PEllNICIOUS LITJKltATUllF.

The Indianapolis People in Bad Kepute— Ruled Out Under aNew Law. Last Saturday Mayor Duncan of this city and the Mayors of Richmond and Muncie prohibted the sale of the Indianapolis People injtheir bailiwicks. Mayor Armstrong of Rushville has joined the procession and ordered the marshal' to notify the local agent of the People that he will be subject to arrest for further circulation of that paper. Their action is ttvken under the new law of 1895, which prohibits the publication and sale of pernicious literature in the state, reading as follows: "Section 1. Be it enacted by the state of Indiana, that it shall be unlawful for any person to sell, or offer for sale, or print or publish, or bring into the state for the purpose of selling, giving away or otherwise disposing of, or to circulate in any way, any paper, book or periodical, the chief feature or characteristic of which is to record the commission of crime, or to display by cut or illustrating crimes committed or the act or pictures of criminals or desperadoes, of men or women in lewd and unbecoming positions or improper dress.

"Section 2. That, any person guilty of t.hia act shall be fined not less than (10 and not more than $200.

Similar notice will be given the agents of the Police Gazette, Iltustrated News and other pictorial papers.

This is a first class law and the officers should see that it is duly enforced. Such filthy papers do a great deal toward con* taminating the mind of callow youths and some gay maidens read them on the sly and are made no better by them. Let the sale of such filthy sheet^be promptly stirpressed and they will noi live long.

FIERCE FOREST FIRES

SEVERAL TOWNS THREATENED.

Farmhouses, Barns, Wells and 31itch Valuable Timber Already Destroyed—Miles of Fire Around Maskeogeon—The Very

Soil Is on Fire—Checked by liain and the Village of Brutus Saved. TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., jJuly 13.— Fierce and damaging fires still rage near Tliompsonville, Frankfort and around Walliu. South of Frankfort farm buiidiugs and valuable timber are beiug destroyed. Arouud Traverse City the lorests are ablaze, but there is yet no serious damage to property excepting standing timber.

Near Soleon and Cedar every available man is out fighting the flames to prevent their communicating with farm buildings and mills. There is a pall of dark smoke shrouding this locality. Between here and Thompsonville much valuable timber is beiug destroyed, but there is no immediate danger of buildings. Thousands of cords of hemlock posts have been burned.

CHECKED BY RAIN.

The Village of Brutus Saved After a Desperate Str uggle. PETOSKEY, Mich., July 13.—Forest fires hate burned up to the village of Brutus on the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad north of here, but the village was saved. The fires burned into the Petoskey Catholic cemetary but the fire department prevented their spreading. There has been heavy loss to crops and standing timber, but rains have now checked the fires.

The summer resort Oden and the village of Conway, on Crooked lake, and the hamlets of Carpenter and Bay Shore, a few miles west of Petoskey, were in great danger. A.t Carpenter several buildings caught fire from sparks, but by the most strenuous efforts of men, women and children the mill, lumber yards and town were saved.

RAIN THE ONLY RELIEF. The Ground So Dry the Very Soil Is Being Burned.

MUSKEOGEON, Mich., July 13.—Within one and one-half miles north of Muskeogeon the forest fires have cut out a burned district six by seven miles in which they have been blazing since Sunday. In the center of the district on the edge of the great Cedar swamp stands the Vanzant sawmill with its stock of logs and lumber which scores of farm6r£'are fighting to save. Unless rain comes it is gone.

The ground is dry and the fire seems to burn the very soil. Thousands of acres of woodland in Laketon, Fruitland and Dalton townships have been burned over. No rain has fallen this year sufficient to dampen the earth an inch.

PRIZE FIGHT BROKEN UP.

PugilistB Find It Very Unpleasant in Williamson County, Ills. MARION, Ills., July 13.—The first and only prize fight in the^history of this (Williamson) county, was attempted yesterday afternoon seven miles northwest of this city. A1 Moore and H. McCoy were in town Thursday and quietly perfected arrangements for the time and place of the battle. The invited parties holding tickets began leaving town early in the morning. The suspicions of the sheriff were aroused and he followed with a posse, arriving on the scene just about the time the seventh round was ended.

The pugilists and some of the bystanders made a break for liberty. Sheriff Parks and deputies arrested about 50 persons and captured the grips of the pugilists, containing letters exposing their backers here and elsewhere. Excitement ran high all day, but all, is quiet now with law and order on top by a rousing majority. Warrants will at once be issued for the parties known to be at the back of the unlawful gathering.

CHEYENNE, Wy., July 13.—United Stages Marshal McDermott is receipt of a telegram from Fort Washakie to the effect that a fight has occurred between the settlers of the Jackson Hole county and and the Bannock Indians in the northern part of Freemont county, and that one has been killed and 15 taken prisoners.

May Lead to a Strike.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 13.—The Indiana miners have notified the operators that they object to the clause in the wage scale agreement which provides that an operator may discharge and hire whom he pleases. There is no serious difficulty in the way of agreeing on a wage scale, but the miners' organization has taken up the grievance of the men in the Clinton district, and the issue is raised as to the right of an employer to discharge men because of their activity as labor leaders. _,

i. Philadelphia Firm Assigns. PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—G. L. Kahn,

wholesale dealer in boys and men's clothing, made an assignment yesterday. The liabilities will amount to about $100,000, and the assets will slightly exceed the liabilities. The failure was brought about by shrinkage of values and difficulties in making collections. The business was a large one and the debtors reside in nearly every state in the Union.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR/

Thousands, Attend the Great Gathering Held in Boston. BOSTON, July 13.—Thousands of delegates to the Christian Endeavor attended three massmeetings in Mechanics' hall and in tents Endeavor and Williston. Unwearied by the fervor of the huge morning meetings in these centers, not tired by the earnest noon rallies in different places, where congregate the toilers of Boston, and unsatisfied with the encouragement gained at the 15 general committee meetings in the afternoon, the Christians gathered, 25,000 strong, at the big meetings at the three great auditoriums in the evening again.

At Mechanics' hall building the address of Rev. A. C. Dixon, D.D., of Brooklyn attracted thousands, while other thousands were drawn to tout Williston by the announcement of an address by Rev. Henry Montgomery of Belfast, one of the ecclesiastical triumvirate of European fame—Spurgeon, Brown and Montgomery. Peunsylvanians were partial to Mechanics' building, because Rev. J. T. McCroory, D.D., of Pittsburg, widely and favorably known throughout the Keystone state, was one of the speakers. Among other good speakers at tent Endeavor was lit-v. Heyl Delk of Hagerstowu, Md., whose subject was "The Centrality of Christian Fellowship.''

At tents Endeavor and Williston the five minute greetings of Endeavorers from the corners of the earth, constituted that part of the program designated "The Parliament of Nations," were both encouraging and instructive, and at sill three meetings the presentation of a banner to the Philadelphia union for best wrork in promoting local friendship was a happy incident.

The other speakers at the meeting were greeted with the warmth that has uninterruptedly been the spirit of the convention, and especially does this apply to the report of the senior mothers, or parent society, which was given at Mechanics' building by Rev. H. W. Kinney of Syracuse. This is comparatively a new feature of the Endeavor society and its increase as indicated in the reports produced marked enthusiasm.

HORRIBLE SPECTACLE.

Murdered Man's Body Hauled to the Police Station by His Murderer. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., July 13.—Peter Winter entered the police station here and said: "I want to give myself up,

I have killed a man, go outside and you will see the body." An officer stepped out and found a horse and phaeton in the street. In the phaeton were a man and a woman and sitting bolt upright/ between them was a corpse. The moutlj was open and blood was dripping frojii the beard. The man was Charles Butler and the woman Mrs. Callaghan. The corpse was that of the latter's son by her first husband and brother of the man who sat beside it.

Butler and Mrs. Callaghan said the murder had been committed in the town of Trumbull. They had ridden to the city by moonlight holding the dead man between them while Winter sat on the stiffened knees of the corpse and drove. The body was taken to the morgue and Winter was locked up. At the inquest he was bound over.

Winter is 65 years old, a farmer, and of good reputation. For several years he has employed Butler on his farm. The agreement was that Butler should receive part of his pay in hard cider. Butler had worked two weeks and had already drank up the supply of hard cider. He demanded more. Winter refused to give liini any more. While Farmer Winter was at supper Butler entered and struck him. Winter ran to an outbuilding. Butler followed and Winter dodged back into the house. So far all the stories agree, Mrs. Winter and all the witnesses but one stated that Winter seized a hickory stick and struck Butler across the chesc. Another lured man named Buck, however, said that Winter struck Butler with an iron bar on the chest and afterward ou the head. Butler was knocked insensible. Winter and his wife tried to revive him but failing they placed him in a phaeton and tlro1^ to Butler's home. Before tliey arrived, he died.

Slmtor Burned.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 18.—Last night the big elevator of the Central Elevator' company, was totally destroyed by fire,, the loss amounting to $100,000. The. elevator was formerly the property of the I., D. and S. railroad, and was located in Haughsville, a suburb. The* heat was so intense that the operations of the fire department were confined to keeping the conflagration from spreading. The loss is pretty well covered by
