Indianapolis, Auj. 15. Acting under instructions from Judge Stubbs, of the jueniIe court, eight boys, vho were charged in that court with visiting a
saloon at Davidson aiid Maryland
streets, have constituted themselves detectives and are looking for twe men who sold them quantities o!.' whisky and beer. The juvenile court purposes "doing the rest" when the identity of the men Is pstublished by the amateur sleuths, who assert that they have forgotten the men's names, if they ever knew them. , Said They Didn't Know the Men. The boys told Judge Stubbs that they had visited the saloon known as "Ted's Place," at Maryland and Davidson streets, Saturday night, a week ago. All of them drank beer, they s iid, and two of them became drunk. None of Ihe boys was more than 18 years old and two were only 14. All of the boys disclaimed and knowledge of the identity of the owner of the saloon and his bartender, who are said to have been in the saloon on duty when the boys obtained beer and whisky, and Judge Stubbs released them on their own recognizance. Must Know When They Keturn. lie told them that it would go hard with them if they did not return to court at that time with the names of the bartender and his employer, whereupon all the boys promised to obtain the desired information and be in court at the appointed time. When the boys were arraigned all of them stolidly maintained that they did not know the names of the men who had sold them intoxicants, and a visit made by an officer of the juvenile court to the place where the loys were drinking brought forth the information that the man who operated there ten days ago had removed to another location. The boys gave their promises that they would discover his whereabouts and name and the name of the bartender.

Man W hose Wife Thought Him Dead, Discovered Alive-Policy for $3.OOO Insurance Involved. Fort Wayne, Iiid., Aug. 10. Martin Hammond, who disappeared over five years ago, leaving a wife and children, has been found at Lafayette. He was much wanted by the National Union Insurance order, owing to the fact that Hammond's wife recently began suit against the order to pay over to her Hammond's policy of $3,000, on the theory that Hammond was dead. She wished the court to declare Hammond legally dead in order that she might get the money. The order began a search for Hammond and found him in Lafayette. This will compel the dismissal of the suit. Mrs. Hammond had kept up the payments in order to protect the policy. Hammond says he has been traveling all over the country, but will not give any reason for the desertion of his family. Tempest in Southern Indiana. Evans vi lie, Ind., Aug. .". The most severe storm in many years has visited southern Indiana. The rainfall in this city amounted to more than two inches in. less than an hour. Three buildings Mere partly wrecked by thcstorm. The cellars Mere flooded and the upper floors gave way, throwing the occupants into the water. None of them was injured, however. Reports received from surrounding points say the storm was general.
Toledo, O., Aug. lo. Judson C Clements, member of the interstate commerce commission, has berun an inquiry on behalf of the government into the relations between the railroads entering Toledo and the ice companies shipping over these lines. Joseph A. Miller, manager of the Toledo Ice and Coal company, and one of the men sentenced to the workhouse by Judge Kinkade for conspiracy in restraint of trade, was the first witness called by the government. He Worked for Two Companies. Miller's testimony was to the effect that previous to five years ago, when he became manager of the ice company, he was purchasing agent for the Ann Arbor railroad; but while an agent for the road he had sold ice for the ice company and was paid by the road and that Wellington 11. Hurt, president of the Ann Arbor, and Harry Ashley,
general manager, were directors of the
ice company, and that practically all
the stoHc nf the ice company was
owned by the railroad people. He fur
ther testified that the office of the ice
company is located on Ann Arbor rail
road property, but that no rent was
paid. Other Signs of Combination.
The 100 or 123 men sent each year
bv the ice company to cut ice were car
ried free bv the Ann Arbor road until
1004 when a flat rate was charged
Miller testified that as manager of the Ice company he traveled over the road
on an annual pass. Ed Sehuler, man
ager of the Schuler Ice company, with ice houses along the line of the Ann Arbor road, testified that his company received no favors from the road, and
that the houses are not on railroad
property. Immunity Is Promised.
W. A. Bradley, superintendent of the Ann Arbor railroad, and a stockholder
in the Toledo Ice and Coal company,
when asked by Commissioner Clements how he could justify the acts of his road in giving favors to one ice
company and withholding them from another, frankly answered that such
acts could not be justified, but that he
had nothing to do with the arrangements. Luther Walter, attorney for the commission, made a statement that those who testified for the government would be immune from punishment, but if convictions followed the corporations they represent would be punished.
Spirits Had Undue" Control. Minnie. Ind., Aug. 15. In a suit that relatives of the late Andrew Johnson, who was murdered in Muncie, last winter, have brought to break the will, it is al'eged that Johnson was a believer in Spiritualism and that in making his will he was influenced by advice given to him by so-ca lied "spirits." It is charged that these spirits had undue control over Johnson.

Says He Would Do the Same If He Had It to Do Over. The most important witness of the afternoon session was Wellington 11. Burt, once receiver and president of the Ann Arbor railroad. Burt testified that he was president of the road when the Toledo Ice and Coal company was organized; that he suggested the organization and coaxed the employes of the railroad to become stockholders in the concern, but that he did not know the road carried freight for the ice company free of charge. He knew the ice company was using the railroad real estate as a basis of operations, but this was done by other companies which produce freight. In regard to free or reduced freight rates for the ice company Burt said it is the custom to haul freight at half rates for building up industries. When asked by Commissioner Clements if ho did not think it bad policy for an official of a railroad to be interested in industries along the line, and thug be in a position to discriminate in rates. Burt replied that if he had it to do over again he would do exactly as he did in order to build up the business of his road. Employes of the Ann Arbor testified that supplies and men were carried
over the road free of charge for the Toledo Ice and Coal company. II. E. Meyers, local freight agent of the Pere Marquette railroad, was the last witness for the day. He said the Michigan Lake Ice company was the principal shipper of ice over his road, but be had no records to show that the company was given a lower rate than other ice shippers. When asked to furnish the ice rates of his road as he himself would want to know what they were the witness laughingly said he did not think he wanted to know, but would try and get the information.

Did you ever Idly wonder. Though you knew it quite absurd. If an uncle in Australia, One of whom you'd never heard. But who would, if he existed, Be In every way a trump, Wouldn't die some day and leave you Half a million In a lump? Though your mother had no brother And your father was as shy On that sort of a relation, Is that any reason why In that far and distant country Pome one should not pass away Who was every inch an uncle, "With the records clear as day? Did you ever spend the money That was coming on a boat. With your uncle's last fond wishes In a brief and business note? Did you build with it a castle On the borders of the Rhine, Or endow a modern playhouse. Or Invest It In a mine? Yes; I gruesa some hunch has led you Out of nothing, to believe That you had a wealthy uncle Somewhere maybo up your sleeve. But the trouble with that uncle If ho Uvea as live he mayIs that he's so very healthy He will never pass away.

In these days when there is so much talk about the meat supply that Is disconcerting to the stomachs of particu
lar people we turn with confidence to the American hen, knowing that the corrupting influence of commerce has never touched her and that we may partake of the soft yellow egg without the least fear that adulterants of any
kind have been squirted into it.
To be sure, in some boarding houses
they may lay it around in a hot place
until it is overripe and not what might be called an ideal food, but that is not
the fault of the hen who originally
turned it out.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the hen in theso days when we have
learned to distrust every one. She is never seen sneaking in the back way to a drug store to get a can of yellow;
paint to increase her output. She is al
ways content to do the best she can
with such material as she can find In the neighbors' gardens. The move to make her the great American bird In place of the eagle deserves the boosting along of all who eat.
Source of Inspiration. "How did you like my article In the Joykillers' Review?" "Very fine indeed. You must have been talking with Tommy before you wrote it." "No, Indeed; it was original. Tommy who?" "Tommyrot." Usual Place. "1 am searching for a lost gold mine." "Where have you been looking?" "So far where it Isn't."
Choice of Varieties. "Is she his only daughter?" "Y'es, and she is the apple of his eye.' "Looks to me more like a peach."

That a man's word Is as good as his bond may not make the bond marketable. You never heard of a mortgage taking a vacation. A noisy brand of disinterested kindness fills the sophisticated mind with suspicion. The hardest part of holding a snap
job Is dodging the inspector. The sense of humor refuses to work smoothly when the hardship of the situation is your own. There are some people who are below suspicion. A lazy man is a joke on the hustlers. When you find a frigid lady, try thawing her out with ice cream sodas. Nothing Is such sweet music to some people as sound waves of their own making.
