sire TO promote Republican principles.
Their membership fee is 81 and 81 animal

rooms. billiard tables. etc. Young men

have a membership Of one thousand in full
sympathy and good working order for the
campaigns of the future. The club
cordially invites all men OF Republican
views 20 become members. lt hopes soon
TO be able to furnish q library of political

bounded confidence in Republican prin.
ciples and pride in the history and useful
ness of the party.

RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS.
Big Four Trouble Subsiding-Rumorad De-
mands on the Panhandle.

The differences which have been rife be-
tween the Big our telegrsphers and the
company for some time are as good as set
tied, and it is now almost u surety that
there will be no strike. The operators are
very much averse to it. They think that
1t is the wrong time to p~reoipitate q strug-
Gle, and Chief Ramsey, of the t~elegrsphers,
has been swung round to that belief.
The road has made some concessions.
1t will increase the D ay of q certain class
of operators, as has been demanded. and to
oounteract the increased expense e~ntailed
thereby will abolish certain MINOR Off ces.
Men and company seem to be mutually
agreed, and hat will doubtless end all
trouble.
There has been q rumor afioat for several
days that the operators on the Pitusburg
division of the Pennsylvania Company
would make a demand for higher wages. as
well as the adjustment of several other
grievances. but such q move has not
as yet m~aterIalized. The men
are strongly organized, and should
they strike to enforce their demands il
would result in q serious Inconvenience to
the company. lt is thought that this ru-
NOR has been circulated simply To impress

THEIR GAS SHUT OFF.
Indianapolis Company Forces the Cooking
Stove lssue-Suits 10 BE Brought

There promises to be as many suits, of
more or less Importance, brought this year
by consumers of natural gas against the
vendors of it as there were last. and all on
account of trying to evade ordinance rates.
Some time ago the indianapolis Gas Com
pany served notice on Its patrons
that it would raise the price per
month on q cook-stove. where it
was used for heating purposes.
also, from SIPS to So. 1t has begun to do
80. Users of it's gas are asked questions
similar to these: DO you turn off gas when
lone cookingi Do yon leave the doors all
through the house openf Have you any
other stove in the h0usef If answers are
satisfactory then q bill at the old rate is
presented, but If NOT one at 81 is handed
In. Many people are feeling indignant
about it. Some of them cannot afford to
pay the raise. and those who can feel that
it Is an injustice to do so. Harry Hutchins,
of 40 Drake street. is among the latter. and
he proposes to brirR suit against the com
pany to see if be can be compelled to pay
it. w. p. Fishbackf has been retained as
attorney and proceedings will be begun IN
