FIREMAN's MIND UNBALANCED
William d. Baxter Committed to st
Elizabeth ASYLUM.

William ID. Baxter. fireman of truck G.
was examined by Drs. Wall and Barry.
police surgeons. last night and. at their
recommendation, was committed to st.
Elizabeth Asylum for treatment. He lived
at 225 Adams street. Anacostia, with his
wife and son.
Baxter, IL is said. has been acting pecu-
liarly for some time. but it was not par
ticularly noticeable until this week Monday
1t was observed that Baxter was acting
strangely and his peculiar conduct became
more noticeable yesterday. In the after
noon after drill Baxter rushed upstairs to
his cot and. weeping like a child. began
to tear his shirt Into shreds. The captain
then called in the police surgeons.
Baxter was formerly an attendant at
st. Elizabeth Asylum, and he was ap-
pointed to the fire department from that
position From peculiar things which he
has done In the past II has been suspected
that his mind was not clear.
His wife told the authorities that her.
husband had been acting strangely about
the house for some time and that he had
threatened to kill her and himself.

RAILROAD RATE BILL.
Committee on Interstate Commerce
Begins to Despair of Reaching
Agreement.

That the members of the State
Committee on Interstate Commerce
may never get together on a railway
rate bill is highly probable. That they
are hopelessly divided on the Hep
burn House measure is a certainty.
The upshot of the whole matter may
be a report of inability to agree.
The section of the Hepburn meas
ure on which opinion is greatly at
variance is the one giving the Inter
state Commerce Commission power
to put its decision into effect before
the Supreme Court can pass on its
legality or reasonableness. The Hep
burn bill expressly provides for appeal
and priority in hearing and deterniin-
alton over all cases save criminal but
a singer follows, when it is declared
appeal shall not vacate Or suspend
the order appealed from" Rehearing
of a case is left TO the discretion OF
the commission.
There is no denying the fact that
the Hepburn bill fully covers the rec
concentrations made by Roosevelt in
his message. In fact, some contend
it is a more stringent measure than
the President would have drafted.

Books For ALI Citizens.

In order to give publicity to the
work of the state library, w. E. Hen
ry, state librarian is emphasizing the
fact that since the legislature of 1903
the state library is able to send books
from its shelves to any citizen of the
state. Previous to this time none of
the books could be taken out of the
library, but the legislature authorized
this plan in 1909.
And now the 10000 books OF the
library are available to everyone in
the state, so that if any citizen OF
Plymouth Wishes a volume for refer
ence work all he has to do is to write
Mr.. Henry for it. The big drawback
is the fact that the sender has to pay
transportation both ways.
According to Mr. Henry, however
there is now a bill pending before
congress that will remedy this diff
Guilty to a large extent. The bill pro-
vides, in effect, that books thus loaned
from a public library are to be trans
ported at the fourth class rate-one
cent an ounce. So a book that costs
25 cents to carry now would only cost
about two cents, thus reducing the
postage to a purely nominal sum.

A Pandora's Box of Weather.

If varities of climate are an indi-
cation of the size of a country, the
United States was certainly an imper-
ial domain, on Sunday, January 81,
1906; and that without counting in her
lately acquired insular possessions.
Consider the record,
Trees blooming in Connecticut;
caterpilalrs crawling, wasps buzzing,
and butterflies futtering in Vermont;
boys swimming in the creeks of Penn
sylvania; crowds bathing in the surf
at Coney Island; golf playing in Buff
alo; base ball in Cleveland; park
loungers in Chicago; prostrations
from heat in Pittsburg; people frozen
to death in Louisiana; snow slides in
Colorado; snow-bound trains in New
Mexico; gales and floods in Wiscon-
sin; blizzard of sleet in Missouri and
Kansas; 80 degrees below zero in
Minnesota and so below in Alaska
These are weather specimens exhibit
ed on that day Plymouth had a tenn
perature of 6S the day before, and a
succession of summer showers were
its contribution on the 21st, with the
mercury registering 60 degrees.

Republican Newspapers Should Stand
by Hanly.

Such politicians of both parties as
hav been perfectly sure that Governor
Hanly is riding for fall will doubt
less be elated at Judge Carriers ruling
on the Storms demurrer, says the In
diahapolis Star. 1t is unfortunate
in all respects that issues of law,
evidence and jurisdiction should be
so inextricably bound up with ques-
tons of public policy The Governor
may be right, example, and the stat
ute under which he is proceeding be
unconstitutional in whole or in part;
or he might be unjustly prosecuting
Storms on the other hand, and yet
operating strictly within his legal
rights. Yet it is past all denying that
slip or a setback now would be as
siduously availed of by those not in
sympathy with his recent movements
To all such we have only to say that
disappointments and nothing more
can be the lot of those of either party
who look fondly forward to a cam,
paign this year in which the Repub-
lican party stands on platform
pointing with pride to Sherrick,
Storms, Ward and other opposition
the Governor has acquired in dis
charging his duty Cheer up, good
people all; it will never happen.
The Williamsport Republican says:
Governor Hanly has burrowed deep
and uncovered a nest of enemies to
good and honest government. He
shields neither friend nor foe En-
forcement of the law is his paramount
object He cannot stop until the
cleaning is completed. He has already
shown that there will be no half way
job of the business, but that he will
continue the work until he has made
his party clean. He does not wait
for Democrats to carry the state be-
fore the books are opened and the &C
counts fully audited Stand by Han
ly."
Stand by Hanly" should be the slo-
gan of Republican voters who believe
in good government and the perpet-
uation of the sound principles of their
party. By supporting the head of the
state in his efforts to purge his party
of official dishonesty, Republicans
will be aiding in making the party
stronger and convey TO the voters.
whose support they will seek this fall
for the ticket, that officers who betray
| the peoples trust cannot hope to es-
cape punishment for their official ras-
cality Whatever may be the sneers
cast at Hanly by the friends of Sher-
rick, Storms and Ward, for the fight
he is waging against evil-doers, or
those who may dislike him personally
it cannot be gainsaid that he is doing
the commonwealth of Indiana great
service in driving corrupt scoundrels
from office, and also in striving to
raise the moral standard of the cities
of the state by an observance of laws
hitherto enforced only at the option
of police boards, which have been
brazenly bold in the winking at vio-
lations of the states statutes

Pressure on Mayor Bidanan.

The city council of Terre Haute,
which failed to remove Mayor Bid
aman from office in an impeachment
proceeding, lacking one vote OF the
necessary two-thirds, has by a prac-
tically unanimous vote decided to put
pressure on him to enforce the sa-
loon-closing law and remove Chief
of Police Lintz
The charges against him were fail
ure to enforce the law and retaining
LintZ. There was no denial as TO the
truth of the charges, but the council
did not think he should be sacrificed
Now it is known, the council intends
TO demand that he recognize the SEN
timent against his policy.

The Chronicle Condemns Itself.

The Weekly Chronicle condemns
itself in the following article. 1t
says:
When the democratic district con-
ventior met III Plymouth recently no
person was present from Pulaski
county, SO that county could not vote
IN the convention. Nevertheless, it
was decided that no one should be
chairman of the district unless he re-
ceived majority of the total dele
gate vote of the district. This was
considered fair by all, and is in mark
ed contrast to the methods used in
the Republican county organization
recently"
In organizing the Republican coun-
ty committee, townships from which
no committeeman were present were
not allowed to vote, and W. G.. Hen
bricks received Is votes which is a
majority of the entire county COM
mlttee there being but 33 precincts
in the county. Therefore the same
method was used which the Chron-
icle says was used in the Democratic
convention and which it says was
considered fair by ALL Every time the
Chronicle attempts to discuss the or
ganization of the county committee
1t puts its foot in it" 1t takes a
smarter man than Mr.. Boys to prove
that what is right is wrong The
Republican organization is all right
and the Chronicle knows 1t.

Notable Case of Child of Nature Who
Slept in the Woods and Ate


Without a home for eighty years,

perhaps the most notable example of
the Simple life" in the State had at
last been given an abiding place at
the Miami County Inhrmary,- where
he will end his days
If Columbus Hicks had a home in
his childhood, the oldest citizens can
not now remember it, For many
years he has been a familiar figure
about the country. He was a veritable
child of nature. He gathered nuts,
roots and herbs and sold them, thus
making a scant living
He tramped the woods and fields
constantly, stunning all companion
ship. He slept wherever he could
find soft spot and ate wherever he
could find an hospitable farmer or a
bush of berries.
Until a short time ago he had the

who lives out of doors. Constant sol
itude and his advanced years are said
to have brought about his mental
weakness.
In his later years he became known
as "The Human Crazy Quilt" He
had fashion of patching his clothing
with goods of another color from that
of the garment patched.
In cold weather the old man had
often been seen to buIld a fire upon
the ground, warm himself, then brush
the embers away and lie down upon
the warm earth and sleep as peace
fully as a child Nothing was ever
known of any of his relatives. There
is story to the effect that he was
brought to Miami county and aban-
doned by the Indians.
