Our Noble Statesmen Sat Up
Until After Two O'clock
This Morning Wrestling
With the Bill. s
Palladium Bureau,


Calculations made here today show
that under the bill which the COVER
nor prepared and which the legisla-
ture passed this morning. reducing tho
sinking fund tax levy from three
cents to one and one half cents. taxes
win be reduced during the next two
years about $500 and the state will
still be able to meet all appropria-
tions. The governor announced that
Burt New of North Vernon is to be
appointed legal adviser in the COVER
nor's office at $500 year. New was
defeated for reporter of the supreme
court last fall. The governor says he
will ask the auditor and the secretary
of state to join him in the appoint
ment of two lawyers to determine
whether he has right to appoint q
custodian of the state house. This Of
flee controls twenty-three jobs In the
state house.
Turn Back The Hands.
The hands on the senate clock
showed IL o'clock and on the house
clock, 10:45 when the legislature ad-
journed at 2:15 this morning. The
hands on the clocks were set back
several times to enable adjournment
before midnight. It was after one
o'clock, when the conference commit
tee on the appropriations bill made
Its report. 1t reduced the appropria-
tions about $4,000 at last nights
meeting. making the total in the bill,
as finally passed. $8,215, 1911 The
governor agreed to sign the bill pro.
viding the legislature would amend
the Thornton cities and towns bill SO
as to exclude cities of the first, sec.
ond and third class and to exclude the
provision that city officers may be re.
elected. This was done. Only fourth
and fifth class city officers can now
be reelected. After this was amended
the appropriations bill was presented
In both houses and both agreed to the
amendments made by the conference
committee.
The Custodian Fight.
The legislature then adjourned sine
die. The question Of appointment oi
custodian OF. the state house is still
up in the air. Democrats conceded
that the title should be superfnten
dent of public grounds and buildings
as the republicans demanded and this
is taken to mean the democrats have
abandoned the idea of the governor
making the appointment The COVER

Caught in Revolving Shaft,
Harry Miller WhirIed Around
Until His Arm Was Torn Out
Of Socket.
JACKET SLEEVE WAS
CAUGHT By A SCREW
instantly the Unfortunate Man
Was Jerked From His P0-
sition and Lifted Upward
And Hurled About.

Cambridge City, Ind, March o.
Whirling about, head over heels
around and around line shaft until
his arm was pulled from the socket
and his body finally released was the
horrible experience through which
Harry B. Miller passed this morning.
Miller is an employe of the American
Casket company. He was at work in
the basement at the factory and was
reaching up over the rapidly revolving
shaft, when set screw caught the
sleeve of his work jacket Instantly
Miller was pulled from his position
and dragged upwards. First his arm
shot over the shaft and as the whirl-
ing shaft continued, Miller was drag
ged from his feet and lifted up and
swung entirely over the shaft When
the arm came from the socket and
torn the flesh off the ribs. the body
was released so that it fell to the
floor.
Suffering Terrible.
Miller suffered excrutiating pain
His head was battered against the
shafting and against the ceiling above
The arm was crushed and the bones
broken. The unfortunate man was
rendered unconscious. A physician
was summoned quickly. but could dt
little to appease the mans sufferings
Miller will be unable to work fol
several weeks. 1t can not be deter
mined Whether the injury WIN prove
permanent or not. There is reason t.
believe the arm never will be able tt
perform the functions the same a!
before the accident. Miller has had 1
number of accidents and nearly ever!
bone in his body has been broken
| About year ago he was thrown from
a horse and suffered the fracture O
a lower limb.

ENGLAND HAS GREAT
BUYING EXPERIMENT

A standing problem with the country
merchant is. how to meet the COM
petition Of the big mail-order houses
that buy S2O,000.000, Ss0.OOO00O or S40.-
600 600 worth OF merchandise a year,
usually for spot cash. and distribute IL
directly TO country customers. A help
ful hint may, perhaps. be discovered
abroad, says the Saturday Evening
Post.
The greatest wholesale merchandis-
ing institution in the world, according
to an authority, is the British Co
Operative Wholesale Society, the en-
tire capital stock Of which, divided
in S25 shares. is held by retail shops.
The retailers elect the directors of the
wholesale society and have entire man
agement of it. Tho society buys its
goods in the cheapest markets Of the
world for spot cash, dealing direct IN
every case with the manufacturer OF
grower In some lines IL has It's own
factories and plantations. IL supplies
a retail trade amounting TO more thar
$500, 100000 a year. 1t does not have
to take the ordinary wholesaler
chances OF finding an outlet for its
goods. Its own retailing stockholderl
provide the outlet Thus It is able q
buy, or to manufacture, far ahead will
complete confidence.
In the English case the retail shopl
that own tho wholesale establishment
are themselves cooperative and arr
practically owned by their customers
who share the profits. Retail Co
operation has never succeeded yer,
conspicuously in this country; but th'
success Of a combination in a dimeren
form has been brilliant-witness thi
oil and steel trusts. With us combi
nation works at the top. The MAJ
nearest to the consumer, the retail
merchant, still stands aloof from it.

Mrs. Mary Browning Of Rochester. n. ".

sort yesterday afternoon she leaned on
the show case and her feathered hat and

tried TO wrest the flaming bonnet from

The flames burned nearly all her hair
from her head. destroyed her eyebrows
and eye lashes. and inflicted burns about
the face and neck which Il is feared may
dishgure her for life.

struggled with the woman and finally tore
away the hat, burning his own hands.
Mrs. Browning was taken to the Contl-
