the Jef1ers onvie, Madison e Indianapolis route,
arrested in Louisville on the charge Of stealing
letters, resided at No. 20 Woodlawn avenue, this
city. There were eighteen letters found in his
valise, among them four decoys. He was a
graduate of the High school, and had been il the
mail service eighteen months. In an interview
with reporter of the Louisville Commercial,
after his arrest, Cooper said: This is put-up
job on me. 1t has been instigated to GUST me
from tie service, and it now looks much like the
plan has succeeded In putting those letters in
my grip, | followed general custom of all the
boys on the road. In case we get letters
too late TO be tied out in the regular
packages, we take them with US and hand them
to the men TO whom we transfer the matter.
The rule is to carry them in our hands, but none
of us ever do that. Not one of the letters was

was production which, in richness and accu-
racy of costume and picturesoueness of scenery,
has never been excelled in this city. Every
scene was especially painted for the company;
the costumes, the properties and the other Access
series were all new and appropriate to the time
and action. The Cibber version of the play adapt
ed and arranged in six acts three of which are
given without intermission, is the one used by
Mr. Keene, and this affords opportunities of
which he takes advantage, for the display of the
various scenes, which have evidently been
painted by an artist The last act alone is gwen
in seven scenes, terminating with striking
representation of the battle of Bosworth The

THE INDIANA LEGION CLAIMS.
The Auditing Board Cannot Satisfactorily
DisburSe the Appropriation.

The auditing board on military claims, created
erai Assembly, appropriating sc, 900 II for the
payment of the claims of Indiana Legion soldiers
after finding that they are unable to perform the
duties assigned to them, yesterday gave out the
following for publication:
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. %, 1885.
''The board of audit, consisting of the Govern
or. Auditor of State, and Adjutant- general au-
thor;Zed by an act of the General Assembly ap-
proved April s, 1885, to adjust the claims of the
members of the companies of the Indiana Legion
and Independent Company of Militia and Minute
Men. who rendered service under orders of the
Governor during the rebellion that have no rolls
on file in the Office of the Adjutant general, have
had filed before them afidavits of the officers
and members of sixteen companies principally
from the county of jefferson, and claiming to
have rendered service during the rebellion.
Some of the companies claim pay for three
months, some for five months and some fer
eight months service The oral testimony sub
mitted before the board in relation to the serv-
ices rendered by the companies, differs widely
from that contained in the affidavits, and shows
the services rendered to be much less than
that claimed in the written testimony, and in
some cases shows that scarcely any services at
all were rendered, and what were rendered being
without orders from the Governor that the
board finds 1t impossible to arrive at any just

finds that the claim for services submitted on
paper by the different companies would, if al
lowed, exceed good many times the appropria-
ton.
Being satisfied that no correct estimate can
be made of the services rendered by said com
panes, except by oral testimony taken by a
commission which should visit the locality and
hear the evidence of the members of the com
panes and officers under oath to the services
rendered and there beingno authority providing
for the expense incidental to such an investiga-
ton, the board decided to refer the whole matter
to the next General Assembly for such action as
it may deem proper to take in relation to the
same
"The board is of the further opinion, based on
information received since payment of Captain
Steinberger's company, for five months serv-
ices, on the sworn testimony in writing of the
officers and members of the company, that the
amount allowed said company was in excess of

A NEW CONSTITUTION.

The judiciary committee of the Kan
sas state senate, to whom was referred
tie joint-resolution calling a constitu-
tionsl convention, makes two reports.
The majority simply recommend that
it do not pass. The minority report
reads:
The undersigned, members of the
judiciary committee, dissent from the
report of the majority with reference
to senate joint resolution No. 4, pro-
viding for the calling Of . cspstitu-
tional convention, aud we recommend
that the same be passed. We think
thai the condition of our state is SO
different from what it was at the time
of the adoption of the present consti-
tuition, the industries SO much more
diversified, its advancement in popu-
lntion aud wealth has been SO maryel-
Gus, that what was sufficient tor 1859
does not suffice for 1885.
Ii is generally conceded that numer-
Gus amendments TO the constitution
are necessary.
In our judgment, the changes that
should be made, cannot be reached by
q process ofpatching, but can only be
effectively aud satisfactorily made by
a revision of the whole instrument.
We therefore think it will be serious
mistake for this legislature to adjourn
without making proper provision for
submitting TO the people the question
of a constitutional amendment.

A CRANKY HOUSE.

The Kansas house of representatives
by vote permitted tramp female pol
itician TO take up their time in address
ing them on Monday. The best men
in Kansas would have allowed no such
privilege. The governor himself if he
desires to address that body, must do
il in writing. Governor Anthony
succeeded in delivering his message
personally, but there was q dust
kicked up because Of that. We know
. good many men, honorable citizens,
who have spent the best part of their
lives in Kansas, who would like TO ad-
dress that house on subjects vital
to the best interests of the state, but
the cranks who permitted a woman
who has had TO appeal to an Illinois
court for her character, wouldn't
think of such thing.

Mrs. Cougar, Wichita's night street.
taiker of last fall, is at Topeka taking
up the time of representatives and
senators in boring them with her views
on the subject of female suffrage. If
that body of men appreciate what they
are there for they will saw the peram-

and fool no time away. Ii they are
not certain as TO the sentiment of the
state aud care nothing for expenses,
let them submit the proposition of
female suffrage to the people in the
shape of = constitutional convention,
and then note how squarely the people
will set down on Helen Cougar and the
whole short haired tribe which would
flock into the state.
