in TliIK City.
Oa Thursday Marshal Brothers received a telephone message from the Cain township horse thief detective as sociation of Fountain county, to boon the lookout for horse thieves who had stolen a mare at Hillsboro Wednesday night. Marshal Brothers had hardly stepped out ou the street before he noticed two strange young fellows in the act of taking some money from Jeff Hamilton. He stepped over to interrogate Hamilton and while he was talking the two fellows made off. He learned from Hamilton that he had just concluded a horse trade with the two young men and that he had secured a
Bwap.
The
police force was put on the trail of the two miscreants and soon landed them behind the bars of the county bastile. The Cain township association was at once notified and Matt Beaver, one of their members, and James Chatt, of near Hillsboro, the owner of the horseflesh, came up on the morning train. Chatt at once identified his mare and said that she was stolen from the pasture late Wednesday. The two thieves were confronted with these facts and told a story that sounded pretty thin. They said that they had swaDped for the mare
Wednesday afternoon,naming
an hour when the owner swore she was in the barn and had not yet been turned out on pasture. The swappers gave their names as T. L. Majors, of Danville, and Floyd Durham, of Terre Haute. They were accompanied by
a
woman who Durham claimed was his wife, although she appeared considerably older than her alleged husband. Neither of the suspected men is over nineteen years of age. The trio were taken to Covington in the afternoon by Mr. Beaver and there is apparently & good chance for the two boys to spend some time in the Jeffersonville'refomratory with an indetermniate sentence of from two to fourteen years.
Chatt, who is a voluble German, is positive that the horse is his and says that it rained down there Wednesday and Thursday he could easily track the thieves for some distance up the road.

AN IMPORTANT RULING-
The Supremo Court Holds That Cities Cannot I HP 11FT Honda In Kxcexg of Total Value of Taxablex.
The supreme court has rendered a decision that affectB materially the school interests of the state. The case at issue is that of H. Wilcox against the city of Bluffton. Wilcox brought action to enjoin the levying and collection of the principal and interest of bonds amounting to 86,500, which the city had sold to extend and improve its system of water works. The contention was that the bonds were invalid because the city was indebted to its constitutional limit of 2 per cent on account of its school indebtedness. The majority of the supreme court held the city to be so indebted and reversed the decision of the circuit court. The supreme court has held that cities organized under the general laws, like the city of Biuffton, are responsible for the indebtedness created by the school trustees and this indebtedness must be considered as an outstanding one under the general laws and mu6t be taken into account in considering the aggregate indebtedness of the municipality. The decision is recognized as one of far reaching effect. In effect the decision is that the school corporation of a town or city cannot issue legal bonds when the issue, taken in connection with the already existing aggregate debt of the school and municipal corporations, swells the amouni to an excess of 2 per cect of the total value of taxables of the town or city. The implied holding of the court is that the aggregate amount of school and municipal debt determines whether a municipality is in debt beyond the constitutional limit of 2 per cent.
This decision will worry a great many holders of school bonds that have been issued by Indiana towns and cities. Many of these bonds are held by Chicago firms, which have been industrious in seeking them and have even encouraged their issuance on the theory that the school and municipal corporations are separate in so far as debt contracting liability is concerned.
Happily Married.
Wednesday night at the home of the bride's parents, five miles northwest of Cravr/ordsville, occurred the marj rid'. of F-ark Nolan and Margaret P. Long, Rev. A. Piunket officiating. "About forty of the nearest relatives and friends were present to witness the ceremony. The bride and groom were the recipients of many handsome presents. The groom is very popular and his many excellent traits commend him to all with whom he may become acquainted. The bride is one of the most handsome and accomplished young ladies in the community. They begin life together under the most auspicious circumstances and their many friends join in wishing them a happy union. May their pathway of life be strewn with flowers of success and happiness.
Death of Elizabeth M.Love,
Elizabeth Love, wife of J. Milton Love, who lives one-half mile east of Orth, died Wednesday morning, June 7, aged seventy-six years and six months. She was the last but one of a large family, Rev. J. W. Shell, of the northwest Indiana conference, her brother being the only one left, and of her family of eight children only two are left.

lloyal Treatment.
L. W. Otto has returned from Kansas City, where he spent last week as a delegate from Indiana tc the national meeting of the Modern Woodmen. Mr. Otto thoroughly enjoyed himself. In addition to the pleasure of acting as representative of a great order he, ith the other delegates, shared in the royal entertainment offered by the enterprising people of Kansas City. Each delegato was furnished every morning with a buttonhole bouquet and two morning newspapers. A page was in attendance on each state delegation. Waitors with refreshments of all kinds passed through the aisles at all times and free carriage rides to any part of the city were' always on tap. All these attentions, and others were bestowed on the delegates without money and without price. And it was the biggest kind of an ad. for Kansas City, worth many times its cost.
Slow Work on the Gottpel Yacht.
A special from Jeffersonville says: "Many letters have been received, asking when the interdenominational gospel yacht will be ready for a cruise, the impression prevailing, in some way, that the vessel is about completed. There has never been a stick of timber nor a nail received here for building the vessel, although Capt. G. E. Benn, who was at the head of the' movement, was located here for some time. Several weeks ago Captain Benn left here with his stenographer, giving out that he was going to build tho boat at Pittsburg. Inquiry at Pittsburg shows that little or no* progress has been made there. The society has a small amount of money deposited to its credit in the First National bank of this city."
Ought to Burn the Stubbie.
Farmers and grain daalcro say the increase of the Hessian fly which is so destructive to wheat, is largely due to the fault of the farmer, who of late years saves 10 much of his straw and does not burn the stubbles in his fields. The fly, it is said, can be nearly obliterated if immediatly after harvaBt the wheat Btubble is burned. Direction is given to cut the wheat high in order to have plenty of stubble to burn. The burning of the stubble will not only kill the insects, but will burn the seeds of the weeds and at the same time the ashes of the stubble will add a needed fertilizer to the ground.
