SMTim iw. House Members Are at Work In a Routine Way. YESTERDAY’S DOINGS DULL Militia Reorganization Bill Pawed and the Antip»«* Bill Killed In the Hon*e. Second Heading of a Number of Important Bill*-—Petition* Revetrod—State New*. Indianapolis, Feb. 9.—The senate, after a session yesterday morning, adjourned over until Monday, but the house continues to grind away. Ihe senate passed no measures, but advanced a large number on committee reports and second readings. The only important measure that camqj up was a valued policy bill, which after considerable argument was killed upon adverse committee reports. The most important action in the house was the passage of the militia reorganization bill and the killing of the antipass bill. Most of the day in the house was spent in advancing bills to engrossment on second reading, and of the measures thus advanced the most important were: Mr. Robinson’s bill, enlarging the power of the governor in ease of emergency; Moore’s bill, for canvassing boards appointed by the county commissioners instead of being made up by the inspectors; Alien’s administrative tax bill and Dinwiddle’s autiprize tight bill. During the morning session the house passed under suspension of the rules, bills regulating the compensation of senate employees, paying the claim of the Western Paving company, providing for a board of park commissioners at Indianapolis and legalizing the corporations of Grand View, Broad Ripple and Alton. Important Militia Action. The militia reorganization bill introduced by Mr. Mclendy then came up on third reading and passed without opposition. As the bill finally passed, it appropriates $45,000 per year for the support of the militia and entirely remodels the organization after the methods employed in New York. The hill contains a provision providing for the prompt payment of the men when called into the field in emergencies such as the strikes of last summer. The bill was drawn for the most part by Attorney General Ketcham, acting under the advice of Governor Matthews and his military advisors, it has met with conSiderable opposition on the part of cortain leaders of orjutiozed labor, but they were unable to make any impression on the house and will probably make no effort to stop the bill in the senate. Anti pass Discassion. When Mr. Harrison’s antipass bill came up for second reading, Mr. Moore moved to recommit it to the railroad committee. There was a general impression that, the effect of this would be to kill the bill, and Messrs. Pettit, CardWill and others spoke in behalf of the measure. Mr. Howe of Morgan was the only one who spoke directly against tlife bilk He had no he said, but Me did not believe that the action of apy member of, the house would be influenced by the fact that he had a pjks. lie was therefore opposed to casting any such imputation upon their integrity;.While the discussion was still pending the noon was taken and after dinner, upon a direct vote, the bill was recommitted to the railro.id committee by a vote of 49 to 28. Tho afternoon session was occupied almost entirely with bills on second reading, though Senator Wishard's bill, which has already passed the senate, preventing railroads from running through cemeteries, sion of the rules. ’ Insurance Committee*# Adverse lie port. Much of the senate’s time during its two hours session was occupied in hearing committee reports and advancing bills on second reading. The insurance commirte reported adversely on Senator Wray’s bill providing for the payment of the full .face of the policy in case, of total destruction. It also knocked out the 80 per cent clause and prevented discrimination in rates. The question was argued at some length and Senator Sweeney took occasion to plead the case of the farmer. “You may accuse me of making a bunko speech, but I propose to say what 1 have to say, just the same.’’ The majority report killing the bill was finally adopted. Senator Sweeney .had., a bill covering the same subject which was also killed. The committee favored Senator Boyd’s bill requiring mutual insurance companies to accumulate a surplus of SIOO,OOO before declaring dividends. Agitation on Temperance Bill. The agitation in behalf of the Nicholson bill still goes [on. Senator Newby presented a memorial to the senate containing 3,000 names from Henry county favoring the bill and the senate was flooded With minor petitions of the same character. The house committee on temperance which has the bill in charge irtet at 1 o’clock and voted 6 to 2in favor of recommending the bill for passage with certain amendments. These amendments strike out the clause which prohibits tlre use of fufniture iu saloons ami the clause declaring that a license forfeited in the mayor’s or justice’s court shall not exist during thte p -ndency of an appeal to a higher court. • The clause from the Van Arsdal bill prohibiting the. delivery of liquor to children, and thus breaking up the “growler” industry, is inserted, as is also another provision making it the duty of all peace officers- to enforce the law". The bill will be reported back to the house in this shape upon the next call of committees.’ * ...... —- — <5 " Juryman Taken Sick. " Richmond, Ind .

\ CHARLIE IS LOBT. And Hl* I>tt»r A nut Mope* For the Return of the Wanderer. 1 Charlie's unnt came into police headI quarters the other day and wanted tho department to go out and hunt for Charj lie, whoso last name is O'Brien. Missing children uro reported every hour of the day nt headquarters, and they did not sea anything nnusual in Charlie’s disappearance until the facts came ont They turned Charlie's aunt, who lives at 12 Sheldon street, over to Detective 1 Swan. The detective, with due regard for the sorrow at the thought of the lost Charlie, prepared to ask a number of questions. Tears almost welled up in his eyes as he pictured the little lost one wandering helplessly about in the streets of a groat city. “What time yesterday did you miss hifu?” he gently* inquired. “Sure, it wasn't yesterday at all 1 missed him, ’’ said Charlie’s aunt “How Ipng ago was it?” softly asked the detective. “Three years ago come last Monday, ’’ was the answer. Mr. Swan fell back in his chair with a dull thud. “Three years, did yon say?” and he looked out of tho window so he could have a laugh all by himself. “Have you a picture of him?” asked j Mr. Swan, and tlie caller produced a ’ tintype of a clever looking little chap. “That was taken some years ago,” said Charlie’s aunt. “He was 6 years old then. ” I “And howojd was ho when he disappeared?” asked Mr. Swan. “lie was over 17,” was tho answer. Mr. Swim gasped again. “And then he’sabout2l now, ”he remarked. “And j then he’s been missing three years, and j I yon don’t know where he is, and we’vo got the picture of a boy 6 years old to j find him with. That picture looks about as much like Charlie as I do. Tho best thing you can do if you want to find 1 Charlio is to advertise.”—Providence | , Journal. j | | NOTIFIED BY A BELL RINGER. How Western Villages Were Attracted to a Traveling Show. “A theatrical man has varied experiences, and some funny incidents aro continually coming before him,” said a showman to a reporter. “Tho one night 1 stands are prolific of episodes and profanity, especially the latter, but they aleoafford a good bit of amusement after the annoyance is over. They are not quitq so awful how as they used to be. A few years ago a company I was piloting through the west camo upon a rather unpromising town, bnt fate willed that we should give one appearance. The hall we hired was a crude affair, and so were tho accessories. There was no box office, no reserved seats, and 1 had to stand at the door and collect tho admission money. At 7:30 not a soul had appeared. At 7:45 a great big chap came stalking in and asked me if I wanted aringer. ‘What’s a ringer?’ I asked. ‘A man to ring the bell. You’ll never get folks up here to seo this show till you hire somebody to go down town and pull the town hall be.ll. They are used to it- and won’t come without. ’ I took tho ringer at his word, gave him half>r dollar, and he departed smiling. Soon the deep clanging of a bell smote upon the air, and in less than no time the townpeople camo pouring in, enough of them to make a fair audience. In spite of tho fact that our attraction had been set fortli on the billboards and in the local papers, if that bell hadn’t been pulled we would have played to vacant benches.”—Washington Post. Fought Shy of the Trap. Some years since, while hunting in northern Michigan, I tried, with the aid of a professional ti upper, to entrap afox who made nightly visits to a spot where the entrails of a deer had been thrown. Although we tried every expedient that suggested itself to us, we were unsuccessful, and, what seemed very singular, we always found the trap sprung. My companion insisted that the animal dug beneath it, and putting-his paw beneath the jaw pushed down the p in with safety to himself, but though the appearance seemed to confinn it I could hadly credit his explanation. Another year, in another locality of the same region, an old and experienced trapper assured me of its correctness and said in confirmation that he bad several times caught them, after they had made two or three successful attempts to spring the trap, by the simple expedient of setting it upside down, when, of course, the act of undermining and touching the pan would bring the paw within the grasp of the jaws.—Mr. Crehore of Boston in Nature. A Woman With Beauty and Nerve. Since the death of Seyffert, the Vienna executioner, the authorities have received scores of applications for bis place, of which the most curious is that of a pretty woman, who sends her photograph with the following letter: “I am 18 years old and possess great physical strength. My sex and above all my beauty fir, me' for the employment 1 solicit. The fact is that the last person on whom the condemned man fixes his gaze is the executioner, who nine times ! out of ten is repulsively homely. How much more consoling it would be for a criminal before entering ifito eternity to have the knot adjusted by the soft hands 1 of a woman, whose bewitching glances would "cause him to forget for an inI stanttbp terrors of a moral agony worse than death. ’’ —Vienna Letter. Bangor Girl*. You’ve heard of the Bifiigor girls? They are proverbial. Metaphorically 1 speaking, every daughter of Eva in the ' Queen City wears a bloom of health, a pair of large, speaking orbs and two lovely peachblown cheeks. Whether this is due to tho ozonic influence of tho 1 atmosphere or the unusual richness of ■« the soil, certain it is that Venuses and • Dianas and Hebes come marching up ! tho street some days in a solid phalanx. 1 There are girls upon girls, and they are all handsome. —Biddeford Journal -■- . ,
