A SEVERE BLOW.

Sportsmen Cannot Hunt With Dog and Gun Under New Law.

Local sportsmen are greatly agitated just now over the interpretation of the late game and fish law passed by the legislature last winter. One section of the law prohibits hunting from October 1 to November 10 cf each year. Another section says the sportsmen by obtaining a permit from the fish and game warden may hunt squirrels, ducks and other water fowl during the time. But the great trouble seems to be that according to the reading of the law the hunter is not permitted to have his dogs in the field or to carry a gun during thai period, therefore he may as well stay at home as to try and hunt. The same warden has been appealed to and he says he is of the opinion that the intent of the legislators is exactly in accord with the wording of the act and that dogs must be kept out of the field from October 1 to November 10 of each year. How squirre.s, duoks and water fowl in general are to be shot without the use of a gun is what the habitual hunters would like to know just now and before they plan for their fall tours. It is a puzzling question, and it looks like the only recourse is the use of the bow and arrow.

AWAY FROM FARM.

Rural Districts L»se In Population In Ten Y«ars.

In ten years from January 1, 1890, to December 31, 1900, according to figures compiled bv D. Machan, deputy state statistician, the population of the cities and incorporated towns of Indiana increased 40 per cent. In other words, according to the statistic?, the tendency in Indiana is no longer toward a life in the country, but towards the establishment of homes in the towns and cities of the state. The farm is being depopulated and the city built up. In UiOO the total population of Indiana was 2 51(5.462. Of this number of inbrbitants 1,127,239 were residents of cities and incorporated towns Put in another way, Mr Machan declares, 45 per cent of Indiana's inhabitants lives in cities and towns, and about 55 per cent in the rural districts.

The significance of these figures is brought to light when they are compared with the same figures gathered and compiled in 1890. ten years before. At that time about 65 per cent of the state population lived in the rural districts, while only 35 per cent sought the crowded streets and the busy thoroughfares of the cities and the more strenuous life of the incorporated towns.

In ten years the farms have lost 10 per cent of their residents and this 10 per cent has gone to help swell the census figures of the cities. The fact is one of more than ordinary significance inasmuch as it places Indiana near the head of the list when compared with the other states of the union where the cities and towns are robbing the country homes of their population.

The facts show in rather a deductive way that the young men and women of the present day are no longer content to remain in the country, but are determined to seek the crowded marts of the most densely populated places and there carve out t.ht-ir fortunes.

v'v Wilson May Defend Schley. A special from Washington aavs: "It is believed that Capt James Parker, formerly of the navy, who is now exami ng the records in the navy department relating to the west Indian campaign, will, when the case comes bnfore the naval court, have associated with him, as senior counsel for RearAdmiral Schley. Judge Jere Wilson, one of the most prominent members of the Washington bar. '•Judge Wilson was formerly one of the most prominent members of the bar in Indiana, but in the early '80-i moved from Crawfordsville to Washington."

THE MAYOR'S COURL

The Busiest Day For Several Months and All Sorts of Troubles are Aired.

The mayor's court ground pretty steadily all day last, Friday and did not finish the grist until late in the evening.

The first cases up In the morning were three drunks and they were all given the customary ati-essment which will be used to help pay the teachers of the schools this fall.

The next case was an assault and battery from Smartsburg. It appears that Hal Hudnut, of that place, works for his uncle, William Posey, and last Thursday Hudaut brought a load of oats to town and waiting until the cool of the evening, drove home about nine o'clock. He found Posey waiting on the branch of the creek for him and without much ado hostilities opened without any time for explanations. The fight was short and after if was over Posey came to town and filed the charge of assault and battery agninst his nephew. Hudnut came in and pleaded guilty, paying his fine. When a-ked if tie wished to file a counter charge against Posey he grinned and said he had got his money's worth already.

In the afternoon the case of Charles Swindle and Martin Zichary against Mrs. Timmons and diughter Vera, of Court street, was called. The room was filled with witnesses for both sides and presented an animated scene. The Timmonses are charged with provoke and with having cursed the plaintiffs in a row that took place at the Timmons home last Tuesday night, but the defendants deny the allegation and spurn tho allegators and say that all they called the men was ''black liars." Before the case was called the defendants bad a conference with their attorney and deciaed to plead guilty. They were accordingly fined $12 55 and given astern reprimand by the court. Charles Swindle and wife were also repromandby the court and the witnesses were all dismissed without being allowed to dish up the delectable morsels that the waiting spectators were eager to hear.

New Local Freight.

AS TO CLOTHING. HERE is an epitaph in a Vermont churchyard: "I expected this but not so soon." Such is the epitaph on clothing worn out in the wash-tub. Underclothing may be fragile, yet it ought not to wear out in ten weeks. But this isn't wear it is decay. You buy 5 cents worth of cheap soap and you lose the equivalent of 50 cents in the wash-tub. Ivory Soap will not harm the most delicate fabric. Is it wise not to use it

IVORY SOAP IS PER CENT. PURE.

Because of bhe great Increase of freight business on the Vandalia railway, a new local freight has been put on that arrives bere at 10 a. m. and leaves at 2 p. m. No passengers will be carried on the new train, which made its first trip Monday morning.

PAKT SECOND

NO MONEY YET.

The Election Expenses of the Recent Railroad Election Cannot Be Paid Until September.

The trustees, of Ripley and Union townships are being deviled nearly to death by members of the election boards at tho late election held to vote a subsidy to the electric line. It has not yet been decided who will pay for the election, the township or tho promoters of the road, and if the townships pay the expense it will not bo possible to pay the bills until the county council meets the third day of September and makes the necessary appropriation. Said one of the trustees: "J am rapidly getting gray heaued telling people that I can't pay their bills for the election expense. They moot mo at the office the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night and occasionally come around to my house to ask me if I have got any money yet. If the money Is not paid pretty soon 1 shall be compelled as a matter of self protection to pay the bills myself, and I would hate to have to do that."
