Tha Adjutant General does not have much to say on the question of re organizing and equipping the Indiana National Guard, but has left the for the Governor to dwell on in his message to the General Assembly. The Adjutant General, however, thinks the Legislature will have to make an appropriation or at least 8100.000 for this purpose He says that the civil war reoordc in his office are about worn out. arid that i money should be appropriated to copyi them. He also says that somewhere in tha basement of the State House there are supposed to be; records of the Minute men and others In.

The committee was unanimous in favoring a board of four members, not more than two being from one political party, appointed for terms "of one, two, three and four year. 1 The committee, waa also unanimous In favoring the appointment of the board by the mayor, the same aa other boards of the city. It waa doubted by some members of the committee whether the mayor should have the power to remove the members at will, and preference for removal, by Impeachment waa suggested as a modification. Mrs. Wiley.

Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Mc Clung, as a committee from the Ladles' Tree Memorial Association were sresant and urged the committee to recommend the appointment of woman as a mem ber of the proposed board: The women wished the law to provide for representation of the sex in the park worli. The subject waa left oen. Mayor Taggart was asked this morning If he favored the representation of women on the board.

He ald: "I have no personal Objection to the representation of women on the park board. I really do believe the Influence of women" would contribute much In park making that la help ful. I do not suppose that. any one would expect such a woman to prepared for business proposals, such as the building of roads anddams and the like, but in other features of the work she. could be very helpful." "Whether this representation should be In the board or by an unofficial auxiliary board.

I am not now prepared to say. Perhaps an auxiliary board would accomplish more than membership on the Park Board." George W. Bone was sworn in as bailiff of Superior ourt. room 2, this morning, and took office at once. Board of Works Aetloa on Parks.

Persons Interested la school affairs predicted a report In the School Board to nlffht from the committee on furniture and supplies In favor of the purchase of sterilizing burners and pencil cases ior use in the schools. It wak predicted that the committee would recommend contract' with the Specialty Manufacturing Company, of this city, for a sufficient number of machines and cases, at a coet of about 81.8u0v These machines include a burner to make formaldehyde gas. Tne pencils are daily put Into a receptacle, and the gas disinfects them.

Albert Baker, chairman of the committee, said to day that the committee would not make a report to night because It wanted to hear more evidence as to the efficiency and need of the machines. Those who anticipate a purchase eooner or later say that in part it Is by way of a political reward. They recall that Thomas Be mis, president or trie specialty Manufacturing Company, was defeated for the nomination for county commissioner 'n the Democratic convention. In the campaign he organised a "bolters' club known as the Independent Free Silver Democratic Club, which played havoc with the South Side Democracy, For this service.

He was trying to assist the company, hi raid, because he was warm friend of. J. B. Dill, secretary of it. That was the only Interest he had.

So I. ote three friends asking them to mail ms a penny and write to their three friends, repeating the request "I have taught school for fourteen i on secutlve terms, and between times 1 ave worked at such occupations as my wll ing hands have found to do, but there wen so many demands upon my meager sa ary that there was. no possibility of eno lgh surplus to be saved to pay for the cos of my college education.

The stillness, as of the grave, which stamps all present is broken from "time to time by the rattling of the handcuffs and the lee fetters, and by a furtive cough or the rustling of the papers upon the table of the prison governor.
