Two Mm Killed and Mill Reduced to Atoms. Columbia City, April 10, 11:30 a. m. Tuttill's mill of this city was blown to pieces by an explosion at 11 o'clock this forenoon. The engineer and teamster were killed instantly. Mr. Tuttill, the proprietor, had gone across the street on an errand and during his brief abscence the explosion occurred. Over two thousand people are at the scene of the explosion at this hour and rumor has it that more than a dozen people were killed. This rumor is not authentic, however. The engineer and teamster are dead but dodo other than they were injured. The cause of the explosion is un known. Where They Will Preach.

The treasuier's report showed the fol lowing condition of the treasury: Library fund S412 05 School building 17G 28 Waterworks 1.CC5 50 General fund, overdrawn 629 58 The following inspectors and judges it the May election were appointed: Inspector, First ward, II.H.Bonham judge, J.

The friends of Monroe Steiner have been trying to talk him up for the repub lican nomination for sheriff. Mr. Steiner authorizes us to state that under no circumstances will he consider such a nomination. He has a business that requires all his time and cannot think of slaughtering it for the sake of an oflice which does not yield a salary equal to his business. Moreover, the uncertainty of election is double argu ment for his refusal of such nomioa tion. Mr. Steiner authorizes the Inde pendent to make it good and strong that he will not in any event drop his business for a political oflice, even if the chances for election were the very best.

Fifth I. aw Violator (J tow Verv Hold in Marshall County. Complaint comes that the Lake of the Woods in Marshall county, near apaz, fairly swarms with fish netg, which can now be used only by dis obeying the law. So bold and brazen have these law violators become that they reseat any hook and line fishing. The other day Marshall Logan, of that locality, was out on the lake fishng and got too near the nets of some of these poachers to suit, and as a result was fired at and driven away by some armed violator of the law. Marshall county evidently needs a vi9it rom the fish commissioner. South Jend Times. ELWOOD GETS IT. North Indiana Conference Will Cio There in 1901.

AN KUITOK Ol'AKAMINEI).

A Former Hourbou I.adv Teacher IIa Smallpox. A dispatch from Anderson says that he Clio club, composed of thirty of the well-known literary women of the city, has gone into quarantine undir orders of the city health department. About wo weeks atjo the club had a meeting at the home of Mrs. Wallace B. Camp bell, the wife of Editor ('ampbell, of the Herald. On that day Mrs. Campbell was not feeling well, but 6he took part n the program. Within a few days her illness was diagnosed as a very mild case of smallpox, and the Campbell home was quarantined. The health department then required all the mem bers of the Clio club to be vaccinated, and thev were allowed gome libertv un til Tuefday, when they retired into seclusion for a week. Some of thetu continue to follow the club idea by going to the home of a member to remain until the quarantine is lifted. There is doubt about Mrs. Campbell's iilness being really smallpox, and all of the club women say they do not fear any ill re sults from their meeting at her home. Mr. Campbell is perhaps the only editor in quarantine at this time in Indiana. He is forbidden communication with his newspaper save by telephone. The health department declared that if he had any manuscript for his oflice, it must be fumigated before going to the printers. Mr Campbell concluded that fumigated editorials would not be the thing, so he is dictating editorials over the phone to a stenographer, who translates her work for the printers. Some amusing incidents arise from the enforced inconvenience for the editor. For instance he dictated a story for the news columns saying that Miss Helen Servos3 and Miss Martha Tucker, wellknown school teachers who board at the Campbell home, had been permitted liberty about the lawn of the home while in quarantine. The editor also said, incidentally, that he had sent up town for some paint, and would paint the fence in the back yard. By the time the story got into print it read that Misses servoss and Tucker had been permitted to work in the back yard, and would paint the back fence. Mr. Campbell is president of the Indiana Republican Editorial association. Mrs. Campbell is well known in educa tional circles throughout the state, be ing recognized as one of the foremost instructors in primary school work For three years she was superintendent of primary instruction in the public schools of that city. Mrs. Campbell was formerly Miss Tarney and taught in the schools at Bourbon several yearn ago. THE C Hi A KETTE EVIL. United Stale; Supreme Court Says (Mtie May Kegulate the Sxle of Thi ICoy Killer. Some time ago the city of Chicago passed an ordinance to regulate the sale of cigarettes. The supreme court of Illinois held the ordinance to be valid, but the manufacturers of the deadly cigarette took the case to the U. S. supreme court and were beaten there. The decision is based upon the power of a city to preeerve the public health. and it was upon this ground that the city of Chicago rested its case in all courts from the beginning of the legal controversy with the Tobacco DeBiers association. It is regarded as a decided victory and places a club in the hands of the municipal governments of the United States that will be effective if used to break up the cigarette evil among minors. Under the ordinance which the supreme court has held constitutional it is unlawful for any dealer to sell cigarettes to any person under twenty-one years of age. The penalty for the violation of thisprovision is the revocation of the license. This power rests with the mayor, who upon a show ing which to him appears sullicient, can order the license cancelled. As a pen alty for selling cigarettes without a license the ordinance provides fine of not less than $25 and not to exceed $200 for the first offense, and a continuance of selling without a li cense provides for a fine of $25 a day There is another provision in the ordi nance which is regarded by the health officials of the city, as well as by mem bers of the board of education, as a valuable one for the protection of children. It is the provision that no dealer shall be granted a license to eel cigarettes within a distance of 200 feet of any school building within the city of Chicago. A violation of this pro vision and the selling of cigarettes within that limit would be punishable the same as the selling of cigarettes without a license. rii3i"in Meet. The Marshall County Physicians' As sociatiou held its twenty-second annual meeting in the city hall yesterday It was very well attended, a num ber of physicians from outside the county being present. At the morning session an election of officers was held, A. G. Holtzendorff being chosen president, Jacob Kaszer, vice-president and N. B. Aepinall, sec retary. The board of censors will oon eist of T. A. Borton, O. A. Rae and C. F. Holtzendorff. The program that has been arranged ii to members of the

profession an enticing one. Drs. McCaskey and Van Severingen, of Fort Wayne are down for addresses and they will no doubt prove interesting lectures. They banqueted at Hill's restaurant at ix o'clock after which the evening's session was almost entirely in the hands of South Bend doctors. Dr. JJorton exhibited to the members an antique mortar which he has had in his possessian for about twenty-two years. It is the mcrtar brought to this country from France by Dr. De Bruns who was surgeon of Lafayette's first expedition. It is chizeled from a solid block of marble and shows marked signs of its great age.

KOOM FOIl ItEET CI LTI KE. Five Thousand Acren to Ite Cultivated Tili Year. Fully five thousand acres of sugar beets will be planted in Indiana north o c the Wabash river this spring. The ultivation of the sugar beet began in th is region only five vears ago, has in creased steadily ever cince, but the acreage this year takes a bound because f the inability of the beet sugar works at Benton Harbor, erected at a cost of alt a million dollars, last year to ob tain a sullicient supply in the vicinity f thai place to i un half time. In con equence the management has offered xtraordinary inducements to Indiana beet growers to plant the crop and ehip the product in. Ve?.t Town.liip Republican Nomination.
