DR.. James HI. Harris, who resided and had his
Office in the Iron Block, died there very suddenly
at o'clock yesterday morning. He was afflicted
with heart disease and, anticipating the fate
that eventually befel him, he had expressly stip-
uated in his will that there should be no funeral
services over his remains, and that his body
should be given over to medical college for a
subject. He had also made the same request of
his wife, and, in strict accordance with his
wishes, the body will be sent to the college this
morning, and services held He leaves a

The annual report of the directors and war
den of the Jacksonville penitentiary was sab
mitted to the Governor yesterday. 1t is claimed
that the institution is ''run as judiciously and
economically as any other similar institution in
the country" but the income from the labor of
the convlcts is not sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the prison The inability, however,
of the administrative management to increase
the income by an advance Of the price of con-
Wet labor, is largely due, it is claimed, to the
fact that the buildings not suitable for pris-
on manufacturing.
The number of convicts in the prison at the
beginning of the fiscal year was 54s, and at the
close $50 The average number daily, was $40.

convicts have been discharged, of whom l ,l62

The Ballot Crime.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
It's scandalous thing that nothing has been
done to discover the scoundrel who tempered
with the ballots at the courthouse. If the in
vestigation had been pushed as it should have
been the ballot-mixer would undoubtedly have
been discovered and brought to punishment It
may not be too late now. Sam Dinnin's step
ladder might lead up to the thief, and then reve-
lations would follow to defeat the object for
which the crime was committed, and afford
another illustration of Loves abor Lost" Why

A Novel Suit.

DR.. Washburn, of Lafayette, wants the c., L.,
st. L. & G. to pay him $40, 900 damages for in
juries inflicted under rather peculiar cireum-
stances. In the month of October he boarded
train No. to come to Indianapolis to be present
at Democratic gathering The passenger
coaches being full, he went forward into the bag
gage car and sat down upon an eggcrate UPON a
rusty nail which protruded from the cover. This
resulted in the forming of an abscess, from
which he claims to have suffered greatly, and
which came near causing his death, and for this
mishap he brings suit for the sum above named

Broke Out Again.

1t is said that William Dowd will be elected
president of the Louisville, New Albany &
Chicago railroad in February, if he will accept
the position. He says he is not yet decided. 1t
is as much as sixty days since there has been an
official change. and it has excited considerable
comment. so unusual is it for thirty days to pass
without change. General Manager Carson is
handling the road with a good deal of ability,
and the earnings of the road have been running
$50, 900 per month ahead of those of the CORE
spending period of 1883; yet with new presi-
dent change in general managers will be highly
probable.

more to conclude the case in this court, and

congregation was held last night, and in a brief

TWO MUCH AGITATION.

No special good is likely to result
from the present agitation of liquor
legislation. The law is made. it is
now almost universally enforced.
Dear Griffin and Baker, .'give us a
rest" Your constant pickering can
not change the law aud they only
please your and our political oppo-
nents. One may say sharper things
than the other; one may get the start
of the other in the newspaper article,
but the law remains az it is, and the
question of its enforcement remains
with the courts aud the people. Every
judge says that he will faithfully en-
force the law. In every city, except
Leavenworth, the law is now enforced;
in Leavenworth Sheriff Keller has is-
sued proclamat ion, saying that all
saloons must be closed by the first of
May. Su. pose we talk less and stand
still and see what We shall see. Next
winter the legislature will meet again.
If this Jaw has glazing defects it is
reasonable to suppose that they will
be remedied. That is what happens
to all laws. Legislation is largely the
result ofexperiment; we try and keep
trying until we get the right thing.
In the meantime let us possess our
souls in patience. World.

1t has been long time since this
thriving little town has been heard
from through the columns of your
valued paper. To-day l would like a
short space to let strangers know tina,
there is such place as Garden Plain
in southern Kansas.
The first lot was sold on December
10, 1884, to Mrs. w. II. Doyle. The
first building was commenced on OF
about the LIST of January. To-day We
have two dry goods stores, three gro
Gerry stores, two hardware stores. two
blacksmith shops, shoe shop, a good
livery stable, two lumber yards, -four
grain dealers, one butcher shop, one
hotel, and last but not least comes our
grist mill, which will be ready fol-
operation in week or ten days, after
which will attempt full description
of all points of interest.

she can put an enormous army in the

cannot be doubted. In the Crimean
war she almost held her own against
the combined armies of England,
France, Turkey and Sardinia. British

troops must come from India, and
these cannot be relied upon unde: all
circumstances. In case of prolonged

What the combination of alliances

THE RAINS.

The frosts OF winter loosen the soil
three feet below the surface, much
deeper than any plow can 60, and q
long, cold winter is apt 10 be followed
by fruitful summer. This year the
spring rains have been timely and the
indications point to a year of abund-
aut prosperity. The fly and frosts
have ruined portions Of many wheat
fields, but these will be plowed up and
planted with corn-our great crop,
and the crop on which this county,
though small in area, leads every
county In tho state. We are rich
while we can raise corn, hogs and cat
tie, and no spring ever opened better
for these products than the present
season. Most of the blowing is still to
be done, but there is time enough to
do it and to get the crops planted al
sufficiently early date.-Hiawatha

THE LOWERING CLOUD.

The question of peace or war be.
tween England and Russia is still un-
settled and although both countries
are straiDing every nerve preparing
for the conflict that appears TO be in
evitsble, no formal declaration of war
is likely TO be made for al least a week
as it will take al least that length of
time 10 gather the information estab-
fishing the responsibility for the bat
tie of the kGshk. Russia i, staving
of the inevitable by pacific assurances
while she is making extraordinary
preparations for war. The tone of
the Russian press is fiercely warlike
aud Gen. Kamaroff7s action il ap-
plauded and il is reported that he has
been appointed commander in chief
of the forces in Turkestan. Russia is
burrying troops Ia the border and
the English fear she will occupy Herat
before the English troops can reach
that point. Cabinet meetings are held
daily in London and the people are in
a state of feverish excitement. The
English ministry is loath to assume
the responsibility of declaration of
war but if prompt action is not taken
a cabinet crisis is probable. The Brit
ish press ridicules the idea of waiting
for Kamaroff's excuse for the late bat
tie and scout the idea of believing il
when it does come. The feeling is
general that Russia is playing TO gain
time which W tn her is very impor-
tant consideration.
