Mr. Van Or in an has been a vain able man to Ui -nniona. zoning cere as the pioneer in the tuiness of running an el iboratd hotel in a city wnoe pize made it questionable as to the profitableness of the venture, he gave to the city the name of having the finest hotel in Indiana, a prestige tbat will cling to it. That he has made a success of the business here cannot be disputed. The fact that Richmond can and ill support a hostelry t on an eiaDoraie scaie and that the conduct of such a house can do the city a world of good in the way of advertising throughout the length and bredth of the land, has been demonstrated by Mr. V anOrman, and Richmond is indebted to him for the knowledge, and for the effort put forth by him to make this city second to none in its hotel advantages.

THE GAS CASE

IK iV Kl'NMNG ALONG IN COI RT. The InJijnuolis Jud;e is Here, and He is Listening to the Presentations of the Attorney s One Motion Over ruled, and the Other Under Discus sion. Judge Robinson, of the app-ilate court, arrived in the ciy jresteroay afternoon, and went at once to the court house. ThU morning the cafe was taken up The first motion was to remedy the alleged defwet in the com plaint cf the man David White and others against the Natu-1 Gas com pany by compelling tkt afiiants to in ert the names of the other 5.C0O elti zens who are said to be implicated with Mr. White in tha matter of the exorbitant charges for fuel. This n o tion was overruled, and then the at torney for the dtfenso filed a motion to qctun the alternative writ or man damus on the ground that the complaint on which it was issued was not suffi iectly t-ipl cit, and t.at the facts as set forth therein were rot s ifficient to warrant the issaanca of such writ. On this an aigument was begun by Mr. S.uly. The at orneys for the defense did not argue on that morion. The defense in the motion to quash the writ, set forth twenty-one reasons why the writ should be qua hod. ' All these wt re purely technical, and the principal one was the insufficiency : of the facts set forth. Mr Stud elainasd, m a two hours' argument, that the mere fact that David F. White demanded gas and that the gas be eivea at a reasonable rate was sufficient grounds for the issuance of the writ. No matter which way the gas ease ia decided in the court in this eity, it will be carried to the higher courts. This is a settled fact. After Mr. Study had finished at a late hour, Mr. Lindemuth began his argument on the same side of the atse. A BAD DEFEAT. The Henleys Are Badly Worsted Muncie Last Night by the Rovals. at The crippled Henley s m t with th i expected defeat at Muncie last night . .. . - in thoir game with the Kyals, tbe score being 10 to 1. Ouly two members of the original Henley team, Jessup aid Williams, played Byers, Sell and Border being unable to leave on account of their work The other players have never played with the Henleys, and little else bat defeat could be expected. It was Mr. Henley's intention to take the team to Muncia Saturday night, when all the players could leave their work, but the management of the Muncie team would have no night ex cept Thursday, so ia order to rill the contract a picked team was sent np, which accounts for the one-sided score. wtrnWesmpr Will Patterson, Oscar Williams, Clyde Alexander and Jeff Van Allen, with Ado Mansfield as substitute. Will Bell also accompanied the team as manager. The Indianapolis Journal has the following paragraph concerning the game: Tho M oncie polo team tonight detested the Henlays of Richmond by a score of 10 to 1. The game was exciting regardless of the score, as the visitors f mght desperately to the finish. Van Allen's goil work for Richmond was remarkable. Johnson, for Muncie. was the star, making seven safe drives for the goal. Muncie has won five games out of six, four of them from Richmond. An immense crowd witnessed the game. 3 At the school presided over by Miss F.l'ie Marshall, on 'the Middleboro pike, northeast of the city, an entertainment was given last evening in a somewhat impromptu manner by Richmond talent. Qaite a number went from this city, aud all had an enjoy ble time. The entertainment featcpei were ! urnished by Mr. Rnk, Hun Eiizibeth Williams, Miss Ella Winchester, Mr. Fed Menke and 8. W, Giiltlan. After the program of mnsie and readings had been completed, the Motion of baskets and boxes began. Bert Henley was the auctioneer, and was a success in that capacity of eonrse. The baskets sold-at good prices, aggregating $11 for the benefit of the school library. Qjite a number of Richmond people were there, including Professor Wineburg and Trustee Bishop. There was a large attendance at the entertainm x. Miss Marshall has quite an interesung school. The discussions at the Fiiday Even ing Reading Circle have become quite an important part of the program. Un last Friday evening liquified air was fully and instructively diseussed and at the meeting this evening after a review of the court bip of Miles Standish". the proposal of the Cztr of Russia for disarmament will be considered. The circle will meet with the Misses Evans on west fourth street. Mrs. Ronth delightfully entertained the ladies of the Mary F. Thomas W. C. T. U at an afternoon tea ye terday at her home on ' Randolj. h s'reet. The entertainment at the South Eight Street Friends ehurch on Wednesday evening, an aceount of which was crowded out of yesterday's paper, was one of the best treats the Rich mond public has bad in the music a line for many a day.

THE lX-CONURKSSnAN I HETl'RNS LAST He Will Rctnaia Here a Short Time aud Will Then Go to St. Louis to Take L'p the Work of His Profession, U Which He Will Devote Himself Exclusively in the Future. The Hon. Henry U. Johnson, exrpre entatire from the sixth congreasional district, is ia the city. He returned huae last biht, and will remain in this city tor some time, btlore i. . . 1 , 1 m ; going wesi w imo uy me yioitssiou west to take of law once more. Mr Johnson is looking splendidly, bot says he is not at all well, as he has had a recurrence of his grip, which always takes deep and stubborn hold on his conatitat oa. He was seen and interviewed brit fly this morning by a Palladium reporter, to whom he stated that he intended to remain in this city some weeks, straightening uo bis at- i fair?, before fc'oiog to St. Louis. He said : "I will remain he re for the present, Tettling np my business affairs b fore -going to Ht. Louis.

The ; co la of Missouri ia very similar to that ' ot Indiana, and as I have already been looking it over, it it will not take me long to familiariza myaelf with it sufhciently to enable me practice there. The o tase up the codes of New York and Pennsylvania are simply ap-j palling.

It is shameful that a man under indictment for a serious crime should haye any considerable following in a race for a position as United States senator. Pennsylvania is the most ring-ridden state in the union." He spoke complimentary of Dalzell's fitness for the position, but predicted that he would hardly win, as the forces that are with Qaa? would not i masse for the man from Pittsbu g, -1 Mr. Johnson was down town early i thia morniag, greeting his friends, all of whom were glad to see him looking BO wall, and ready to - ish him the sneees that is anticipated for him in the practice of law in his new field.

An incident Illustrating CoL Roosevelt's devotion to the men of bis regiment w as told by Trooper Burkholder of the rough riders, who, before returning to his home in Phoenix, Ariz., spent a few days at the home of bis friend. John rainier, on Throop avenue near Middleton street, Williamsburg. Burkholder was all through the active campaign with the rough riders and returned with them to Camp Wikoff. Ie was away on furlough on account of a slight attack of swamp fever when the rough, riders were mustered out, and thus missed, as he puts it-" an opportunity to say good-by to the most gallant commander and the truest man tuat a soklier was ever privileged to fight under. "Only us few men who were with aim, saia Burkholder. "know how considerate be was of us at all times. There was one cae in particular that uiusmira mis oetter than any I can ret-aii. it happened after tbe fight ai -a wuasimas. The men were tired with the hard march and the fighting, and hunger was gnawimr at every stomach. Besides, we bad our first men killed there, and. taking it all In all. we were in an ugly humor. The nsual shouting, cracking of jokes, and snatches of song were missing, and everybody appeared to be in the dumps. 1 suppose we were all thlnktalr of poor Ham Fish aad the rest of

rut- pr"j ix-uvws wno naa Been Croph1 in tlif short scrap. -Well, things hadn't improved a bit. in fact, were getting worse along toward meal time, when the Colonel began to move about anion the men. -it-iikiiig encouragingly to each group. I gwss he uw souiethlu was op. and no doubt he made np his mind then and there to improve at least tht humor of the men. There" an okl fajrintr that a man can best be reached through bis stomach, and I guess he believed in that maxim. Shortly afterward we saw the Colonel, his cook and two of the troKra of Company I strike out along the narrow road to-

ward the town, aad we wondered what was up. It was probably an hour or so after this, and during a little resting s-!l iu our work of clearing ground and making things a little cauiplike. tbat the savory and almost forgotten odor of beef stew began to sweep through tbe clearing. lien who were working stoiid short aud began to sniff, and those who bad stopped work for a breathiisg spell forgot to breathe for a second. Soon they joiued in the suiting, and I'll wager every one of s was sniffing as hard as be knew bow. Oh. Iut didn't that smell One! We weren't sure that it was for us, but we had a smell of I: anyway, quickly drooping spirits revived, and as the fumes of the ttoiliu Blew became stronger the humor of the men improved. We all Jump-J to our work with a will, and picks, shovels and axes were plied in race horse fashion, while the men would stop now and then to raise their heads and draw a long breath and culaiiu: 'Wow! but that smells good.' 'We were finally summoned to feed, aud then you can imagine our surprise. There was a bis boiler and bt-side it a crowd of mess tent men dishing out real beef stew! We could hardly lelieve our eyes, and I had to taste mine first to make sure it wasu . drejreu. You should have seen the expression on the faces of the men as they gulped down that stew, and we all laughed when one New York man yelled: " A nd it's got real onions in It tooT "After we bad loaded up we began to wonder where it all came from and then the two Troop 1 men told bow the Colonel had purchased the potatoes and ouious while his own cook secured the meat from Sibouey. "You probably won't believe it. but the bushel of potatoes cost Col Koosevelt almost and he had to pay thirty-odd good morkau dollars to get the onions, but then he knew what his men wanted and it was always his men first with him. There was a rush to his tent when we learned this, aud if you ever beard the cheering ini sure you wouldn't wonder why the rough riders all love their Colonel. "I see," said Burkbolder. tbat In his address to the men at Camp Wikoff the Colonel told how he bad to hurry at the San Juan Hill fight to save himself from being run over by the men. That's Just like him to say that; but he probably forgets tbat more than half of the men never ran so fast before aud never will again as they had 10 ruu to keep up with him. If Col. Roosevelt lived in Arizona we would give him any office he wanted without any electiou nonsense." A olrworlkr Comparison. Total exports of dairy products in '97 were 82,290,000 lbs. against 84,885,000 24 years earlier. But in 73 exports were nearly all cheese, 80,366,000 lbs, while last year these amounted to scant 61 ,0(000 Jbs. , Butter exportsjaean. while were only 4,500,000 lbs In '73 against 31.345,000 lbs in '97. The year 81 showed the heaviest export business In dairy products; from that date to '9G the business fell off materially, but it is now apparently on th up grade. Kmtllasr anil Milk Yield. It is reported that upon a 3,000-acre farm in New Jersey, where ensilage Is largely used as a winter feed for the dairy herd, tbey grew 2,000 tons last year at a c-OFt. wnen harvested and put In the silo, of 83 cents a ton. The yield on some parts of it was 33 tons to the 'c:e, actual weignt, not guess work, he milk yield per cow was an averse of 6,250 pounds.
