What the Commoner realy needs is an editor who will see that it isn’t so blani&Common. Recruits are coining in very fast for the new army. Evidently neither the tales of hardships' in the Philip pines nor the abolition of the army canteen has had a deterrent effect. ?< If 0 m Paul has succeeded in making the war so expensive as to force a change in the tariff policy of Great Briti/in he has done something quite as important as staggering humanity It is ag<fod deal ofa question wheth er the South ever really beiieyed n free silver. It followed that doctrine simply ' because the Populists who captured the parly machinery advocated it Most <>i t Im Hawaiian legislator.'', it . _Js said, cannot speak. English. That’s nothing! Many United States Con gressmen cannot speak English either. For proof of this, read their speeches in theUongressionai Record., Appointments to posts in the new army will be restrict'd almost altogether to the volunteer officers now in the service. Not only are these trained m m but they, are for tiie most part already o.i the grounds to say nothing of beifig, generally speak ing, deserving of reward. Paydays at military posts seem to be rapidly degenerating into Donny brook fairs, there having been an out burst of rowdyness and drunkenness unknown'in this country.for the past decide. But then, wfe can console ourselves with the reflection that the infamous ami degrading canteen has abolished. Senator Hanna says that President McKinley has no desire for athird term and that -any. assertions . that he has, are arrant 'nonsense. JjPhi’H is well. Mr. McKinley has been a good’and able President, but the rulty, that was enforced ' against General (Irani should not be relaxed for anyone.

Strangers at the inauguration were taken aback by the wav m which President McKtnjldy goes around the streets of Without protection. Judging from the imperial talk of the Democrats and from Cleveland’s example they expected to find him withat least a por ion of the t wenty two guards with which his predecessor surrounded himself.

Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, has abandoned the Democratic party and joined the Republicans, showing that negro disfranchisement is likely to work out in a way totally un'-xpected by its authors Now that this incubus of black domination has been removed,, the South can divide on political lines-and it shows a strong'teridency to do it, too.

(continued.) “Do you mean to tell me you’ve had a detea’ive here before me?” “Yes; this morning.” “From Chicago?” “Yes.” “How do you know?” “He said so. ” “Oh! He said so, did he, Mr. Dobson, and you believed him? Did you ask him for his authority?” “No.” “Then you are a fool! Wake up, man, wakeup! Rouse yourself! What was he like ? What did he do ? What did he say? Where is he?” shouted Darrent in short, snappy sentences like pistol shots. “How do I know where he is? He came this morning and said he’d just arrived by train from Chicago and had driven over. ’ ’ “What time was that?” “Ten. ” “Then how the deuce could he come from Chicago?” “I never thought of that.” “No, of course you didn’t, Mr. Dobson. Goon.” “He said he’d come to look into the murder, so I took him up to The Grange and told him all about it.” “Well, is that all?” “I showed him the knife.” “Which, of course, you let him take away. ’ ’ “No, I didn’t. He didn’t ask for it.” “Oh! That’s a relief anyhow. Then he didn’t take anything away? “Yes, he did. ” “What?” “Some chessmen. ” “Chessmen ?” “Yes; a set of carved Indian chessmen—horses and elephants and things. He said that he had an idea they had something to do with the murder.” “A set of carved chessmen —ivory, I suppose?” “Yes.” “Anything else? “Nothing.” “You’re sure he took nothing else?” “Certain.” “Very well, Mr. Dobson. I shall report your idiocy to your mayor,” Darrent remarks as he finishes writing in his pocketbook and rises from his seat. “What the deuce,” he mutters to himself, “did he take a set of chessmen for and leave the knife, and who the dickens is he?” “Do you want to know anything else?” Dobson sulkily asks as he relights his pipe, which he has let go out during the cross examination. “Yes; give me the name and particulars about every one related to or friendly with the dead man. Any spns?” “No; at least I don’t know. Perhaps he is his son. You never know. Old Marsden always said he adopted him. I don’t believe it.”

Getting Thin is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. There are many causes of getting too thin; they all come under these two heads: overwork and under-digestion. Stop over-work, if you can; but, whether you can or not, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can’t live on it—true—but, by it, you can. There’s a limit, however; you’ll pay for it Scott s Emulsion of Cod Liver )il is the readiest cure for can t eat,” unless it comes of your doing no work--you can’t long be well and strong, without some sort of activity.

A Detective Story Of a Chicago Suburb. The Murder at The Grange and How Its Mystery Wsc Solved by Darrent the Amer* lean Lecoq.

BY NORMAN HURST.

“Never mind what you believe, Mr. ■ Dobson. I’m asking for facts. Well, I who is it?” t “Astray Marsden. ” “Astray—curious name.” | “Yes; old Marsden said he was a . stray when he found him, and he stuck to the name. It was his joke.” “I see. Where is this Astray?” “Quarreled with old Marsden a couple of years ago and went abroad. ” “Oh! Never been seen in Norcombe since, eh?” Dobson hesitates under the keen eyes of the detective, who, it seems to him, is reading his inmost thoughts. It will be no good trying to keep anything from Herbert Darrent, so he suddenly blurts out, “Came back on the night of the murder. ’ ’ “I see,” says Darrent, again writing in his pocketbook. “What tame?” “I saw him about half past 10.” “Did he seem strange in his manner at all?” “Not particularly; only a hit excited.” “Did he mention old Marsden?” “No.” “Where did you meet him ?” “At the corner of the road that branches off to The Grange.” “How was he dressed?” “Long overcoat and soft hat.” “Was it snowing then?” “No; didn’t commence-till 11.” “Right. Thank you, Mr. Dobson. Now, do you know any one else connected w y ith old Marsden either here or at Barnstaple?” “Only one or two distant relatives and acquaintances. ’ ’ “Very well. You can employ the rest of your evening by making me a complete list of them, and say all you know about them. Have it ready by the first

"That’s the murderer,” he remarks as the detective takes the sheet.

thing in the morning, please. That’s all. I shall have a good deal more to ask you tomorrow. Good night. ’ ’ “Good night. Oh—er—l say, Mr.— er”— “Darr ent.” “Er—Mr. Darrent. Don’t you think that the sheriff may find it worth while to offer a reward pretty soon?” It is the second time that Dobson has mentioned the chance of a reward being offered, and Darrent pauses for a moment, then suddenly confronts him. “Now, look here, Dobson,” he says gently, “you’re simply playing the fool, and you’ve given the whole game away. Twice you’ve asked after a reward. That means j know something more than you have t- >ld me and expect to be paid for your knowledge. Well, you’re wrong. You won’t be. You ought to know even if a reward is offered it is not paid to those in the service, whose duty is to do their duty. Come, now, Dobson. Own up all you know and not half of it.” “I know nothing except what I‘ve told you.” “Very well, then, Mr. Dobson, you’ll never get any promotion from your mayor or any reward, which your soul so hankers after. ’ ’ “Then you will never know.” “Ha, ha! I’ve got you! So you do know who committed the murder! Very well, Mr. Dobson,- very well. You are what the law calls an accessory after the fact. It’s a very unenviable position, Mr. Dobson. Goodnight!” “Half a minute.” “Good night. I think an accessory after the facts gets about ten years.” “Stop!” “Well?” “I’ll tell you all I know.” “That’s better. I would rather reward than punish. Now show your sense by telling me everything you know, every iota, and your mayor may probably look over ycur indiscretion and remember you when the proper time comes. ” Without answering, Dobson goes over to a desk, unlocks it and, taking out a stained and crumpled sheet of paper, hands it to Darrent. “That’s the murderer,” he remarks as the detective takes the sheet. Darrent carefully examines the paper —a sheet of note paper stained with one or two nasty smears—and then, in almost illegible writing:

And there it ceased, as the pen had evidently fallen from the dying fingers and had rolled across the sheet, leaving blots in its track. “Where was this?” “Crumpled up in Marsden’s hand.” “Murdered by Astra”— “By Astray, don’t you see? He had not strength to finish it. The ‘y’ is missing. ’ ’ “Hum! So Astray Marsden is the murderer, and you intended to hold this for the reward or else blackmail Astray Marsden, eh?” “I put it by and forgot it.” “That’s a lie, Dobson,” he answers as he carefully folds the paper and places is in his pocketbook. “You could not have forgotten it in a couple of days. Have you shown it to any one?” Dobson shifts uneasily and tries to avoid the fixed gaze of the detective. “Well, answer up.” ‘ ‘Only to young Marsden—to Astray. ’ ’ “When and "where?” “The day after the murder, at the Palace hotel, where he had put up. ” “Well, what did he do?” “Said he’d come round and see me later. ’ ’ “Well, did he?” “No; he skipped.” “I see. Well, Mr. Dobson, whether he committed the murder or not, I should advise you to be very careful, my friend. You may find that you’ve got yourself into serious trouble. Tomorrow morning I go over The Grange. I shan’t want you. Send your patrolman to meet me there at 9. Don’t forget. Good night. ’ ’ Darrent turns on his heel and leaves Mr. Dobson to his own reflections, which, to judge from that gentleman’s expression of countenance as he moodily pulls at his pipe as he sits before the fire, aro not of a very enviable description. In the short walk frem the police station to the Palace hotel Herbert Darrent marshals his facts. The old man, .reputed a miser, murdered, the footprints in the snow leading one way only; the return of Astray Marsden on the fatal night; the mysterious visitor of the morning, claiming to be a detective, who had taken merely a set of ivory chessmen, when one would have assumed that the weapon with which the deed was done w’ould have been the first consideration. That factor in itself was a problem. Then there was the writing of the dead man that seemed to reveal the name of the murderer at once and to make all clear. That paper accused the man who two years ago quarreled with old Marsden, the man who only returned to Norcombe on the night of the murder and had since fled—Astray Marsden. Herbert Darrent felt that indeed all his art would be needed in this investigation, for he knew better than any one that the cases that seemed to be over before they had really commenced very often proved to be almost unsolvable mysteries.

dot a Quick Method

THE HOME SCHOOL does does not claim to be able to linpart.knowledge to every one alike, whether or not students study and apply themselves diligently. No unreasonable promises are made. No one may acqur. an education without long hours of patient study and application. The instructors do not undertake to teach by means of stereotyped sets of 1 ssons sent alike to all students. No are sent to any student until the teacher in charge of the department in which the student is enrolled has learned from the student, by means of written examinations, what the student’s previous educational advantages have been, and what is the fitness of the applicant for the course in which he or she matriculates. Believing THE PRESS to be one of the very best edited American newspapers, and recognizing the necessity of the assistance of such a newspaper in its scheme of popular education, bpth as an educational factor in itself and for the facilities offered by such a connection for really thorough instruction at very small cost to the student, the Home School desired to affiliate itself with THE INDIANAPOLIS PRESS. Any one who takes any of the courses offered by the Home School becomes, without further cost, a subscriber to THE PRESS for one year from the time of his enrollment.
