QUASHED 5 BILLS ' ON SLIGHT ERROR Some Indictments Against Chas. Howren Were Dated "19013."
TO FILE AFFIDAVITS Error Does Not Aquit Man of Charges Faces 8 Other Bills. Five of the indictments against Charles Howren the Civil -war veteran of Dublin, Ind., charged with violating the liquor laws, in that he sold liquor without a license to miners and in a territory where its sale is prohibited were quashed this morning by Judge Fox because of a technical error in the indictments. The error on which the judge believd would justify him to quash the indictments was that the indictments were dated 1,000 years ahead of time, The blank indictments were printed in the year 1900 and supposed to be used before 1910. The date line gave the year 190 " and the last figure of the year was supposed to have been filled in by the person filling out the Indictment. ' The forms have been used tor several years and It has been customary for the cipher to be cancelled. Instead of cancelling the cipher the indictments were returned dated "19012" or 19018." Only fire of th thirteen indictments contained this technical erThis does not acoutt Howven of the harge. Affidavits will be filed. Sporting Gossip BASEBALL NOTES.

CHANGES lit BASIC LAW NOW PROPOSED Thirteen Amendments to the State Constitution Offered By Stotsenburg.
PLAN MANY CHANGES From Increasing Terms of Office to Qualifications of the Voters. f National News Association) j INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12. Senator Stotsenburg created a great surprise to day by the presentation of amend-, ments to thirteen articles to the state , constitution. The senate Democratic caucus, it was announced, has decided I to rush them" through and hold them over for the next general assembly, j should the people fail to decide for a ' constitutional convention in the general election in 1914, as provided for in another bill. Practically all amendments deal with terms of office of county and state officials, all of whom are given four years terms but prohibited from succeeding themselves. The general assembly is given the right to pass laws for the lnitative, referendum and recall of all officials, judges excepted. Enactment of a workman's compensation act is specifically authorized and the legislature is given power to define, "hazardous employment." One year's residence instead of six months in the state is made a required qualification for voters and registration is required except in counties of less than 50,000 population. The general assembly is impowered to grant special charters to cities, in ' effect granting them home rule. The governor is given the right to veto clauses or items la appropriation bills and a three-fifths majority is made necessary to pass bills over his veto. The supreme court is Increased to twelve members and when necessary may be divided into classes of three or more judges, a majority of whom may decide cases pending. Their term of office is fixed at six to twelve years. The general assembly is given broader powers including the classi fication of real and personal property j and the power tot define qualifications of lawyers. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

He was taken ill at Knollenberg's store on the morning of February 4 at 9 o'clock and was found dead in the Westcott hotel at 1:15 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. From the position of his body it is believed he died while in the act of reaching for the medicine which prescribed for him by a local physician.

FILES A DEMURRER In a City Case Company's Claim for $200.
A demurrer was filed against the Sullivan Stone and Cement company's claim against the city for $200 said to be due the contractors in accordance with the contract held by the company with the city, made in 1909 under the former administration. The company was given a contract to improve College avenue and South West Second street south to the corporation line. In accordance with the contract a reserve was held by the city which was to be paid to the contractors after they had kept the street in repair for one year. The company alleges that the street was kept In repair for one year, contrary to the alpi umiaru. rooming. ue w ,r u.u. Cept n De occa8ton- He 18 responsible for the separation of Jonaman Alexander and wife of New Paris according to Rich. White, is said to have continually talked with Rich about Mrs. Alexander. Turned the Tables. Alexander Dnmu one day found In his mall a letter from a French count I suggesting collaboration In the writing of a drama. Dumas to get the pecuniary benefits and the count to share in the glory. The author sent the following answer: "Sir, I am not In the habtt of harnessing a horse and an ass to my carriage. I regret, therefore, that I cannot accept your amiable proposition. " The count In bis turn wrote: "Sir. your note refusing to join me in literary work Is at hand. Of course yon are at perfect liberty to refuse so advantageous an offer, but I forbid your calling me a horse in the future." Meat Eaters. Australians and New Zealanders are the greatest meat eaters la the world. The former eat 2G- pounds of meat a year each and the latter 212 pounds, while Americans eat 185 pounds and the British only 106 pounds. GOOD BLOOD. Given good, clean, healthy blood, Nature will do the rest with any case of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils, pimples or skin disease of any kind. Good blood invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus It stands to reason that an effective "alterative" or blood purifier, while it will not cur all diseases, will help ln fighting any disease and will cure those mentioned above, all of which come from bad blood. Forty years ago Dr. A. B. Simpson of Richmond, was known as one of the most successful physicians in three states. Ills suocess was founded almost exclusively on one pre- ' nerinMnn tha mnnt nnwprfiil blood i purlficr ever known. After his death this prescription was regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country, and In forty years has never failed, even In that most dreadful of all blood diseases, syph1111s ln its worst stage. And when an alterative will do that It of course cleans and rebuilds blood affected with other troubles. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is purely vegetable, and as harmless as it is effective. It is sold at $1.00 per bottle at all drug stores. Advertisement.
