CAMPAIGN DOODLE MISSING.
The Republican COMMITTEES OF Indiana
Cut Out of 100000.

Cut Out of 100000.
An Indianapolis special of Dec. 16, says:
Quite a sensation has been created here
to-day by an article which appeared in 8
local morning paper, which purpOrts to be
an interview with a member of the republi-
can state central committee, whose name S
withheld. The Interview tells of crooked
ness in connection with certain large funds
contributed to the last republican campaign
committee, but which never reached the
treasurer of that committee.
This story has been the subject of gossip
since the election. 1t is to the effect tina
about week or so before the election Chris
Magee, the prominent Pennsylvania politi
clan, notified Mr.. Huston. chairman of the
Republican state committee, that the Tariff
Club, of Pittsburg, had raised 500, 900 to be
used in this state. Mr.. Huston sent two
young men, who are more or less know
throughout the state. to Pittsburg to get
the money and hurry it here. 1t was
handed over to them BY the treasurer of the
PittSburg organization, who took receipts
for it. The young men returned here and
created the impression that the money had
been sent for use in doubtful democratic
congressional districts. This story was &C
credited, and no more attention was paid
TO the matter until Clris Magee came to
this city couple Of days before the election.
During a talk with Attorney Genera
Kitchener and Mr.. Houston, Mr.. MageA
spoke of the money that had been collected
Suspicion being aroused, an investigation
resulted. Then it was discovered that the
money had never been turned over for cam
paign purposes, but had been placed in the
pockets of the men who received it and of
their friends. The publication has been ex-
pected

They Come Out First Best in Their
Fight at Augusta.
AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 1S.-R. J. McFarran,
a member Of the American Ticket Brokers'
Association, has been jailed here for day
and a half on a charge of scalping tickets
in violation Of the city's special ordinance
f1rbidding the practice. When the exposi-
ton was inaugurated, the city, at the re
quest of the directors, who wished to secure
concessions from the railroads, increase
the license of ticket scalpers from
$50 per year to IS per day. The scalpers
went across the river into Carolina and did
their work by runners. McFarran, who is
n New Yorker, was caught and put in Jail
The association telegraphed that they wouln
look after him. Judge II. ID. d. Twigg,
was employed to defend him, and to-day be
was acquitted. The defense was on the line
that the license was a debt, and uonpaymeni
was not punishable by Imprisonment; aud
also that the sum required made the licens
prohibitory, and was therefore unconstitu-
tional. This view was sustained, and the
scalpers are greatly chagrined on learning
that they could nave done business all along

to Settlement Favored.

BAXTER SPRINGS, KAN, Dec 1s.-The
Indian Territory convention met in the city
hall to-day and passed resolutions favoring
the immediate opening Of the entire Indian
Territory to white settlers and the allot-
ment of lands in severaltY to the Indians
Delegates were present from many Of the
principal cities of Missouri and Arkansas
A liberal representation from many of the
Indian tribes was also present. Ex-Gov. r.
I. Crit enden of Missouri was elected per-
manent chairman and c. w. Daniels of Bax-
ter Springs secretary An interesting and
important feature of the convention was
the attendance and outspoken sentiment of
the Indians themselves. Quite a number of
chiefs and influential men of the various
Indian tribes came out strongly in fav r of
allotment of lands, of individual resporsi-
bilities of citizenship, and the protection of
the general government. Chief John Early
of the Ottawa nation. Richard Vile of the
Miami nation, and William Pab &c of the
Peoria nation made stirring speeches in
dorsing the measures advanced by the con-
vention.

poor quality of liquors purchased by one
