’ SENATOR THAYER DEAD The Senate Adjourns For the Day Out of Respect to Dis Memory. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE Outline of the Provlulon* of the Arbitration mil Introduced by Mr. Merritt. Bllle on Third Rending In the Hou*. New Rille Introduced — General State News. Indianapolis, Jan. 29.— The death of Senator Thayer was announced to the legislature yesterday, and out of respect to his memory the senate adjourned at once for the day, after appointing a , committee to attend his funeral, and the house adjourned until the afternoon session. In the afternoon the house passed two minor bills, and killed one contemplating a change in the jury system which was up for third reading. The rest of the day was devoted to the introduction of bills. The most important of these was one by Air. Merritt ’ for the creation of an arbitration commission to settle labor disputes. Provision* of Arbitration Dill. "it provides for the appointment by the governor of two commissioners, one from the employing and one from the emplpyed class, who, together with the judge of the county wherein the controversy arises, shall constitute the commission, but it is also permitted that each side of the controversy choose a man to serve on the board, thus making it composed of five men for each arbitration. Each member is entitled to $lO per day for time actually spent in the arbitration of difficulties. The commission may be called in by an agreement of the parties to the controversy or may investigate of its own motion and publish the result. The circuit court is empowered to enforce the decisions of the arbitration board by proceedings as in contempt Douse Proceeding*. When the house convened in the afternoon three bills came up for passage on third reading. The first of these was Mr. Stotsenberg’s bill leaving the judge to fix the punishment in criminal cases and leaving the jury to determine simply the question of guilt or innocence. The bill was so faultily drawn that it would have abolished capital punishineirt-. and noirwithstanding the fadt that the sentiment of the house was almost unanimously against it, there was considerable discussion. It was defeated by the heavy vote of Bto 68. Mr. Griffin’s bill compelling railroads to furnish supper at waitingrooqis and Mr. HollaWay’s bill providingfor the organization of tobacco warehouse, companies were passed without opposition. Among the new bills introduced were ’he following: By Mr. McGeath—To establish an inebriate asylum. By Mr. Allison—To provide that “the county printing” shall be published in : two papers of opposite politics. By Air. Statesman—To give minority parties watchers on the count on election day. By Mr. Floyd—Providing for special sessions of county commissioners. By Air. Allen—An_administrative tax bill; a drainage bill, and a bill to prevent the issuing of script and due bids. By Air. Willis —To empower town trustees to liconsb jitinerant merchants; | shortening the time fSr. recording more- : gages to 10 days. >.* By Mr. Mclntosh—Changing the time of electing county superintendents and regulating the school enumeratioif. By Mr. Robinson —Abolishing days of ; grace. By Mr. AlcGregor — Regulating the ; practice of dentistry. By Mr. Van Arsdel —Compelling sleep- < ingcar companies to keep upper berths closed when not occupied; placing justices of the peace on a salary. By Air. Leedy—To prevent the adulteration of baking powders with cream of tartar; establishing a probate court in each county. By Air. Boordman — Making wine rooms unlawful. By Mr. Blue—Establishing the office of county engineer. By Air. Mcßeth—Requiring mutual ; insurance companies to accumulate a surplus of SIOO,OOO. DEAD FOR TWELVE DAYS. Body of William F. Donzlieim Found In a Garret. Indianapolis, Jan. 39.—The body of William. F. Bonzheim was found in the garret of Henry J. R dnken’s saloon yesterday by Alts. Reinken, who went up after some old clothes. As far as is known at present the body had been there 12 days. Bonzheim was porter at the saloon and disappeared Jan. 17. He was about 23 years old. The body was comparatively well preserved, doubtless due to the recent cold weather. The garret was not used except as a storeroom by the family, who live on the floor underneath. When last seen Bonzheim was sober and his friends believe that he went up into the unused hall to sleep. No marks of violence were found on the body and the case may turn out to be one of suicide. SENATOR THAYER’S DEATH. Occur* at Hl* Hom* In Warsaw From a Stroke of Paralysis. Warsaw, Ind,, Jan. 29.—Senator J. D. Thayer died at his home in this city at 6 o’clock Alonday morning of paralysis.

Muncie, Ind., Jan. 29.—According to the data from which Charles Emerson will publish the new city directory the population of Muncie is still on the increase. The directory he published two years ago gave the city oyer 19,000 population, a gain of about 8,000 in five years. The new book will show a population of over 22,000, which is a much greater gain than was anticipated by the most sanguine persons. Child Burned to Death. Marion, Ind., Jan. 29. — The little 8-year-old boy of Airs. Hattie Jones died ; yesterday from the effects of burns re-! ceived Sunday. While he and an older brother were playing before an open grate his nightclothes caught fire and enveloped him in flames.

If Yon Want the Real Thing, Never Go to Kenilworth Castle For It. “ ‘Could 1 get eorne slips of Kenilworth ivy anywhere about the ruins?’ I heard a woman ask of the lodgekeeper at Kenilworth castle one day, ’ ’ said a traveler. , “ ‘You are an American, aren’t you, madam?’ asked thokeeper, with a smile. ‘“Why, yes, but what of that?’ responded tho lady, with some slight embarrassment. “ ‘All American ladies come and ask mo for Kenilworth they have searched in every ndok and corner of the ruins for it, ’ explained the keeper. , ‘They have told me how common it is in America and how much it is prized, and generally explained that they have promised to take some of the real thing back from Kenilworth ruins for friend/ at home. They tell me they expected to find the ruins of Kenilworth castle over- ! grown with the beautiful “Kenilworth ivy,” and that it is generally supposed I in America that such is the case, and i that the ivy first came from here or is i named after these ruins because of its abundance here. ’ “The woman nodded assent to all this, and the keeper continued: “ ‘But what you know as “Kenilworth ivy” doesn’t grow in or about Kenilworth ruins, as you’ve no doubt discovered; ’ And he smiled again, and the woman also smiled in an embarrassed way, for she had been hunting every, I inch of the ruins over, looking for th® plant. ‘From the description of the plant which Americans give me I think it is i what we call ground or wood ivy that I you treasure so much. It has a small, ! bright green leaf and bears a tiny whit* flower. It grows on the ground in the ■ thtekets und under the hedges in cool places, but I never saw it growing on a wall as the common ivy does. I don’t think there is much of it anywhere hereabouts, but it grows in abpndance in some places farther south. The American ladies ahvays seem very much disappointed when I tell them “Kenilworth ivy” doesn’t grow here in Kenilworth, and I’m very sorry I can’t give i you some, ina’am. ’ “And tho woman turned away, with a little sigh, as she thought of the hanging basket at home which was to have been filled with Teal Kenilworth ivy’ and of the many friends to whom she had promised slips of the ‘real thing’ when H had grown. The ruins of Keflilworth castle are covered with thick masses of ivy, but it isn’t ‘Kenilworth ivy, ’ but just the common kind. ’ ’ —New 'York Suu. Tho Aim of Christ’s Work. I “Peace o i earth”-was the aim of ' Christ’s w : k in this-world, writes Edward Bellamy ia The Ladies’ Home Journal. The whole gist of his doctrine and the burden of his teaching consisted in counsels to men howto put an end to strife with their fellow men and live together with them in mutual helpfulness. All this teaching, which was the whole content of his gospel, was grouped about and crystallised in the golden rule, ‘Whereon our modern world is founded as ou an everlasting foundation. To believe in Christ and not to believe in the golden rult] as the only plan for social organization seems to us a moral and rational impossibility—jjjj unthinkable proposition. Just this, however, our ancestors undertook to do, and it is fair to admit that, they were very frank about it. They made no An Apt Reply. Napoleon’s apt replies often excited good'h.umbr in a crowd. A large aud brawny fish woman once was haranguing the mob and telling them not to disperse. She finished by exclaiming: “Never mind those coxcombs With epaulets on their shoulders. They cqre not if we poor people all starve if they can but feed well and grow fat. ” Napoleon, who was as thin as a shadow, turned to" her aud said, “Look at mo, my. good woman, and tell me which of us two is th- ratter;”-— The fish fag w;js completely disconcerted, and the mob dispersed.—Exchange. st An Original.
