IT WAS all very lovely and the
Lake county doctors "done noble." Now when they trot out their little tuberculosis sanitarium scheme before
the legislature, the public will be next

vorce proceedings In which he was the coniDlalnant. displayed a sense of
humor as well as a good memory when
he admitted that he had disposed of a drink to hla wife's attorney for
other than medicinal purposes.
WHILE Dr. Hurty was springing bis talk at Towle's last evening, the Jani
tor was aparently so engrossed In the
subject of how not to have consump
tion that he overlooked the fact that
there, was such a thing as pneumonia
and that a good preventative for this
"dread disease" might have been a lit tie mora steam.
THE FACT is worthy of comment
that It required three private citizens
and a detail of police to eject a man who imagined the Lincoln school was his castle, from the building, while the task was accomplished In the lit
tle home across the street by two wo
men and a little girl. Of course, the men who did the job at the Lincoln school had neither brooms nor pokers and might not have known how to use the former, had they had one. So much In extenuation.

MALL CARRIERS PROMISED
ANOTHER SALARY INCREASE.

Uoont of SS,0OO,0OO Will Be Made Car
riers Underpaid.
Washington. Jan. 23. fians are De-
ing rapidly worked out for a substan
tial lncMmm in the salaries of rural
letter carriers, city letter carriers, rail
way mall clerks and postofflce clerks.
The house committee on postofflces and post roads is giving careful consideration to this matter and, while It
has not been acted upon finally by the
committee, it is expected that Increases
will be authorized aggregating nearly
18.000.000 a year. It has been apparent
for some time that congress at this
session Intends to do something for the rural mail carriers, especially during
the last few days there has been ob
served a decided tendency to mane me
Increase apply generally to employes
in the postal service or tne lour classes
named.
It can be put down as an established
fact that salaries win De increased so
as to ba more nearly commensurate
with the advanced cost of living. An
other thing that Is aiding greatly in
boosting the salaries of the postal em
ployes is the action of the house In voting to Increase the salaries paid to its own members. Many congressmen
feel that It is now up to them to help increase the salarea of postal employes, who are ridiculously underpaid. Otherwise It Is feared there will be a reac
tion that will sweep some congressmen
into private life.

CHARGES AGAINST PASTOR.
Committee Will Pass Upon Conduct of
the Rev. II. C. Amhyret.
Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 23. Or. George
W. Switzer, presiding elder of the La
fayette district of the Northwest Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference,
has called a meeting of a committee of nine members of the conference to be
held in this city Jan. 29. for the pur
pose of Investigating charges that will be made against the Rev. Henry G. Amhyrst. ex-pastor of the West Side
M. E. church. The names of the in
vestlgatlng committee will not be made
publlo until they assemble.
Dr. Amhyrst resigned the pastorate
of the West Side Methodist church Jan. 16. He had trouble with a faction In the church and there was much 111-
feellng. Financial matters were in
volved in the controversy between the
pastor and the official board and this
trouble will receive attention. It is
understood that there are other charges but their character has not been made
public.
Dr. Amhyrst's resignation wa3 sent
to Bishop Hamilton, who is ill at the
home of his brother-in-law In Buffalo,
N. Y., and therefore the Rev. Mr. Amhyrst has not had an official reply from
the bishop with reference to the letter
containing his resignation. No attempt
will be made to supply the West Side
church pulpit permanently until the In vestigatlon now pending has been con eluded.
GIVES UP THE GHOST. Washington, Jan. 23. An unsuccess
ful effort was made yesterday to se
cure tne passage oi me inaiana iea
eral court bill. Representative Foster,
who has charge of the bill, had plan
ned to bring it up under suspension of
the rules, today being suspension day. PreDaratory to doing so he called on
Representative Dixon and tried to In
duce the latter to cease his opposition
and permit the bill to pass. The demo
cratic members generally look to Dixon
for their cue on this bill. Mr. Dixon
declined to favor the bin, giving as
his reason that the senate would tack
on a provision ior an aaamonai iea
eral judge, to which he Is opposed. In
view of Dixon's determined stand Fos
ter did not call up the bill. It will be two weeka before there Is another sus
pension day.
NEW YORK LETTER. New York. Jan. 23. Higher prices
from London and absence of selling
pressure started the stock market off
a shade hieher with iralna raneing 1
from one-quarter to one-half a point in the more active issuea.
Shorts were inclined to cover their
contract in Copper, St. Paul, Atchison, Union Pacific. Smelters, Sugar and Baltimore & Ohio. In view of the exten
sive liquidation which has been going on In the stock market during the past week, a few of the best traders are Inclined to take a more optimlstlo posi
tion upon the stock market and have been purchasers of stock throughout the list, for a fair rallv at least.
The traction shares came in for a
large trade in the late afternoon with
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Interborough being dealt in heavily and at higher quotations.
The bear raid which was in
augurated against Interborough Monday did not last long and today the shorts who overstayed their
market were made to pay dearly for their experience. The common Btock advanced from 38 to 39 and held most of the gain.
It is whispered around the exchange
that the underwriters of this security are making an effort to establish a broad active market upon which to un
load a nart of thri holdings. The
banking Institutions do not think so well of this security as collateral.
There was also a rumor to the effect
that th Tnterhnrousrh company was
planning to issue more new securities

rates obtained being 8V4 and the lowest at 2 per cent. In ordinary times this should nurur for enhanced values in

Another Suggestion.
The suggestion is offered that the
railroad companies be compelled to carry one empty car on all passenger trains which shall be placed between
the engine and the cars carrying the nassentrers. In the great majority of
wrecks it is the forward car that suf
fers the greatest damage. It Is argued
that an extra car behind the engine
if loaded with merchandise all the "bet
ter would lessen the liklihood of ser ious results. Such a car In case of col
lision would serve as a cushion and
break the force of the compact. It has
been proved that riding directly be
hind the engine Is dangerous. The
suggestion Is one that deserves atten
tion in the consideration of the wreck
problem. Lafayette Journal.

Griffiths for Governor.
EX-TREASURER STILL SHORT.
A Legislative Inquiry. , A joint resolution has been introduced In the legislature calling for an Investigation of tiie two recent wrecks, one at Fowler and one at Sandford, in which about 60 persons lost their lives. The resolution is one which should receive general and hurried approval. While such an inquiry would not, perhaps, be as likely to end in as far reaching results as a searching congressional examination, there is no doubt but that benetlcial legislation might be attained. The two disasters, with their fearful cost in human lives are quite enough to demand Investigation of the most rigid and far reaching nature. If the resolution passes and the legislature orders an Inquiry thereby, It should go to the very bottom in both accidents and determine the absolute responsi
bility. No one. be he a high omciai or
a minor employe, should be allowed to
escape. If those in authority are found
to be at all to blame they should be
punished. A few such instances as ex
amples might tend to make travel safer
and attended with fewer risks.
An inquiry of the proper, pointed va
riety by tho state of Indiana, on order of the legislature, would be a decidedly
good thing. South Bend Tribune.

Simon and Dwyer Against Dill.
Indianapolis. Jan. 23. Representative
Condo's bill abolishing capital pun
ishment met Its death in the lower
house on Monday very soon after It had
passed to second reading. It was killed
on the motion of Representative Crav
ens of the minority side. Speeches cov
ring several hours were made in be
half of the bill.
The bill made it Illegal to Inflict the
death penalty on murderers In Indiana,
It was one of the reform measures
urged by Governor Hanly in his mes
sage to the legislature. It was said
the governor hoped to 8av the lives of
four condemned men now In prison.
The governor has long opposed capital
punishment and Representative Condo,
knowing that he had a strong ally in
his fight against this system of pun
ishment had felt that his bill had an
excellent show of becoming a law,
Had the measure passed It would
have prevented four murderers now In
prison from going to the gallows. The
first of the quartet to wlng will be
George Williams, colored, who killed
Policeman Petticord at Indianapolis. The date of his execution Is Feb. 8
The legislature's action will also be
depressing news to William Spores. Constantinos Stalhocopoulas and John Lipidat. Spores Is to swing on Feb. 25 and the other two men on March 29, if Goevrnor Hanly can find no reason for interfering. Representatives Ed Simon and Schuyley Dwyer were among those who voted against the bill.

TRUST SPENDS MONEY. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 28. The steel trust Is preparing to spend nearly $2,000,000 in draining Traut lake, seven miles from Grand Rapids, Minn., and reducing what Is now a beautiful body of water four miles long and a mile wide to a mere mudhole. Trout lake is in close proximity to the Canisteo mine, which has been opened by the steel trust. The mine will be of considerable depth. The nearness of a deep body of water Is resulting in much moisture soaking through the soil and into the shafts, from which It is necessary to pump continually. With enlargement of the underground working the menace and expense from the excessive moisture
in the soil will Increase. So the owners
decided to get rid of the lake. For
some time past agents of the steel
trust have been at work purchasing
and securing options on the land abutt
ing on the lake shore. This work has been about completed and it Is ex
pected before long to begin the digging of a canal which will drain the lake
into the Swan river.

ing higher from the opening gong. The
May option scored an advance of almost
a cent a bushel, selling over 79 cents.
which represents a rally of four cents a bushel In the past week. The trade
was considerably larger than heretofore. One of the larger elevator concerns bought a line of wheat presum

were made as to the amount of wheat sold to exporters today, some claiming

The market closed strong within a fraction of the highest prices. CORN Displayed some weakness early In the day, but later regained the lost ground when the wheat market became so firm. It was said that farmers In Illinois were more liberal sellers of corn on this advance. Weather conditions are Improved somewhat and crease before the end of the week.

Wedding Check Went to Pay Debts. Persons who have been at a loss to select presents for marrying friends often have fallen back upon the "sensible" practice of sending a check. "It saves the bride the bother of exchanging presents," has been the excuse. But the scheme ha3 drawbacks, as in the ease of a young man of social standing but slender means who re
cently married a girl whose father is
one of our city millionaires. The wedding took place in Pans and several
New York friends of the bridegroom "chipped in" for the sending of a largefigured draft. They expected he would
buy an automobile or some other really necessary article. Great was their annoyance when they learned the young man had used the check's proceeds to settling debts. He had gone to the extreme of meanness, in their eyes, and they will think twice before they make that form of gift again. N. Y. Pres3.
Zulus Paid Tribute to Bravery of Louis
Napoleon. How Prince Loula Napoleon was killed by the Zulus June 1, 1879, is told graphically in the book $ by Sir Evelyn Wood, who took part in that war. The little party which the princa accompanied was surprised and at
tacked. Sir Evelyn writes: "Tha
Zulus in pursuit ran first after the two white soldiers who were on the fianks, three or four men, headed by Labanga,
followed the prince. His horse had
jumpetKiust as he was mounting, and his sword fell out of its scabbard. Hs was very active, and was vaulting on his horse in motion when the wallet on the front of the saddle broke away, and he fell to the ground, being at this time only 60 yard3 behind the (Brit ish) fugitives. There were seven men who actually fought the prince. When Langalebele, pursuing the fugitives, first saw Labanga, he was running away from the prince, who was rush ing at him. Labanga, crouching ia the grass, threw an assagai at him,' The first assagai struck in the prince'a thigh, and, withdrawing it from the wound, he kept his foes at bay fcf
some minutes. In the native's words i 'He fought like lion, he fired two shots, but without effect; and I thre an assagai at him which struck him. as I said at the time, but I always allowed Labanga's claim to have killed him,, for his assagai hit the prince ia the left shoulder, a mortal wound.' "
Intended Victim Dumps His Money Inta Mailbox and Thus Saves It. A West end man had an experienc recently that made his hair stand oa end and had it not been for his Quick wit in devising a means of getting 6u of the difficulty it might have cost him dearly, says the Duluth News-Tribune. He is the treasurer of a local lodg and was returning home from a meet Ing with a considerable amount ol money in his possession, fortunately, the greater part of which, was In currency. He got off a car quite a distance out in the West end and turned off a side street toward bis home, when he noticed that he was being followed by two suspicious looking men. Quick as a flash he pulled an envelope out of his pocket, addressed it to himself.

Up went hi3 hands and the robber went through his pockets. He smiled grimly as the holdups secured only a few dollars la silver, and he thought with pleasure of the money he had put in the mail box in Uncle Sam's care. The robbers went away com
