Monon Employer Petition.
Employees OF the Monon to the number OF
f12 have signed petition asking the Leg
islature to refuse to pass the two-cent-a-
mile rate bill of Mr.. McCaskey's. believing
1t would mean reduced wages TO the EN-
ployes. A comSEttee of the employees con-
sisting of Simeon Stephens, J. b. Condor
and r. III. Strong are in the city to present
the matter to the Legislature in behalf of
these employees The members of the me-
chanical department will have representa-
tives in the city next week with petition
from the men in that department. The fol-
lowing Is the petition which the employees
are signing:
THE undersigned employees of the Louis
vile, New Albany & Chicago Railway Com
pany, most respectfully and earnestly Pc
titicn your honorable body that no law be
passed reducing the present rates on pas
senger traffic, on the grounds,
First, Because we believe that the mat
ter of fixing such rates by arbitrary law will
have the effect to cripple the weaker roads
and strengthen the strong ones.
Second, because competition VIII IN our
Judgment always fix the lowest practical
rate on such business, and,
Third, Because reduction of such rates
at this time will result in most cases in a
reduction of the employees wages and thus
a hardship will fall on the class who needs
the protection of your honorable body.
Adams's Free Textbook Bill.
Mr.. Adams, of Parke, will to-day intro
duce in the House his free textbook bill.
This will provide for the furnishing OF free
textbooks to all pupils in the public schools
of the State, and allows the school boards
and school trustees in cities to select their
own books. In the country districts the
township officers are to select the books,
upon approval Of the State Board of Edu-
cation. The State board is TO nave COM
plete set Of schoolbooks offered for sale
to the public schools of the State or file and
the publishers are required to file a sworn
statement showing that the price at which
they offer the books is the lowest in the
United States. The present contracts with
the Indiana Schoolbook Company are not
nterfered with. but provision is made in
the bill to prevent Democratic township
trustees from overlooking the State with
these books in the event the bill promises
to become a law. Where pupil destroys
a book and refuses to replace it he is
barred from the further benefits of the act
until the value of the book is made good.

deserted buildings, and in one short mo-
ment licked up every trace of mans
han9iwork. On and on. mile after mile
of dry prairie Slipping back from their
swift beating hoofs. sped the fleeing band.
Anxious faces turned now and then to
see If they kept their start from their
evil pursucr. 1t was Carmen. covering

Only two miles!-but the pace was tell
ing. The work-weary and laden ponies
We're already list.lnced by the flying herd.
Old General, with his double burden, still
kept his place in the van, but Jake could
feel he was weakening.
Nearer and even nearer swept the de-
stroying element. Slower and slower
seemed to move the painting and straining
horses.
A ile-a half mil --now but quarter

was pressing them closely; the singing
smoke blinded men and horses; their

In one last, despairing glance back

upon them; his brave beast still staggered
forward. but ut that pace nothing could
save them. Garments face was buried
on his shoulder.
AT least we die togcther!'
a wild scream rang through the pail
of grass smoke. Old Tom on the river
bank heard it-"Adios, caro- MIC, one
alone may he saved!'
The clinsing arms relaxed: relieved of
the womans weight, the horse sprang
forward.
For Il second her figure stood haloei,
as her hair and light garments blazed up
ward; then the swirling pillows shut out
the terrible picture.
Jake Ringer covered his eyes and fell
forward on Generals back. He did not
know that his hair was singed and his
clothes already smollering, as his horse:
plunged into the Brazos. He did not
know that his comrades lifted him gently
up the opposite bank as the fire swept
to the waters edge and died into sudden
darkness. But when he came back to

The woods fulfilled with sun and shade?
The fountains that We're musical

Your room with scents and roses gay?

That whispered they We're fairest seen
Through no cloud veil? Remember. love,
Do you remember, love Christine?

Speaking of the white fly, DIR. r. C.
Paisley Of Pennington, Marion county,
says: 1.-THE white fly is unhurt. The
freeze did not exterminate the delicate
little pests. They live and thrive on
other trees aside from the orange and jes-
samine. The cold might have destroyed
the egg, but they are 80 nicely enveloped
in their strong and protected nests that
neither rain nor air can penetrate and
freeze them. '-FlOrida Times Union.
