'iio. is defim:d. "What t oiisrllntcs Jurtsilictlminl AvermenU In a liiiteil Mut Court i:pluiiied. Judce Taker has remanded the suit ci Frank Winkler against the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad to tbu Clay county Circuit Court. Winkler brought suit to recover JJO.Ox) damans for personal injuries. The court sent the case to the state court, because the petition to have it removed to the United States Court was not tiled until after an answer had been filed to the complaint In the state court. Another reason for reminding the case was the fact that it did not appear anywhere in the record that the dr ferula nt company was 'a corporation oranIzd under the law of any State other than the State of Indiana. "The Interesting point Involved In this decision." said a lawyer, "i the clean-cut statement of what constitutes Jurisdictional averments of diverse citizenship. Judge Uaker decides that a corporation is not a cititen of any State, but for the purpose of HUinxr and beln; sued it will b treated as a citizen-of the ftate under whose laws It is created and organized. In this caj the papers alleged the railroad enmpanv to be a 'citizen and resident of Illinois.' when the averment nh Mild have been that it was a corporation created by the laws of Illinois. Jurisdiction In the Cnite.J States Court depends upon Ptatute and the averment must be technically accurate or the Jurisdiction rails." In the -ae of Z bert against Sammd Jlunt, receiver, decided yesterday. Jude Haker hei 1 that while It Is necessary to allege tht the defendant Ik a 'nonresident of Indiana' th.? petition of Hunt showed that he was a citizen ami resident of Ohio whic h etated a lcx-il conclusion that Jlunt was a nonresident of every other State, because a man cannot be a resident of more than one State at the same time. ANOTHER BEIEF EXCORIATED. i Action of Appellitte Court In Ctue of Dr. Jacob If. Oliver. The cVci?ion of the Clay county Circuit Court refusing to revoke the license to practice medicine held by Dr. Jacob H. Oliver, colored, was reversed yesterday by the Appellate Court. lr. Oliver obtained his first license under the law of 1ST. which required the filing with the county clerk of an affidavit showing that the applicant was a graduate of some reputable medical college. This license was continued by renewal year after year until the new medical law went i".to effect. The State Medical üoarri granted Oliver a license in spite of his admission that he had attended Howard Mt Ileal CoUeue but had not cm; l. ted the course.

A BIG DEAL IN LAND

m. Asm:it. or ki:mk kv, cami: m;iti; to mii; i. ii. riTZc;i:itAi.i. IIo Waiitei! to Sell Hint Ten Thounanil Acre of Oklahoma Land for Iii .Neu Colony. THE DEAL TAKES A NEW TURN Mil. ASIIHK HAS AIIOIT DHCIDi: TO JIIY l ITZ(ii:it.MJ S LAM). A I'rolmltillty Hint the Colony Scheine Will He Abandoned Somcthing About ."Ir. Anher. G. 1. Ashcr, one of the most influential men politically and financially in Kentucky's bluegrass region, has been in the city several days staying at the Denison Hotel. Mr. Asher lives at Loudon Park, one of the suburbs of Lexington. His farm is known as "The Meadows." While he pp'-nds the greater part of his time In Ken tucky. Mr. Asher is heavily interested in Oklahoma land, owning In the neighbor hood of P),(Mj acres in Pottawatomie county He came here with the view of disposing of this land, or a part of It, to P. II. Fitz gerald, who some tlmo ago started a colony In the Territory. Mr. Asher said last night that affairs had takea a different turn from what he had expected. Instead of selling his land to Mr. Fitzgerald the latter had offered to dispose of tho land he hail already procured for his colony. Mr. Asher Faid he had practically decided to buy this land, consisting of about one thousand acres. It Is the understanding that Mr. Fitzgerald will not proceed with the colony Idea in Oklahoma, as ho found ho would be unable to buy as much land as ho wanted at the price he had expected to pay. Mr. Asher says that Oklahoma dand In the neighborhood of his holdings is worth from $10 to JJ an acre. He is much pleased with the outlook for business prosperity in tho Territory. "The opportunities there for joung men who are not afraid to work are excellent," he said last night. Tucumseh, the county seat of Pottawatomie county, is a modern town, he says, and the land about it is of the best. Planters raise cotton, wheat and corn in abundance. This year the planting season is far ahead of the North. When Mr. Asher left the Territory the corn was far enough advanced to bo out of the ground. INDIANS OWN LAND, lauch land In th Territory Is owned by the Indians, the government acting aj their agent to prevent them from being swindled by unscrupulous traders. If a white man or a man of any color de?lres to purcaise h:nd of an Indian the sale must first be upproveu by the government, whica sends uu agei:t lo look the land over. Thi .oins of sale must be submitted to the Department of the Interior, and if It is founi the Indian is not receiving a sufficient sum lcr his land the department Interferes v!th tho sale. If, on the other han i, it is f juud that the Indian is receiving more than hij land Is woth tho department allows tht sale to proceed. Mr. Afhtr Is not highly impresso 1 v:lli the stability of the average Indian. "While in Washington some time ago," he said, "1 had a talk with the secretary of the interior, and told him plainly that I did not think the government had accomplished anything by doing what it has for the Indians. The secretary replied that the government had the satisfaction of doing its duty." The government looks after the Indians carefully. It takes the Indian child from the door and places it in school where it can bo educated. When the child is old enough to work t he government gives it employment of some kind during vacation, a im pays it J0 a week while it is employed." Mr. Asher says that occasionally a white settler in Oklahoma marries an Indian girl usually to get the parcel of land she owns. He says he knows of one white man at whose house he has often remained over night, who has an Indian wife, hue is a sweet. Christian woman, ha s-ays, devoted to li.r family. She is nn excellent cook and makes the finest biscuit to be found in the Territory. AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY. Mr. Aher is one of the most Interesting personalities in Kentucky. Residing now in the heart of Bluegrass, he is a native of the extreme southwestern or mountain section of the State, and his boyhood was that of a typical Kentucky mountaineer. His first business ventures were at Pineville, the county seat of Hell county, adjoining Whitley, the native heath of former Secretary of State Charles Finley. Asher, as ardent a Democrat as Finley is a Republican, has been for years one ef the latter's warmest friends. He is one of a family of live brothers, and all. without advantages other than those given by the common schools of their native county, have acquired wealth and position. Land and mining investments have not alone occupied Mr. Aslur's attention, but he follows with keen insight the fluctuations of the New York ami Chh'ago stock and grain markets, and is unlfo::nly successful in his financial ventures. He is reputed to be worth about 57.V.oi, and the recent bull movem'nts in stocks and corn have borne a full share in raising his wealth to this figure. About lifte'n or sixteen years ago, whlla he was living at Pineville, the Louisville Nashville wished to run a spur through his land, on the side of a hill above his house, paying him a merely nominal sum for the actual amount of land taken. The running of the road would destroy tho value of tho land for residence purposes, and Asher wanted the company to setth on a basis commensurate with the damage elone. This it refused to do. Asher luht in a Winchester and a supply of ammunition, and when the graders reached his line he gave them notice that the first man to stick a spade on his side of it would be perforated. None had sufficient nerve for the test. Ho enforced his rifle ejuarantine for several weeks, and the company finally settled at his figures. Soon thereafter he removed to Iexlnston. In the lloebel -Taylor campaign of IVO the Ooebel election officers in his precinct at Lexington, fearing that a majority v ould be cast asainst their candidate, refused to oien the polls. Asher and a col1 ze professor forced an entrance, threw out the Onehel men afu-r they had n?ain refus'l to permit the election to proceel. and called on the voters present to name th'ir own election officers. This was don., at! parties being represented on the improviscd board, and the election proceeded to an- orderly finish, with no complaint of 'eriminatlon or unfairness on the part of any citizen entitled to vote. THE CITIES OF INDIANA. StntlHtlc Shnnine the Increase In Their Population. Statistics showing the comparative populations of Indiana cities In 1W nnd IIvO hae been pr pared by R. D.

NEW $1,000,000 COMPANY IXniAXA CATTLK COMPANY BUYS 117,000 ACHHS OF LAM). The Denl Completed In Thi City Through the .evr York Investment Company. A big land deal was completed yesterday at the office of the New York Investment Company, in the Stevenson building. The Indiana Cattle Company, which was orgnnizcl in this city, purchased through the investment company 117.000 acres of land In southern Georgia, in the neighborhood of Homervllle. It Is the purpose of the company to clear the timber off the land as rapidly as possible and devote It to the raising of cotton, cane and cattle. R. F. Nycewander, president of the Investment company, left yesterday for Georgia with members of the company to inspect tha land and get ready for work. Mr. Nycewander is interested in the cattle company. The land. It Is said, contains a fine growth of pine timber. I. George R. Martin, secretary of the investment company, said last night he was not yet prepared to give the names of thoso who compose the company. He saj's there are no Indianapolis men aside frdm Nycewander Interested. Some men living out of the city are shareholders, he says. The new enterprise is named the Indiana Cattle Company because it was organized In this State, he explains. The company Is fo be capitalized at tt,0"0.000. It will probably be incorporated In one of the Eastern States. The New York Investment Company recently disposed of 51. OX) acres of Georgia land to another concern, it is stated. P0RTY HOURS' DEVOTION. The C'IomIiik Ceremonies Observed at St. John's Church. The closing ceremonies of the forty hours devotion In St. John's Church were held last ni?ht. This sacred rite brings with it all the beauty of the church in spring and the large number of people present were eager to get places cf vantage from which to witness the impressiv Service. Long before the I our of commencement the large church was filled to overfiowing and many stood in the lobby and on the steps leading Into the church trying to witness the scene. The church was a flood of light from hundreds of incandescent electric lights, and the large altar where the blessed sacrament was exposed was artistically arranged with lighted candles and bunches of cut flowers interwoven. After a short prayer at the beginning of th service Father Wade, of Liberty, Ind., delivered an eloquent and instructive sermon on the celebration being brought to ta close. 4.t the conclusion of the sermon Rev. F. H. (Jvisk began the recitation of the litany of the saints, which was responded to be the children seated in tho front pews. Following tho recital of the litany the procession of the blessed sacrament around the interior of the church was be?un. Rev. James McCool in the lead was ollowed by Master James Quinn, an acolyte, and tvo assistants carrying a large cross. Then cume forty or more young acolytes dressed In surplice and cassock. In the rear of tnese wre about sixty little girls, ranging in ages fromn six to twelve yours, dressed in white and wearing veils and wruaths and each one carrying a large bunch of cut flowers. Back of these were twelve tiny girls strewing flowers on the floor in advance of the priest carrying the blessed sacrament, and . as each child dropped her offering it was accompanied with a prayer recited aloud. Under a large silken canopy back of the little Mower girls was Rev. Stephen Donohue carrying the sacrament with his assistants. Rev. Victor Drucker anu Lyons, of ßrownsburg, and James Wade, of Liberty. Rev. F. H. Gavisk acted as master of ceremonies. The procession passed through the aisles In a most impressive manner while the organist played the Te Deum. Immediately after the solemn procession vespers were sung and the papal bonedictlon given. A VICIOUS BOY PINED. He Offended Little CHrln ou the Street Other Cuse. In sentencing Cleveland Carter, seventeen years of age, to pay a fine of JluO and costs and Imprisonment for thirty days, Judg.-? Daly yesterday in Police Court said ho was sorry the law would not allow him greater latitude. Carter had been arrested and charged with offending persons on the street. The fine was later reduced to J10. The prosecuting witnesses were little girls, seven and eipht years of age, who declined to tell the judge what Carter said to them, saying: "It s too awful to tell." Edward Justice, who was arrested at the same time and on the same charge, will be tried to-morrosv. Yesterday, however, it appeared that he was with Carter, but there was no evidence showing he had participated in the conversations. John Marks, a dealer in fruits at the market, charged with selling by short measure, was fined $10 and costs. He appealed. Prayed While LyliiK Flat on Floor. A dispatch from Chicago states that Mrs. Flora Nelson, wife of Thomas H. Nelson, of Indianapoll?, created a mild sensation at the Hiln'ss convention Monday by approaching the altar and, Instead of kneeling there, lyi-g at full length on the floor.

DRILLING OF ONE lU NDRFJ) M PFRM -MCItAItir.S AT KMil.lMI S The Worlc Done hy the Veteran evr York Theatrical lliuiiigcr, Mr. A. M. lu liner. PREPARING TOR MANSFIELD hi: will pit o. "Mosti:i n iu:auCAIIIE' A EAT YEAH. Ait Interesting; Chnt on Matter Theittrlcn 1Yn title t ille Manager Meet lit Cleveland. The unusual spectacle of a great theatrical manager and producer engaged in the work of drilling a hundred supernumeraries was witnessed on the stage of English's Opera House yesterday afternoon and last night and may be seen again this morning and afternoon. The man In question is Mr. A. M. Palmer, Richard Mansfield's business associate and manager of the production "King Henry V." He came direct from New York to Indianapolis to superintend the advance details of the performance which will be given to-night. Mr. Palmer registered at the Rates yesterday about noon and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon he was hard at work showing tho "supes" how they must comport themselves in thw great performance to-night. Hy 10 o'clock last evening the veteran manager had got his assistants to a high state of proficiency and felt that he could afford to leave them until this morning. "Why do I attend to the training of the supernumeraries myself?" he repeated to a reporter who visited him In his room at the Bates after the opera house incident. "Why, simply because Mr. Mansfield and myself cannot afford "to have any hitches In our performances. Wo shall give 'King Henry V in Indianapolis just as It was given in New York and just as it has been given in every other large city visited thus far. I will have these extra people drilled in such manner that when the performance is in progress they will dovetail Into it perfectly." CALL FROM MR. TARKINGTON. Mr. Palmer received a call from Newton Booth Tarkington, author of "Monsieur Beaucaire," yesterday, and accepted Mr. Tarkington's invitation to take .dinner at the University Club in the evening. "We talked about Mr. Mansfielda forthcoming production of Mr. Tarkington's play, 'Monsieur Beaucüire,' only In an Informal way," said Mr. Palmer. "Of course Mr. Mansfield has the play in his possession and is studying out the details. I entertain a very high regard for Mr. Tarkington and think he is one of the cleverest cf the younger generation of American novelists. I have been very much Impressed by his 'Gentleman from Indiana, as well as his 'Monsieur Baucalre.' " , Wheh usked concerning Mr. Mansfield s plans for next ?eaon Mr. Palmer said that the piece de resistance of the diatlngutshed actor will be "Monsieur Beauealre." "Mr. Mansfield will also produce Stephen Phillips's great drama. 'Herod.' which has created such a stir in London thiu season, as presented lav Mr. Kecrtoohm Tree," said Mr. PaI:n-W rii been welcomed by the litem! 1 tnfrRd as a rcnlarkablo example f moscm elasslcism in the ArarnL" Mr. Pointer UUteJ interestingly of the .mfcsUtt pfriuctlon of ''King Henry Ha atatea tne unique iaci n. c first production of the powerful Shakspearean play ever made by an American. "About twenty-vix years ago." said the veteran manager, "the play was given in this country, more as a spectacle than as a drama, but the production was an imported one." Mr. Palmer said that he has a lively recollection of a number of former versions of "King Henry V." and is acquainted with several people who recall productions still older, and from these data he is convinced that the play has never before been presented on such a scale of magnificence as has been attempted by Mr. Mansfield. MATTERS THEATRICAL. In discussing theaterical matters generally Mr. Palmer said that Americans have grown to be the greatest theatergoing people In the world. "I do not believe there is a country in the world where so much money is spent every year on theaterlcals," he declared. "But the American has not progressed very far beyond the stage where he seeks the theater to be amused or tickled. I believe that we can all get amusement or entertainment from high things If we educate ourselves up to that point. All that, however, will come about in time. America does not stand still. Why, when I was a young man it was not considered Just the thing for people to enter a playhouse. Now everybody goes to the theater, even church people." The reporter noted Mr. Palmer's remarkably youthful characteristics, despite his almost white hair, and arked the veteran manager what he did to keep young. "I Just take ordinary care of myself," he replied. "I see no reason why any man in the theatrical business, except perhaps the man who make? many big productions, should not attain to an advanced age." Mr. Palmer admits that he is sixty-two years old, but his step is a? elastic as that of a. man of forty and his voice is full and resonant, carrying with ease to every part of a theater. He said that several years ago he retired from active theatrical lifo, but that Mr. Mansfield had peisuaded him to enter the arena again. "I guess I am back again to stay this time," he said with a hearty laugh. Ynndoville Theater Manager Meet. The theatrical managers of the Empire Vaudeville Circuit Company held a special meeting in the office of the Star Theater at Cleveland, O., yesterday afternoon. The circuit includes theaters In Pittsburg, Louisville. Indianapolis. Washington. Baltimore. Cincinnati. St. LouU. Kansas City and Cleveland.

Heretofore itoom 12. of the Statehou?e, has been the ass ociatlon'p meeting place. There was an excellent attendance of local fiorists and several from outside eitle, among them W. W. Coles, of Kokomo. and J. A. E. Haugh. of Anderson. The membership was increased by the addition of William Bradley, of Elwood, and K. A. Wyatt. of Anderson. The principal topic of discussion wa tho host method of suppressing street venders, who sell flowers cheaper than estahlihed fiorists. It was learned that some of these people have purchased flowers from local fiorists. in some Instances being granted "time'' in which to pay their bills. It was the sense of the meeting that this practice be discontinue!. The members pi cent favored compelling such venders to procure city licenses n peddlers. Nothing definite was decided on. however. Arrangements for the chrysanthemum show in November

and the carnation show next February were discused informally. In the anteroom next to the apartment in which the fiorists held their me-tlng was a small but rich llsplay of several varieties of carnations. Conspicuous among these were samples of tho famous Lawson carnation. The meetings of the association are held on the first Tuesday ninht in each month. NEW RAILROAD INCORPORATED.

President C. F. Plel, of the National Starch Company Make a Stnteiie nt Sioux City Dispatch. "Should the speculation in com continue and the price of that commodity go much higher It will mean that th starch plants in the country under the National Starch Company will have to shut down until next fall," said Charles F. Piel, president of the National Starch Company, last night. Mr. Piel said the recent big advance in corn has been the cause of the starch manufacturers considering a plan to dos down their plants should th prices continue to Increase. He said that under th present high price paid for corn there could be no profit in the staroh business. An Associated Press dispatch from Sioux City, la., last night stated that a telegram had been received in that city from the head offices of the National Starch Company stating that the company will close all of its eleven factories as soon as the present corn supply i3 consumed. The Sioux City plant, which is one cf the largest in the country, will continue until about June 1. The Information sent to Sioux City inclines the management of the plant there to the belief that repairs will be made during the summer, and most of the plants br reopened in the fall. The Sioux City dispatch further states that President Piel Was there recently, and said that all factories were overstocked. It is believed the trust proposes to stop production and sell the present supply at Increased prices. The Sioux City dispatch was read to President Piel last night, and ho said that some ot the plants may be closed for repairs. He then made the statement that it would be necessary to close the plants If corn increases in price. To Dispense with Internes Testimony Coroner Brayton has notified the internes at the City Dispensary that they will not hereafter bo allowed to testify in cases on which he must take action unless they are called. Heretofore they have testified in all coroner's cases in which they were called before death, and for which thoy drew fees. Coroner Brayton thinks much of the expense was needless, and will not now certify to fees unless the testimony of the internes Is necessary to arrive at the facts. Dunlap'n Celebrated Hats.

About Weddin

Just think It over for a moment. Can you imagine anything more thoroughly acceptable as a wedding gift than a picture of merit, a handsome piece of bric-a-brac or an artistic ornament of some sort, for the home? Forget the stereotyped idea of what is customary for wedding presents and purchase something beautiful that will be appreciated. We have an unrivaled assortment of pictures and art objects not all high priced some as low as a dollar others at three, five and ten dollars, and, of course, if you desire still better, they are here.
