BB0WN HELD fOB MURDER.

The Coroner Eeturns a Yerdiot to This Effect. The coroner of Hendricks county held an inquest yesterday on the BrownWesner tragedy, and returned a Verdict charging Brown with murder. A warrant was issued and his preliminary examination will be held some time this week. The witnesses before the coroner were Dr. C. A. White, R. E. Kennedy, L. S.Ballard, Judge Hadley and others. The evidence of the eye-witnesses to the tragedy all tends to show that Brown brought on the controversy. The testimony of Ferd Winter, S. M. Ralston and others was not taken, who in interviews had stated that Wesner was the aggressor. Brown's attorneys will probably introduce this evidence on the preliminary hearing. The funeral of WeBner occurred Monday at Lebanon under the auspices of the Masonic order of which he was a member, the members of the Lebanon bar attending in a body.

Mr. Hill and the Chickens,

On last Friday evening while Pete VanLeven andjhis best girl were regaling themselves in Ben Crowe's Valley saloon Mr. William Hill came in with a large Back full of something which squawked most suggestively. Mr. Hill stated for the enlightenment of the company present that he had succeeded in capturing six pheasants on the hillside by putting salt on their tails. Of course this statement was accepted without demur and Mr. Hill having locked them up in the chicken coop resumed his dutties as barkeeper with a saint-like smile It really turned out, however, that the fowls imprisoned were chiokens after all and that they had been stolen from the flock of Mrs. George Hardee. Mr. Hill was arrested last night and now repines in jail. There were six chiokens taken but only five were recovered. The old black hen with a clipped tail was cut off Saturday night in the pride of henhood to make a feast for the holy Sabbath day. She was a good old hen and her death is mourned by Masters Fred and Harry Alfrey to whom she belonged. They thought the world of that hen and had taken her down to Mrs. Hardee in order that she might obtain points on Betting from the exemplary biddies of Mrs. Hardee. The old dunghill rooster of Masters Harry and Fred stands disconsolately on one leg and mourns the loss of his bride.

They Held a Caucus.

Some of the haders of the unwashed Democracy of Montgomery county held a caucus in Bill Johnston's office yesterday afternoon to diecuss the postoffice question. Quite a number of the lead era were not present for obvious reasons and the cauous may be said to have been somewhat factional in character. The cauous howled and bow wowed considerably but did not succeed in settling the momentous question beyond the peradventure of a doubt. Some of those present were decidedly in favor of taking the appointment out of Mr. Btookshiro's hands but an obstacle presented itself in the person of Mr. Brookshire. The caucus may justly be pronounced an ignominous fizzle but the blood thirsty gentlemen who attended it are going to hold another in the near future when the question of the Crawfordsville postoffice, the fate of the nation, and other matters of interest will be decided. It is boldly charged that those who met yesterday are the henchmen of John E. Lamb.

Mr. Switzer's Investigation. A special from Brazil says: For some time past Mr. Chamberlain, editor of the Battle Ground Repository at Lafayette, a religious publication, has been attacking tlid Rev. Mr. Switzer, pastor of the M. E. church of this city, oharging him with being a false friend to W. F. Pettit, the ex-mirister, now serving a life sentence in prison for. wife murder and for suing an estate for funeral discourse fees. Rev. Mr. Switzer's friends believe in his innocence and the reverend gentleman has beoome indignant and has demanded a churoh investigation of the charges which will be opened up here this afternoon. It is alleged that the editor's attacks were prompted by jealousy.

Several persons from Crawfordsville went down to Brazil to-day to attend the investigation. There is no doubt in the world but that Mr. Switzer will be entirely vindicated.

Preparations for Deooration Day. The school children of all the public and private schools of the city have been invited by the G. A. R. committee on Memorial Day services to participate in decorating the gropes at the various cemeteries. It is hoped that those who have conveyances will assist in taking the children to the cemeteries, starting with the decorating committee from the court house at 9 o'olock a. m.

An elaborate program has been pre pared. The address will be delivered by Major James S. Ost-rander, of Rich mond, Ind.

A Better Apportionment.

The school enumeration last year for this county was 11,517. This year it is 11,350. The apportionment last year was $17,233.39. This year with a smaller enumeration it is $19,862.50. Of this sum Crawfordsville reoewes $5,750.50.

The Advantage of a Trust Company. Capt. Herron and A. F. Ramsey believe that a Loan and Trust Company organized under the law passed by the last legislature would be a paying investment in Crawfordsville and they greatly regret that all of our capitalists do not see it the same way. If they did we would have a trust company here which would be an institution to be proud of and advantage to the community in every way. It $ould facilitate the borrowing of money on mortgage securities, make big financial transac tions of all kinds easier and keep thous ands of dollars in Crawfordsville that otherwise will go East. We hope our moneyed men will, after all, oonclude to organize a trust company. We feel Bure that the people would encourage them in every possible way.

COLLEGE NOTES.

Eight bound

A mild

volumes of the Cos­

mopolitan magazine have been added to the college library. "Will DePauw oarry the banner?"— DePamo Bema. Well, 21 to 3 doesn't exactly smack of it.

Beard, '96, who has had typhoid fever nearly all the term, will return to hie home in Waterloo next Wednesday.

The Van Mia will Bell half fare tickets to the field day exercises at Terre Haute Monday. They will be good for three days.

"bogUB"

was sprung on Junior

debaters this morning. It was decidedly thin and was not even tough. Its object is not known.

It is nearly a settled fact that Studebaker, of Purdue, who is undergoing medical treatment at Indianapolis will neither take part in State field day nor in foot ball next year. When Purdue loBes Studebaker she loses a oertain amount of her prestige.

If reports are true there will be some fine record breaking at Terre Haute next Monday. At Butler's field day last Saturday nine State records were broken. Purdue has broken eight, Wabash four, and DePauw three or four. The one-quarter mile safety was run in 36 seconds at Indianapolis last Saturday and the hop-step-and-jump over 42 feet.

The Illinois oolieges are protesting against Stagg's playing with the football and base ball teams of the University of Chicago. Stagg is one of the strongest advocates of "clean" oollege sport, but it seems that he is a little at fault here. The University of Chicago has not played a game yet without the assistance of the famous player who led the Yales on to five championships.

Down at DePauw the literary young gentlemen of the institution publish a college paper called The Bema. The presiding genius in the sanctum rejoices in the name of Jones. Mr. Jones fairly sweats his rich blue blood in writing up the Wabash-DePauw game. Like the "mob" behind the scenes he "groans and groans again" and like the Demon of Strong Drink which DePauw orators describe so glibly he "writhes and writhes again." He particularly sweats, groans and writhes, however,|in mentioning THE JOCBNAXI'S account of the game. With a burst of frenzied eloquence he denounces the "eharacture of Mr. Whitcomb as false in every particular." If Jonesy, old boy, will consult the authorities he will find that in the bright lexicon of youth and Noah Webster there is no such word as "characture." Jonesy's excitement probably got the better of his early education aijd he doubtless meant "caricature." The proof reader must also have been exoited. They were also probably excited about two issues previous when they mentioned a worthy gentleman in comatose condition as being in "catamose condition." Editors of literary college publication should not beoome excited.

LIKE TO BE "BABYED."

King* and Statesmen Fond of the C»reaA ItiC Touch of a Woman'* Hand. The woman who Is the housewife is the closest thing to the mother, and from the time men are born until they die they adore being mothered, says a writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal. They are never too old to be patted on the head by a soft white hand they are never too old to be called "my dear boy," and they are never too old to be addressed as "children." They like it. They like it immensely. They forget they are six feet two they forget their strength they only remember that they are fond of the woman who has mothered them, and they will give a great sigh of contentment when, In her own special way, she draws him up olosely to her, lays her soft cheek against his rough one, and says in a half-pitying, half-patronizing but altogether loving tone: "Poor boy!" Now, the poor boy may havo tho affairs of the nation on his mind. Financially he may be a king, but for tho time being he Is a baby, and he likes it. And the bigger ho is the better ho likes It. I can't explain it I don't pretend to. I only know It is so, and I wish more women would realize the great power of their littleness. No man ever loved

a woman who didn't find in her that bit of motherliness that made her nearer and dearer than anything else. He couldn't make her understand to save her soul, perhaps, about his money troubles, but she understands how to put her arm under him and let "him go to sleep on her shoulder when he believed sleep was Impossible. She couldn't explain it she.only knows she can do it. And the people who wonder how a clever man like him could care for a fool of a woman like her Bimply don't know what they are talking about. In this queor world of ours it Is impossible to say why people care for each other. The cleverest man I ever met in my life adored his wife because she didn't know anything— he said he was sick and tired of wisdom. You see, he wanted a woman he didn't want a walking dictionary.

HER DAD HAD BEEN STAMPEQED.

What a Republican Cattle Baron's Daughter Isaid at the Inauguration Ball. "I beg to be excused. I don't belong in this roundup. I'm off my reservation."

That was the peculiar reply a very stylish and remarkably handsome young woman made when a Washington Star reporter struck her for a description of gowns, which must have been "fetching" indeed with that girl's splendid brunette beauty inside of them. "Oh, well, most everybody is strange here now," was the society reporter's cheerful response. "We are very anxious to have all the notable people—" "That's it. I'm not a 'notable," said the brisk young woman. "Dad's not an office holder nor an office seeker. He's just a plain, everyday cattle baron, and we're not in it this trip. We're stampeded." 'Stampeded?" "Yes we don't feed with this kind of cattle, you know. Our orowd is 'E. these people all belong to the 'D.' dash range, and they've turned off the water, burned all tho grass, cut all our fences and stampeded us in great shape. Four years from now If you happen to be around here you will find the national range In the hands of the old bosses again and I'll have no objection to giving you a description of my harness.

Just now I'm astray and object to being bunched wiih this outfit." The objections must have been intelligible to the society reporter, for they were accepted, and the daughter of the "plain, everyday cattle baron" was excused from being "branded" as mixing with a breed of political "cattle" by which she declared she had been "stampeded."

SEWERS IN PARIS.

Eighteen Feet Wide, Fo«rt«en Feet High, and Without Offensive Odar*. A correspondent of the Congregationallst describes the sewers of Paris. Going down, with some seventy other visitors, by two flights of carpeted iron stairs ho landed in a vaulted chamber, where the visitors took seats in two large boats In the sewer, whioh was over eighteen feet wide and fourteen feet high. The sewage, which only the water discharge from dwellings, factories, etc., the offensive sewago from closets being otherwise disposed of, flows in a central channel twelve feet wide and from four to five feet deep, and this channel is bordered on each Bide by paved walks three feet in width and perfectly dry, sweet and cleau, giving excellent sidewalks for workmen or visitors.

The sewer Itself is far more than an American sewer. It is a great and well-built tunnel, constructed for a variety of uses, only one of whioh is to carry away the waste water of the city. 11 is a way for huge water and gas pipes for conduit and servioe pipes, for telegraph and telephone wires, and for pneumatic tubes for post office and other service.

By ropes attached to the boats the visitors were propelled along this roofed-over canal, from which no offensive odor was perceived, while the rapid current, made by the constant inflow from the side pipes and small sewers, kept up the steady flow of the stream After a long ride in the boats the visitors climbed up two or three flights of carpeted iron Btalrs, having been on their visit to the sewers Just an hour.

"Oh, Dear!"

The Springfield Union tells a story of one of the best-known American poets. Some people were calling on him and his wife, and after awhile he said to his little girl, who was playing about the room: "Go upstairs and tell your mamma Mr. and Mrs. are hero. The child wont, and after awhile returned, resuming her play. "Did you tell your mamma?" asked the poet. "Oh, yes." "And what did she say?' The little girl shrugged up her shoulders, twisted her face into an expression of unspeakable ennui and explained: "She said—well, she said: 'Oh dear!'" Tableau.
