Knocked Out.
Judge Harney last Friday knocked out of court on demurrer the cases of all those doctors who sued Fountain county for holding autopsy on the remains of Clara Shanks, the victim of the Wolf Creek Falls tragedy. It seems that the coroner failed to certify 'their claims to the commissioners.
Family Kntertalnment.
Sunday the home of Frank Birchtield was the scene of a happy family gathering preparatory to a regretful family separation. Mr. Birchfield's son, Frrnk, is preparing to remove to Blooiniugton and his son-in-law, Alonao Wrightsman, to Elkhart with his family. Accordingly a family reunion was held, being participated in by Mr. Birchfield's second son-in-law, Will Haas, of Waynetown, who was here -with his family. The day was most happily spent.
The Indiana Wliont Crop.
Chief Thompson, of the Indiana Bureau of Statistics, has received letters from 593 townships out of the 1,01(5 in the State, showing the condition of the wheat crop. On March 20 he wrote to all the township assessors in the
Stute, asking an estimate of the acreage of wheat sown last fall, as compared with the year before, and also an estimate of its present condition, compared with an average at this time of the year, allowing 100 to represent an average. Every county in the State bnt one is represented in the reports received. It is shown that the average in the northern division of the State is 90.(i per cent, as compared with last year, and 83.8 per cent, in condition as compared with an average. In the central division the acreage is report at 90.9, and condition at 70.4, while the southern division is shown to be S9.8 per cent, of acreage and 64.7 per cent, of condition, an average for the State of 90.4 in acreage and 74 9 of condition.
The drought last fall is assigned as the principal cause for the damaged condition in many places. This drought retarded the growth of the wheat plant, forcing it to endure the winter while in this bad condition. The alternate freezing and thawing which marked-the month of March was quite injurious where the crop was not protected by the snow.
1
The man who made the report for Montgomery county is evidently pessimistic. He reports a per cent, of 80 5 acreage as compared with last year and a prospect of only 60.5 of an average crop. The reports received from over the county by the JOURNAL indicate a much better prospect than that.

FIRE IN A MUSEUM.
Lively Time Among Freaks and a Chicago Audience,
CHICAGO, April 0.—A lire which boro ft very tliro:neniii£j aspect for a time and created a panic broke out yesterday afternoon in a Clark street dime museum. It being Easter, the two small theaters in the building wore entertaining nudicnccs of moro than the usual portions, at least 1,000 persons, who occupied ovory available space, being present. Tho audicuco at once made rush for the doors, and for a time pandemonium reigned.' The stage manager, Charles Boll, took a commanding position and urged the people not to looso their heads, and to his coolness and selfpossession is due the fact that the patrons finally escaped without injury.
Tho wildest confusion, however, prevailed among the freaks and stage performers, but all escaped without injury, aiany of the actors running into the streets in their stage attire. Probably the greatest excitement attending tho fire was caused by an incident that happened on the third floor, where a collection of huye snakes were on exhibition. Among this collection was a boa constrictor 20 feet in length. A female snake charmer had charge of tho reptiles and when tho lire broke out she attempted to place them in a box. Calling for assistance, a stranger climbed into tho cage and offered to help capture the snakes. He picked the largest ono up by tho neck and no sooner had ho done so than the snake, recognizing it was in the hands of a stranger, coiled its lingo form about the man's arm. The snake charmer realizing the man's danger, told him to keep a firm grip on the snakes neck. A terrific struggle then ensued, but by the combine efforts of the fair snake charmer and the obliging stranger, the boa constrictor was finally jammed into a box and secured. Tho remainder of the snakes were easily rcscued.
