THE PRICE INDUCEMENT During the past ten days has been great pressing you know to what degreebut now the necessity for i - quick sales, and the fact that they are only dress lengths, has lowered even our former prices considerably. PettisDryGoodsCo DEMAND A LIQUOK LAW NICHOLSON DILL KOORSGD HV CITIZENS LAST MGIIT. Mayor Denny, Father Bessunle, Mr. Aicb.ola.on.aud Other Speak In Its Fnvor MlnlMtertt' . Action. Ono hundred Indianapolis citizens, most of whom were voters, met at the Merldiantreet Church last night. They discussed the a resolution Indorsing, the provisions of the Nicholson bill, now pending tu the Legislature. Mayor Denny presided and briefly outlined the purpose of the gathering. ' cletj." he said at the start. "Every father tinci mother, every citizen, old anl young, rich or poor, la Interested In It. For twenty years the State has had a law upon Its .books with which the Legislature had little to do. This liquor law is a novel one. It was prepared by a certain class and was passed by the 'Legislature In the interest of that viaos ana no other. The law that has. for twenty years regulated the sale of liquor was prepared by the attorney for the Liquor League of Indiana, Its passage was secured by that league. In 1SS1 It was amended and the most wholesome provisions stricken out. The people of this State who had anything to do with its passage now realize that it was shrewdly prepared and was intended to deceive, It was meant to make the average 'citizen believe that it was a fairly good thing for society. Now it cannot be enforced. I have been a close observer of the workings of. this liquor law, both as an official vincii. mis city 11 nas Deen the hardest task in the world to make even a respectable showing toward the enforcement of this law. The time has come when the citizens of the State ought to have something to, do with the laws. I do not believe ;? time c6ul? .be more favorable to change this disgraceful law, so that society will have, some protection, instead of the saloon keeper having it alUThis Nicholson bill. I believe, is one that every citizen of Indiana, no matter what his business may be can sanction and approve. It seems to me that JEfnf ture -V!1 aa 11 does. the sentiment of the people into consideration, ought 1v?e y paS9 thfs measure or some other that will put the law we have on the statute books into a shape to be enforced Our ; representatives in the Legislature, are anil riVIxaifA mI.I......

Nicholson naUlh?r of he. blU ln Question? who spoke briefly of its merits. He felt that there is a sentiment over the State which favored better government and purer citizenship, r . 'f-'w1?? "f '"the fact." he continued, that for the last decade a stirlt nf iih lill.m r ' u n n .n j - , . ..uc cviicintLcru io prevail tnrousrhout k! gun?n" disposition to get away from the Puritanism of the past, a seeking to have a literal roto-n or r,. ., .. lY and laws are concerned. This led to certain measures which have taken the form of resistance to the law. Now there is a wave of demand for better government all over the country. . I would to God there were a million Dr. Parkhursts that might rise up in the land and bring: beore the people the evidence Of guilt and corruption. in our totate the saloon 1 entrenched behind n adroit law that it seems almost lmifi?ible to. enforce. The question is, JoHiVth'ovSeol,?,of.lncliana nave tne needed relief. This bill alms to come in as supplementary to the present law in a May i hat will give the relief needed. I have heard It said, and I believe it to be true, that It is easier to convict a man of murder In Indiana than of the illegal sale of liquor." Mr. Nicholson referred to the ninth section of his bill as one which vould afford relief to neighborhoods. There was nothing un-American about it because it is along the line of the rule of the majority, he paid. Rev. Dr. Haines, In a short address, said lie was satisfied that if the legislators could understand the sentiment over the State favoring the Nicholson bill they would do something. He had understood that the politicians were in despair, and that they claimed they could do nothing. The speaker, thought they should be made to understand that they must do i-omething: they would be whipped into it finally. Rev. C. N. Sims, pastor of the Merldlanutree t M. E. Church, had seen the Mayor and the city administration so manifestly honest and insistent in their efforts to enforce the law that exist that very honest impulse of his soul had gone out in sympathy. He was Ui favor of either restricting the saloons or allowing thorn license free and untrar.imeled. Captain Ell Rltter said that the friends TAKE STEPS in time, if you are a sufferer from that scourge ' of humanity known as consumption, ana j can be cured. There the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses totli fact that, in all its early sitaces.1 consumotion is a curable disease. Not every case, but a . large percentage of eases, and we believe, fully' 98 per cent... are cured by Dr. .Pierce' Golden Medieul Dis covery, even afrr the disease lias progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering; cough with copious expectoration (including1 tu-' bercular matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us is cured by "Golden Mcd- . icwl Discovery ? were geuuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced borne physicians, who have no interest' whatever in misrepresenting them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,' but who have been forced to coufess that it surpasses, in curative power over this . fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty codliver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, bad been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various reparations of the liypophospbites had also been faithfully tried in vain. , - The photographs of a large number of tliostr cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 16a ; pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt ot address and six cent in stamps.

: sending out copies of the Nicholson bill and " - -"" .- oiguvu iiiv iai nan wvi t good fruit. He had received many of the petitions bearing a great many signatures from different portions of the- State. The faculty, and students of Earlham College naa signed. It and the faculty and nearly all of the voters ot Butter University favored the passage of the bill. At the conclusion of Captain ' Rltter remarks a substantial ,sum was collected to assist ln the work. Rev. Father Bessonies was an enthusiastic Indorser of the bill. He had grave fears, however, about its passage. Last week he spent a day in the Senate and had been Informed by. the Lieutenant Governor that but two members of the temperance committee of nine favored Its passage. Father Bessonies thought if the Nicholson bill was defeated something ought to be done toward regulating the wine rooms and low groggeries. The Rev. Mr. Barth, pastor of one of the German churches, spoke ln defense of the German population. He said his people favored the measures set out in the Nicholson bill; that it was a mistake to suppose the German vote depended upon the defeat of the bill. At the close of the meeting Judge R. N. Lamb submitted the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That we approve the Nicholson bill (House bill No. 165). and we respectfully urge our Senators and Representatives from this county to vote and work for the passage thereof. This resolution is not a mere matter of form, but is intended as our most earnest and pressing expression upon this subject." .. , ' Ministers Indorse It. At the regular monthly meeting of the Ministers Association, held yesterday, the discussion tended toward temperance legislation. Every member of the association pledged his stanch support to the Nicholson bill, and a petition to the Legislature in behalf of the measure was prepared and signed by the members. A resolution proposed, by which the association would place itself on record as favoring the bill as an association, was defeated. Meholson Mill Indorsed. A service was held Sabbath afternoon in the Hyde Park M. L Church in the interest v of temperance. Mrs. : Nichols was present and lectured, giving special emphasis to the importance of the passage of the Nicholson bill. The northern part of the city, it is claimed, indorses the Nicholson bill. - The Meholson I1II1 In Fayette County. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Some time ago the News, of Connersville, in an editorial stated that "the Nicholson bill -: was supported by third party men who would not support the Republican ticket if the party platform contained a a Prohibition plank," and v other ., similar stuff. This is a statement that. should not go unrebuked. More than one hundred of the stanchest Republicans of Connersville have Indorsed the Nicholson bill, while only three of tha third party men have agreed to Indorse it. - The people of Fayette county are In earnest and will not be satisfied' if the Republican Legislature -refuses to enact this bill for the protection of public morals.. The writer is as stanch a Republican as Fayette county contains, and probably has the interest of the party as much at heart as the editor of the Connersville News; and the party born as a partv of justice, morality, freedom to the oppressed, and which has the support of the moral and religious people of Inidlana. owes to the people a debt which it cannot repudiate now that it has. the power and opportunity to repay. The. tiarty will be the stronger by complying with plain duty. - JOHN P. BROWN. Connersville, Ind., Feb. 4. Objecta to Section . To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In reading the proposed Nicholson bill,' I find one section that 1 1 think should be stricken out, and that is Section 6. For a father to enforce Section 7, or to cause a prosecution under It, would also cause the conviction of his son, which, although it might be right in one sense, would cause many-men. to hesitate before doing so, especially when the father would be the sufferer, as he .would probably have to pay the fine and suffer the disgrace of sending his eon. to .jail. I think the man who owns and operates a saloon is the one who ought to be punished, not the innocent youth who may be induced to enter such places. ; I am In favor of restricting the business in every, way possible to accomplish good. I am alfo in favor of deciding at the ballot-box w hether liquor shall be sold in the township or ward, as the case may be, and I would favor a law prohibiting a change of venue: in the case of application for liquor, licenses. The people where a man lives surely are the best judges of a person's iitness for the saloon business, and it does not look right for another county, that Is not interested, to grant a license and permit a man to sell whisky, when his own neighbors declare him unfit to carry on the business. MARION HATHAWAY. Redkey, Ind., Feb. 4. (Mr. Hathaway Is- mistaken in his last statement. An applicant for license has no change of venue, but must procure his license from the commissioners of the coun ty in wnicn ne proposes to do business. Ed. Journal.) 1 TUinkn the Dill I All IUffht. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: No bill before the Legislature has been" so well and favorably received as the Nicholson bill. It is not unjust to the business, it. does not prevent any one from selling his beer in legal hours. It does not prevent any man from doing a strictly legal business. One saloon keeper is quoted as saying: "It will not affect by business. I obey the law and run nothing in connection with my bar." The cry that there are laws enough on the statute books now, if they are enforced, comes from those who are wholly Ignorant of the. loopholes in the present laws, or who favor illegal saloon business, or are Indifferent on the subject Under the present laws conviction is almost impossible." The laws seem to have been framed to protect the saloon rather .than the public. The reason they are not enforced Is not because the officers are derelict in duty, but the lmpotency of the laws. HaviDg more than once assisted in an effort to enforce the existing statutes, I know whereof 'I. speak.'" .'.It .seems strange that any American citizen would object to the petition feature of the bill. Will it be asserted' that the majority have not the right to rule?" On what principle Will the Legislature withhold the right of a majority of th "legal voters" controlling local affairs Under existing laws a saloon can be forced on a community;, and they have no redress. This feature of the bill does not affect those localities where the saloon is a popular institution. Why compel its presence where a legal majority does not want it? A writer from Kokomo says, of the screen and furniture feature, that it "has already been passed upon by the higher courts and the ruling was that saloons could not be denied the privilege of using screens, furniture and other accommodations during legal hours.' The gentleman is just a little olY. The Supreme Court, in the Oreeneastlo case, decided that the law requiring saloons to remove all screens when so directed by the City Council, was constitutional, even during business hours. The furniture feature has never been incorporated in any Indiana, .law. How the "higher courts" could have parsed on it. "deponent saveth not." The effort -to scare the lawmakers by affirming that it is the third party men who are moviiig In the matter exposes the weakness of tha opposition. I am credibly informed that the third party men as a rule do not favor the measure. It is their boast that no satisfactory legislation can be obtained through the old parties. They are only waiting for it to fail, to shout, "I have stood by the party, believing that when it was in power r the desired relief would come. Of all the voter who signed the petition here not half a dozen are third party men; they are the men who havo stood by the party in this stronghold of Democracy una given the Republicans the victory. The Indiana Legislature never had euch an opportunity to quadruple, possibly sextuple, the third party vote of the State as now. The issue is squarelv drawn between the saloon and the better element of the State. The Nicholson bill is locked on with great favor here by all friends of temperance. If vox populi controls In the lawmaking body the bill will surely become a law. JOURNAL READER. Seymour, Ind., Feb. 4. Several ' Small Fires.

WANT TO ABOLISH IT

RGPII1L1CA.V CAICIS ACTIO OS MOSIMBXT COMMlf,iIO.V. Charges J.galuat Superintendent Johnaon, of Feeble-Minded School In the House and Senate. The cold weather ,.and the counter attractions of the theaters kept down the number at the Republican caucus last night. Among other thing it was decided to enact a law to aboJ'.sh the monument commission and substiiuto in its place a board of regents composed of State officials, with power to appoint swra subordinates as should be required. It is possible the board will be called a. commission if the caucus decree Is carried out, and the care of the monument will be irtrusted to a regent under bond elected iy the commission. The resolution was offered by Representative , Macintosh, of Wayne and Fayette. He supported it in r . strong speech, claiming that Commissioner English la using the commission for political purposes and Is only waiting until the Legislature shall adjourn, unless removed from office, to have himself elected president and to fill every appointment with a Democrat. He charged that Mr. English had only subscribed to the monument fund on condition that the monument should be located where It would benefit his property on the Circle, and that be had the law changed in order that he might be appointed a commissioner in defiance of the unwritten law that only old soldiers shou'd hold positions on the commission.. He pointed out that Mr. English was the only member of the commission who opposed the free admission of veterans to the monument, and that ' w-hen the National Encampment preparations were going on he stood out bo strongly against , recognizing the encampment committee, that the commissioners could secure his consent to a decoration of the monument only by agreeing to act independently and uirectly with the decorators. It was further shown . that while he is professing to serve the State as a commissioner without pay, he draws his warrants for every meeting, which are accumulating as a just claim against the State as a part of his estate. " There was little oppositon to the resolution, and a special committe was appointed to drafc a bill to carry out the purpose of the resolution. This committee consists of Macintosh, Harris and Leedy, of the House, and Senators McCutchan. forrj. and Haggard. The Speaker Is thoroughly'11 in favor of abolishing the commission. VV nn the resignation of President Langsdale and the death or General Manson, only Mr. English. Mr. OdcColtum and Captain Johnston are left. Amendments to the election law were discussed at some length, and the sentiment was largely in favor of changing the manner of voting the Australian ballot, so as to allow the voter to stamp the emblem and indicate any variance from the ticket underneath It by i stamping opposite these candidates on the other ticket. It was believed that this will simplify the method of voting. Another proposed amendment favored the use of a lead pencil instead of a. stamp, but no vote was taken by the caucus. On the first proposition a vote was taken, but was afterwards laid on the table, on account of -the comparatively small number presents Senator Haggard made a speech in line with his policy of appointing Republicans to fill the offices now in the possession of Democrats. There will be another meeting of the joint caucus next Thursday night to consider bills contemplating a removal of the appointing power from the hands of the Governor. The committee having in charge bills and suggestions concerning the-management of benevolent and penal Institutions was instructed to make a report that evening. While it was first proposed to place the appointing power in the hands of a board to be composed of the Governor, Secretary and Auditor of State, a number of the legislators are in favor of adding the State Treasurerand Attorney-general to the board, making it consist of five instead of three members. "WILL INVESTIGATE' JOHXSO.V. Chnrgren of Crnel Treatment of In- ' mates "Will Be Considered. '-' When the Senate and House committees on benevolent institutions left for Fort Wayne last Saturday they were loaded with a series of questions calculated to be of interest to Superintendent Johnson, of the School for the Feeble-minded. Since the Legislature met the committees on benevolent Institutions have received mahy letters making charges of cruelty and mismanagement. Along with these letters was given information as to the witnesses that should be called to substantiate the truth of the allegations. At the start the committee had some difficulty in getting the persons summoned to talk, but the assurance being given that the witnesses should be protected from removal, assistants and inmates talked freely, - The witnesses were called one at a time, and after several had been heard Superintendent Johnson was called. When he was informed of the character of the inquisition and of the charges that he would have to meet he was greatly disconcerted, and declared that the employes of the institution had formed a conspiracy to ruin him. His embarrassment was visibly increased when he was told thtt the committee as yet had taken practically no testimony to substantiate the charges, and that his attack on the employes was rather premature. The examination of witnesses lasted until a late hour Saturday night, and the showing that was made against Johnson was very damaging. The witnesses examined were not sworn, but their statements were taken by a shorthand : reporter. Bearing on the charge of cruelty G. L. Paxton. bookkeeper, testified that while Jack Frost, a feeble-mind?d boy, was engaged in sprinkling the lawn, he made a remark to one of Johnson's daughters, which she carried to her father. What the remark was is not known, but Johnson was greatly enraged, and going out he knocked the boy down, and taking the hose turr.ed ikon him until he was thoroughly drenched atid nearly drowned. Paxton further states that after Johnson had tired of playing the hose on Frost he dragged him into the office and beat him until he was black and blue. Frost told the committee that Johnson whipped him with a paddle until he was Mack from his neck to his heels, and that as a result he was so sore that he could scarcely lie down. Dr. Swearingen, physician of the Institution, stated that soon after this treatment Frost was taken sick and was unable to leave his bed for Ix weeks. He would not swear that the sickness was the result of the cold bath and the beating, but he supposed it was. Dr. Swearingen also testified .that three boys had once ran away from the institu tion, and were recaptured and broucht bnrk. For punishment Johnson ordered that sacks of sand weighing twenty-five pounds should be placed aoout tneir necKs, and these sacks they, were compelled to carry around for three days. This was the nenaltv that ws commonly inflicted on Inmates who ran away. Dr. Swearingen. Mrs. Orr and. Mrs. Decker all testmed that Johnson had slapped and kicked a little girl named Nellie May. Mrs. Orr. matron of the school, testified that wormy cereals and prunes were fed to the children, and when she called the at tention of Johnosn to the fact he had asked: 'How can. I help it?" On this same line Dr. Swearingen testified that the wormy cereals had for a time been displaced with a diet composed of hot mush and molasses until the children were badly run down with diarrhoea. Once when she had called his attention to the quality of the fare Mrs. Orr says that Johnson called her a d liar and shook his fist under her nose. It can at least be said for the administration of Johnson that in some lines1 the severest economy was practiced. J. H. Leonard testirted that when a boy, Howard Crouch, was burled, by order of Johnson the bottom and sides of the coffin were removed, leaving nothing but the lid supported by the two end pieces. He said that when the earth was shoveled in the board over the body caved in. Mrs. Genish testified that Johnson had sent a boy by the name of Daniel Luceman to the Jackson county poorhouse and had taken in his place two other boys because Mrs. Johnson was afraid of Luceman. She also testified that the children were allowed to run about in cold weather in their barefeet, because of the poor quality of the Shoe? provided. She stated that there was gambling in the institution, and charged further that when the children of Johnson were sick with the scarlet fever they were i. -t properly isolated from the inmates. There was also evidence that the school was run as a sort of an adjunct to the Democratic machine. Johnson admitted that an employe of the school had stood at the polls all day as a Democratic challenger. He was a?Ued by Senator Boyd if ba had ever writ

ten a letter stating that thei school was run on Democratic principles, and stating to the person to whom he wag writing that

it he would come up and point out a Re publican he would fire him. Johnson replied that he had never written such a letter, but Senator Boyd states that he has a copy of the letter in his possession. Senator Boyd states that the institution is rent with strife and jealousy, and that Johnson is sus picious of the employes, and that the employes and the inmates stand in constant fear of Johnson. The latter, said Senator Boyd, was constantly comparing his admin istration to that of nts predecessor, John G. Blake, to the detriment of the latter, while at the same time it was apparent that the children loved Blake and hated and feared Johnson. It was in evidence that Johnson is working the State for all his Job is worth. His wife is carried on the pay rolls at a salary of $6C0 a year as a matron of the hospital, a place, as Mrs. Orr - stated, that Mrs. Johnson did not visit twice a . week. . Another good thing that Johnson has done for the Johnson family has been to appoint the brother of his wife to the position of principal of the school at a salary of $700 a year. This young man devotes some of his time to the duties of the position, uut he is principally engaged in taking a course of study at the Fort Wayne College of Medicine. All of the charges that were brought against him Johnson emphatically, denied, except that relating-to the fastening of the sandbags to the ecks .of the runaway boys. He demanded that the ' committee" should call another meeting at wich he should .be given the right . to meet his accusers and disprove their charges, and "in tins Mr. Johnson will probably be accommodated. The committee has not yet made its report and will not until all the institutions have been visited. The committee will recommend, however, that a special and searching investigation be made of the Fort Wayne school, and that if the charges are sustained that Johnson be. dismissed. The committee will go to Richmond today and to Evansville Friday, and a report will probably be made some time next week. mmmmmmmmmmm THE 3IILITARI- BILL. Lung AVrongle OTer . Size of the Appropriation. . Mr. Leedy was in the, chair in the place of Speaker Adams when the House convened in the afternoon. The reports of committees were again taken up. ?The drainage bill of Adams, of Parke, was favorably reported, and the labor committee did as well by the O'Brien bill, calling for a State board of arbitration. When the same committee took the starch out of the Merritt labor commission bill the Lagrange statesman made one of his usual very short , and very pithy speeches, taking exceptions to the" committee's discrimination against , his measure. The labor representatives were promptly on their" feet to take exceptions to the remarks from Lagrange county. . Mr. O'Brien and Mr. .McGregor told why the committee had killed the MerrH bill, which created offices with large " compensation and accomplished no great good. : The report of the committee was evidently ' not unanimous, for one of the members vigorously opposed both measures. Mr. Howe,' who proclaimed himself a friend of labor, gave a brief tongue lashing to the walking delegate and jaw worker, who lived off the tolling classes. The debate switched off considerably from the question at issue,.; that of referring the bills back to a disinterested - committee. Most of the opposltiort was. to the expense created by the Merritt bill. -s Mr. Robinson suggested that both bills be made the special order .for Wednesday, - but Mr. Merritt launched into another of his characteristic short speeches, and was proceeding until Mr. Howe suggested that perhaps some other members would like to- waste a little time. This created a laugh,, but Mr. Merritt was unabashed, and the hands of the clock moved gaily on. After numerous "This great State of Indianas' had thwacked up against the galleries the previous question was demanded, and It was decided not to have the consideration of the bills a special order for Wednesday morning. Finally, the two labor bills were sent to the committee on rights and privileges. The ways and means committee, through Mr. Allen, had a large batch of bills on which it had passed judgment. Billingsley's bill, concerning taxation, was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Leedy's-bill, appropriating money for street paving claims, went through, and hi-.wi!hard Senate bill, ;exempting c-emeterifisr'.trqm -. taxation-, was sent back with a, favorable indorsement. Mr. Allen's taxation bill, embracing the recommendation of the State Tax Commissioners, was reported favorably after a minor amendment. . When bills came " up for second reading the; joint resolution of Mr. Cardwill, providing for a constitutional amendment contemplating machine voting, was explained by the author. The resolution has been detailed in the Journal. Senate Bill 106, legalizing the appointment of a township officer by county commissioners, where the incumbent of the office was insane, went to third reading. Remington's bill,vconcerning public offenses, was engrossed. The military bill, reorganizing the State militia, came up for"7 passage. The bill was so long it required ove1 twenty minutes to read It. Mr. Melendy, chairman of the committee, explained the features of the measure, after offering-' an amendment allowing the Governor t draw an the State funds for any unusual military expense necessitated by extraordinary troubles in the State. Mr. Stutesman thought the committee on ways and means should consider the appropriation feature of the bill, as a large sum of money Is involved. All over the State the people are crying for economy, and, while the measure may not be one of extravagance, the speaker thought there should be a closet scrutiny. Mr. Stutesman was not in favor of so large an appropriation as $75,CUO,!'. Mr. Leedy moved 'to send the bill to the ways and means committee with Instructions to cut the appropriation from $75,000 to $40,000. Mr. Leedy saw no reason for doubling 'the amount of the appropriation. Chairman Melendy, of the committee, who has been a militiaman for seven years, detailed the necessary expenses of the brigade of more than 3,000. Overcoats were needed by the soldiers, and the. State has failed to equip them with these. Last summer the soldier boys had only the small caps to protect them frbm the blinding rays of the sun. The question of armory rent is another Important one, Mr. Melendy raid three of the principal organizations in Indianapolis favored the bill.- Mr. McGregor asked for the names of . these, which the gentleman from Steuben promised to furnish. Mr. Stutesman offered a substitute amendment cutting the appropriation to $30,000. He felt that there w-as comparatively little need in Indiana for n army of trained soldiers. If an occasion, such as that of 1894, arises In the next ,two year3. the coming Legislature can be depended upon to make good any necessary expenditures. It would be unjust, continued the gentleman, to saddle an additional burden on the taxpayers. Mr. Allen called attention to the fact that the educational and benevolent institutions of the State must be supported, with a very slight margin, for unusual appropriations. A motion to adjourn headed off further debate on the bill, but before the motion was put Mr. Remy introduced a concurrent resoltion calling for an investigation of the Insane hospital at Evansville, This was a resolution similar to a House resolution of Mr Stakebake's, except "it provided, that an expert accountant should be employed. A Democrat objected to the resolution, as it was out of the usual order of business. This prevented further consideration of the matter. Mr. Pettit. of Wabash introduced a petition signed by over 5 000 citizens asking the Legislature to adopt a 2-cent-a-mile railroad rate. The motion to adjourn was lost. The discussion of the military bill was resumed. Mr. Leedy expressed the opinion that men went into the-volurrtarv service from patriotic motives and not to secure extensive equipments. If the officers showed a disposition to resign on account of a low appropriation, others would take their places; the State would not be left unprotected. Air. Dinwiddie favored a moderate appropriation. Mr. Robinson was opposed to the appropriation of such a large sum as $75,000. It was not the paid soldiery that saved the honor of the country; the volunteers did it. -..During the labor troubles offers of citizenry aid came from everv part of the State. Mr. Melendy concluded the debate. - He denied that patriotism would put down mobs, ln Lake county; for Instance, he said the people were more in sympathy with the mob. The previous question was urged and the House voted down the Stutesman substitute. A vote was then taken on the $40,000 amendment of Mr Leedy's and it faided for lack of the 'required two-thirds vote. Mr. Allen wanted the enacting clause of the bill stricken our but Adjournment was taken with the amendment and references still pending. COIXTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE. Debate Over the mil for Aboliahinir It Committee Report. An unusually long debate in the House, yesterday morning, over a bill abolishing the office of county assessor was unprollfic of satisfactory result, for the bill wa3 returned to the committee on townsh'.p and county business with instructions to prepare a bill fixing the maximum number of days in a year for which .-eounty assessor can claim pay. The discussion disclosed a strong opposition to further continuing this office, it being held that, the office was of

little benefit to the taxpayers. More than ten members spoke on the measure, and as many more would have added their views had not Mr. Robinson presented a resolution asking that it be recommitted. On one side it was insisted that the county assessor had added much property to the tax duplicates by searching tne county records and. bringing delinquent guardians to book. The Representative from Shelby claimed that . thousands of dollars had been added in that county. Others Insisted thai much railroad property was listed for taxation through the efTorts of these officers, but this ws controverted. Statements had been prepared by county assessors as to the work they have done, and these statements had been generously distributed among the legislators. The reports of committees on bills took up the entire morning session. Bill No. 330, providing for the election of county superintendents in August, was reported favorable.

SEXATE'S DAILY ROt'TIXH. Soldiers Home Bill Pusses Without a Dissenting: Vote. Senator Haggard's bill, for the location of a State Soldiers Home at Lafayette, was down as a special order for -10 o'clock yesterday morning in the Senate. It was; 10:30 o'clock when the Senate was called to order, and there was no quorum. The Haggard bill went over until 3 oclock In the afternoon, and the Senate until noon devoted itself to committee reports and bills on second reading. A large number of bills were indefinitely postponed and a few were recommended for passage. Among the latter was the bill of Senator McCutchan, providing for a fireman's pension fund in cities of the grade of Evansville, - Senator Alexander's bill for the appointment of shorthand reporters In all cases where either party- to the suit demands it, and Senator Newby'a bill, providing that trustees shall keep records of all persons who receive public aid. Senator Holler, from the committee on, agriculture, reported a substitute for the pure-food bill introduced by Senator Ellison. The substitute is a les3 rigorous bill than that drawn by Senator Ellison. The measure that was proposed by the latter was vigorously attacked by the. wholesalers of the State, who showed that, a number of food mixtures which are recognized as healthful would come under the provisions of the bill.' The substitute also exempts all classes of beverages, and practically anything in the way of a food compound can be sold if it is offered for sale under its proper name. A salary of $1,000 is provided for the State inspector, who is authorized to employ a chemist at a salary of $1,0C0 a year. Senator Hull presented a favorable report on the bill for the appointment of a State boiler Inspector. An effort was made to recommit the bill in order to give some one a chaince to show reason why it should not pass, but the effort failed and the bill was ordered printed. After committee reports came bills on second reading, and a number of , measures were ordered to engrossment. The most important bill thus advanced was the bill of Senator Eilison, providing that where a special verdict is demanded that the judge's charge and the interrogatories and all the other papers in the case may be taken to the jury room. This was distinctly a lawyer's bill, and there ' was some sharp opposition to its passage. Divers and sundry amend-, ments were offered, and some were engrafted and others were rejected. At 3 o'clock yesterday every one had offered everything he could think of, and the bill was ordered; engrossed. The order for 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon was the Soldiers', Home bill of Senator Haggard. The bill was read, and the Senator from Tippecanoe stated that the Senate was thoroughly informed as to the provisions of the measure, and he would not detain the Senate In an argument for its passage. The bill passed without a single vote against it. The bill appropriates $100,000 for the purpose stated. Practically the same bill has been recommended for passage in the House, except that the amount of the appropriation Is $75,000 Instead of $100,000. Under suspension of the rules the Senate also passed the "McCutchan bill, amending the city charter of Evansville. The following bills were introduced ln the Senate: By Senator Kern To abolish the general term of the Superior Court in Marion county, and providing that .appeals shall be taken direct to the Supreme Court. By Senator Self To legalize the incorporation of the town of Leavenworth, in Crawford county. ' By Senator Seller To regulate horse racing.

Bv Senator McCutchan Defining the First and Eleventh judicial circuits, and creating the Fifty-seventh judicial circuit. Bv Senator ParKer frovtdine that execu tors and administrators may secure suretvor guarantee companies to go on their bonds and charge the cost thereof to the trust being administereu. Senator Holler asked that the joint resolu tion providing for the appointment of a commission to canvass the feasibility of a ship canal to connect Lake Michigan with the navigable waters of the Wabash river be re committed to the committee on agriculture. Senator Holier gave as nis reason Tor ask- . ine the recommitment of the resolution that he had received a communication from a civil engineer, who suggested the feasibility of considering this question in connection with the bill for the creation of the Kanka kee river commission.

The Senate committee on elections held a meeting at the adjournment of the Senate, yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of hearing argument In the Foust-Rinear contest case from Wells and Huntington coun ties. Hon. J. B. Kenner, of Huntington, presented the case of the contestant in an exhaustive argument, and at the meeting that was held after cupper Senators Kern and Ellison presented the case of the de fense. The work of the committee has been an arduous one. The case was a difficult cne to start with, for the reason that nnm of the ballots that were rejected at the time ot me counting or me vote were protested and hence were not preserved. There was a plurality of fifty-seven to overcome before the contestant could be declared entitled to ihe seat, and this had to be done bv affi davit and by other evidence. Affidavits were presented concerning about seventy-five votes wnicn, it was auegeu. tne contestant was entitled to, and the dafendant nrodurp I evidence to show himself entitled to a number of votes which he did not get. The comrruieo w:ji noia a meeting to-aav or tomorrow to make up its finding, arfd its reroit to the Senate will be made Thursday mcrnlng. It has been evident from th ginning that the majority of the committee "i not recaraea tne contest witn favor, and the belief is that the committee's re

port will establish the right of Rinear, Democrat, the sitting member, to the seat to which, on the face of the returns, he was elected. t A Rill to Kill nob J.
