HEW GRAND STAND NEARLY FINISHED
Earlham Gets Ready for the Big Track Meet to Be Held Here in May. THE ATHLETIC OUTLOOK LOSS OF CAREY KEENLY FELT, BUT PROSPECTS FOR TRACK TEAM FAIRLY GOOD INDIANAPOLIS Y. M. C. A. MEET. The work on the new grand stand on Reid Field that is being erected in place of the one that blew down last fall. Is progressing rapidly, all the frame work now being in position. This building will be larger than the former structure and differently constructed so as not to be so easily affected by the wind. It will be large enough to hold the great crowd which 3s expected to be here for the -state tigh school meet the last of next May. The track men have not begun regular training yet, but hope to as soon cis the weather permits. The lack of u largo gym with an indoor track at Karlham does not permit of much winler training, so the men look anxiously lor the coming of spring. Earlham expects to have a good team with the help of Captain White, who won the hurdle race in the I. C. A. Jj. meet last spring, and Wann, the .long distance runner, who took the tnile with ease at Terro Haute two years ago. Smelser, for the wights, will be on the team again this spring, and will be helped by Ralph Guyer, the Richmond high school star of last year. Carey, who won the hammer throw last spring, will be greatly missed in this event and also in the sprints but it Is thought that some of the new Jnen will be ablo to fill the gap. With the new men and the old point winners, Earlham expects to hold her own with the other members of the I. C. A. at Crawfordsville this spring. i The Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. has! written to Earlham for a meet to be held here and it is probable that it will be arranged for. - The Earlham Athletic association held a meeting ' yesterday. At the last meeting a committee was appointed to revise the constitution of the association and yesterday it was read and accepted as revised. No other business came up before the association.

HAILS FROM NEWCASTLE POLICE ARREST THE INEBRIATE AT THE RESIDENCE OF WILLIAM MILLS ON NORTH EIGHTH STREET. George Morris paced back and forth in one of the roomy cells of the city prison last night, and bemoaned- the fact that he had torn himself away from the peace and quietude of dear old restful Newcastle to lead a rapid lifo in Richmond. In his meanderings through the northern section of the city yesterday afternoon, George managed to get on intimate terms with various brands of booze, probably being of that class of Individuals who do not believe in spending all of their money in one house. However this may be, ere the shades of night had fallen, the pilgrim from Newcastle was, putting it mildly, in a decidedly erratic frame of mind. Such was his condition when he attempted to push his way into the rooms occupied by Mr. and Mrs. William Mills on North Eighth street. Mr. Mills, who is a member of the No. 1 hose house, was not at home, but Mrs. Mills was, and she shut and locked the door in the face, of the ubiquitous gentleman from the county of Henry, whereat he was greatly an gered and "threw the boots" into the aforesaid door with great vigor. Finally realizing, however, that his efforts to effect an entrance would come to nought, he sought to depart, but was prevented from doing so by a neighbor.' In the meantime somebody had informed Mr. Mills of the trouble and he was soon on the spot. A few minutes later the turbulent citizen from Newcastle was on his way to headquarters in the "hurry" wagon, and this morning he will be given an opportunity, to tea Juage eonverse how it happened. Morris claims to be an attorney. KIDNAPPED BY GYPSIES Wealthy Greek Finds his Long Lost Child in Camp of These Nomads. Chicago, Feb., 26.

The little girl spent last night at a police station in this city. Wmm awe itd yinie

SUING FOR BIG DAMAGES Litigation Against Owner Where Many Men Were is Resumed. of Mine Killed Duquoin, III., Feb., 26. The famous Leiter trial was resumed today in the circuit court of Franklin county. It Is likely that the case will be disposed of this time, so far as the minor courts are concerned. The Italian and Hungarian consul at Chicago together with relatives of the men killed in the explosion In the Ziegler mine in April, 1905 brought suit against Joseph Leiter, the operator of the mine for damages aggregating over $250,000.NEW SHORT STORIES The Deacon Explains. Franklin Whiteomb waxed reminiscent the other night and favored a few cronies assembled in his cozy library with a story or two of his early life ir that town where Uenman Thompson has made all Whitcombs famous, Swanzoy, N. II., say3 the Boston Herald. The senior deacon of the little white church in which Mr. Whiteomb first heard a sermon was an ardent advocate of good government and good laws. It w.ss his custom on the Sunday preceding the opening of the legislature to pray that affairs might run smoothly in that august assemblage. He would pray something after this fashion : mO Lord, bless the general court and grant that the senators and representatives may nil hang together." One Sunday after the deacon had fin lshed this stereotyped sentence a young man who was kneeling In a nearby pew and whose name Mr. Whiteomb for sundry reasons sees fit not to disclose exclaimed: "Yes, do, Lord, do! It is the prayer of all good people." The deacon was a little nettled and replied: "Brethren, I fear my meaning and that of the young man do not correspond. I pray that they may all bang together In peace and concord." "No matter what cord," said the youth whose identity Is withheld, "provided It's a strong cord." Mr. McDowell's Conundrum. Alexander McDowell, the handsome clerk of, the house, is an authority on conundrums, and he takes delight in springing new ones on the members. This is one he fired the other day at a party of New Yorkers and Pennsylvania in the cloakroom: "A man bought a dog for $10, sold it for $3 and one. Query What did he sell it for?" All kinds of answers were volunteered. Sereno E. Payne figured It out to be $16, Mr. Dalzell was certain that It was only $G, Mr. Fassett of Elmira, who may succeed Mr. Piatt In the senate some day, thought that $9 was the correct sum; Mr. Dwight thought $6 was 'it," and Mr. Wadsworth declined to hazard a guess. General Harry Bingham said that he would like to have time to think it over. Finally the crowd turned to Mr. McDowell and said. "Well, what did he sell the dog for?" Why, to set' rid of the dog," said Mr. McDowell, as he hustled awav i looking for new victims. After he had gone Mr. Fassett remembered that he had heard Cbauncey Depew get off that particular joke during the GrantGreeley campaign in 1S72. whereupon his companions declared that the cigars or something else were on the representative from the Elmira district. Washington Post, Why She Was Mad. "Foreign relations. said Senator Cullom recently, "are delicate things and must be bandied delicately. "Foreign relations, in fact, remind me of a newly married couple I heard about the other day. "Their life had been very happy for a year. Not a cloud had marred their perfect felicity. Then one morning the wife came down to breakfast mo rose and wretched. "She was snappish with her husband. She would hardly speak to him. And for a long while she refused to explain her unwonted conduct "Finally, though, the young: man Insisting that he be tokl why his wife was treating him so badly, she looked up, with tears in her eyes, and 6a id: " 'John Smith, if I dream again that yon have kissed another woman I won't speak to yon again as long as I live." . Knew Who He Was. One summer's day a number of years ago when Henry Ward Beecher was passing a part of his vacation at Litchfield, Conn., he passed a yonng lad who looked at the great preacher so determinedly that Mr. Beecher made up his mind to ppenk to Mm. He was always fond of children and usually made friends with them. "What is your name? asked Mr. Beecher. "Johnny Brown, modestly answered .the boy. "Well, Johnny, do yon know met" "Know you? . Sure I know yon. Well, who am IV "Shucks. said the boy as he hurried off to school, "everybody knows you're the husband of the lady that wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. ra etrcaaavsnt poor weary -metx A woman tiaeataxit.

The Peter SECOND HIGH LICENSE FIGHT IS ON IN HOUSE Slimp's Bill to Come Up for the Second Reading Today Opponents Use Former Tactics. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 26. It Is ex pected that the second fight in the house over the question of a $1,000 liquor license bill will be commenced tomorrow, when it is announced Slimp's bill will come up for the second time. The committee on public morals made a unanimous report today recommending the passage of the bill. After the report had been adopted in the usual manner, Mr. Sweeney, who had made the motion to indefinitely postpone the Mattingly bill, adopted the same tactics with the Slimp measure. Speaker Branch ruled the motion out of order. After considerable argument, during which several representatives, who are members of the public morals committee, charged that they had been prevented from signing a minority report, and which assertions were vigorously denied by Representative Morgan. The bill was referred back to the committee for further action. It is expected the committee will make a report tomorrow morning and that there will be a minority report. If such is the case, there will be another effort made to kill the bill. STILL BUSY AGITATING Frisco Papers Make Much of the Fact that Several Hundred Japs Land in California.
