will probably serve from two to 14 years jin thp penitentiary. The Kokomo jail is full of religious enthusiasm these days. The county sheriff is a profound Christian and he has succeeded in convert several of the prisoners and they are holding meetings each evening in an effort to convert others. One of the convertsJb a man named Zeek, who is a victim of drink. He has pledged that never again shall liquor pass his' lips. S. E. Nicholson, author of the Nicholson law, and now a representative of the national anti-saloon league, has been endeavoring to have a bill enacted that will prevent the shipment of liquor into a state that has a prohibition law in effect. He was “called down” vigorously Saturday by Chairman Jenkins of the house committee on judiciary, who declared the law he proposed unconstitutional. Congressman Chas. Landis, of Delphi, chairman of the house committee on printing, has just instituted another of his investigations of the government printing office, and the public printer, Stillings, hajs been suspended pending an investigation. It has been found that an, auditing system adopted with a view'to ascertaining the cost of printing, has cost about $120,000 and resulted in no good whatever. There are many leaks in the big printery and they will probably not be corrected until some practical man that Is ready to break up the old established plan of operations is installed as public printer.

Thos. Mills, a well known and wealthy stock dealer of Eminence, Ind., was murdered near Quincy, Ind., Friday, and the greatest mystery surrounds the case. He was driving with a man named Cassell, and Casssell has several wounds, and claims that they were accosted by persons from the rear and that he was knocked senseless and did not know what had happened until he came to some hours later and found Mills dead at his side in the buggy. At first the motive was supposed to be robbery, but it was found that the murdered man had $654 on his person. An effort is being made to fasten the crime on Cassell, but there seems no motive for him to have committed the deed.
