MERRILL CAN CARE
FOR DUTIES SOON
As Soon as He Secures His
Bond He Can Take Posi-
ton as City Clerk.
CONFIRMATION NOT NEEDED
PROMINENT ATTORNEYS DE-
CLARE THAT TAGGART'S RESiG-
NATION WAS EFFECTIVE WHEN
SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL

There was no development today in
the city clerkship matter, so far as
could be learned, and the situation
promises to solve itself with the pass
ing of a few more days. Mr.. Taggart
was on duty in the office today c. w
Merrill, who has been appointed to
the place by the mayor, is arranging
for his bond, which will be issued by a
surety company. and when this is re
ceived he will be sworn in and will
take up his duties. The administra
ton has secured the opinion of three
attorneys, City Attorney Study, Henry
L. Johnson and Prosecutor Jessup
which are to the effect that MIR. Tag
CART is no longer clerk and hence ii
would not be necessary to wait upon
the confirmation Of Merrill's appoint
ment by council for him TO begin his
duties.

Der of flaming posters, printed in red
and black ink, calling on the farmers,
mechanics and worliingmen in general
to take a stand to mead off the wave
of prohibition that. the bills declare,

claim that if the liquor traffic were to

These posters have also brought out
the fact that practically every uptown

companies because Of their having en-

through the medium of agents, and
that the independent saloon men have

the brewing companies may make 20

FRIENDS DROP SUIT
Minority Decided to Drop Case
Affecting Friends Church
AT Amboy, Ind.
CHURCH WAS WROUGHT UP.

Amboy, Ind. Feb. THE differ
the last three years have at last been
settled in favor of the majority. The
trouble originated over the selection
of site for a new house of worship.
A minority of the families opposed u
removal to the uptown site and favor
ed a continuance in the old location.
The opponents to the uptown site
were greatly in the minority, but as 1t
is a cardinal principle of the Friends
10 endeavor to arbitrGtC all Difference
es, the matter was debated and voted
upon several times in the local month
~ or business meetings, then in quar-
terly meeting. and It was afterward
carried to the Yearly Meeting at Rich
ond. Then five of the best known
friends in the United States were COM
missioned to arbitrate the matter, all
parties agreeing to abide by the arbi-
iration.
This commission decided in favor of
the new site, but the minority did not
accept the ruling as final. Mean
while, the new house of worship was
erected at cost of $4,000, and it was
dedicated on the Doth of last Deem
Der. with all Indebtedness lifted.
In August last the minority had ap-
pealed to the Circuit court, but trial
was postponed several times. Event
ually the court set it down for hear
ing on the Sd Of February, and after
a number of witnesses had been ex-
amined the complaint was Withdrawn.
The minority pays all costs, with the
exception of attorney fees. on part of
defendant.

DEALER PASSED
FRAUDULENT CHECK
Junk Dealer of Indianapolis
Gave Worthless Paper on
indianapolis Bank.
BAILEY IN INDIANAPOLIS.
WILL BRING THE MAN BACK TO
THIS CITY WHERE HE WILL
HAVE TO FACE cHARGE-JAFFE
BROTHERS FLEECED.

Chief of Police Bailey is at Indian
apolis in an effort TO secure Schap-
penstein, junk dealer who is wanted
on warrant issued here, charging
him with passing a worthless check.
Bailey left for indianapolis on Thurs
day, but has not yet returned and 1t
was understood he was having some
trouble to get possession Of his man.
The story surrounding the case, as
told by a member of the firm Of Jeffe
Brothers, junk dealers on North
Fourth street, is to the effect that
Schappenstein came to them and
wanted to buy some rags. They made
a deal with him by which he secured
stuff to the value Of $73.77, and gave
the firm a check drawn on the Capital
National bank of Indianapolis. This
check was presented by the Jafte
Brothers to the Second National bank
of this city and forwarded to Indian
apolis for collection, but came back
with the information that Schappen-
stein had no money in that bank. a
member of the local firm then went to
indianapolis and attempted to have a
personal settlement with Schappen-
stein, but was unsuccessful in this, as
he was told by Schappenstein, in no
unmistakable language, just what he
might do, so he says Jaffe then re-
turned HON and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Schappenstein and it
was on the strength Of this that Bailey
made the trip to indianapolis. Schap-
penstein lives at GA South Illinois
street, but it appears has no regular
place of business.

Curious Lighting Methods.

Some curioSities of Illumination,
mostly survivals from past ages, are
described in the Illuminating Engineer
by l. Lodian.' who desires, he says, to
show that. amid all the most improV-
ed and ablest systems of lighting the
globe has ever known, the quaint and
crude persist almost side by side with
the most modern. He goes on to say:
Here and there in some of the Sictl-
ian Easements along Manhattan's Null
berry street you see gourdshaped OBJ
jects containing a small light. They
are semi-tranSlucent containers, thus
casting dim light around and below,
and take the place of night lights. This
singular illumipant is, or was, pure
butter; it is the bala-turro (ball but
teri of the Italians, but, becoming so
rancid as to be unfit for table or kitch-
Ell use, is utilized as light with some
bits of string for a wick. The gourd
like container is of pure cheese, which
had been worked up in a lukewarm
state rapidly about the icecold ball of
sweet butter, then rapidly cooled, and
finished on ice.
Butter may thus be preserved I'M
sailed for a long time, and both i1.-
terror and exterior are always perfect
ly edible. BUT trade returns of stick
do, however, contained percentage OF
rancifled ones, and it is these which
are used as lights. When exhausted.
rancid butter or open up another butter
ball. The cheese-container is never
contaminated by the rancid contents,
and is finally used up in the soup pot
by the thrifty Ligurian, or is ground
into powder as a macaroni condiment.
The farm houses of central Poland
and Hungary, the writer goes on to tell
us, often use homemade candles of
dingy, greenish-black coal-Wax, or
crude ozocerite, from the bituminous
shales in the region. They dig 1t up
and throw it into boiling water, when
the wax rises to the surface. 1t has
an odor of kerosene, and the light is
more or less smoky, but ozocerite when
decolored becomes a pure cream-wh1te
product, the cerasin of commerce, from
which high grade candles are made.
Many years ago. Mr.. Lodian says, a
Paris firm tried to market the natural
color black coal-waX candles, guaran-
teed smokeless, but the effort proved a
total failure.-Literary Digest.

ALTMAN TUGBOAT.


The prize athlete of the New York
police department distinguished him
self not long ago by swimming He'll
gate towing by a rope attached to his
shoulders, two row boats containing
nine persons. The dead weight rep
resented is estimated at 1000 pounds.
and this was a dead weight until the
swimmer had given to it a momentum.
The force which he exerted to start
the boats is shown by the fact that
the rope about his shoulders wore
through his jersey a red bruise on his
skin. The performance did not, how
ever. leave him especially exhausted.
Contrast with this expert swimmer,
thinking little of towing 2 900 pounds
across a swift current. the average
person who cannot save his own life il
cast into the water. Contrast the COM
plete at-homeness of the swimmer
with the utter helplessness of the
person who has never learned what
he might do in the water. 1t is a
contrast that needs to be emphasized.
The human animal was not intended
to be a tugboat, but there is excellent
evidence that he was intended to take
care of himself in the water, just as
other animals do. The human sinks
because of his inherent fear of the
water. His mind, operating in fear,
tells him that he will sink, and he
does sink. The child too young to
reason, and consequently too young to
know fear, will fare better than the
adult, will make some instructive mo-
ton like swimming, and might even
keep afloat for a time. Floating is the
easiest of all water accomplishments
and swimming is the next. Either is
the next thing to breathing. except
for that fear which keeps the human
from exercising his natural powers.
1t would seem that the demonstration
of the difficult things which trained
swimmer can do in the water might
have desirable effect in teaching any
person the ease and desirability of
learning at least the rudiments of
watercraft. 1t is a simple lesson
whose lack annually destroys lives by
the thousand.
