LAW IS EXPLAINED
TO TOWN OFFICIALS
Always One Holdover Attor'
ney General, Honan Says
in Explaining Act.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 17.-Thomas
NJ. Honan. Encouragement. has writ
ten a number Of letters in the last two
weeks to explain to boards of trus-
tees in incorporated towns the pur-
pose of the act of the recent general
assembly which curtails the tenure OF
office of approximately one-half the
town trustees of the state. Under an
act of 1909. town trustees elected that
year were to hold office for four years
from January, 1910. The act of 1911
thereafter be elected so as to have at
least one holdover member on the
board all the time, aud to do SO. cut in
half the terms of about half the num-
Der in the state.
The approach of November. the le-
gal month for holding town elections.
has found the greater number Of the
towns unprepared for an election. Tn
der the 1909 act. had it not been
amended. no election would be held
this year.
The new act provides that in towns
where there is an even number of
trustees the half who received the
highest number of votes in the cleo
ton of 1909 shall continue until jan
uary, 1914. Successors must be elect
ed for those who received the lowest
number of votes. Where there is an
odd number of trustees, the majority
who received the largest vote in 1909
shall hold over. and successors shall
be elected for those receiving the low
est vote. The attorney-general holds
that where a trustee has been ap-
pointed to fill out an unexpired term.
his successor shall be elected, wheth-
err the man he succeeded did or did not
receive among the highest number of
votes two years ago. Further, the
election of a successor to such an ap-
pointee shall not figure in the determ-
ination of the number to be elected on
the basis of the majority vote.
The new corrupt practices act
passed by the last general assembly
will have it's first workout in the ap-
preaching elections. From Bartholo-
new county comes a report that the
provisions of the act are preventing
persons in a number of towns in that
county from announcing candidates.
for trusteeships. Many of them have
declared the act makes politics too
risky for them. A dispatch from Co
lumbus, the county seat, says the in
corporated towns in the county are
meeting with difficulty in obtaining
enough candidates to place on the tick
cts for the election.

ARMS OF THE MEDICI.

The Giided Globes That Mark the
Pawnbroker's Shop.
Few persons seeing the signs of tie
in most thoroughfares in London pause
to consider their origin. OF course 1t is
the bulls of gold to which we refer.
Not only may they be taken as in
dications OF wealth. but as a sign
that pledges are received. But the
balls do not indicate what they really
are. They are the arms Of the Medici
family. Whoever has visited Florence
will recall the three balls alternated
with the red lilies. But how comes it
that the decorations Of the Tuscan pal
ace have found their way to London
and elsewhere?
The explanation Is not difficult If we
give the subject moments thought
The nrst gold changers to settle in
London. as in Paris. were the Floren-
tines or Lombards. They chose LON
bard street as the place where they
would carry on their business. These

the bankers. In the early days the in
habitarts counted among their number
some o. the Medici family. and to in
spire confidence they exhibited their
family arms. to which they had per

KIN BURNED BARN
Brother Accepts Verdict of

FRANKLIN, Pa, Oct. l7-Lowry
Hoffman, a prosperous farmer Of Ir-
win township. was charged with burn.
ing the barn Of his brother Lewis a
week ago. The structure was com
pletely destroyed. together with its
contents. including horse worth $3.50
four cows and all the seasons crops,
the loss being $4,000. with only $1,000
insurance
1t is the theory of the prosecution
that Lowry burned the barn in re-
venge for the action of Carlisle Hoff-
man. son of Lewis. in testifying
against Lowry in a criminal suit Sat.
urday afternoon.
The principal evidence against Low.
ry is that two hloodhounds twice fol-
lowed a scent from the door OF the
barn to Lowry's home. a mile distant.
On the second trip Lowry came out of
the house. and the dogs are alleged
to have smelled him and stood stock
still. Lowry sent word to the sheriff
today that he would come into town

One Of the finest things within reach
