Xew Law in Effect.
The new law relating to changes of venue now in effect will make quite a material difference in taking cases out of any court hereafter for trial, where the defendant is charged with murder, Under the old law when a change of venue was asked in a case involving the charge of murder the court had no alternative than to grant the petition »for a change. The law now makes it optional with the court whether or not the change shall be granted. The purpose of the law is to save to the county the heavy expenses always following a change from one to another county.
LaPearl's Had Lion.
Danville, (111.,) Commercial: Charles Watson, a keeper in LaPearl's menagerie, had a close call from being killed while feeding the animals of the circus yesterday afternoon. When he put his hand in thelion's cage one of the large ones pounced upon him and lacerated it badly. Prompt assistance enabled him to get away from the brute's sharp claws.
Mr. and Mrs. .T. H. LaPearl have returned from Chicago, where they went to purchase some .equipments for the circus preparatory to starting on the summer tour.
Soldiers Pass Throng!!.
Wednesday two sections of the third and fourth Wisconsin volunteers passed through the city over the Monon, being enroute home after nine months of soldiering. The soldiers were in srood health and spirits.

OBSERVE THE LAW.
The New Fishing: Law is in (Vert With Some Pretty Still'Penalties.
The new fish law passed by the present legislature is now in force, an emergency clause having been attached. The law is intended to CIOBB the season during May and June, the spawning season, and throwing other restrictions around fishing that will in time, if the law is obeyed, allow the fish to multiply and become as plentiful as they were before the present murderous methods camo in vogue. One provision attaches a penalty for polluting the water sufficiently to kill the fish, Another makes dynamiting a felony punishable with imprisonment for frbm one to three years. Trot line fishing is allowed with a line having not more than fifty hooks. Seining is allowed during July, August and Septembjr, but owners of seises must obtain a license from the fiah commissioners and' the meshes must not be less than two inches. All bass under nine inches, and croppies and black bass under six inches must be returned to the water if caught. The penalties range from 85 to $r0, and trying to catch fish is punishable the same as if the attempt was successful. The owner of a seine must give a $200 bona, which is forfeitable to the state if the seine is used unlawfully,
"True Americans."
The Patriotic Sons of Americx have their Bhoulders ooea more to the wheel and are putting forth evjry effort to make "True Americans" an artistic success. This is a most noble enterprise on the part of our sons and deserves the patronage of every citizen as the proceeds go to help the needy ones of Crawford9viile. An excellent cast of local talent has been secured and has been rehearsing nightly under the direction of Mr. Walter D. Jefferson, of New York Cty, for the past three week. We are told by some who have seen the rehearsals that our young people are acquitting themselves nobly. They have been cast strictly for their efficiency in their parts and their work gives evidence of conscious preparation under a director who is master of dramatic art. The play's a pretty ntory of our war with Spain, interwoveu with the best of comedy. There are eighteeu speaking parts who know their lines thoroughly and will rehearse from now until the date of the performance on the action of the piece. There will be an excellent quartette who will render the vocal music belonging to the play under the direction of Auditor Wm. White. Twenty well drilled soldiers will irticipate, composed of Crawfordsville boys who went to the front, under the commmd ,of Capt. Charles Wilhite. Every detail from the largest to the smallest will be carefullv looked after and we nave every assurance that "True Americans" will be the best amateur performance ever produced in Crawfordsville. The prices are placed at 50, 35 and 25 cents and tickets can be secured at the usual place or of members and friends of the P. O. S. of A. .Still on Mix Trail.
Tom Herron will ask at the next session of the county commissioners' for a license to sell lfquor at Waynetown. He was refused last term and there is a probability that he will be again. Those opposed to the liquor traffic are circulating a second petition and declare that they can easily obtain enough names to encompass the defeat of Herron.
Death of an Infant.
William, the seven-month6-old son of John W. and Lyda Galey.died Wednesday at the home on west Wabash avenue. The interment will be at Russellville this morning.

BUILDING MATERIAL ADVANCES.
Local, Dealers Forced to Advance Prices tii Order to Do llUHiness at a Prolit.
Lumber dealers have been notified of another advance in the price of lumber, effective Wednesday. The advance is 50 cents per 1000 feet or. common lumber and 81 per 1000 feet on all good lumber. This is the third advance since the 1st of January and lumber is from $3 to S5 higher per 1000 feet since the year was ushored in. Lath have advanced from 20 to 25 cents per 1000 and everything that enters into the construction of a house has advanced. Up to this time local doalers had not advanced but to-mor-row prices go up, from 50 cents to SI on all kinds of lumber. This is made necessary in order that they may do business at a profit. The udvance is attributed to a scanty of seasoned timber and the fact that manufacturers are compelled to pay higher prices. They claim that for five years lumber has beea made at practically no profit to them. The advance, it is thought, will be permanent and it may go higher. The man who builds this year will have to pay much higher prices for hiB material than last year.
LEACH TALKS.
tie States That Natural Gas Will He Prolonged By Recent Gag Legislation.
In a recent interview State Natural Gas Inspector Leach said: "The gas situation is by no means reassuring. Of course there will be gas enough in the gas belt for domestic purpose for many years to come, but the time is not far distant when factories will have to depend upon some other fuel. Gas companies in the cities and towns will be compelled to improve their plants by larger pipes if they expect to give their patrons good service in future. I see there is Btill gas enough left to make an explosion now and then. The big explosion at Hartford City a few days ago and the one at Walton Sunday shows this. There has been some legislation this year along gas lines, which, in my judgment, will aid materially in prolonging the life of natural gas." Spring Term of .School for Teucliors and
Country Graduates.
The village and country schools of the county are soon to close for the year. The term is all too short for our young people to get a good education to start the battle of life. Many of the teachers of these schools desire to get a chance to review or make further advance in their studies. Many of the older pupils are anxious to advance further in their studies while they are fresh from their six months' term. The schools of Crawfordsville have more than three months yet to run. Wesoffer for the spring term as good chances as any where for the advanced study of all the common school branches, any of the high school studies and any of the topics for preparation for teaching. A class of teachers is row studying Plato and the social elements with the superintendent. We shall be glad to find place and plenty of work for any teachers or advanced pupils who can spend one, two or three months with us. The tuition is Si 50 per month in the grades and S3.50 in the high school. A term with us will be of incalculable good to any young men or women in the county. The expenses will be as nothing in comparison to the good they will receive. Parents can do their children no greater good than to give them some terms of Bchool in a city high school. Application should be made to W. C. Carr, secretary of the school board, or to the superintendent. G. F. KKNASTON.
