Music Hall.
"The Hoosier Doctor" will bj at at Music Ilall on Tuesday night, Jan' 3. In "The Hi osier Doctor" as presented by Dighy Bell and Laura Joyce Bell, there is a Bmoothnees and finish that entitles them to their high rank among actors of refinement and genuine merit. The supporting company are of the same bigh excellence as the stare and seeing them there is no thought of acting. It seems real life. "The Hoosier Doctor" is by Augupt us Thomas, author of "Alabama," "In Missouri," etc., and iB in his happiest vein. In fact some of his beet work is in this piece. It is a simple story of simple people. No thrilling climaxes.but acontinual charm in dialogue and situations that is BO dolicately handled that it never fails to attract and pleabe those who care for real art. Theatre-goers who appreciate aad patronize the beet attractions cannot afford to miss this. It is a gem in every way.

Ingersoll's Work Spoken by a Preacher. Rev. Henry Frank, in the course of his sermon esterday on "Ingereoll and the Preachers" said: "Wny do not preachers acknowledge at onc that Ingersoll, in bis way, is doing a good work for humanity? I azn not afraid to make a clean sweep confession. I believe if Jesus were on thiB continent to-day He wfluld seek out Robert G. Ingereoll and, taking him by ihe hand, welcome him as a co worker in the vineyard of the truth. Ingersoll has been telling the truth, and I am not afraid to confess it He has been doing a good work in demolishing the monstrous superstition and ignorant creed before which Christianity bowed half a century ago.
Some preacher ought to confess the truth about Ingersoll, and 1 rcight as well be the preacher. Ingerso'l is merely saying in an off-hand and seductive manner to the unlettered masses what every Christian scholar listens to respectfully from the lips of a Huxley, a Tyndall or a Darwin. Everything that Ingersoll has said about croed, superstition and bigotry is true."—New York Journal.
Dropped Dead.
Monday, about noon, Mrs. Jennie D. Bodine died very suddenly at the home of her son, Prof. Donaldson Bodinp, on west Main street. Mrs. Bodine had been in poor health for some time but had not been confined to her bed.
Shortly after noon Monday Mr. Bodine went to the room of hiB mother to summons her to dinner and was horrified to find her lying on the floor dead. He placed her tenderly on the bed and then quickly telephoned for medical assistance. Dr. Ristine responded but found life extinct. Death was supposed to be caused by a stroke of apoplexy. The deceased was 58 years old. The remains were taken to Ovid, N. ^.,

Not in It.
rjohn Bonnell and Chas. M. Crawford are reported as boomers for Beveridge tor U. 8. Senator before the legislature. At this time it looks as if their favorite was-not in it at all, as he seems to have fewer votes to his credit than most of the other candidates.

A Model Place.
The mention of the word jail is usually attended with a shudder. To the timid person it suggests all that is loathsome anu odious. And no wonder! It is usually tenanted with the criminal classes and the lowest and most degraded of lUiin and womankind. For the inebriate in hie filth it iR a sobering off refuge, while the "bum" and his gray back friends always find a night'B lodging within its stone walls. No wonder it is a mystery to most people how such places can be kept clean, but they are, and that scrupulously too.
One hits but to pay a visit to our own jail to cut)vince thetneelvee of that fact. We doubt if there is a home in our cultured city that is attended with more cleanliness than our county jail under Sheriff Oanin» and Turnkey Charles Long. Each morning the floois of the cells, corridors and halls are scrubbed until they are as white as marble. The cells are thoroughly veniilated and the beds and clothing are neat and clean. When the festive "bum" asks for a night's lodtring he is first compelled to take a bath and hie clothing is thoroughly disinfected for the purpose of banishing the ever present "creeper." All the prisoners are required tu pay from two to tbree visits to the bath tub weekly and to many of them this in an awful torture. The sanitary conditions of th3 building are good, and all it is a model j«il and reflects much credit on the management.
Called Them ••Spongers." During the meetn of the Indiana state teachers' association at Indianapolis this week, Prof. Hamilton, head of the Huntington schools, threw a bomb into the meeting, during his address, by the statement "that for years there are teachers from all over the state who had been coming regularly to the meeiings of the state association, taking advantage of cheap railroad and hotel rates, securing a! 1 the advantages of the discussions, addresses and papers, who had never paid a dollar toward a settlement of the expenees of the meetings He said there was quite a number of this clacs of teachers who would probably have been present, as he would much prefer they should be, if they had not gone to hear Julia Marlowe." The statement created considerable ill feel, ing and threatened for a time to break up the meeting.

Begin Right.
A (food beginning is the battle half won. Begin the new year right by swearing off on all inferior brands of cigars during the year LSO'J. Stick close to the simon pure article, the Hoboe, manufactured by W A. Muhleisen It is strictly home-made, hand made and uuion made, and these three sterling features should commend it.
Fined for Fighting.
Tuesday morning James Henderson and Will Patton were arrained in the Mayor's court charged with fighting. The parties are neighboring farmers and became involved in a rough and tumble tight about some cattle tearing down a fence. Both parties were fined but each took an appeal to the circuit court.
Still "Receptive."
Gen. Wallace is still in Washington City, and rumor has it that he may be appointed U. S. Minister to Spain. Gen. Wallace is now in the 72d year of his age, and at his time of life should, it would seem, get over the hankering for official position, yet he seems a "recep tive'' for almost any soft job that the administration may have to give.
Corn Goes Up.
The corn market is taking on a very healthy appearance. In Chicago May corn is quoted at 39%c and July corn at 38'Ac. The local merchants are paying 32@33 cents. It is the opinion of many that the market here will reach 40 cents before many days.

PETER TAKEN NORTH.
Deelares His Innocence to the Last
and Says He Forgives Everybody.
Peter Crose, the Linden child ravwher, is now safely within the walls of the Michigan City penitentiary. Officer Bud Barton took him up Tuesday at noon and aside from a little excitement he caused when the train reached Linden he proved a peacable and obedient prisoner. At the latter place about irty of Peter's old acquaintances had gathered at the station to see him pass through. So eager was he to talk to them that he couldn't wait for the Officer to raise the car window but deliberately crushed the glass with hie hand-cuffs, The noise occasioned by the falling glass startled the crowd on platform for an instant anl the more timid expected to see Peter come through the window head first with a gattling gun under each arm Beeking to reek vengeance on his enemies.
Just beK leaving the jail Crose sent for a REVIEW representative, saying he wanted to make a farewell statement. He was in good spirits and said he had the satisfaction of going to the penitentiary an innocent man. He wanted us to say that he held no illfeeiing against any one and that he desired to thank thoso who stood by him and especially the judge and jury for their patience during his trial. He expects to be free in two years at the farthest and will then take up his residence again in Montgomery county.
Wants a Oame Commissioner. In an interview in the Indianapolis Nows, State Fish Commissioner Sweaey has the following to say in regard to the violation of the fish law: "The trouble lies ID the fact that Indiana has no game commissioner, and there is no one else whose special duty it is to look after the matter. As usual, 'what is everybody's business is nobody's.' "In my forthcoming report you will see that I advise extending the fisheries commissioner's office to fish and game commissioner, and giving him power to appoint fish and game deputies, who shall have power to arrest on slight any persons found violating either fish or game laws. "Nearly all other states have such a union, and all their deputies have police powers, and all the commissioners testify that they could do nothing without it. My deputies are the only ones thus handicapped. "One of two things should be don^ by the next legislatures—either unite the two positions and make a proper appropriation for enforcing the laws, or abolish the office of commissioner of fisheries.'*
Kitchen Burned.
The first fire to call out the department in eome weeks, occurred Thursday near 12 o'clock. The kitchen attached to the old Winton home, on west Market street, caught fire and WBS making good headway for a larger conflagration when the department arrived and extinguished the flames. Damage Blight.
