News.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 27.—The Nicholson temperance bill passed the house of representatives yesterday by a vote of 75 to 20. It is a very stringent measure, although it lost some of its l'oree by being amended. It provides for local option in this -way: That a majority petition against a saloon in a certain community AS-ill prevent one being established there for two years. It- provides against music in saloons and saloons can not bo run in connection with any other business, a direct blow at the restaurant- with liar attachments. It also does away with screens and all saloons must be operated on the first floor, a provision to knock out wmerooins. The bill will have trouble in passing the' senate.

Those who vored for the measure were: Adams of Parke, Allen. Allison, Barber, Becker, Billingslv, Binkley, Blakeley, Blue, Bohaiinan, Booiier, Bard well, Coates, Colley, Crozier, Dalrnan, Dinwiddle, Duncan, Floyd, Fowler, Gaither, Garriott, Gregg, Griffin, Gries, Hanirick, Iiann, Harris, Harrison of Shelby, Harrison of Elkhart and Kosciusko Hosier, Higbee, Howe, Hundley, Hunter, Jackson, Kelly, Leedy, Kell, Longwell, Loring, MoBeth, McCaskey, McGeath, Mcintosh, McCrea, Melendy, Merritt, Miller, Moore, Newhouse, Nicholson, Pettit, Poindexter, Porter, Remy, Reynolds. Robinson, Ross, Simons, Smith of Huntington, Smith of Tipton, Stakebake, Stewart, Stetler, Stutesman, Swope, Terhune, Thomas, Yanderseil, Welch, White, Williams, Willis and Woodruff.

Those who voted against the bill "were: Bobilya, Culbert, Davis, Farrell, Fei t, Finkbinor, Gibson, Holloway, Hunt, Kamp, Laid low, Lambert, McGregi i, O'Brien, Remington, Spauldiug, Stotsenberg, Vonnegut, Willoughby, Wilson.

The house passed Yanarsdell's bill, which prohibits the widening of highways which have been of a certain width for 20 years.

The house passed the new house mortgage exemption bill, notwithstanding the fact that many members protested against it as an extremely dangerous piece of legislation. The house also passed the bill to establish a superior court to sit in Hammond, Valparaiso, and Michigan City.

The house at its night- session passed the Republican caucus congressional apportionment bill at a time when few Of the opponents of the bill were present. Since its adoption by the caucus there has been such opposition to it that it was feared it would be defeated, and this plan was resorted to. The bill places Watson in the same district with Johnson, puis Henley and Hatch together, and kills Overstreet oil: Inputting liim in the Indianapolis district. Traeewell is placed in a district (5,00. Democratic, while Hardy is also snowed under. The Second, Third and Fourth districts are heavily Democratic, the Sixth, Eighth. Ninth. Eleventh and Twelfth are heavily Republican, while the rest are lei't domainl. The Third district is complaining of the action, of (lie caucus.

The senate passed a number of bills ami among them were two important measures, une repealing an objectionable section in the co-employes liability act, so obnoxious to labor interests and the Stuart election expenses bill. It also passed Senator Barnes' bill for the suppression of sensational literature.

The senate passed a bill allowing the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, to hold land and to erect a building. It is understood that a temple will be built.

An effort was made to hustle the Nicholson temperance bill through the -senate under suspension rules, but this failed also by an overwhelming vote, and the bill went to the committee on temperance, which is decidedly unfriendly to it.

A Veteran of Three Wars.

Mr. Luther Calvin, of Bloomington, 111., is a guest of Mr. John Samuels. We had the pleasure of meeting the old veteran this morning aud he is indeed a modest and unassuriug gentleman who has his honor easily for we indeed consider a man who has honorably served his country through three wars as one full of honor. Mr. Calvin was born in 1811 and can remember the rejoicing that occurred over General Packentram's surrender to General Andrew Jackson in 1815. At the close of the war of 1812, he enlisted in the Black Hawk Indian war of 1832 and wras thirteenth Lieutenant in the company of which Abiaham Lincoln was Captain. Think of such an intimate association with that glorious ai)d heroic man, America's grandest and noblest man the martyr Lincoln Mi. Calvin was a member of the seventh Illinois infantry,was with General Taylor at B'-iene Vista and later marched with General Scott to the city of Mexico, the "city of the Sun" in the land of the Montezumas. The lire of patriotism still burned in the breast of Mr. Caivin in 1801 and enlisting in the fifty-second Illinois he served four years during the rebellion fighting for his country. He is now a hale and hearty old gentleman of eighty-lour and sound in both body and mind and bids fair to enjoy many more years of life and we trust they may be full of joy, happiness and proeperiij.
