Indianapolis. Jan. 24-Ihe heP"oi4o
an leaders in the house and senate
have decided that at least five or the
reform measures for which the Repub-
ucan pIatform declared during the
last campaign shall be passed by the
legislature, and a movement has been
started to line up the majority mem
hers in their favor The list includes
the bill to create a separate depart
ment OF insurance, with a commits
sioner Of insurance at its head, pri-
vate banking bill, public depository
bill, an antitrust bill and 2-cent fare
bill
They Were on the Platform.
The Republican platform specifical-
ly declared in favor Of these meas
ures, and the campaign was fought by
the party along the lines Of reform.
When the legislature opened the peo-
pie throughout the state expected that
the party would redeem its pledges
Of reforms, and 1t is realized by the
leaders, 80 they say, that the temper
OF the people cannot be misunderstood
or ignored. Therefore, they have de-
cided, so one Of them declared, that
at least the five bills mentioned shall
be passed. There are other measures
Of reform, also that they say will be
passed, but the decision reached, so 1T
said, is definite so far as these FIVE bills
are concerned.
Been Hearing from the Voters.
AS soon as the leaders had decided
on this action they at once began the
work of lining up the members Of the
majority in both houses. They are ex-
planning to them that it is a matter
Of the utmost Importance to the Re-
publican party that the platform dec
larations and campaign promises be
kept, and that nothing must stand in
the way of their fulfillment. During
the last few days the members of the
legislature have been hearing from
their constituents on the subject OF
these reform measures, and the tone of
the letters and messages that have been
received by them has caused them to
sit up and take notice.

A clergyman, discussing unhappy
love affairs, said:
MANY a love tragedy is caused by
a husbands promise to a dying wife
that he will not marry again. He
thinks when he makes this promise
that II will be easy to keep. Whether
il is easy or hard to keep, 1t Is o
promise rarely if ever broken. Time
and time again wldowers have sought
me out for advice on this subject.
They are In love, but they promised
their dead wives not to marry again.
Shall they break or keep this promisep
can only advise them to do as their
conscience dictates. At the same time
think II Is selfish Of dying wives to
extract such promises from their bro
ken hearted husbands. Such prom
ises, by the way, are rarely extracted
by dying husbands from broken heart
ed wives. But, then, when the dead
husbands will is read it Is usually
found that II the widow marries again

"sEVEN LEAN YEARS"

A sensation has been caused among
Biblical students in London by the dis
covery, by Brugsch Bey, the Egyptol-
ogist, OF monumental inscription tell
ing how the Nile failed to rise for seven
years in succession about LOO years
before the Christian era. A long and
terrible famine was the result. b. o.
100 is the date recognized as the be-
ginning Of the "segen lean years. de-
scribed in the Book of Genesis, and theo-
logians are interested in the continuation
which the discovery gives, in hard facts,
to the Bible story. The account of the
failure of the Nile and the continuous
famine throughout the land was told in
a number of extraordinary hieroglyPhlcs,
which Brugsch Bey, fortunately, has
been able 10 decipher.
