The Site'of the Light Plant. The city has contracted for the purchase of site for the municipal light plant. It is the lot on north Washington street where the old elevator burned.

Private Opinion Made Public.

Representative A. N. Higgins:"—I tell you these legislatures don't stick close enough to business to suit me. Our last legislature was unruly and had lots of cut-ups in it. Why, some of those fellows just cut up and played pranks all the time. They didn't want to do any business. I guess all legislatures are that way though and don't accomplish very much.

On Saturday at Wilson's livery stable on north Green street twenty-two fine Holstein cattle were sold at auction, Tude Hamilton officiating as auctioneer. The cattle were brought here by the firm of Thomson & Bland, of Indianapolis and sold for good prices, ranging from 850 up to $102.

John S. Brown Fleeced.

Tho Jackson township correspondent in the Covington Friend has the following:

John S. Brown, of Crawfordsville, is buying and working stave timber here. Joseph Brunei- and Jacob Creamer are his purchasing agents and managers. The other day an order was presented to Mr. Brown by a woman, saying that she had sold timber to the amount of tho order. which was §200. As it was the first rder, Mr. Brown supposed it to be genuine, and issued a check for that amount. Other orders came in and Mr. Brown saw that they did not correspond with the first, and he called one of his agents to Crawfordsville and ho informed Mr. Brown that ho had been duped. The developments may lie astonishing, as the description fits close to several persons, and it is not unlikely that Jackson will be represented at the lake «ide boarding house.

TIRED OF HARD TACK.

Three Deserters From the Regular Army Captured in This City By the Police. Officers Brothers and Conners made a no it capture hero Saturday which netted them tho very respectable purse of 81X0 and a pleasure trip to St. Louis. While they were investing tho environments of tin* M'onon station at an early hour Friday morning they overheard voices in a side-tracked box car. Advancing cautiously they had tho pleasure of listening to a Highly entertaining conversation between three deserters from the Regular Army. The whole matter of their desertion from the Jefferson barracks of St. Louis, and their futu re movement was discussed in the hearing of the officers. The men soon left the car and proceeding up town were arrested and lodged iu jail for vagrancy. Their uniforms had been left behind but one of them was still wearing a government shirt and shoes. The matter was kept, very qui el Saturday until a telegram was received from Col. Bernard, of the Jefferson Barracks, announcing that he would pay a reward of 800 apiece for tho men. The telegram was received at 5 o'clock Saturday evening and tho capture was then common talk on tho streets, causing a large delegation to assemble at tho Monon station Sunday afternoon to seo tho captors and captives leave for St. Louis. When informed Sunday morning that Bernard had been heard from tho men acknowledged the corn and gave their names correctly as follows: Thomas

Dillon, Thomas Burke and Charles T. Melville, all green privates at the barracks. They took their capture good naturedly and will probably get. off will, a term in tho guard house and a loss of salary. When interviewed by The Jouhnal at tho station they had not much to say but stated that tliey left because they were tired of army life and its routine. They were good looking, well behaved country boys and evidently had had enough of Col. Bernard's hard discipline. "Wo escaped on tho night of Easter Sunday," said Melville, "and were on our way to Chicago. This fellow wo call Dillon is really Taseot, and we are going to give him up and get the money." "Go chase your face," responded Dillon. "You see Burko got scared when this Italian trouble arose and concluded he had better ski]). Wo followed him to recapture him, and unfortunately these police thought wo were all three deserters." "Don't you believe it," was the rejoinder. "If there had only been a good live scrap arisen with Italy we would never have left. We left because the routine of inactive army life is intolerable."

Just then the train pulled in and tho gay trio, securely hand-cuffed, boarded the train with their captors and were soon whirling away for their barracks somewhat dubious probably as to their reception by the affable Colonel Bernard.

The Purchasing of Gravel Roads. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Rush county case given last Friday does not have any bearing on the cases in this county. The decision relates to the right of one or more townships which voted a tax to purchase a toll road running through the several townships, tho said election having been ordered by tho Countv Commissioners on a joint petition of the citizens of the townships interested. Three townships in Rush county, in one of which is Rusliville, voted on such an issue. The two out townships gave a majority for the purchase in the Rushvillo township. Tho former then carried the case up to the Supreme Court, on the ground that tho one township had no right to force a tax upon tho others. The court's decision is that the three townships having secured the election on joint petition, tho majority, as an entirety, decides the matter, township lines have no bearing in the case. Tho election held in this county to vote on the question of purchasing tho toll roads in Union, Ripley, Wayne, Franklin and Walnut townships were not authorized by a joint ]etition. Union, Wayne and liipley towsnliips voted in July. In tho two latter townships tho proposition was overwhelming defeated, but in time it was carried by a vote of nine to one. But a subsequent election, however, the proposition was carried in Ripley and Wayne and the toll roads wore made free. In Franklin and Walnut the elections were not hold until the following October, when the proposition to buy four miles in the former and 00-100 of a mile in the latter was voted down by large majorities. The decisions therefore does not apply to Montgomery county.

Hamilton In Hoc.

Nat Hamilton slept in the county jail April 10. Whether or not ho occupied Pettit's old bunk is not known, but he was there on an affidavit sworn out by Sam Beach charging him with embezzlement. Nat did not \Vant to go, but that watchful guardian of the red eyed law, high Constable Byas, gave him no alternative. Beach gave Hamilton §25 on the 2nd of January to buy stock, but Hamilton bought none and turned in only $13.50, refusing to account for the other $11.50. On Saturday Mr. Hamilton was yanked up before the Mayor and waived examination. Upon consent he was then released upon his own recognizance.

PROF. COULTER INTERVIEWED.

He Will Loave For His New Home Early In the Summer. Prof. Coulter has returned Troiii Bloomington whore ho met, the trustees, faculty and students and accepted the presidency of the State University, lie will have complete control of affairs down there. If a member of the faculty is not giving satisfaction ho does not have to confer with the trustees or anybody else, but, simply relieves him without any red tape. ITe has power to introduce any new methods or policy lie' sees lit and is in fact a perfect, autocrat as was Jordan before him. In an interview with the Indianapolis Jmiriiiil correspondent last evening Dr. Coulter said: "There will be no radical ehango in the niothods of management of the the university, so far as the Presidential manipulation is concerned, because like Dr. Jordan's plan. The plan is in entire accord with my own opinions and it is almost exactly similar to my own ideas. It is tho advanced method and is rapidly manifesting its excellence, All I need to do in that rerespect is to carry out some minor dotails. I can, however, think of a few things a little way ahead which will, I hope, prove to our advantage. I liavo frequently been in consultation with Dr. Jordon, and our views on all these sub-' jocts have harmonized. There is only one thing to mar my happiness, and that is the ombarassing act ion taken recently at Wabash college. It places mo in a very embarrassing position. It is my intention to move to Bloomington early in tho summer ami I believe we shall bo pleased with our new position. Dr. Jordon will continue to manage tho university here until the end of the college year. 1 shall be here frequently, and both of us meanwhile will give our efforts towards securing the highest welfare of tho institution."'

Harry Soaton will accompany Prof. Coulter to Bloomington and act as his assistant.
