The State Superintendent has issued an attractive program for a suitable celebration of the seventy-second anni.versary of Indiana’s admission to the Union, which will be observed throughout the State December 11. Though there is nothing compulsory connected with it, every teacher in the State is urged to give special attention to the anniversary. The program is issued as an aid and suggestion, and will be sent to every school. The annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency shows that Indiana, on Oct. 4, bad ninety-fouv national banks, with loans and discounts amounting to 827,709,014; capital stock paid in, sll,964.50»; and aggregate resources, #49,100,892.. The individual deposits aggregated $24,503,013. There are thirty-nine private banks in the State, with a capital of $2,264,699; deposits, $4,893,064; and a surplus of $354,895. Will Schreiber, teller of the First National Bank, of Columbus, Ind., absconded to Canada with $8,500 of the bank’s money. He also took with him several valuable notes, and as soon as he arrived in Canada telegraphed the bank officials where he could be found, presumably that they might propose terms promise. His accounts are supposed to be very crooked, and the bank may loose much more than the amount named. Schreiber had lived far beyond his means. Mrß. Sage was sentenced to the reformatory at Indianapolis some time since for the murder of her 3-year-old child, because it stood in the way of her marriage to Sage. The woman went to prison for life and her husband was exonerated. Recently he applied for and secured a divorce on the grounds of her conviction; This so offended the woman that she has made a full confession of the crime, inculpating her husband equally with herself. He has been indicted. They hail from Marion. The Mrs. Turner, who came to Elkhart recently from Glasgow, Scotland, and claimed John Turner, an old and Well-known resident, to be her husband, he having deserted her before he came to this country, has begun criminal action against his Elkhart wife, on the charge of adultery, and the latter, frightened out of her wits, has fled East, pursued by the county sheriff. When t he* Glasgow wc man appeared, Turner abandoned his second wife and property at Elkhart and fled to Canada. Major Funk, of Corrydon, Harrison county, who has cdled upon Governor Gray to inform him that the late Grand Jury has found indictments against eight or ten of the alleged White Caps, is very confident that some of the leaders of the lawless gangs are to be brought to punishment He states that public sentiment down there has changed greatly since so much publicity has been given to the instances of outlawry, and that there now seems a general disposition to aid the prosecutions by supplying any evidence that can be found. The annual report of the officers of the Michigan City Prison shows that during the last vear 364 convicts were received and 266 discharged from the

penitentiary, leaving a net increase of 68. On the first of the present month the number of prisoners was 7u2. Teh of the discharged prisoners were pardoned. The receipts and earnings of the institution were $105,718,76. The cost of maintaiilance was $99,417.34. There is a cash balance on hand of *9,042.64. The cost of feeding each convict is 12 J cents a dav; clothing each $5,871 and fuel $7,17 2-5. ‘ According to the official election returns, State pride was. not very strong in Indiana. General Hartison’s p4u«Uity was 2,348, and General Hovey’s was 2,191, showing that the Presidential canflidate ran ahead of the candidate for Governor only 157, while he fell behind two of the men on the State ticket —Mr. La Follette, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Mr. Griffiths, the newly elected Reporter of the Supreme Court. In Marion .county General Harrison received 118 votes more than Geheral Hovey, so that outside of that county there were only thirty-nine more votes for the Electoral ticket than for the Governor. Elias Jackson, a fanner living near Wabash, shot and killed Curtis Jellison, another farmer, on the 28th. Jackson was inspired by a belief that Jellison had alienated the affections of his wife. Jellison, victim of Jackson’s jealousy and rage, is dead. He was without onedical aid from the time of the tragedy. The physicians probed for the bullet, which was finally found on the opposite side, having passed clear through Jellison’s body, tearing the intestines and causing internal hemorrhage. When told of Jellison’s death the murderer expressed no regret and appeared to believe that he had done the right ihing. The opinion is gaining ground that Jackson is weak, mentally. The revolver used was secured by The Coroner Friday. It is a thirty-two caliber. But one load is missing. The Coroner’s verdict will be that Jellison came to his death by a pistol shot fired by Elias Jackson. The Indiana State Statistician, speaking of the Indiana gas belt, says: “There are now seventy nine large manufacturing concerns established recently, having an aggregate capital of $4,462,500, and which employ 5,734 hands, and this aew capital-is now continuing to be invested at the rate of $3 0,000 per month. We have probably as much money in vested in this Stare now, on account ofnatural gas, as they have in Ohio. The industries are varied, too. For instance, 'to take an entirely new industry in this immediate section, we have fourteen glass factories, started with a capital of $1,033,500. The one at Hamilton made its first glass, Friday. Again, we have .'eight paper-mills with $904,000 invested and employing ?54 hands. There are now in the State 300 gas wells in active work. Hamilton county has the great est number, leading off with seventy wells. Madison coqntv has twenty-nine wells. Henry county twenty-three wells, and Marion county nearly forty. There are twenty-five or thirty in Jay county, and twenty-three right at Greensburg alone. There ar-* al o wells at Lawrenceburg on the Ohio river, which we seldom think of as being in the natural gas field.”
