To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: On my farm, pne and a half miles north of Holsberry, Greene county, has been found a sorrel mare. The animal had been shot and apparently hidden in a small ravine. The animal was five years old, with small star in forehead, clipped mane, white on right hind foot to a point a little above the pastern joint, a medium sorrel, In fair flesh and no visible blemishes. The breast and under parts of the animal are covered with mud, she having from all appearances been rilden very hard on a public road Just before being-shot. I have Inquired carefully, but none of my neighbors ever owned or saw the animal. She lies one-quarter of a mile from the nearest highway, with three good rail fences and heavy timber intervening. -From appearances she was put there between the 1st and 15th of December. The matter was not Investigated until after the snow fell, but the snow having melted away In places she was tracked back a few rods, indicating that she had not come from the nearest highway, but one more remote. There has been no stock In tha field for over two months and the anlmil could not have come there of her own accord. She was first found on Christmns t!ay by some boys who were hunting. The affair is a complete mystery to the people of this community ani publication may develop some crime in connection with the matter. ALBERT W. OGG. Solsberry, Ind., Jan. 6. 4 A ClreulntiiiK Picture Gallery. New York Mail and Express, A circulating piclure gallery seems, on the face of it. to be so good an idea that one wonders why it has not become anaccompllshed fact long aso It seems that'the Hull House settlement in Chicago is the first to carry it into effect. I do not know who is entitled to the credit for this brilliant idea. The plan is to circulate the pictures just as books from a library are circulated. Any one picture may be retained for two weeks, with privilege of renewal. The pictures are framed, and. It is said, they are cared for most carefully by their temporary owners. To poor art students. w"ho are anxious to save the time and the fatigue of constant walks to and from galleries, this must be a great boon. Instead of going to art, it brings art to them. The idea of the circulating picture gallery is not, however, meant exclusively for artists. It is designed to reach the poor, and to give them that love for the beautiful which must result in good. No one can hang a picture with any merit at all in it on a bare wall, upon which their eyes must rest every day, without being uplifted by it in that subtle fashion that only good pictures can exert. It Is said that the pictures most in demand at the Hull House collection are Fra Angelico's "Paradise," the "Slstine Madonna" and others of Raphael's. This would suggest the devotional spirit In a sense, end unquestionably contemplation of beautiful pictures does touch the spiritual side of one's nature. Appeal of a .Montana Editor. Anaconda Recorder. Don't get mad if your visitor's name does net appear In the personal column. Perhaps you did not tell the editor he's no mind reader. Don't get mad if j-our neighbor's doings are referred to more frequently than your own. Your neighbor uses his mouth. Your modest may be keeping you in obscurity. That's no dream. A country newspaper man can't spend all his time on the street and make three meals a day. If you know an item of news hold us up and give it out of your system. Sixteen to one if we get It second-hand there will be a blunder in It. CnmpalKn Libel Suit Dinmlimed. BOSTON, Jan. 6. The Peabody-Atwood lilel suit, which has been on trial In the Sup! erne Criminal Court for the last few days, came to an abrupt termination thl3 morning, when District Attorney Stevens officially stated that, with the assent of the defendant and of the party alleged to have been libeled, he would no further prosecute the indictment. The suit was brought by Congressman H. H. At wood against Fred. W.

A BULLISH SITUATION

S(U ALLY OITLOOK IX El ROPE AFFECTS CHICAGO WHEAT. Gain of 1 r-Sc In May Fnturen. with Corn mid Oatn Advancing Provisions Heavy nnd Lower. CHICAGO. Jan. . The pre-eminent influence on the board to-day was the squally political outlook in Europe. There were ether bullish influences, but this predominated. The big bear faction was the financial situation. The report that from $3,oeo,00d to S5.0C0.C00 of gold has been engaged for export aided In weakening wheat for a time, but it soon became strong again, closing l?gc higher than yesterday. Corn and oats each gained 'ic, while provisions were heavy and declined. Wheat was easier for a second or two at the opening, but soon became strong. England was a liberal and anxious buyer at the seaside, taking forty boatloads at New Y'ork for prompt shipment. Country millers showed up in force here and paid 2!c in store over May price for 157,000 bushels of No. 2 red. The Argentine crop was said to be damaged to the extent of 20 per cent, by rain, and the stocks of wheat In Europe and afloat therefor were 2.118,000 bushels less than they were a week ago. There was one cloud on the horizon, however, that was well watched the financier situation, whicn is assuming a serious phase. But the news arid the situation generally favored better prices. The Liverpool cable quoted wheat higher and consols lower, due, it was said, to the critical situation in political affairs and the advices concerning th Argentine crop were quite unsatisfactory., The receipts In the Northwest were fully two nundred cars less than yesterday and only twelve cars more that a keek ago. The world's shipments last" week were officially' reported at 6.521.0UO bushels, or about 700,000 bushels under the estimated weekly requirements. All this tended to alarm shorts, and there was active covering, with only limited offerings, and the competition sent prices up early. On the first advance, however, there were, free realizing sales, which started the price off Vic. But the late cables brought the news of. a further advance abroad, and the buying fever again caused another advance, which was well held at least up to the noon hour. May sold early at 5834c, then up gradually to GO'sC, off to 59c, and back to 60l,ic. . The market was nervous during the last hour, and after selling off to 59Tsc for May, made a spurt to 6034 c, and closed at 60c. The corn market was strong and moderate amount of speculative business was done. May, which closed yesterday at 284 &2Sc, started at 2S4c, but soon firmed up, rising to 280, and closed at that. The demand from the East for winter loading here was fairly good, and in the cash crowd local billed corn was bringing Vic more than yesteiday. Country offerings were light. Oats were fairly active and strong. Influenced by corn. Shorts were the principal buyers. May soli early at 19x4c. "but advanced till the closing at 19fil9c. Live stock receipts were considerably larger than were expected, and In consequence hog products suffered considerably in price. Compared with yesterday's latest quotations, to-day's closing rates show the following declines: January pork, 10c; February, 120; lard. January, llAc, May, 5c, and January and .

Wool. BOSTON, Jan. 7. The flurry which attacked the wool market ten days ago has simmered down, and the market is, quiet, although prices are fully maintained". The condition of the market is considered strong, with prices in the dealers' favor. While the general expression is that the tariff bill will not pass, yet manufacturers do not feel like disregarding the movement, and are keeping their eyes open for all available clips. It is estimated that during the flurry the week's business amounted to fully 10,000.000 pounds. Fleece wools are strong, with a fair trade. Territory wools are firmer, but the advance has been less marked than with the fleeces. Australian wools are selling well at advanced prices.

The first instance in which a legislative assembly has treated the drink habit as a disease rendering its victim a source of danger to the state has just been provided by a bill now acout to be Introduced to the Austrian Reichsrath. This bill proposes to treat the persistent drunkard as a person who is mentally incapable and likely to inflict injury upon the community, not only by actual violence, but by his example. It is, therefore, proposed that the authorities shall keep him under control, both during good behavior and for such a longer term as. in the opinion of competent physicians, will serve to wean him from his craving for strong drink. This bill is the result of a long-continued series of efforts by the medical profession of Austria. The ground has been taken that the position of the drunkard in social life has not been hitherto properly, estimated. It is argued that he should be regarded more as a lunatic than is at present the case, and that he should be treated accordingly. There has always existed a feeling that the craving for drink, with its consequences, ought to be treated as a mere bad habit, n temporary and recoverable error, not really a form of mental disorder. This, there can be but little doubt, is a false reasoning, for evidence has multiplied in recent years that the victim to alcohol is subject to a disease, just as much as a maniac or lunatic. The disease has received all sorts of names, but as to Its nature it seems agreed that it consists In a weakening or decay of the will power, coupled with a craving for stimulants. The restraint which the Austrian Reichsrath proposes to put upon the. drunkard may take the form either of voluntary or compulsory detention In specially appointed retreats. In cases where the confinement is compulsory provision is made for a regular trial, in which witnesses, both lay and medical, will be heard. The justification for detention will consist in such facts as repeated previous convictions of drunkenness, proof of danger to life, and other evidence "strong enough to leave no doubt tthat the alcoholic passion has become ungovernable, and has rendered its victim morally or physically a source of danger to himself and others. The term of detention will be two years, and this term is liable to reduction or renewal, as the occasion may require. The drunkard will, therefore, be made to feel that he is not merely committing a misdemeanor when he tipples to excess, but a grave crime, for which the State will look him up and treat him as a person who ought not to be allowed at large. There is a vast difference between this mode of treatment ani that in practice In other civilized countries, where a drunkard is locked up for a few days as a punishment for his offense, no effort being made either to better his condition or to prevent any injury he might possibly Inflict when under the influence of alcohol. The danger in the latter case Is. of course, much greater If the period of alcoholic excitement H a long one. In case the bill passes (and there is but little doubt of this), the Austrian citizen will have little opportunity to go on a long spree. The bill may be taken as fairly representing medical opinions on this subject. Modification in detail may, perhaps, be found advisable as time goes on, but the profession will probably approve the bill on its general outlines. The attempt to repress the excessive drinking habit and to treat it as an ingrained vice, which has absorbed all traces of a resisting will, certainlv deserves a fair trial. Every precaution will be made to render the preliminary investigation as searching as possible, and no personal privileges will be lost by detention. It is rather the purpose of the bill to protect the state and improve the condition of the victim than to inilict punishment. The patient's own interests will be served In a degree at least equal to that of his relatives and friends. It Is probably true that some such measure will be adopted in all civilized countries in the course of .time. A treatment such as this one here outlined would certainly result in the benefit of the patient, and the. confinement would not be much lamented by his family. A TE3IPLB OF 91 AM MUX, The Xew Building of the Xew Y'ork ClearlnK-IIoiiMc Association. Washington Letter in Chicago Record. On he 15th of January the bankers of New Y'ork will meet and dedicate to the god of money the finest financial temple in the world, the new clearing house which has been erected on the north side of Cedar street, between Wall and Nassau streets, at a cost of $1,500,000. Bishop Potter will offer prayer. Frederick I. Tappan, president of the Gallatin National Bank, chairman of the building committee, will make a report and deliver the building to William Nash, president of the Corn Exchange National Bank, who Is also president of the Clearing house Association. J. Edward Simmons, president of the Fourth National Bank, will then deliver an address, after which the guests of the occasion will be Invited to partake cf an elaborate luncheon. Invitations have been sent to prominent financial and official people throughout the country, alout 1,000 in number. R. W. Gibson is the architect of the newbuilding, which is entirely of white marble ar.d detatched from adjacent structures. It is a pity to hide su h a beautttul expresion of architecture in a dark and narrowstreet where it cannot be enjoyed or admired. The building is of the Italian renaissance order, ninety-four feet square, and about 100 feet in height. The lower stories follow Corinthian lines and present handgome pillars and a frieze of elaborately carved marble. The dome Is thirty feet in heiahth and of exquisite proportions. The entire building will be used for the clearing house, except the ground floor and a portion of the basement, which has been rented to the Chase National Bank, which Is to be congratulated upon having the handsomest ottice in the world. It includes 8.U0 feet of Hcor space, with an enormous vault In the center, and large win lows on all four sides. The president. Mr. Henry W. Cannon, and his staff, have offices on the Cedar street front. Just within the entrance and the directors' room In the rear All cf the cabinet work. Including th bookcases and pigeon-holes is of steel, and the vault Is surrounded by meshes of electric wires like the nerves of the human bodv. so that the slightest disturbance will convey an alarm to police offices In the Neighborhood. The book vaults, are in the basement below, where Is also a kitchen

and dining room fnr t. u-e of th" vrr,tjrtive employe of t':! bank. w.k h.'.vc l.-. ir luncheon fcrvei trum every dv. It cot the ftcckholders of the :iae Bank Jll.'vi l :st year to f e I t;-.eir cLtk at r.oor.djj, but they co.nslI.-r it a good !r.vetm r.t. The new banking oilu-es are fitted with other conven lnc s and adr-mm nts fu-;-gested by exr-riebce nnd ustr. Th general effect rives an impression of soli nty. dicnity Hrd el'jcanee. The Clearing-house Association r? served th. rest of the building for it.- own purposes. On the second storv are the administration otfices, reception rooms committee rooms and a large hall for the meetings of th" association, which is pr:.aps the most pumpluius Jn the United States. There is also a library in which the numbers of the association can find every work ef value that r lates to banking and finance. The remaining part of th'.s iloor is devoted to the cash department and tb clerks cf the manege r. The th!rd flour contains the exchange or clearing room, eighty feet Fquarc. with th-. ?m:it dom for its roof. Here will be the desks ef the sixty-six banks belonging to the a-rccl.-i-tion. all of them under ti e e ye of the manager, who occupies a gallery in an alcoe at one end. In th rear of the charing' room is a dining hall and kitchen, a bathroom, storage room and aci-otrmodation for the Janitors. Although lut sixtv-six banks belong" to the Clearing-house Association, the business of eighty-four othtr outside banks is transacted through members every day. Knst Fri lay th clearincs amounted to $139.wo.Ov'0. in which $..) of actual money passed from hand to ban 1. It is r.ot pen rally known that the New York Clearing-house Association is not an incorporated body. It is simply u mutual benefit concern, which rests upon an iiqree.ment slsned by its members and Kept in its vaults. That agreement Is the only lawful evidence of its existence, and was originally drawn and Kilned o- the 11th day of October. lvV.. for the purpose of effecting at one place the daily exchanges between the several associated banks, aril the payment at the same place of the balances resulting from such exchanges. It may le interesting to some reader to know how the business is conducted. Formerly banks usd to send messenger 1kis around to the other banks of th city to collect the cash upon a bundle of checks which had been deposited by Its customers. Each bank did the same, and the consequence was a prrat deal of trouble, time ar.d risk. Now all this is tloae at a clearing house. Every morning at 1 o'clock there assemble at the clearing house two cleiks from each of the banks belonging to tiie association. One, the settling clerk, enters and occupies a desk that has been assigned to the institution he represents. The other, or delivery clerk, takes his position ! foie one of these desks with a latere pocket book in his hand. Promptly at the hour the manager strikes a gong, when each of th sixty-six delivery cletks takes Iron) his pecketbook a packa of checks upon the bank whose representative sits at the desk beside him. and gets In exchange a receipt for the amount they represent. He then advances to the next desk, where the same transaction takes place, rind so on until the circuit is completed, and every ene of the sixty-six desks has ln-on been visited by every one of the delivery clerks. This takes about ten minutes. The settling clerk then runs over the accounts and makes up a statement, which he hands to the ele livery clerk, who takes it to his bank. This statement shows how much money is lue from and how much is owing to the other banks of the association. This statement Is prove! and checked off by the clerKs In the- lar.ks, and at 12:3' o'clock the deilve ry clerk returns to the clearing hou with packages of cash to settle the balances e-f his bark. These are paid in order to the settling clerks. During the year 1S:" the transactions of the New York clearing bouse have amounted to J30,K.o.lC3,475, of which fl.v.K.574.31J was cash. The a vera ire elaily transactions for the year were KS.SVs,372. Tbo total transactions since its organization forty-two years ago amount to the enormous sum of $l,122,I76.771..vn. and $lH.4C3.C.i.5X2 in cash has been handled over its counters. Dynamiter Captured.
