CULVER ACADEMY OPENS
Several improvements Made During
the Two Weeks Forced
Vacation.

The Culver Military Academy was
reopened Thursday after two weeks
vacation accustomed by the presence
in the school of several mild cases of
scarlet fever. The bedding and bar.
racks have twice been thorouhle
fumigated and it is thought no pos
sible contagion can now exist.
There will be no farther vacation
until June. This will give the boys
chance to be in better trim for the
visit of the inspector in the spring,
who usually came too soon after the
spring vacation to find them at their
best. One hundred and thirty-five
books have been added to the library.

condition of the Northwestern
Asylum for the insane, situated neal
Logansport. No more eases can be re-

some to sanity. In the Plymouth jail

"When it was time for harvesting
the flax, my brothers and father went
to the field to pull up the flax. They
had to shake off the dirt and tie the
flax in bundles, laying all the straw
straight and the same way. The
stalks were drawn through iron, teeth
to remove the seeds at the top.
Next the silky fibres are to be taken
out. This work was by no. means
easily done. The fibres are delicate
and the woody bark and stems must
be rotted off.
"We laid the fax out on the grass
and left it to rot by the dew fall
ing upon it. This process is called
retting or rotting. During this
treatment the fax was carefully
watched, for, if left out too long,
there is danger of rotting the fib-
ers. Next We had to break off the
wood. The straw is first dried,
then the outer bark, wood, and
hard parts of the plant become
brittle, the fibres remaining elastic
and tough. 1t is now pounded with
mallets or run through a machine
that breaks it to pieces all but the
fibres, and it is next passed on in.
to machines which scutch orscraps
the f1bres to get the wooden, barE
out. But we were not near mil
so we had to do the scutching b,

A Mere Campaign Issue.

|
On the other hand lot of people
call the governors suggestions social.
istic. Especially pointed is the attack
OF the idea of holding two sessions of
the legislature, of indefinite length.
Unpopular, also, is the scheme to in
crease the house of representative to
40 members, and it is pointed out
that the house could not be limited to
40, as planned by the governor. Then
again, the proposition to increase the
salary of the members of the legisla-
tture to SO day is not at all in line
with The governors constant cry for
economy. Probably this was put in
the constitution in order that the DEM
ocratic caucus might be led to vote for
the thing.
The whole game is plain to see. The
Democrats know they will have lot
to answer for in the next campaign.
SO they propose to manufacture a
campaign issue in the shape of a re-
written state constitution, and give the
people so much to talk about that
there will be a cessation of attack
slong the temperance line. False
hope! Foolish delusion.
The Governor Called on to Answer.
The Democrats have destroyed the
county option law, statute favored
by majority of 100000 of the people
OF the state. And the people are al
ready asking the Democratic COVER
nor why he permitted this to come to
pass.
The governor has just signed the
Infamous ripper" bill by which the
Democrats propose to throw out the
present state bank examiners and put
Democrats in their places, adding five
to the four examiners employed under
Republican management-all in the
name pf nonpartisanship and economy.
The Democrats are preparing to put
through law to give all the town
ship assessors and trustees two years.
extension of oSce. And this is moth
Ing more nor less than a measure to
keep the township officers from crit
icising the Democratic state board of
accounts and its partisan crookedness.
The Democrats have put in forty
four deputies under the oil inspector,
where the Republicans used but
twenty-nine. This is a part of the
Democratic scheme of economy. The
Democrats have appropriated half a.
million dollars more for the mainten-
ance of state institutions than was ap-
propriated by the last legislature,
which was denounced by the Demo
cratic governor as extravaganza.
The Brewers Pretty Plan.
Steve Fleming is putting through
his county commissioners salary grab
bill, and 1t is safe to say that the gov.
ernor will sign it, though it is nothing
more nor less than reward paid by
