and sentenced to thirty days In tha work-house for associating with thieves, He did not like his sentence and said; “I will plead guilty to forgery sooner than suffer the disgrace of going to the workhouse.’* “I can’t help you, I’m afraid,” said Judge Stubbs. “If you have been guilty of felony and choose to tell the officers, I may have a chance to reconsider your

oase.”

The man hesitated a moment, looked at the dock where waiting prisoners are cenflned, took a step forward and then came back. “Well,” he said, “I have been guilty of felony. I have forged a check and passed it, and if you’ll send an officer with me PH put him on to the whole thing. I won’t go to the worx-

house.”

Robert B. Ball and A. W. Watson are old friends o<f Lawthom, at present in the county Jail. They were seen by the detectives with Lawhorn and Conner, and were arrested on a charge of associating with thieves. Ball said that while in Michigan City he was employed at deputy clerk and thus became acquainted with Lawhorn. He was In the prison under the name of Havens. He said that after he got out he got employment In the California House, this city, and while there renewed his acquaintance with Havens, alias Lawhorn. waggon said that his real name was Albert D. Forbes, and that he was a brother-in-law of John Paul Jones, who was elected Clerk of the Supreme Court on the ticket with Governor Morton. He said that he went to the war as a private and that after the war he worked hi Governor Morton’s office as private sec-

retary.

Watson’* Story. After he had told the judge that he would sooner plead gtrtity to felony than go to the work-house, the police took charge of him. Instead of going to the work-house, he wa« taken to the police station, where he told the following story of the crime: He was with Lawthom and Btfll at the California House, ’they told him they had two or three jobs of bun in prospect, and urged him to hold Himself in readiness to help them. They went to Greenwood, saying they fc*d been employed to check up some books, and left him in town With no money to get along with.

A* To 0 Mine Inspector. To th* Editor of The Indianapolis Newrf In view of the fact that the office of mine Inspector, has been In the past a political reward for political service, Instead of g blessing to over seven thousand min.-workers, and their depend? ants, Is it not time that some reforms were made in that directl'm? In 1889, the Legislature took tfie appointing power

fully sympat petitioners in

ha

titloners in the manner In which they

petitions if not granted, deserve' favorable consideration than that of an attorney-at-law. He may rest assured that the miners will not tamely submit to such treatment. I verily believe that had it been the least apparent before the election that such an appointment would have been made not a miner in the State would have voted for Mr. Blatchley. As a Republican miner, I would have considered it my duty not only to have voted against him but to have done ali in my power toward his defeat. In 1887 Wm. Fisher somehow became popular and was elected president of a portion of the miners of the Btate. However, they soon found that he was not ih sympathy with them and they asked his resignation, which xvas tendered. He has devoted his whole time to the practice of law ever since, and how his political friends can confound the practical lawyer with the practical miner is beyond my comprehension. Laws exist to no purpose for those who have not the ability to enforce them. Hence, until the appointment of mine inspector be taken out of partisan politics and based on a system of oivil service reform, the mining laws might just as well be erased from our statutes. SAMUEL ANDERSON. Knigtitsrvitye, Ind., December 12. The, State of the L>S>n* rose. To the Editor of The Indianapolis News. 1 have read in The News of last evening, and also in one of the morning papers, a statement made to your reporter by one Mr. Lyons, of Lafayette, now being tried for a violation of the internal revenue laws, vis.: Having in his possession empty packages with the original stamps not being canceled, the penalty for which 4s a fine of 1500 and imprisonment for each package so found. Mr. Lyons stated that two of Collector Jump's deputies offered to settle with him for *150. The intent of the statement is evidently made to cast suspicion on the deputy collectors. Now. the facts in the case iare these: The packages mentioned (whisky barrels) were seiaed by Special Revenue Agents Bowen and Noonan, of Cincinnati, and not by Mr. Jump's deputies, as stated by Lyons. It has been a custom when & violation of this kind is found, that revenue agents making the dicovery tell a violator as a matter of kindness to him, to make a statement of the oase to the collector In the district in which the violation Is found, and deposit a small sum of money, which statement and money Is forwarded by the collector to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who, In his discretion, may accept the offer of compromise; In which case no prosecution follows. Now. If Mr. Lyons had followed the advice oi the special agents and offered any reasonable excuse, ne would not be on trial for the offense, the penalty for which is $500 and imprisonment in each oase. I make this statement so that the public may not be under the Impression that the Revenue Department is run as Mr. Lyons In his interview Infers. Also, in justice to Mr. Jump and his deputies. P. J. R1TAN, Deputy Collector. Indianapolis, December 1L Lafayette Soldier*’ Home Project. To the Editor of The Indianapolis News. I notice in your columns an extract from a Lafayette paper that the citiaens of that city are going to donate cottages for the old soldiers, their wives and the Widows of ex-soldiers, it being understood that the home will be built on the cpttage plan. There seems to be no doubt that the Btate will endow and establish this home. Let children of the public schools of Indianapolis raise the amount of $250 and erect a cottage, and over the enrtance subscribe, “Erected by the public schools of Indianapolis." Evlry child will have an interest in this home and each will feel a patriotic pride In contributing to this worthy cause. Over the cottage let the stars and stripes ferever wave. I hepe some arrangement will be made to raise this amount. The sum from ,each would be small; 5,009 pupils giving 5 cents each would build the cottage. Those who can not give a nickel may give less. If the amount can be raised, which it can be, let a cottage be erected costing more. Let each school contribute, and the amount so raised bo placed in the hands of the general superintendent to be gfiven to the trustees of the home. The writer will send to custodian of the funds $1. I am an admirer of our country’s defenders. FRIEND. • r • Baililiwv and Limn Association*. To th* Editor of The Indianapolis News. I have a little home In this city that cost my dead husband $1,500. He had got it paid for down to $500 at the time of his death. I am forced tp borrow the money on mortgage. I once could earn some money teaching, but now my little ones require all of my time and care. 1 can join a building and Joan fund association and get a loan of $404 and give a mortgage for $500. The affable gentleman who represents the association tells me that the $36 held back pays dues, premium, interest and expenses for the first three months; that after that I will have to pay only $15 at the end of every month, and that If the association prospers and I keep up my payments every month, my share of the profits will make the money cost me a very low rate of interest. I wish I knew now many years l would have to go on paying $15 per month before 1 could call my home my own, and whether a building and loan fund association Is a safe way out of my present

stress.

The New Street Cpr Rales. To tb* Editor ot The In<iiana«pli8 New*.

We have now put up with three days of miserable accommodation since the new rule of stopping at tfee newest

crossing went imo effect. We hope the eompfiny will change again to the old system on the unpaved streets. As patrons we approve of the new method as far as Washington, or in fact, any improved street is concerned, but for the others, give us the old way, And we will be satisfied to take a little caution and be careful of the cars. As for safety, there Is more danger the way the cars have to stop in the middle of the cross street, especially where the curve is so short and abrupt, and the regr end is stopped upon the crossing, than it was before. # PATRONS.

Word* pf

To th* Editor of The Indianapolis News. Seventeen years ago, while pastor of the Locust Street Methodist church, of Greencastie, Ind., I read carefully, with pleasure and profit every day, the little Indianapolis News. I was impressed with the ability and enterprise of the management, but especially with its moral courage. I often said then that a paper with such moral pluck wouid have a great future. The years and the public have virfdicated your loyal support of the right, and your fearless warfare

upon the wrong.

PAROLED FROM PRISON SOITH BY THU GOVERNOR.

Story of His Pl«a of Gatlty aad Heary Sentence—-Tlie Pro*ocntur’s Effort* To Seenre HI* Pardoa—JSd Yorger.

William H. Schrelber, once the cashier of the First National Bank, of Columbus, Ind., is again a free man. Governor Matthews paroled him from the prison south to-day. When Bchreiber was sent to prison four years ago, hi* case attracted wide attention. The Bartholomew county grand jury In 1890 indicted him for larceny, and embezslement, upon the evidence of the First National Bank officials that he had taken $8,600 of the bank’s funds. Schrelber was found in Canada. At his trial he was told to plead guilty in order that he might receive a light sentence. He made the plea. To every one's surprise the judge, now dead, sentenced him to twelve years In prison, a term lacking only two years of the most sfivere that could have been fixed. The prosecuting attorney, W. H. Everroad, had been led to believe that Sohreiber would receive a light sentence, and he spoke to ths Judge about the matter. The Judge replied that he had fixed the sentence for example’s sake, and that executive clemency, he thought, might be invoked after a few years, in oase young Schrelber mads a good prison record. The prosecuting attorney was active in securing Schrelber’s parol* from prison. Evernoad was for six year* prosecuting attorney Hi Bartholomew county, and In that t'me, he says, of fifty men sent to prison, Schrelber Is the first one for whom he had asked mercy. Among others seeking the parole were two stockholder* of the First National Bank—Heseklah Griffith holding $27,000, and John 8. Crump,' holding $10,000. Others petitioning the Governor for action were James C. Laughlin, ex-auditor of the county; Frederick Faik. the retiring coroner; James L. Kyle, E. B. Newby and John S. Cox. It Is not known whether Schrelber will return to Columbus. Although he was only twenty-four when he was sent to prison, he was one of the town’s beatknown citlxens.

West Indianapolis.

About two hundred people were present in Spencer's Opsra House, West IpdianapoliH, last night whep the “indignation meeting” wgs called to order. As soon as it was seen that the remarks were going to be mainly against the saloons, about one-fourth of the number, including several politicians, left, but the remainder stayed un«ai the end.

The Rev, Robb Baring said the enforcement of the laws of the State was Something that the churches and minister* COU d not afford to Ignore. In West Indianapolis some of the State’s and society’s most Important laws were violated with impunity. This condition would remain until public sentiment was aroused. Public sentiment in the suburb had already done something as it had resulted in the consideration of a screen law which would have its final passage at the next Council meeting. People were too indifferent as to the enforcement of laws. He urged the people of the suburb to be not behind Indianapolis

in Its enforcement of laws.

Since the people had taken the enforcement of the law& into their own hands in the suburb, one saloon-keeper after another had been caught and fined, and the officers had been led to a gambling den, where they captured seven prisoners and the paraphernalia of the

He said the people of West Indianapolis were too good to stand Idly by and have the trash of Indianapolis poured in upon

CHE0NIC CATARRH

A Disease of Many Forms and Knows Many Name?.

The question la often asked how Pe-ru* na can be so honestly recommended for so many different disease*. Dr. Hartman's reply to this question is as follows; Peeru-na Is an Ideal specific for catarrh wherever located. Catarrh 1* only one and the same disease whether located in the head, chest, abdomen or pelvis. It so happens, however, that catarrh of tha various organs of the body ha* come to be known by different names, and In this way the Impression is made that Pe-ru-na ia recommended for many dlaeasee, when the fact ia they are all one disease. Catarrh of the nose Ie called ozena, catarrh of the throat 1* called pharyngitis, catarrh of the larynx is called laryngitis, catarrh of the bronchial tubes Is called bronchitis, catarrh of the lungs Is called consumption, catarrh of the stomach is called dyspepsia, catarrh of the bowels Is called diarrhoea and dysentery, catarrh of the kidneys is called Bright’s disease, catarrh of the bladder is called cystitis, catarrh of the womb is called female disease. But all of these dlseasea from begin Ing to end, are simply chronic' catarrh, and whatever remedy is capable of curing. catarrh in one location Will cure it In every other location. Thu* it Is easy for any one to see that In recommending Pe-ru-na for this lung list of diseases, it is really only recommended for one disease—chronic catarrh. Pe-ru-na will cure them all for the simple reason that U will cure any one of them. Every one interested In this subject should send for a free copy of the family Physician No. 2, which completely explains the whole subject of chronic catarrh.
