PRESENT FOR THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT

Executive of the State Normal at Terre

Haute Remembered on His

Twenty-fifth Anniversary.

Superintendent W. C. Goble went to Terre Haute Tuesday to participate in the commencement exercises of Indiana's great normal school. The exercises this year are unusual. It is the 25th. anniversary of the election of Dr. Parsons to the presidency of that institution. The Alumni have raised a fund of $600 and have ordered a life size painting of President Parsons excuted by Artist Steele of Indianapolis. This cost $450 framed, and will be presented by the Alumni to the school. A loving cup costing $150 will also be presented to the president. Superintendent Goble is one of the committee which has had charge of the work of selecting the presents and raising the money for them.

President Parsons was one of the first body of students to enter the institution and has been identified with the schol ever since. No school of advanced learning in Indiana has accomplished more than the State normal, and none of them has been nearer the people of the whole state in its influence. Hundreds of successful teachers have gone from that school into the different schools of the state teaching grades from the ditsrict school to superintendences.

Receipts of cattle were the largest since January, and the market was in a semi-demoralized condition. Many cattle of all kinds did not receive a bid and those that were sold went at a decline of fifteen to twenty-five cents. It was the opinion of some dealers that there were enough cattle carried over to meet the requirements the rest of the week unless there is a decided improvement in the situation. Bulls were weak to lower and calves mostly 25c lower.

The receipts of sheep and lambs were about as large relatively as usual in proportion to the arrivals of other kinds of stock. Better quality was represented than for a few days, and with a steady demand, the market was active at prices of the last few days. Spring lambs sold for $5.00 to $7.50, yearlings for $4.50 to $6.50 and sheep for $1.50 to $4.50.

All the supply was not placed at the decline, which: is unusual. In the first round sales were $9.50, and later almost an equal proportion sold at $9.45, representing a decline of nearly 20c.

Suffering Public Determines to Do

Away With Saturday Night Nuis

ance and State Assists.

The Bedouin who goes to Indianapolis out of dry territory, absorbs delirious excitement of a liquid sort, and then consigns himself and his tidal wave of joy by trolly or steam road, outward from Indianapolis towards his home, has caused the traveling public so much annoyance and disgust, as well as discomfort and uneasiness, that the State of Indiana has been oalled on to remedy the increasing evil.

The State board of health, through Dr. J. N. Hurty, State health commissioner, has obtained an agreement from railroads and interurban companies to the effect that the rule against taking drunken men on trains and on cars shall be strictly enforced hereafter.

The public is to be protected against the luscious and over-brimming jag against the talkative and confidential jag, and against the flght-hunt-ing tribe of drunken rowdies. The man with a liquor-lined suit case, journeying from the oasis to the waiting ones far out on the hot flats, must comport himself with utmost dignity if he is to travel by common oarrier.

Complaints have poured in from all directions against the bootleggers and their misconduct. Cars have been made unfit for human occupancy, and the lives of innocent persons have been imperiled, while order on late trains and cars has been jeopardized with almost nightly frequency. Railroad companies and traction companies are assuring Commissioner Hurty that these men will be barred from passage in future.

So far as the various roads out of Indianapolis are concerned, the man who journeys there and becomes intoxicated, must linger there until he has become sober. The roads and the State board of health, and the ineensed traveling public give it out cold that Indianapolis must handle the men who are made drunk within her gates.

As far as possible, these selections wiil be made from the books that are afready in general use. A few selections not fottttd in these books may be obtained in ther 3 or 5-cent classics. The tentative list prepared by Mr. Aley, but in which some changes may yet be made as follows: "Vision of SirLaunfal," "SnowBound," "Great Stone Face," "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," "Evangeline," "Merchant of Venice," "Enoeh Arden," "King of Golden River" and "Horatius at the Bridge."
