Note! of the Stage. “The Heart of Chicago,' - which was successfully launched at the Lincoln Theater, in Chicago, recently, will be the next attraction at the Park, opening with a matinee to-morrow. The Chicago newspapers pronounce the railroad effect to be a novelty, and claim for it superiority over anything of the kind ever attempted. The Chicago fire scene also came in for unlimited praise. Other important works of the scenio painter and stage mechanic’s art are the night illumination in the court of honor at the world’s fair grounds, Masonic Temple roof garden at night and a panoramic view of the South Side business district and Lake Michigan. The play is well cast. “In the Name of the Czar’’ closes its engagement with performances this afternoon and to-night.

ALCIDALIa’a SURPRISE * WON THE liilZ TROT AT CHARTER OAK PARK IX STRAIGHT HEATS. - 2:30 Pace Taken by Pa**ing Belle and tlie 2:40 Trot for Three-Year-Olds by American Belle. HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 31.—F.very race at Charter Oak Park to-day was a battle, although two of them were w r on in straight heats. Even in those races the finishes were close and the leaders had trouble shaking the other horses off their heels. Alcidalia furnished the surprise of the day by winning the 2:12 trot in straight heats, with such horses as Grace Hastings, Fred Kohl, Queechy and Fred B. in the field. Grace Hastings was picked out to win the race, but she was not in the best of moods. In the third heat, however, after starting far behind the others, she closed up the gap and gave the winner a hot chase to the wire. The three-year-olds furnished three spirited finishes, but there was an impression that American Belle, the winner, had a few links of speed which she was not compelled to show. Thorne and Timbrel set the pace for her and gave her three lively brushes coming home.

Ark., Aug. 31.—N0 further details of Sunday’s tragedy in Pope county, in which a party of revenue officers were murdered by a gang of desperate moonshiners has been received here. Gov. Jones has offered a reward of SIOO each for the arrest of the moonshiners implicated in the murder. This, in addition to the reward offered by the United States government, will, it 1s believed, induce detectives of skill to go to work on the cage. Already posses of local officers are in pursuit and news from them is anxiously awaited. Deputy Sheriff W. P. Moore, of Searcy county, son-in-law of Captain Taylor, one of the murdered men, has headed a posSte and is now on his way to the moonshiners’ stronghold. It lias developed to-day that the murder of the revenue officers Sunday was the result of a deliberately laid plan on the part of the moonshiners to exterminate all deputy marshals attempting to invade thteir region. It is known that the “shiners" are strongly organized and that they are kept informed as to the movements of revenue officers. It now develops that the Information given to the officers by one of the moonshiners arrested a week ago was for the purpose of decoying the officers back into the mountains in order to slaughter them. The leader of the crowd, now in the penitentiary awaiting examination, received a letter last Friday from a confederate in Pope county, in which the writer said: “There will be war in Europe about Sunday.” The writer undoubtedly referred to the slaughter of the revenue officers which occurred on that day. A letter written yesterday at Marshall, the county seat of Searcy county, gives additional details in regard to the tragedy. The letter states the marshals had been betrayed and led into a fortified ambuscade by the desperadoes, where they were shoi down without a chance to defend themselves. It is said the deperadoes were led by Ki Marcum and Bill Romines, two or the most noted “shiners” in that district. It is believed one of tlie desperadoes was killed. The community is very much excited and it is hardly probable the outlaws will bo arrested alive. Marcum is a veteran moonshiner, Sixty-five years of age. The letter also states that the dead body of one of the Searcy deputies was found near the scene of the shooting yesterday. It proved to be that of Ben Snow, ex-sheriff ot Searcy county. A report reached Little Rock this afternoon by telegraph that Sheriff Hodge and a posse had arrived close upon the bandits and a desperate fight is expected to o<*cut at any moment. Hodge lias telegraphed for assistance and deputies have been sent to his aid. Concession to American*. OTTAWA, Ont..

The Pitcher from Kentucky AVent l T p In the Air. There was a hot finish at the ball park yesterday. The Brewers had taken a big lead in the first inning and were running along easily and confidently, when Watkins’s men suddenly opened on Dowling. The young man from Kentucky went up in the air as if he had been shot from a gun and Connie Mack warmed Barnes up in a hurry. He evidently knew Dowling was a goner in the sixth, for with his team still five ahead he started Barnes to work. He diagnosed the case correctly, for in the seventh Dowling was hammered so hard he was glad to be relieved. While the operation of overhauling the Brewers was in progress Mack was a sight. He was so nervous ho could not sit still and wore a path fropi the bench to w'here Barnes was warming up. As the runs came in he called various directions to Downing until the latfer was more rattied than ever. The score was tied and Connie looked like a thunder cloud. When the leaders batted in tw'o more the next inning he was the picture of despair, but braced up in thte last half, after the Brewers had taken a turn at tying the score, and actually looked quite cheerful when Manassau called the game at thte end of the ninth on account of darkness. While all the hitting was going on which saved Indianapolis from defeat the “fans” shouted as they have not shouted in weeks. PHILLIPS WAS RUSTY. Phillips showed the effects of his two weeks’ lay-off. He was rusty in the first inning, After which he appeared to be in his old form, for he gave tne Brewers plenty of trouble. Manassau helped them along by an exceedingly rank decision on Weaver, who was out by a yard in the first inning, when he tried to steal third. There was no question at all as to the man being caught, but Manassau called him safe and thus saved Milwaukee from defeat. Kahoe played second and his one assist was sensational. He fumbled Blake’s grounder in the seventh, but recovered the ball and got it to Knau with a sort of back jerk in time to catch Stafford, who was forced. He spoiled McFarland’s chance to get Spear’s short fly in the eighth by almost running into him, the result being that the ball dropped safe and the man afterwards scored. Knau played a good game, his one error costing nothing. With one out in the first Weaver bunted one just out of Phillips’s reach. Daly was passed to first and a double steal followed, on which Weaver was Thrown out at third, but was called safe. Stafford, Blake, Lewee, Spear and Smith followed with safe hits, five runs resulting. Dowling flew to Knau and Nicol struck out. Gray’s low throw of Lew’ee’s grounder 1n the third went through Motz and th’e white-headed shortstop reached second. Spear’s sacrifice moved him to third and Smith’s fly to McCarthy scored him. Dowling got a hit, but Nicol struck out. Blake hit to center for a base in the fifth and stole second, going right along to third on Wood’s poor throw. Lewee fltew to Knau and Spear to McCarthy, Blake coming in on the last fly. Smith went out from short to first. THE LEADERS BRACE UP. With the score 7 to 0 against them, the leaders took a sudden brace in the sixth. Dowling was apparently pitching with as much speed and using as many deceptive curves as ever. Gray and McFarland had gone out on long files when McCarthy drove the ball to right for two bases. Motz followed with a hit to center and Wood with a two-bagger to left, earning two runs and stirring the crotvd up wonderfully. Kahoe retired the side from short to first. The Brewers were disposed of so quickly in their half that Barnes,, who was warming up, was not ready and Dowling continued to pitch. He was visibly nervous and sent Knau to first on balls and his destruction was completed when Daly threw Phillips’s grounder wild to second in an effort to head off Knau. "Hogriever hit to center for a base, scoring a run and Gray went him a couple better by placing the ball against thte right field fence for three bases, sending Phillips and Hogriever home. Then Mack beckoned Dowling to come in, but as he saw McFarland coming to bat waved him back, evidently thinking left-handed batters would stand less chance with a ”south-paw.” His judgment was good so far as it related to McFarland, who went out from short to first, but he missed it on McCarthy, who drove the ball over Blake’s head for three bases, sending Gray in. Mack lost no more time calling Dowling in and Barnes took Uis place, only to makte a wild pitch and let McCarthy home with the tie run. It didn’t matter much, however, as Motz hit to left for a base, which w’ould have scored the run. Wood went out from second to first and Kahoe from pitcher to first. Barnes couldn’t stop them in thte eighth, for Knau opened with a hit to center and Phillips, who tried to sacrifice, dropped one in short right field for two bases. Barnes, at his manager’s direction, gave Hogriever a baste on balls. Gray’s long fly to Nicol scored Knau and advanced the other runners, Hogriever reaching second by a good slide. McFarland’s out from Daly to Stafford sent Phillips in and McCarthy went out in the same way. It looked pretty safe for Indianapolis, especially after Lewee’s strike out in th’e last half, but Spear’s fly fell safe between Kahoe and McFarland and Smith slammed the ball to the left center fence for three bases, scoring him. Pnllllps was now pitching with much speed and one of his fast drops got through Wood, Smith coming in. This wild pitch tied the score for good and all, as Barnes struck out, Nicol went out on a foul tty to Wood and neither side scored in the ninth. The game was then called. Score: Indianapolis. A. B.

The first will be called at 2 o’clock, with Foreman and Reidy as the opposing pitchers. Kellum is going to pitch the second game, -while Terry will look after Milwaukee’s interests in that line. Stewart, who was ill yesterday, will play to-day if able, and it is thought h 6 will be. There will be a big crowd of rooters on hand this afternoon for the exciting finish yesterday has stirred them up wonderfully and “doubleheaders” are great drawing cards. Cripple* Lose One, Tie Another. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 31.—The Saints easily captured the first game from the cripples to-day. Burnett, who played short, was especially weak at that point and w r as responsible for several runs. Hahn, who aspires to National League honors, was bombarded for a single, double, triple and home run in the first inning of the second game, w-hlch netted four runs. After that the boy was invincible, but three hits following. The game was called on account of darkness.

In just three weeks the Western League season will be at an end and then for the cup games. Stewart was sick yesterday, but may be In shape to-day. If not, Kahoe will continue at second. “Dibby” Flynn arrived yesterday and was on the bench, but not in uniform. He will not play for a day or so, possibly not until next w r eek. Foreman worked hard on the coach lines yenterdav and made some very funny remarks during tho excitement of the sixth and seventh innings. The ascension of Colonel Dowling and the cordial reception given his successor, Mr. Barnes, put Indianapolis right in tho game yesterday when the crowd had about given it up as lost. The crowd was pretty hot at Manassau for that decision calling Weaver safe at third and quizzed him about his rough experience at Columbus Sunday. Gray had Weaver out easily enough and the fans could not be blamed for being vexed over the umpire’s action. EDDIE BALD WON, Bnt Wa* Pnsbeil Hard by Major Taylor, tbe Colored Cyclist. WORCESTER, Mass., Aug. 31.—1n the National Circuit bicycle races to-day Eddie Bald wen the mile professional open, getting first in his trial heat from John S. Johnson and Tom Butler and winning the final, but only after a hard fight in the stretch with Major Taylor, who finished second. The colored rider led until one hundred yards from home, when Bald came upon even terms and won out by a narrow margin. The three-mile lap race was something of a novelty to the circuit chasers, but it brought about a big field of fast men and furnished some great finishes. Mertens and Nat Butler did most of the work in the first heat and got first and second places easily, with a half dozen riders, including John S. Johnson, tied for third place. In the second heat Major Taylor was prominent until a collision in the last lap, when he was thrown and badly scratched. He had at that time won sufficient points to qualify, but made no attempt to ride in the final. The race came between Frank Butler, who had got a place in the second trial heat, and John S.

Errors Gave Giants the First, and Good Pitching Won the Second. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—The Reds fell down before the Giants in two games this afternoon. They got four runs in the first inning of the first game and one more in the fourth. They held their advantage over the New Yorks until the fifth, when two hits and two errors netted the Giants three runs, tying the score. Joyce’s men got another run in the sixth and with a lead of one run the game progressed. In the ninth Ritchey made a hit and Miller put the ball out near the field bleachers, where Tlernan muffed it, Ritchey going to third. Beckley filed out to center and Ritchey scored. In the New York’s half of the ninth Van Haltren singled, McCreery sacrificed him to second, Tiernan died out and Van Haltren was on third. Davis then sent a good single to left and Van Haltren came in with the winning run. Rhines pitched winning ball, while Rusle was easy. The second game was a walk-over for the Giants, who hit Breitenstein almost at will and the Cincinnatis could do nothing with Meekin. Attendance, 11,000. Score of first game: New York. A.B. R. H. O.

The magnificent catching of Kittridge and the batting of Stahl and Dahlen were the features of the game. The latter drove in one man ahead of him on a home run, while Stahl came to the rescue of the home team by sharp hits.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: That was a good joke on Governor Mount, In his commendable zeal to reduce the State’s indebtedness he announced his purpose to pay off the university bonds, as they were eating up the State’s revenue at 5 per cent., while other bonds demanded only 3 percent.; but when he set out to find a payee he could find none, and he and the attorney general gravely concluded they never can be paid without a special act of the Legislature. The reason is the State never borrowed a cent from the State University, and owes it nothing at all. How can it pay? The unwritten history of these bonds would be good reading to the taxpayers of the State. It would reveal what not one taxpayer in ten thousand ever knew and which it was intended he never should know; a:,d if this incident shall cause such a chapter to be written the Governor and attorney general need not blush at their ignorance of the facts which lie behind them and explain their real character. Let me barely outline it here. Some competent person will write it more In full before another legislature is elected, and, instead of its providing for their payment, it will more likely declare them void for want of consideration and not oniy order that no more interest be paid on them but that they be canceled outright. To understand even this chapter it is necessary to premise that the constitutional convention of 1857 as emphatically inhibited all state aid to academic, collegiate and professional education as if it had formulated a section so decreeing. The old Constitution provided for these, and county seminaries had been built and a State University had been fostered by state aid, but the people, in convention assembled, almost unanimously voted to exclude all these from the Constitution of the future. So well understood was this decree that the county seminaries were all sold immeditely, and for sixteen years the State University never thought of asking state aid. So radical was the removal of the State from fellowship with the university at Bloomington that it was deemed advisable for the Legislature of 1852 to pass a special act providing that “the institution incorporated Jan. 28, 1828 (meaning the “institution” at Bloomington), is hereby recognized as the University of the State of Indiana,” so as to confirm to it the proceeds of certain lands which Congress had granted to the State for university purposes. That it meant nothing more than this is obvious from what followed. The “Institution” itself so understood it, and began to adjust itself to the situation by selling perpetual scholarships, as Asbury University and other “institutions” were, and by procuring from the Supreme Court a decision that it was “a private corporation,” with all the rights of any other private corporation, and for sixteen years It never whimpered that it was entitled to any more. But for reasons not pertinent to this paper it did not keep pace with several of its younger sister colleges, notwithstanding the princely endowment by Congress and that act or the Legislature which gave it the exclusive benefit of it. To remedy this condition the State Board of Education, one cold day In 1867, in an Inner room of the old Statehouse, gravely resolved that the State University was the head of our common school system and therefore It should receive the same fostering care as any other department of the system, and the most formidable lobbv that any Legislature in any State ever had to wrestle with was delegated to carry the news to the Legislature. What has followed is history, but it is unwritten, and not one taxpayer in ten thousand knows a word about it. That lobby found a Legislature absorbed In the thousand and one new and difficult questions, state and national, w'hich had grown out of the war, with little time and less inclination to consider so tame a question as education, and as they asked for only SB,OOO to meet “a pressing need” the camel’s nose was admitted into the tent. Evidently its body Is not all in yet. but these $144,000 of 5-per-cent, bonds tell, in part, the story, but not the half of it. Skipping thirty years, what do we find? There has never been a Legislature from that dav to this which has not been in the hands of that lobby as clay in the hands of the potter. Beginning with SB,OOO a year it is now about $138,000. But that is not all. Our Caesar has grown so great that it not only asked last winter for an additional aporopriation of $250,000 for some special betterments of the university plant, but it came forward with a bill which was to grant a preference to Its graduates over the graduates of other colleges in the matter of teachers* licenses. But how about these $144,000 of 5-per-cent, bonds? That is an interesting chapter in this phenomenal business. For sixteen vears the Legislative had never failed to respond liberally to tho demands of this “head of the common school system.” By 1883 It found the Legislature so completely at Its mercy that it conceived the idea, of asking for a permanent endowment of $1,000,000. and the Legislature fell into the trap and granted it; not to be paid all at once, but in twelve instalments, and a very Innocent-looking little addition to the state levy was made expecting to realize the million in the twelve years, but the hard times coming on. the aggregate wealth of the State was not quite sufficient to make the proposed million, so that “it Is in fact only $G1’:.527.93. By 1887 the state officers, who had to go Into the money market to borrow' money to make good to this endowment fund the amount It claimed under the special tax, conceived the Idea of giving state bonds, bearing 5 per cent., to the university direct, rather than to New York bankers for funds to put Into the auditor of state’s bands to be loaned ns university endowment funds, seeing that the entire income from taxes was insufficient to meet the current expenses, and that is bow these bonds came to exist. They were given under a false conception of facts and without consideration. The State Board of Education had no more right to designate the "Institution ’ at Bloomington the head of our system of common school education than to designate Butler or Moore’s Hill or Earlham or any other private corporation. That is why they cannot bo paid and it is why. also, the Interest on them should no longer be paid, and why the bonds themselves should be canceled. But this is not half the taxpayers should know, and know thoroughly and minutely. It wars an eye-opener when the state auditor. last winter, reported to the Senate that in thirty years the State University, including Its branches, the State Normal and Purdue, had drawn $3,409,586.64 from the state treasury, not Including the $643,527.93 raised by taxation and given to the university as an endow’ment. But these $4,052.114.57 do not tell the whole story. They do uot tell half, The Legislature of 1895 pro-

A. McKeenan, No. North Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: J’For many years I suffered with dyspepsia and indigestion in its worst form. 1 could not eat such things as my appetite craved without the greatest pain afterward. I tried almost every remedy I could hear of. but none did me any good. I was advised to try Munyon’s doctors, but as I despaired of obtaining any relief, I did not do so at once. Finally my sufferings became so great that I resolved to try once more. I took a course of treatment by Munyon’s specialists and can state truthfully that lam cured. I can now eat with relish anything that I desire, and without any pain or distress afterward.” Mrs. Berry, No. 1 Hester street, Indianapolis.

It was adroitly done, and may be fitly called the masterpiece of that inimitable lobby. It is only a tax of one and two-thirds cents on the hundred dollars in perpetuity. Last year it. brought $200,000; this year it will yield $240,000, and so on, increasing as the w'ealth of the State increases. True, the formality of issuing the bonds has not been gone through, but the taxed are paid, all the same, and there is no abandonment of the other $643,527.93 already invested in these unpayable $144,000 and the $429,527.93 loaned on mortgages. But that is not all: It is not half. In addition to the proceeds of these millions the Bloomington University alone had the cheek to ask $250,000 specific appropriation last w’lnter. This means a half million specific appropriation, and then a mill'on as the needs press. And, after all. w'hat Is It for? The “Institution” at Bloomington is a local school. More than one-sixth of its pupils are from Monroe county alone. Several counties have none, and about thirty have less than five each. And the same is true, of tho State Normal. More than one-half of all who have attended from the beginning have Veen from counties within easy reach of Terre Haut, and nearly one-sixth have been from Vigo county alone. The plan of gratuitous instruction Is a fraud. Tuition is just as free at De Pauw ivs at Bloomington. and probably at some of the other nonstate colleges. Their frantic appeal to young men and women that a diploma from the State University or the State Normal will be more advantageous in securing a teacher's license Is specious and not nearly so true as the Geeting b'M. so Inglorious defeated last winter, intended to make it. _ . There are other facts the people ought to know. I may take them up later on. It is not a pleasant duty, but It Is none the less a duty, to expose tho fraud which has been perpetrated upen our school system by this disregard of our Constitution. Let us amend our Constitution so as to allow this waste of monev and then let us provide for educating all, by establishing a half dozen colleges and as many normal schools and law schools and also medical and theological and dental, or let us adapt our legislation *o the Constitution and go out of that class of education entirely.
