Till Eyes on the Capital X* » Inr weeks in roads will toad to Indianapolis. .. TBe State House will be the objective point, as the Legislature there, Thursday,-January 6, and will remain In session for sixty days. Probably the first thing the lawmakers will do after receiving Governor Marshall's message, is to elect a Speaker for both the House and Senate, after which a United States Senator, to succeed Albert J. Beveridge, will be elected. John W. Kern 1b the choice of the Democratic party. TV The- "lawmaking pot” will then begin to boll. The County Local Option Law will undoubtedly be repealed, in favor of a graduated high license law, or a town -and ward local option measure. , _ There will be so much political news of interest to read about between now and April Ist, that no man can afford to be without a daily paper.' To Keep Pace With the Era of Progress one must necessaryily read the newspaper that gives the most intelligence. j The Indianapolis News has a self-imposed duty of furnishing its readers with all the news that money and enterprise can obtain.

A* Washington, Too Congress will convene for a short session In December, and it is probable that some effort will be made to revise certain Items In the tariff which have been found most objectionable, but whether or<"not time will be found to reopen the tariff question is doubtful.

A COLUMBUS OF SPACE.

Continued from Pace Two.

At last the stream became —deep enough to float us. Shall I ever forget that moment? There came a great sudden wave of water, forced 'on by a great slide of ice. We were lifted upon its crest, and away we went! The car was more bouyant than I had believed possible. The sleds, fastened on each side, served to give it a certain stability, and it did not sink as deep as the bottom of the windows. The latter though formed of glass of great thickness, might have been broken by the tossing ice' if they had not been divided into many small panes, separated by bars of steel, which projected a few inches on the outside. “I made that arrangement for meteors,” said Edmund, “but I never thought of ice when I did it.” The increasing force of the current sopn sent us spinning down the valley. We swept around the nearest ice peak on the left, and as we passed under its projecting buttresses a fearful roar above informed uS'YBAt an avalanche was let loose. We could not withdraw our eyes from the window on that side of the car, and presently immense masses of ice came crashing into the water, throwing it over us in floods and half drowning the poor wretches on the sleds. Still, they clung on, fastened together, and we could do nothing to help them. The uproar continued, and the ice came down faster and faster with a deluge of water. The car pitched and rolled, until we could hardly keep our feet, hanging on to every support within reach. Poor Juba was a picture of abject terror. He hung, moaning, to a bench, his hugh eyes aglow with fright. Suddenly the car seemed to be lifted from the water. Then it fell back again and was submerged, so that we were buried In night. We rose again to the surface, and Edmund, glancing from the window, shouted: ' “They’re gone! Heaven have pity on them!” In spite of their fastenings the water and the ice had swept every living soul from the sled on the left! We rushed to the other window. It was the same story there —the sled on that side was empty, too! I saw a furry body tossed in the torrent alongside, and then it disappeared in the raging water. At the same time Edmund exclaimed: “Heaven forgive me for bringing these poor creatures here, to lose them!” (To be continued.)

WIT AND HUMOR

His Kick. , “You remember, *1 reckon,” said the sour-faced man, putting his arms on the showcase, “that I bougnt a clock of you twenty-five years ago? ' “I certainly do not,” answered the elderly Jeweler, “but I’ll take ybur word for it if you say you did.” “Well, I did. It was twenty-five years ago last Monday.” “Renfember what you paid for It?” “Yes; I paid you |10.” “Ever have to get it repairfed?” “It’s a pretty good dock, then, isn’t it?” “Oh, yes; the clock’s all right. But I’ve found out something about it that you didn’t tell me.” “So?” “Yes. When I bought it I asked you how often I would have to wind it. “Well?” "Well, I’ve Just found out that it You said once a week.” go eight days without winding.” “Certainly; most clocks are eightday That ! s- -te-fdlo w for your forgetting to wind it sometimes.” “I never forgot to wind it, sir. Regularly every Monday morning for. 25 years I’ve wound that clock. That makes fifty-two times a year. If I had known it would go eight days I would have had to wind it only fortysix times a year. It takes me about two minutes to wind it up. I’ve wasted twelve minutes every year on the thing. See! in twenty-five years I’ve put in 300 minutes, of five hours, the half of a man’s working day, standing on a chair and winding up that blamed old clock when it didn’t need winding.”

“Well,” said the stupefied jeweler, “what do you want me to do about "it?” “Nothing, sir. I only wanted you to know about it. That’s all. When you sell an eight-day clock to a man you ought to tell him it’s an eight-day clock. Good day, sir.” Straightening himself up and pulling his hat brim down in front, he turned on his heel and stalked out of the store with the air of a man with a grouch who had freed his mind. —Chicago Tribune.

Dehorlty, examiner for the State Board of Accounts, and Amos W. Butler, secretary of the Board of State Charities, have sent out a circular letter to county sheriffs which la expected to correct some mistaken impressions about the “In and out” fee law. Mr. Dehorlty and Mr. Butler have received frequent requests for an explanation. The state board of ac-* counts holds that the sheriff of a county la not entitled to a “key" fee or “in and out” fee every time he releases a prisoner to go to court or lets him In when he returns therefrom. 'The law, as we understand it,” says Mr. Dehorlty, "provides for an 'in’ fee when the prisoner is legally admitted to jail and an ‘out’ fee when the prisoner is released In the manner provided by law. Sheriffs are not entitled to an 'ln and out’ fee or to charge for board when persons are not legally admitted to Jail, such as receiving and boarding tramps who are not arrested.
