A Hard Row to Hoe.
Indianapolis News: Harry Crawford, president and principal owner of the Chicago & Southeastern, is in the city to-day and talked encouragingly about the prospects of his road. "Not many people know," said Mr. Crawford, "what we have had to con tend with on the Chicago & Southeastern. Everyone seems to delight in giving us a black eye. We heve been browbeaten and blackmailed to make us let go of the property, and half the trouble we have had has been worked up by other railroads. But I guess we have not had any more measles and scarlet fever than most new railroad enterprises, and I know we are coming out all right."
Hand Injured.
Yesterday while operating one of the saws at the coffin factory Ernest Dorsey sustained a very painful injury. The saw struck a latent crack in the board and a number of splinters were thrown violently out. One large one penetrated Mr. Dorsey'shand inflicting an ugly wound, which will retire him from work for some days.
Hogs Go High.
The good people of Montgomery county who still hold fat hogs are rej joicing. The market at Indianapolis yesterday went up to $6.10. and it really looks as though the top notch had not yet been reached.

A Magnificent Scenic Production of Quo •Vadls.
"Beautiful, colossal, spectacular, great, clever, is the way Whitney & Knowles1 production of Quo Vadis is described in the press notices/' says the press of Lafayette. But after witnessing the production it must be admitted that riot one of these adjectivesjused is strong enough to describe this magnificent production of Quo Vadis. From our exchanges we find many such complimentary notices which assures us that when the Whitney & Knowles production is seen at Music Hall for the first time there 'will be a rare treat for the theater goers of the community Tuesday night. ,'Messrs. Whitney & Knowles' representative who is in town engaging supernumeraries to fill out the mam'imonth historical stage pictures, assures ua that the play will be seen here in its entirety as seen at the New York theater last season with the same due regard to every detail.

To Square Matters.
THE JOUKNAL has received the following note from James B. Elmore: "MR. EDITOR—Dear Sir:—I saw what purported to be an outline of my new story in Saturday's JOURNAL and I de sire to correct it. The titleZofjmy new story is 'A Lover in Cuba and Poems.' The hero is a Colorado regular and the heroine llvef in Terre Haute. I would say that Bessie Smith, of Alamo, has no connection with the story whatever, and that 'Howard Hutchinson is a per' feet gentleman whom I esteem. He has taught two schools in Ripley town ship and could remain at the same place if he desired. I submitted my manuscript to Mr. Hutchinson' and he made many suggestions to me for which I am much indebted to him. Mr. Hutchinson is an excellent proof reader and I am very much obliged to him for his valuable services.

JAMES B. ELMORE
"P. S. Please publish this and set matters right for I do not desire to do anyone the least harm. Mr. Hutchinson is my friend and so is Bessie Smith, so please state these facts and oblige
Your truly,
JAMES B. ELMORE."
If THE JOURNAL unconsciously did Mr. Elmore an injustice in its outline of his story it is duly sorry and if it in advertently stepped upon the toes of any of his cherished friends it is still more sorry. The Mr. Hutchinson spoken of in the letter is probably the school teacher referred to in the "outline" as desiring to cut out many of Mr. Elmore's choice thoughts. He is doubtless an exemplary and worthy young man to say nothing of being a bully good proof reader, but we feel warranted in saying that if he is turned loose with a blue pencil among Mr. Elmore's stories and poems he will rid them of the very spice and flavor that have popularized them with the people. Down with the literary critic! Let poesy not be trammeled by fixed form as she goes a Maying with her votary.

WORDING OF A LAW.
Children Who Refuse to Be Vaccinated Can Attend School.
Secretary Hurty, of the state board of health, has discovered that the amendment offered by Representative Louttit to the compulsory education bill, and which was successful, will cause the statelboard some annoyance This amendment will prevent the board from -ordering children kept out of school where parents have refused to have them vaccinated. The amendment says "that no child in good mental and physical condition shall for any cause, for any rule of law to the contrary, be precluded from attending school when such school is in session."
It is said that the Louttit amendment is the result of the agitation a few months ago in Port Wayne, when the people resisted the health board's order quarantining children.
Secretary Hurty says that under the provisions of t.ho Lont-titJjajneDdrrw-it children whose homes are infected with smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or other contagious diseases, may attend school regardless of the wishes of the local health board.

CRAWFORDSVILLE TALENT.
II Is Sadly Repining In the Musty Old Jnll nt Lebanon.
A telephone message from the marshal at Lebanon on Thursday stated that Dan George and his partner, old man Sawvor, of this city, wore in jail there on a charge of having stolon a wagon load of chickens. These two fellows, both of whom have done time in prison, have been operating a huckster wagon of late and left Crawfordsville on Monday stating that they wore going to Indianapolis. When they appeared in Lebanon on Thursday they had as tine a lot of chickens as were ever "lifted.'' While there was no direct evidence that they had stolen them, it was considered good policy to clap them into jail ponding developments. A message from Frankfort later oh stated that Sawyer was wanted there.
Sawyer, George, and two or three other parties were sent up a number of years ago for stealing clover seed from .Crabbs and Reynolds. After his release George was shot iu the face in a dive near the Monon station, but recovered. He still wears the scar of his wound, however.

It forbids hunting of any kind with dog and gun from Oct. to Nov. 10, except for squirrels, wild duck and other water fowl, under pen alty of $5 to $50 line and ten days imprisonment. Each day's hunting constitutes a separate offense. Permits from the fish and game commissioners arc required for any kind of hunting
Iluntera from outside the state must have a license granted by a circuit court. No licensee can take more than 24 birds of all kinds from the state.
Another emergency law which took effect March 12, creates a state board to license embalmers.
An emergency clause attaches to the "graveyard insurance" law. It is now unlawful for any insurance company tn insure life of apersoh to lihy person who has no interest in the life of the insured.
Among other laws with emergency clauses and which are now in effect are:
