Gen Eagan can bear his punishment with good grace on a salary of $5,500 annually for the next six years with nothing to do but go about and have, a good time. There are said to. be other officers of the army ready to cuss" their superiors in order to get the same kind of a sentence.

The American Steel and Iron Company, a corporation employing 36,000 men, has decided to advance the wags of its employes from 5 to 10 percent those receiving the smallest pay getting the largest in-

crease. The advance will put into the pockets of the employes from $700,000 to $1,000,000 a year. And the beauty of it is that the advance is made voluntarily and in good spirit. Six important expositions are now in sight. The first is the industrial exhibition to be held in Philadelphia next fall, in connection with the Commercial museum. The Paris exposition comes next year, along with one in Glasgow, one in Detroit in honor of the second centen nial settlement of that city, and one in Buffalo to be called the PanAmerican exposition. In 1903 St. Louis will hold a great international exposition to celebrate the purchase of Louisiana.

Hon. Henry Y. Morrison of Frankfort, the author of Indiana's firt ditch laws, has prepared a bill concerning the management of public highways, which will soon De introduced in the legislature. It will merit careful consideration. Mr. Morrison, on account of his experience as a legislator and his thorough knowledge of defects of the present system of laws governing highways is fully qualified to draft a law that will go far toward the working of needed reform in this direction.

The bill abolishes the truant officers. Sena tor Goodwine'a bill requires the sending of children between six years and fourteen years to a school for a consecutive period equal three fourths of the entire school days taught.

He was capering around the bous9 and 3Vidently enjoying himself, when the accident happened. The injury is close to the hip. It has been properly set, and will no doubt heal quickly on condition that the little fellow can be kept quiet while in bed.

Bishop B&demacber's Annual Letter of Regulations. The usual dispensations are made in th e case of the aged and sick and those obliged to perform hard physical labor, while the regulations are similar to those always followed by church mem bers. All days of lent except Sunday are made fast days of obligation and only one full meal a day is permitted. The use of meat is allowed as the principal daily meal on all days except Wednesdays and Fridays, on Saturday ol ember week and throughout Holy week. Fish and flesh are not permitted at the same meal. The use of eggs, butter and milk is allowed, and lard Instead of but ter in cooking. The evening meal is not to exceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal, and in the morning a cup of coffee or tea with a little milk and a slice of bread is recommended for the faithful.

Drammond' Speech Killed It. Senator Hogate's bill providing for a constitutional Convention and which has all along been considered safe, was killed by the timely address of Senator Drummond Thursday. Just before the vote was to be taken, Senator Drummond took the floor and said the propo sition was to eliminate the constitution of the state under which the people bad lived and been governed for fifty years, and substitute for it a new con stitution to be drafted by a set of men to be chosen and who were yet unknown "1 te;l you, senators," said he, "this is cot the time to do this. The present time is one of danger; it is a critical period. In these days of corporations and monopolies and trusts it is the most dangerous thing the people can do to tear open their constitution to be tampered with by trust and corporition representatives; to place themselves at the mercy of fifty men, four of whom come from heiarge city of Indianapolis, where corporations and trusts thrive. The present times are dangerous because the air is full of visonary schemes that prevail in every one of the political parties, and I am opposed to having our constitution torn down at this time. I am opposed to the bill." The vote was taken and the bill was defeated by a vote of 26 to 19.

Wise Makes a Hit. Hon. Adam . Wise addressed the assembly Wednesday on the educational question cow before that body. It was conceded by most of the members of the houic that this speech was the best delivered so far during this session of the legislature. The citizens of Indianapolis presented him a beau'iful bouquet yesterday morning as a token of appreciation of his effort. In his speech, the Indianapolis News says, that Mr. Wise objected to the dragging into the discussion the history of the various State and non-State institutions, and the motives influencing the supporters of both sides of the controversy. The question, he said, was

on the reconstruction of the Stale board; bom sides admitted that some changes should oe made, and ha contended that the discussion 6hould be confined to the best method of reorganization. He favored the minority report, for the

reason that it would not go so far as

the majority report in making the board a political board. The question was one

f education and not of politics.

More Than a Rumor.

The South Bend Times says: The re

port that Siegel, Cooper & Co., the great Chicago and New York department store people are contemplating opeuing 4 department store in Elkhart is some

thing more than a mere rumor, and has

a very substantial basis of fact. The

establishment will cot necessarily be

under the control of Siegel, Cooper & Co., nor will Elkhart be the only city. A syndicate with practically unlimited capital has been organized for tha establishment of large department stores in cities of Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan to be run in connection with such stores in Chicago aud New Yoik. It is the intention, as far as possible, to buy property In the cities where they will locate. South Bend is one of the cities in which such a store will be located. Its agent is now on the ground negotiating for a site.

A Cracker Jack Cow. Frank Clino of Lakeville has a cow

that this cracker jack cow grows fat on

But we still have many Remnants left; have added new ones and marked them at very low prices. We also have added to them all our Odd Lace Curtains.

Examine Tour Water-Front. The explosion in Mr. Hill's kitchen impells him to give some advice to those who use water-front stoves. This is not the Grst explosion of the kind in Plymouth. Not many months ago the Windsor House had a similar accident Several others in Plymouth have had breaks in their stoves but as a rule not so violent as this one Thursday. The only solution proposed as an answer to wh7 it blew up, was that the pipes were frozen and did not allow the steam to escape. Mr. Hill has found the real cause to be, not that the pipes were frozen, but thai they were clogged. The water from our city waterworks is in reality a solution of lime, which latter mineral it deposits on metal in great quantities when submitted to the action of heat. Although the hydrants beside the stove may run freely, the pipes leading to the reservoir may be stopped, as they were in the present instance. Therefore it would be better for those who have water fronts in their stoves to examine

the pipes frequently rather than to lin

ger along and await an almost certain

explosion.

As Viewed at the Capital.

Thefarmeis of Indiana will hardly

feel any degree of pride in their repre

sentative in the Indiana legislature, the

member from Laporte, whose boorish

actions have male him the laughing

stock of not only the entire general as

sembly, but all visitors to the hruse of

rep68entative8 who have watched his

antics. His appearance in the house,

clad in overalls, and his wild and woolly harangues have quite naturally destroy ed his usefullne68 as a law-maker and

huroilitated the farming element of the state that he was presumed to represent.

The opposition to any measure by men of this class could scarcely weaken it among men of intelligence and good judgment. Indianapolis Independent.
