Daily Average for December

Tile smallpox situation in Indianapolis has become so bad that the leading merchants of the city have been forced to unite in conspicuously carding the papers to deny rumors of the existence of the disease in their respective places of business. Judging from the wording of the. card the rumors have been circulated maliciously for the purpose of damaging the business of the city. It

Word comes from Lincoln. Neb., to the effect that William Jennings Bryan's paper, The Commoner, is soon to be issued as a daily and this too in the face of Mr. Bryan's recent comparison of the daily and weekly paper, which Was so radically favorable to the weekly. It is clear that Mr. Bryan can* no longer Ije Bound to* weekly utterances when so many other men can wag' their literary tongues each day. Ml". Bryan is determined to be in class one of the journalistic gabfes%

The fact that Harry Crawford has opened offices in Terre Ilaute is direct evidence that there will be "something doing" very shortly. Mr. Crawford managed to clear up half a million dollai-s on the sale of the old Midland after successfully operating it for many years in spite of injunctions, judgements, and receivers. A man with his wonderful legal ability and a big bunch of money is bound to be a factor in whatever sphere of activity he may appear.

The announcement that many of the leading society women of St. Louis have been pawning their jewels to pay poker debts is not calculated to jar the sensibilities of the country,, distressing as the revelation is. A city whose business and political'life has for. years been steeped in crime And, corruption can hardly present asocial circle of surpassing purity. In ev-r-very community's several spheres of ..action the unties ftre fairly well preserved. jV -...-

report of the state statisticians shows that the manufactu'i ed products turned out in Terre Haute last year amounted to nearly $28^00^(^ l^jco^pkr^d'to": previous years the FhoWing was not at all bad vet it will" look rather small compared to the showing that will be made this year. Terre Haute's industrial career is just beginning.

The city council,is solely and wholly responsible for the existence of smallpox in Terre Haute. The health officers did a magnificent work in the preliminaries and if they had given the*support from the council,-which common sense dictated, iliQ^disease would have been effectually barred.

Senator Wood's legislative apportionment bill while offer-ing-a few changes to the existing law is nevertheless quite unsatisfactory to quite a number of the counties and may be forced to undergo quite a number of transformatiofls before |ifinally accepted by the Republican caucus.

The most absurd story connected with the coal famine is thai sent out by a champion liar at South Bend who avers that'the coallcss citizens of that place are burning beans at a dollar and a half a bushel. The nauseating part of the whole tiling is that a nuftiber of prominent newspapers not only publish the telegram but comment on it seriously, as illustrating.the straits to which the people have been driven. Every intelligent man knows without being told that the South Bund bean story is a lie from the whole cloth. Burn beans a,t a dollar knd a half a bushel while the neighbors still have fences? Well, we guess not!

appear, however, that a re­

port purporting to establish smallpox in the downtown stores woiiid be too absurd to appeal to even the most credulous. Still in times of smallpox scares pretty nearly everything goes.

An unlicked cub by the name of Poer. who is misrepresenting thejjjounty of Shelby in the state legislature, has gone to some trouble to break into the Indianapolis papers with an unqualified endorsement of lynching. It is regret able that irresponsible youths entertaining such unworthy opinions should even* be elected to positions calculated to give official weight to Ifieir heresies.. iU'Ji^re/ife^ilready too much contempt for law in this land of ours and it is humiliating and demoralizing w!ien outlawry and crime are championed by a member Of thevlaw making'bodv of the commonwealth.

Evidently the halls of congress do not hold overly potential chatms for at least a portion of the Indiana delegation. Already Messrs. Landis. Hemenway. and llolliday have expressed /a perfect willingness to leave them for gubernatorial honors and similar feelings' are said to find a habitat in the snowy bosoms of Congressmen Watson and Crumpacker. Moreover, it is known that Judge Miers will seek the nomination on the Democratic ticket if when the time comes he feels that there, is the least show for success. What is the matter with our congressmen?

Anti-crime and anti-vice leagues are waging crusades in nearly every town and city in Indiana except Terre Haute, The high moral standard maintained here by Mayor Steeg and his -excellent police^ board tenders the work, of thg reformer entirely superfluous and unnecessary. How far our little candle throws its light into this wicked world!* :—.

Judge Rasch, of Evansville, has accepted the only course left upon to him and has resigned his position. While the public sympathizes with him' in his loss of office and reputation, there is a general feeling that the incident has been for the best interests of the state as prescribing unmistakably the limits of official graft.

That prosecuting attorney at Paoli, who has just awakened "to the fact that there is gambling at French Lick and who remains oblivious to the existence of the same abuse at West

Baden half a mile away, cuts a sorry figure in the eyes of the state. At least the situation gives color to the charge of official perfidy so openly made by Thomas Taggart.

The fact that Senator Billy Mason has finally realized that he cannot be ie-clected is in nowise a bunch of laurels for his political sagacity and perspicuity. The public realized the same thing as soon as Billy began to cut capers in the senate years ago.

If the reformatory government bill is merely a measure to enable Governor Durbin to get action on his enemies it should be promptly killed. Indiana is not paying legislatures to serve as the punitive instruments of her officials.

The senate committee lost no time in reporting favorably on the voting machine law. The machine voting sentiment is in the air and it may be safely assumed in advance that there.will ^e decisive legislation on this point. *v

The fact that a few of the penniless are getting coal for nothing is mighty cold comfort to the provident man of average means who has been obliged to encroach on his savings, fund to keep out the winter's flaw.

The agitation in congress for a removal of the duty from coal was rather spectacular than salutary. A duty of sixtyseven cents a ton cuts little figure where coal sells for from twelve to twenty dollars.

No one has observed any halo hovering over the head of our beloved mayor since he called off prize fighting in Terre Haute but just the same the action is to his credit even though it was done under pressure.

The coal operators, the retail dealers, the miners, .and the railroads may shift the blame as they like or even deny that there is any blame, yet the public realizes that it is being robbed by some one.

Will some coal dealer or operator please stand up and explain why coal which can be put on the car at the mine for eighty-nine cents a ton should sell in Terre Haute for several dollars? .•

Judge Day would not only grace the supreme bench of the United States by reason of his experience and eminent ability but by the further reason of his honesty and fearlessness.

If the present city council'runs for re-election the names of the canuidates ought to appear under a smallpox .flag as a party emblem.

called, to a higher sphere of gov

of reconstructing their lines, and upon

which hundreds of millions remain to be expended, will be an all-powerful factor in continuing business activity," gives importance to the fact that enormous expenditures by various railroad systems are scheduled for the coming twelve months. Next month, it is stated, the Pennsylvania Railroad will enter upon contracts calling for an expenditure of over $50,000,000, provision having been made for an increase of $100,000,000 in the company's capital stock. Some $6,000,000 is to go into new yards and buildings at Pittsburg, $10,000,000 into real estate, etc., in New York city, $5,000,000 into the new union station in.Washington, $3,000,000 into track elevations, etc., jn NeW Jersey, $1,000,000 for the Trenton bridge, and $2,000,000 for improvements in Philadelphia.

The Baltimore and Ohio also has work in contemplation that calls for the early expenditure of many millions, the total not falling below '$30,000,000. The New York Central has $25,000,000 to spend on general improvements. The Southern Pacific and oljd Centra) Pacific are to have nearly $450,000,000 of new capital put into them. Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe will 6pend $20,000,000 on new lines in Oklahoma. And these are but a few of the large outlays to be made by railways, the effect of which up^n business must be very considerable. The mines, the. furnaces, the machines shops,

Women Raked Coal from Cars While Children Gathered—Several Tons Were Confiscated.

l-

While Terre Haute is- not suffering from any real coal panic, the prices are so high that the fuel is hard to get, and on tiii's account many would, be but little worse off if there was no coal at all. The situation during the recent cold snap was serious, and caused a little excitement in Terre liaute,. which has been kept under cover until this morning. There are several families living along the tracks of the Yandalia yards, east of Thirteenth street, who are riot blessed, with an abundance of the commodity which serves to hasten the speed of the lethargic equine and on ac-1 count of this fact and the high price of coal, they were getting pretty chilly.

When they were verging on the point of desperation, a coal train pulled into the yards and came to a stand-still, right in the midst of the settlement. The shivering people, who are honest under ordinary circumstances, couhl not resist the temptation, and a rush was made on the coal cars which was more exciting while it lasted than any of the '"pipe rushes" given by the colleges last fall. As though the attack had been planned, women rushed from several houses, and toward the cars. They were followed by children with baskets and buckets and it required no great amount of study to tell what they intended to do. The women worked lively with their rakes and the heavy and smaller chunks rolled from the cars at a rate which caused them to yell with delight.

They worked vigorously, until tae wliis tie blew and the train moved off, when the women dropped their rakes and assisted the children in gathering up the coal they had raked from the cars. There was more of it than they had any idea of getting and it was necessary to press wheelbarrows and little wagons into service to remove it to their homes. The last chunk of the confiscated coal was gathered/ upland some men who watched the exciting work say there were several tons of it which

DID NOT ELOPE

Evansville Couple Married by Local Rabbi Deny That Feature of Story.

The Evansville Journal-lSews says: "David Rapiliel, member of a brokerage firm of 515 Main street and Miss Anna B. Morris, daughter of Mi's. Rachel Morris, 407 Upper Sixth street, wen$ to Terre Haute Tuesday, and were married in that city yesterday by Rabbi Samuel Horwitz, formerly at the head of the B'Nai Moshe congregation on Ingle street.

Friends of the couple say. that they did hot elope. They went to Terre Haute together, intent upon marriage. However only their intimate friends knew of their purpose. Mrs. Rachel did not know of the plans of her daughter, neither were Mr. Raphel's parents aware of his intentions. It is said that they sent a telegram to. this city immediately after the ceremony informing their relatives and friends of the marriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Raphel will ahiVfe from Terre Hftute at 8:22 o'clock tonight. They will live with Mrs. Morris on Upper Sixth street.

among the women and children who work ed so vigorously. The trainmen saw the work in progress but made no effort to stop it, as, presumably they knew what it meant to the poor. They only laughed and as the train pulled, out they waved their hats and cheered the women, who acknowledged by the waving of their hands and hoods.

There was no policeman in sight and if there had been it is no.^. likely that anv arrests would have been made.

OPERATORS ARE BLAMED

Dealers First Accused Them and Then the Railroad Association Adds Its Charge.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Peoria Superintendents' association pre-, sided over by Supt. John O. Crockett of this city, Ashley J. Elliott, secretary and manager of the Illinois Car Service association, -in denial of the statement of one of the superintendents that the per diem system of car hire was responsible for the present coal situation said that such was not the case and that the investigation now going on in Chicago would bring out the fact, that it was the operators and not the railroads that were to blame. He said: '"The operators have brought it about themselves by holding up cars for higher prices. Tim railroads have been- doing all in their power to hustle the unloading of coal cars in order that they m'ay get them back at the mines for reloading. The fact of the matter is. and it will be proven by the Chicago investigation, that the coal operators have been holding up loaded ears. The price of coal has got to be what they want it or the coal doesn't move."
