PAWNEE BILL.

The Studfeats at l'rineeton Break Up His Wild West Parade.

Pawnee Bill, who with his wild west show visited Orawfordsville last summer, came to grief at Princeton, N. J., Monday. A despatch from that place

sayB:

"Prinoeton students and Pawaee Bill's wild west employes indulged in a pitc£«jd battle to-iday and coatinuous and serious rioting was Drevented only by the presence of men with cool heads, and the action of President Patton, of Princeton university, laier in the day in calling a mass meeting of all the students. "For fifty years it has been au unwritten law of Princeton that no circus parade must pass through the streets. Every show proprietor in making his dates has always left Princeton from the list, for it hBd been a matter of common knowledge that the students would enforce the unwritten law. This morning Pawnee Bill's wild west 'combination violated the traditions and paraded. The result was the fiercest battle Princeton has seen in many years. "When posters were hung np a few days ago announcing the advent of Pawnee Bill, it was at first eonaidered a joke. Finally, when it became known that the management of the show was really in earnest, the town authorities, fearing trouble, advised the circus men not to attempt a parade. This advice was unheeded. "As a result of to-day's fight, one man is unconscious and may die, and a number of students and employes of the show are nursing wounds reeeived in the fray. "That the show would be upset at night seemed a certainty until late this afternoon, when President Patton called a mass mag ting of all the undergraduates and the faculty, and the result of the meeting indieates that ffae show will leave town unmolested, but it will have lost money, for word was passed through the town that mo one was to enter the tent, and the townspeople, who are in sympathy with the Btudents, were a unit in refusing to attend. "When the parade came to the campus a body of 700 students awaited it. The trouble started with the band wagon. Cannon crackers were thrown, and these, exploding under the six horses, made them frantio. The musicians were on top of the wagons. A serious runaway might have resulted had not one of the leaders stumbled and fell, dragging down the other horses with him. The students, meanwhile, kept np a mereileas bombardment with eggs and vegetables. "On the return the parade wheeled into John Lane and the students made a grand rush to head off Jthe procession. Again the employes of the circus were egged. "The eowboys and Indians finally charged the students and* used their whips freely. That was the turning: point of the affair. Stung by the whips and bruised by the riders running into them, the students became ugly and in a moment the missiles that were annoying, but not dangerouB, were replaced by stones and the fight became serious. Revolvers were drawn, but fortunately the owners were wise enough to fire over the heads of thet enemy. Sqpne of Mexican or South American cowboys unslung their bolas and used thejse with great effect, the leaden covered ends being exceedingly effective. The cowboy6 charged the crowd several times and rode down those who could not get out of the way."

Case Compromised.

The slander suit of George Goben vs. John Tomlinson came to trial again in circuit court Tuesday. The suit was tried in the September term and the jury then disagreed The case grew out of alleged statements made by Mr. Tomlinson in connection with the burn ingof the Tomlinson barn, with which the name of Goben was connected in a very unpleasant way. The prosecution on Tuesday put on four witnesesB and at noon came to the defense with an offer to compromise. Mr. Tomlinson was averse to this but finally on the advice of his attorneys gave Goben $25 and the case was dismissed, each side paying its own costs. The jurymen state that Goben had made no case at all from the evidence submitted. Goben sued for $2,500

B. AND L- CASE.

Right of Taxing Oflicers to Kxamine Books of a Building Association for Former Years is Brought in Question —The Record.

An appeal in the case of the Co-oper-ative Building and Loan Association against the county assessor of Jackson county has been filed in the supreme court. The appeal brings in question the right of the taxing officers to examine the books of a buildingiassociation for former years, in order to add to the tax duplicates of persons owning stock the value of such stock as omitted property. The supreme court has held that the books may be examined to discover property omitted from the tax duplicate forjjthe current year, and the Cooperative Association admitted this right.

But it asserted that the taxing officers have no right to go]backi to years when the policy of not taxing building association stock as followed in this state to such an extent that the taxing officers would cancel such btock on the assessment lists of those who returned it for taxation. The circuit court decided that the association must permit its books to be examined for each vear since its organization in 1892, and issued a writ of mandamus to compel it to do so, from which judgment it appealed.

He Fined Will Auntiu.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis News writing from Rensselaer thuB describes Judge Thompson, the man who fined Will Austin for giving his friends champagne on a holiday: "Judge Thompson is one of the rough-and-ready judges of the old Bchool, who likesito go without a collar or necktie, and in his shirt sleeves. He sometimes sits at his desk in his private study at home, it is said, in his bare feet, and he is not what could be called a society man or a dude. But his integrity has never been ques tioned, and his bitterest enemy will say that Judge Thompson is above iorruption."

In speaking of the famous party the correspondent says: "On New Year's day, 1898, Mrs. Austin was out of the city, and Mr. Austin could not entertain his friends at his home, so he kept open house at his office, and had for his guests most of the prominent men of the city, including the mayor, the postmaster and about all the well known men in sight. He served champagne, and -there is no question but that he served a good deal of it."

KILLING THE FISH.

lloported That Law Hrankers are Operating Along Sugar Creek,

Reports come to THK JOURNAL tbat the new fish law iB being ilagrantly violated and that fish are being killed by the thousand along Sugar Creek. Since the new law went into effect pole and line fishermen have been in evidence but little, although in some parts of the county it is said that the people fish just as they always did. Still generally speaking the creek banks have been deserted by the disciples of Walton. The damage is done in another way. Here lately a new method of killing fish was discovered and aB it does not ontail the risk of detection or expense that dynamite does it has proved quite popular. This new agency of fish destruction is known as the lime jug method. A jug is filled with unslacked lime, a pin hole is made in the cork, and the jug sunk in a hole where fish is known to be. The water finally gets through the pin hole in the cork to the lime and very Boon there is a powerful explosion. It does not make the noise that dynamite makes,in fact it is practically noiseless, only a slight disturbance of the water baing noted if the hole is deep, but it slays the fish. Almost immediately after the explosion their dead bodies rise to the top and those of a fitting size are collected by the fisherman. A man who knows whereof he 6peaks informs THK JOUUNAL that certain parties have been engaging in this dastardly practice along sugar Creek and have literally depopulated several fine fishing grounds. There is talk of forming an organization in the town and county for the detection and punishment of the violators of the fish law. If care iB not taken it will not be long until the creek will contain no fish. It is naturally one of the best streams in the west for bass but so lax has been the enforcement of the law that good fishing is rare. If the people who live along the streams will only da their part and keep a careful lookout on the banks they can be of material assistance in enforcing the law.

Sufl'ored in a Cyclone.

B. F. Snyder is in receipt of an interesting letter from his nephews, A. S. and Wm. H. Gilkey, who went from Ripley townBhip some time ago and located in the Indian Territory. The letter sets forth the experiences of the boys in a recent cyclone. The boys were partners in the hardware business, Albert operating a store at Chickasha, and William another at a town forty miles distant. On May 7 a cyclone struck Chickasha and tore the hardware store to pieces. The roof was blown far away and tbe contents of the store badly wrecked. William and a force of men drove to Chickasha and for severaldays assisted in getting things in shape again. Their loss was quite heavy,

The New Poor Law.

The new poor relief law, which has been a puzzle to the state board of charities, and been worrying the township trustees, has been given an opinion by the attorney general. He says: "The county commissioners will continue during 1899 to advance money for the expense of caring for the poor of the several townships as in the past, and a levy will be put on to reimburse the county as heretofore. After this year the money appropriated by the county council in September for this purpose will be used, and the sum used will be repaid by a township levy, as now."

WOMEN WHO NEED MRS. PINKHAM'S AID

Miss LULA EVAKS, of Parkersburg, Iowa, writes of her recovery as follows: DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I had been a constant sufferer for nearly three years. Had inflammation of the womb, leucorrhcea, heart trouble, bearing-down pains, backache, headache, ached all over, and at times could hardly stand on feet. My heart trouble was so bad that some nights

I was compelled to sit up in bed or get up and walk the floor, for it seemed as though I should smother. More than once I hav.e been obliged to have the doctor visit me in the middle of the night. I was also very nervous and fretful. I was utterly discouraged.

One day I thought I would write and see if you could do anything for me. I followed your advice and now I feel like a nejtv woman. All those dreadful troubles I have no more, and I have found Lydia

E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash a sure cure for leucorrhcea. I am very thankful for your good advice' and medicine."

Senator Ueveridge Winn.

Indianapolis Journal: Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, has met Admiral Dewey, and the hero of Manila evidently felt some of the magnetism which was irresistible in this city during the last session of the legislature, for be succumbed to the brilliant young Hoosier statesman, as the preaB dispatches last night show. The western citioB have been clamoring for the presence of the great admiral on his return to this country without much BuccesB, but last night the committee in charge of the Chicago postoffice cornerstone laying received word from Mr. Beveridge in Hong-Kong announcing that the admiral would be at the ceremonies on Chicago day, Oct. 9. The committee had intrusted to Mr. Beveridge, when he left for the Asiatic neighborhood, a special invitation to Dewey.
