A GHllISTMAS GIFT.
The K«v Bfonon Depot Will Be—The Plan* Arrived Wednesday and Work Will Begin.
The much prayed for and many tildes promised new Monon depot will at last be a reality. Plans for the new structure were received Wednesday and have been approved by the local agent, L.A. Clark. The new building will be 27x173 feet and will front just west of where the freight tracks in the house now lie and will be 'supplied With all the modern conveniences necessary to the comforts of the traveling public. It will be supplied with the road's own water works and will be lighted with electricity. The exterior of the building will be composed of pressed brick and stone while the interior will be finished in native pine varnished. The rooms will be divided up as follows: Ladies' waiting* room, 17^x25 feet office room, 14x22% feet, with large square bay window to the front baggage room, 10x25 feet, and a freight room about 120 feet in length. The building will be entirely surrounded by a platform which will be 16 feet in front and will extend 400 feet in length, while th^ freight platform on the west, north of the passenger de partment will extend the full length and 32 feet north of the north end. There will be two house tracks on the west side of the freight house and two team tracks west of these. Men are •ow^bt work widening the fill to make room for two tracks, one of which will extend from Market street north to a point 50 feet north of the north end of the presetrtFfcimile track^1 water service of the station will have connection with the main sewer, thus affording all usual conveniences. The work will begin at once and the Monon officials hope to have the new depot eompleted by the middle or latter part of December through the active labors of a large force of their own men. To
Agent Clark is due credit for his eontinned efforts to secure the new sta tion which, when completed promises to be as beautiful and commodious as any along the Monon line and it' will certainly be not only a credit to the old eye-sore fire trap, but a credit to the road and the city as well. We will cheerfully accept it as a Christmas gift and feel doubly content that it is a gift of worth. Hail to the enterprise.

During the performance of the ceremony the eouple stood under a magnificently arranged swinging vine, and against a bank of flowers of variegated hues, whieh presented a picture impressive and beautiful. At the eonelustojit of the ceremony the guests were oonducted to the dining room where one of those magnificent suppers, whieh would delight the heart of a King, was in waiting.

A Letter Which Relate* ths Enterprise of a Crawlordiville Citizen.
A. J. Hall, the Bpecial correspondent of the Little Rock, Ark., Citizen, writes from Jonesboro the following letter, which has peculiar interest here:
JOKBSBOBO, Ark., Sept. 17.—At this flourishing town is located one of the most extensive plants of its kind in the State, H. Alfrey, proprietor, manufactory of tight barrels and circular headings. The output of the factory is 4,000 bushels per day. In connection with the stave mill is a large and thoroughly equipped dry house, capacity 200,000 matched pieces of heading. The plant, when completed, will give employment too 100 men and boys, average wages paid $1.50 per day. This is the only factory in the State, 1 believe which manufactures barrel headings only. Mr. Alfrey is one of the oldest manufacturers in the country. At Popular Bluff, Mo., one of the best mills in the United States, owned by bim. He was formerly engaged in the stave bu&iness at Crawfordsville, Ind. The products of this mill find a ready market all over the country from Maine to Oregon. Mr. Alfrey has a large amount of timber lauds for slile to actual settlers on long time and exceedingly liberal terms. These lands are first-class for all agricultural purposes and will produce good crops of wheat, cotton, corn and tame grass. The timber has been partly cleared. To give some' idea of what this factory will do I quote, from actual figures. The sum paid for heading bolts -alone* will amount to 971,000 per year. This vast sum of money is paid out right at home and makes a market for timber that would be practically valueless without this mill. I hope to see the day when one of the largest industries in the State shall receive the protection which is justly due it. If anyone is being benefitted by taking, the tariff off from lumber and timber it is not the laborer who does the work, nor the mill men, who to-day are getting at least 82.00 per 1,000 feet less for their products than they received in 1893i. Qur
Senators could vote to protect the. sugar of Louisiana, the coal andiron of Alabama, and the granite of West Virginiaf but could not pay any attention to protecting their own State in its greatest industry, and so we find them standing up and voting with the Senators from the prairie States, who, of course, wanted lumber as cheap as possible, regardless of the interest of the men engaged in manufacturing it But I think the object lessons of the past two fears will not be in vain.

Percetval Coflln Not Guilty la the Verdict of the Jury In the Bank Case.
Special to The Journal INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3.—In the Indianapolis National Bank case against Francis and Percival Coffin for
IMPROVEMENTS WASTED.
The Grand Jury Desires Some Done at the Orphans' Home and the Poor Farm.
One of the duties of the grand jury laid down by the statutes is tbe examination of all county buildings and institutions and making a report thereof to the county commissioners. Heretofore, it seems, this duty has been performed in a perfunctory manner and the reports filed away unread. But the grand jury which jnst adjourned looked at the matter in a dif-ferent-light. They made a thorough examination and emphasized the fact that they wanted the commissioners to act on their suggestions. Two things in particular they mentioned. The cement floor at the* Orphans' Home is badly worn so that it cannot be scrubbed and kept clean. Thisunsanl tary condition is bad for the little orphans. At the poor farm the toilet rooms for both the men and women are in a very filthy condition and. there seems to be little .or very imperfect drainage. These things the' grand jury very properly think ought to be remedied. A big lot of indictments were found which will find the light of day in good time. The members of the grand jury are J. S. Kelly, Peter Fudge, John Hopper, Eli Armantrout, Jesse P. Smith and John Shafer.

Thanks to the economy of the late Republican legislature and a let of honest officials the government of Indiana is having a period of sunshine and prosperity^ a financial way. Tha fiscal year in the State's buste$& affairs l* lrawinjr to a close, tho&Aftt being Oct. 31. About the State h'ouib 1 the columns of figures on the* books are growing lohg, and when the elerkg have made the additions and subtractions. what the officers regard aava most satisfactory showing will be made. In all departmehts of the government, and in the administration of outside business affairs, as well all the care of all State institutions and property, there has been no going beyond the appropriations, and some departments have not used all the ftmde placed at their disposal:

It requires, ordinarily, about SM*8,» 000 to carry on the government •affairs of Indiana for a year. This pays every item of expense! There are a few extra appropriations whieh kill swell this sum, thia year and nest. The Soldiers' Homo at Lafayette ia one of the State's new undertakings and it e«Ua .for 975,000, which will be used {a im and '97.
