Not Liver FIuke.

In speaking of the conditions of the
dairy districts in this vicinity, and the
loss Of so many horses lately. Dr..
Knowles stated that i'm his opinion the
deaths were not due to liver huke in
the cattle and spinal menengitis in the
horses, but, from the reported condi-
tons and the post norton examina-
tons, he was induced TO believe that
death was probably due to poisoning
and as there is but one poisoning that
causes death without leaving it's traces
in the vital organs, he is inclined to be
lieve that there are some species of the
'nightshade' plant i'm this vicinity
which causes sOlanine poisoning.
An effort will be made to determine
if there be any nightshade in this vi
cinity, but this is the work Of a bot
anist. and an expert along that line will
very probably be employed to assist in
ferreting out the cause Of death.
One reason why DR.. Knowles refuses
TO believe that the COWS die of liver
huke is that they die so suddenly here.
According to authorities. liver huke
seldom causes death among cattle. and
when it does it is only by a very slow
process, covering about one month. and
is virtually starvation.
DT. Knowles suggests the the special
lists get together and lend their assist
ance in determining the cause of the
loss of so many cattle. The state has
made an appropriation of but $4,000 for
this work, and he thinks that the
amount would hardly pay team hire
in getting at the bottom Of
things.

WARNS. THE PARENTS
J. B. Gordon in Address States
That Lincoln Should Not
Be IdeaIized.
SPEAKS AT HIGH SCHOOL

Impressive exercises were held at
the high school chapel yesterday after
noon by the school in memory of Lin
coin. J. Bennett Gordon was the prin-
cipal speaker. His subject was the
Formative Period of Lincoln's Life
Several musical numbers including
vocal and instrumental pieces were
rendered.
In his address Mr.. Gordon declared
that the true life of Lincoln was be-
ing lost from the fact that American
parents were too apt to idealize him.
He declared that the teachings of the
parents to their children should be
true to Lincoln's life: that his life
should not be held as a phenomenal
one. He did not attempt to belittle
Lincoln in the memory of the people
but instead brought out the true feat
ures of his life, combining the ordi-
nary with the good.

Local Legislators Tell of the
Operations of the Sus-
pected Machine.
WORKS IN BOTH BRANCHES
IF SENATOR OR REPRESENTA-.
TIVE is FRIGHT" HE CAN BE AS.
SURED OF PASSAGE OF HIS
VARIOUS BILLS.

That there is the semblance of a leg.
islative ring at Indianapolis is the
opinion of some of Wayne county
representatives expressed to local citi-
zens. 1t has been claimed for the past
week that there is an agreement
among certain senators as to what
legislation shall be enacted and what
shall not. These men WELD a large
influence and it is alleged to be their
intention to stifle all or any legisla-
ton that they may feel unfriendly to-
ward
Sure Of Existence.
One of the representatives from this
been seen of the Vaccinations of this
clique. There was not much chance
to see any Of it during the early weeks
of the legislature as the larger prob
lens involving some kind of settle
ment had not been presented. Another
legislator from this city, who is in
another branch of the legislature is
quoted as saying he, too. believes there
is combination existing in the up
per house. This combine is said to be
operated by men who have sufficient
experience in the legislature to know
ust when to act. They can pick upon
the crucial moment and at the exact
time make known their likes or dis
likes upon the subject.
Have a Good System.
The assertion is made that the
membere&f the ring work in conjunc-
tion with other members of both
houses upon whom they can impress
the need of doing their will. 1t is al
legged that if a member be very anx-
ious to put through some bill, before
the measure goes far he is liable to be
sounded out" upon some other matter.
II he stands right or can be prevailed
upon to fall into line. his bill is as
sured of passage, but il he choose to
assert his dependence, he is liable to
find a long and rocky road way ahead
of him.

Bang! Bang. Bang! Mrs. John
Hodgin was alarmed when she heard
the rapid discharge of shotguns on her
farm yesterday afternoon. There was
cause for her alarm. Upon investiga-
ton she learned that a gang OF five
young colored men were making tar
gets Of her chickens and that eight
had fallen victims. Mrs. Hodgin Lad
no way to overtake the men and be-
sides she would have stood no chance
in an encounter. She telephoned her
Chester pike. He made haste and after
a considerable chase overlook the
bunch and captured Luther Grigsby.
Grissby Tells Story.
Grigsby was brought to the city by
Hodgin. He came clean" with the
story and divulged the names of the
other chicken hunters. The police
we're notified and 1t was not long until
Patrolman Bundy rounded up Arthur
Sanders and Clifford Riley in the north
end and loaded them in the patrol
wagon. There was one shot gun in the
trio and the police were told where
two other guns had been concealed.
These were obtained and the three
weapons are now at headquarters
Last night the force worked on the
clue for the two fugitives. The small
towns and cities in the section were
notified and this morning word was
received from the marshal of Morn
ing Sun, O., and he said a negro named
William Ryle was in his custody.
Ryle is one of the fugitives and Ser.
geant McManus went after him today.
Ryle has been In trouble before. He
was oneof the members Of the gang
which was charged with stealing the
pond on the Reid Memorial Hospital
grounds.

The police have a clue as to the
whereabouts Of the only missing men,

him this afternoon. The young men
probably will be arraigned in the cir

They are accused of a serious offense.

School Authorities Claim That
A Legislative Clique Acting
For Book Trust Is Pushing
Action.
PROPOSED MEASURE is
REGARDED AS UNFAIR
It Is Thought That 1t Would
Be an Injustice Not Only to
The Pupils, But Also to the
Patrons.

The proposed revision Of the stat
utes regarding the purchase of text
books in use in the public schools is
not favored by Supt. Mott of the local
schools. 1t is not favored by the ma
jority Of the other school superintend-
ents and educators of the state,- but
there is clique In the legislature that
the school authorities claim is acting
in behalf of a certain book concern
and it stands in a fair way to win out
Supt. Mott has received word that un-
less the state instructors unite all
their energies and bring them to bear
on the legislature 1t is probable the
bill will be successful.
Measure 10 Unfair.
Supt. Mott says he is against the
measure to repeal the present law gov
erning the selection of text books. be-
cause the proposed measure is unfair
and would be an injustice to the school
pupils and patrons. 1t would require
greater expense to equip a pupil for
school than it does now, because If a
certain company were given the right
" supply buC U|OnS CANAuSANSAy ~
could place its own price on them and
there be nothing to do but pay it.
The Present Method.
The present method of selecting
text books is by competition. All COM
panies desiring the use of their books
submit them to the state board of edu-
cation. The books believed to be the
best and cheapest are chosen. This
plan has made it possible for the In
diana schools to secure excellent books
at low prices. The board examines the
books and il the requirements are
met equally well by a cheaper book it
is selected in preference to one more
expensive. The standard is made high
and if one company can reach it at less
expense to the purchaser than another
the board believes the book Of the first
ought to be chosen, as they will be to
the advantage Of the patrons.
If the bill now before the legislature
goes through it will mean that only
books issued by certain publishers can
be used This will place them in the
position Of being able to dictate prices.
The publishers claim that it ought to
make no difference to the board If a
better book be provided even il the
price. The board believes differently
as under the present system the board
acts as judge.
