Officials Wish the Accused Man Kept at Jefifersonville Until Feb. 29. NO COURT OF INQUIRY Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD. Ind.. Feb. 12. James McDonald, under arrest and incarcerated in the Jeffersonville Reformatory, charged with the murder of Miss Sarah Catherine Schafer. will not be returned to Bedford until Feb. 29. While the general public is not Inclined to place much credence in McDonald's ullt. yet Detective Smith, who returned last night from Jeffersonville. is satisfied that sufficient evidence has been secured against McDonald by the officials to convict him. Sheriff Frank Smith was considerably worried when he received Governor Durbin's letter regarding McDonald's disposition and immediately conferred with an attorney. He was advised he and not the Governor would be held responsible for the prisoner's safety and to use his own judgment and discretion legarding the matter. There was considerable criticism of Govegnor Durbin's letter here to-day, many persons evidently misunderstanding the motives of the Governor's suggestion. The Evening Mail printed a denunciatory article. Officials here want McDonald to remain at Jeffersonville. The court of Inquiry did not convene today because Ietectlve Reed was out of the city. The mysterious stranger under police s.irveillanre will be taken before court of Investigation to-morrow. VIEWS OF THE FATHER OF SARAH C. SCHÄFER

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART. Ind.. Feb. 12. If John Schäfer, father of the murdered school teacher, keeps close track of newspaper reports of affairs at Bedford he does not betray the fact to interviewers, and the assumption is that he does not. He has repeatedly declared his lack of confidence in the reports, basing his distrust on the falsity of the many theories that have been advanced involving a love affair. Members of the family have constantly maintained that they had not thf) slightest clew to suggest, but Mr. Schafer's demeanor clearly Indicate. he wh- not at all convinced that McDonald was the guilty person. "If he is the murderer," Mr. Schäfer said to-day, "I believe he was hired to do it." He would not give a reason for this belief. JUDGE WILSON WILL HASTEN THE TRIAL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOM INOTON. Ind., Feb. 12. Judge Wilson, refering to the effort to have James McDonald, who is accused of the murder of Sarah Schäfer, returned to Bedford, said that he gave the order to retain McDonald at Jeffersonville prison and he thought it judicious that he remain there until necessary for his return to Bedford for the preliminary trial. Governor Durbin, he thinks, will agree that this is the wise course to pursue when he understands the situation. Judge Wilson says that so far as the maiMnery of the courts has the power, there will be no delay in the trial of McDonald. M'DONALD IS NOW LEGALLY COMMITTED Demands of the State have been satisfied In the case of James McDonald, alleged murderer, who Is now a prisoner In the Jeffersonvile Reformatory. Due to the action of the mayor of Bedford in committing McDonald, charged with the murder of J fearah Schäfer, without a hearing or other authority. Governor Durbin's letter was sent Thursday, and received yesterday morning by the sheriff of Lawrence county. Karly yesterday morning, however, an order of commitment was received from Circuit Judge Wilson by Warden Whittaker, of the Reformatory. As the situation now stands McDonald is a legal prisoner at the Reformatory. Yesterday the attitude taken by the authorities at Bedford was a silent admission that there was danger of mob violence to the prisoner should he be returned. This has been changed by the order of Judge Wilson. The Governor's letter to Sheriff Smith will stand as an admonition to the authorities when the prisoner is returned to Bedford. EDITOR IS ARRESTED. Frank K. Babcock Charged with Criminal Libel. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RLNS8ELAER. Ind.. Feb. 12.-Frank E.

Of the 800 students at Indiana University, there is one who takes more interest in the RussoJapanese war than all the others combined.

Bonds and Other Valuables in a False Brace to a Settee in His Squalid Home.

RICH FIND AT RICHMOND Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind.. Feb. 12.-When John Mason, an aged resident, died a few days ago, coupons were found that indicated that he had secluded somewhere government bonds worth several thousand dollar?. A diligent search was instituted but it was not until noon to-day that the valuables were located. Mason lived alone in a small bOSSfM an'l had so lived for a long time. When the home was entered it was found in a very dirty condition, with a motley collection of old furniture and rubbish. It was not until all the furniture had been taken apart and the cellar dug up to the depth of eighteen inches that the valuables were located. There was an old settee in the house and Mason had cleverly added to this what appeared to be an additional brace, but which was found to be a narrow box and in this were found bonds, notes and deeds that aggregated more than 110,900. The box was securely fastened with ten large screws. The property will be inherited by relatives in Pennsylvania, to which State the body was taken for interment. INDIAA'S LOST RIVER. An nroDxe County Stream That Appears and Disappear! in Its Course. Orleans Herald. Orleans is situated in a valley which on all sides, except on the east, Is surrounded by hills. Just a little distance northwest of Orleans Is a large sand hill, which is thought to be the highest point in Orleans township. Orleans township Is drained by Lost river and by the large sink hole near the town of Orleans. Many small streams and rivers abound in this vicinity, all of which have the habit of disappearing into the bowels of the earth without any system, only to burst forth miles away and continue on their course downward to the sea. Chief of the rivers is Lost river, or River Styx. Its source Is in the corner of Washington county, from whence it flows westward into Orange county. At first it Is an insignificant, crookedly twisting creek, but tributaries add to its flow until when about fifteen miles in length it lays claim to the word "river." During Its journey it disappears several times in jungles and swamps, but the real stream sinks, which gains for it the name it bears; beginning some miles southeast of Orleans, there are four of them at an average of about two miles apart. In dry weather the first sink takes in all of the water, which does not appear until at Orangeville, ten miles west. The river bed between these points becoming a tangled mass of grass and bushes. The sink is but a huge cavernous-looking hole in the ground apd suggests to the curious the entrance to hades, so dark and unfathomable is It. Light rains will overflow the first sink and the surplus water will continue down the weed-tangled channel to the second. Heavy rains will fill the channel to the third, and long continued rains will carry some surplus as far as the fourth sink. In the last case the water has two exits near Orangeville. Where the water is of sufficient quantity to enter the fourth sink it rises through three openings and flows on through the river bed. This dry bed Is not an open channel and is unlike the valley of the usual streams. Large upland forest trees grow along the banks, showing that for a long time the river has been lost in the concretionary limestone below the earth's surface. The underground stream may be reached at the fourth sink, where the cavernous opening is about eight feet wide and four feet deep, the descent being gradual and 590 feet. Before appearing at Orangeville the river comes to the surface about two miles northeast of Orangeville. Here the stream may also be reached. In Orangeville is the rise of the river, but some people think that the true rise is one mile further down on the Higglns farm. O. C. Salyards and some men went into one of these sinks or caves. When they started in they had to pull the brush and trash out of its mouth so they could get through. They say that the floor of the sink is just like the bed of a river and found in these caves are grasshoppers and blind fish. When the water rises at Orangeville it Just shoots up from the ground; it Is very deep at this place, around the opening the banks are very high and steep. The large sink holes around Orleans help to drain the township. A short story comes to my mind in regard to the large sink holes. Once Minnie Ohs and Julia Munger put a bottle In one of these places when the water was going through it and later it was found down in the Ohio river. This sink is Just a hole in the ground which leads the water into an underground channel, which is thought to be a part of Lost river, out into the Ohio. Ate Strychnine Tablets and Died. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 12. While his mother lay sick in bed last night Richard Walter, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Westfall, of 504 South Sixteenth street, found some strychnine tablets lying on a table mar the bed and swallowed several of them.

THE LOBBIES OPEN Postmaster at Shelbyville Receives Conditional Authorization from the Department. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE. Ind.. Feb. 12. A few weeks ago complaint was made to the PostofhVe Department in Washington to the effect that the lobby in the local office was being kept open evenings from 7 to 9:30 o'clock and part of the time no postoffice employes were about the building. The department ordered Postmaster Lewis to keep the lobby closed after 7 o'clock in the evening until time for opening in the morning. This order from the dejwirtment has ylnce been complied with. The postmaster to-day received notice from the department that the lobby may hereafter be kept open. The following ruling has been given In the matter: "When screen work extends to the celling, and all doors, windows and wickets connecting the lobby with the working portion of the office are securely locked, the department will grant permission to leave the lobby open as Ion ;t. ih poatHHMKW may d'.-em it necessary.-' This ruling probably will affect a number of offices in the towns surrounding this city.

RULING

KEEPING

This Company, a'ter testing Liquozone for two years in the most difficult germ diseases, paid $100,OCO for the American rights. That is by far the highest price ever paid for similar rights on at y scientific discovery. We publish th:s fact to show you the value of Liquozone. Men of our c ass don't pay a price like that save for a product of remarkable worth to humanity. Kills Inside Germs The reason for that price is this: Liquozone alone can kid germs in the body without killing the tissues too Nothing else in the world is so good for the human body: yet Lquozone is a germicide so certain that we pub ish on every bottle an offer of $1 0C0 for a germ that it cannot kill. Liquozone destroys at once and forever the cause of any germ disease. And there is no other way to do it. Any drug that kills gerius is a poison, and it cannot be taken internally. Medicine is hapless in troubles of this kind. Not Medicine Liquozone is not made by compounding drugs. Its virtues are derived solely from gas, made in large part from the best oxygen producers. By a process requiring immense apparatus and 14 days' time, this gas is made part of the liquid product. Liquozone has, for more than 20 years, been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research.

EVANSVILLE IN DANGER OF DISEASE OUTBREAK Critical State of the Water Supply Complicated by the Danger of Contamination. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Feb. 12 The greatest danger now feared on account of the crippled water service is an epidemic. The old works is pumping water directly below the mouth the Bee slough, while the West End station secures its supply only a few feet below the Ninth avenue sewer. The Board of Health has issued a warning to the public not to use water from the city mains without first filtering and then boiling it. Dr. Gilbert, secretary of the board, says the water is dangerous in the extreme, and he fears that despite the warning an epidemic may break out in the poorer districts, where people are forced to use the public water exclusively. Few if any of them will be able to take the precautions recommended by the Board of Health. Late last night all three pumping stations broke down and until early this morning the city was without Are protection. No relief is promised until the arrival of the Cincinnati pump boat, which Is expected the ttrst of nxt week. stlonal Bank Organised. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind.. Feb. 12.

The result is a product that does what oxygen does. Oxygen is the very source of

ail vitality, the most essential element of life. Liquozone is a vitalizing tonic with which no other known product can compar;. Its effects are exhilarating and puri ylng But germs are vegetables; and Liquozone like an excess of oxygen is deadly to vegetable matter. Liquozone goes wherever the blood goes, destroying every germ in the body. In this way it cures diseases which medicine never cures. It will do more for sick humanity than all the drugs In the world combined. Germ Diseases These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germi, and such results are indirect and uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs, wherever they are, and the results are inevitable. By destroying the cause of the trouble, it invariably ends the disease, and forever. Asthma. A bsc esses A n em i a.

An Opportunity Which SaargesU Plot for Detective Story. Washington Post. "When you read of mysterious poisoning cases." said the Mount Pleasant girl, "you always wonder how on earth the people ever manage to get hold of the deadly drugs. Of course, there are a great many common poisons that you can buy easily enough in most places if you give your name and address and don't ask for too large a quantity, but the swift and deadly sort are supposed to be out of the reach of the averag'- person. Some of them aren't, though. I had an opportunity only last summer to get enough of the deadliest drug I know about to kill a regiment, and nobody would have ever guessed how I came by It. It was at a little resort not far from Washington, and three or four of us went to have tintype pictures made. The tintype gallery was a little shed, and the photographer, or tinner, or whatever you may call him, had no assistant. He took the picture, disappeared with it for a few minutes into his dark room, and then came out, the sheet of tin in one hand and a round wooden box, nearly the size of a collar box, in the other hand. He set the box down on a table, got out some bottles, and proceeded to dry and varnish the picture over a small oil stove. I didn't see him take anything out of the box. and. as it had no cover, I could see that it was half filled with a coarse, white powder. " 'Is that salt?' I asked. " 'No,' said the tinner, quite as if it was nothing more dangerous than salt, 'it's cyanide of potassium.' "I almost fainted at that. Why, if I'd just dipped a finger into that box I could have brought out enough of the stuff under a finger nail to kill myself or anybody else. If I'd just prodded it carelessly with a hairpin I could have gone away with sure death concealed in my pompadour. Of course I didn't do anything of the kind, and I've had cold shivers every time I've thought of that poison lying around that way. It occurs to me that people who write detective stories ought to make ;i note of that tintype gallery. Can't you see the villain dropping his glove carelessly Into that box and going away loaded down with material for forty murders? Can't you see him suppose he happened to be a waiterpoking one thumb into the box when everybody's back was turned? An ordinary thumb in one's soup is bad enough, but to think of a cyanide thumb that nobody but the detective in the last chapter would ever suspect. The idea might be worked Dp, I think, and 'The Mystery of a Thumb' would he a smashing title."
