WAsHINGToN, Ind. April o.-This has
been day of minor Importance in the
great arson case. Most of the evidence in.
troduced by the State was to corobrorate
the chief witnesses and this was done in o
most satisfactory manner to the attorneys
representing the State. The purchase of
revolvers and the fact of the close ass0cia-
tlons of the men previous TO the fire were
substantiated by dozen witnesses. The
crookedness Of the books of Lavel!e and
his false warrants and forged entries
were shown ND, and great deal
of circumstantial evidence was produced.
At noon court adjourned to meet again at
noon Monday. In the meantime the jury
will not be allowed to separate. and it has
been placed in charge of ex-Sherif Brum-
field. Sheriff Stilwell acknowledged hav-
ing taken private papers from the desk of
the States attorney and turned them over
TO the attorneys for the defense. He ex-
cuses himself on the ground that the papers
contained charges against him that had no
foundation In fact. Thoy were taken from
the defendant attorneys and restored to
the State, except q part. which were en-
trusted in the keeping of the Judge.

 Beautiful and fine as is the Congrega- tional church, it is not without it's draw backs, like everything of human origin, It is very warm, for one thing, especial ly in the evening when the many gas lights gleam so brightly. The gas has leaked badly, also and it is found that the church is not large enough. All the seats have been sold, except a few re. served for colored people, but there is a demand for more. It does not follow that every seat is occupied on Sunday for many pews are bid off by those who are here for only part of the year.

LONG HILL.

The final meeting of the joint commit tee of arrangements on the recent flag raising in Long Hill was held in the school house, Monday evening. The thing was finished up in the same thor Ough manner that has characterized the whole procedure. The small sum neces- sary to balance accounts was promptly provided and everything is paid in full. A vote of thanks was unanimously ten- dered Manager Harris of the Parlor Rock grounds for kindly allowing the use, free of cost, of the crockery and fix lures necessary for the occasion. Also to all those who labored SO assiduously to make the affair success, particularly including the ladies and distinctly ''the five prettiest young ladies in the vil- lage," who so successfully discharged the duties of ''soliciting committee.''
 Rumor has it that active preparations are going on for pole and flag raising in our sister village, Nichols, an inspira- tion, doubtless, of the recent demonstra- tion in Long Hill. Success to the enter prise. Nichols is very pleasant, nicely located village and it's people circum- spect and worthy.

 The weather is about right for paint ing, the outside of your house is thor oughly dry and there will be little chance for cracking or peeling. Wat CT in the wood you paint, or water in the paint you use, has to get out in some way, hence the peeling.
