The Action of the Water Company More Than Likely to Rcact.
HOISTED BY TliEill 0W5 PETARD.
A Water Company llein^ Organto Supplant Tlml tine AVliicli in Now Mai inn the Citizens llowl ami Croan.
Steps arc being quietly taken to oi anize anew water works company in this city. The gentlemen at the head of the enterprise have gone so far as to have an expert engineer make an estimate of the cost of the plant complete. It is proposed that the springs along Dry Branch shall be utilized by a system of gang wells. It is known that this water is as pure as that which flows from the Garden of the Gods. Coming as it does from above the drainage of the city it will be forever free from all contamination. The system proposed will be direct pressure which assisted by natural gravity will give a pressure to any consumer in the city from 00 to SO pounds. The engineer estimates that it will require about twelve miles of mains of various sizes to ^supply the consumers. With the present prices of the material which will enter into the construction of the works—less than one-half eight years ago—the plant complete can be made to cost considerably less than $50,000. The men at the head of the enterprise are among our most progressive citizens. They have the means and anything they undertake they generally push to a successful termination. No such word as fail can be found in their lexicon. One man alone will put §10,000 into the enterprise.
They propose to place water rentals so that they will be within the reach of all. The difference between the interest on 840.000 or §50,000 and $ $00,000 will be about the difference between the proposed and present rates. Matters will perhaps assume definite shape in a few days. The people are ripe for relief and they will hail this announcement with a satisfaction that cannot be expressed.
Accidentally Shot.
The following from the Lawrence, Ivan.. World, will be sad news to the friends of .1. F. Bay less and family here:
Otis lSavless. the seventeen year old son of J. F. liayless. of the Indiana cash grocery, was accidentally filled full of No. shot yesterday by a gun in the hands of his younger brother, who "did not know it was loaded.'' Otis had taken the gun out to shoot a hawk and without tiring it had leaned it up against a fence and then sat down to read about thirty feet distant. His brother afterwards began fooling with the gun and it went off putting sixty shot into Otis. One shot entered the eye ball and will probably destroy th sight of the eye. Dr. Clifford was called and afterwards consulted with
Dr. Morse:. The injured boy is restin easily and the only fear is that inflammation may set in. Theodore Bayless, who tired the shot, is almost prostrated with LTief.
AVoul(l 11iiv lleen Nominated. Said John L. Goben last week: "I have beeu nearly over the whole State and 1 am satisfied that if Charley Heachler had lived he would have secured the nomination for State geologist. You would be surprised to know his reputation as a geologist over the State. It is first class and he really had numbers of prominent men working for him. I am perfectly satisfied that if he had lived lie would have, nominated.''
JSrooksliire Seared.
The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette interviewed Congressman Urookshire April 12th as to his candidacy l'or renomination. When asked if he would be a candidate he replied in an uncertain way, not knowing whether he would or not. The fact is Urookshire is scared. lie begins to see that there is some kind of handwriting on the wall.
The I'-itflit Will Occur.
Notwithstanding the fact that the sheriff of Fulton county is chasing about the country after Ed Cory for prize fighting Ed's fight with Marvin, of Grape Creek, 111., will occur according to programme about May J. It will not occur at Danville, 111., however, as was planned, but at some place remote from that city. Edward is now in training for the coming frav.
ltmae Stover's l'reak.
A sow belonging* to Isaac Stover, north of the city, has given birth to a decidedly peculiar pig. The little animal's snout is the counterpart of an elephant's trunk and except for being hoofed the pig strikingly resembles a miniature elephant. It is one of the greatest natural curiosities in this section of the State.

(HVtlic Kontl Kiviu-lit aiil Into Jail In the Short S|mr« of l-'ivo Minutes...
On Saturday the police received word from Lafayette to arrest a young lady from Lafayette who would arrive here from Lafayette on the local Motion freight. When the freight came in it young lady got off who fairly look the breath of Marshal Brothers, who was there expecting to pull some red-nosed representative of the demimonde. The young lady alighting was richly but modestly dressed and decidedly "a beaut." She had soft brown hair and great big melting brown eyes. She was mighty pretty to be sure, and when the gallant Marshal arrested her he took off his hat and wiped a tear from his eye with a black bordered handkerchief he uses only at funerals and hangings. The young lady collapsed when told she was '"wanted," and allowed considerable of the briny to ilow on the way to the jail. She was not locked up there in a cell, but kept in the office where she was seen by

noon. She was told ihat she was wanted in Lafayette for hooking a dress and made the following hysterical statement. "Why, the horrid old thing! 1 mean Mrs. Ueemer. the dressmaker. She was to make my dress for $".30 and I had paid her nearly all and 1 called last night to pay the rest but she wasn't there. 1 couldn't wait but I was going to mail it to her. 1 live in Jamestown and was visiting Rev. Webb and family in Lafayette. Mrs. Ueemer is a horrid old thing so she is. She wrapped the dress up for me Thursday herself and said 1 could pay for it whenever I got ready."
The young lady was taken back to Lafayette Saturday by a captain of police who said she was wanted for petit larceny.

About. 0 o'clock Friday night,'lire was discovered north of town ill the direction of the poor farm. It was thought some that this institution was timing but Mace Townsley drove out there and discovered that the lire was wo or three miles further on at the arm of Harvey Elliot. His barn, a mall one, had burned to the ground with all of its contents excepting one horse, which escaped with its tail, mane, ears and large patches of skin burned off. The poor animal spent the night in agony and will have to be
Killed. Three other horses were burned, two of which belonged to Mr. Elliot's sons-in-law, James Robinson and Wm. Diekerson. These gentlemen had come from a distance to attend the entertainment at the Wlvitlock avenue school, in which two of Mr. Elliot's daughters took leading parts. The entire family, with the exception of Mr. Elliot and the small children had gone to the school and when the lire broke out Mr. Elliot was asleep, lie has no idea of the origin of the tire, but it is a severe loss to him as there was no insurance and he is a poor man who has always worked hard for a living.
To Standing Koom.
The play of the '"Irish Janitor," given in the Fiskville school Friday night was one of the best home talent performances in the history of the city. The place was jammed by an enthusiastic audience 'and Keplar's orchestra furnished the sweetest of music. The only disturbance was the giving away of the bench occupied by Manager Townsley, of Music Hall, who was present with an eye to booking the attraction. The performers were all ex cellent in their parts and the following is the cast of characters:

Miss EHie Elmore, brought the house down as Mrs. Grump. and Joe, Coppage as her little son Johnnie was too cute for anything. Miss Mattic Moniker sustained the part of Marley Undertow with characteristic expression and energy. Glen Coppage impersonated the Irish Janitor in his inimitable style and was generously encored on every specialty introduced. lie also sustained the character of Harmon, and made sonic quick changes in costume. Miss ISertha Elliot as the school Miss, conducted her part with such success that that she would be taken as a lirst class school teacher. Joseph Courtney as I'ndertow, the principal member of the school board, was a strong character throughout. ("has. litirroughs as Cipher and William Misli as Trueblood added weight and dignity to the board and sustained a dignity far above their years. Miss Lena Elliott as Mrs. I'ndertow showed that she "knew all about her hitsbaiid'saffairs" in admirable style. Miss Annie Elliott played the character of Minnie Truelilood and proved a fine player as a friend of the school Miss. Miss Eula Kepler as Miss Ilulda Ilardwick was a fine character and a very "accurate pupil."' Tab I'.ur roughs as Amelia Fattie had eaten a specially large supper and was as fat as it was possible to be. and brought the house down when he smiled on
Hulka Ilardwick.
The State Health Oflicern.
The conference of state health officers, last week, was devoted mainly to "resoluting.'' It was voted to request the next legislature to make a law paying health ollicials regular salaries to advise the adoption of a new code of health rules: to demand a law providing an inspector of dairy cows and another requiring physicians to cleanse syringes iors 27 .Juniors, and like instruments, in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
A OucRtion of Moment
The question now before the house of lords is ''Will John Hooe accept the Democratic chairmanship for Union township?" It is stated on pretty good authority that he will not. The cause of this rumored declination of exalted honor is not given but guessing eontests are always free in matters xolitical and most of the guesses made up to date strikingly correspond.
THE SEW CATALOGUE

The appearance of the catalogue of Wabash College this year has been looked forward to with much interest as it was known that it would embody all numerous changes and improvements that have been occurring during the last twelve months. Its mechanical make-up is radically different from ill previous catalogues and superior to them in every way. The pages are smaller and there are more of them, being '.15 instead of TO as last year.
President- burroughs used excellent taste in selecting a very superior grade of paper, lie also displayed good judgment in choosing Tim
JOUKNAI. COM
PANY to do the printing. The work has always heretofore been done at Indianapolis or Cincinnati, but with our greatly increased facilities we are able to do their class of work better than many establishments in large cities. Members of the faculty pronounce it the finest catalogue typographically ever issued by the college. A committee of the faculty with Prof. Studley as chairman had charge of the proof reading and preparation of the copy. The contents of the book are well worth reading as they are almost altogether different from what has appeared before. The frontispiece is a handsome photogravure of the campus with Yandes Library Hall in the foreground. The faculty, including professors and assistants, consists of twenty-five teachers. There is the usual historical sketch, followed by a description of the advantages of Crawfordsville as a place of resilience, which is an excellent piece of advertising for our city. The various buildings are described in detail and are appraised as follows: South Hall, SKI,000 Center
Hall, ».V.},000 Peck Hall, 827,000 Hovey museum, $1*1,000 Yandes Hall, $38,000, boiler house. $7,000 total $151,000. The campus is valued at $,-15,000, and the contents of the various buildings, including apparatus library and specimens, at $'.1,000, making a total of nearly SliOO.OOO invested in material and equipment. The library contains over HO. 000 vol limes and among them a complete set of the minutes of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church of the United States and the records of the earliest Presbytery and Synod. The department libraries, espeeially those of History and Sociology, Biblical Literature and Philosophy, have been greatly enriched during the present year, over $1,000 having been expended on them. Under the "Departments of Instruction," .«
Philosowhy, Language and Literature, and Mathematics and Science, each professor explains the studies and work required under hint and under the '•Courses of Instruction" the work necessary to receive the different degrees ol P. A., Ph. H. and U. S. is laid out and compared, and a complete schedule of the recitations for the year l-'ii.'i is given. We will give a more detailed description of the courses later. It takes five pages to tell about the terms of admission which are much more strict than formerly. The preparatory department has been greatly strengthened by the addition of German and other studies. Prize declamations are substituted for the orations which have been the custom for the past few years, and another prize scholarship has been added for the student best prepared for the Philosophical course. Under the head ofv "General College Orders." the. rigid rules which have made the boys get down to work arc given. The requir-* inents as to examinations are especial-^ ly strict and, as a result, several of the!"! best students in college have lost their class standing and are called specials. They were unable to stand the sudden, transition from Norris to Studley and^l consevuently failed in mathematics.-" The college has five beneficiary funds for the aid of indigent students, one of them having been established by Simon
Yandes. One of its provisions is that the students receiving its aid shall pledge themselves to abstain from the use of tobacco. A summer school is announced to begin June 2(1 and last ix It is in a .i Kingery. The total enrollment is 240, divided as follows: Graduates. 7: !3en-§f 2li Sophomores, 28 Freshmen,,.. 3ti special, 28 Senior pre-: paratory, Junior prsparatory, 30 special preparatory, 22. The number of catalogues printed is 5,000, about 2,(100 more than usual.
