THE PROBE.

The probe which Governor Harmon
started some time ago seems to be
progressing satisfactorily to the great
majority of people in the state, al
though there are a number of PRO
minent citizens who are spending
sleepless nights, perhaps. At least
the committee seems to be striking
pay dirt in the very first depart
ment taken up, with the result that
q number of ex-office- holders are, in
the language of the boys, "on the
rum"
One of the first discoveries made
was that the former superintendent
of state printing had been paying
about twice as much for gold-leaf,
used In the bindery, as IL could have
been bought for. That is, it was
charged to the state at a figure
twice as high as it was worth.
Further, the bills show that it was
bought from a firm that does not
and did not exist, indicating that
there was cookedness somewhere
along the route of its travelling from
the makers to the state
While 1t is true that the state may
not have been bankrupt by the pur-
chase of the gold leaf, since only
some thirty or forty thousand dol
lars worth of IL was used the un-
covering of the fraud in the pur-
chase is significant and will be worth
a great deal more 70 the state than
the money involved.
II is too early TO say that the
state house under former adminis-
fractions was honey combed with
thievery. but the indications so far
point to the revelation the state was
for years Systematically robbed. If
a number Of ex-ofiicials are not sent
to the penitentiary it will surprise
many people much more than II
they are. The irregularities" are
getting nearer and nearer to down
right stealing every day, and there
are those who are acquainted with
Inside" facts who believe that before
the committee has finished its work
such a condition will be shown to
have existed in the state house as
70 leave no doubt but Governor Har-
mon was correct in his surmises that
all was not going along smoothly
and honestly in the conduct Of the
states affairs,-Springfield (O) News.

WOMEN KNOW WHAT MARY
MEANT

Love wins against large odds with
most women. 1t is really her para
maunt consideration. once in posses.
sion of IL she will give everything
to hold It.
However much q women's love may
be imposed upon, trampled and crush
ed to earth, 1t will spring up and
bloom again under even an en-
couraging smile, like the withering
violet in dry round raises its head
to refreshing shower.
A familiar story concerns the wo-
man with blackened eyes who APP
pears frequently in Police. court to
prosecute a brutal husband, and then
at sight of the wretch at the bar,
prostrates herself before the pudge
begging clemency for the object of
her suffering love. Most men wonder
at this story, and some laugh at it.
That is because few men ever really
understand the nature of woman.
In Chicago, Mrs. Mary Duffy APP
peared before Municipal Judge
Grove, pleading for the release of her
husband, arrested on complaint of
beating Mary. Mary told the court
husband; she wouldn't testify against
him. Judge Grove reminded Mary of
the crimc charged, Thereupon Mary
said: "Of course he did beat me, but
that's all. If Peter didn't beat me
once In while / would think he
didn't love me any more, and may
be was running arouond with some
other woman"
Judge Grove discharged Duffy. ana
remarked that he had often heard II
said that women best love the hand
that beats them but he hadn't be-
fore heard u woman admit 1t.
OF course this was not the case
Mary loves Peter, and TO hold him
she is willing to take his bcatings
along with his carcsscs. It's all right
for Judge Grove to believe that Mary
stated the truth-he rs merely man
but every woman knows what Mary
meant. Columbus Citizen.

Wanted His Money Back.

It Is an old saying that you cannos
eat your cake and have 1t too" But
u seasick person usually cares little for
either side of the proposition. The
captain OF one of the steamships ply
ing between this country aud Italy,
which arrived at New York with over
600 immigrants, tells a rather ANUS
ing story OF a heated interview held
between himself and one OF them on
the voyage across.
The vessel had been out few days
and had encountered some heavy seas.
The first morning that ealip4r weather
prevailed one of the steerage passen-
gers appeared for the first time above
