MOUNTAINS OF HEADGEAR.
A Wholesale Hat House that %Exemplifies
What Can Be Done by Pluck and
Perseverance.

D you know" said Mr.. Hendrickson, of the
wholesale hatters, to the reporter, that Ameri-
cans wear the best hats of any people in the
world? Well, it is a fact. There is great
variety, and they wear the best and most stylish
shapes" The reporter looked at the long lines
of h~eadgear piled about and above him. The es-
tablishment at Nos. SO and 81 is the largest whole
sale hat house in Indiana, and ranks with the
largest in the West. There are three floors, the
frontage being thirty-two feet. while the first
floor has Just been extended and is now 20S feet
deep.
These spacious rooms have been filled by
Hendrickson, Letter & Co. with a magnificent
stock Of hats, caps and gloves. Five years ago
they began a business which, growing rapidly,
has reached its present proportions, compelling
them to move into larger quarters. This has
not been without hard work, but the firm are
noted for their energy-they are all workers.
and yet their success seems wonderful. st
used to be" said Mr.. H., that there were not
more than a dozen or so styles of stiff hats.
Now we have over a hundred styles-in fact,
everything both liz stiff and soft hats that is
made. The straw goods season is about over,
and we are now starting up on gloves and fall
goods. Our stock of fall goods is coming in
rapidly, and at the most satisfactory prices this
market has ever known. We can show our
trade the handsomest and cleanest lines that
ever came West, or that ever were sold any
where, East or West. These" in answer to an
inquiry of the reporter, who pointed to towering
piles of boxes) ARE soft hats. Oh, there's no
doubt whatever about our ability to supply all
the hats wanted in Indiana, besides taking in q

SUPPOSED FORGERY.
Extensive Purchases by an Illinois Man and
His Supply Of Blank Checks.

For the past week Morris D. Myer, Of Leha'
non, ILL.,, has been visiting South Meridian street
Wholesale houses and ordering large bills of goods.
He said that he was once in business in Lebanon,
but retired. The room he had occupied is now
vacant, and he thought the opportunity favora-
bic to establish a new store there; therefore he
wanted to buy largely, as he proposed to carry
the heaviest stock ever brought to that town.
At Byram, Cornelius & Co.'S he ordered 81 800
worth Of dry goods. Last Friday evening he
deposited with them a check for $500, drawn by
+. NJ. Gornley & Co, on which they advanced
him a few dollars. In addition to this they let
him have several shirts, handKerchiefs and other
articles. He selected a stock of groceries at
George ". Stout's, valued at $500. Mckee,
Branham & Co., the Dessar clothing house and
Holwegg & Reese sold him goods, the first FIRMS
bill being $3.50, the second 5000 and the third
$l52. At Hendrickson, Letter & Co.'S he
bought $3.50 worth Of goods, and night before
last. offered them a check on the Merchants Ma
tional Bank for $500, drawn by W. Fl. Kingan &
Co. He also ordered goods from Layman, Cary
d Co, but to what amount was not ascertained.
Hendrickson, Letter & Co. would have nothing
to do with the Kingan check. Yesterday Myer
was 10 call dU the several stores ana pay LOT Ju6
goods, but as his movements were queer, Officer
Haley watched him closely, and during the after
noon he went to the IllinOis-street House, where
the extensive purchaser stopped. AT this place
he learned that Niger had also attempted to
pass the Kingan check, and as it was signed W..
H. Kingan & Co. instead of Kingan q Co., the
true name of the firm, he arrested him on the
charge of forgery. When the prisoners pockets
were searched at the station house, a lot of blank
checks, a pass-book purporting to be Myers &C
count with the Merchants National Bank in this
city, and a check in his favor drawn on the Me-
ridian National Bank for $500, by Maysen, Hen
~ & Davis were brought to light. The pass
book had but one entry of deposit and that. was
dated July 10, and was for So, 600.
Myer says he intended to go into business at
Lebanon, and that he did not attempt to pass
the Kingan check. II only deposited it at the
Illinois House." said he. 1t is claimed by him
that ". III. Kingan is a resident Of Lebanon,
ILL.,, and that the four hundred dollars repre-
sented in tho check came to him through a
legitimate stock trade with Kingan. He APP
peared surprised when told that the charge Of
forgery had been put against him. 'They told
me-" he said, that they did not know what |
was charged with" He said that he expected a
large amount of money from Lebanon, yester-
day, and with that he intended to pay for the
goods he bought. Myer is regarded by the
officers as a crank, with more checks and i'm
aginary bank accounts than property Of real
value.

TAKING OUT DOCTORS LICENSES.
The Wrangle Between the County Clerk and
the Doctors Over the License Fee.

The trouble between the physicians and the
county clerk over the fee charged by the latter
for the license required by medical practitioners
under the Shively law, is not yet at an end.
The clerk now demands So for the license,
which is $3.50 less than was at first
asked. He claims that he is entitled to
$3.50 for the license and so cents for the
required affidavit. The Encouragement
has given an opinion on the law, in which he
says that the clerk may charge q fee of 81. so
and no more" Clerk McLain says that his charge
of two dollars is based on an Interpretation of
the law by Judge Ayres. The committee ap-
pointed by the Marion County Medical Society
to resist the charges which they believe to be
unwarranted, accept the Interpretation given the
law by the Attorney general, and
refuse to pay more; DR.. Frank
Medical Journal, has appealed for a commission
as notary public, and will issue the afhdavits
free of charge. The clerk will be required to
issue the license then for 81 80, and it is believed
that he can be compelled to receive the afidavits
executed before a notary.

EXCHANGING PIANOS.

We take secondhand pianos and organs in
part payment for new ones, and usually have
a number of instruments that have been used
to sell. These are alwaysput in good order in
our own shop, and offer opportunities to secure
serviceable instruments at a low price.
In buying a piano or organ many persons
have the idea that they must pay all cash.
There are thousands of families who have an
income of fifty to one hundred dollars per
month who can easily spare from five to ten
dollars of it and scarcely miss it. To all such
we would say, do not wait to lay up enough
to pay for an instrument before buying, but
see or write us at once for our terms. No
matter if you canno pay but five dollars a
month towards an organ, or only ten dollars
towards a piano. let US hear from you without
delay, and we will satisfy you that we are Civ
ing easier terms than any music house in the
United States. We furnish hundreds of
homes every year with pianos and organs,
and take our pay in small installments each
month or quarter. Were the purchasers
obliged to pay the full price of the instru-
ment in cash they would not buy one. All
letters of inquiry cheerfully answered. We
have men for that purpose alone, so do not
hesitate to write and tell US just how you can
afford to buy. D. II. BALDWIN & CO.,
