ROBBING COUNTIES
THROUGH THE STATE.
Many state officials Rob County Treas
uries of Indiana.

The right of the state to exact funds
from the county treasurers at any time
regardless of the law of the last legis-
lature, is proving a bone of contention.
In some counties the demand of the
state treasurer is being resisted. The
demand of the treasurer of state will
be tested in the courts, according to
an understanding. The attorneys rep
resenting the county board of finance of
Marion county, in which Indianapolis is
located, have practically agreed that
the states demands should be re-
sisted.
The stand taken by Marion county
in the matter will be laid before his
exalted majesty. the governor, by one
of his fellows, Attorney General Bing-
ham If 1t is held that the state has
the right to make demand for state
funds at any time, then the amount
named will be due and payable to the
state at once. The state, If upheld, will
profit by the use of from 100000 to
$40. 100000 for period of at least six
ty days prior to July which would
otherwise remain to the credit of the
various counties of the state.
Attorney General Bingham said the
OehSF might That CHoFe ndo DSen no
intimation in his presence that the
county would not pay the money.
Nothing has been said to- me-" said
Mr.. Bingham, about fling suit against
the county, and I am certainly not pre-
pairing to file suit at the present time.
There will probably be further confer
ences regarding the matter tomorrow.
OF course, if the county continues to
refuse payment we may have to file
suit TO collect the money

planned for the encampment, also the
time and place for the public camp
fires. The last named should, and
doubtless will attract the public in
large numbers. The campfires are the
experience meetings of the old soldiers.
In them they live over in memory the
long gone days of camp and march and
battle. AS their thoughts dwell on the
far-away years of the great struggle,
their fancies catch the glow of the
blood-red sixties. their eyes flash again
with the old battle light and their
shoulders straighten from the stoop of
age and square themselves in martial
bearing. There is a charm to their re-
citals that fingers long in the memory
of the listener and there is in the very
presence of these grim old fighters a
fascination that can not be resisted Of
all the encampment attractions, none,
perhaps, viii be as much enjoyed by
the old soldiers themselves as the camp
fires. Among those who will speak in
these meetings are several members Of
the Indiana supreme and appellate
benches. notably Judges Rabb and
Comstock
The encampment parade will be IN
many ways a different spectacle than
was ever before presented at an en-
campment in this state. In one division
will be the mayors of fifty or more of
the principal cities and towns Of In
! diana. These men are coming and
going to participate in the parade not
with any thought of attracting atten-
tion to themselves. but to the end that
! they may do honor to the cities they
represent and to themselves in partici-
pating in a demonstration In honor of
the defenders and preservers of the ma
tons life and honor.
| In the column will be several COM
panies of the Indiana National Guard,
many camps of Sons of Veterans, a
/ brigade of the Uniform Rank knights
of Pythias and several hundred repre-
sentatives of the Spanish war societIes,
among them the band from the National
Military Home at Marion and that from
the Soldiers and Sailors and Orphans
Home at Knightsown.
In accordance with a suggestion
made by Department Commander w. A
Ketcham, the local committee on pa
rade has provided a line of march OF
just a mile in length. All of it is on
paved streets and q large part of il
is shaded. It is believed that there
will be not fewer than 5000 G. A. r
men in the marching column, as the
distance is so short that hundreds who
would not undertake a long march
VIII gladly participate.
Another attraction of the parade
column will be the automobile section
Fifty or more touring cars will be
at the head of the column, carrying
the officers and past officers of the G
A R., and w. r. c., and other dis.
tinguished visitors and disabled vet

GET ANOTHER CARRIER
Postmaster w. Fl. Gostlin
Gets Additional Increase
in Postoffice Force.

1t is the unexpected good fortune
of POSTMASTER w. H. Gostlin and his
assistant, Otto Rabe, to announce that
another carrier will be added to the
force at once. George F. Pearson is
the man who will wear the blue of
Uncle Sans service in the future. He
has been a sub" since last October.
The carrier was asked in order that
the service might be improved all over
the city. 1t was not expected that the
request would be granted so soon but
it was and so the entire city south of
the Calumet river will have to be re-
districted.
City Redistricted.
The districts will be changed to meet
the demands of the city both for the
present and the future. The districts
in and around the business center are
of course pretty we'll established but
those on the outskirts of the city are
the ones which the rapid growth of
the city has made il necessary to
change.
1t will be news to a great many
people in Hammond to know that there
are now being two mails dispatched
daily on the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Louisville railroad. This enables the
people Of Hammond to have direct
rail communication with such cities as
Dolton. Riverdale and MerriIlvilIe
which were formerly not reached from
this city.
Oother Cities Reached.
1t will also be possible to send mail
direct to several important cities down
| state which are not reached by either
the Monon or the Erie railroads. This
] is a great advantage and comes from
being on the main line of still another
| railroad.
! The residents of the city at the
/ Standard settlement will not be pro-
vided with free delivery for some time
owing to the fact that there are no ce-
ment walks and no numbers on the
doors of the houses. This is one of the
requirements before the service will be
installed and it is expected to be an in
centive to the residents Of this part OF
the city to get busy and make those
very necessary improvements.

ARE SOUTH CHICAGO
POLICEMEN TO MARRY /?

How many Of the South Chicago po-
licemen are guilty-the word guilty,
means guilty of soon going to be
married and desert the bachelor ranks.
The story is freely circulated through
the fifteenth precinct station today
that three different men have been
mentioned as possible" These men
were questioned but all denied thst
such was the case.
The story originated through the re-
ceipt of a huge bunch of flowers that
was sent to the station by a mes senger
for one of the officers which was fol-
lowed by several little affectionate
notes. Anyway, they must have been
affectionate judging from the way the
policemen smiled nd wiped away the
perspiration from his forehead.

Sincerely yours,
MRS. J.. MOHLER.

The letter explains itself and
If the organization represented by the
writer, contains anything like the
amount and quality of the talent dis
played in the Hammond show, and is
put before the public as it was, it goes
without saying that it will be a success.
The ladies believe however, that it
will be a difficult matter to duplicate
the Dear Little Buttercup" as por-
trayed by Mrs. c. A. Burnett. or to find
a black nanny who could give as per-
feet a representation Of the old planta-
ton darky as did Mrs. George Arthur
without going to Louisiana to get one.
The same may be said of the Hot
TomaIe vendor, Mr. F. I. Ellick, whose
"Old Black Joe" was as true to life as
could be found north Of the Mason and
Dixon line Where could be discov-
cred a popcorn pedler equal to Mrs.
NJ Hover with her funny little wagon
and her inimicable costume? Have the
people in Dover as fascinating a
Gypsy as Mrs. Frank Hammond? And
where, outside of Broadway and Ann
street, New York, in front of the old
Herald building, could be found such
another Apple Annie as Mrs. T. L FL
