increase in typhoid fever over
August and there will be still a
larger increase in October. This
prediction is made upon the fact
that this state of affairs prevails
every year ind more's the pity,
for the disease is preventable.
Pneumonia and influenza deaths
will begin to increase in October,
or just as soon as the good
weather is over and people COM
mence to live indoors.

ADJUDGED INSANE.
Alice Ryan Maxey's Reason De-
throned and She; VIII Be
Sent to Insane Hospital.

Mrs. Alice Ryan Maxey, gen
orally known as True Blue
was adjudged insane IN Justice
Young's court this afternoon and
application will be made for her
admission to the Northern Indi-
ana hospital at Longcfiff.
She was arrested Saturday ev-
ening and taken to Jail on COM
p1aint of neighbors and friends
who felt that her own life and the
lives of others were in danger.
She has not been entirely
right, mentally for several years
and for the past two or three
weeks has kept her self locked up
most of the tiine with her guns
and dogs occasionally shooting
as if in fear that she was in dang
er from people passing or resid-
ing in the vicinity. She sent bull
lets through the ceiling of her
own house, fired shots from the
windows and threatened to shoot
neighbors without anyI provoca-
ton.
Thirty years ago Alice Ryan
was one of Plymouth's beautiful
educated and refined young lad
les, and the future seemed bright
for her. She was united in mar
riage with John Maxey, and they
made their home at Peru, Ind.
There she assisted her husband
as editor of the Peru Sentinel and
later was editor and publisher of
the temperance paper True Blue.
She was a leader in temperance
and religious circles and delivered
lectures in many cities. But her
mind became unbalanced, she
separated from her husband,
married an Indian and for many
years has been only a shadow of
her former self.
1t is to be hoped that a few
months or years in the asylum
will restore her reason and she
may again be a useful woman.

To the Public.

/ desire to say few things to the
public and so l nave chosen this
method of epression. This week
marks the beginning of my second
year in your city have learned to
love the people of Plymouth regard
less of religious opinions. 1 am here
by invitation and choice to help all
into a better life. Think it not
strange when l ask you not to think
of me as belonging to the Methodist
church simply, but think of me and
all the ministers of this city as be-
longing to the public. l ask for a
public interest in all the ministers
and in all the churches of our city,
rather thana denominational interest
which is the scandal of Christendom
1t is my conviction that the public
ought to be as much or more inter-
ested in the work of the church as in
the work of the school or in any
other enterprise. The church is the
greatest moral force in the world.
1t is the only institution which mas
for its sole object the regeneration
of the world Since the church is
a good institution it ought to be sup
ported by every man. The church
affords the best investment of time
and money possible to man. And |
am quite sure that we are all agreed
when l say that the emphasis of all
our lives ought to be on Christian
ideals The church ought to have the
first place in the life of Our city
rather than the fourth place fear
we have placed business, education
and fraternalism above the church.
only ask that we put first things
first. Only about one fourth of our
population is deeply interested in the
church and vitality connected with the
church. Every man woman and child
ought to have church home.
We all ought to decide at once
which one of the ten branches of the
church of God as organized in our
city suits us best, and join some one
for our own good, for the good OF
others and for the glory of God. We
extend a cordial Invitation to the
public to worship with us.

STATE WILL LOSE NOTHING.
Defazilting Auditors Bond VIII Cow
er Ali Losses.

According to Attorney-General
Charles w. Miller. who now has in
charge the legal matters pertaining
to the defsIcation of David E Sher-
rick, ex-Auditor of State, the State
will make an effort to collect the
money lost by Sherrick at the gam
ing table. 'The State has the right
to follow and collect all funds belong
ing to the state used by Mr. Sher-
rick" said Mr.. Miller.
Roscoe 0. Hawkins, representing
the American Surety Company, also
said that efforts would be made to
recover this money. IF evidence can
be adduced that some OF the money
has gone this way every effort will
be made by bis company to recover
it." He would not say whether this
effort would be made by his company
or the State, but it is understood
that the State will take the matter
up.
1t now develops that the American
Surety company will not make any
fight for the application of the Sc
curities, aggregating a face value of
about $172,o 900, that are now in the
possession of Acknowledgement Mil
ler, and that the State will have en-
tire charge of these securities. The
State, therefore. will not lose a dol
lar, for it will have for its protection
both the securities, upon which about
100000 is expected to be realized,
and the 100000 bond of the company
to cover shortage amounting to about
s147,O0O. The surety company will
be the losers. therefore. if there be
any loss, and as it is not thought
probable that the securities held will
aggregate a cash value of S147,O00,
some loss seems certain.

Auditors Bond May be Raised.

In the light of the Sherrick case
it is expected Gov. Hanly will recon-
mend to the legislature the enact
ment of a law raising the bond of
the auditor of state to $250,0O0 and
the other officers proportionately.
During the discussion of the Sher-
rick case he said that 100000 was
insufficient bond for the auditor. For
example Sherrick was short over
$500. 900 in his July settlement and if
he had desired he could have abb
seconded with the entire amount and
the state would have been out $780,
900 or more The auditor frequently
has over 100000 on hand, and the
governor thinks his bond should be
more than that
