Will be introduced in the Indiana State
Prison
HE IS DEAD.
An interesting attempt to solve
the convict labor problem is to be tried in the Indiana Slate prison. Hand looms will-be introduced and the men will be taught to make blankets, towels, sheets and bedticking for their own use. The hand looms will be introduced gradually as the presents contract of employers for the labor of the men expire, and all may have expired by 1904. It is necessary that the men have something to (hi while in prison, and as the labor unions oppose their being taught trades that will be of practical b nelit to them or their being employed in the making of good that will come into competition a ith free labor this is the best solution" left. The goods madeb the old fashioned hand looms can compete but slightly with the machine woven products or skilled workmen. While the system may do in the state prison, it would be almost criminal to apply it to re formatories where boys are confined. If the young men are to be tanght a trade it should be oui that will be of real use to then and not that of a hand loom weav er. The boys should be taught trades in order that they may I arn to earn an honest living.

Passed a Life That was Hank to Him
For a Robber's Bullet Robbed Him of Reason.
A brief dispaeth from Louis vi!le announced . the death of George K. Davis at his home in that city. The mere mention of this fact would hardly cause a second thought from the reader, were it not for the reason that the dead man at one time played a promineut "ole in one of the mo.-t dastardly crimes ever committed in Indiana. It was just fouiteen years ago the 19th day of last April between ten and eleven o'clock, the Chicago night expre s on the Monon was held up on Smithville hill, near the 4big rock" and the express car relieved of its treasure. George Davip, then a handsome youug man probably 25 years of age was in charge of the American express company's safe as messenger. With him in the car was Peter Webei, another young man of New Albany a baggageman in the employ of the Monon company. No other person was in the car at the time, both men having lain down on a jot or were sitting in a large arm chair endeavoring to catch some sleep before Blooinin:ton was reached. The train had stopped at the Harrodsburg tank for water ami was hardly under ull speed ascending Smithvilie hill when some man walked into the baggage ar carrying a heavy hickory club in his band. He was upon Weber before that person was aware of his presence. The stranger whos-e actions boded no good for the two men brought his club down with crushing force on poor Weber's lead felling him to the floor. He lext seized a revolvet from thi hands or a pigeon hole used foi .nail near Davis and deliberately shot the alarmed messenger in th lead. Davis fell to the floor with i groan and Weber came to hi.senses just in time to see his comrade fall. Quickly turning, tin robber pointed his gun at W7ebei who began to think his time had come. He forced him to secure possession of the keys to the express safe and open it after whicl he extracted the various mone packages it contained and forced them in the pocket of a heavy coa he wore. lie turned to leave the car still grasping the revolver but on a second thought he brought the weapon to bear on Weber who fell to the floor on his knees and begged the robber to spare his life. With a bitter laugh the desperado pulled the trigger and
Webber fell to the floor with a bullet in the side of his head. Just as he walked from the car the robber pulled the bell cord and the train came to a stop near the big rock on Smithvilie hill. He bounded from the train and disappeared in the underbrush. Con doctor Harry Chambers hastened from the sleeping car where he was engaged when the train came to a standstill and was not long in dis covering the state of affairs. The train was hurried; to this city and officials notified. Davis stdl un conscious was removed to the Or chard house opposite the depot, where he hovered between life and death for days. Weber's wound was not fatal nor of a serious nature, the ball having passed down the check bone to a position under the chin where it is plaiuly felt to this day, The bullet had pierced
Davis's brain, the latter having oozed out at intervals. He finally recovered in a measure but his mind was a blank and his life was wrecked, for George Davis was but, a shadow of his former self. He was the 0nly support of a widow mother and the Express company placed him on a pension, permitting him to do odd chords about the Louisvile office. The citizens of Bloomington are familiar with the trial of Chesley Chambers, a young farmer possessed of an excellent repntatiou and character who was araested on the charge of being the man who committed the robbery and sentenced lo the States prison for a term of two years after one of the most hotly contested legal battles in the history of the state. Chambers served his term and returned to hi.home south of the city a changed man. He has since married and is now located on a farm in the west part of the city. There is and always will be a strong doubt as to his guilt.
HARRY AND PONIES.
Howard has Caught the Public Favor in in Gotham.
Harry M Howard, of this citv, is filling an engagement with his educated ponies at Proctor's New York theatre this week. The Telegraph in Tuesday's issue gives him the following jolly: 4 'Harry Howard's pony, dog and monkey show is a bit of circus life transferre 1 to the stage, and unlike most dog and auimal shows, is a good vaueville act. The ponies are well trained and show an amount of intelligence far greater than that possessed by most of the dog trainers who make a living by exhibiting their canines in hoop jumping and somer saulting stunts. The' ponies are beautiful little creatures, full of life and spirit and perfectly famil ior with their stage business. They not only go through all the loot movements common to cavalry horses at the word of command, but also count and answer questions according to their limitations in a way that speaks well for the hrain makeup of man's best friend The dogs are good riders, and the frightened little monkey is thoroughly in earnest in his imitation of the Mears Sisters. The wrestling pony is a liughter provoker, and the falls of the human wrestler so well faked as to make the horse appear a perfect Muldoon among equmes.
PURE FOOQ RULES
Will Be Promulgated Early in 1900. Dr. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, said Wednesday, that the pure food stan dards will be promulgated early in January. He has been working day and night to get the matter in shape, and only the immensity of the work has caused the delay. It was thought it would be a small matter to write the regulations, but it was found that there were so many interests to be fairly treated that the board cannot meet to discuss the matter, but must do so through the mails. The work is being pushed as fast as possible, but it is a matter that cannot be rushed through in a day, the board says.
