Realizing what he had done, the murderer rushed, to the platform of the car and leaped -from the train, falling into the big washout a short distance this side I of Medora, where his dead body was found yesterday morning by Jack Gallion aad one cr two others.

No marks or bruises were found upon his body, and he evidently came to his death by drowning. Jack Gal- lion heard cries as if of distress about daylight, and finally obtained assistance and went to the point whence the voice proceeded. The result was the finding of the dead body in the water. Coroner Brown was notified, who went down on the first train and held an inquest. The deceased had been at El Paso, New Mexico, and was on his way home to West Salem, Ohio.

He had about $96 in money upon i his person, as well as a wateh and other articles of value, including two express receipts for gold coin i amounting to some $750, consigned by him in his name caught.

Fifty Tears Ago Fire Over The River. The dwelling on John Stout's farm, near the Hays school house, in Hamilton township, took fire from sparks escaping from the chimney on Thursday, and soon a large portion of the roof was in flames. It was during the overflow and the house was surrounded with water, a circumstance which enabled those present to extinguish the flames. The house was occupied by Lafayette Robertson.

H. Brock on a high since. 38.36 Has the township unit outgrown its usefulness? This question is being frequently discussed and in all probability will be an issue before the people of Indiana sooner or later. Notwithstanding that the township unit is being condemned as obsolete by so-called "students of government" this paper is not convinced that the time is" here when the people shall be deprived of this last vestige of local government. We believe that the taxpayers in the rural communities, who have witnessed the workings and abuses 'of "centralized power" and are opposed to any further extension of the same, should give the question of abolishing township units careful consideration before being carried away by arguments to that effect.

In the first place, who and what are back of the movement? Frankly, we do not know, except to say that so far as we have been able to observe, it does not originate with the local taxpayers to, any great extent. Let us stop to. consider for a moment what has happened during the last twenty or twenty-five years to deprive people of local self-government. Step by step power and authority to act that was once vested in township and county officials have been transferred to state officials, boards and commissions, who have fixed rules and regulations and have promulgated laws, whereby local officials have very little to 'say except carry out the orders and of the "higher-ups," and then these same local officers are blamed for many compulsory expenditures over which they have no control. "Take for instance a' single illustration of school matters.

While we all believe in certain high standards of education in the conduct of our public schools, yet look to what extremes they have been carried by state boards and officials who live anchaye their being up at Indianapolis, completely ouToftelswith local conditions, except through occasional reports of some school inspector, who must do something to ean his salary. A few years ago thousands and thousands of dollars were spent in the construction of new school build-, Ings in Indiana, in many instances of which the present buildings were in good condition or could have been made so by some repair or remodeling. In some of such case? taxpayers protested against enormous expenditures for new buildings and when they had about succeeded, the state board of health would be called into action-to condemn the old building, which generally had the effect of blocking the opposition. School commissions have been taken away or threatened from schools which otherwise had splendid school curriculum, simply because the order of some school inspector had not been obeyed, possibly for papering a room, painting a building, installing a furnace, rebuilding a fence around school premises, when local Officials and school patrons, in order to hold down expenses, felt that such improvements might be deferred another year. Columns might be written to show that local is not as a whole the failure that so-called "students of government," paid space writers, etc.

would have us believe, and good reasons cfn and no- dobut will be shown from'time to time against the present agitation for complete abolishments of township the next ftep of which would be the abolishment or consolidation of county units. It may be and possibly is true that with changed conditions there is need of some improvement and changes in the management of our local governments as now constituted which is equally as true with our jrtate government but such corrections can be easily made and conditions remedied by our law makers by removing some of the mandatory provisions upon bur statute-books, which tie the hands of local officers against more economical administration of local public affairs. So let us study this question of abolishment of township or county units very carefully before we surrender all of our local government and become mere poppets as it were in the hands of more state and district boards, commissions and officials that might be advocated by so-called "students of government," whatever that term may signify. We are now governed entirely too much by state and national officers, boards and commissions at Indianapolis And Washington in other words "centralized power, which is driving us away from the principle of "government of the people, for the people and by the people." from the overhead so that in case the I ri Fifty Tears Ag tatives, This, together with his close overhead circuit is damaged bv storm wm a "es SEYMOUR BANNER Fire in Seymour. withdraw.

This will be a great relief to many persons serving on Juries who hesitate to sentence a human being to death. Under the bove law the jury does Is to determine whether or not the party being tried is guilty of the act charged, and to that extent a Juryman Is not troubled by thought that he has condemned a man to death, for the statute takes care of that.
