Celebration at tbe Keform School lloaor of the State's Birthday. In The seventy-first anniversary of the ad mission 01 maiana into tne union was celebrated at tha Keform School for Bays taturaay evening, ine school Derne a State institution, the management think It is appropriate that the day should be observed every year, and have concluded to do so in the fntore. The State was ad mitted on the llth dar of December, lSlü. and last year the celebartion was on that day. The boys marched to the chapel and opened tne exercises with a patriotic song. All tue best patriotic songs were sune with spirit The first address was by the Superin iendent, Prcf. T. J. Chariton, who sketched the history of the region now embraced in the present territory of the State no to 2510. This led him to apeak of the different Indian tribes that dwelt 'n the limits of this State, their habits and the Indian battles, closing with Tippecanoe. Ha then Epoke of the early French explorations and settlements, the straggle with the great powers of Europe for the possession of the vast "Western territory, the expedition of General George Rogers Clark, which resulted in the capture of Vincennes. and then cf the organisation of Indiana Territory, and the character of the people ho first settled in the borders of the present Slate. As Prof. Charlton is thoroughly posted in United States history, and consequently is.familiar with the eariy history ot the West, and for years lias tsugbt and drilled the boys in it once a wtek, his address was intensely interesting, mtersperted, as it was, with questions to the boys, which were promptly answered. The next address wa by Judge Lewis Jordan on the history of the Stale from 1816 to the commencement of the civil war. Be spoke of the character of the early settlers, the laws they enacted to punish crime and protect the Sabbath; the - early interest taken in schools, and the religions tendencies of the early settlers Which resulted in the bnilding of houses cf worship in every neighborhood. The . Judge for years has been collecting Incidents of the early history of the S -ate, and his address showed him to be very familiar .frith its general history. .Mr. O rant Cox next made a short address and told several anecdotes of early limes, which greatly amused the boys. Chaplain Blake was the last speaker, and lie commenced with the history of the war. jThe Chaplain was at his best, and if this XT as a report of a political meeting the word Spellbound wonld be used to describe the eüect hia speech had on the boys. As Chaplain Blake is well posted on the material resources of the State he grouped these together in a masterly manner and made the boys feel that tney were living in the most 'highly lamed Slate in the Tnlon. He closed with a strong appeal to the boys to become worthy and good citi- . sen a of our glorious State. The exercises lasted three hours, but the Interest was unabated nn til the close. Is it not strange that a greater effort is not -made to teach the children of Indiana her history, for there is much in it to deeply Interest the boys. In this respect the boys at the Keform School are more highly favored than all the other boys in the State. Murdered Hi Friend. I.OC is villi, Ky., Dec. 11. A special from Mount Vernon, Ky., says: Yesterday, at Conway, this county, A. Baker com xnenced teasing Thomas Rose, of Jackson County, about a wooden button worn on his (Rose's) coat, resulting in Rose Shooting Baker through the bowels and wrist, indicting wounds from which he will die. The wounded man has a wife and two children. The parties engaged in the af fray have heretofore been considered as the best of friends.

The stock market to-day was moderately active bt weak almost all dar long: A determined attack was made upon the list at the opening by the bearish room traders, and a marked imprest ion was made upon values, the prevailing dullness offering the oppoitunity. There was very little support given the list, though there were some baying orders which absorbed the offerings, but the market became weak acd demoralized and so remained until late in the day. The attack again centered In the Bichmond J and West Point stocks, and dissensions in the board of directors with reports that an injunction wonld be asked for to prevent the payment of the dividend on the preferred stock, and that a bull pool in the latter had dumped its stock to-day, were put forth as reasons for the eae with which it yielded to the pressure. All the active lUt were attacted, however, and the coal stocks a.d the Pacific roads were especially weak. Among tie specialties Fj. Worth and Denver were sold down on reported sales of stocks for the new extension. After the downward movement had spent its force there was a partial re covery, thouKh the Improvement amounted to fractions only aud did not matcirally aflect the result of the day's trading. The opening was irregular but generally he vy with the same narrowress of tue speculation noticed last week, but the list immediately yielded, and betöre the end of thejflrt hour declines y to per cent- had been established, The extreme weak ness then dissapcared, but the activity wen with It and by noon the market was extreme! dull, while prices s'ill remained at the bottom.

CONGRESSIONAL

What tbs Two Houses are L kely tj lttempt Darirg iU Comixg Wk. Secuta Will Spend Host of its Tims Djcassiig Recess Nornisttiocs. Hocss Likely to Adjaarn far Losg Periods to Awiit the Committees. Ho Werk will be Done Until After the Holiday Ree ms Ih Democrats on the Senate Committees. Washikgtof, December 11. The Senate la expected to formally elect its committees to-morrow, thus ratifying the work which the Republicans on their part have already performed in caucus, and which the Democrats will have accomplished before the body is called to order. Little besides! the introduction of bills is likely to occur daring the remainder of the week n the open sessions of the Senate. The I "resident has before him 35 messages nominating postmasters alone, all of whom have been appointed daring the recess cf (Jongms and are already in oilice, which he will send to the : Sen ate as soon as he can examine and sign them. Other recess nominations, sullicient to bring the number up to about COO, are expected during tne week. Daily secret sessions are likely to occnr for the pnrpose of reading and re ferring these, and it is possible that some of the cabinet nominations already sent to the Senate, but not yet laid befoie the body, may be reported for action before the end of the week. All the important com mittees will hold meetings daring the week for the pnrpose of organization, and of surveying : preliminarily the work be fore them. The daily sessions of the Senate ere likely to be short ones. Short sittings and Iodr adjournments may be expected in tbe House of Representatives this week. It is possible that a day may be set apart for the introduction of bills, but several prominent members are known to be opposed to a continuance of this practice and their objections may result in deferring tbe opportunity until after the announcement of the camniittee. The Speaker will appoint the Committee on Rules within a day or two and recess fortwodavs will probably be taten in order to allow that committee an opportunity to consider and report upon the various propositions that have already been introduced looking to amendments of the former rales. Jlr. McCreary'e resolution requiring the general appropriation bills to be reported to the Bouse by the committee within sixty days after their appointment during; the long seesion, will probably be speedily and favorably reporfed by the Committee on Rules, and the discussion followingjthe report may consume the time of the House for a day or two. There is also talk of an aggressive movement by the friends of the House officials recently displaced, which may enliven tbe proceedings duriDg the latter part of the week. SENATE COMMITTEES. A caucus cf Demscratic senators will be held to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose of takiDg action on the report of the caucus committee relative to the minority representation on the committees of the benate. The following is a correct list of the Senators who will represent the Democratic party on the committees named, except that one or two changes may be made in committees of minor im portance , euch as Revision of the Laws: Appropriations Beck, Cockrell, Call, Gorman.

Cokcoepia, Kan., December 11. Thia morning about 2 o'clock, an armed mob surrounded the jail at Leoti, in this, Wich' lata County, and made a desperate attempt to lynch James Allen, who is confined in said jail on the charge ot having been im plicated in the killing of Coulter and Ramton. February -Tin last. Jobn 11. Kd wards, sheriff of tha county, with Dick Wade, his under sheriff, were in the jail at the time guarding thetr prisoners. The mob broke in tne ail door and demanded the prison ers. Aheir demands being reread by the officers, the mob opened a heavy ' . fire with Winchesters and 41s on the occupants of the jail. Tbe offl cers returned the lire, fighting bravely (or their men. and. after a fierce ficht, saoceeded in repulsing the mob, severely wounding several of them and saving the life of their prisoner. The names of the wounded men cannot be ascertained, as they are secreted by their friends, hone of the occuD&nta of the nil were lniured. Allen was arrested on tbe 9th instant, and ws taken to tbe Leoti jail yesterday. He filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. All the men who had been arrested prior to thia date, on the same charge, had been released on bail by the Supreme Court, and the news that Allen was attempting to obtain hia release on ball enraged the Leotlan, with the above result.

oyal" absolutely Pure;

The only Baking Powder yet found by chemical annlysls to bo entirely free from lime, and absolutely pure, is the " Royal.' ' This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes, which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder but the "Royal." Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for the U. S. Government, who made the analyses for the NewYork State Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the ingredients of all those sold in this market enables him to speak authoritatively, says of the purity, wholesomeness, and superior quality of the "Royal": "I have tested a package of Roynl Baking Powder which I purchased in the open market, and iind it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum pr phosphates, . or an y injurious substance.' "E. G. LOVE, Ph.D., " U. S. (jotirnviint (5,imV.

Hs wanted it distinctly understood, however,' that his retirement was entirely voluntary, and waa in n way due to the efforts ol tho people who have shown so much dissatisfaction at his retention in oilice. Tbs principal reason for the proposed step, he said, is his desire to better his condition in life by goininto business for himsalf. Wille not desir.ne to pose aa a martyr, ;t was a fad that he retained his present o:5'jce at a personal ejxrifica much longer than he aad intended. Aa other reason why he had net resigned before wa that he was being assailed upon all side 3, and he could not bring himself to retreat under fire. All the statements mads by ilz.
