work that night at the Journal Office. He
remained but a short time, wren he was
compelled to return to his home, where he
died a few hours later. Mrs. Doriand, in
her conversation with a Journal reporter
last night, claimed she had treated Mr..
Koeppen two years ago and did him much
good. DR.. Fletcher also remembered the
time when she had treated him. DR..
Fletcher had been treating him for some
time before he consulted Mrs. Dorland. The
treatment of DR.. Fletcher coming imr1edi-
ately prior to hat of the Christian Scien-
tiSr. Mr.. Koeppen was led to believe that
the good resulting from the physicians
treatment was the result of that by the sci
enlist. DR.. Fletcher said he found the lungs
very much clogged from the fever. and
Mr.. Koeppen's going out In the cold air
on Sunday night resulted in the further
clogging Of the lungs, so that 1t was I'M
possible for him to breathe.
Mr.. Koeppen came to this country from
Germany twenty-eight years ago He re-
manned for about eight months in New
York. and then removed to LaPorte coun-
ty, where his father now resides. He was
employed on a railroad in LaPorte county
this city. For nearly a quarter of a GEN.
fury he has been employed by the Journal
as mailing clerk. During this time he left
it's employ for a very short time TO engage
in business for himself, but soon gave this
up and returned to the paper. He had the
full confidence of his employer by reason of
his faithfulness to his DUTY. He was thor
with his work that he seldom had to con-
suit his mailing lists. He never made a
mistake. ~Punctuality was almost a virtue
with him. The funeral will be held Thurs
day afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from the Zion
Evangelical Church, on Ohio street.

BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Louis HEM Robbed of His Afternoon
Collections by Three Men.

Louis HEM, a driver for Jacob Metzger
& Co., relates a peculiar story Of having
been held up and robbed of $17.S in broad
daylight yesterday afternoon on the Mich
igan road, a short distance north of Fall
creek. Early in the afternoon he was de-
tailed to collect some bills in North Indian
apolis, and was given a spirited horse n
a vehicle. He first went to Thompson's
road house, where he collected s1L.S5. Hem
states that when the money was being
counted out three men unknown to him
gathered around him and eyed the cur
rency eagerly. After leaving Thompson's
he went to two other saloons in the west
ern part of North Indianapolis, collecting So
at each place. 1t was about 8 o'clock when
he started citywards. He says that as he
was passing a cornfield on the east side
of the road he met the three men who had
acted so suspiciously at the road house.
They jumped on the vehicle and did not
heed Henn's orders to get off. Instead, ona
of the three, a roughly-dreSSed fellow,
caught him 10y the collar n jerked him
w off the seat onto the wagon bed.
his companions searched the helpless mans
pockets. taking the a7.S. the collections of
the afternoon The three h-ighwaymen dis
played no weapons but told Hem to take
the reins and drive rapidly away. They
then jumped off the vehicle and ran through
a cornfield and escaped. HEM went imme-
diately to his firms office on Maryland
street and reported the affair. The police
were then in turn notified.

A TRIBUTE TO MIR. JOYCE.
u. Z. Adams's Address Before Eighth
Ward Iinc0In Learna

I1CdEues
The Eighth Ward Lincoln League gave
a reception to the candidates on the county
and township tickets last night The re-
ception was given in Lefever's Hall. on
Rural street. and the room was crowded.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one. and
all of the speakers were applauded. J.. c.
Adams was the principal speaker. He said
the only thing to talk about during this
campaign was the empty flour barrels of
the unemployed workingmen. He referred
10 statesman Bynum. who he said had been
unable to get the much needed new federal
building, and had not even succeeded in get
ting an appropriation to pay the govern
ments share of the cost of improving Cliff
Ioru avenue. The people and Board of
works were ready for the improvement but
Mr.. Bynum was unable to get the money
appropriated by the government. He also
spoke or the general depression resulting
probably felt in the neighborhood of the
nall wherein he was speaking as heavily as
any otner locality. A large number of the
residents of that neighborhood are work
ingmen and had secured homes through the
aid or building associations. The general
nard times had made it very difficult, and
oI1en impossible, for them TO keep up their
dues In the associations through which thew
secured their homes. Mr.. Adams concluded
with a touching tribute TO a. j. Joyce.
Among other things he said:

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FAILED HIM.
Death of John Koeppen. for Twenty-Five
Years the Journals Mailing Clerk.

John Koeppen died az his home, No. ia
Church street, at an early hour yesterday
morning. from lung fever. He was fifty
three years of age and leaves a widow and
several married children. He had been i'll
but a few days, and had not been confined
to his bed save for a few hours before his
death. For several years he has been af-
hicted with asthma. which, complicated
with the lung fever, resulted in his death.
Last Thursday was the first day he failed
to appear for his work at the Journal, but
even then he did not go to bed, and neither
he nor his family considered his condition
at all dangerous. On Thursday he con-
suited Mrs. Anna Dorland. a Christian sci
enlist. at No. 19 North Pennsylvania street.
A few years ago Mr.. Koeppen was a be-
lever in the teachings Of the Christian
Scientists and went to Mrs. Dorland for
treatment. She said last night that Thurs
day was the first time she had seen Mr..
Koeppen for about two years. and when he
came TO her for treatment she told him her
treatment would do him no good. for the
reason that he had not lived according to
the teaching of the Scientists. In other
words. he had not lived the perfect life re-
auired by them. She says Mr.. Koeppen
called again Friday. He talked with her.
told her he intended going home and read
ing his Christian science books. From that
time he was going to live as q true and
loyal Scientist. He said he would return
to her house on Sunday, but did not come.
Mrs. Dorland says she did not treat him
during his last illness, but il was evident
from the remark made by him 10 her on
Friday that her statement to him the day
before had had the effect of reviving in
him the belief in Christian science teach
ings. He kept 10 his purpose of taking the
Christian science treatment and refused TO
consult a physician till Sunday afternoon.
Then DR.. c. l.. Fletcher was called in. He
told Mr.. koeppen that he had lung fever,
which the latter refused 10 believe. Mr..
koeppen claimed at that time he had no
trouble and that he intended returning 10
work that night. He was advised by his
physician that such an act would probably
result fatally. True 10 his word and faith in
Christian science. Mr.. koeppen CANA to

Owing to the many complaints that
have been made against the introduc-

Project of Gard has been instructed by
the minister Of the interior to issue
an order forbidding throughout the

this order is very great. The mayor
has addressed a long letter Of protest

moned to protestant z! public meeting
was held, to which all the senators and
deputies of the department were in
vited to be present, and they were call

A Gentle SuRerer.

Gilbert White or Thoreau would not
have described the incident told in the
accompanying sketch in more simple
and natural words. A widowed moth
er and daughter occupy and carry on
a farm of 325 acres in Sullivan coun.
ty, n. Y. They own herd of beau
tiful Jersey cows. The daughter writes
relative prettily and path etically of
one of them.
ION Sunday last one of our four-year
old cows broke her left fore-leg; so
her milk has been loss since then;
and it's only a chance that we can
save her. Evans "a farm hand brought
her on a stoneboat down the hill to
the back meadow of the house. and
there she lies bandaged and splinted.
Evans bathes her leg and cares for
her man fashion. and spend great
deal Of my time coddling her, tempting
her appetite with split sweet apples
covered with feed, cornstalks dipped
in water, Gor she doesn't seem to
drink and doing things generally to
keep up her strength, so that the bone
can knit and the wound heal. She is
! lovely! just like deer, so gentle and
grateful. Thus far all the men say
,, she is doing well, and they think she
will pull through, but we feel it and
fear it.
II wish you could hear her moo
as I sit here on the piazza writing.
Such sweet, gentle complaint; with
no note Of ugly bawl about it. At
first she stood up, but now she finds
it more comfortable lying down.

with their purple wealth festooned
both cabins, and seemed striving to
hide aught about them that was ugly.
A dark brown woman, slenderly built,
stood at the door of one of the cabins,
carefully sweeping down the steps over
which her little grandchild had scat
tered the beans and bits Of broken
china with which he had been playing,

self:

The words came in quavering tones
from the throat of an old man in the
neighboring cabin. He had thrust his
head through the open window Of his
little house, and his poor old black
face, framed in it's gray wool, bore
marks Of alarm and dire distress. my

The Difference.

1t is matter of surprise to many,
and perhaps it may be to themselves,
that there are hundreds keeping fowls
who realize large profits on their stock
annually, while at the same time there
are others who have just as good fowls
that do not make them pay for their
keeping. There is something in the
breed, some will say; some thing in luck,
will be remarked by others. But though
granting that popular breed may help
to make favorable sales, it is more in
the way we feed, care for, and manage
live stock to bring out all it good quail
ties and turn it to profitable account
One may have the best known breed
of poultry to begin with, and yet fail to
make it remunerative. It should be the
object of every breeder to make his
stock, at least self supporting, if he
cares nothing about profit. The one
who neglects to take proper care of his
fowls when they need food, comfort
able quarters, and other attention, will
realize only scant returns from them.
The careless breeder will allow his hens
to shift for themselves, and will be-
grudingly put up few boards for shell
ter when winter sets in; half starved
and famished from cold, they linger
through the long winter without laying
or putting on flesh, and when spring
comes they are in no condition for lay
ing or breeding.
To make fowls profitable one must
keep them in a common sense way:
that is, they should have plenty of food
in variety; their winter quarters warm,
comfortable and clean; means of dust
ing regularly, and enough space and
loose material for exercise and scratch
ing. Added to this, fresh water to
drink, sharp grit and egg-shen matter.
These are prime necessities and consti-
tute the main wants for generous lay
ing or putting on fesh.-National Stock.
