J.-Where viewers appointed in proceeding for
the location of highway report that the pro-
posed highway would not be of public utility,
and refuse to lay out and make the same, as pro
vided in Section SOLO, the location of the high
way cannot be coerced by an appeal to the Cir
cult Court from the order of the board confirm
ing the report. The inference from the statute
is that the only remedy petitioners may resort to
when adverse report is made is to file
their bond and petition over again.
Until the highway proceedings have
progressed so far as that final order or decs-
ion is made by the board after report of the
viewers has been received, which determines that
the proposed road is OF public utility and in
which the road is laid out and described no APP

GRAND PERA-HOUSE-''PEPITA."
J. M. Hills Opera company presented the
musical melange prepared by Alfred Thompson
and Edward Solomon, filled full of cheap non
sense and called an opera Such as it is, it is
presented in fair form, with no vocalists Of par
ticuar power, though Miss Ethel Corlette sang
the part of Pepita with sweet voice. The
merits of the entertainment rest almost wholly
in the funny business between Prof Pongo and
Curaso, and drearv enough it is at times The
opera is deficient in spirited music, and has no
catchy airs, though at times the audience ex-
pressed great satisfaction, and performers were
recalled repeatedly. Curasos funny" song was
too broad to be very funny, but he was honored
with applause The stage setting was good. and in
the last act quite pretty, and the general effect
was excellent To keep up with the run of pop
ular amusements one should see "Pepita," but
II for any other reason it has not been made
known. 1t will run the rest of the week, with
The usual Saturday matinee.

stealing six bushels of wheat. He had an expe-
rience on another occasion before Judge Norton

Uncertainty of Coal Prices.

A secret meeting of the Indianapolis Coal Elk
change was held yesterday, having been called
for the purpose of advancing prices. By vote
of fourteen to twelve the meeting adjourned
without doing anything, which, from the close

ance that they may not pop prices up when the
first cold snap comes on.

among this class the laws relating TO their trade
are not regarded at all. The prosecuting attor-
ney, on the other hand, claims that no fines are
ever placed on the liquorsellers except when they
plead guilty. Whenever he has the best evil

punishment on account of the favor defend

The following beautiful lines written
ON the death of Garfield, once copied
from paper; but they maybe appropri-
ate in other cases, and am sure there
are more scrapbooks than mine that
have room for them.
DREAMING THE NEWS.
who will break the news 10 MOTHER
Was the laughter, gricving cry
IS the tidings that brother
Had M last been called 10 die
She will bc bCrcft, heart broken.
when shc hears that life is Ned;
Who will break the news to mother?
Who viii tell her James Is dead?
ON her couch she swectly slumbcrs,
Dreaming pleasant dreams of him:
Almost eighty years she numbered,
And her eyes with age are dim.
Who could bear 10 see that sorrow;
That would bow her silver hcady
Who could listen t. her weopingy
When they told her James was dead;
Waiting for her feeble fingers,
On the shelf the message lay;
That would pierce her loving bosom
On THAI fair september day
And they passed her room in silence,
Where the Holy book She read;
IN the sunlight of the morning,
She must learn that james is dad
With slow but gentle stepping
Comes the Gnsuspcctng dame;
To the presence of the children
Who were whispering her name
And they tried their grief 10 smother,
A. they met her troubled sight;
Who would break the news to mother
That her darling died last night;
That beside the silent ocean,
lie was lying still and ca.m
Where the waves eternal motion
Were chanting his funeral psalm.
That, while white winged ships were sailing
Homcward to ilowcry lea,
lie was drifting. slowly drifting
OutupOn deaths shadowy sea.
And they broke the news to mother,
And she hid her face in woe;
And she wopt, alas how sadly
For the precious one laid low.
But with trembling voice she faltcrcd
Ere her tears had ceased 10 flow,
with her faith in Godunaltcrcd,
Let the dear Lords will lie done. -
Who shall break the news to mother?
NO one now need pause g. ask.
As she knclt beside tho coffin,
Hencctorth. stin her crown was won,
For the princcly child who kissed her,
In the gaze of Washington.
