Our Great Consolidation Sale

It is not generally understood by the people of Indiana, perhaps, that there i« no law providing for a place in which to execute criminals in this state. It was undoubtedly not the intention of the legislature of 1.897 to abolish the law fixing puilishrnent by death in thisstute, but, according to a well known lawyer, that is just what the legislature of 1897 did do in a round-about way when it passed the law creating the Indiana reformatory. Before the law was passed the statutes provided that criminals under the sentence of death should bo executed either in the state prison south at Jeffersonville, or the state prison north at Michigan City, depending on the location of the country where the prisoner was sentenced.

ARREST OF BRADGENGERS.

Monday morning of this week in ’Squire Stilwell's court in Crawfordsville, Mrs. Alwilda J. Thompson made affidavit that Christopher and Augustus Bradgenger, did on 27th day of November, attack her husband, Frank D. Thompson, and attempt to kill him. She states that one of the boys used a gun for a club and as a result of the attack her husband had his arm broken in two places, his head fearfully mashed and that he was unable to appear and swear out the affidavit himself. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Thompson had been married only a few days before the Bradgengor boys attacked Thompson and that the attack was inspired because Thompson had at one time appeared as a prosecuting witness against one of his assailants, and that as a result of his action Bradgengor was convicted and served two years in the state prison. All parties live in the vicinity of Kirkpatrick, and where the fight occurred a week ago. Two constables were sent there armed with the necessary warrants to apprehend the Bradgengers. It is said that Thompson is in a very bad shape and that the fight was a terrible one while it lasted.

Burying parties in Galveston, Texas, are still engaged in searching for bodies of storm victims, and giving them interment. In most cases they find the pockets of the victims have been turned inside out, and that every article which could be used in identification or which might be of value has been taken away. A company engaged in giving interment to such as have been missed earlier, recently found forty-five bodies in a neglected spot on the island.

THE SLOT MACHINES.

Belgian Hares

Crawfordsville Journal: The police board met Wednesday in special session at the mayor's office and the slot machine question was brought up. As is generally known these gambling devices have been openly operated here for some time and there are over one hundred in use right here in Crawfordsville. Some of the business men who maintain them state that they are bitterly opposed to the machines but were forced to put them in by the fact that their business rivals had them going. About a month ago machines were put in by a number of saloons where money was directly played for instead of checks good for cigars or drinks. These money machines presented tremendous odds in favor of the house but they nevertheless proved most attractive for suckers and were kept busy. In many places small boys were permitted to play and vigorous protests began to be made to the city authorities. The abuse had become flagrant and it was the opinion of every member of the police board that a halt should be called. The police were accordingly instructed to close slot machine in town at once and to see that they were kept closed. By noon practically every machine in town had been retired from service.

What happens there to-day we know to-morrow—if we read THE CHICAGO RECORD, whose Special Cable Correspondents are located in every important city in the world outside of the United States. No other American newspaper ever attempted so extensive a service; and it is supplemented by the regular foreign news service of The Associated Press. For accurate intelligence of the stirring events which are shaking the nations—of wars and rumors of wars—of the threatening dissolution of old governments and the establishment of new—of the onward sweep of the race in all parts of the world—the one medium of the most satisfactory information is the enterprising, “up-to-date” American newspaper, THE CHICAGO RECORD.

It was thought that the system of Advisory Boards would tend to largely decrease the chances of defalcations in the office of township trustee, but from reports from all parts of the state the plan does not seem to have worked perfectly. If the wrong kind of a man gets the office he will find some way to beat the township and feather his own nest at public expense. It is well known that in some country townships, with small population and no towns of any size, frequently as mnch as $125 per month is made out of the office. The Ohio plan of having three men manage township affairs, or that of Illinois with the same number seems to have less objection attached to it than the loose Indiana system. The practice, too, of selling schools appears to have been followed in many counties of Indiana.

Last Tuesday morning when Ira Stout went to his place of business he found that about 200 matches, which were in an open cigar box just under the counter had by some means been ignited and had burned a hole through the box, and then ceased to burn.
