HUNT STARTS MOB SCEIINH SENATE With Chamber Nearly De- , scrtcd Asks to Reconsider on Proctor Bill.
' (Palladium fr'pcclal) Indianapolis, Feb. 10. There was mounting In hot haste and calling to anna and all that tort of thing, don't you know, in tbo senate chamber late Thursday afternoon, when Senator Hunt, taking advantage or the empty beats caused by the wearisome Tcrrc Haute school squubblo and the lateness of the hour, made a motion to reconsider the vote upon the Proctor rent rlctlve and regulative measure which had been all bound 'round with a woolen string after much cussing at the knots earlier In the day. A dozen senators would have spelled the number who were In the chamber when the motion was made, and Ihey were getting ready to go home when Hunt obtained recognition of Ihe chair. It was presumed he was going to make a motion to adjourn And end the agony. Hut, nix. He did 'quite the contrary. He solemnly moved to reconsider tho vote upon the Proctor bill and the lieutenant governor nearly had a stroke of apoplexy. The sleepy and deserted senate suddenly assumed the aspect of a village street corner when a couple of tiull pupa decide to try conclusions. Jlrlls rang in wild alarm summoning the absentees, doorkeepers went around corridors on one wheel In utter deflanco of all sieed laws, the bucolic visitors who had remained to see tho last dog hung thought the governor had been assassinated or Senator Powers skunk bill had escaped from captivity. Staid and dignified senators slid In from committee rooms after the fashion or bell hops rushing for tho luggage of the arrival who wear plush hats. Everybody stampeded to the space in front of the lieutenant governor's desk and demanded their constitutional rights, which tho Hon. Hall assured them was not concealed on or about his person. It was very like tho cub reporter who was sent In an emergency to cover a railroad wreck. After u silence of twelve hours he wired his chief, "All la confusion; can get nothing!" Finally Senator Don Quixote Proctor tilted Into the locoed bunch of statesmen and demanded the motion of the dry senator from Winchester be laid on tho table. Tho shades of night were falling fast and it was the concensus of opinion that the suggestion of Proctor waa a wise one and the rebellious bill bearing his name should be laid In some safe place over night, so the roll call was ordered. Twenty-five wanted It on the table, and 16 did not, so on the table it ' went. And for the benelt of those not so versed In the labyrinths or parlia mentary law as Lieutenant Governor Hall it must be explained that this action puts It beyond tho power of the senate even to mention the Proctor bill again until it comes back from tho house with its face washed and dressed In a new frock. Senator Fleming got In just In time to vote and bear the result and then he said to Senator Hunt, "Did you mean It, or was it a joke?" But Hunt being a physician refused to disclose any professional secrets.

MANY CHILDREN HOT III SUNDAY SCHOOLS 8,000,000 People in the United States Arc Not Affiliated, It Is Said.
Chicago, Feb. 10. There are eight million young people between the ages of five and eighteen years in the United States not in the Sunday schools of either the Roman Catholic or the Protestant churches. This is the report made by the Rev. David O. Downey, corresponding secretary to the board of Sunday schools of the Methodist Episcopal church. Few' Go in Northwest. "There are," said Dr. Downey, "over one million children in the states of Minnesota. North Dakota, South ; Dakota. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.two-thirds of the child population of these states that are not reported in the Sunday schools. New England "has 800,000 and New York 2,200,000 children not yet reached, whllo among the colored children of the nation there are three million more. "Since the establishment of the board of Sunday schools two years and a half ago," Dr. Downey continued, "the enrollment in Sunday schools of the Methodist Epicopal church has increased 89G.491. making a total enrollment of 3,884,168. There have been 878 new Sunday schools established and 188 have grown into regular church organizations. Over $4fl,O0O has been expended In. direct inisslnary work."

The case of Kato Scott against tho Ohio Electric Railway company for $ I CO damages for the death of a horse, which waa to have been heard in1 the circuit court on Friday, was indefinitely postponed on account of Injuries which Judge H, C. Fox sustained on Wednesday in a fall at the court house. They were more serious than first an ticipated and necessitate him remain ing at his home. The judge was with in a few steps of the first floor when Ills foot slipped on the smooth marble and he was thrown violently to the floor. No bones were broken but he was bruised up considerably and his arm pains him greatly. He expects to preside at court at least by Monday. Tho damage suit Is said to be the result of refusal of the traction company to reimburse the plaintiff for a horse which she owned and which got on the track and was killed. Although the damages are small the attitude of the litigants indicates the case will be bitterly contested. KERMIT ROOSEVELT A TRACK ATHLETE (American News Service) Host on. Mass.. Feb. 10.

BAR HOBBLE SKIRT FROM CHICAGO PARK Beach Commissioners Prescribe Plain Blue Bloomers as Adequate.
Chicago, Feb. 10. The hobble skirt at last has found one place where it has been tabooed. It cannot be displayed this season on the bathing beaches of Lincoln park. That is final, because the park commissioners have agreed that only common ordinary blue bloomers are to be worn. The slim girl is passed up along with the hobble. The commissioners have decided that only fat girls love to splash around in the water and as an evidence of that belief yesterday instructed that an order be placed for 400 pairs of bloomers, ranging in measure from twenty-seven to fiftysix This offers small hope for the girl with a slim figure to cavort around the beach, for what would she do tucked away in a fifty-six bloomer when a twenty-two would be a "perfect fit." But the park commissioners have decreed and it looks as if oly the girls with plump figures will be given a chance to 6hine on the beaches of Lincoln park this year. It was Frances T. Simmons, president of the board, who appeared as the foe to the slim girl and the hobble skirt, because President Simmons told the commissioners that more fat girls than Blim ones like to swim. "The skirts we shall order," said President Simmons, "will be of the old standard type. The hobble effect may be all right on the street but in the water it hasn't a chance. There j will be nothing lavish in the colors, cither. The garments will be a simple dark blue without any stripes, polka dots or frills." The commissioners also at the meeting agreed to fit out all the small parks on the North Side with gymnasium supplies. A LIFE FOR A LIFE. Cheerful New Guinea Custom Which Causes Frequent Murders. Everywhere In New lluine.t the traveler is continually brought face to face with death, and the natives are devoid of the slightest pity or respect for the dead or dying, although after a death they will often wail and mourn for a considerable time. Murder is an everyday occurrence, and nothiug could be worse than the morals of the natives. In fact, they have none. They thieve and lie with a persistence and cunning which are surprising. The Pnpuans have a cheerful custom which demands a life for a life. Should any one die at the first opportunity they kill some one they are not rery particular whom to make up for it. "While we were at Humbokl bay," says Professor Pratt In the Wide World Magazine, "a Malay died of dropsy, lie was tbe'first Malay who bad ever come to that part, and the Papuans greatly respected him. "Very well,' they said. we must shoot a Malay with our bows and arrows to pay for bis death.' And sooner or later some innocent person would be killed to sqtiare the account, when everylxHly except, presumably, the victim's friends would be satisfied." A Disguised Toast. At one time the officers under Lord Howe refused to drink bis licnlth at I their mess. for. though a splendid ad- ! miral. he was not popular in the navy j on account of a certain shyness and I want of tact with those about him. j The chaplain, who was a protege of his lordship, was mortified nt this and ! determined that the officers should drink to Ird Howe. When called upon for a toast one day he said. "Well, gentlemen, I can think of nothing better nt this moment than to ask you to drink the first two words of the Third Psalm, for a Scriptural toast ftr once may be taken from one of my cloth." The toast was drunk. Not one of the officers indicated by word or look that be was ignorant of the words alluded to. On referring to the r.ible it was found that the Third Psalm begins, "Lord, how are they increased?" Worth Her Weight In Butter. Curious customs still prevail with regard to ma ri rose. In some parts of t'ganda the custom is to offer six needles and a pack of india rubber for a wife. Some of the Kaffirs sacrifice oxen. The Tartars of Turkestan Rive the weight of the prospective wife in butter. In Kamchatka the price varies from. one to ten reindeer. Some an rages require a certain amount of lalntr. Among the aboriaines it is said the current rate for a wife is a box of matches, which prompted a Paris contemiorary to speculate whether one of the French government boxes would be accepted. REID EXPERIENCES "BUSTED" FEELING New York, Feb. 10. Daniel G. Reid, one of Wall street's biggest speculators and worth $23,000,000 to $30,000,000 has just experienced one of those sudden changes in fortune that are sometimes read about in novels. For a time he was confronted with the question of smuggling aboard one of the ferryboats. Like an ordinary mortal he could not scare up a single sou when he needed money most. Mr. Reid, with Judge Moore, was on his way home when he plunged his hand into his pocket, expecting, as usual, to find the customary big roll of greenbacks. All his hand touched was the lining of his pocket. Judge Moore was quick to realize the financial embarrassment of his friend, and produced the 10 cents which permitted them to take the tube trip.
WILLIE'S DIARY IS HARD ON FATHER Wore Night Ctothes'of Woman His Wife Is Suing for $50,000.
Boston, Mass., Feb. 10. Captions such as "The Nightshirt Episode," "Behind the Portieres," "Christmas Night ISK'5." and "The First Time I Knew of Mrs. Merriam," were today heard from the diary of William B. Heath, 21 years of age. The extracts were read in the trial of the $50,000 damage suit brought by Mrs. Emma Frances Heath of Maiden, against the wealthy Maiden widow, Mrs. Sarah F. Merriam. for the alleged alienation of Nathaniel Heath's affections. From the contents of the diary it was evident young Heath kept a careful record of domestic affairs in the Heath homestead five or six years ago. Under the caption, "April 17, 1905." the boy had written: "Pa showed me and ma a roll of $100 in bills which he said Mrs. Merriam gave him. Ma and I thought it strange she should give it to him." In telling of the "nightshirt episode" William said his father went to Mrs. Merriam's home and remained overnight; that his father had no nightrobe with him, but borrowed one of Mrs. Merriam's. Under the same caption William had jotted down that his father about this time began to stay away from home all the time. "Behind the portieres" related to a scene in the Heath home, according to the writer. Mrs. Merriam had been invited there to dinner. After dinner, the diary narrated, she got up, and as she passed under the portieres, his father kissed her. ANOTHER CLUE GONE Girl Traced to Italy Not Miss Arnold. (American News Service) Rome, Feb. 10. Another theory in the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Miss Dorothy Arnold, the New York heiress was exploded here when it was learned that Miss Marjorie Brown, who sailed from New York on the liner Cincinnati is not the missing girl. Miss Brown in a note sent to intervlewsr said: "I am Marjorie Brown of Atlanta, Ga., and the daughter of Edward F. Brown of the law firm of Brown and Randolph. I am sorry I can throw no light upon the absence of Miss Arnold but unfortunately I can not aid in he search as I do not know her." Miss Brown excused herself from a personal Interview on the ground of illness, as she is suffering from a severe cold. She and her traveling companion, Miss Johnson, are stopping at the Eden hotel.

EATON INSTITUTE A GREAT SUCCESS Farmers Take Initial Steps to Have a Special Building Erected.
(Palladium Special) Eaton, O., Feb. 10. Concluding one of the most interesting farmers' institutes ever held in Eaton, officers of that association Thursday afternoon presented and adopted a set of resolutions of great importance, locally and state wide. "Resolved, that Preble county and the village of Eaton inaugurate a movement whereby there will be se cured and erected a suitable public building to accommodate such- assemblages as gather upon the occasion of the farmers' institute and other similar meetings." Following the reading of this resolution it was announced that about one-half of those desirous of attending the Thursday afternoon session were turned away. Other resolutions adopted follow: Resolved, That there be an appropriation of $10,000, to be used in Ohio for the purpose of preventing cholera among hogs. Resolved, That the naitonal congress pass the parcels post law. Resolved, That the legislature pass a pure seed bill. Resolved, That there be more stringent laws regulating the fertilizer traffic. Resolved, That a license stallion fee be required. Resolved, That the Preble county institute nest year be given state aid. Although denied the aid of the state this year, it is generally conceded that the meeting just closed was the best the county has ever afforded, there having been included in the program speakers of superiority. The chief factors in the meeting were State Agricultural Secretary A. P. Sandle's, State Veterinarian Paul Fischer, Lecturer C. R. Wagner, Lecturer I. M. Biddinger, and ex-Governor Andrew L. Harris. Other local men taking part were C. W. Bloom of New Paris, J. H. Blackford, Eldorado, J.' L. Brouse, Eaton, O. T. Aydelotte, Campbellstown. Swell Sot Credentials.

SPECIAL VENIRE IS
TO BE Unprejudiced Jury Will Hear the South N Street Crossing Case. Arrangements were perfected on Friday by attorneys for the South Side Improvement association and the C. & , O. railroad of Indiana, litigants in the matter of the opening of South N street across the railroad tracks, for the selection of a jury which shall deliberate In the trial beginning on February 14. with Special Judge Caldwell presiding. From a list of a hundred or more farmers and business men in townships in the county through which the railroad does not operate, a venire of twenty-five will be selected by John F. Markley, the court bailiff and Albert Anderson, a well known resident. From these men a jury will be selected. It was felt that this was the best method of procedure as jurors wholly unprejudiced in favor of either of the litigants could only be secured in this manner. The attorneys, including the firm of Robbins and Robbins and Henry U. Johnson for the railroad, and Freeman and Freeman and Gardner and Jessup for the association, had arranged to meet in the court room on Friday morning to select twenty-five men for the special venire. But as it wa found it would take several hours to select this number, the at torneys decided the quickest and perhaps the fairest method would be to allow Mr. Markley and Mr. Anderson to make the selection. PREPARES TO FIGHT DR. JONES' DEMAND Manford B. Wallingford, of White water, who was sued in the . Wayne circuit court on Wednesday by Dr. Arthur H.

The defendant has engaged the legal firms of Robbins and Robbins and Gardner and Jessup.

ADVICE JIT PARROT Yells "Run Like" as House Falls.
When John Cans of Eaton, O., rushed into his home the early part of tho week and warned his wife and niece to hurry from the house as the building was about to cave in. be grabbed up the parrot and started for the stairway, being urged by the garrulous bird to "run like h 1; run like h 1," his friends say, which advice the Gans promptly observed. The bird's rapid commands left no room for deliberation in the matte and undoubtedly served to increaso the speed of the family in getting to a place of safety on the sidewalk. Where the sagacious bird learned tho phrase is a mystery, Mr. Gans says. The building owned by Mr. Gans crumbled in as a result of the foundation being weakened by excavations in the basement. An adjoining building also fell in. .Everyone in the building had warning early enough to make their exit in safety. TRAINER BITTEN BY A TAME ALLIGATOR Washington, Feb. 10. Custy, a seven foot alligator which is being exhibited in a local music ball, went on the rampage and attacked his trainer, Bert Swan. . Several swipes from the horny tail of the beast and the snap of its jaws on the leg of the victim sent the stage hands scurrying to the show man's assistance. They pried Custy loose and a surgeon sewed up Swan's wounds. He found, in addition to several cuts about the arms, legs and body a deeper gash across the scalp.
