DFNTTCT Dr. A. E. BUCHANAN J/Jjill Ik) I 22-33 When Building. AMUSEMENTS. P*rl—“On the Yukon.” Robert Fulgora, the well-known director of the tour each year of Hopkins’s Trunsoeeanics. has found time for a side venture in the way of a sensational comedy drama, c alled “On the Yukon,” which opened at the Park yesterday to large audiences. As its title suggests, it has some Klondike experiences in it, the first act taking place there. The subsequent three acts are located on the Ay<*mUe coast and relate to the solving of a mystery—the murder of John Golden. Sam Morris, as Moses Levi, is the star of the play, and he makes an attractive, genial sort of an individual out of the Hebrew peddler, who ends by saving from financial ruin the family of the man whose murder he was accused of. hut acquitted. There is much good scenery in the play and the company Is capable. A cleverly-trained dog is an entertaining feature of the second act. Louise Ripley introduces a specialty in the third act. “On the Yukon” continues to-day and to-morrow at the Park and will lie followed Monday by Hopkins's Transoceanic®, one of the most popular companies visiting Indianapolis, at tlic head of which is Papinta, the great dancer. Soi Smith Russell, who opens at English's to-night in “A Bachelor's Romance,” says his conception of the character of Petruehio. which bo plays in “The Taming of the Shrew" to-morrow night, is the same as Edwin Booth's. “I think,” said he, “that the play was intended as pure comedy and for thut reason 1 use the short version. Matty of the love scenes between unimportant characters are cut out and we try to get t>* the essence of the play, which I take to be the humor of it. A century or so ago playwrights and actors, as a concession to a false sentimentality, had long, florid speeches that hampered the action of the play and would driv a modern audience away in disgust. Take ‘The Rivals.’ Julia is eliminated from the version now used, vet the role was carried by the leading woman in the old days. It was dead timber. So it is with much of the long version of Shakspearean plays. J saw Booth play Petruchio many years ago. He delighted in it and made the part humorous. My idea of the character coincides with his.” “A Bachelor’s Romance” will be Mr. Russell’s matinee bill to-morrow and his triple bill will be given to-morrow night. The P.oston!ans will not give “Robin Hood” during their engagement at English’s next Monday and Tuesday nights. "The Serenade” has been such a success since it wa.- produced last spring that it has the leading and almost sole place in their repertory this season. A young heavy bass singer who has leaped Into public favor during a brief career on the lyric stage is Eugene Cowles, the popular basso of the Bostonians. No artist before the public to-day can boast of such gifts as Mr. Cowles, and it is to he doubled if he has a rival in this field. Certainly no foreign singer, cither in grand or light, opera. possesses a voice of more equidle timbre, flexibility or range. Possessing an agreeable presence and magnificent stature, be has every qualification for heroic roles, and his rendition of the part of Will Scarlet in "Robin Hood” is a pleasant remembrance to Indianapolis music covers. Mr. Cowles is a young man. born in Canada, and Vrevioup to his debut in Baltimore, with the toatoniuns. a few years ago, lie occupied the responsible position of teller in the First National Bank, Chicago. Mr. Cowles has added another triumph to his many successes in the role of Romero in the comic opera “The Serenade,” one that is said to tit him better than the Will Scarlet role. Manager John Ruddy arrived yesterday in advance of “The Geisha.” the tuneful Japanese operu that come* to English's n< xt Thursday. •’lay Clement Is having a successful return engagement at the Grand, last night’s audience being larger than that of the opening night. “'Hie New Dominion” will bo een again to-night and to-mormw matinee and night. Its many charming scenes, the pure breath of id* comedy and the acting of Mr. Clement all combine to make up a delightful performance. The few remaining opportunities to see it should not be neglected, Matt L. Berry, in advance of the Herrmanns, arrived last night. This company, claiming to be the largest In its line touring the country, will be at the Grand next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Loon Herrmann and Mme. Adelaide Herrmann aie at its head. The approaching visit of Dr. Nansen to Indianapolis is being awaited with a degree

of-interest seldom felt in an event of that ki|d. The great explorer's lecture at the Gipnd Monday night will attract a large audience. His arctic experiences are thrillrelated, and are illustrated by means oj istereopticon views. A recent visitor to Norway has said of the home life of the NaJnsens: “The Nansen home at Christiaiiia, Norway, is a beautiful house, at the foot of a wooded hill, with fair meadows and fragrant pine woods, and is an ideal retreat for one whose life work takes him away into the bleak cheerlessness of north<TO winters so often. The nome is called Godthaab Villa. The house is filled with woras of art and curiosities from all parts of the world, including trophies of Dr. NanS . fJrec ‘ n ldnd and other explorations. The house is constructed of pine wood trunks of trees, giving it a most picturesque appearance inside as well as out. The furniture harmonizes with It. There are the carved dragons’s heads of the Norse jieople in the furniture as well as in the projections of the house itself, and one is taken hack to the days of tnediaevalism at a leap as one enters this ancient shelter for modern science. The most modern thing in it is the grand piano, which stands in the center of the parlor, and which Mrs. Nansen plays. ••Sign of Hie CroV* Big- BiiNlne**. PITTSBURG, Jan. G. —The business done this week by “The Sign of the Cross” at the Alvin Theater is the largest for an ordinary attraction In the theatrical history of Pittsburg. The sale of seats for the week will reach at a conservative estimate between $12,000 and $13,000. This is the largest week’s business ever done by “The Sign of the Cross.” the highest receipts during the palmiest days of Wilson Barrett’s great play during its long run in London never reaching above SII,OOO. The unusual interest manifested by Pittsburgers in Barrett’s religious drama has caused the greatest surprise among the members and all interested in the company, and the news has been sent to England. The house has been sold out for the entire week, and an extra performance will be given to-morrow afternoon to accommodate the crowds. To-night at least 300 women witnessed the performance from the upper gallery. Mont Remove Tlteir lints. BOSTON, Jan. 6.—An ordinance was recently passed by the board of aldermen providing whenever the patron of ahy theater shall request the manager to have a hat or bonnet removed it must be removed under penalty of forfeiture of license. As a result, it was announced last night from the stage of one of the leading theaters of this city that “on and after next Monday every lady must her hat or bonnet, either before taking her seat or immediately thereafter.” This is the most sweeping order that has as yet been issued by an amusement proprietor in connection with the hat problem in the theater. Charlotte Behrens Taken 111. PORT HURON, Mich., Jan. 6.-Charlotte Behrens, leading lady for Robert Mantell in “The Secret Warrant,” was taken seriously ill here last night after the play, and will be unable to proceed further with the company until she recovers. Asa result, Manager W. M. Hanley has canceled dates at London, S*. Thomas and Hamilton. Miss Behrens is the wife of Robert Mantell.

\ote* of the Mime. Ada Rehan is shortly to ifppear at Daly's as Gilberte in “Frou-Frou,” anew role for her. James K. Hackett, the actor who lias been ill with typhoid fever, is convalescing rapidly. John Drew is still shorn of his mustache. His part in “A Marriage of Convenience” does not call for one. and fherefore he has not permitted it to grow. The play by Clyde Fitch in which Minnie Seligman Cutting will make her reappearance is described us anew form of “A Modern Match,” which was acted five years ago. Miss Marie Burroughs has decided not to join Mr. Robert Hilliard's “A New Yorker” company. She may possibly return to the stago in some other play, however, before long. Estelle Clayton made her debut in vaudeville in New York this week. Her play in which she and her sister, Isabelle Evesson, started out with this season was not a success. ' Sam Bernard, whose intention to go starring in "The Marquis of Michigan” under Miss May Irwin's management was untilunced this week, will open the Bijou next season early in September. “Captain Impudence" is said to be ond of the most enjoyable and most artistic of the season's new productions. It is the work of Edwin Milton Royle. who is starring in' the piece with his wife, Selina Fetter. The success that has attended Andrew Mack’s first season as a star continues to increase, as his New York engagement is still being played before crowded houses. Mr. Mack is playing “An Irish Gentleman,” by Ramsay Morris. Miss Florence Wilberlmrn, who was the leading lady in Darrel Vinton’s company, which recently played an engagement in Atlanta, Oa., is dangerously ill with typhoid fever at St. Joseph's Infirmary in that city. She is believed to be dying. Asa part of a recent charity affair in Denver Nellie McHenry rode through the streets in an open carriage driven by Buffalo Bill, the trip ending at a public square. wheTe she sang ballads and he passed his hat, which the crowd filled with money. Johnny and Emma Ray were the hosts at it yuletfde celebration given in honor of the “Hot Old Time” company in Washington on Christmas eve. An elaborate banquet was served at midnight, and there was a mammoth Christmas tree laden with gifts amounting in value to more than SI,OOO. James F. Hoey, the variety actor, has entirely recovered from his recent illness. Four months ago he was compelled to leave the stage on account of a severe attack of nervous prostration, and since that time he has been under the treatment of Dr. G. T. Bourke. He has spent his time at bis cottage in Sayville. L. I. He will resume his stago work next Monday evening, appearing at the Harlem Music Hall. Charlotte Crane, Hoyt’s leading actress of “A Stranger in New York” company, whose visit to Charleston recently got Miss Crane into trouble at the cadets’ ball, will probably not have an opportunity to return to the scene of her disagreeable experience to attend the ball which society leaders are endeavoring to get up for the purpose of rebuking the woman who was responsible for having Miss Crane sent from the ballroom. "Burt” Dasher is managing the company now in New Orleans and. is on his Wiiy to Indianapolis, where the company has been “booked" at the Grand. A letter from Mr. Dasher says that the “Stranger” company coming here is better in some respects than the one playing in New York. He expects to duplicate the great record made by the “Texas Steer” on the road. The character known as the Stranger In New York, from which the farce takes its name, is played by Joseph Coyne, who made a hit here early in the season with “The Good Mr. Best.” playing the “chappie.” Mr. Hoyt decided to cover the entire country with "A Stranger In N%w York” this season, and to do so he was forced to organize three companies, calling them the Eastern, Southern and Western. Mr. Dasher, having the management of the Southern company, desired to play his own town with his company, and thus secured the Indianapolis date by special arrangement with .Messrs. Hoyt and McKee. The always truthful "Dash” writes: "If we don’t make good as advertised, never take my word again.”

HItOOKS DISCUSSES PRERAPHAELITES AND OTHERS. — t A Lectnre Before the Art Anutoelation by Hejul of a, State University Department. At the president's reception of the Art Association of Indianapolis, held in the Propylaeum last night. Prof. Alfred Mansfield Brooks lectured on “The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites And the Italians of the Quarto-Cento.” The arrangements for the reception were made by Mrs. B. F. Hodges, Mrs. George F. Adams and Airs. Addison Bybee. The west parlor was decorated in pink and green, the mantels being banked with palms and plants brightened by clusters of roses. The speakers’ stand was half concealed by tall palms. After the lecture light refreshments were served and the members of the association and their friends met Professor Brooks. He is a man of charming personality and the title “professor” seems rather incongruous when applied to one of his youthful appearance. Mrs. May Wright Sewall, president of the association, in introducing Professor Brooks, said that the association was trying to revive the monthly meetings which formerly were so pleasant and successful. She spoke of the pleasure it gave the association to know of the great interest the Indiana University is taking in art, and introduced Professor Brooks as the head of the art department in that institution. In an introductory way Professor Brooks reminded his auditors that when creeds and governments become Corrupt they are finally overthrown. This is also true, he said, of tlie tine arts, painting, sculpture and architecture. When the arts sink into baseness tho inevitable wave of reform sweeps over them. Out of reform good finally comes. “Luther gave us Protestantism," said he, “yet few- men will say they believe their creeds are perfect in doctrine or practice. George Washington gave us a new government. It is not perfect. There are many things we might desire, yet none would give up his religious belief or his country because they are not perfect." It was the desire for reform that found expression in the pre-Raphaelite school. Professor Brooks said that one of the most common, withal wrong ideas, was that the pre-Rapha elites were a society of men bound together to make pictures like those before Raphael, of religious subjects, and that their works were simply copies, servile in drawing arid treatment. Before discussing them, he said, it was necessary to speak of the conditions that made them reformers. To do this it was necessary to trace art from the earliest days. But little is known of the art of the Greeks, but he said it was reasonable to suppose that the art of painting was as highly developed as sculpture and architecture, yet there is nothing left to strengthen this idea—none of the work itself—nothing but written descriptions. Through some Byzantine manuscripts, illuminated with paintings of religious subjects, come the only traces of the art of the Greeks, and even these are sterotyped and express but little. After the destruction of Greek art it was revived in Italy. The professor then discussed art in Italy, which began to manifest itself in mosaics of religious subjects. He spoke of the difficulties under which the artists worked, speaking of the impossibility of giving the delicate airy outlines of leaves and the soft glow of flesh in mosaics, inasmuch as ihc artist must confine himself to broken bits of material, none much less than a quarter inch square.

THE REFORM IN ITALY. It was an attempt to reform from mosaics that the Italians of the thirteenth century made. They began fresco work on the church walls, Copying the old Egyptian methods of laying op the pigments in water, applying the brush while the plaster of the walls was yet wet, so that the painting sank in anti became part of the wall. It was in the matter‘of gradation of color that reform began. The work of the artists of this period was characterized by the three principles that afterward appealed to the pre-Raphaelites faithfulness, earnestness and perseverance—arid which distinguished them from the sixteenth and seventeenthcentury products. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries there, was lack of accuracy In drawing, perspective there was scarcely any. Their work had hack of it a deep religious spirit, a,desire to teach the people of Christ, one artist's work showing the entire New Testament on church walls. While the faces of the early works were expressive of the passions, they were not human faces. The effects of misty distance and sunlight, now so much striven for. were wholly lacking. The leaves in the pictures can be counted and numbered. The artists forgot or ignored the fart that the leaves of a field or clover cannot be counted. After Raphael, painting was done by’ men of no lofty purpose. Professor Brooks said that he would not be understood as saying that there were no good and great paintings in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The fault was not in the work itself, hut in the spirit in which it was done. Coming down to the eighteenth century, he said that the first English painter of renown, Hogarth, was a reformer. His work was directed to satirizing the conditions of the day, and much good was accomplished by his work. Joshua Reynolds saw and put on canvas the spirit, as well as the figure, of his sitter. Turner's landscapes show the hand of a genius earnest, faithful and painstaking. It was hJs mission to interpret nature and any one of his paintings is a lovely hymn of praise. After this generation art in England deteriorated until just before the pre-Raplmelite school was founded by Rosetti and six associates in IMS. Rosetti's brother, writing of English art at that time, said that it was “wishy-washy” and worthless. The pre-Raphaelites banded together to elevate English art. Looking back over the work of tiges, they saw that which followed Raphael was poor and they took for their models those who went before—became known as “pre” Rapha elites. Their aim was the intellectual elevation and technical advancement of art. Art as they found it was at low ebb, and they reached the conclusion that this was due to the lack of faithfulness, earnestness and perseverance which they found marked the work of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. They tried to revive the mysticism of the thirteenth century, not by* copying, hut by original work on the same lines. They failed. Modern times were not in touch with the mysticism of the middle ages. They adhered to -the natural form and devoted great attention to detail at the expense of breadth. By breadth Professor Brooks said he meant the quality of distinguishing between the relations of the part to the whole. The straw in the painting must not distract attention from tHe whole sheaf. In conclusion he said that the influence of the pre-Raphaelites had been to stimulate drawing and to teach the artist to observe nature more closely. Their influence was felt by their contemporaries not only in France but the Tnited States. Their, faults were soon forgotten, and their insistence on the three virtues—faithfulness, earnestness and perseverenee— must bo felt in the history’ of art. There was some discussion of the lecture, led by Mr. Steele and Mrs. Sewall. Death of Mm. Maria A. Handley. Mrs. Maria A. Handley died at 10 o’clock last night at the residence of her sister. Mrs. Omer Tousey, 840 North Meridian street. Mrs. Handley of late years had lived in Minneapolis, although she at one time resided here. She was brought to the home of her sister about two weeks ago. She was a sister of R. P. Craft, of this city; Rev. Frost Craft, of Decatur. 111., and W. P. Craft, who lives in California. Her husband. John Handley, died several years ago. Tlie Odd Fellow*’ Suit, George W. Shirts, of Noblesville, closed the argument for the defendants yesterday in the suit of Center Lodge of Odd Fellows to enjoin the Grand Lodge from erecting a building at Pennsylvania and Washington streets. Charles W. Smith spoke yesterday morning in support of the petition to enjoin. The argument was on the demurrer of the Grand ixidge and no evidence was taken. Judge Allen will pass on the facts within the next two weeks.

NEW GLASS TRUST DEAL INDEPENDENT WORKS AT ALEXANDF IA TAKEN IX AT fOOO,OOO. * Snnimary of Inspector Leach'* Atinuul Report Showing; Condition of Oil anil Ohm in tlie State. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 6.—A deal has practically been closed whereby the Pittsburg Plate-glass Company, the trust which controls by absolute ownership nine of the twelve plants In the country, absorbs the American Plate-glass Company, which operates mammoth plants at Alexandria and has been the leader in the anti-trust tight. Two representatives of the trust and President Pogue, the latter of Richmond, Ind., have been at Alexandria for the past week making an appraisement. President Pogue says that he w’ill stay with the concern. It is thought that the appraised value of the concern will be paid for either In stock of the trust or in cash. The plant is one of the largest in the country and was started this week with five hundred hands after being closed down for some time. The company has its headquarters in Indianapolis and is capitalized at $1,000,000. Major C. T. Doxey, now in Hot Springs, was formerly president and is heavily interested. The plant was formerly the De Pauw plate-glass concern. W. M. Karns and J. W. Neal, of Pittsburg, are the representatives of the trust in Indiana making the appraisement.

ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 6.—State Gas Inspector Leach and State Geologist Blatchley have just finished making their final rounds and are now at work on the natural gas and crude oil reports of Indiana for 1897. In, the oil field the reports kept by pipe-line companies will be used for statistical reference, but in the gas district there are no authentic records kept from year to year, and in this report Inspector Leach will make the first estimate that has ever been given of the total operations in the gas fields of Indiana since Sept. 16, 1886, when the first well was opened at Eaton, in Delaware county. Additional interest centers in the natural gas report this year, ow r ing to the agitation growing directly out of the recent waste of gas in and around Alexandria, this county, where a great deal of oil drilling was indulged in during the nine months since the first oil well was opened in that territory. Six weeks ago it seemed as if people of the State would force the Governor to call a sjiecial session of the Legislature to enact more adequate gas-protection laws, but the Governor took the matter in his own hands and directed the difficulty off into another course by bringing suit in the name of the State, enjoining operators from leaving wells open and allowing gas to waste. The suits are now in the Supreme Court for final action, and will be heard on Jan. 25. State Gas Inspector Leach will forward his report to the Governor on or about Jan. 15. His careful estimate on operations in the Indiana gas belt since the first well was opened, ten years ago, will show that 5,350 wells have been drilled. Os this number about 2,300 are now being drawn on and are considered “good” or “fair” wells. The others have been abandoned or invaded by salt water. The original area of the Indiana gas fields was about 5,000 square miles, occupying the apex of the great I^iwrenceburg-Valparaiso arch. At present the area of the gas-pro-ducing field is only about 2,800 square miles, the edges where gas once existed now being occupied by oil, and at the extreme edges by salt water, which underlies the oil. This shows that the great reservoir of gas lies on top. oil underlies the gas. and underneath the oil lies the salt water, the hydraulic jKiwer from which the pressure is derived. Thus, when the gas is drawn off. the oil begins to flow% and when the oil is exhausted salt water rises and tills the holes, arising to the height of sea level. Lake Michigan probably furnishes the pressure for the Indiana field. The Indiana field being on the up?x of a bowl-shaped arch, the confines of the field narrow gradually. The origihal pressure, according to the report now being compiled by State Inspector laiaeh, was about 325 pounds over the field. One year ago this pressure hud fallen in the ten years preceding to about 220 to 235 pounds. The pressure this year will be from 215 to 225 pounds on an average over the field. This is a remarkably slight decline for a year, probably 50 per cent, less than was anticipated a year ago, though in and around Alexandria, where the best territory lay last year and where the greatest gas waste has been during the last nine months, the pressure has declined seventyfive pounds, while the product is dangerously near the water line. The report will give as the reason for the slight average decline in pressue the Introduction of more economic methods in burning. Mr. Leach takes a very bright view of the future and states that there will be gas enough for all for an indefinite time and for domestic use for many years if the present cases against waste by oil men—now in the Supreme Court—are decided in favor of the State; otherwise the greatest blessing Indiana has ever had will be allowed to waste in short order. , Mr. Leach states that oil operations In the gas territory have almost entirely ended, at least for the present. There are only four derricks up in all the gas territory Os that number only three are drilling They are located near Swayzee, in Grant county, and the other derrick is in the Alexandria field, in Madison county. This is in striking contrast to the operations going on in the Alexandria field last summer, when scores of drills were pounding away at the strata. One or two good pools were opened and one or two persons have made money out. of oil. It Is estimated that the oil operators dumped $500,000 into the field in leaser and wells and have got scarcely $50,000 in oil. all told. Many men were ruined. The only trouble with the Alexandria field lies in the fact that it is not yet “ripe.” When the gas is exhausted the oil will flow readily, and indications are that it will prove one of the best oil territories in the country.

Abandoned and Sew Oil Well*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER, Ind.. Jan. (’..-Something will have to be done to protect the oil and gas fields. The- past few days a trio of wells have been abandoned throughout the State, and should one of them not be plugged as they should be, it might In a short space of time drown out most of the producing wells for miles around.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 6.-Mr. W. H. Soale has received a notice from the Pension Bureau that the Purley Kight for whom he secured a pension as the minor heir of Frank Kight, an Indiana soldier, who died here in the early seventies, and for whom he was guardian, is not the real Purley Kight. The government had paid SBOO to Guardian Soale. and a lawsuit in which the young man alleged that his guardian had illegally retained SSOO of the pension money and for which the jury gave him a verdict brought unexpected evidence, which first raised a doubt as to the identity of the Purley Kight*to whom the pension had been granted. The department has an application for pension from a Purley Kight at Urbana, 0., where the Kights once lived, but the claimant cannot now be found. The alleged Purley Kight here had been accepted by a sister from whom he was separated when as children they were placed in the poorhouse. The claimant here was also an inmate when a child of the poorhouse here, and has been identified as Charles Wesley Matherly, nephew of William Matherly, of Vigo county. He is married and was recently living near Martinsville. The rightful Purley Kight is not yet found. Richmond ‘‘Bucket Shop” Closed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Jan. 6.—The Richmond Grain Exchange, a branch of O’Dell & Cos., Cincinnati, which has been doing a flourishing business here for the past three months, did not open this morning and probably will not be reopened. On Tuesday last W. L. Hibberd, the local manager, should have deposited to the credit of the firm in a local bank $Bl3. This he failed to do. The amount of money due the local investors on that day’s business was $2,000, but instead of sending a check for it they sent a representative here who declined to pay over the mony because the deposit had not been made. They also have in their hands more money belonging to local people, which has been placed with them for investment. The affairs of the concern are much muddled up, and, if necessary, legal steps will be taken by the losers to get back their money. They claim that Hibberd’s failure to make his deposit does not relieve the firm of its obligations. Hibberd could not be found today and is reported to have left the city. It is not believed that there is anything wrong with his business dealings. New .fudge Selected to Try Johnson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Jan. 6.—A momentary tilt between Judge Custer and Attorney A. E. Steele yesterday afternoon led to developments which culminated this morning in an application for a change of venue from the judge in the trial of Noah Johnson. The reasons stated in the affidavit are “bias and prejudice of the court.” This suggested the question whether a change of venue could be taken at this stage of the trial. In the investigation of this question it developed that the higher courts had decided that a trial had not begun until the jury is sworn to try the case. Judge Custer therefore sustained the motion, and Judge L. L. Kirkpatrick was asked by telephone to try the case. He consented, and came to Marion this evening for that purpose. He can be here only long enough to impanel the jury, when he will be required to return home. Witnesses were thereupon inforrped that their presence would not be required before Saturday. To-night the attempt to secure a jury was continued. National llloodhouml Owners. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

DEPLORES THE GAS WASTE. Standard Oil Man Who Think* Indian n Should Conserve Resource*. V. W. Beeson, of Montpelier, w'ho Is connected with the Standard Oil Company, is registered at the Denison. 110 said last night that the oil business in Indiana is nows very quiet. The Standard Company is laying no extended mains and he did not think it probable that it would tap the Broad Ripple field. “The product of that field,” he said, “ia now amply taken care of by tank transportation, but of course if the Held should develop as some of the operators seem to thlnlc It will, it might be that the Standard Company will see tit to pipe it. I was talking to-day with Messrs. McKnlght and Murphy, who, I believe, are the largest operators at Broad Ripple. These gentlemen appear to be confident that they have discovered a good territory which needs only development to make it one of the best yielding districts in the State.” Mr. Beeson says that the Peru field lma decreased in output from 3,r00 barrels a day to not much better than 2,000 barrels, and other districts also show a falling off. This oil of the Indiana field is an inferior grade and brings about 45 cents. Speaking of the waste of gas, Mr. Beeson said that it was a deplorable sight to s. the four or live burning wells In the viclnit* of Alexandria, and he did not blame the gas people for making their present tight. “It is my opinion,” he continued, "that the State should regulate the output of natural resources such as gas and oil, so as to conserve the supply as much as possible, for any great wastage will ultimately be a toss that the community will sorely feel. It seems to me that some device could be discovered for saving- the gas as well as the oil from these wells.” Young Herrmann’* Suicide. There seems to be no doubt that Philip Herrmann, the adopted son of Undertaker Herrmann, committed suicide. Young Herrmann's friends can assign no reason for his suicide. He has had a checkered experience during the last two years, having been twice before the Criminal Court on serious charges. Mr. Herrmann succeeded in gaining him his liberty, and it is said he hart been leading a quiet life since. He assisted Mr. Herrmann in the business ami was at work the morning of the day he killed himself. City lloMp'tnl Inmate* Insane. Pearl Watts, aged twenty years, was declared insane yesterday.
