It’s so strange that such simple things are overooked by those who want health. Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness.

DOWN TO BUSINESS Indiana Lawmakers In Both Houses Pass Bills. TWO COUNTY ENABLING ACTS. Building and Loan Association Bill and Fee and Salary Law Amendments Introduced — House Passes Its New Rules and a Bill Appropriating Legislative Expenses. Indianapolis, Jan. 9.—Some business of importance besides listening to the message of Governor Matthews was transacted by the general assembly yesterday, The house adopted its new rules and the senate passed two bills, enabling the commissioners of Allen and Jasper counties to issue bonds for their new courthouses. A rollcall for bills was had in the senate and 22 were introduced, the most important of them being a building and loan bill by Senator Newby, upon the lines of the famous bill that was ’defeated two years ago, and bills to amend the fee and salary law. The house adopted new rules calculated to hold down the large minority and passed a bill appropriating SIOO,OOO for the expenses of the session. Both houses adjourned until next Monday, and as that is inauguration day it is not likely that mush business will be transacted then. The new lieutenant governor and the speaker will announce their standing committees on Tuesday. In the senate Senator Mull will head the finance committee and Senator N ewby the judiciary committee. In the house it is probable that B. Wilson Smith will head the ways and means committee and John L. Linck the committee on judiciary. DAYS’ PROCEEDINGS. Important Bill. Introduced in the Senate —Contests Filed in the House. The senate met promptly at 10 o’clock and transacted a good deal of business during the hour that intervened before the joint session to listen to the governor’s message. The two bills passed were to enable the completion of the courthouses of Jasper and Allen counties. The most important measure among the bills introduced was a building and loan measure by Senator Newby, which goes on the calendar as senate bill No. 22. The bill has all the essential features of the measure over which there was such a long and hard fight at the last session and which was finally beaten in the senate. It also has one or two new features, designed to prevent the transfer of funds under guise of loans from one series to another or from a “No. 1” to a “No-. 2.” There were three bills introduced for the rearrangement of judicial circuits, aud two bills were introduced for the purpose of straightening out the fault in the fee and salary law requiring auditors and treasurers to make up their salaries from their fees. Senator O’Brien introduced a bill placing the appointment of the custodian and engineer of the state house in the hands of the governor, secretary and auditor of state. Senator Costlin introduced a bill providing that when road indebtedness of a township exceeds the road fund and the estimated receipts from road tax for one year the trustee may levy an additional road tax not exceeding one per cent after presenting to the county commissioners a detailed statement of the matter. Senator Shively at the afternoon session introduced an anti-trust law which is very complete in such provisions as define trust, fix penalties for violation of the act and provide methods of prosecution, but the bill after defining trusts neglects t.o declare them unlawful anywhere except in the title. Senator Schenck introduced a compulsory education bill which is practically the same measure he had before the senate two years ago, and is modeled after the law of Illinois. The senate adjourned until Monday. The House. The house transacted no business until after the joint session. It then remained at work for nearly an hour before adjourning until Monday. Mr. Nicholson, chairman of the committee on rules, presented his report. The rules of the last session are revised in a few points and are designed to .hold in check the large minority aud strengthen the hands of the speaker. The most important change is, instead of a mere majority it requires a two-thirds majority to overthrow the decision of the chair. Speaker Pettit announced that he had received the papers in three contests and had turned them over to the clerk. The cases are those of Poindexter against Graham in Clark county, Adams against Miller in Parke and Cockran against Hart in Gibson county. The Clark county contest is based upon various charges of fraud and intimidation of voters. The contest in Parke and Gibson counties, however, bring up the direct issue of the legality of fusions arranged by committees; Representative Thomas introduced a bill appropriating money for the expenses of ihe session. It was passed without objection under suspension of the, rales. The aifiount appropriated was SIOO,OOO, after which the house adjourned until Monday. ja —■ Inauguration Ceremonies. The inaugural committee, composed of citizens of both parties, ■ completed the arrangements last night for the inauguration. The committee will meet at the Denison House Monday morning at 11 o’clock, and carriages will be sent for Governor tiiid Mrs. Matthews and Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Nyo. Governor Matthews will cull on Governor Mount, and the latter will be escorted to the capital. The governor’s party will proceed to the senate chamber, where Lieutenant Governor Haggard will be inaugurated at noon in the presence of the general assembly, state officers and judges of the higher courts. Immediately following Governor Mount will be inaugurated from a platform in the main corridor. Governor Matthews will deliver a farewell sentence, and Chief Justice Jordan will administer the oath of office to Governor Mount. An informal reception will be held in the governor’s parlor’s in the evening.

TARIFF HEARINGS. Glaoblowert and Potter* Before the Way* and Means Committee. Washington, Jan. 9.—The workingmen played the principal parts in the tariff hearing yesterday by the ways aud means committee. Delegations of operatives from the organizations of glassblowers, flint, and hme glass workers, the bottle and windowglass blowers of Illinois and JPenusylvania and the potters of TreißTO, N. J., and East Liverpool, 0., spoke. All told the same story of decreased wages, mills running op short time and general distress under the operation of the Wilson law. F. L. Bodine of Philadelphia spoko for the manufacturers of cylinder windowglass and Congressman Taylor of Ohio, for the potters, gave interesting illustration of ruinous competition from Japan. F. C. Partridge of Rutland, Vt., presented a schedule agreed upon by all the marble interests and minor interests were also represented. TO BLOCKADE CHARLESTON. Secretary Herbert Ha* Decided to Give the Navy Lesions. Washington, Jan, 9.—-Secretary Herbert, after consultation with Admiral Bunee, commanding the North American squadron, has decided to allow the admiral to undertake the blockade of Charleston. Heretofore the squadron manuevers have not gone beyond target practice, fleet evolution, signalling and landing parties. Gradually the exercises have been enlarged in scope as the officers and men gained in proficiency and became better acquainted with the qualities of their respective ships and now Secretary Herbert has become satisfied of the practicability of undertaking a regular blockade. Charleston was selected as the objective point because of the tine winter climate and the availability of Hampton Roads and Port Royal, S. C., as bases for the blockading fleer. Appointed Examiner of the Mint. Washington, Jan. 9.—Henry M. Clapp of Ohio, stenographer in the office of the secretary of the treasury, has been appointed examiner of the mint at a salary of $2,500 per annum. This position has been vacant since the appointment of W. E. Morgan to be coiner of the mint at Philadelphia, in June, 1895. Vest Nominated. Jbfferson City, Mo., Jan. 9.—The Democratic caucus last night nominated Senator George G. Vest as a candidate for United States senator to succeed himself. The legislature will vote for United States senator on Jan. 19. when it is oonfidently expected Vest will be re-elected. Electric Bitters.
