Uuntlnflton herald; FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1905. Mr. Rockefeller has the brakes well et philanthrophy. He denies that he has agreed to give ten mil lion dollars to establish a home for retired clergymen. "Of course a number of Wisconsin legislators who voted for the anti tip bill will be able to convince Jheni' Belves that a railroad pass Is not a bribe," remarked Editor Bryan In his Commoner.

The colonel has possibly forgotten the days when he enjoyed congressional An Interesting item on the claim sheet to be considered by the city council, at its meeting tonight, is $1050, filed by J. B. Workman, the tax ferret, for sequestered taxes recover ed for the city. Mr. Workman, It will be remembered, also gets a similar amount from the county for the same identical recovery.

Southern States that adhere to the "grandfather" clause as a requisite to the right to rule will find very little answer to their appeal to the people to locate within their borders. Mak ing a law which declares disfranchised every citizen of a State whose grand father was not a qualified voter, may work beautifully in driving the black men from the polls, but white men are not going to have their citizenship defined by such a policy. THE SETTLEMENT SHEET Was Changed By Later Advice From the State Auditor. Because State Audtlor D. E.

Sher i rick changed his instructions to Auditor Morris relative to the settlement aheet of the county, the latter official is put to a great deal of additional work and the settlement sheet has been delayed in completion. About two weeks ago Mr. Morris wrote Mr. Sherrick for instructions as to how he should proceed with the sheet when sequestered taxes had been listed by J. B.

Workman. The Auditor replied that the commission of the ferret should be taken out of the total before the sum was distributed on the sheet. This course was followed and the sheet practically completed when it was discovered that by this method the treasurer would be charged with but 65 per cent, of the sequestered taxes, when he would receive it all. As it is customary to charge the treasurer with the full amount, the books would not balance by this metnod, and Auditor Morris again wrote the State Auditor. This time he received instructions to put the whole amount on the settlement sheet, and afterwards deduct the commission.

By this method 'the books would be made to balance and the treasurer would be charged with all the money he received. J. B. Workman had placed $399.99 on the duplicate, which was included in the last settlement sheet, and as this amount less the commission had been included in au the totals, it was necessary to change the whole sheet to correspend with the latest instructions. MADE BIG DEAL Collins Chicago House Sells the Tub Department of Their Business, E.

A. Collins is in receipt of a telegram from his son J. D. Collins, in Chicago, informing him that the Collins Ice Cream In that city, had Just disposed of the tub factory in connection with the, ice cream business, to the Richmond Cider Works of Richmond, Va. The consideration was $52,000.

Heretofore tne Collins Ice Cream in Chicago, have made their own tubs and have been making some for. outside parties, but the gigantic proportions to which the business has grown in connection with the ice cream business made it difficult to handle, expecially since the numerous strikes and labor difficulties and therefore they sold out The tub factory will be moved to Richmond and the room which it occupied will be used by the ice cream company. 1 A CREEPING DEATH.

Madame Gusty Does Not Wish. to Pro vide Funds to Recover Adopt ed Daughter. Deprlved 'df'the services of her adopted child, Miss Isabella Desker Gusky, Madame Wuster Gusky, of, Warren street, is unable to maintain the boarding house which she has heretofore run, and has concluded to provide for roomers only, in the fu ture.

To this end she has disposed of part of her furniture, which was used In the. dining room, and thereby raised a little money. This money was not sufficient to start a search for the girl who evidently was quite a help to the foster parent, and even though the police have a clue as to her whereabouts, it is not likely that an effort will be made to find her. Earl Gurling and Isabella Gusky left Huntington on the Danville excursion Sunday. This fact has been established by the police, but that is about all the information which is available.

According to this clue, it is the theory of the police that the eloping couple are now in that city, where they are doubtless making arrangements to earn a living. At any rate, their elopement has proven successful, and unless traveling expenses are raised for an officer, they are mot in any danger of being disturbed. This Madame Gusky will not do, as she seems to love her possessions even more than the In fact, it is thought by some that her grief is greater at the loss of a valuable assistant than at the breaking up of her family circle. The police informed her of the direction her adopted daughter had taken, and asked her to raise the money necessary to follow her, If she wanted the daughter returned. She replied that she had secured $15 from the Bale of part of her furniture, but concluded after some parley that she had better keep that money to pay her rent and other expenses, and let" Isabella shift for herself.

This will probably be the outcome of the elopement. The police are not worried much about the daughter's escapade. They look upon her as able to care for herself, and as she thought she was bettering her condition by running away, they are willing to accept that view of the situation, and let the couple depart. ASSESSMENTS ARE REPORTED FOR THE CITY. The report of Deputy Assessor Stahl, of the property In the city of Huntington has been filed with Auditor, Morris.

It shows a loss of approximately $30,000 in personal property. Over $70,000 additional Improvements is listed, however, and the Iobs is consequently not so great. The loss Is easily accounted for by tnose who are acquainted with the circumstances. There has been one factory removed from the city, two parties have put a great deal of money into county bonds There have been three business failures, and several other deals which have resulted in a loss of taxables to this county. The large amount of building has resulted in the placing of much money, heretofore listed as personal property, in the column of improvements.

On the. whole, there has been no great variation in the city lists, and the county lists showed such gains as to offset the loss in the city by a margin that can be referred to as Bhowing the growth of the county. It should be remembered that over $100, 000 has been put into Improvements the last year, which are assessed at about $70,000, making some difference which could not be avoided. CRULL GOES TO LOUISVILLE. Harley Crull leaves Friday for Louisville, Ky, where he has accepted a position as construction foreman of the new L.

For sale by Bradley Bros. may AN ALLEGED FRAUD In the Bids For Supplies to Wells County. Bloffton Telegram to Fort Wayne Journal Instead of adjourning Tuesday ev ening, according to schedule, the Wells county grand Jury, on the order of Judge Vaughn, again went into session and began an Important in The investigation con ceras an alleged scheme to swindle the county out of hundreds1 of dollars on the stationary contract The law requires that the stationery for the counties shall be bought from the firm making the lowest reasonable bid, and the contracts are usually let in December. In the last ten years W.

B. Burford, of Indianapolis, has secured most of the contracts in Wells county through his agent, E. Yountz. 4V" Last December the contract from this county was awarded to the W. B.

Burford company. A week later E. Yountz, Mr. Burford's agent who was here at the time of the contract letting, asked to see his original bid, saying that he wanted to make a copy of it, as be had not preserved one, and it was necessary for the house to have a list to know how to make out its bills. As there was considerable business in the auditor's office at the time, Yountz took the docket into another office.

About two months later the county received its first bill from the Burford company, and Auditor Brinneman no ticed that something was wrong with the price charged. He looked at Ypuntz's bid, and found that the bill received coincided with the contract price, but he also made the discovery that the figures on the bid had been raised. Many items had been changed, and the recent ink marks were so much different from the old ins: marks that the change was unmistakable. The figures had not been erased and new ones substituted, but the simple stroke of the pen had been used to make the raise. For instance, an item quoted at 10 cents a gross was raised to 40 cents by changing the figure 1 to a 4, or a 1 was raised to a 7 or a 9.

The price was even raised to over a dollar by prefixing another figure. Mr. Brinneman informed the Bur ford company of his discovery, and the company asked him to come to Indianapolis, and the matter would be adjusted. Brinneman refused to go there, and told Mr. Burford if he wanted to see him to come here.

A short time later Mr. Yountz came here and attended a meeting of the board of commissioners, and he ad mitted that the figures on his bid had been but he said he was not responsible for it, and that he would offer a 'reward for the discovery of the man who made the change. He Intimated that enemies of his, and of the house, probably rival bidders, had taken this means to injure him, in this county, and in others, vbut he did not name any person whom he had under suspicion.
