Tie Dust on the snow.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal of this morning did not ac-
curately represent the views of the profess
sors CT Butler University in regard to the
nature and origin OF the material which
discolored our snow on Friday night. The
volcanic dust theory was not entertained
after the material had been properly ex-
amined. On the contrary, the occurrence IN
1t OF vegetable and animal remains clearly
shows that 1t has been derived from fields,
forests or plains through the agency of
winds. At another time something further
may be said on the subject.

twelve miles from Jeffersonville, yesterday.

a drug store at that place. He lives in
apartments in the rear of the establish

a great deal of time in the store.
The little girl was sick yesterday and her
brother played doctor" He administered
a deadly potion to the child. At that time
the children were alone, and shortly after
ward DR.. Bottorff found the girl in con-
vulsions. 1t was readily ascertained that
the child was suffering from the effects of
some drug, but the boy after replacing
the bottle in the prescription case was I'M
able to again find it. The father was thus
placed at a torturing disadvantage in not
knowing what emetic to administer at the
instant.
