CAUGHT ON THE FAR CROSSING.
Many Amusing Incidents Caused by
Change i'm Street-Car Rules.

The new order by which the street cars
began yesterday to make stops at the near,
instead of the far crossings, was respon-
sfble for a great deal of confusion. 1t
seemed impossible for the patrons OF the
lines to adjust themselves to the new order
of things. For the most part the motor
men and conductors were patient and would
stop and wait for persons standing on the
wrong crossing TO come over TO the other
one. The car on the Alabama-street line
that carries most of the morning church
crowd was nearly an hour getting down TO
Vermont street. At Seventh street there
were three young ladies. an old gentleman
and his wife. two men and a dude, all
standing on the wrong crossing.
Come over here called the motorman.
as he brought his car to a halt on the near
crossing
AT Sixth street a portly gentleman, wear
ing a silk hat, stood on the far crossing.
The car stopped as at Seventh street, and
the motorman gave the man an invitation
to come. But the man declined, remark
ing that he knew what he was doing, and
the next second the car passed him by.
Those on the rear platform could hear him
muttering and using language unbecoming
so beautiful a Sabbath day, as he shook
his fist at the conductor, vowing TO report
him TO the manager. At Home avenue a
man and MS vile ana three children stood
on the near crossing. according to rules.
The car stopped and the man helped his
wife and children on, with the air of a
man thai knows what he Is doing. He even
smiled an exultant smile at his neighbor.

A woman'~ Strange disappearance.

The police have been asked to assist in
the search for Mrs. j. NJ. Van Gorden and
her seven-year-old daughter, of East Lib

March she left her home for a visit in
Illinois. After spending a few weeks in
Illinois she went TO Oxford. Ind, and
stayed a few days. She then started home
and got as far as Lafayette, where all
trace of her movements was lost. Her
husband has been searching for her since
April 3. a few days after she disappeared
He has visited all the principal cities in
several States and has found no tangible

IT WILL SINK WELLS
BRIGBTwOoD's PROBABLE METHOD
OF SECURING WATER WORKS.
Question 90 He Settled This Week
Healthy Condition of Hogs Killed
I'm This City.

A proposition of the indianapolis water
works to supply Brightwood with water
was published in the Journal a few days
ago. but as yet that suburb has not ac-
cepted 1t and the question of supplying the
town with water has taken on another
shape. Some years ago r. r.. Rouse drove
a number OF wells at Brightwood but was
unable to find a sufficient supply of water
for the shops. roundhouse and locomotives
of the Big -Four company and the supply
has been meager under the most favorable
conditions. Recently General superintendent
Van Wrinkle decided TO make one more at
tempt at B~rightwood TO get soft water
and enough of IL and a well was sunk log
Feet deerer than any other well and ex-
cellent water and apparently an abundance
of it has been found. Now the citizens of
Brightwood want to put in a plant and
sink a well to a depth which will furnish
with water the town. its manufactor-
les and the Big Four shops. The
own has proposed TO do so if the
Big Four will give 500 a month for
furnishing the water the company re-
quires. The citizens committee seems very
confident that in this manner they can
get their water, and it is claimed OF bet
ter quality, cheaper than by accepting the
proposition of the Indianapolis Water Works
Company. The question will probably be
settled this week

IndianapoH. Hog. Healthy.

Lafayette Fletcher, a veteran packer of
this State, says that in his long experience
In business he has never known the hogs
brought to this market to be as healthy
and average so well in weight as this year.
He says there are no signs Of cholera or
any other disease among the hogs offered
on this market. Most of those slaughtered
here are gathered up in Illinois and Indiana
and If there are any sickly hogs slaughtered
anywhere, and he thought there were but
very few, they come from Nebraska or
some other far Western State. Last week
the three large packing houses killed more
hogs than in any week this year and in fact
more than in any week in 1899.

The Trust Perfected.

The great combination of all wheel man.
ufacturers west of the mountains has been
perfected under the title of the Commercial
Wheel Company, the contract to be binding
on all for five years. Every wheel they
manufacture is to be sold through one
agency. It IS expected that the price Of
wheels will now be considerably advanced.
Business men are of the opinion that the
combination will not be long lived. Should
it be. other parties are considering the man

It was at this conference that DR.. Jen-
ME found opportunity to do a great deal Of
dental work. In fact, she went out as a
missionary among missionaries, and her
presence among them has been hailed with
joy, as many of the latter have not visited
their homes in this country since they left
for Africa ten years ago and more. The
need of a dentist among them has long
been felt, and Bishop Taylor has for two
or three years been trying to find a dentist
who would go out as a missionary. DR..
Jennie Taylor had been studying previously

dentist was needed at this time more than

little available land toward Dia-
mond Head and as time passes
steps must be taken toward bet
ter facilities for reaching points
beyond it. It is possible that a
good road around the head
would be in the line of public
improvements, and, if the land
in that locality is owned by the
government, an increased trea-
sury balance would be the re-
suit. If there were more lots
along the beach more people
would live there and improve
them. Every dollar of improve
ments means so much for the
government by way Of taxa

an inducement for it to extend
roads wherever it is possible.
