WAS WOKE UP"
Indiana's Attorney-General Complains
to the Health Beard of Bad Smells.

Attorney-general Green Smith has writ
ten a letter to the City Board of Health.
AS usual. the epistle is solely in the in
terest of the Attorney-general. On this
occasion, however. Mr.. Smith is not In
curing after a fee. RE merely asks that
the Kingan packing house be moved away.
1t appears that the peculiar aroma some
times waited over the city from the VI
cinity of the packing house is distasteIui
to Mr.. Smith. In his remarks to the Board
of Health he complains bitterly of the
nauseating odors that permeate his room
at the Grand Hotel, and announces his be-
lief that these odors emanate from Kin
gan's. Mr.. Smith further says that the
annoyance has been uncomfortable, but
modestly supplements his remarks with the
statement that he does not like TO inter-
fere with the operations of the packing
house. He says further that he has 'suf-
fered from the effects OF ttAs on several
occasions by being woke up" etc. 1t Is a
good thing to know that the legal adviser
of the Great State of Indiana is occa-
sionally woke up by something besides
fees. At the close of his very singular
letter, the Acknowledgements breathes the
appalling threat that unless the nuisance
is abated he must withdraw his patronage
from the Hotel. The Board of Health was
III etNot
the Attorney-generaIs letter, and the sec
rotary announced that a meeting would
be called for Monday to consider the COM
plant.
At the Grand Hotel last night there was
no perceptible odor, nor was there an in
dication that the house would suspend be-
cause of Mr.. Smiths alarming declaration.
The management however, Is distraught,
and ii has already been suggested that the
roof of the hosiery be converted into a
flower garden and that Mr.. Smith be given
quarters In the midst of rare exotics.
The effect of Mr.. Smiths correspondence
with the city Board of Health has not as
yet had that terrifying effect upon the firm
Of Kingan & Co. which might be xe-
pected. 1t may be announced with perfect
accuracy that the establishment will con-
tinue in it's particular line of business. The
attorney, in an interview, is quoted as say
ing that 1.-THE stencil has an unmistakable
odor about 1t that brands it's origin" That
the gentleman has a keen appreciation fer
anything of a 'hoggish'' nature those who
know him do not deny. 1t Is certainly to
be lamented that Kinyan & CO.. cannot
substitute a department. of horticulture for
the vulgar industry of packing pork. To
those who are familiar with the Attorney
generals rank custom Of collecting fees
it is surprising that he should allow him.
self to be disturbed by the slightly tainted
perfume that necessarily comes from a
packing house.

WILL GET THE CONCLAvE.
Indianapolis Pretty Certain to Enter
tain the Knights of Pythias in 1896.

Secretary Fortune, of the Commercial
Club, who was a member OF the committee
sent to Washington to extend an invitation
to the knights of Pythias to hold their
biennial conclave in this city in 1896. re-
turned home yesterday. He was very much
pleased with the way the committee was
treated and this ity's prospects for getting
the conclave. 1.-THE invitation he said,
twas extended formally on Wednesday,
and it was Immediately referred to a COM
mittee, which has the power of selection.
1 left yesterday Thursday morning, and
all Indlanians were confident that In
dianapolis would get the conclave. The
Knights throughout this State worked just
as earnestly for this city as those from
Indianapolis. When / left those in the race
besides this city were Boston, Denver,
Minneapolis and st. Louis. With the ex-
ception of Denver and St. Louis those from
the other competing cities conceded that
room to spare. The Washington papers
are claiming that the railroad records show
that 1900 people were brought into the
city. If this city is successful a much
larger crowd will be here for two reasons.
The first one is that Indianapolis is more
hours ride of at least 20 per cent. of the
members of the order. Washington is not
so easily accessible. The second reason is
that we nave already been assured by the
officials of the railroads that very low
rates, much lower than those granted for
anians had the largest representation and
made a greater sho wing than any other
State. i am confident that Indiana COM
panies will get several drill prizes"

INCOME TAX IN INDIANAPOLIS.
No Official Instructions Yet Received at
Revenue Office.

Revenue Collector Ryan has received no
official instructions concerning the collec-
ton of income tax. Many persons have
called at the revenue Office to ask regarding
the tax in the last week. The collector now
understands that the act taxes incomes of
over $4,000. and provides that taxes shall
be paid on the incomes for the year 1894.
Returns are to be made through the inter
nal revenue Office on and after Jan. 1. After
July l the tax will be delinquent. AS the
new law is understood now it provides for
a tax of 2 per cent. on all incomes over
$4,000. The number of persons in this city
who will come under the scope of the law
Collector Ryan estimates all the way from
two hundred TO one thousand.

HARD TO GET MONEY.
Democratic Nominees Don't Want to
Contribute-Arranging Meetings..

The call OF Chairman Taggart, of the
Democratic State committee for a meet
ing in this city yesterday was responded
TO by a majority of the members, and a
conference was held at the Grand Hotel.
The purpose of the meeting was to map
out a line of action for the campaign. The
committee had not held a meeting since
the convention, and the chairman was be-
ginning to get a little solicitous. He said 1t
was simply an informal meeting of the
ommitte and candidates. and was for no
particular purpose. Among the things that
came up was the question of the joint de-
bates to be had in each Of the congressional
districts between w. ID. oven and W.. r.
Myers. Under the agreement for these dis
cussions it was provided that each Of the
committeeman should be permitted to des-
ignate the place OF one-half of the meet
ings. Chairman Taggart says every county
in the State Is anxious to have the debate
held at it's county seat, and he desired to
have the recommendations OF the district
committeeman in designating the places for
the debates. The money question was also
brought up at yesterdays meeting. and
proved, as anticipated, a very troublesome
problem. The committee is in dire need of
money, and in much larger sums than in
previous campaigns. This is a year when Ii
will take lots OF 1t TO work up Democratic
the candidates do not feel like putting up
hard-earned wealth for the empty honor of
a place on the ticket All of them think
the assessments this year should be much
lighter than heretofore. The money ques-
ton is one that the committee will not be
able to settle without a great deal OF diff
Guilty.
Chairman Taggart says the committee
is preparing for an active campaign A
number of prominent speakers from out
side the State will speak at different
points in Indiana during the campaign.
Sept % was fixed as Democratic day. On
that day the Democrats will hold political
meetings in every county seat IN the
State. at which speeches will be made,
either by local orators or those imported
for the occasion. During the campaign
there will be meetings in every precinct
- the state. for which some sort of an
orator will be provided. With few exceD-
lions the candidates left all OF their as

telegram from Springfield, o., asking him
to arrest Maxwell, which was done. The
telegram did not say what Maxwell was
wanted for. He said he was a fakir follow

partner at Springfield, and presumed IL was
the latter who caused his arrest. though he
did not know what for. No further infor-
nation being received from Springfield,
Maxwell was released last night.

The GOVERNORS salary.


We wish it understood that we will
support no man for governor unless he
will pledge himself to the people before
the election that he will accept 81 500 as
the full amount of his salary. We have
had governor for the last eight years
who has continually posed as reformer,
the taxpayers friend and the farmers
and workingmen's right bower, who has
at the same time been drawing more
than double the amount that our consti-
tuition says shall be the governors salary.
The only excuse given for this is that he
does extra work. How he can call that
extra work which our constitution pres
cribes as the duties of the governor, is
more than we are able to understand.
If the governor of our state for the sake
of few extra dollars drawn from our
treasury, can knowingly violate the ex-
press provisions of our constitution, why
cannot any citizen of our state commit
any other crime prohibited by law with
equal impunity?
The constitution of our state says in
plain English, in speaking of the salary
of the governor and other state officers
'sThey shall receive no fees or perquis-
tiles whatever for the performance OF
any duties connected with their respec-
tive Offices. Arlington Record.

THE DAMAGE SERIOUS
Explosion in a Fort Disheartened the

GOVERNMENT FLEET SAIL NORTH
Guarding the Condemned Anarchist

Sacramento.
GOVERNMENT FLEET SAIL NORTH

Rio JANEIRo, Jan. 1.-THE explosions
in the rebel fort Villegagnon and on
board the rebel warship Tamandare are
more serious than at first stated. The
explosion in the fort is variously re-
ported as of gun and of the magazine
Fifteen soldiers were killed and the fort
badly damaged. The explosion of the
gun on the Tamandare killed six marines
and wounded eight. The rebels are re-
ported much disheartened by these acci-
dents, and Peixoto's adherents are en-
couraged. The rumor that an agent of
Peixoto caused the explosion in the fort
is denied by the rebels. The reported
refusal of the Nichtheroy' screw to sail is
not due to non payment of wages, but
they demand payment in advance. The
government denies this. 1t says the
Nictheroy, America, Aurora and other
vessels at Pernambuco will sail south as
soon as the entire feet is gathered there.
It is likewise asserted and contradicted
that the rebels contemplate attacking
the government feet and then Rio itself.
Peixoto is confident of his ability to sue
cessfully defend the city.
