WAR ON CIGARETTES.

I'p to Date Illinois ('otiyrrssnuin Will Kmleuvor to Secure Le^islnt ion.

Congressman Woodman, of Chicago, is making a hard fight against the cigarette industry.

He intends, if possible, to bring enough pressure to bear on the Ways and Means committee to secure the incorporation of his bill in the new tariff measure which will be introduced in the extra session of the next Congress. It provides, his bill does, for a tax on cigarettes of S50 a thousand. When asked his reason for making the tax so high, he replie 1: "It's the only way to stamp out the evil the cigarette jes among the youth of the land. Local laws do no good. The thing to do ie io pass my bill, which will inerea? the price of cigarettes to 85 a hundred, in addition to the cost and profit to the manufacturer. This would put cigarettes beyond the wealth of the small boy. who can now get a package of cigarettes with a nickel, which he can borrow from o.nyone. "But he couldn't borrow 50 cents or get it from his parents so often as he now buys cigaretts without being cross-questioned, and that would discover his secret. "You can pass all the laws you want prohibiting their sale to small boys. But so long as the price remains in their reach they will be able to get them. Since I introduced my bill I have had letters from all parts of the country, thanking me for it, and I have strong hopes of getting the Ways and Means committee to incorporate it in their tariff bill."

A Hap at the llioyele.

Judge Berks, of Backs c&unty, Pennsylvania, gives a decision in a bicycle suit to the efiect that "the bicycle is a promotor to crime." In this decision be said "at least one-third of the business of the criminal court was made up by persons led astray by some connection with the wheel." One of the witnesses in the case, who is a grocer, said he could "sit at hi$front window and count dozens of persons riding merrily along who owed him grocery bills."

As to persons being "led astray by some connection with the wheel" there are unjudicial minds which might be found ingenious enough to suggest that these persons might have been led astray without any connection with the wheel whatever. And as to persons riding the bicycle who owe the grocer bills, if that individual were more observant he might discover persons walking "merrily along" who also owe him grocery bills.

(,'oiumitted to the Orphans' Home.

Last Saturday proceedings were held before Justices W. S. Hanna and S. A3 Stilwell, at the office of the latter, to committ to the Orphans Home three young children by the name of Brown. These children live with their stepgrandfather, Jim Williams, in the old Divine property on west Pike 6treet. Their lives have been subject to privation and exposure and their condition is said by those making complaint to be truly pitiable. After hearing the evidence of these witnesses the commitment to the home was made. Several of the persons most assiduous in stirring up the caso failed to appear at its trial.

Officers Elected.

DeBayard Lodge No. 39, Knights of Pythias, last week elected the following officers:

C. C.—Jere West. V.-C.—C. W. Buck. Prelate—J. T. Prewitt. M. of. W.—M. B. Binford. K. of 11. andS.—Chas. H. Marshall. I»l. of F.—W. W. Morgan. M. of. E—W. L. Lee. M. at A.—M. V. Wert. I. G.—R. M. McMakin. O. G.—M. S. Smith. Trustee—J. N. Taylor.

JJeat li of Mary McCarlj-,

At 8 o'clock last Saturday Miss Mary McCarty, aged 29 years, died of consumption at the home of Ella Buckley on the corner of North and Walnut streets.

Miss McCarty had been sick for about two years. She was the daughter of John McCarty, of this city, and was a very estimable young lady. The funeral occurred from St. Bernard's church on Monday. .v

The Judges Cannot be Reached.

Springfield, Mass., Republican: A good joke on Dr. Lyman Abbott, of Brooklyn, comes from Wabash College, in Indiana. The winner of a recent oratorical contest has been fouijd to have plagiarized one of Dr. Abbott's sermons. But he won on delivery, the able judges having marked him down on composition and thought. He is to be expelled, but the judges are beyond reach of discipline.

NO SENATOR FOR HIM.

(•overnor Mount Propose* In Serve Out 1Tis Term us (•overuor—He Favors tteforimnu Township (*ovenmtent,

Governor-elect .lames A Mount catnc in from his farm Friday on a few business matters and returned in the afternoon. Lie went to Indianapolis on Tuesday, taking his wife and daughter with him. Mr. Mount had not heard of the report circulated by an Indianapolis paper that he expected to resign at the end of two years and run for United States Senator. Such an intention, he declared was farthest from his mind. '"The people have elected me Governor for four years and I expect to serve out my terra and then retire from politics and spend the rest of my days on my farm. 1 look forward to that time even now with more pleasurable anticipations than I do the next four years at Indianapolis." "Quite a number of the' members of the Legislature have consulted me about proposed laws. Of course I do not know exactly what will be done, but I feel sure that an effective antitrust law will be enacted. I shall also recommend that the laws relating to township trustees, county superintendents and road supervisors be reformed. There is a great deal of public monev squandered and stolen through these three channels."

REORGANIZED.

TheJtaUlwiu l.adies* Quartette Will I5esinne Their Practice and Will ive Entertainments.

The Baldwin Ladies' Quartette has been reorganized and will at once begin practicing on a new programme for the season's entertainments. Most of the selections will be entirely new and the programme will be entirely new and the programme will be by far the best the quartette has as yet presented. The quartette aB reorganized is somewhat changed in its personnel since last year. Mrs. Ben Crane and Miss Edna Dice still remain and Mrs. W. P. Hulet resumes her position. Miss Flora Rostanzer succeeds Mrs. Clarence Stevens, who has removed to Vincennes. As accompanist the Quartette hassecured Mr.Ifrank Reed,an artist of no mean ability. The Quartette is much stronger than ever before and will more than sustain the admirable record of former years. Before its appeurance the Quartette will be carefully drilled by Mr. Edward Meek. Quite a number of towns have written for engagements and it is likely that the initial entertainment will be given in Crawfordsville.

Mate Sunday School Convent ion.

At the annual meeting of the executive board of the State Sunday School Association at Indianapolis last Thursday it was decided to accept the invitation of the Winona Assembly and hold the next convention, at that place. It would be hard to find a more delightful place in the State than the Winona Assembly grounds, and the accommodations would be ample were two such conventions held at one time. The people of Warsaw, almost a mile away with street car connection, will lodge and breakfast any who care to leave the grounds,' or the large new hotel on the grounds, will lodge and board for the entire time, two days and a half, for two dollars. Surely no person interested in Sunday school work can afford to be absent from the Indiana State Sunday School convention June 15, 16 and 17, 1897.

Officers Installed.

On Saturday evening McPherson Post, G. A. R., installed the following corps of officers to serve during the ensuing year:

P. C.—W. T. Fry. S. V. 0?—Ambrose ltemley. J. V. C.—M. V. Wert. Q. M.—J. D. Tracy. O. D.—Jos. McDaniel. Chaplain—B. F. Crabbs. 0. G.—Mart Liter. Q. M. S.—John W. Clemson. S. M.—J. Alfrey. Adjt.—L. A. Foote. 1. G.—J. M. Blankenship. Sentinel Robert Hopkins.

Hun In.

Some weeks ago when the police pulled a house in the north end Charles Largent escaped by running. On Saturday night, however, he put in an appearance on the streets and was gathered in. He was fined Monday in the Mayor's court.

An Arm Hroken.

The 11-year-old daughter of Orlando Lidick( of Brown's Valley, who is visiting the family of Joe Galey, near Oak Hill, broke her arm just below the shoulder Sunday morning by falling down stairs. Dr. Gott was called in and set the arm.

I'AliT PEGGED

THEY WORE DIAMONDS.

Dmle Itui'Kliirs I'se Their (icw-djiivs Foi* IJobliinir Tom l'm-sel's Market, *•. street (Jroeery.

On Saturday night some thief made a good haul of show window goods at Tom Pursers west Market street grocery. Soma time after 10 o'clock the burglars went on the porch of the store and with a diamond cut out quite a largo section of glass from the show window. This section, circular in form, was carefully laid aside and through the hole thus made Mr. Burglar pulled from the display goods as large a quantity of fancy groceries as ho could carry off. The exact loss is not known but quite a large quantity of goods was taken. There seems to be no clew as to the identity of the thief, as none of the suspicious characters in that end of town gn-d about looking liko a section of a crystal maze as a rebult of wearing diamonds. So successful was the robbery, however, that the diamond merchants of the town may expect numerous propositions for sparklers by those wishing to pay for the same in show window goods on the installment plan.

After Dr. Jliekinaii.

Terro Haute Express: Here is a gem from the last Sunday evening sermon of the Rev. W. HL. Hickman, at the First Mi-uiodist church, says the Mail: is miu a few men run our city, that.. ocliool teacher can't be appointed without the consent of a certain political boss. It is said jobs are put through and taxes increased by a ring in order to burden the people that a few may be well paid. "It is said" is an eaBy way to make sweeping charges of thiG kind, which, affect the integrity of public officials, who are Bworn to do their duty, and who have no recourse on those who make such statements as thin. Who is it says that a school teacher can't get an appointment in this city without the consent of a political boss, and who is the boss? Who is it says jobs are put through (and where?) and taxes increased by a ring in order to burden the people that a few may be well paid? Who is it sayB this, and to whom is reference made? If such evils exist in thiB city, they should be remedied, and it is the duty of every citizen who knows this t,o at least make the knowledge public. Has any one said this, or is it one of the reverend gentleman'6 periodical pulpit sensations?

All Important Decision.

Attorney-General Ketcham has rendered an opinion that it is a violation of the insurance law for a company to insert the following in its policies: "It is a part of the consideration of this policy and the basis upon which the rate of premium is fixed, that in the event of IOBS the company shall not be .liable for any amount greater than three-fourths of the actual cash value of the property covered by the policy at the time of such loss, and in case of other insurance, whether policies are concurrent or not, then for only its pro rata proportions of such three-fourthB value."

This is tht clause which has

often

defrauded policy holders out of their rights.

Sad News For Crawfordsville Talent.

Lafayette Herald: About J1 o'clock last Monday night the winnings of the faro bank, Columbia street, were deposited in the safe at Keifer's Globe restaurant. A few minutes later Jay Sheehan, hatlcss and coatless, entered the restaurant and demanded the roll, saying that the dealers had opened up a game and needed the cash. His authority to demand the cash was not questioned and he quickly had the roil in his pocket and disappeared. Since then he has not been seen and the faro bank suspended for a short time last Monday owing to the lack of funds. The roll contained about four hundred dollars.
