THE DOCTOR'S DOUGH.

Kudo ISitr^istrs Muter the Kesiilenee of ]r. 10. 19. 'o\vau mil Abstract Therelrotu Ills I'aulatooiis.

Last Tuesday Homer Hills arose up with the lark and while the latter was singing at Heaven's pate Ilomer was cleaning up his back yard. He looked out in tiie alley and was surprised to lirid there a pair of pantaloons. He picked them up and from a paper therein he inferred that they belonged to I)r. E. H. Cowan, who lived about two blocks south on Washington street. He thought he would just take them to the Doctor and seo how it was that they chanced to be so far from home without a chaperon. It was just after 0 o'clock when Homer rang the Doctor's front door bell and it was some minutes before the Doctor appeared rubbing his eyes. lie rubbed them a good deal harder when Homer showed him the pantaloons and asked it they were his. With an exclamation of surprised horror and dismay he turned and rushed back upstairs, leaving Mr. Hills at the door still holding the pantaloons. Soon the Doctor came back, however, and stated that the garment was his. It had been taken from his bedside by a burglar bold, who had then decamped without dis turbing anything else. An entrance had been effected by raisiDg the dining room window. The burglar left no clue and the family has no idea what time the crime was committed, as their tirbt knowledge of its having occurred was when Mr. Hills esmii.

The burglar found about live dollars in tin pockets and this sum he took for his trouble, as burglars usually do.

The report that he also cabbaged the bonds for the new Willson school is a fake. The bonds are safe and the school house will be built.

»«rasjeil I5y Master Charley »loues 1 ueh to 111* Personal lisco:nlit urr.

Charley .1 ones, the twelve-year-old f-on of Frank .loncs, had an experience last Tuesday which hu will doubtless remember during the rest of his natural life. Charley in company with his fourteen-year-old broi.her Jesse was monkeying around the ruins of the Champion photograph gallery and in the course of their sportive gambols went out on the balcony which runs along the north side of the building. Master Charley chanced to notice an English sparrow sitting all rutlled up and evidently asleep on an insulator of one of the electric light wires which run under the balcony from the poles. The bird had its back to him and he in the gladsome innocency of happy childhood concluded to slip up on his birdship and 6wipe him. He tiptoed up, kneeled down on the balcony's floor, grasped one of the iron rails of the fence guard in one hand and reached through the rails to grasp the unsut-pecting bird. To reach the bird his hand had to pass about six inches over the electric light wires, or rather over an unprotected wire which was connected with the electric wires and used to hold them in position. When

Charley's hand passed over this it was drawn, down upon it with a slam by the electric current which was chas-

fence railing- with the other hand the current began rushing through his body and he was unable to let go with either hand. The live wire began to burn his flesh and Charley began to yell with all his lung power, while hi* brother pranced wildly about on the balcony and helped to yell. Just then Treasurer Nicholson chanced to step out of his office across the street and at once appreciated tins situatio'n. He clearly saw the boy would be dead before he could reach him so he called to the brother of the sufferer to break Charley's hand loose from the balcony rail. This was done and Charley was then able to let the live wire loose. Beyond a terribly shocked system and a fearfully burned hand he was none the worse for his unpleasant experience. In the excitement the bird which caused all the trouble got away.

MORE BURGLARS.

The Ulclntyre Family North of the City Have Distasteful Nocturnal Visitors.

Ira Mclntyre, the son of the late John Mclntyre, lives with his mother north of the city on the Wm. Vanarsdal farm. On Wednesday when the family arose at 4 o'clock it' was ascertained that burglars had visited the residence during the night and had stolen everything in sight. Two pocketbooks containing in all about S12, and a quantity of jewelry were gone. Tracks outside showed that the burglars had come from toward town in a buggy and had gone -back the same way. The police were notified and several suspicious characters were jailed. Upon none of them, however, was any of the missing property found. I

About 1 o'clock the family of Maurice Lee, this si-'e of the Vanarsdal farm, was aroused by an unusual commotion by the (lops. It is thought that the burglars had intended to rob Mr. Lee's place but being driven off by the dogs went further on.

Now Law on Calebing Fish,

In as much as it is time '"to go fishin'," it may be profitaole for the knights of the rod to carefully read the new law. The law, after setting forth how a man must not fish, by the means of seines, nets, dynamite, poisons, traps or spears, says that it shall ba unlawful "to take, catch, kill or destroy at,y fish in any manner whatever, except with hook and line, which line shall be held in the hand, or attached to a pole or rod which shall be heli in the hand, and no line shall be used which shall have more than three hooks attached thereto." The law makes an exception of catching minhows, for which a net of not more than twelve feet long, three feet wide, and not less that three-eighths inch meshes shall be used. The laws do not apply to the Ohio river, Lake Michigan or private ponds. The law does not refer to the sale of fish in any way.

Under the new law it is illegal to stick your pole in the bank. You must hold it in your hand. Neither can you fish with two poles as heretofore.

The father Oilmen Commandery of the Knights of St. John are preparing to give Crawfordsville an event of sonic moment this summer, the affair being nothing less than an encampment to be held here July I and 5.

The national encampment of the order was to have been liel-.l this year at Erie, Penn., that city having asked for it. Erie, however, sent out word not long ago that she could not offer prizes for competitive drills and could not pay for entertainment. This caused most of the commanderies which had perfected arrangements for attending to abandon all such plans. The Crawfordsville encampment will be in a measure a recompense for the loss of the good teams expected at Erie. Sunday, July I is the day set for the district mooting of the 1C. of St. J. in Crawfordsville and it has been determined to make it the day following the occasion for a reunion of the whole regiment. Besides the Knights of St.

John, the seyeral commanderies of the Catholic Knights of America and the numerous Catholic Zouave companies over the State will bo invited. These are all expected to come and many of the visiting delegations will bring ladies. The K. of St. J. commanderies at Evansville, Logansport, Indianapolis and Shelby villo are already co-oper-ating with the local commandery to make the event a great success. The fair grounds will be obtained for the occasion and on Monday afternoon prize drill open to the Knights of St. John, the Catholic Knights of America aud the Zouave companies will take place. On Monday morning will occur the military parade which promises to be the most elegant event of the kind ever witnessed in Crawfordsville. At night there will bo a display of fire works at thu fair grounds. The idea has quietly been circulated over the State and is everywhere trfken hold of with the greatest enthusiasm.
