Conclusion.

In conclusion beg to remind you, gentle
men, that this session Of tho LEGISLATURE, by
reason OF the fourth Tuesday falling 30 near
the erd Of the month, will be shorter 6y
Christmas In accordance with the unwritten
law. No session Of the General Assembly in
the history OF the State has ever had 10 deal
with more important and vital questions. 10
Circuit Judges and one Justice of the Supreme
Court My experience and judgment have
shown me. that when important elections are
pending the public business Is neglecteo ana
partisans Of this, candidate or that, and pay.
Ing no heed 10 matters OF legislation.
therefore urge sou TO appIint day NOT
later than Monday. the 4th OF December, Tor
legislative business. The new Criminal and
Civil Code has to be passed on; the Dltpen-
sary law must be amended and perlected; q
Wise and judlciLus Bill reducing salaries, not
the haphazard Act now ON its passage, nnould
be passed; new system Of County govern-
ment, simplifying aud afordin: greater
measure OF local control than now exists, Ii

sembly will in measure confess its imoe-
cility Ii IL fails TO provide auch q law. You
should overturn that edince OF wrong and
oppression erected by ,he United Staes Court

these important measures are enough ana

EFFECTIVE PROHIBITION.
westfeId's Novel Way OF Keeping
Out n saloon.

NOBLESVILLE, Oct. 17.-Special.-
The attempt of two Broad Ripple men
to open saloon in Westfield has proved
utter failure Uutil yesterday they
openly declared that they intended to
carry out their purpose and the good
people of that Quaker hamlet seemed
equally as determined on the other side.
Several public meetings Of temperance
workers We're held in the methodist
church and the men and their mission
denounced in the most scathing OF
terms. Finally the citizens secured a
cinch on the whisky dealers. Yester-
day they were arrested on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons and fined
heavily in Squire Hutchenson's court
The court then offered to remit the fines
If the defendants would give bond TO the
effect that they would not open a sa-
loon there. One of the men took advan-
tage of this offer and skipped the town,
while the second party was lodged In
the Noblesville jail to lay out his fine.
The citizens Of Westfleld are determined
that no saloon shall be opened in their
quiet little town.

LOGANSPORT, Oct. 20.-SpeciaL-The
town of Walton, ten miles south Of this
city, is greatly excited over the murder
of J. Oscar Walton by Mrs. Augusta
Schmidt. y
Walton had called upon Mrs. Schmidt
at her farm, three miles from town,
asking her to vacate the farm, as he
had obtained lease of the same
Mrs. Schmidt claims that he threat
ened her with violence If she failed to
give up the place, when she went into
another room, got a revolver and re-
turning, shot Walton through the head.
The wound has been pronounced fatal
and Mrs Schmidt gave herself up and
was brought to Iogansport tonight and
lodged in Jail.
Walton was only about thirty-two
years old and unmarried. Mrs Schmidt
is past fifty years old and is one Of the
claimants for the celebrated Hooper es-
tate at Kokomo.
Another report of the crime says that
Mrs. Schmidt rented her farm to her
victim and was to have given possession
of the house last March, but failed to do
so. Finally she and her husband va
Gated a part of the house and Walton,
together with his father and mother,
moved in and repeated his demands for
complete possession, which resulted in
frequent disputes.
This morning, Walton again pressed
his claims for Possession somewhat Wig
orously and Mrs. Schmidt, in the heat
of passion, produced a revolver and
fired the fatal shot.
KOKOMO. Oct. -Special.-Augusta
Schmidt, the woman who shot J. Oscar
Walton to death near the village of
Walton, in Cass county, this morning,
was the principal claimant in the Chris
tiana Hooper estate in this county, val
ued at 100000.
After a long litigation she secured the
bulk of the estate. She came from Ger
many ten years ago and acted as COM
panion of Christiana Hooper, her aunt
BY verbal bequest she was given much
of the personal property, beside her
share as one of the three direct heirs.
Like Mrs. Hooper she was woman
of strange temperament. and was re-
garded as rather eccentric character.
The choice Of a husband was made
for her by her patroness and they lived
unhappily together.
