county people will remember that a
one-legged tramp of German origin oc
cupied a cell nt the Jail for some time
during tho winter of 1S9S-99. He was
brought here by II. C. Amoy and
James Young, of Lemon township, his
arrest having been made upon tho
ground that ho answered to the de
scription of a man who was wanted
by Canadian authorities for the mur
der of the chief of police at Montreal.
A reward had been offered for tho
murderer's apprehension, and though
considerable correspondence wns held
with the authorities at Montreal, It
failed to satisfy them that he was the
man wanted, nnd so after a time he
was set loose nnd permitted to go his
own way. It Is now assorted that ho
was picked up In Ohio three or four
months later and carried to Montreal,
where he proved to he tho chap want
ed and wns subsequently hung for
his crime. Thus the reward offered
for his enpture passed to Ohio nnd not

From that time on everything ho
does und I'vcrythlnd lie has that copts
money becomes a matter of bookkeep
ing. He Is charged $2.07 per month
for policing the academy grounds;
$1.36 is deducted monthly from his al
lowance for the support of the hos
pital; tho gas that he uses In his room
has to be paid for Just as If he were a
householder in the city, and he Is even
charged 23 cents for the notarial fee
when he takes an oath of allegiance
to suppoit the constitution of the
United States. He Is charged for
cleaning and scrubbing his quartern
Just as If they were rented by tho
month In an ordinary oitlce building,
nnd It any of the furniture or the llx
tures or the building suffer damage h
Is required to pay for It.
There Ir, of course, u. reason for all
this. People do not Intnt trouble
without some motive, nnd no doubt
the commendable purpose of tho of
llclal who Invented this system of
charges was to teach care and econ
omy to the cadets. Whatever Is left
from the salary of n cadet after
charging him wit a all these Items re
mains to his credit, nnd Is paid to
him whenever he goes on a furlough
or when he graduates, which Is of
course an Inducement for him to bo as
careful ns possible In his expendi
tures. Furthermore, the knowledge
that oveiy thing that Is broken
or Injured Is charged against him
makes him careful of government
property. For example, a cadet Is re
quired to pay for all the stationery
nnd sonp that Is Issued to him, HU
dipper and his broom cost 20 cents
each, nnd, although these are small
Items, It Is probable that many cadets
take better care of their dippers and
their brooms and are more economical
In the use of their stationery than
they would be If such supplies were
a free gift of the government.
Last year It cost each cadet 53
cents per day for his board and they
nre fed very well for that money.
Some of the cadets nre so careless nnd
extravagant In spending their allow,
nnce that when the time comes for
