Attorney General W. L. Taylor, in commenting on the lesson there is for Indianians in the Buffalo tragedy, said: "We should by all means have a law providing just who may carry revolvers and absolutely prohibiting the dealers from selling to any person not included in the list. It should also provide a heavy punishment for any person who carries a revolver without a license to do so, and these licenses should be issued by the state only as may be necessary in the preservation of law and order. The assassin of President McKiniey bought his revolver in Buffalo a day or two before he used it. With such a law as I have described he could not have purchased a revolver, and the tragedy might have been averted. It is true we have a law against carrying concealed weapons, but as long as anybody can purchase a revolver at any store, that law will be nugatory. Another thing we need in this country is a lot of hanging. A life for a life is oue of the foundation stones of good

Obituary.

Mary Francis Avritt was born Sept. 1, 1858, and died at her home near Brown's Valley, Ind Sept. 22, 1901, at the age of 43 years am 21 days. She was the youngest child of six children born to Elisha and Francis Priest Avritt. Her brothers and sisters are Ann Eliza, deceased Sarah Elizabeth Irwin, of Idaho: William Wallace, of Tecumseh, Neb. John Franklin, of Fincastle and George Priest, deceased.

Mary was married April 9th, 1878, to George W. Owens, who died March 26th, 1888. To them were born three children, Minnie, Pearl and Ida. Little Pearl died when only one year and four months old. Minnie is the wife of James Layne, and the mother of the only grandchild.

After remaining a widow for four years, the deceased was again married to William S. Muck, Jan. 7th, 1892. To them was born one child, Helen Vivian, who is now seven years old. These children, Minnie, Ida and Vivian, together with her kind husband, are left to feel the loss of a kind and loving mother and wife.

The deceased united early in life with the Christian Union church at Bainbridge, Ind., and on the 14th of Feb., 1899, she was received into the Christian church here by letter. She was a member and the treasurer of the Ladies' Aid Society of this church, and her life speaks for Christian faithfulness everywhere. She was an exemplary wife, mother, neighbor and Christian, and will be missed in the neighborhood, at the sick bed, in the church, but most of all in her home.

In memory we say farewell, but with hope to meet again.

Judge West.

On Sunday as Vincent Craig sat, in his store at Darlington with all the I doors locked he heard a noise at the rear screen and quietly awaked developments. He could distinguish hoys' voices on the outside planning a raid on his stock and finally after they had cut the screen out he stepped forward and confronted them. They were Ralph

Auman, Willie Woiliver and Tracey Marshall, none of them over twelve years of age. It is charged that they also broke into the store o'. Mr. Voting previously that day and hooked a lot of cigars, so warrants were Wednesday issued for their arrest. Thursday Deputy SherilV Phillips wont up and took Masters Marshall and Woiliver into the net but the Auman boy could not be found, his relatives having spirited hira away. The two lads who were arrested, however, were brought before Judge W.est at eleven o'clock arrayed in their Sunday clothcs and scared faces.

Judge West talked to them in a fatherly way, and encouraged by his gentleness Master Woiliver told a cock and bull story to the elTect that he and Marshall had been engaged in trying to :Pduce Auman not to break into the store when they were come upon by Mr. Craig. He vigorously denied having hooked cigars at Young's place and insisted that he and the Marshall lad were simply acting as missionaries to the bad Auman boy.

As Prosecutor Reeves had gone to the Lafayette street fair the court allowed the parents of the children to take them in charge until in the afternoon.

When the youngsters appeared in the afternoon .I udge West stated to their parents that he would allow them to take the boys home and would hold them responsible for their appearance here next Tuesday for trial. Judge West will conduct the trial without the intervention of a jury.

It is said that the Auman boy, who eluded errest, is a tough proposition for ono so young, and has been badly spoiled by the loafers about town. It has been the delight of some of the store box warmers up there to hire the little boy to curse people, the lad being perfectly willing to blackguard anyone in town for the magnificent sum of live cents. In other ways his badness has been encouraged and that he finally robbed a store is hardly to be wondered at.

The parents of the other boys would do well to give them a good spanking and have them come here next Tuesday prepared to tell the truth. A tlimsy story told in court will do them no good.

Lecture Course Note.

Tickets for the lecture course will be placed on sale the first of the coming week. People desiring to sell tickets, who have not already done so, will leave their names with the secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. The prospectus of the course is now out and will be placed in the hands of the people at once.

But 750 tickets will be placed on sale, this being the seating capacity of Music Hall. Tickets can be bought the first of the week at Lacey's book store, Brower Bros, and the Y. M. C. A.

Were Married.

At the home of H. F. Harrell, 113 west Chestnut street, on Sept. 22, Rev A. W. Iiunyan united in marriage Mr. Joel Brown and^Mrs. Etta Crysler, both of Wakomis, Oklahoma. Mrs. Crysler is a sister of Mrs. Harrell. Both are leading citizens of that territory and well-to-do. They left Monday morning to visit relatives near Potomac, 111., and from there they go to Pittsburg, Kan., to visit friends and relatives, and will reach their home on or about .Sept. 30, with best wishes for their future happiness.

The songs, dancing and specialties are all new, bright and sparkling as the rosy morn, and manager Bothner with his little hatchet and grubbing hoe has literally obliterated the "chestnut tree." A bevy of pretty girls, without which no Hoyt play would bo complete, are sure to be like a pair of gloves, "on hand." aud an enjoyable evening is assured
