STOLE AN OVERCOAT.

And Was Under Arrest for the Crime In Less Than Five Minutes.

Newbury K. Foster, a well emicat.eu younir man claiming Bloooiingtori a?' liis home, was arrested Saturday night for stealing an overcoat from one oi the dummies in front of the American clothing store. At about half past six o'clock Rick Uennett who was standing in the stairway leading to Dr. Gonzales1 dental otlice. noticed Newbury examining the overcoat on one of t,h'3 dummies across the street. The fellow acted suspiciously and Benueto called to Sam Cole, who was passing to watch him. They stepped back out of sight and stood in the dark. A minute later lr. Gonzales sta'ted up and was at once seized and told to "watch him." The doctor thought at tirst that he war- the victim of a hold-up, and drawing back his list prepared to die fighting, but just before he let lly to soak Bennett in the solar he was convinced that he was in lhe hands of friends and turned to watch Newbury. The man slipped the coat slyly off the dummy and at once walked up the stairway leading to the live stock insurance ottiees with it. Those watching him crossed over and Otlicer Jones, who came along iust then, was informed of the situation. He went up stairs and Newbury promptly surrendered, admiting his guilt. He was placed in jail without delay. lie claimed that he was an alumnus of the State University and a nephew of the lion. John W. Foster.

From Tom.

When Tom Patterson was elected United States senator his old chum, /.nek Williams, sent him a bottle of wine and''congratulations. Mr. Williams has received the following reply:

DENVKK, Col., Feb. fc, 1901.—/ACK WILLIAMS, Crawfordsville, Ind.—-MY DKARSIR:—Your friend, Elija J. Taylor, presented me with your letter and the bottle of wine of your own make, which you sent me in his care. I was very busy at the time he called, and asked him to call again, but I have not since seen him. Probably I will a little later. I want to thank you, Zack, for your congratulations and the wine. I have tasted it and it is good. Won't you remember me to such of the oldtime friends in Crawfordsville as you meet and that are yet alive. You, like me, are getting along in years now, but I have no doubt but that you continue to be a good citizen and are doing, to the best of your ability, the work that is marked out for you in life.

With sincere best wishes, I am. Truly yours. T. M. PATTERSON.

When Mr. Bonnell Goes In. •John R. Bonnell will assume control of the internal revenue collector's office at Terre Haute November 1. His term as postmaster here does not expire until January 1, but he will resign when he leaves for Terre Haute. Regarding his successor in the postofilce here, there is little to be said at present. It is likely, however, that there-will be several applicants for the place and •that Congressman Landis will make his selection known as soon as possible.

Died From Bright's Disease. A message was received last Tuesday that Robert L. McComas had died in the railroad hospital at Laredo, Texas, of Bright's disease, instead of from in juries received in an accident. He was an engineer on the Mexican National railroad in Mexico. Bob was born and raised in Crawfordsville, and was 29 years of age. His mother, Mrs. Susan E. McComas, now resides on east Market street. No word has been received here as to whether the body will be brought here for interment.

Masonic Temple Association. The Masonic Temple association met last Monday and the situation as to the erection of the proposed temple was carefully canvassed. The committee has in hand a sum suflicient to warrant beginning the work. The temple will be built this season and will be a credit to Crawfordsville and the Masonic fratornity.

To Honor Maurice Thompson. A special from Vincennes says: At a meeting of the city council last night, a resolution was passed authorizing Mayor George E. Greene to purchase and deliver personally a beautiful and costly floral offering for the poet and author, Maurice Thompson, who has made this city famous by his charming novel, "Alice of Old Vincennes."

Broke an Arm.

Mrs. Y. Hall fell on the ice Monday and broke her arm, Dr. Gott being called to reduce the fracture. She is sixty-live years of age and her injury on that account is serious.

1 Sjico'ai ("oi rosiHMuliMH'f.'. v/:v Washington.- Koli. Washington hotels and boarding houses arc already enjoying- a touch of the quad ronnial ina neural ion prosperity. The' numerous local committees of arrangements cliarged with respoiiibiliiy for the. great event, having little else do as ,vct. are issuing hopeful forecasts, and there is .general agreement I that the weather will be more l'avorable. the crowds larger, the processions more imposing and the inaugural ball more gorgeous than ever before, and if the size of the Hour committee appointed for Hie last mentioned event is to he taken as an indication, the most, enthusiastic prophecies concerning its splendor must be accepted ai par. The question is whether, after the lioor coniinitt.ee has ben admitted to the pension ollice building, there will be room for others who may desire to enter. The roster looks, as to lengtii, like a list of vice presidents for an interstate barbecue in the closing days of a national campaign.

There are renewed expressions of regret that lite inauguration is not fixed at a date which gives promise of better weather. The fourth of May would show Washington in her most delightful season, the only question being whether a city of this size could accommodate the crowds that 'would be drawn here for the ceremony at such a time. The inaugural committees, however, point out the only in recent years has tin ture been below the freozim March 4th.

It is expected that ln.000 will participate in the inaugural parade, 4,000 more than took part in the procession four years ago. Only one delegation is booked from Indianathe Culver Cadets from the military academy at Lake Maxinkucicee.

Hon. J. H. Burford. a member of the supreme court in the territory of Oklahoma, was in Washington last week. Judge Burford is one of the large colony of Indiatiians which has contributed so many political leaders to that growing territory, lie hails originally from Crawfordsville. Representative Steele, wiio was the tirst governor of tho territory, is in receipt of an invitation to attend tlie annual reunion of the Hoosier Society of Oklahoma. to he held at tit brie on Washington's birthday. The ofiieers of the organization are W. I?. Ilerod. Mrs. Charles H. Filson, wife of the present land commissioner of the territory, a former resident of Huntington C. 0. Fish, William M. Kngarr, Dick T. Morgan, and lion. Horace Speed, all ex-lndianians who reside at Guthrie. Among those who are on the program are Rev. .V Pa tee and Mrs. J. H. Burford of Guthrie Hon. Freeman E. Miller of Stillwater. Jere Johnson of Newkirk. I. M. Kelsey of Blackwell, Hon. J. F. Todd of Chandler, Captain J. V. Admire of Kingfisher, who speaks on ••Indiana's War Record." and L. M. Keys of Oklahoma City. The following named

Hoosiers will relate "Indiana Reminiscences": Dr. J. H. Patten, Woodward D. II. McConnahey, Mulhall Mrs. W. M. Jenkins and I?. F. Hegler, Gnt.hrio. and A. C. Puttee of Logan county. The governor of the territory will deliver the address of welcome. A rally of Hoosiers from all over Oklahoma is expected.

E. A. Kelly of Wavnetown writes your correspondent correcting a statement accrediting ex-Representative Jere Wilson to Crawfordsville. Judge Wilson's former home was Connersvillc, and he represented the old "burnt district" in the house. Captain Warren Wilhite, chief of the eastern division In the pension otiice. calls your correspondent's attention to the fact that Crawfordsville was not adequately credited as a mother of transMississippi statesmen In a recent letter wherein Senators Wilson and Patterson were traced to the Athens of Indiana. John R. Allen-, who was th« first senator from the state of Washington, is a Montgomery county product. Captain Wilhite ran across the senator in the commissioner's office several years ago, and recognized him instantly as a boyhood playmate. With Senator Allen the recognition was not so immediate, but he wns delighted when the captain recalled some exploits of the "gang" of boys to which they belonged many years ago. Senator Allen is a successful lawyer at Seattle.

Hon. A. L. Lawslie, auditor for the Philippines, who left Washington with his family and a corps of accountants on Jan. Gth, is due in Manila this week. The Lawshe case, as the senate's demand on the secretary of war for the auditor's report concerning the Neuly defalcations is known, refuses to down. Sixteen

Senator I'ettigrew ihen took live minutes to explain that he was not liiibuslering. Senator Alien next delivered a speech on protection. An hour and a half of wrangling without apparent purpose fid lowed, during which there were many I displays of temper, and a series of parliamentary tangles which must have tried the patience of the junior .senator from Indiana, who insisted that talking back and forth mi the floor should not go mi unless members a re a re in in to the debate. AI a quarter past II the senate adjourned, having accomplished .iust what the opponents of the subsidy I-,il! intended should be aecom plished. namely, nothing. And this was a typical night session of the senate. Kittle wonder the senate concluded to conline ilself lo matinee performances thereafter.

Indiana will get nothing substantial in the public building bill as the result present, session of congress ex .'•opting the Indianapolis postoltiee. Several bills introduced by Indiana members will go over to the next session. Mr. Cromer has hail an especially delicate task in handling two public building bills at the same time, for rival gas-belt, towns one for Anderson. and one for Muncie. To secure one and fall down with the other would be worse than failing in both, so that Mr. Cromer has had to exercise caution in pushing them along. The Washington Post quotes him as saying lo Senator Fairbanks: ''Senator. please introduce these bills at the same identical moment. When you report them favorably, make each report lhe same number of words, and use identically the same language in each. If you give either town the least advantage over the oilier. I can never come back to congress."'

It is noAv pretty generally admitted that Addison ('. Harris of Indianapolis will succeed Mr. Griggs as attorney geuoral, immediately alter the 4th of March.? He is expected to return within a few days from his post at Vienna, where he has served acceptably as minister to Austria for two years. If lie is appointed .Mr. McKinle.v's second cabinet, will he the third in which Indiana nas been represented since ISSS. W. H. II. .Miller was attorney general, and General John W. Foster secretary of state under President. Harrison, and Judge Gresham was Mr. Cleveland's secretary of state. In view of the many changes which have been made since Mr. McKinley's inauguration, it seems .strange thai an Indianjan has not sooner boon called to a place among the president's ofiicial advisers.

Special interest attaches to the 10th continental congress of the Daughters of the American Uevolution. which is to be held in Washington beginning

011

.Monday next, mi account of the promising indidacy of Mrs. Fairbanks for president-general. The election will lake place on Washington's birthday, and will doubtless he a sufficiently strenuous celebration of the holiday. Mrs. Fairbanks' competitors are Mrs. Donald McLean of New York. Mrs. William Lindsay of Kentucky. and Mrs. Washington A. Koebling of Xow Jersey. The Indiana senator's wife is considered the "administration candidate." having the endorsement of Mrs. Daniel Manning, wife of the ex-secretary of war, and present president-general. It is expected that about .*1.000 members of the organization will attend tho congress. which is always interesting to the general public on account of the tendency of the delegates to heated debate. A successor to Mrs. Fairbanks as one of the vice presidentsgeneral. will be elected.

The Washington Post predicts that the executive committee of tho Indianapolis monetary convention, of which Ilugh Ilanna of Indianapolis is the head, will fail in Its efforts to secure additional legislation to strengthen the gold standard during the present congress. The Post thinks that the committee erred in endeavoring to secure gold standard legislation from tho 55th congress, while there was a free silver majority in the senate.
