Stolen Meat.

On Tuesday night thieves visited the smoke house of William Hammond, four miles east of this city, and stole a barrel of cured meat, consisting of the principal part I two hogs. lie missed the pork on Wednesday morning and informed ■ his neighbors, and they all turned out to linnt the thieves. They found from the tracks in the road that it had been carried away in a wagon headed toward this city. With little trouble they tracked the wagon to our city, and here the police took the mater in hand, and officers Starr and Donohue soon located the plunder in Keightleytown, where they arrested William Hibbs, who confessed to the theft* and said that James Greene was his assistant and accomplice. Greene was arrested in a short time, and both now lan-

guish in the county jail.

The efforts of the neighbors in this matter are worthy of commendation; had they not turned out and tracked the thieves they would not have been located and arrested so speedily their example should be followed. After their arrest It was discovered that these same individuals were also particularly fond of chickens; on Sunday night they drove out north to the farm of Charles Reeves, where they stole a lot of chickens and took them to Roachdale and sold them they told the Roachdale dealers that they were hucksters, and that the linn name was Hibbs & Greene. They are good to “do time

at the pen.”

In the legislative halls of Indiana, on Monday, a war of words, hot and heavy, took piece between T. T. Moore,of this city, and Representative Willoughby, both Republicans. Mr. Moore’s bill requiring foreign insurance companies to abolish their boards for the maintenance of rates had been favorably reported upon by the judiciary committee and, just before adjournment, Mr. Willoughby of the insurance committee moved that the bill be recommitted to his committee. This was vigorously opposed by Mr. Moore and a long debate ensued. It was a battle ofthe insurance lobby against the better element of the house and two dozen members at least took part in the discussion. Mr. Moore told Mr. Willoughby

On Wednesday the neighbors discovered that a thief had broken into the residence of Mrs. Florence Dunbar, on College Avenue,bycutting through the screen door and then cutting out the glass in the rear door ofthe residence. An examination of the premises reveals the fact that the thief had visited the rooms on the lower floor, but the rooms upstairs seem to be unmolested. What was stolen is not known, as Mrs. Dunbar is visiting at Earl Park,

of Ind.

The City Council met on Tuesday evening: the city treasury was reported empty, and the Mayor was authorized to borrow $4,000 at a rate not to exceed 6 per cent, per annum; the committee was not ready to report on the claim of Mrs. Glazebrook and the matter went over to a later date; the Electric Light Company was taken to task because of poor service in street lighting, and a motion prevailed instructing the proper committee to confer with company and give forth the edict that there must be better light or a reduction in pay would result; the

i Ashtons mill Friday, and was ground all that day and Saturday. Six jurymen, three attorneys, a justice of the peace and the counstables were worn dull by the constant grinding. At 11 o’clock Saturday night the jury like “country sausage make out of city butcher’s beef’ disagreed with the attorneys on either side. It was a great ease, but perhaps it is difficult to find out where the lawyer’s “fat hog” comes in. It is this. The costs of the case were about $75. So “Judge” Ashton and the jurors were dead in line. The attorneys, Messrs. Scott, Miller and Moore will get good big fees. When they get them they will swell up and if they do not “stick a fat hog” the Stau-Press will be discontinued. Services at St. John's Episcopal C’uurch on Sunday, Jan. 27, conducted by Rev. Oeo* E.

Miss Jean Nelson’s Sucpess.

The Work in which Miss E. Jean Nelson, ofthls city, is engaged in New York City, amplifies what can be done by well directed and intelligent effort for a worthy cause. The Musical Aid Guild of New York, which Miss Nelson founded, and of which she is the President, is designed to assist young people of personal wortli and talent to obtain a musical education, and is patronized and encouraged by “ many of the wealthiest., best and most cultured people of the East. A great work is already accomplished and the Guild growing is rapidly in strength and usefulness. At its organization a few months ago, one studio was opened, but the work has so grown and expanded that several branches have been opened, and the work still

goes on. Miss Nelson is

than a scheme to kill the bill in his committee and he would have nothing of the' kind done. Mr. Willoughby retorted that the gentleman from Putnam had probably had a fire and not having been paid all the insurance, he thought he was entitled to, had brought in this bill by way of retaliation.

Dr. John preached at Brazil, on Sunday last, before large congregations, and the Brazil papers commend both sermons in the highest manner. If the girls in Brazil Oni.y had big feet you would think they were from Chicago. The following is a special from that city: “At a society meeting of ladies held in this city a few days ago a prize talking match was one of the features. Two well known young society belles were the contestants -one a soprano, the other an alto-the latter being awarded the prize They are said to have worked „*'re!rg&it, as many as J00 words per minute,

he knew positively that they had. So warm did the discussion become that Mr. Moore was compelled to resort to a question of personal privilege to demand an explanation of the insinuations of the gentleman

from Vincennes.

Speaker Adams interposed and, with a smile, said: Well, well, let’s let the matter drop. I guess the gentleman didn’t mean anything. Better

kiss and make up.”

This didn’t quiet it, though, and the two gentlemen engaged in some bitter words and threats after the house adjourned. Mr. Moore told Mr. Willoughby to his face that his motion was Rcthir.g more thass*-* eeheaic to kill the bill in the interest of the in-

going at such a pace that no steno- surance companies, and this accusa-

grnyher could keep within sight,” tion was not denied.

Bun Nichola Says.

An interviewer has seen Bun Nichols, in the Hendricks county jail, and sought informfttion in regard to his arrest on the charge of being a party to the murder of Mrs. Hensfiaw, at Bellville. Nichols is reticent. and has little to say. He denies any : ^ r. n c c t: c a w i t \\ t!u cr i r.i c, uiid :>&>•.. : ‘ w ki the evening before the murder* he attended church, and that after the services at the church he immediately returned to his home

and remained there for the night.

The failure of the of&cct n to make other arrests leads to the belief that the other suspected parties have left for parts unknown, and rumor has it that the flight of certain individuals out in that locality gives credence to the belief that they have participating

knowledge of the crime.

Joke on Orion Beckwith.

Orion Beckwith, boh of B. F. Beckwith, of | this city, who is chief train dispatcher of the west end of the Chicago division Of the Rig j Four, was congratulated many times on Wed-

person so much surprisied as I press and scientists. Mr. Beckwith, it seems that he wus t he vi«> i timof an unfortunately worded message. Assistant Superintendent Houghton was in Indianapolis, having come here with his father, who was ill, and he left Mr. Beckwith in charge. It seems that the stenograhper of the office l>ecame ill and Mr. Beckwith was obliged to get a new one to help out

with the work.

At the general offices Mr. Houghton wired Beckwith: “How is the new girl getting on?’’ The reply came from Beckwith: “All right;

doing nicely.”

From the moment that message flashed over the wires every dispatcher along the line wired in hiH congratulations to Mr. Beckwith on his new acquisition. The first
