Tlic Collett Will. Josephus Uollett, as many will re member, died at Terre Haute over two years ago leaving an estate valued at over a half million dollars. He had unfortunately endorsed a 8300,000 note, and this was and is the stumbling block to the carrying out of the provisions of a will he had made. Two of the beneficiaries of the will, Henry and Collett Campbell, reside here. They were to receive 830,000 each. Regarding the matter the Indianapolis Journal says: "Judge Jump and Dr. Bogard, executors of the estate cf the late Josephus Collett, the well known Terre Haute cap.talist, have been ruled to answer in the United States Court a week frota last Monuay in tho suit brought by New York capitalists, who hold a note for 8300,000 which Mr. Collett endorsed. If the amount is paid out of his estate it will prevent the execution of his will, in which he made several large bequests to public institutions, among them $75,000 to tho Rose Polytechnic Institute, of Terre Haute, and 875,000 for an orphans' home in Vermillion county, where Mr. Collett formerly lived. When Mr. Collett sold the Chicago & Ohio River road to Mr. Mackey, ho indorsed the note now in litigation. The note was issued by Mr- Mackey, and has aB indorsee, besides Mr. Collett, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Baldwin, who were associated with Mr. Mackey in the Mackey Bystern of railroads. Since the note was sold Mr. Mackey haB become a bankrupt and tho names of Baldwin and Hopkins are not of account as regards the payment of the note, and Mr. Collett is dead. At tho time ho made his will Mr. Collett had no thoughts that he would ever be called upon to pay any part of the note. A few years before his death ho was worth §800,00C, but the loss of 6200,000 in the wheel trust and as much more by tho shrinkage of values in other industrial stocks, cut his fortune in two.

Two l)utiKcro:,N Epidemic*. All over Indiana typhoid fever is raging and in many of the towns diptheria is rampant. The State board has no record of all thn places where these alllictions prevail and none of tho total number ot cases. In some places it has been necessary to close the public schools. Every where city and county boards are earnestly at work to abate the epidemics. The State board iu lending its aid and urging subordinate boards to be rigid in enforcing the quarantine ruler and thorough in disinfecting.

The progress of epidemics is too often due to incomplete disinfection. In many instances, the paper on the walls of rooniH where pa ients have been confined should be torn off anil the walls washed with the proper solution. A plan of disinfecting that is commonly followed, is to fumigates with sulphur, The State Board does not think that sulphur fumigates. The Board is alto urging that dead victims be given private I uneral and defines what private funeral is. It is not one held at a residence where the public can attend, but one attended only by those absolutely required to be there. It is thought that the cooler weather will aid in suppressing the two atllictions.

.Iiimesll. lliu'iii'K Cnp.iired. James H. Barnett, one of the men who robbed tho Adams Express Co. of 810,000, at Torre Haute, was captured a New Orleans Monday night. He has been in hiding here several weeks and was located in an obscure boarding house acro°s the river. He expresses satisfaction at his capture, being tired of flight. Only 8150. was found on his person.

Farden, his accomplice in tho robbery, was caught in Baltimore two weeks ago. Both are now behind the bars of the Vigo county jail, and both will no doubt get long sentences of confinement in the penitentiary.

"Backstop" Nmilli. Danville, III., News: While in Decatur Monday night, Sheriff Thompson called at the jail and had a talk with the conderiied murderer, C. N. ("Pacer") Smith, who was asleep when he called upon him and it was with considerable difficulty that he could be awakoned and when he was finally roused up he was stubborn and refused to talk until the subject of base ball, when the ruling passion asserted itself and the doomed man had a great deal to say. He didn't express any regret whatever at having murdered his sister-in-law and little daughter. His only regret was that he hadn't killed his wife alBo.
