This unpieasan: trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and net to a habit as most people suppose.

Those better of Kansas barkeepers would have Mrs. Nation understand that she is not all of it. The Kansas contention between law-breaking saloonkeepers and glass-breaking amaons is rapidly degenerating into a petticoat war between head-breaking women. An Alabama woman has just been awarded $20,000 for the loss of her husband. With that amount of capital she should have little dithculty in procuring a substitute. The king of England will receive $2,650,000 a year. That is too much money for any crowned king, potentate or ollicer to receive ; but it is not as much as many men in this country make out of business enterprises. There is as much wrong in the one instance as in the other. The proposition to use granite or marble in the new federal building seems preposterous. It would cost several hundred thousand dollars more without any return whatever. Our Indiana stone is fully as durable and handsome. It has stood all tests and is used all over the country. To use marble or granite would be to discredit our own product; to say to the world that our stone is so inferior that the government would not use it in an Indiana building. It would be monstrous to strike such a blow at one of our leading industries, and no one could be interested in doing so except dealers in granite or marble. The incidental benefit tc our quarrymen and stone-cutters also is to be considered. The money will be spent in Indiana, but if other material be used, it will be cut in the quarries and brought here ready for use. If there be substance in this movement to change the material, the state should rise as one man and prevent it. Indianapolis Pres. INDIANA MAN M AUK SENATOR. Moses E. Clapp, elected by the republicans of Minnesota to succeed the late Cushman K. Davis, was born forty-nine years ago at Delphi, Ind. At the age of seven years, with his parents he went to Wisconsin, and removed to Minnesota in 1SS0. Gen. Clapp has been very successful in his political life, having three times been elected attorney general of the state and having been honored with other offices. BILL TO ABOLISH TOLL TAX. A "Poor Man's Law" to be Introduced iu Leg ilat ure. "A poor mto'i law" is the term applied to a bill prepared by Senator Barm. It proposes to do awaj entirely with poll tax, and also to exempt 9100 worth of personal property for aeb property holder from taxation. This, says the senator from St. Joseph, will mean little to large property owners, but it will mean a great relief to the poor man, on whom all taxes weigh km a burden. The senator holds, like-

6XT4.::.r.t:s

wipe, that poll tax is not always collected. The BYBtem providing for its assessment nnl collection encumbers the otlicial record- und makes too much extra work for the return of money. In cities the poll tax system is often used by one party as a "whip over the back" ol mem hers of the opposing party, and the original purpose of the law is detested, he says. -'It is a radical measure," says Senator Jturns, "but I believe it is right and just. It will benefit the poor man and I believe it ought to pftP8." MW I 111 KM. I I. ATIONV

I rani l.itflrtiMi In OtHH I a Hill for Committee. The senate and house committee on rights and privileges met to consider all the lish and gam bills. Several citizens appeared and gave their ideas. The matter of agreeing on a bill to contain the best points was left to a sub-committee. After agreeing on the points, the sub-committee put the matter of drawing the bill into the hands of Frank Littleton. The main points are: There snail be no poisonous substance .dumped into streams in sutlicient quantities to kill lish; no seines, gigs or nets shall be used, and no dynamite except for min ing and mechanical purposes, and then a license must be secured at a cost of trot lines shall not have over iifty hooks, and no one can enter land to set a trot line without consent of the owner; it shall be unlawful to sell or otter for sale any pike or bass in April and May; no person shall catch or possess more than twenty black bass in one day, and where two men are fishing from a boat they are limited to a total of thirty-six; it is made unlawful to shoot a lish at any time and no lish shall be taken when water is covered or partly covered with ice. All licenses for seines now in existence are revoked. It is thought that the only change in the game law will be a provision by which non-resident hunters must pay an annual license fee of $H to the county where hunting is to be done. Change in IHvorce I.hmh. In trie house session Jan. 2J, the roll call of counties for new bills developed that the members had not yet exhausted the supply of measures Among those introduced were two bills providing for changes in divorce laws of the Btate. One was by Mr. Mummert, who seeks to provide means by which an insane person may be divorced. It is clairael that under the present laws this is impossible in Indiana. The bill provides that where either husband or wife are decreed to be of unsound mind and a guardian is appointed, that the guardian may, by producing the documents showing that be was legally appointed guardian and that his ward is msane, procure a divorce for the demented one. Representative Trout, of Clay county, introduced a bill which is to require judges who grant divorces to place an injunction in the decree restraining either of the divorced parties from marrying within two years. Noii Hi Iteiid'ii Charter. The new charter for the city of South liend which will be .presented to the legislature for passage has been completed. The charter provides that the mayor's salary shall be from 2,000 to S3.0ÖD per annum, clerk 81,200 to $1,800, deputy clerk $soo, city attorney SI ,000 to SI, 500, comptroller S800. The charter provides tor the abolishment of the oflice of treasurer in TJ02, after which time the duties of that otliclal so far as relates to the collection of taxes and payment of money is concerned will be performed by the county auditor and county treasurer. The former will draw a salary of $300 per annum from the city and the latter a salary of 6"uo. Money will be paid out on warrants drawn by the comptroller and approved by the mayor. To Protect Mereliaut. Senator Thompson, of Indianapolis, will in a few days introduce a bill providing for taxing, licensing and regulating merchante, fixing license fees, regulating sales of goods and to prevent and punish fraudulent sales of merchandise, also giving cities and towns the power to license and tax merchants. Tbia hill is intended to put a check on the growing practice of men from other states coming into Indiana cities and opening temporary stores for the conduct of "bankrupt sales," "fire sales'' and the like. The bill has been prepared at the instance of regular merchants, who desire some protection against what they term "tly by night" business houses, which pay no license fee and are extremely ditlicult of being placed on the tax duplicates. Codifying the I'oor !,. The attorney general is engaged in codifying all the poor laws of Indiana. At present there are more than a dozen of them. There have been so many amendments from time to time that it is said to be impossible to make olliclals understand them in the same way. The codification will simplify the whole matter. It is the desire of the state board of charities that the codification preserve the intent of the present acts force. The codification will be introduced in the form of a bill in a Jfew days. Morphin I tint ad of Kopw. In the house of representatives Monday II. ii. Passage, representative from Miami county, moved that the method of executing criminals be changed from hanging to administering morphine. The motion was tabled. The proposed change came up in consideration of a bill fixing the Michigan City prison as the legal place for the execution of criminals. The bill has been passed by both branches and is now in the bands of the governor.

( OI NTV CIM'II.!. Kill to Tlieir Appointment Willi Circuit .fudge. A proposition to amend tne county reform law by providing that members of county councils shall be appointed by circuit judges stirred tne senate to speech-making Jan. 24. The majority committee report was against the bill. Senator Parke, a mejnber of the committee on county and township business, to which the bill was referred, made a minority report favoring the passage of his bill. The discussion that er";e cave tne new senator from Marshall county his first chance for speechmaking. He argued that county councils should be bi-paitisun, and that this could only come through appointment. Their creation by election, the senator argued, made theiu partisan boards and thereby took away the possibility of the councils being safeguards of the county's interests. Senator Lambert followed Senator I'arks on the other side of the question. He became thoroughly aroused, and

his voice rang through the senate chamber for ten minutes. Senator Lambert argued that the bill is a blow at representative government. Sen ator Keyes argued that a circuit judge would be at the beck and call of friends if the appointment of councils were left to him. Senator Ionian argued that the work of appointing councils was entirely without the province of the duties for which circuit judges are elected. He said the judges did not want the duty placed on them, as their time is takeu up with other matters. Senator Wood sided with the advo cates of the bill. He said the first appointees cf the circuit judges, under the provisions of the bill, gave univer sal ratisfaction. Senator Wood said it would be impossible to get the men best fitted for places on county coun cils to enter the pool of politics, for the reason that the emoluments of the office is merely nominal 510 for each member, lie argued that the circuit judge would appoint men whom be knew to be best fitted for the place. Senator Corr also spoke for the mi nority report, ile said the purpose was not so much to take the county councils out of the hands of the people as out of the hands of politicians. He said the vast majority of circuit judges are honorable men who could not be inlluenced in appointing other than honest, competent councils. Senator Winfield apoke for the bill. He said if the present law were continued corporations would push their men forward to run for membership on the councils Indianapolis Press. K : STA TIONF. IJY, Public Vrititer Oller Committee Lot of Mull' They Ca u not l.'e. Some of the representatives are astonished at the amount of stationery that is being allotted to the house com mittees to start otf the work of the session. They say that each committee is allowed enough to stock a small-sized stationery store. Kach of the fifty committee chairmen has been furnished by the public printer with a printed list of the amount of stationery his committee is supposed to require and beneath the printed list is a series of blank spaces which the chairman may fill in and swell the order. Representative Nash Rogers, of Decatur county, Jan. 21, returned his list with about one-third of the items crossed oil. He is chairman of the committee on printing and a practical printer. He says be can discover no use for so much stationery. Other committee chairmen say tbev have no use for so much stationery and the speaker is expected to look into the matter. Fe and Salary Hill Killed. In about ten minutes Thursday, Jan. 24, the fees and salaries committee of the house killed the fee and alary bill, which a commission of three prominent men had been two years in preparing. The bill hardly was discussed. The members of the committee had their minds made up, and when a vote was taken every mem ber voted to indefinitely postpone the bill. When the committee on fees and salaries sent up its report recommending the indefinite postponement of the general fee and salary Dill Mr. Owen, of I'arke county, was the only member that voted "nay," and the bill was killed. The Wheat Outlook. The indications are that the weather may fool around with snow long enough to give this region some much desired sledding. If an eight-inch and more snow should visit Northern-Indiana soon, and lie on the ground till the last week in March, the result could not but be beneficial to the agriculturist who has had a wheat failure for two successive seasons. A third one would prove even more disastrous, not only in the loss entailed, but in the discouragement of farmers and wheat-growers, generally. A good snow that would stay with us would prove vastly beneficial. Yltireniie I'nl vervlty Kill. The Vincennes University bill that has been before the legislature every session for many years will be introduced again in the senate by Senator I'urcell, of Knox and Sullivan counties. Senator I'urcell, who is now working on a draft of the bill, is of the opinion that the claimants are in a better position before the general assembly than ever before. The report of the senate committee, he says, is satisfactory to the friends of the university, who will regard it as a strong statement of their contention. " We did not," said Senator I'urcell, "expect the committee to assume the burden of making a recommendation to the legislature as to what

should be done, but their statement of facte in the case place us in a betler position than before.' It has been decide t that the report ot the sena'e invt Ptieatins; committee shall constitute a preamble for the bill, which will follow the lines of the other bills thftt have been introduced ToJ recover from the' state the amount claimed. The directors will ask that the state pay back to the university S120,ooo, which they say ie, in round numbers, the unpaid InUtice of the principal. If interest should be claimed. Senator I'urcell says, the amount would be over half a million dollars. The state has made twe settlements aggregating S 1,000. Senator I'urcell says that the settlement asked for Ij on the basis of the decision rendered by the supreme court f the 1'nited States m In":. 1 1.1: wan r:t 1 ivi:. llMiik unnot Ket over on Note ;i Nil Innocent I'll! linr. The supreme court January 22 decided a suit brought by James A. Shirk, cashier, and the other partners in the Citizens' bank of Delphi, Bgulnst Daniel V. Neible to i'ollard & Pollard, attorneys at Delphi, for services in defending his son on a charge of murder. In November, 1S9, a woman named Nipple, who had apparently been stealing corn, was found shot dead in Neible's-eorn field. Neible aDd his two sons were arrested. They employed I'ollard A: I'ollard to defend them. Neible inquired the amount of the lee and was informed that it would depend on the amount of work the attorneys did, but that it would bs reaei. nable. The attorneys worked diliceutly at the case, collecting evidence, and succeeded in preventing the grand jury indicting any of the Neibles. During this investigation the attorneys fixed their lee at ttf,0)0 and Neible gave the note in suit for the amount. The trial court found that the services of the l'ollard6 were actually worth :s"00, and that the balance of the note, because taken b the attorneys in excess of the trial, was a breach of confidence and uncollectible and the question therefore became whether the cashier of the bank was euch an inno

cent purchaser asjcould recover tne lull amount. The court held that, ae the murder and the employment and ser vices of the I'ollards were matters so well known that the cashier, as an or dinarily diligent business man, was bound to inquire and satisfy himself that the note was good and therefore the bank could onlv recover the SÖ00 which the services were actually worth moi;ai ok small townsKill iiiui( Tdwu i'lerks I'otter Inleiided to Improve 'I hem. The bill to give to town clerks judicial powers, that was introduced by Senator Kittinger and Representative Scott, was drawn up in the attorney-general's otlice, at the request of a state otlicer and the purpose of it is to reform the morals of certain towns in the state. Under the present laws small towns have no judical ollicer, euch ae a mayor. The ollicer is a justice of the peace, who often lives in the country some distance away, but more often, it is explained, is elected by the rabble of the town. When a case of misdemeanor comes up the defendant must either be taken to a county seat or the justice must be brought in from the couutry and, it is asserted, that it is very often true that the justice will not indict punishment ( n the offenders. The friends of the bill realized that it would be impossible to get a bill through that created a new oilice and so it was decided tn confer judicial powers on the town clerk and make it part of the duties of the board of trus tees to select a clerk who was fitted to serve as a justice of the peace. Legislative Note. Indianapolis, Jan. lit. Keprenentative Sparks introduced a bill in the houBe this morning to appropriate S1"0,0)0 to build monuments to Pleasant A. Hackleman and Henry W. Lawton on the state house grounds. The house committee on printing met at noon today and decided to amend Mr. Metsker's bill concerning county supplies, to provide that there shall be general competition for printing contracts when the printing supplies cannot be furnished by llrms within the county. The bill will leave the way open for county olticers to give local contracts to firms of their political faith. Indianapolis 1'ress. Kepresentitive .lack introduced a bill to appropriate 10,000 to construct a woman's building on the state fair grounds. . Kepresentative Seifert, of Salem, introduced a bill to appropriate .7."i,0O0 for a governor's residence. The house passed the bill exempting Spanish war veterans from working the roads. Senator I'arks submitted minority report on hie bill providing that judges appoint, the county council but the sen ate voted it down and adopted the majority report. The primary election law seems to be very much in favor, but there is strong opposition to voting machines. Reward for Conviction of K ll mi pperN.

Ki:i'I.li: TO liKOWN. A I V l'ointern 11 t lie Other Side of the OiiHil Ou-t ion. A reader of the Columbia City Post takes exception to Isaac Urown'8 statistics and produces iigures to prove that they aie destructive to certain crops. Hesaya: "I guess that we will have to take issue with Mr. Isaac Urown on the quail subject, lie made quite an estimate on the amount of ineects that 225,000 quaiU would eat in a month, but we would like to figure, with him on the amount of wheat tnat number of quail will eat. 1 killed a quail last fall that had 200 grains of wheat in its craw. This was about 1 o'clock in the morning and as all people who understand the nature of the quail know that they feed twice a day, eo a quail would eat 400 grains of wheat a day, and 225,000 quails would eat JO.000,000 grains of wheat a day. Now that there are 556290 grains in a bushel, we tind out that 225,000 quail will eat 161 bushels of wheat in a day and -1,730 bushels in a month, and if wheat is worth 70 cents a bushel we iind out that they eat $3,381 worth of wheat per month, so we 6ee that they are a little expensive after all. If anyone doubts that a quail's craw will hold 200 grains of wheat we have the wheat yet and can prove all of the above assertions."
