Will Tell Republicans Arrangement Would Mean End of Party Factions. A correspondent writing from Washington, it has developed that an effort will be made at the coming session of the legislature to redistrict Indiana for congressional purposes.

A congressional reapportionment is earnestly sought by a number of the Democrati congressmen-elect, -who were swept into power by the Democratic landslide this year. They fear that unless the legislature gives them reinforcements by changing the- boundaries of their districts and including Democratic territory they -will be -wipe! off of the political board in 1910. Several of the Democratic members elect are in. Washington and at n-formal conferences iwith the Democratic congressmen from Indiana the question of a congressional apportionment has been discussed in all its phases. There is no legal barrier to a congressional reapportionment by the coming legislature, but the chief obstacle in the way is the Republican majority in the state senate.

As a means of overcoming possible Republican opposition in the senate the argument will be used that by hehVng to change the boundaries of the congressional districts the Republicans, especially in rorthern Indiana districts, like the eighth and eleventh, can iron out their local dissension? and differences as they could not hope to do otherwise.

After being a resident of this city continually for sixty-seven years, she vissed away at the home of her niece Mrs. Harriet Bennett, at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday In the tf Aunty Bennett Plymouth loses a wonderful character Possessed of a memory the like of which had never been known here, the old lady retained her full faculties until only a few minutes before for death. Suffering from a fall -whih she received eighteen years ago she has been unable to walk since that time. Otherwise however, her health seemed perfect all of these years, and her end was altogether unexpected. Her faculties were perfectly clear until her death, and she was ahle to recognize and talk to iher friends.

Miss Sarah Anderson (her maiden name) was horn in Highland county, Ohio, on Oct. 9, 1817 of Benjamin and Rhody Anderson. On August 10. she was married to Dr. Joseph W.

Bennett. They lived in Ohio for four years, and in 1841 moved to Plymouth, where they resided until his death. They resided in the house now occupied -by J. A Yockey on Michigan street, and Mrs. Bennett continued living tnere after-thc death of her husband, for over fifty years Dr.

MAYORS SEEK NEW LAW. Executives of Twenty, Cities of State Agree on Abolition of Metropolitan Police Statute. The mayors of the cities and towns of Indiana see good in the abolition of the metropolitan police law a.id the amendment -of the cities and tdwns law. At a meeting held at Indianapolis attended by the mayors of twen'v cities oi the state, steps were taken to accomplish both these ends. A committee was appointed to draft a bill, to le introduced at the coming session of the Legislature repealing "the metropolitan police law in-d amending the cities and towns act.

The following committee of may ors was appointed: Lawrence Becker, Hammond; Edward J. Fogartv South Bend; D. C. Anderson, Hunt ington; George P. McKee, Logans- W.

H. Arnett, Kokomo; L. Darrow, LaPorte; George E. Greene, Vincennes; W. B.

Reed, Attica; S. E. Voris, Crawfordsville, and W. A Bridges, Franklin. The sentiment of -the mayors was that the cities and towns act, in its present form, worked a hardship on the sma'ler cities of the state of the third and fourth classes in that it imposed unnecessary expenses on the taxpayers.

The law requires these cities to maintain a police judge, con troller, city; treasurer and police com missioners. Want Offices Abolished. The mayors are of the opinion that the City Councils should have the privilege of abolishing the office of controller when deemed desirable, combinmg his duties with those of the city clerk; that the mayor should have the power to act as police judge and that the county treasurer should .1 1 it. i do me worK oi ine city treasurer, ii was also suggested that the Board ot Public Works take the place of the Board of Police Commissioners. The ibill to be drafted by the mayors will also repeal that section of the cities and towns act which forbids c'ty officers' to succeed themselves in office.

One of the mayors present characterized this feature as wi4Americanl and unreasonable. Mayor Boehne of Evansville stood alone against the general feeling that executives should be ineligible to reelection. In all other respects the present cities and towns act was praised by the mayors. (Many exprcsed their opinion that it would be a grave blunder to repeal the entire law, since it had been a means for much-good to the cities as well as the maller towns of the state. With the amendments suggested the belidf was general that the- law would be perfect in very detail.

Increase in Typhoid! An approximate increase of 10 per cent, in the number of typhoid fever cases for November over those of the corresponding of last year is estimated by Dr. J. N. Hufty, secretary of the State Board of Health, from the repVrts thus far received 'from the secretaries of the county boards of heattx Dr. Hurry traces the cause of the increase to the drought of the late summer season, which affected almost all the sources water supply in the state.

Aside from the prevalence of typhoid, ocntagion over the state is remarkably low. JUDGE CITED FOR CONTEMPT S. Dodge of Elkhart Notified to Appear Before Appellate Court in Receiver Case.

Alleged to Have Illegally Collected Money From Residents of Kosciusko County.

Charged with illegally collecting money from many Kosciusko and Wabash county residents, Deputy Game Warden A. iM. Gillion, Of Lo-gansport, has been placed under arrest by Sheriff George Freeman, of Wabas'h; county, and his bond has 'been fixed $2,000. The defendant is charged witli blackmail, robbery, larceny ankl also obtaining money under false pretenses. He strenuous ly denied his guilt and demanded a trial.

Gillion. it is alleged, is one of a ntftiilbcr of men who were -with 'Justice of the Peace Charles Mantin, of Wabash, in his trvp to the lake? where "Martin held court, arresting. fining and collecting money from Kn'sciuko and Wabash county men. It is charged that he not only disregarded 'townsTirp lines in holding court, but did not even hold close to the county line. Gallion stands accused of bing one of the two really responsible persons, but he is trying to throw all of the blame on Squire Martin, who, it is charged, not only held the trials and collected money, but neglected to turn it over to the state.

Gallion says that he received nothing for his services, although he did borrow a little money from Martin, who is now a fugitive. IMartin appears to have male a pretty clean sweep for at times his fines and costs amolnted to as much as $100 from a single nvan. Gallion is still a deputy warden and must stand trial for these irregularities. He will plead ignor-inee of the limits of the jurisdiction of Justice Martin, but wheiher ignorance will excuse him is a question tc be decided in court and one that is Se'ng looked forward to by many per sons living in Wabash and, Koscius ko counties. Others may be impli cated.

BRYAN NEEDED 1,208,998 VOTES However, He Received 1,372,719 More Than Were Cast for Parker in 1904. Bryan's popular vote was 1,208,99 less than Taft's, according to figures compiled by the New York Times. It gives the total vote for Taft in the recent election as compared with 7,623,486 for Roosevelt, in 1904. The Democratic vote is given as 450,690, as against 5 077,971 four years ago.

That Indiana dairymen will, before long, supply almost all the dairy products used in Chicago, is a repor; made by State Food Inspectors Bert W.

Oohn and F. W. Tucker, who h'ave returned (from the dairy exhibit in Chicago. In conference with H. E.

Barnard, state iood and drug commissioner, on their return, they quoted Dr. H. W.

Chicago has an ordinance providing tha no dairy product shJall be received in that city except from dairy farms inspected and approved by commissioned inspectors.

DEFICIT MAY REACH $143,046,796 RECEIPTS NOT KEEPING PACE WITH INCREASE IN DISBURSEMENTS. Secretary of Treasury Reports New Sources of Revenue Necessary When Tariff is Revised. The annual report of Mr. Corte'-you, the Secretary of the Treasurv, shows a reversal of conditions for the fiscal year 1908, as compared with the fiscal year for 1907.

For the latter year the receipts were $84,236,586 in excess of the disbursements. For the fiscal year 1J08 the disbursements were in excess of the e-ceipts, due to business depression and increased appropriations. Fortunately the report says, the available cash balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $272,061,443. The Treasury was called on in the fatter part of October, 1907, to render assistance in a financial panic whicin started iin New York city and w'hich gradually extended over the entire country. Through Treasury op- erations during this financial disturb ance the amount of public deposits with the banks reached $236,548,321 on November 30, 1S07, and on December 27, "1907, the maximum of $2.9,994,271 was attaJned, after which it was decreased to $256,920,154 by the cflose of the month.

Furrher with drawals decreased this amount tc $118,379,536 on November 16, 190S. Reduction of Interest-Bearing Debt The amount of interest-bearing debt on June 30, 1907, is shown to hare been $934,902,760 and on June 30, 1908, The report shows that from the date of the passage of the national bank act in 1863 to July 1, 190S, char tcrs were granted to 9,174 national banking associations, and at the close of 'She last fiscal year there were in operation with authorized capital stock of $930,542,774. Banks to the number of 1.S78 have been closed (by the voluntary action of their stockholders, and 469 insolv enlt associations have been placed in charge of receivers. There were purchased for the coin age of subsidiary silver during the fiscal year 16,956,309 ounces of silver bullion' at a cost of $9,923,026. The receipts from internal revenue taxes for the fiscal year 1908 were $251,711,126, a net decrease fronv 1907 of $17,955,646.

The customs receipts for the same period amounlted to $286,113,130, a decrease for tihe year of about $46,000,000. BasEng his figures on the estimate? of appropriations already submitted by the several executive departments the Secretary is of the opinion that the excess of expenditures over re ceipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, may reach $143,04.6,796. The Secretary estimates the deficit for the present fiscal year as $114,000,000. THE LEMON BOX Miss Irene Kuhn called on close friends at Argos (this state) Saturday. A certain young man about sixteen years of aget who attends the local High School, displa his gallant spirit Saturday by offering to accompany the -fair violinist who participated in the concert at the Orphe-um theatre, to her boarding Suouse.

The young lady Jiowever, thought it would "hardly be proper." On the bills announcing the Basket Ball game between Plymouth and Laporte High School teams ah ich will be held at the opera house in this city Friday evening the pirblic is invoked "To come and see the Fierce Contest. Now why a "Fierce" contest? Later The boys have stricken out the above line, from some of the bills. Surely they do not mean that the boys look "Fierce" in their basket ball su'ts. Don't you wish you were a soldier? Think of the grandeur, the pretty uniform, and o. Till the pretty girls that you coulld xlazzle by your manly car riage etc.

The first indication that the Culver cadets iwere in Plymouth Sunday evening was given by the' regular force of the city's young kidies. You can look to these girls to spot the gray coats as soon as they have crossed the city limits. How this acute perception is achieved is not generally knmvn, nevertheless is there. No sooner had the soldierv made their appearance on the streets Sunday evening, than one lone girl, the sentinel of the Iband, began her search, for her comrades. This young lady en'tered the Fuller Candy store and inquired of a clerk "have you seen the girls?" "No" the clerk had not seen the girls.

"Oh, wish I coidd find sighed the fair one, "for the Culver boys are in town and I am so afraid that I won't be able to find the girls." And so the telephone was brought into play, and low as if by iingic, in ten sliort minutes all of "the girls" to the number of five, were parading LaPorte street in the quest Of cadets. 'Were they success ful? Are they always successful? Why of course they are, for they have been there many times before. corresponding number of cadets were caught, and a most delightful cionversatioii concerning Greek and classical studies was engaged in until tine heartle'ss bugle separated the soldier boys from the unknown but admiring Plymouth young ladies.
