On Tuesday morning there was an interesting evanti at Knoxvillo in the 158th Indiana regiment. Colonel Hairy H- Smith drew bin men up in line and stated to them that he wished an expresBto'u from his men as to tht advisability of continuing in the service. He asked that all who wished to be mustered out at the earliest practicable moment should step out of ranks. The response was au overwhelming one in favor of the retirement from the service, only a few over a hundred of the ruen remaining in line

In Company there was a %trbng sentiment ia favor of retiring from the service. When the call to step out came all the company with the exception of five men stepped out so speedily that it made the otlicers' heads swim. The live men who voted to stay in the service are said to be much in love with army life and have expressed a determination to enlist in the regular army service.

Virtue Has its Owu Reward. On last Sunday sergeant Bob Spratt, of Company M, concluded to go to church to put up praises for his safe arrival in so goodly and godly a town as Knoxville. He went to the leading Methodist church of the town, a very fine one, and upon the conclusion of the service he met in the person of the minister's wife his former teacher in the Crawfordsville high school. Her name then was Miss Allie McMahon but. she now has the classic name of Jones. She took Bob in out of the wet and the following day had three of her former pupils, Spratt, Paul Cox, and Harry Taylor to dinner. Later they were invited to the joys and microbes of a watermelon party and have been living in clover ever since. If it hadn't been for the religious turn of

Deacon Spratt the boys would never have known thai their dear old teacher was in the town. Virtue has its own reward.

11 Goe» No More.

In the past Manager Townsley, of Music Hall, has been much annoyed by the fact that when the galley tickets for repertoire shows playing at popular prices has been placed on sale certain young men of a speculative turn of mind would rush and tear their way to the front and purchase from thirty to forty ticket?. As the supply is limited they have always been able to retail these tickets, which they have nurchased for 10 cents each, for 20 cents, 25 cents and sometimes 30 or 40, cents. There has been decided objections raised to this practice, so Manager Townsley announced that hereafter no one party will be allowed to buy over ten tickets in the gallery and all parties will bo obliged to line up and await their turn for a place at the box otliee. The old method of a free fight for ft place will no longer.be tolerated.

The cheap railroad rates and the e'aboiate e'ltertainmont which the people of Cincinnati have tendered the members of thn Grand Army of the Republic and kindred organizations on the r.ccasion of the thirty-second national encampment, will not bo contiaed exclusively to them. The. rates and the entertainment are available as well to the citizen who ia in no way identified with any of the organization

The Cincinnati committee intends making the week of September 5-10th a strictly gala aiVair, aud everybody is invited to come in and participate in tho festivities. The committee has gone about its preparations on au unlimited scale, and it wants the participation to be on the sumo scale. Everybody who is in a position to judge expresses the belief that there will never be another such encampment at- that soon to be held in Cincinnati, and to be present and witness the remarkable scenes that are certain to occur will bo the opportunity of a life time. The great sentimental feature of every encampment is the parade of the veterans. For several years past it has been customary to predict that the approaching parade of veterans will be the last large one. The Dredietion this year is undoubtedly well founded. Tho central location of Cincinnati, within a night's ride of any point in a territory probably the most thickly settled with Grand Army men, insures an unusual turnout of tho veterans. Many others will come to see President Mcivinley. For these, and other reasons, the coming encampment will be an historical event.

The military camp which is being prepared for the entertainment of those veterans who prefer life in the open air, to being crowded in i-ehool buildings during the week of the encampment will be known as Camp ShermiiD. As an indication of its size the chairman of the committee on Camp Sherman has found tlmt 200,000 feet of lumber will be required to put 11 ,ors in all the tents in the camp, A force of fifty workman, all old soldiers, is BOW engaged laying out the camp, building streets, laying water mains, putting up electric light wires, and arranging tho necessary, sanitary regulatioi,s. The camp is being prepared by Mej. M. D. Burke, an old army clHcer, and an engineer of more than local reputation. The camp will be open for inspection September 1st, and ready for occupancy September 4th. It will bo formally dedicated at 9 o'clock Monday morning, September "ith.

PART FIRST

NEW BILL IN PROSPECT.

I'MM files lor Substitution of County .ludgo lor Hoaid ol Com ID ISMLMIE

EN.

It is clnimed a bill will come before the next legislature of Indiana to do away with the board of county commissioners and substitute a county judge. It is proposed that this judge be either elected or appoiuted by tho governor and this judge shall perform all the duties that now devolvo upon the commissioners. It is said for him that ho must be a lawyer, as his court is intended for a tribunal for the determination and settling of many questions that require legal knowledge and udgment. It is not intended that tho county judgo shall perform the duties of tho board of couuty commissioners, but that his jurisdiction be increased to embrace a large amount of business that now comes into the hands of the judges of the circuit and superior courts. Ditch aud drainage business would form an important branch of the county judge's duties. Under the present law tho ditch proceedings may be instituted in eithor tho circuit or commissioners'court, though the usual course is by way of the latter tribunal.

When tho commissioners decide a ditch question it may always be appealed to the circuit court. This is so frequently done that there is always a great deal of ditch business in that court. Liquor licenses are granted by the county commissioners, and often a hearing of the application and tho evidence for tho applicant and romonstrators produces such a lawsuit that a legal head is almost a necessity in order to carry it through. County commissioners now purchase all supplies for every part of tho county government aud this would have to be done by the county judgo. He would also havo jurisdiction in probate matters and divorce cases and make the appointment of administrators, and in this way take considerable burden oil tho circuit court.

A Kunit 1 injitmtor.

Col. Hargitt, the whiskey soaked ruin who from time immemorial has been holding up printers for the drinks, has by some hook or crook, undoubted! the latter, succeeded in breaking into tho home for broken )wn printers at Colorado Springs. Ho should be properly bounced. The fact that he begged booze money from printers all his wretched life certainly should not entitle him to a soft place in a printers' home after he has become too decrepit to rush the growler on funds obtained by his pestiferous mendicancy.
