Seid, bartender in Hill's saloon, on Blako street, was arrested yesterday for selling liquor without a city license. This is an arrest under the new license ordinance, as. after due notification of the increase of tho liceje fee, but two saloonke'pers. Dark and Seiner, have complied with it, and they did it under protest. Seid was arrested in order that his might be made a test case. But as tho Supreme Court has already decided against the saloon-keepers in the Montgomery county cae in this question of additional license, after they had tendered the old feo of $100, it is not fiard to say what the result of tho issue will be. . An Kxpfrimrnt Proposed. West Indianapolis proposes to experiment with an electric railway connection with the city. Its Council has passed a resolution to that effect, and it is thought the Julien storage system will be tried.

A QUESTION OF TEXT-BOOKS

Some Thing3 the Commission Took Time to Consider Before Acting Definitely. Another Opinion from the Attorney-General The So-Called Indiana Series to Be the Subject of a Report This Morning. The State Board of Education, sitting as a board of text-book commissioners, met yesterday afternoon in tho rooms oft ho Superintendent of Public Instruction. The superintendent being absent. Professor Parsons, of tLe State Normal School at Terre Haute, was called to preside. Governor Hovey came in soon after and took his place at the large table about which the members of the board had gathered. These, in addition to those already named, were President Jordan, of the State University, Professor Wiley, superintendent of tho public schools of Ttrre Haute, and Profes sor Layne, superintendent of the public schools of Evansville. A number of school-book men and representatives of tjublishers of school books were nresent. nmnncr whnm wrn Mpsara. Bowen and Merrill, of the Howen-Merrill Company, who have submitted a bid for copy books; Prof. Carroll, author of a grammar; Cyrus Smith, representating the publishing house of A. S.Barnes &. Co.; Prof, Michaels, of Philadelphia, Pa., author of n. system of penmanship; Prof. Ellsworth, author of a series of copy book i; aiui. jiugau, or r?t. xouis, autuor oi a grammar, and Edward Hawkins, of this city, and R. C. Bell, of Fort Wayne, repre-ni-jiiiug mo nynuicaie oi mmuieinen known as publishers of the Indiana series of school books. It was soon made manifest that board did not intend to do anything of con sequence at tno aiternoon meeting. The minutes ot tno nrecedinar session were read by Professor Jones. This took con siderable time, as the minutes were long, but th members arDeared elad of an op portunity to get away with tho time. A desultory conversation took place among the members, as to whether additional advertisements could be mado for bids, and Dr. Jordan wrote a question for submission to the Attorney-eeneral. asking whether tho text-book board had the riant to use any part of the money appropriated A ' - ior me use ot the State Hoard ot Education for the purpose of advertising for bids under the school-book law. Tho motion to submit the question passed, and the matter was sent to the Attorney-general. Che presiding officer asked if the board desired to proceed to the consideration of any proposals. Prof. Lajne favored a night sessionmnd asked if tho Governor could be ? resent, but that officer, who is surlering rom rheumatism, had doubts about it. Tho Professor, sneaking of tho absence of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who was expected home on the C p. M. train, favored an adjournment until evening, so that officer could be present. Prof. Jones said that while, perhaps, every one, as he "was, was ready to report, there had been no organized move to make such report, and believing this should be done urged tho necessity of an evenincr meeting for consultation. The board then adjourned to meet at v o'clock this morning, to meet, however, in the meantime, as a committee. receive tho opinion of tho Attorney-general on tne question propounded, and agreo upon a report for the session to-day. Alter the adjournment of the afternoon meeting, the reporter conversed with some of the members, and two or three prominent educators. One of tho latter, who has great confidence in the judgment of the commi? feion. says ho has no doubt that ail or nearly all of the books of the Indiana syndicate will bo declared not up to standard. "lucj cannot do otherwise, 7 said ho. "in tho face of facts. These men have made, I understand, a careful comparison of tho go-called Indiaua series and tho standards required by tho law, and the difference is as great as between a genuine bank-note and a counterfeit. Tho syndi cate books aro gotten up like the razors spoken of by Peter Parley, to sell but 1 have faith to believe that they will not be foisted upon the school chil dren of Indiana. I have talked with two of the members of tho board and they admitted to mo that tho hooka, so far as they had then examined them, were not up to. standard. This was particularly true in the caso of the readers and the spelling book." Another gentleman said that he. too. had conversed with some of the members, and while they had not said what they would do he gathered from expressions let fall that they were much averso to substituting a poorer grade ot text-books for those now in use, and that as educators they felt that pupilsshould be given tho best text-books that money could buy. From remarks let fall yesterday afternoon at the session of tho hoard by two or three of tho members who said they had already mado up their minds, it is inferred that they had decided against tho books.with perhaps one or two exceptions. Following tho afternoon adjournment the members were ex ceedingly cautious in what they said. T cannot give my individual opinion," said President Jordan, of the Stato University, when asked by tho reporter: 4'at least not until we reach au opinion whero we can all agree. It is a matter of considerable importance, and it is better to say nothing until we are entirely through." Professor Parsons, who was present, nodded his head in acquiescence, and President Jordan continued: "Each of five of us have been for a week reading and examining these books, but we have had no opportunity to compare notes with each other. Tho books examined are first, second, third, fourth and fifth readers, two geographies, two arithmetics, one spelling dook, six copy books and thre sets of manuscripts for grammers. Tho gramniers are in print, are books that have been in use, but are to bo treated as manuscript." The reporter wanted to know tho reason for this. President Jordan said the idea was that if any one of them was adopted by tho board it would be reprinted, given a new form, and name. "We want to see," ho said, in conclusion, "if these books reach the standard, and tho law fixes that standard not we." At 8 o'clock last evening the board met as a committee, in a room in the Bates House, with closed doors, no one but members of tho board being admitted. Neither Governor Hovey nor Superintendent La Folletto was E resent. The board was in session two ours. Attorney-general Michencr's answer to tho question submitted to him in the afternoon was laid before them. He gave it as his opinion that the text-book commission had no right to use the funds appropriated for the State Board of Education; that the funds were separate and distinct. Tho commissioners evidently were in mind to readvertise, but are estopped from so doing by this opinion. That they desired to readvertise is sufficient proof of theirdissatbfactiou with the books and bids that are before them. As the commissioners came out of the room, after their long session, oue of thcra was asked what conclusion had been reached and what would be the report in the morning. Ho replied that tho absence of the Governor and Superintendent IaFollette had cut sh. rtthe nizo of the body, and that the members all thought it best not to say anything until tho report was made at 0 o'clock this morning. This gentleman said that they had been depended upon to read tho text-books, but there were other questions unsolved in which the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction had as much to say as auy one. Hell Will Kevise If. Tho suggestion made tho other day by the Journal that ex-United States Marshal Hawkins should write the grammar for tho "Indiana Series" is relished by all the mem bers of the syndicate, and not the least by Mr. Hawkins himself. 'Til write the gram ma r," quoth he. "Why not? Can't I get bBell to revise it P Bob Yfew of the County Fresn. Huntington Herald: Much as it may bo desired to break up tho school-book monopoly, it is doubtful if the adoption of such a set of books will bo consented toby the Stato commissioners who havo tho matter under consideration. New Castle Courier. Tho excellent school system of Indiana is in imminent danger. The real intent of the school-book law passed bv the late Legislature is becominir apparent. It waft framed to exclude stand ard text-books ard to admit worthless trash, for tho benefit of a Stato ring, which is now fully organized and backed by amplo capital. Free text-books for the cchuoh does not mean rejected and worth-

less old publications, bnt books approved

by progressive educators, books adapted to this day and date. Down with the comuine. Greenfield Republican: It would bo bad for the children of this State to have a set of books fastened upon them by a company worse than the present one. because they do not furnish as good books. We want cheaper books, but we want good ones, and there is no doubt but that we will have them. Tho present system is a bad one, and should be and will be broken, bnt no not let us make tne evil worse uy giving tho children bad books. Keudallville Standard: Inasmuch as tho law requires that bids shall be received from publishers, authors and compilers, and no others, there can bo but one way to look at this Indiana School-book Company, and that is decidcly askance. The company seems merely to oe acting as accents for a St. Louis publishing-house. We cannot believe that Uoosiers are quite ready to placo their children on such an educational diet as is ottered in this instance, nor are they willing that a gigantic ring shall be built on the names of any other ring which may V A t 1 i nave cxisica ueiore it. TIIE HILITIA ENCAMPMENT. An Order Relative to Movement of Companies and Regiments for Camp Service. Adjutant-general Buckle, on the order of tho Governor, has issued a general order relative to details of preparation for the encampment of the Indiana Legion that is to he held hero July 23 to 28 inclusive. Tho place selected is Armstrong farm, near North Indianapolis, and for that destina tion commanding officers will put their commands in readiness to movo on tho first trains on the 22d inst., via routes and at hours to be hereafter specially designated. Transportation and subsistence will be furnished by the State, and officers and men will be paid $1 for each day in which there is no absence from any prescribed roll-caU, drill, duty, or ceremony, besides being furnished one cook for each company, who will also bo allowed the prescribed per diem, and authorized servants for officers. Transportation and subsistence will also be given to officers and men on the designated trains on tho of July, and at the breaking up of camp, but at no other time, except upon surgeon's certificate. No uniform will be permitted to be worn in camp, except the prescribed Stato uniform, and no article ot citizen's clothing will bo permitted to bo brought into camp by olhcers or men. Each man must be provided with at least two suits of underclothing and one blanket or comfort. Cooking utensils will be issued by the quartermaster-general, upon approved requisitions, to tho companies which havo not heretofore received them, but companies must, as heretofore, provide themselves with tin plates, tin cup, knife, fork and spoon. Regimental and company commanders are instructed not to uring into camp any but regularly enlisted members of tho Indiana Legion, except tho authorized company cooks and officers' servants, as no other persons will be permitted to remain in camp. No men recruited after June 15, 18i?. will be permitted to be brought iuto camp unless by special permission. Compauy commanders are ordered to forward immediately a memorandum of cooking utensils required. Commissioned by the Governor. The Governor yesterday issued commissions to George F. Zimmerman, Alvin J. Hovey and Harry Wcisinger, captain, first and socond lieutenant, respectively, of Compauy H, First Regiment Indiana Legion. 1 he company is a Mount V ernon organiza tion. Duko Nichelson, of Evansville, has been appointed an aid-de-eamp on tho Governor's stall', with the rank of major. GOOD FOR TIIE FARMER. The Hot Weather Is TVhat They nave Been Need ing to Help Along the Corn and Other Crops. Yesterday there was a continuation of tho hot weather that began on Sunday. Tho sun poured his beams down upon the pavement in such a fashion as to make al most everybody desert tho sunny side of tho street, and seek the protection of tho shade wherever such a luxury was to bo had. Tho number of umbrellas, parasols and other means of keeping otf the attacks of the hot rays showed that these mid summer days were in keeping with tho season. Likewise there were tho flannel shirt and light coat, without the usually accompanying vest, aflordiug abundant proof that people wero just then most busily engaged in trying to keep cool. However unpleasant it may have, been for the comfort of man and beast it was doing great good for the crops. Mr. Conner, of tho Indiana Farmer, said the hot weather was the verv thine needed bv the farmers. On being asked what was the prospect for corn in tne btate, so far as he bad neard, bo said: 'lhe prospect for a good crop is just now much better than it was two weeks ago, thanks to the present favorable weather. The cool, wet days of spring and first part of summer made the corn backward, and very much lessened the prospect for a good yield. But not fifteen minutes ago an intelligent farmer from Montgomery county told me that the corn is coming out wonderfully under present favorable influences, and while the crop will not bo so good as last ycar.it will at least be fair. In Tipton county there had been so much rain up to within a week aco. that much of the corn .could not receive its first plowing, but under the present conditions tho farmers can soon get to their work." "What is the prospect foroats and wheat?" "Well, so far as 1 havo learned, oats aro good only in spots over the State, but regarding it I cannot 6ay much, since I shall not make an estimato of it uutil the latter Jart of this mouth. The wheat will be good lespito the discouragingreports that at first came in. It was thought by many that it had been damaged a great deal by tho wet weather, but news from tho southern part of the State, where threshing is now going on, indicates that there will be from twothirds to three-fourths of a crop. In my iudarment the yield will be about 50,000,000 bushels this year. Of course that will not compare with the yield of last year, but then that was an extraordinary one. Never before has Indiana produced so much wheat as last year. But while wheat will bo good, hay promises an excellent harvest." At the signal service office a fatherly sort of smile overspread the features of Mr. Wappeuhans on hearing the remark that it was a hot day. "Oh, no! It is not hot; it only seems so. The thermometer registers only ifci0, and that is not bad. Now if it were here as it was In Nebraska tho other day, then you might say something. Out there in several places the thermometer registered 10- and 10C. That's warm for you, sure enough. However, in twoorthree davs it will bo cooler, so just be patient a little while." A New Hank Proposed. It is reported that capitalists from other cities contemplate the establishment of a new national bank in the city, and the scheme, if it materializes, will not be discouraged by local bankers. Business men are not slow in expressing it as their opinion that tho present banking capital coald be increased to advantage. "We haven't half tho number of banks that wo should have," said one last night, "and I for one would welcome this undertaking. Wo need the additional stimulus it would give, and 1 know of no objections that could be raised." Another citizen talked with suggested tho feasibility of all of the national batiks in the city, four in number, uniting andlcontrolling one capital stock. This, he thought, would bo an advantage over the present system. AU Qualified to Serve. Lester F. Baker was yesterday commissioned as trustee of the Northern Hospital for tho Insauc. All of the trustees and directors elected by the last Legislature have been thus qualified on their bonds boin' approved to fulfill tho duties of their ohiccs. Charles E. Haugh. as treasurer of tTie trustees of the Institution for tho Deaf and Dumb, has tiled his bond with the Secretary of State. It is for50,0O0. and nigucd us sureties by Leauder A. Fulmer, James end John Johnson, John W. Minor and Hoyden S. Bi&ham. '

OBJECT TO TnE rOLICI. The Trust Plan Is All Bight, but Stockholders Think They Have Not Been Treated Fairly. The sentiments as quoted from some of the 'Btockholders in the Consumers' Trust Company yesterday seems to have been ready for publicit for some time back, if the confirmation thereof by tho expressions of others interested can be taken as proof. While no one is inclined to find fault with tho basis upon which the company is organized, no small amount of censure is to be heard regarding the policy of the management from two 6tand-pointa. These are, in brief, the apparent tendency to neglect the provisions of contracts and the unfortunate condition of being controlled, as it is alleged, by tho dictates of a single man. "The reason why

so many of us feel sore toward the Trust," said one of. its oldest supporters, "is the way wo were treated in the start. Tho company came to the citizens and asked for patronage. We were fair and gave it. and two or three directors went East and secured their credit upon tho contracts that we had made. I refer, when I say we, to a number of citizens who joined in the enterprise right in the start, and gave their inflnence and money to aid it. Now, after our names were used and the credits secured, tho company takes a stand here, receives an immense amount of local patronage, and, apparently has a prosperous outlook before it. But what course did it pursuef Why. it breaks its contracts from the first, and thenturus around aud tiles suit against some of tho very men on whoso names its credit was secured." "Is the failure of the company, then, to keep its contracts at the bottom of tho whole thing?" was asked. "Yes; if it hadn't been for that almost all of tho money would have been paid in. Take my case, for example. I took four shares, and paid Sj'JO cash down on them. The company agreed to furnish mo gas by a certain date, but it didn't. I was willing to wait, but still no gas, and I concluded that unless tho company did as it agreed I was justified in withholding my part of the contract. The fact about the gas-supply matter was that on all tho streets where the Indianapolis company had lines the Trust was only too glad to lay competing lines; but where it was to be the ouly company on a street, it didn't seem to be so quick about getting into operation. The Trust is to-day being run by one man. Everything is subject to his orders, and the people have to abide by them. Again I say that I have no fault to find with the Trust as a company, but I have every objection in the world to this system of being dictated to by a single individual." Matthew M. Cummings is another citizen who is enjoying the prospect of a suit from the compauy, and his sentiments, as expressed to a reporter, are but a repetition of those encountered in all the cases. "When I was asked to take some stock," he said, "I wanted to see the company succeed and I subscribed for two shares. But, as 1 was a member of the City Council at the time I happened to think afterward that it might not look well for me to hold shares in n corporation upon whoso rights I would be called upon to vote, and so I notified tho company that I would liko to bo relieved, stating my reasons. I supposed the matter was settled, for 1 received no reply, but tho other day I received a notice of my delinquency. I do not intend to pay it. I shall light the case if it costs me four times as much as my shares are worth, and I shall win, too, for I havo all tho evidence on my side." "Did the company keep its contract with von?" v "Not altogether. It agreed to furnish me with gas by a certain time, but there wero two months right in the dead of win ter that I was without gas, and long after tho time specified in my contract. But even if these contracts had been kept, there is another point upon which the com pany has violated the law time after time. I helped to frame the ordinance regulating the operations of natural-gas companies, and it says distinctly that all connections of service pipes to tne con sumer's house must be made free of charge. The Trust to-day charges 12 for these con nections in advance. Its managers say, iu defense, that the 12 is immediately re funded in ifas. but that really makes no diflercnce. Suppose a working man has but one stove in his house that burns but $0 worth of gas in a year. If he patronizes tho 1 rust ho must pay fcw cash down before be can nave a nre. Uiis. l claim, is a violation of the law in every sense of the word." John P. Frcnzel, the president of tho board of directors of the Trust, was called ou, but he refused to speak upon the sub ject of tho company's alleged failure to eep its contracts. ELECTRICITY AND POLITICS. ABoctor Astonishes a Few Members of the Hendricks Club by Talking to Them on Science. : Out of the several thousand Democratic voters in this city'only twelve considered. the meeting of tho Hendricks Club, last night, of sufficient importance to attend. This loyal dozen scattered themselves throughout the club-room at intervals'convicntly near the windows, and such re marks as "a political speech on a night like this, it 6ecms to me, is cruelty to animals," were more numerous than there were per sons to' u Iter them. Tho olficersof the club, however, thoucht otherwise, and Dr. C. C. Sharp was introduced to deliver, as was supposed, an oration on some subject ap propriate to Democratic policy. Unrolling a fifty-page manuscript, he astonished bis hearers bv aunounciue his subject as "Tho Electrical Theory of the Universe." With their faces covered with disgust and perspiration, the twelve apos tles of Democracy were carried, not through the intricate principles of tarifl reform, but through all the complicated relations of electricity to tho world, the universe, and even to eternity. The lecturer considered that in the universe only three factors ex ist electrical life, force and matter which constituted his main proposition. Every thing is governed by law, ne conceded, but by electrical law. While his theories ehowed considerable study and care, his hearers departed feeling that their political natures had not been very extensively ben efited by science on a July evening, ii i Trustees of Butler University. The trustees of Butler University hold their usual July session this morning, at 11 o'clock, in the parlors of the Central Christian Church. This meeting promises to be one of more than usual importance for the university, inasmuch as 6ome im portant additions and changes are to be passed upon by the directors. Owing to the fact that the property donated to the school for tho purpose of establishing a Uible chair has been sold, it becomes neces sary to elect tho required professor. This is to be the beginning of tho thorough theoloeical school that the board hopes to have in operation before a great while. Besides this, the employment of a number of tutors and sub-instructors is contemplated. The university seems, just at pres ent, to have a brighter outlook in its aiiairs than it has had for a number of years. The prenaraterv department has been separated from the collego proper, and for the use of this department a handsome new building is to be erected and ready for use by the onenintr of school, in September. 1WH).
