.Money Tieil Up.

Tho New Mooon has 800,000 in the I Chicago hank that failed the other day. The regular pay day on that road is the 28th of the month, the payments being made hy checks through local agents. Mr. McDoel for years, however, has ordered tho employes puid before Christmas, so that they might have their money. The checks were made out, but before they could be cashed the bank failed. This has caused some uneasiness among tho men, who fear that they will eit.her lose their last month's pay, or at least have to take a reduction.- Indianapolis News.

AN UNGRATEFUL SON.

Shows Himself to Be a Dog in His

Treatment of Aged Parents

Who Visit Him-

The New Richmond Enterprise of last week relates an instance of base ingratitude on the part of a son toward his aged parents, in that locality a fewdays ago. The Enterprise does wrong in failing to give the name of tho beast so that he could be pointed out and shunned by his neighbors. Tho ELterprise says: "One of the mOBt distressing sights that vo have witnessed in a life time occurred here this week. An aged couple, the husband being 78 years old and at one time a prosperous and influential farmer near here, a man who counted his acres by the hundreds, and a man whose latch string always hung on the outeido to all comers while ho enjoyed the comforts of a eood home, but whom misfortune overtook and who is now denied shelter by his own blood, was a guest at the Black Bear hotel with his wife for two days and a night, waiting in vain for hiB son to come after him and his aged wife. At last kind friends made up money and sent them to the country, and when they arrived at their destination they were met with curses. What makes the curses more bitter is the fact that the one bestowing them sent to the poor house and had them brought here for no other purpose than to curse them and to foist, them upon someone else.''

The Dispatch from JefTt-r-'un-dle says:

Chief Cisco Monday morning arrested t_ harle.- l, fr i*, ot' Underwood, on a charge of I. murdered Will Count?, a druj^.-t -o Reelsvillo, near Torre Haute, for u.u p..-nose of robbery. The dew was fo.,ml in two bicycles which were shipp to Jetfersonville from Terro Haute, ami which are supposed to belong to the alleged murderers. Counts was ki:!ed on the night juBt preceding Thanksgiving, while going home from his store, and is supposed to have lia'l about §30 with him. One of the men under suspicion was dressed in a red sweater, dark gray pants and cap tho other ore a black sweater, dark pants ani cap. For two weeks detectives have witched the Adams express office hen, it being known that the men had left their wheels in Terro Haute for board, and that one of them had sent money to pay from Evansyillo, and instructed shipment to be made to Jeffersonville. Gray acknowledged I hat he was in Reelsvillo with a companion tha night of the murder, also that he and his partner were dressed as described.

Opposing rho Centennial

During tho last two weeks the Lebanon Patriot, the republican county organ of Boono county, has published a number of interviews on the advisability of tho Legislature appropriating money for a State centeni.ial. Those interviewed were chosen at random from every section of tho county, and represent every shade of political belief. Without a single exception, they declare against the proposed appropriations. Sincdthese interviews have been published, expressions have been obtained from many other citi'/. -ns. and there is yet to be found one who favors the project. The papers of tho county are a unit against it and Representative-elect SylveBter Titus has, declared his purpose of recording ins vote ugirnst it, should tho opportunity offer. On the subject of appropriating money for a centennial, Boono county votes no.

The CiKiirt-ilc Ordinance

The at its last meeting passed the cigarette ordinance. The provisions are that persons desiring to sell such things shall take out license which is placed at. S-'iOO. This is all right. If one prohibiting the sale of them altogether had passed the council it would have ooen more popular. The general brands of cigarettes are composed very generally of rank poison, and the continuous steady use of them in almost all cases effects the mental and physical status to a great extent, and numerous cases have been shown where they produced insanity and death. Might as well almost iicense opium joints as to permit cigarette smoking. We trust tho ordinance w:!l remain in force, and if men unthinking enougli desire to sell thom they shall pay a big, high price for so doing. Very few will kick over tlie enactment of this ordinance,
