Here-and-There News

The interlocking switch plant just completed to Lafayette is one of the largest in the state, costing $20,000. Four roads shared in the cost of its construction, namely, Wabash, Big Four, Monon and Lake Erie. The weighing of the mails, which has been conducted for the past several weeks on every mail train, under instructions from the post office department, was concluded Tuesday. The mails will not be weighed agaiu until 1903 unless the department thinks there is a big increase. The mails were last weighed three years ago. Indianapolis Journal: Fred Hall, chief engineer of the Monon lines, was in the city yesterday. 'The Indianapolis division is in «uch excellent condition that little will need to be done this season in the way of improvements, but on the main line a good deal is being done in cutting down grades and straightening curves. During the quarter ending Mar. 31st pneumonia outranked consumption as a destroyer of human life in Indiana by a score of 863 to 617. Total number of deaths in the State was 5,470 —an increase of 1,291 over the preceding quarter, and of 1,335 over the corresponding quarter of last year. Indiana will probably have to pay roundly for the privilege of having her soldiers camp on the state fair grounds. The committee appointed to assess the damages done to the grounds at - Indianapolis by the soldiers while they were in camp there, has ' made its report and finds the damages amount to $8,887.50. The association evidently needs money. The manuscript of Chaplain Biederwolf’s history of t he 161st regiment is now in the hands of the printers, Wilson, Humphrey & Co., of Logansport. It will be a volume of about 300 pages illustrated with upwards of 150 halftone cuts of scenes familiar to the regiment and interesting to their friends. The book will be issued in a few weeks.

A recuiting station has been opened at Lafayette with Captain Waterman in charge. A dispatch from Indianapolis says a number of men who were members of the 160 wish to enlist in the regular service and if the field proves profitable the station will be kept open several weeks and recuiting officers will be sent to all the towns which had companies in the 160th or 161st regiments. Chesterton Tribune: David J. Wile, who was shot by Mabel Burke at the Hotel Anthony, Chicago, on Wednesday of last • week, originally came from Laporte. When a lad of 17 or 18 years, he got a Chesterton girl in trouble, and was defended by Judge Johnson, who got him out of the scrape. He is a married man, who passed himself off as a smgle man, and it is claimed, under pretense of marriage, he betrayed Miss Burke. When she discovered he bad a wife, she decided to kill both him and herself. .Wile will recover. Miss Burke is J J r- i The new factory inspection law as it is called, provides, among a

whole lot of other things, that no : male under 16 or female under 18 I shall be mployed in any manufactoring or mercantile establishment, j laundry, bakery or or print shop, more than 10 hours a day except that other days may be made a little longer to shorten up Saturday, but not more than 60 hours work in any one week, is allowed. No child under J 4 can be employed in any of the above named businesses, nor in mines or quarries. Stores which employ femaleclerks must provide seats for them, when they have nothing else to do, which is a frequent occurence in storeswhich do not advertise. The 160th Ind. has beaten the world’s record in its low rate of mortality during its one year service. Of its 1,336 men only ten have died from natural causes. The average annual mortality in cities is twenty-three per 1,000 and in the country fifteen. The regiment kept its death rate below the latter figure even including two men who weie killed, one by a negro and another by drowning. The regiment has traveled 6,500 miles during the year: was in camp at Indianapolis, Chickamaugo Park, Lexington, Colum bus, Mantazas and Savannah and came back with the men in the best of health and spirits.- The 160th was conceded to be one of the best drilled and soldierly commands in the volunteer service, and the figures above given speak volumes for the good care taken of the men. Goodland Journal:—John Vannatta on Monday brought suit in the Newton circuit court against F. D. Gilman for S4OO, the value of one of the two Stout township warrants purchased by him, and he claims he bought on Mr. Gilman’s representation. One of the parties took a change of venue to Jasper county. The U. S. grand jury failed to indict S. B. Nickum the perpetual light faker, of Logansport, at its recent session at Indianapolis Post-office inspector Leatherman had worked up the case against Nickum but was unable to appear before the grand jury, because he is in Cuba detained by quarantine, and could not present his evidence. Nickum is held under bonds, awaiting the next grand jury.
