Plain Facts.

Once upon a time there were gath
cred together dozen women high in
the councils of education. When the
business which occupied them had been
disposed of, a quiet woman asked their
attention to a matter of her personal
experience.
In the course of her service on n
certain committee it became her duty
to visit the rooms of a girls dOrmi-
tory in a college. Some alterations
were to be made in the building. As
she went into room after room, she
was startled by the amazing spectacle
which met her at every threshold. To
say that the rooms were in disorder
would convey but faint idea of the
facts.
Skirts, shoes, hats, gloves, books,
papers, cake. fruit, collars. ties, blOuseS,
pens, pencils, cOrSets, stockings, pic
lures, sweaters, Observation-Disclosures
and candy, pillows, letters and
curls were a few of the articles strewn
on the floors. Closets were even more
cluttered than the rooms. Confusion
was worse COMPOUNDED with actual dirt.
Herrick's sweet disorder in the dress
was here become disorder which did
not commend itself to any of the senses.
What more dire revelations might have
been made by the bureau drawers the
visitor was glad not to learn.
She told her story to the listening
women, and when she ended, it was
greeted with a melancholy chorus of
sympathy. Every woman could verify
some detail of what she had heard by
what she had herself seen.
Modern life and modern education,
they declared. were thrusting out the
dainty Ia bit of mind and of hand from
the character of young women. After
an hour of discussion, the woman who
had preached the subject turned to the
wiseSt, most experienced educator
among them and said, Miss Blank,
what can be done about this?"
There was a moments silence, and
then she answered, 'Nothing!" and the
meeting broke up and the women went
dejectedly away.
Would the mothers of the girls make
the same reply?-YOuth's Companion.

Ruling Made in Sewage Dis
posal Plant Case.
Demurrer IS OpERRULED
State Officials May Defend
the City.
Judge William F. Duncan Renders
His Decision and il is Averse to
the Company which Built Plant.

A crushing blow was given the
Clinton Foundry and Machine COM
pany, the builders of the local gar.
bage disposal plant, by Judge WILL
lam f. Duncan, or Findlay, Judge
OF the court of Common Pleas who
heard the demurrer of the company
against the answer and cross petit
tion OF the auditor OF state, recently
In his decision the court states
that the contract made by the Clin-
ton Foundry and Machine company
with the city of Marion was in
tended to be and did operate a
fraud upon the city. The demurrer
to the answer and cross petition OF
the auditor of state was oyerruled
by Judge Duncan, which means
that the state officials have the
right to enter the suit and protect
the interests of the city of Marion
when officials OF the city refuse to
take part.
The title OF the case is the Marion
National Bank against the City OF
Marion.
After the building of the disposal
plant Herman s. Blaich brought
suit against the Clinton Foundry
and Machine company for S2.6OO
which he claimed to be due for
services in helping the company se-
cure the contract. In fact. It was
claimed, that Blaich had agreed to
"persuade" the council to accept the
contract for that amount of money.
The plaintiff attached s2,700 belong
ing to the company, which was on
deposit in the Marion National bank.
Judge B. G. Young heard the case
and dismissed Blaich's petition, stat
ing that the whole transaction was
rotten with graft. The court ordered
