Bumped By a Freight Oar.

On Thurday near the grocery store of Col.Pat McMnnie, Mre.Marv McCune attempted to

for the World's fair.

The committee on woman's work appointed to do something for Indiana at the World's Fair met Tuesday afternoon at the residence of the chairman, Mrs. C. M. Travis. Owing to bad weather the attendance was not large and no definite action was taken. The sentiment, however, was against donating money outright to the State commission out rather to buy an article of furniture for the Indiana building to be returned at the close of the exhibition. A public entertainment may be given to raise funds.

Mr. Uolletl's Will.

The bequests of the late Josephus Collett amount to $167,000. The estate is estimated at §500,000. This would leave$333,000 to be distributed among the heirs after deducting S75.000 for the Rose Polytechnic and tho Oolletc Or phans' home. The heirs and the amount received by each on the one-eleventh basis are:

Stephen S. Collett, SCO,000 Mrs. J. S. Turner, .$60,000 Mrs. Crawford Fairbanks, S30,000 Mrs. Ellen Jones, $60,000 Henry Campbell, .$30,000 Stephen C. Campbell, $30,000 Joseph C. Davis, $30,000 Mrs. Judge Jump, $15,000, and Mrs. C. W. Ward, $15,000.—Terre Haute Exjiress.

Titie Quieted.

OnFeb. 22 the United States Congress passed Mr. Brookshire's bill quieting the title to the property of the estate of Rachel Galey, deceased, in this city. This land originally belonged to Dr. Canby, who was connected with the government land office here. The doctor was short and in order to make ap the deficit turned over the real estate to the government. The government sold the property to the Galeys but gave a defective title. The bill passed was a just measure which no one could dispute. The fact of the title not being clear was unknown until the administrator of the estate began looking up the abstract of title a year or so ago.

Of interest to School Teachers. A HOUBO bill was oalled up by Senator Ellison and passed yesterday which amends the law exempting certain teachers from examination. The existing law provides that any one having taught six consecutive years and held two three years' licenses shall be forever exempted from re-examination. At the timb the bill was passed there was no law authorizing three years licenses— the three years olaes being fixed by the same bill making the exemption. For this reason exemptions have been made to teachers holding one two years and one three years licenses. The bill passed yesterday does away with construction and' hereafter only those hold ing two three years licenses will receive the benefit of the exemption law.

Proud Romans Irons.

The two surviving mumbers of the legions of Cassius and Brutus, who did such valiant service at the battle of Philippi on Music Hall stage not long since, have fallen low indeed. Patricians George Little and George Kernoodle, after four days in jail, were put upon the stone wile Wednesday to work out their fines for intoxication. When the taskmaster, Jere Carver, told them to get to work, they proudly wrapped their togas about them and with a curl of his noble lip and a wave of the hand that had received pay from Marc Antony himself after the play. Mr. Kernoodle remarked that he wasn't made to work. He would rother be a dog and bay the moon than such a Roman. Mr. Little squinted one eye, expectorated at a crack in the shed and remarked, "I'm wid ye, pard." They refuged to work all day and next morning centurion Grimes, a mighty man of valor, put shackles on their feet and dragged them out to the cold quarry again. They were informed that unless they worked that the banquets upon which they had been regaled would be withdrawn and bread and water substituted. Mr. Kernoodle remarked that hiB face hurt him and that he didn't care to eat. If they intended .to feed him though they might omit the water from the bill of fare. He had quit drinking. The young men are acquitting themselves like true Romans and are certainly worthy to have shared, as they did, the fortunes of the mighty Caesar or to have howled over hiB body with tha mob at Music Hall.

A GOOD BEGINNING.

In the Work of Systematic Pphilanthrophy The Meeting at tho Y.M.U.A. The mooting at the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday afternoon to organize for philanthropic work was well attended although many of those who have been most active in charity work during ih- winter were absent. Rev. G. P. Fusion was the only minister present. Others in a'tendance were: A. C. Jenni son, Dr. T. J. Griffith, Mrs. Cicero McOlure, Mrs. T. H. Ristine, Mrs. J. L. Campbell, Drs. D. H. Jackson, Miss Nancy Elston, Mrs. Robert Lursh, Miss Maggie Gilkey, Mrs. C. L. Rost, Mrs. Frank Coss, Mrs. G. S. Burr .(ighn, Miss E\augeline Binford, Mrs. R. E. Bryant, Mrs. J. H. Osborne, Misses Lily Coyle, Mary Gerard, Mary Grubb and Kate Snyder, Mrs. E. H. Cowan, Mrs. S. C. Campbell. Mrs. Cicero McCiure was made president and Mrs. T. H. Ristiue secretary, after which Rev. G. P. Fuson led in prayer. Mrs. McCiure and others stated the difficulties they had experienced in dispensing charity and how many times they had been imposed upon by the unworthy. Mr. Jennison read an extract from the Terre Haute Gazette. telling how the charity work of that city was done and Mrs. Coss explained the workings of the Indianapolis benevolent association at length. The president appointed a committee to arrange a plan of work consisting of Rev.G.P.Fnson, Mrs.Coss, Mra.MoClure, Mr. Jennison, Mrs. Lirsh, Mrs. J. L. Campbell and MisB Evangeline Binford. When ready to report this committee will call another public meeting.

The P. 0. S. of A. Oommandery Entertains in a Deligntful Manner. The first anniversary of the installation of the uniform rank P.O.S.of A was appropriately celebrated on Feb. 22 by a swell hop in the commandery' armory. It was a full drees affair, the ladies appearing at their best in new gowns aud ilowers, while the members of the commandery shone in their dashing uni forru9. Besides the twenty-six members of the commandery present there were enough outside gentlemen gue9ts to make fifty couples on the lloor, which was in splendid condition for dancing. Music was furnished for the occasion by the Music Hull orchestra and the whole affair was aB pleasant as could be. At about 10:30 o'clock all adjourned to Zeigler & Reiman's establishment where an elegant collation was served. Upon the return to the hall dancing was resumed and continued until one o'clook. A feature of the evening was the "Commandery Lanoiers" in which only the commandery and their ladies took part. It gave the brilliant appearance of a military ball and was a most pleasant spectacle. The dance was a grand success and demonstrated that the commandery is on a splendid footing in every way.

How the Alumni Will Eleot. It will be remembered that at the meeting of the trustees of Wabash College last June the alumni were given the privilege of naming one trustee each year and a committee composed of Thomas R. Paxton and T. H. Ristine was appointed to arrange the narticulars. In accordance with their instructions the librarian, Rev. E. B. Thomson, will Boon send to each alumnus a circular explaining the details and requesting him to send a nomination. Only alumni of two or more years standing are allowed to vote and a registry of all such with their addresses is kept by the librarian who is to mail to them by March 1 a request to name an alumnus to be voted for as trustee at the following commencement. On the first of May tne librarian is to prepare a list of those who have received ten or more votes, mail a copy to the alumni who shall vote for one of the nominees on or before jTuesda\ of commencement week either in person or by letter. The board of election, composed of the librarian, the registrar and secretary of the faculty, will count the votes and deolare the one receiving the largest number of votes to be the nominee of the alumni provided that the entire number of votes cast be equal to one-third of the whole number entitled to vote. The members of the board who retire this year are Capt. Robert E. Bryant of this city,

John

M. Butler, Wm. S. Hubbard and Judge William A. Woods of Indianapolis, and S. P. Williams of Lima. Unless one of these gentlemen should be nominated by the alumni, one of them will retire. The whole nnmber of alumni entitled to vote is about four hundred and seventy.

He Predicts a Mouth of Revolution and Great Storms. In the eastern parts of the continent, March will come in warm and lamb like, but the lion from the northwest will bo heard from in howling blizzard and cold. Storms of rain will be in progres, turn ing to snow all along the. northern side of the disturbances. Bv the 2nd or 3d storms will reach and "end along the Atlantic, and general cold will have followed in their track across the whole country. This condition will continue until about the 5th, when tho reactionary warmth and change of wind currents will set in in the west, resulting in progressive starms during the 6th and 7th. Cold will follow the storms, being felt genernlly over the continent between tho 6th and 9th.

One of the most dangerous storm periods for the month begins about tha lOt.h. We name tho 10th, lltli, 12th and 13th as composing a period of general and violent disturbances. This period is at the electric crisis of the earth's vernal equinox. It 1B a regular storm period, intensified by the equi noxes of Mars, earth and the moon's last quarter on the 10th. Threatening storms aud destructive gales, especially on all the southerly seas and coaBts, may almost certainly be expected. A very warm wave, attended by heavy clouds and lightning and thunder, will appear with heavy rain in southern and central sections, turning to vio'ent blizzards and snow blockades in northerly regions. As we approach the 17th warmer weather will be advancing from the west, and reactionary storms of marked intensity will be gathering. Under existing circumstances, we lay down the 16th, 17th and 18th as reactionary days of more than ordinary promise for disturbances. Watch for them, and for the cold wave which will follow.

All the warnings given above apply with equal force to the storm period running from the 21st to the 25th. No one can be practically informed as to the combination of storm causes centering on and about the 22nd, 23d and 24th, without entertaining grave apprehensions of many hard and dangerous developments. All gradations of storms, from the equatorial cyclone, the thunder storm and tornado on the south, to the sweeping

Bnow

storm ond

blizzard on the north, are liable to appear at points along the north and south parallels. Another sharp cold wave will follow, filling with cold, unsettled weather the interim up to the reactionary changes and storms about the "9th and 30th. At these dates the Venus period will begin to lap with earth and Mars, and all combined will figure in the disturbances for April, making our forecasts for that months especially important.

PROM OKLAHOMA.

Mr. Burford Writes Concerning the Pros perous Condition of the New Territory. The following extract from a private letter to the editor of THE JOURNAL from El Reno, Oklahoma, by Col. J. Burford will be of interest to hiB many friends here:

I feel sorry for you people, blocked in ice and with the frosty winds blowing through your whiskers. We have a delightful winter, enough cold and snow to make us know what winter ie and enough nice weather to make one enjoy the out door drives. Our crops are looking splendid, wheat prospect first class, con Biderable plowing for corn and oats al ready done. Stock looks well and brings good priceB. Money matters easy. Our town growing rapidly and building progressing on almost every square. A number of modern brick blocks are completed, several partly completed and about a dozen more contracted for. Our water works system ie same as yours and a complete success Electric light, telephone and Btreet car franchises part let and work to begin at once. Large flouring mili and ice plant about completed. Two railroudB and two more to be built this summer. Improved farms are Belling almost every duy for from $3,000 to $7,000 and unimproved quarter sections at from $300 to $1,000. These purchases are most all made by successful men from the north or colder climates. Everything is prosperous and prospects brightening all the time. We only long for the settlement of Cherokee strip and then Statehood. By the way ahe settlement of the strip or outlet will, when permitted, be accomplished in a day. A barren waste of prairie will be changed in a twinkling to a country of farms, fields, cities and towns, disorder will prevail for a few days and then ull will be peaceful. It will be a grand sight and will more fully demonstrate the capabilities of tho American people than any event that has ever transpired, for it is tie common people who will make this mighty race, rush and transformation. It will be the last, and will be worth the time and money of any man to see, even though he does not want to share in the distribution. It ^ill be a case where the race will be to the swift and the victory to the strong, and will aptly illustrate the "Survival of the fittest." Cities of from 500 to 10,000 will be built in a day and merchants will be selling goode on corner lots, and newspapers published in tents within twelve hours after the signal is given. Come down and we will look on when the times comes

Prisoner Pettit All Right.

THE CKAWFOHDSVILLR JOURNAL in noting the return of the Montgomery county Sheriff from a trip to the northern prison in charge of a prisoner saya:

Sheriff Bible saw W. Fred Pettit while in the prison and reports him to be in miserable health. He is not at work but has been laid off for four or five weeks. He is thin and weak and seems depressed and discouraged:

The -LVCJCS does not often attempt to contradict the statements of the Bible, but in this case it must be done. According to the statement of Dr. 11. H. Calvert there is not a word of truth in the above paragraph regarding Pettit's condition, and Sheriff Bible is badly mistaken. Instoad of being laid off for several weeks Pettit has missed but one day in several months. One day last week Pettit complained of having a severj^cold and not feeling right well aud was allowed to go to the hospital. He resumed his work next day and is in as good heaith as ever. Pettit's friends need not become alarmwl in the least regarding his condition.—MiehiqanOUy News.

What Dr. Tucker Said.

Dr. Tucker attended the State Temperance Council at Indianapolis Feb. 22 and was called upon to open the meeting with prayer. He alBo spoke, as the following from the Indianapolis News shows:

The Rev. H. A. Tucker wus the first to speak in the five-minute talks that followed. He was glad to see the spirit of biotherly love growing among the' Christian sects, and was glad to see the same spirit growing afnong all olasses of temperance workers. "Let us not," said he, "bring in our particular views. If I cannot get all I want I am willing to take a little. I don't believe we can expect to get the saloons eradicated from Indiana in a year."
