Varrlrk Murdrrrr e lins Not Tlem Taken I'p on Appeal. Fl'ctal to th Indiana polls Journal. MICHIGAN CITY. Ind., Jan. K. Willis U. Wheeler, the Warrick county murderer, awaiting execution within the walls of the ' Staate i-rl.-on on Feb. 8, is wondering If a hand will b raised In his behalf. His case has not been taken to the Supremo Court, although the date of his execution is !es than two weeks away. Wheeler used up the little competence that he had In defending himself In the lower court, but he nvas led to believe that bis attorneys would appeal the ca?e to the higher tribunal, and the condemned man had assurances that they would do so last week. But they have Tiled no brief, and Wheeler has about given tip hope. If the case .hould be brought before the Supreme Court that body will have little time to examine Into the merits of the ca5e. and In that event it is probble that a tay of execution will be printed. Wheeler's family of grown-up children has given up all hope of saving him. and only yesterday the doomed man received a letter from his daughter in Warrlck county Htating that she would claim the body. Wheeler Is a taciturn individual of melancholy mien and Illiterate. He is now conlined in the hospital ward, but will be reTnoved to the death chamber in a few days, wher he will occupy the cell in which Murderers Joseph D. Keith and John Pinkard Spent their last days. 9 LIXES IX FULL OPERATION. Terre Hnute Strike Situation Present No Important Neir Feature. ppecial to the In llanapolls Journal. TEURE HAUT!', Ind.. Jan. 2C.-The ctreet-rallway system was operated to-day with less interference than any day since the strike began, a week ago. There were many strike sympathizers in the streets, but there was no violence. The chief of police had issued 'an order for saloons to close, to-day, and they complied with the order very generally. The attitude of the company In opposing arbitration haa come to be so unalterable that there is no prospect of anythln being accomplished at present through conferences or mediation which looks to a compromise settlement. The management 'believes that it has practically won the fight because the street railway, llKhting and power systems are being operated at full capacity. The reasoning of the labor leaders Is that, however much the management might desire to win the fight, on principle or out of pi. Je, that when the financial lo9 la found to continue from uay to day, und week after week, all considerations will yield to the paramount one of earning dividends. The glass blowers have started hack lines from the glass factories in thj new industrial section of the city and have voted money from their union for the itrlkers. There is no do-itt that many persons who refrain from riding do so because of fear of oeing injured. Cars are stoned frequently and spotters are on hand at terminals and other joints to warn would-be passengers of possible danger if they ride. The three trainmen who were on the interurban car from which shots were fired al Seelyvllle, two days ago, when a miner namtd Hagerman was Phot, were arrested to-night on a charge of shooting with intent to kill. They are Marion Allen, conductor, Frank Clayton, motorman, and Arthur Baker, who was riding as a guard or extra trainman. It is said all three were brought to Terre Haute from another city el nee the strike began. EAUL1IAM COLLEGE. Imt of the Cla Debate Held Y. W. C. A. Prospects; Are Good.

Windfall Company Get n. CJool Flou from Abandoned Holen. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. WINDFALL, Ind., Jan. tt. The Windfall Natural Gas. Mining and Oil Company began an experiment la.n week to revive a number of the wells at this place that had failed months ago by removing tubing and packing, drilling out a large amount of parafine and other pediment that had formed and became solid to the depth of fifteen to twenty feet in the bottom of the wells, bailing out, retubing and packing. The first well worked on was completed on Thursday and furni.-hed a flow of gas very satisfactory to the company. A second well was tinished on Friday evening, but the pressure was weak and soarcely worth utilizing. The company decided to improve or destroy the well by shooting it, and yesterday thirty quarts of nitroglycerin wero sent to the bottom with the desired effect. A pressure" of gas almost equal to the original pressure of the well was obtained. The company is much pleased with Its experiments and wili continue the work cf resurrecting its wells.

Nevln. general manager of the Santa Fe lines west of Albuquerque, died suddenly to-day at his home in this city, of paralysis of the heart, at the age of fortyseven. Mr. Nevln retired early, on Saturday evening, in the best of spirits. This morning he awoke about 7:30 o'clock and was apparently just about to rise, when, with a scarcely audible articulation, he turned over on his side, apparently dead. Mrs. Nevln, who was in the room at the time, rushed to his side and found him still breathing, but in a comatose state. She hastily summoned her son, William G. Nevin. jr., and the two vainly endeavored to resuscitate the stricken man. Before the arrival of a physician, who was sum moned by telephone, Mr. Nevin died, with out regaining consciousness.

Railroad Target Man Probably Robbed, Tied and Cremated. WARREN, O., Jan. 2C Coroner Hoover was to-day called to a point on the Balti more & Ohio Railroad between Niles and Girard, in this county, where Michael Sweeney, a target "man. burned to death in his tower last midnight. Trainmen saw the building burning and Sweeney amid the flames gesticulating for aid. Later the charred body was found, and the coroner says there is reason to believe Sweeney was robbed, tied and cremated by tramps. Sweeney was thirty-live years old and single. WEATHER AT ZERO. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) wind kept increasing in velocity. The weather bureau said there was no way of gauging the limit to which the mercury in the thermometers might go by morning, except from the conditions existing in the West, from which the storm was coming. Reports of very low temperatures from the West were reecived. At Bismarck, N. D., it was H degrees below zero. At Huron, S. D., it was 10 degrees below; at Des Moines, la., where Saturday night it was 10 degrees above, it was reported as 6 degrees below. The reports indicated the rapidity with which the storm was approaching and a probability of zero weather before 7 o'clock this morning. A bulletin was received by the weather bureau at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning from Chicago also stated zero weather might be expected by this morning. , Early reports from Indiana points showed little trouole on railways, telegraph and telephone lines up to that time, but that was before the full force of the storm in the West had reached Indiana. Managers of the various companies were, however, giving orders which would result In getting at once at any trouble that might occur. Trains from the Kast were reported behind time last night, but this was not thought to have been due to the storm. No reports had been received from Western trains. The sudden change, as usual, will mean much suffering for the poor people of the city. With little gas and no oth.er provision for fuel, they will be ill prepared to cope with the blizzard.

Nnmlnnr the Baby. Boston Transcript. If fond parents who name a son after his father could look ahead into the child's adult life and see the amount of InconTtnlence and annoyance the dual name can cause, especially if the junior be a business man. they would think twice before inflicting it. Kvtry individual has a right to an individual name, and it is often a serious handicap to a man's career to be the bearer of another man's name even though It may be shared by his own father. As a rule It is unwise to give a child the full name of another person, whether related or not. The

advice given by an eminent Kentleman to a friend on this subject illustrates the point. "Don't name your boy for anybody. It is liable to create invidious comparisons and besides, you may be sorry for it some day. A friend of mine named his boy for a man whom he admired, who in after years turned out to be an embezzler, and was sent to prison. Give the child a distinct unincumbered personality and you will start him fair to build up his own career on his own merits."

FIRED ON THE LAUNCH. Colombian InsurKents Prevented the Delivery of Dispatches. PANAMA, Colombia, Jan. 26. A small gasoline launch belonging to the government and named the General Campo. bearin? important dispatches from the government to General Castro, was sighted Ly the revolutionary lleet near Rio Grande, off the coast of Agua Dulee, southwest of Panama. Two shots were fired at the General Campo from the revolutionary gunboat Padilla, and the former was obliged to return here. The news received here from the United States concerning the Panama canal is welcome. The government has appointed J. G. Lewis, a banker, and F. Mueis, a lawyer, commissioners of this department to assist Senor Carlos M. Silva, Colombian minister at Washington, in matters pertaining to the canal. TROUBLES NEAR AN END AFFAIRS OF UVEHETT-MOOHE SYNDICATE AUE TAKING SHAPE. Practically All the Adjustment Com mittee Can Do Has Been Dom Mr. F,veretta Movement. CLEVELAND, Jan. 2G.-The bankers' committee has now so far progressed with the work of straightening out the affairs of the Dverett-Moore syndicate that little moro can be done of a decisive nature until the reports of the experts concerning the condition of the properties are filed. Because of this it Is probable that no meeting of the committee will be held until Thursday. According to a statement made last night the committee now stands ready to receive all bona fide bids for the purchase of certain of the syndicate properties. But negotiations of such a character can hardly be concluded In the absence of a detailed statement of the condition of the properties in question. During the past few days the financial circles of the city have been greatly encouraged at the general situation as far as Cleveland is particularly concerned. It is said that the traction interests are to be allowed to swing out for themselves. each one as a business proposition of its own standing. This being done, the situation revolves largely about the telephone interests. With the sale of the Federal Company, indications for which seem to be good, the whole situation will be cleared. The report was confirmed to-night that Henry Everett is in New York more on telephone business than anything else. It was stated that he is East in the interest of the negotiations for the sale of the telephone interests. Mr. Kverett practlcally has been empowered by the committee to go ahead with the negotiations, but when it comes to a question of any final action the committee will be accurately informed as to the exact standing of the negotiations. WANTS A BOUNTY ON FISH. Newfoundland's Views on the Proposed West Indian Sugar Bounty. ST. JOHNS, Jan. 26. It is argued In some olllclal quarters that If the British government is prepared to withdraw from the International sugar conference at Brussels, and to provide a bounty on West Indian sugar, in order to assist Great Britain's West Indian colonies, which are inhabited by blacks. Great Britain should also provide a bounty on Newfoundland fish and thereby assist this colony, which Is wholly inhabited by white people, Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen and their descendants. It is held by certain officials that this action should be taken by the Britsh government as a return for the renewal by Newfoundland of the French modus vivendi. BOYS MURDERED BY BOYS.

BELIEF IN SORCERY Responsible for n. 31urder nnd the Arrest of Two Indians. VANCOUVER, B. C. Jan. 26. The steamer Tees has arrived from the north with news of th arrest of two Indians charged with the fecent murder of a Japanese in connection with the tribal war at Metlakatla between Indians of rival villages. From the statement of the prisoners it appears that they had blamed the Japanese or a man living with him for practicing socery, to which they aecribed the death of several of their tribe. By way of revenge they killed Kamamura, a Japanese, in the belief that his death would save the rest of the tribe from the consequence of his witchcraft. CRIME OF A NEGRO.

NOTRE DAME TRACK TEAM

TIIY-OLT SHOWS 3IATERIAL SIPEitioit to tiik gi:ni:hal avf.hac;k. Sixteen Men Picked nnd These Will lie Put Under ltlKid Training First Contest at Chlcugo. Fpeelal to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Jan. 26. The first try-outs were held yesterday afternoon to pick the Notre Dame 'varsity track team fof this spring. The results were very satisfactory, considering the little training the men have had this year, and Coach Butler predicts that Notre Dame's team, this spring will be fully up to former standards. Captain Herbert was unable to compete, owing to illness, and this left Hoover without any competition In the hurdles. Especially good work was done by Staples In the dashes, Geerln In the quarter and Shea in the mile. These men should be running in record time before the opening of the season. Their performances are ahead of anything done at this time last year, despite the fact that the recordbreaking Corcoran was training at that time. KIrby's performance in the shotput places him in the first rank among the weight men; the mark set by him yesterday Is not far from the record of the Western Conference meet, and he gives promise of equaling Powers's record before the end of the year. In the pole vault and the high jump Richon and Sullivan did good work; Barrett, the South Bend boy who was expected to star in these events, was unable to do his usual work, as he had not yet recovered from the fatigue of the basketball game in which he took part on Wednesday night. After the try-outs, Captain Herbert announced that the following men would be given places on the training table: Herbert, Staples, Gearin, Uffendell, Richon, Kirby, Steele, Hoover, Shea, Sullivan, Reichardt. Daly, McCullough, Barrett. Draper, Halloran. From these men probably ten will be picked to represent Notre Dame in the First Regiment meet at Chicoga on Feb. 6. The competition for these places is close, and training during the next two weeks will be watched with interest. Karlham Men In Training. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind..

Dr. Henry M. liurd. superintendent of the hospital, said that Miss Johnston was there for a re?t. Circulation of Hooks. New Y'ork Uvening Sun. It was Interesting to learn at a recent library lecture that the United States leads the world in the matter of circulating literature. England, strange as it may seem, comes fourth in the list, while Italy, also strangely, stands second. All the countries of the old world, France and Germany

notably, have, of course, collections of books far exceeding? anything both in point of quality and quantity that we have over here. But abroad the richest collection Is a collection and nothing more; it Is little else than so much literary dead wood, lying idle on its shelves, as It does. anl neither fructlfylnK nor illuminating. In the Cnited States tlie poorest handful of books 1? turned to account many times over. It Is put in circulation until thousands have the opportunity to profit by it. The greatest of masterpieces never yet did anybody any good by standing Idle on a shelf. Jlve the most unpretentious volume a change and it cannot fail to quicken thought. This is the secret that the United States has learned, and that is why its few books do twenty times the good of the old world's many books. THE COST OF LIVING.

Why It Is Thnt It Is Now UlRher Than Since the War. New Y'ork Financier. Index figures published recently go to show that the cost of living is now at a maximum. Prices, it is true, were higher during the civil war. but for normal periods the year Just closed holds the record. As is not unusual, the enhanced cost of commodities was accompanied by a marked degree of prosperity, giving to those who hold to the theory of quantitative money circulation support for further argument. But the conditions which brought about the present general prosperity have but little to do with the amount of visible money In circulation and the latter, in turn, has onlv an indirect bearing on the question at all. Despite all the arguments which have been advanced, there Is still a popular belief that the material state of society, in a measure, is dependent on the amount of visible currency which a nation possesses. Thus there Is rejoicing when the per capita circulation of the United States rises, and the fact that this Nation has something over $28 per inhabitant, of money In use, is taken to mean that "times are good." The genesis of this remark rests, of course, in the fact that the machinery of credit is In excellent working order, and that confidence is general. The per capita circulation performs but little part in general business transactions. Part of it is permanently in banks, and the larger percentage Is passing through these institutions from day to day. The money In actual dally circulation forms only a small portion of the volume of totals necessary to balance debts and credits. These remarks are necessary if we are to arrive at a correct solution of the cause of prevailing high prices. The range of values is not dependent on the amount of money alone that the country uses. There has been a gradual rise in per capita circulation in the United States, it is true, over a series of four or five years, but the rise in values, it should be understood, has been general the world over at least until very recently and has taken place regardless of per capita circulation. Coincidently. wages have increased. Per capita circulation has nothing to do, as will no doubt be conceded even by most rabid advocates of the quantitative theory, with shortages in crops, or other accidents of nature that establish the quantity of food or other necessities. If we have a shortage in one commodity it is only logical that prices should rise. On the other hand, the cycles of prosperity, which seem as recurrent as the tides, bring about a demand that for the time being absorbs more than the average volume of supply, and we have the siectacle of rising prices. But coincident with this advance there Is usually a similar impetus in the 4llstrlbutlon of profits to the wage earner, and with it also a condition of wider buying power which aids in sustaining a higher level. These are the familiar phenomena of prosperity. The whole structure rests on confidence and credit, and theoretically, having established this basis, there should be an indefinite continuance. It need not be repeated, however, that euch a condition is Impossible. Some one makes a mistake, a local failure is magnified, and men become at once fearful of the future. The process of retrenchment disturbs the whole fabric of society, and prices begin to fall. Then the cost of living, measured in index figures, is lowered, but as a matter of fact, the comfort of living is probably lowered in a similar degree to the majority, since their opportunity for work is curtailed. The whole question revolves around the principle of credit, and its corollary con fidence. Visible money is oniy an unimportant factor. In support of this theory we have only to refer to the disaster attending the forced issue of silver dollars In this country from 1S78 to iv.13. to the panic of 1857, following a rise of $4S3.O0O,0"0 in gold and paper money, and to other incidents of like nature which might be mentioned. Finally It may be stated that the bank circulation In England has been falling for fifty vears, and in the face of this fact, the standard of living has been steadily rising. ' A "SPEED AD STOP CHECK." Device Thnt Helps Overhurdened Horses and Their Owner. New York Tribune. ' An Ingenious little device that is proving a boon to overburdened horses and is bringing woe to many a careless, dilatory or brutal driver is to be seen nowadays on the delivery wagons of many big mercantile houses, breweries and trucking companies. In these days of sharp competition and good wages it is essential to the success of large business enterprises that the greatest possible service be obtained from men and horses alike, but wise employers, who take pride In their handsome delivery animals and pay tidy sums for stanch horseflesh, find no economy in overworking their draught animals. But, try as they would, the managers of many business concerns having fifty or a hundred or more horses found it almost an Impossibility to place the responsibility for abuses until the "speed and stop check," or indicator, of which there are several patterns, came into the market to aid the work of the Bergh Society, delivery superintendents and stable bosses. Now, if Fritz or Patrick stops at his favorite saloon to play a game of pinochle with his cronies and then compels his horses to make up the lost time afterward, it is all indicated on. the "speed and stop check," modeled after the fashion of the cyclometer of bicycle fame. The Indicator is about the shape of an ordinary alarm clock, with a face about five inches across and divided by minute and hour lines. A clock hand moves continuously, but another dial is so arranged that it records only while the wagon moves, stamping each quarter mile as it is wheeled off. The indicator is attached to a rear wheel, and if a driver stops 4he time hand goes on, but the distance marker does not. With the number of miles traveled, the time consumed and the stops all Indicated, It is easy for the employer to tell at a glance if bis horses have been overdriven and if the driver has been attending to duty promptly. AD 31 1 II AULE APPOINTMENTS. Held, Wilson and Clark Fit Men in a Flttlns; Embassy. Brooklyn Eagle. Whitelaw Reid has been appointed special ambassador of tle United States tor the occasion of the coronation of the King of England in June. Gen. James H. Wilson has been appointed representative of the army for the same occasion, and Capt. Charles E. Clark as the representative of the navy, has also been designated for the same function. These are markedly commendable appointments. Mr. Reid is an editor, a diplomat and a statesman of the first rank. General Wilson is one of the most accomplished men in the military service. Captain Clark, who commanded the Oregon on her great voyage from Puget sound to Santiago, and who made his vessel so powerful a contributor t-y the victory on July 3. 1S0S. is an officer of whom the Nation is Justly proud and for whom the government can have no honors, however high, that would not be worthily borne, because thty have been well won. Tnese names are also eminently satisfactory as substitutes for those which had been proposed, not by the government, but by gossip, which has not yet been raised t a governing quantity In our country. Neither educated men nor educated readers of newspapers ned to be told that the appointment of a special embassy to the coronation is a proper thing on the part of this government. The oth r governments of the world will be similarly represented on the occasion, and the United States, as a Kreut world power, and as historically and sympathetically in very close relationto Great Britain, should also be represented there. Those who sincerely think otherwise think ignorantly. Those who say otherwise, without thinking ho, exploit a demagogy which in this period of the lntelliacnce of the world Is a losing business, whether in politic?. In oratory or In Journalism.

"Mercy, what did he say then?" asked the other girl interestedly. "Well, we quarreled good and plenty, and he s-iM-" "Look here, young woman, will you please wait on me and quarrel with your sweetheart afterward?" The girl looked up in surprise, and then her face flushed, and she deliberately turned her back on the customer. The woman, in rlghte-ous wrath, made her way to the floorwalker, and said: "I had always heard that Philadelphia was an exclusive city, but I really 11 fn't ba tej understand that I would have to have a letter of Introduction to the nh p girls before I could receive their attentl.:i long e nough to buy a bolt of ribbon."
