MONTGOMERY WARD fc CO., Mlchlffaa At, A Madlnoa fU, Chicago. Sight WORKING OF l'AROLK LAW, Statistic!! 8Iiov it fircal Sucres in Indiana. The results of the operation of the parole law Will be discussed by the board of state charities in its report. On this subject tbe report will eay: "The results of the reformatory meas ures enacted in 1897 and the experience under the parole law have been very satisfactory. TLe objection to these new laws and modern methods, which was quite noticeable at first, has stead ily decreaeed, until now it is seldom heard. The total nurnbar of men pa roled from April 1, 1897, to October 31, 1899, was 402. The total number of cases that have proven unsatisfactory is 8ixty,or 14; per cent of the number paroled. This is certainly a gratifying statement. The following figures show ing the earnings of these men who have been out on parole, present another as pect of the case which is equally im pressive. They have received a total of wages earned in the period bove men tioned of 848,168.80. These men, if they remained in the institution, would have cost the state 27,241.83. "At the ßtate prison, the total num ber of men paro ed from April 1, 1899, to Oct. 31, 1899, was 141. Two men who have been granted parole remain in the prison awaiting employment. Ninety one men are still reporting. The total number of cases that proved unsatis factory is eleven, or 7 4-5 per cent of the nnmber paroled. Th9 total amount of wajres earned by these men is 13, 774,80." AN UNFOUNDED KEI'OKT. Mrs. C. II. Keeve Not Prostrated by Nicotine Pol Hon. The Indianapolis papers Tuesday contained the following item, relative to the recent sickness of Mrs. C. II. Reeve: "Ms. C. H. Reeve is not a victim of nicotine poisoning, as the dis patches indicated some days ago. Nearly twelve months ago tbe vener able woman suffered a partial stroke of cerebral paralysis, which took tbe form of motor aephasia, and while she has been in full possession of her senses, she has not been able to articulate her wants, except at brief intervals. Un til recently she has given attention to household cares. Two weeks ago, while enfeebled -y tho uuusua'Iy in clement weather, she leaned forward to place a handkerchief on another chair and lost her balance. In the fall she was severely shocked, lying unconscious for nine hours. Nicotine played no part in connection with her fall or un consciousness, and her friends have been distressed that bo unfortunate a report was circulated." Several Kvent Ainone the Little Koike. Forty of the boy and girl friecds of Avis Daubenspeck were entertained at her home Monday eveniog. That day was her eleventh birthday ani she fitly celebrated the occasion by gathering to gether her many little friends and pass iug an evening in the most joyous man cer possible. Games of all sorts were played after wbicb delicious refresh ments were served. Avis was made happy by several handsome gifts which her friends presented her. Mrs. Daubenspeck was assisted in her efforts to entertain the lit tie company by Misses Edna and Emma Yockeyand Alice Place. Tbe entertained were: Julia Yockey, Grace Fanning, Francis Thayer.

One feature of the meeting will be an art display, arranged by the art section of the association, the specimens coming from the schools in Indianapolis, Marion, Anderson, MuDcie, and other cities in Northern Indiana.

Mr. Taylor is eighty-eight years old, and hia wife is a few years bis junior. They were mar ried in Pennsylvania, and have lived in Fulton county more than forty years. Mr. Taylor has voted for sixteen presi dential candidates, and he wants to vote again for William Jennings Rryan. Clergymen Differ An to Method. Two of Kalamazoo's prominent min isters preached sermons on Sapho Sun day. Rev. W. R. McLaughlin gave his reasons for signing a petition asking he city council to suppress the play and uphfld that body in its action granting the petition. On the other hand, Rev. George 1). Adams told why he refused to sign the same petition, expressing the opinion that a mistake had been made both by the petitioners and by the council. He holds with others that more barm than good has been done by the agitation, by bringing the play too prominently before the public. It has resulted in a phenomenally large 6ale of the book, "Sapho," which is said to be even worse than the play. Prominent citizens, Mr. Adams says, have declared themselves of the opinion that immoral plays 6hould be suppressed, but he con tends that in this instance the petition ers had gone about it in the wrong way and had thus defeated the purpose which they sought to accomplish. Health Hoard bulletin. The monthly bulletin of the state board of health for February is ready to be sent out. It contains the usual tables of the mortality statistics of the month by counties.geographicaldistricts and by cities and towns. The bulletin, in speaking of smallpox, says the epi demic beea i to recede about the middle of the month. It says: "After the work of t-uppression began in earnest at Clay City and in the southern portion of Clav county, there was a marked de crease until by March 1 there were left only twenty-five cases in the three in fected townships, wherens at the begin ning of the month there were eighty cases in Clay City alone." All the re ports show conclusively that while the numbers of cases have decreased, the type of tbe disease has become more severe. .School Enumeration. The department of public instruction of the state has sent out blanks on which the school enumeration is to be made. Under the new school transfer law, all children must be enumerated in the school corporation where they legal ly reside. The report on the blanks must be made to tbe county superin tendent before May 1st, and tbe law re quires the enumeration to be made be tween April 10th and April 30th. Found Dead in Iii Itooiu. Albert Wiseman, aged fifty-five, a clerk in the Eagle restaurant at Roches ter, was found dead on the lloor of his room Monday. He was suffering from heart disease and was being treated by a physician. Two uotes were found which he had written, one to his physician stating the misery be was in and asking the physician to call at once. His brother dropped dead while at work in that city about six months ago. Milk Trust Collapsed. The dairymen of Elkhart, who some weeks ago entered the milk trust to place the price of milk at 6 cents per quart, have dropped out one by one un til only a few are now selling at G cents. Some entered into the agree ment under protest, claiming the sales would le lessened and the aggregate receipts would thus be no greater than at 5 cents per quart, and their idea has proven to be correct. Atros ItCIUH. Wm. Johnson and Bon Robert, who have been on tbe sick list, are conva lescing, Alleman & Bryan have sold their butcher shop to E. S. Turner and A. N. Leland. Meesrs. Turner and Leland are both excellent business men, and will doubtless make their new Tenture a success. Wm.

II. Laturner was struck by a piece from the butt of a falling tree, in flicting a bad wound near his right eye, and rendered unconscious for some time. He was brought to town imme diately and Dr. Gould was summoned to dres6 the wound. It is not so seri ous as was ai first supposed, but had he been struck a half Inch higher, it would doubtless have resulted latally. At present he is improving as rapidly as could be expected. J. C. Gordon was in Chicago last week visiting with his daughter Grace, who was in the city with the Alice Nielson Opera company, of which she is a member. Wm. Hobbs suffered a very painful accident Thursday, and one which will lay him up for some time. He was cutting wood just west of town, when bis axe caught in a limb above as he was striking and coming down at ran dom, struck his left foot.

Proposition to Expel Member Who sign Saloorj Application).

The church as a whole is opposed to the liquor traffic and does not want any of it mambers to be mixed up with it in any way." The Rev. P. II. Swift, pastor of the Englewood First Methodist church, of Chicago, said: "There is little doubt that an amend ment will be passed making it abso lutely illegal, from a church standpoint, for any Methodist to sign an applies tion for a liquor license or present any plea for the liquor traffic Lawyers must bring their religion into their busi ness to that extent."
