It is pot true that repres sion is good for
the soul. 1t is only good for some souls,
and good for then, only under some con.
dttions. Even if they fail to perish under
il, you can never know how much sweeter,
foer, riper, they might have been under
different circumstances. The night ole ON
ing eeEe1s is the only flower absolutely in
jured by the sunshine; and, thoug h il
keeps its grace in the ark,-indeed, only
wins it in the dark, there are fewer to
appreciate and enjoy the grace so hardly
WOE. The soul under repression is like the
closed piano that you see in houses in tie
country; there is fine cloth over the
piano, and the dust is kept out, and there
are vases scattered ove- the closed top.

corporation has go far condescended to

the sugar they handle. A meeting with
closed doors was held by number of i'm

considering the ACCESSIBILITY of accepting

DANGER OF BLOODSHED.


Erecial 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Ind. April S.-This has
been an exciting day in the progress of the
Lavelle arson case. An attempt was made
this morning TO eject Charles g. Sefrit,
editor of the Washington Gazette. from
the courtroom on the plea that he had
furnished to his paper an impartial report
of the proceedings. and motion was made
to fine him for contempt of court. but no
action was taken. The article in question
was a statement to the effect that Ledger

able act until he was filled with whisky.

The attempt at intimidation has come from

that the defendants have come to this
courtroom armed with pistols. This may or
may not be true. but am not armed. and will
not be. Neither am afraid of the threats,
regardless of the fact that persons making
them are considered to be dangerous char

The attorneys for the defense denied that
they were armed, but 10 is said that seven
