Tuesday Week-
The city election is to be held on Tuesday week, and as the time draws nearer the interest seems to be increasing somewhat in the prospective results. The labor union in this city, it is reported, numbers between 400 and 500 members, and if its members vote anywhere toward a unit for the candidates the result may bn very different from that now anticipated by many interested individuals. In the meantime all the candidates are hustling around, and will visit every part of the city to interview voters.

rientioned in Connection With the
Pearl Bryan Murder.

"Fighting Bob" Evane still has a stiff lee because of the shot he received in an engagement some years ago Evans had given orders to clear the ehip for war action, which made the crew wild with enthusiasm.

EVERYTHING NOW READY.
Indiana Troops Only Waiting for the
C®'!—Every Company Wants to Answer-Can Not All Go.
Indianapolis News: The preliminary preparations for putting the Indiana troops in the Held in the event of a call from the general government hive been completed, and the state and military authorities say there is nothing more to do but wait for the requisition. Nothing was being done to-day. General he McKee and Captain Curtis left for Washington last night, and this morning the Governor took advantage of the lull to go to his farm to seo how the employes are getting along with the spring work. He will be at his office to-mor-row morning.
All the State's preparations so far have been based on the information communicated by the Secretary of War through W. T. Durbin, the Governor's agent, that the first requisition will be Indianapolis Light Artillery and one regiment of infantry of volunteers. Everything that was necessary to be done to put the Light Artilery in condition for active service
haB
been done.
The battery is not supplied with modern field pieces, but there is assurance that as soon as it is mustered iBto the regular service it will be equipped with the best at the command of the War Department,
The provisional arrangements for the formation of the regiment of volunteers, which have been announced, do not give satisfaction to all the men connected with the militia, but it has been realised from the start by the authorities that there would be objections to any plan that might be agreed uponThe trouble is that every company in the National Guard of the Btate, and every commissioned officer wants to got and is anxious to have a good place. The regimental colonels are inclined to object to the plau of making up regiment for the field by taking three companies from each of the four regiments in the militia of the state. It would be wiser, they maintain, and more in accord with the rule that has always prevailed in military affairs, to call on one of the regiments as a whole.
Harry B. Smith, of this city, colonel of the 8econd Regiment, is leading the opposition to the plan proposed. He declares that to mako up the regiment for the field by taking companies out of all the regiments in the National Guard witl disrupt the militia. He says he will not accept a commission aB major of any regiment made up of detached companies. "I feel that I am right about it," he said to-day. "I have not talked with the colonels in the National Guard, but I was told that Colonel Gunter feels the same way. 1 think that if Lieutenant Deffrees, U. S. A., or Admiral Brown, or any one, be consulted it will be found that they will advise that a regiment be made up of detached companies."
It is explained at headquarters that the plan is only provisional. Governor Mount has said all along that in the event of a call he would ask the I. N. G. to a conference, aBd be guided by their advice in forming the regiment of volunteers. The impression haB been that it would be best to make the regiment by taking companies from each of the regiments in the militia organization. It has been explained that there ought to be as much honor in being a major in time of war as being a colonel in time of peace. Brigadier-General McKee has indicated that he is not only willing but anxious to surrender bis pdace title to a war title of colonel. One band of music will accompany the regiment, and it will probably be the
Second Regiment
band of this city. Four bands of music, one for each regiment, are attached to the National Guard. The Governor to-day was notified that the C. T. Doxey Military Band, of eleven pieces, bad been formed at An derson, and would like an assignment to go out with the first troops.
The first application to be a scout reached the governor to-day. It came from A. J. Gossard, of Kempton, this state. The applicant sent along a picture of himself, and asked to be made a "scout, sharp-Bhooter or expert marksnian."
Coal Creek Is Prepared.
A cannon has been planted on Round Hill by J. D. Wilson. The cannon points in the direction of Cuba and the American flag floats over it. The place has been christened Fort Wilson in honor of Mr. Wilson who fortified the knoll.—Journal.

Reader, if you were asked to tell what sort of accidents on the railroads killed the most employees every year you would unhesitatingly say coupling and uncoupling cars. So numerous had this class of accidents become that congress enacted a law requiring the adoption of more uniform couplings. But the answer you made would not be correct. During the year the killed by coupling cars numbered 229. The number killed by falling from trains and engines was 472—over twice aa many. The number injured while connecting cars waa 8,457 —more than twice the number injured from falls from trains.
