count STATES MONEY
EVERY THIRTY DAYS
The State Treasurer Goes
Through 100000.
CHANGE ON DECEMBER 1ST.

Few people in Indiana know that
regularly at the first of each month
the money in the state treasury must
be hauled from the big steel vaults in
which it is kept and counted. Counted
it must be in order that the state treas
urer may know whether or not his act
ual cash on hand TALES with the foot
ings on his books.
Sometimes the work of counting this
money proves to be herculean task.
Sometimes it requires from one to
three or four days in which to do the
work At other times it is done IN
two or three hours. 1t depends upon
the condition in which the money
comes into the treasury.
On the first of July State Treasurer
Oscar Hadley and his deputies counted
100000. However. the money was
counted in about three hours time for
the reason that over half of it consist
ed of ST 900 bills. The rest was in
gold and silver paper of smaller de-
nominations.
When the new depository law goes
into effect Dec. 1. the counting of the
money in the state treasury will be
abolished. for the money will be depos-
tied in banks.

DIVIDE THE CHILDREN
BY ORDER OF COURT
Florence BenboW Given a Di-
vorce by Judge Fox.
TELLS A PITIFUL STORY.

Florence Benbow was granted a
James Benbow. Mrs. Benbow testi-
fled that it was unsafe for herself
and three children to live with Ben
bow because of his hard drinking and
she also testified that her husband
had twice threatened to kill himself
and the children. Notwithstanding
this testimony Mrs. Benbow only ask
ed for the custody of the youngest
child girl, and her attorney. Henry
U. Johnson, suggested that Benbow
be awarded the custody of the two
oldest children This action was TAX
en- by the court with the approval Of
John F. Robbins, who appeared for
Benbow.
Mrs. Benbow stated that she had
been married to Benbow for ten years
and during that time he had gone on
sprees about twice a year. The past
six months, she stated, he had got
drunk ever pay day, which is twice
a month When drunk, she stated
he cursed her, had twice threatened
to kill himself and children, and had
twice broken the furniture. One
night he went on such violent TRADE
that the next door neighbors knocked
on the wall for silence. She stated
that this caused BenbOw to leave the
house with a threat that he would
never return again. Benbow said that
he was back in five minutes. His
vicious actions when intoxicated, Mrs.
Benbow stated. had wrecked her ner-
vous system. She said that one night
she became so frightened at his ac-
tons that she had chiils.

ted to President Roosevelt today. The
present report deals with prices and

from Mr.. Smith to the president, in
which the commissioner makes a
scathing summary of the facts found
In the report.
In concluding his letter Mr. Smith
gives a resume of the facts he holds

light than ever.
Bitter in Denunciation.
1.-The following facts are proved"
says Mr.. Smith, as the climax of his
letter. THE Standard has not reduc-
ed margins during the period in which
it has been responsible for the prices
of oil. During the last eight years
covered by this report 1S9S to 1905.
it has raised both pricez and margins.
It's domination has not been acquired
or maintained by its superior eff
cheney, but rather by unfair competi-
ton and by methods economically and
morally unjustifiable. The Standard
has superior efficiency in running its
own business: it has an equal efficiency
in destroying the business of compel
itors. 1t keeps for itself the profits
of the first and adds to these the mo-
nopoly profits secured by the second.
Its profits are far above the highest
possible standard of reasonable COM
mercial return, and have been steadily
increasing.
Finally, the history of this great in
dustry, is a history of the persistent
use of the worst Industrial methods.

John Ellis, Aged Eighteen, Was
Struck on the Head by
Pitched Ball.
CONCLUSIONS DEVELOPED,
ONE OPERATION PERFORMED TO
REMOVE PRESSURE FROM THE
BRAIN BUT A SECOND MAY BE
NECESSARY.

One of the most unusual cases that

that of John Ellis. Jr., Is years of age
a son of John Ellis of Greensboro.
Young Ellis Sunday. July as, while
playing base ball with the Green's
fork team against Hagerstown, in his
home town was struck in the head
by pitched ball and he then became
unconscious. He regained his senses
however and apparently was suffering
no evil effects from the accident, al
though complaining few times of an
aching head. Saturday he went into
violent commissions.
The parents of the boy were great
~ alarmed, as they suspected the in
jury which the boy had received the
Sunday previous was responsible. DR..
Charles Marvel of this city was call
ed to Greensboro where he performed
the exceedingly difficult surgical oper-
alton of trephining the skull to re-
lieve the pressure upon the boys
BRAIN This was successful and the
commissions ceased. The lad, still in
precarious condition was removed
to the local hospital Sunday and
since his arrival there. has been suf-
fering with a series of slight convul-
sions.
In case the first operation proves
not wholly satisfactory, the second
will be performed and a portion of the
lad'c skull remOyed blood clOt on
the brain is considered the cause of
the boys suffering. He is in a crit.
cal condition.
