filed with the board for street. alley and

FUN In THE POLICE COURT.


Judge Buskirk short time since released
Mike Bowler, who had been arrested on
the charge Of being a common thief. At
the time of the arrest there was no specific
charge against Bowler, but the officer who
made the arrest did so simply because he
happened to see Bowler on the street. The
Judge, upon dismissinG Bowler. took oc-
casion to give the police lecture in GRIM
NAL economy. He said that here was q
man who was making an honest effort
full one. to lead q decent life. Right at
the very time when he needed encourage
ment and friendly word of help, q police
man arrests him on the strength of his
past reputation, although the unfortunate
man was dong nothing to warrant arrest
at the time. This is the very thin to en-
courage crime instead of break it up" said
the sapient Judge. and L want more care
given to this matter in the near future"
Superintendent Colbert took unbrage at
this little lecture and yesterday made re-
ply to the Judge in defense of the officer.
The Judge came back at Colbert at the
opening of court yesterday morning by
stating that the Official returns of the last
municipal election showed that e. c. Bus
kirk had been duly elected Judge of the
indianapolis Police Court and not Thomas
Colbert. That being the case E. e. Buskirk
would proceed to remain in sole charge of
the said Police Court to the exclusion of
Thomas Colbert. The latter sat over in
the corner with one end of his mustache
in his mouth and the other being busily
twisted between his fingers. 1t is more
than likely that this ends the matter.

City Engineer Mansfield yesterday re-
ported to the board that his estimate for
repairing the north half of Washin ct on
street. between State street and Beville
avenue was s1,150So. He was instructed
to advertise for the work at once. to be
done by independent contract at the city's
expense. The condition of this street dur
ing the winter and spring has been an out
rage of the worst kind. At the beginning of
winter it was ploughed MP. to till the
ditcbes at the side and never q load of
gravel was put upon it. Forsix months It
has been perfect qusgmire of sticky clay

Wood Davis, the well known writer,
tonight. He is here in the interest of
the Anti option bill. He has been at
work for two years to get the bill
through Congress, and says he will not
stop until it is disposed of IN some way.
He thinks the dealing In futures the
greatest outrage yet put upon the
farmers, and that the anti option law
wnl go a long way toward putting US
on u feet again. He informs me that
he visited the South once before and
found the cotton dealers opposed TO
any change, out says they are now
more favorable ana he hops TO get
their influence a. the next session of
Congress. Nj Davis is d large farmer
in the West, and quite wealthy. He
says he has made nc money on his
farm since 1883 and that Is why he
has been studying and working so
hard.

There is much being said now about

harm but much good to come to he
country from an extra session, pro

lief 1t has been promising. 1t will take
time, careful study ana lots of hard
work on the part Of the committees
who will have these reform measures
In hand, and we think the sooner the
work is commenced the sooner RI lief
Will come. But on the other hand If
the extra session should be called and
the time be trlttered away in useless
tlnkerlng on Questions of no impor-
lance or of minor Importance. am
Congress should fail to come up to the
expectation of the people, we had bet
