SIX PLEAOED GUILTY

.INDICTED SALOON KEEPERS IN COURT THIS MORNING

Vmi TO AiPPEARi SATURDAY

Sentence Withheld Until First Day of Next Court Term—Were Given a Severe Lecture.

Six of the saloonkeepers indicted by the last grand jury were arraigned before Judge Piety in the Circuit court this morning, and after being given a Scathing oral rebuke, they were informed that sentence would not be passed on them until the 10th day of April, and lhat the sentence would to a great extent be tempered by the manner in which Ihey managed their business up to that tim#.

Those who were arraigned were Otto (Baganz, Usher Holiday, "Slim" Keith Fred Frey, Christopher Gardner and Sam r. Lockard, all pleaded guilty, but the I wo last named showed that they liad deposited the money for the license and had given notice of their intention to apply, and that the money was still on deposit with the county treasurer. In support of their claims both showed receipts signed by the treasurer. The others all pleaded guilty as charged in the indictments and some of the excuses they offered, bordered on the humorous. After the six offenders had been arraigned, all were called to chairs in front of the judge and were told in plain English as to what they may expect if they are caught in another attempt to evade the lav. The judge told them that their conducting their places without licenses was not only a violation of the law, but was an injustice to the other saloonkeepers who paid a license for the privilege. He told them that he wanted them to understand that they must conduct their places according to law and that in the future no leniency would be shown to violators. Further, that he did not want to continue business, until they had made the proper procedure toward securing license and that all must have license when they come before him for the final verdict, or else they would get the full limit, which is a fine of $100 and six months in jail. He said that the records would show plea of guilty in each case, but gave no intimation as to what the fine will be.

The following named asked for postponement of arraignment because their attorneys were not in court, and their trials were set for March 16: Albert Johns, William Smith, Fred Stineman, Ed Longnecker and H. E. Bell. The esse against Dan Slusser was set for March 17. Fred Jarboe, William Doyle, N. R. Parker Con Meagher, Bennett Stewart and George Riley were not ready for arraignment and their cases were passed until Saturday morning.

In passing these cases the judge said that if every man was not in court at 1 he proper time the bonds of those who failed will be forfeited. All the offenders are still under bond, for their appearSince to abide the ruling of the court. Before adjourning, the judge ordered the officers that in the arrests yet to be made, to be very careful in who they accepted as bondsmen, as a forfeiture would be taken in each case where the accused iiled to appear on. time.

William Ward and Harry Rucker. who conduct saJoons in Nevins township, near Fontanet, were arrested on indictments charging them with conducting disorderly houses. They were not ready for trial and their oases were continued until Saturday. They gave bond for their appearance.

New Defendants Named.

The Batesville bank officials have named the following: persons as party defendants in the suit against St. Joseph church, to secure judgment for the alleged balance due on the new church organ: John Murphy. John J. Cleary, John Tlieobold, L. Willien, Kdward Osborne and A. P. Kivits.

"Buff" Kaufman Better. "Buff" Kaufman returned yesterday from the Martinsville Springs, where he npont several days taking treatment for rheumatism. "They have many amusements at Martinsville, but dancing is one of the pastimes that seems to be barred. Tou see there are too many people crippled with rheumatism to try to dance."

THE POSTMASTER

Shook Off Coffee and Got Well.

It's so easy to shake off coffee ant! coffee diseases when well made Postum Cereal Food Coffee is served in it's place lhat it doesn't take long to tell the tale.

The Postmaster of a flourishing town in Dinwiddie County, Ya., writes, Lj. 1o a short time ago coffee had me a •Teat sufferer from constipation, nervousness and indigestion. About the middle of last July I quit coffee and began using Postum and ever since I bave been improving. My troubles have now quite disappeared. "I attribute my recovery to Postum niid have included several of my friends to try it. You are at liberty to use this." Name given by Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.

There is a reason. Coffee is a.definite poison to many persons and disease sets in if the use of even one. up a day is continued.

When the poison is withdrawn and a jmre food beverage like Postum Food offee used the return to health is natural and prompt if the disease is not too advanced, and many, very many old chronic diseases disappear when the coffee is abandoned and Postum used in its stead. Many of these old diseases are hidden nervous disorders, that is coffee keeps the nerves poisoned and that condition creates and holds disease in some organ of the body. Take away the cause nud give a true, natural nerve rebuilder like Postum and the change is often miraculous.

SMOKER FOR MINERS

C. L. U. OF THIS CITY WILL ENTERTAIN DELEGATES

IN SESSION HERE NEXT WEEK

Convention Will, No Doublt, Accept Invitation to Use C. L. U. Hall For Its Sessions.

The C. L. U. entertainment, committee to nave charge of entertaining delegates to the United Mine Workers convention which meets here next week, held a meeting last night at the C. L. U. building. It was decided to give no banquet to the visitors but to have a light luncheon and smoker at the Central hall some evening during the week. The committee has been called to meet again tonight and further arrangements will be made then.

While there has been no official notification it is probable that the miners will use tne Central Labor Union hall for their convention. The hall has been offered and is generally considered acceptable. Between 250 and 300 delegates are expected to attend the meeting, which begins on Monday and lasts until the end of next week.

The wage scale will occupy much time. It is thought the men will be given an increase in wages of probably 10 percent. There is little probability of there being a hard contest for offices as President Hargraves and Secretary-treasurer Kennedy are both satisfactory men. Each, however, will have some opposition.

Combs, president of the medical staff at the Union hospital, and a member of the health board, that no additional cases of smallpox had been found in the hospital since a report of the presence of the disease was made fifteen days ago and that all patients and attendants had been successfully vaccinated. The quarantine was removed at once and the institution was open again today for the reception of patients. The buildings have been thoroughly fumigated, and it is said there is absolutely no danger of any further spread of the disease. The nurses' cottage, some distance from the hospital is still under quarantine, as four victims of the disease .are confined there.

The health board has received information of a number of patients and inmates of isolated houses not regarding the quarantine as a serious matter. Some of the inmates "have been breaking quarantine by going upon the streets in front of their homes. They- have been ordered to slop leaving the premises and as soon as the quarantine is lifted those guilty of violating the regulations are to be fined.

FEATURE OF THE ELKS' SHOW

Paddock l^ow Has Paul Dresse'r Beat and Wagner and Mendelssohn Lead Him Few Blocks.

The preparations for the Elks' show are going forward rapidly and regular reheaiwals are already being held at the hall in the Grand, opera house building. Arrangements are being made also for the costumes and scenery, Roy Lawrence having gone to Chicago yesterday for that purpose. The dialogue for the second act of the play has arrived, and all cf the music here with the exception of a few songs for the second act.

The idea of the plot is merely to afford a background for the music, and although it is by no means uninteresting the songs are the features of the show. The words of the songs were written by N. J. Davis connected with the firm of Whitmark & Co., in Chicago and the music is written by Frank Whitmark. It is especially pretty music and catchy. For one of the solos of Jack Paddock, he himself is writting the words, taking local events for the subject matter. There was a rehearsal last evening and another will be held Thursday.

PARLOR MINSTRELS

Wabash Cycling Club Preparing for a Pleasant Affair in Its Club Rooms.

The Wabash Cycling club will give an entertainment in the shape of a vaudeville show, three weeks from last Monday night. No definite arrangements have yet been made, in the selection of those who will take part, but a rehearsal will be held tonight with the purpose of deciding definitely on the program.

A stage is being erected in the parlors of the club and the affair will be invitational, owing to the limited capacity of the place. The program Avill open with an old time minstrel first part, and an olio will be provided which will bring out the best talent in the club. Other entertainers not connected with the club will be engaged to participate.

JANITOR JACOBS QUITS.

Throws Aside the Mop to Become a Saloon Keeper and Groceryman —Resigned This Morning.

Mike Jacobs, who has been a janitor at the city building during the past four years resigned this morning, and will, go into the saloon and grocery business at Twenty-Fifth and Poplar streets. It was known that Jacobs has not been pleased with his job since the new administration began and he was made a subordinate, but his resignation came in the nature of a surprise. Until Mr. Steeg's last election, he was chief janitor, but after the last election, he was forced to give way to Henry Schwindy as chief janitor. He was assessed heavily for the campaign fund, and in the face of this fact he regarded his being reduced to ranks as undeserved. On this account he has been indifferent about his work and the result has been considerable complaint. His broth-er-in-law, Mr. Frazier will be his partner in the new venture and the place will be opened some time next week.

SUIT ON NOTE

Paper Was ^Executed More Than a Quarter of a Century Ago— Fairbanks a Defendent.

In the Superior court Mary J. Grosvenor, administrator of the estate of Margaret Grosvenor, begun suit against P. •T. Kaufman and Crawford Fairbanks to foreclose a mortgage given on certain real estate in the city, to the amount of $5,000. The note was given by Mr. Fairbanks in 1877 and to secure it a mortgage was given. In 1886 the real estate was sold to Mr. Kaufman, subject to the mortgage, it is alleged that no part of the note has been, paid and that with interest it now aggregates $8,000 and judgment is asked for the amount. Attorney J. H. Kleiser is made a party defendant in the action for the reason that he holds a lien against the property under mortgage.

ABE LEE SENTENCED

PLEAD GUILTY TO PETTY LARCENY IN CITY COURT

FROM ONE TO THREE YEARS

Offered No Excuse for Robbing His Employer—Bob Miller Will Be Tried, Monday Morning.

Abraham Lee. the negro porter, who stole goods' from the store of his employer, Mr. Lee Goodman, the merchant tailor, this morning pleaded guilty before Judge Rawley in the city court and was sentenced to the Indiana reformatory for from 1 to 3 years. The man employed counsel and it was thought he was going to make a. fight for his freedom, and there was some surprise this morning, when he denied having engaged counsel and said he was ready to plead guilty.

Since the negro' has been arrested and brought back Irom Mattoon, much of the stolen property has been recovered by information furnished by him in the hope that he would escape with a jail sentence. The man began work for Mr. Goodman about the first of the year and was trusted by his employer from the start. He admitted that he began his system of robbery soon after being installed as porter, and kept it up pretty industriously all the time, as he found it "easy money."' While he insists that he has told all, the police still believe he is lying and that many goods have been stolen and sold by him that have not yet been missed by Mr. Goodman. It is said that Lee will testify against Bob Miller, and will pwear that Miller told him to go on stealing the goods and he would sell them for him3 if he would only "split the money.''

Miller was brought up from the jail, but was not placed on trial. His attorney was not ready and the case was continued until Monday morning. The police say that if Miller can be convicted, the others who bought and sold the goods can also be convicted on a similar charge, that of receiving stolen goods, and that if the vesrdict goes against the accused, other arrests win follow, as the west side characters, pawn-broker and tailor who accepted the goods from Lee are equally as guilty as Miller, as they certainly knew Lee did not come in possession of th® property honestly. and made no atCempt to find out whether he stole it «r not.

PITCHER BROWN GOES INTO TRAINING
