METROPOLITAN POLICE BOARDS.

A Bill to Create Tliem In All Cities of Leu Than Ten Thousand.

Senator Shively's bill to establish a metropolitan police force in all cities of less than 10,000 will attract much attention in all parts of the State.

The bill provides that there shall be four commissioners, one of whom shall be the Mayor. The other three shall be appointed by the judge of the circuit court. They must be bona fide residents of the city for which they are appointed. One of the commissioners shall serve until the first Tuesday of 1896, one until 1897, and one until 1898, and the terms of their successors shall be for three years. Any commission er, except the Mayor, shall be subject to removal. Appointments or removals cannot be made by the commissioners for political reasons, but for fitness or unfitness of person. The commissioners shall give a bond of 85,000 each, and shall be paid not more than 8500 a year each. The patrolmen and officers of the police force shall be divided equally between the two leadparties, and not more than one 'patrolman for each 81,000 inhabitants shall be appointed. The pay of a superintendent shall not be less than 8800, or more than 81,200 of a captain not less than 8700, or more than 8900 and of a patrolman, not less than 8550, or more than 8720 a year. The circuit judge shall fill all vacancies on the board of commissioners. The clerk of the board shall be paid not more than 850 a year. The law abolishes the office of city marshal, and requires his duties to be performed by the Metropolitan police, who are prohibited from receiving any fees. All rewards must go into the city's funds. Any interference with the Metropolitan police officer makes liable a fine of not less than 8100 and not more than 81,000, to which may be added imprisonment of ten to ninety days. Members of the Metropolitan police department are prohibited from taking part in politics, under a penalty of dismissal from the force and a fine of 810 to 850.

I A BREAD WAR.

The Latest Fad Hag Struck Crawford sville With the Rude, Dynamic Force of a Kailroad Uuu.

The latest fad in this nation of fads is "a bread war" and Crawfordsville has just plunged into the throes of such a conflict with a reckless enthusiasm which threatens to breed a city of snapping, snarling dyspeptics.

Tillie Albright in the rashness incident to youth started this mighty conflict, and it has grown faster than any of Tillie's loaves ever grew under the inspiration of yeast. Tillie, in an evil hour, offered two leaves of bread for a nickel, and when his rival, Mr. Hearn, received the news he sweetened the pot and raised, offering two for a nickel aud twelve for a quarter. Demas Gilbert heard of the raise, and believing he held a royal flush, offered two loaves for a nickle, five for a dime, twelve for a quarter and fifty-two for a dollar. Zeigler & Reiman passed and are waiting for the next deal. They state that of they come in they will drive Demas and all the rest clear off the earth.

The war is raging fiercely and no one knows what the end will be. In a Michigan town the war was carried to such an extent that bread was made so cheap that every one quit baking and bought. Then the bakers found to their surprise that they made more money selling two loaves for five cents than they formerly made selling at twice the price.

Certificate of graduation will be issued to every applicant who attains a general average of 75, without falling below 60 in any subject.

Questions for examinations for Primary License will be issued for the last Saturday of March, April and May respectively.

Examinations for Professional and Life State Licenses will be conducted by the County Superintendents in the months of March and April.

Subjects for March: Algebra, Civil Government, American Literature, Science of Education, and two of the following three subjects—Elements of Physics, Elements of Botany, and Latin (Latin Grammar, two books of Ciusar, and two of Virgil.)

Subjects for April: Geometry, Rhetoric, General History, English Literature, Physical Geography, and two of the following three subjects—Chemistry, Geology, and Zoology.

At the October meeting the State Board decided to abolish the February examination in connection with the Life State License.

The following requirements govern the application for Professional and Life State Licenses: 1. Applicants for Life State License must have taught school forty-eight months, of which sixteen shall have been in Indiana. Before entering upon the examination, they shall present to the County Superintendent satisfactory evidence of good moral character and professional ability, and pay five dollars each (the fee prescribed by law), which can in no case be refunded. 2. To be eligible to Professional License the applicant must have held and taught thereon, two thirty-six month licenses, covering a period of not less than five years immediately preceeding the examination. 3. Applicants for Professional License will take the March examination only. 4. No fee is required of applicants for Professional License. 5.

I. M. C. A. CONFERENCE.

To be Held Here Next Month—A District Meeting, February 15-17.

State Secretary Stacy of the Y. M. C. A. was in the city Tuesday conferring with the officers of the two local Associations with reference to a district conference here next month. The con ference will be held on Feb. 15, 16 and 17, and will be an important gathering of Y. M. C. A. workers and officials. There are ten Associations—city, railroad and college—in this district, and several that are properly in other districts will be invited to send representatives. Some of the leading Y. M. C. A. men of the State will be in attendance and the meeting is expected to be one of much profit. The district conference will be in a smaller way what the annual State convention is in a larger way, and the Wabash and Crawfordsville Associations are to be congratulated on having secured it for this place. The delegates should, and doubtless will, receive a warm and hospitable welcome from our citizens. The coming meeting will be the first held here since the State convention of 1887, which was followed by the organization of the present city Association here. THE JOURNAL will publish further announcements regarding the conference within the next few days.

Dunbar-Caldwell Nuptials.

Thursday evening, Jan. 24, 1895, at the beautiful and attractive residence of Miss Mollie Caldwell, at Colfax, in the presence of many invited friends and relatives, was the day set apart for the nuptals, which bound in the realms of matrimony the hopes and fortunes of Miss Mollie Caldwell to Robert Dunbar.

At about 6 o'clock the friends a.nd relatives began gathering, and as the clock reached the stroke of 8, Elder Moore led the bridal party from the parlor to a floral arch prepared for the occasion, under which he performed a very beautiful and impressive ceremony. The bride was attired in a cream white gathered by white satin ribbon, while the groom appeared in full dress conventional black. After the ceremony the happy couple received the congratulations of the guests with which was tendered many beautiful and costly presents. After the ceremony accompanying the gifts, the happy couple led the way to the dining-hall, where the party was treated to a delightful repast, served in course. Gilbert Rakestraw, Goldie Boots, Martin Dukes and Ona Boyd performed the rites of honor in the dining-room in a most brilliant manner. Not until a late hour did the party break away from a scene of enjoyment, leaving the happy couple in their beautiful home with the best wishes of a host of friends. X.

INGERSOLL COKNKlt.

Much grain is being hauled to the market. A birthday surprise was successfully executed on O. M. Livengood Tuesday.

Austin Wert and Louis D. Moore are clearing some land for John H. Wert. A protracted meeting is in progress at Wallace, under the direction of Rev. O. E. Kelley.

Alonzo Ingersoll has purchased a picket-saw and will soon be prepared to do custom sawing.

Alva Hesler and family and Lon Ingersoll and family were in Crawfordsville last Wednesday.

Nathaniel and Israel Moore, former residents of this place, now at Farmer's Institute, visited here last week.

The farmers owning the corn-husk-ing machine met at the school house on Saturday night and settled up for last year's work.

Would it not be a good idea and one bringing beneficial results for THE JOURNAL correspondents to consider themselves a debating society, and debate leading questions, non-political, in a friendly manner? What say ye, scribes and editors?

We are not personally acquainted with the Ridge Farm correspondent, but it seems that "we are one" on the woman suffrage question. A man is never alone when on the right side of a question. We know that many are opposed to woman suffrage, but we are liberal enough to grant all people their views so long as they are consistent with reason and right. We believe in the interchanging of ideas on all questions growing in public opinion. We believe in asking information when needed We would like for some one to tell where in the constitution of the United States that women are denied suffrage. We in our weakness" can not locate any thing that wrestles this just right from them. Are women citizens? Read amendment XIV of U. S. constitution.

We have not space to fully answer the questions asked by the Ridge Farm correspondent but we will give brief answers. Question 1—Because rum rules the world and the election and it is careful that it places those favoring woman-slavery in office, as when worn en vote, rum power dies. Question 2— Because the rum power and 'just as good as you" temperance men want to keep virtue under the heel. It is finance and not morals, boodle and not purity, victory and not virtue. Has it not been equivolently declared: For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and loose his own soul? Question 3—No! Not always. They are above in religion, education and morals. The real estate and religion both are too often in the wife's name. More women worship the true and liv ing God than men. But more men make a god of rum than women. Which should vote. Question 4—For the same reason the negroes did not vote previ' ous to their freedom. Slavery—The slaves to-day are not slaves on account of color but sex. Our white sisters are deprived of their just rights, partly as the dusky descendants of the dark continent were. Oh, how sad, but true
