]. A. Griffin. LIS Clinton street. came to
grief last night at the Tuxedo saloon. Grif-
fin went into the saloon. where there were
several men. n began to sing and in other
ways to give vent to his feelings. This an
noyed the men who were standing there.
and they asked him to stop. but he refused
and was ordered out of the place. As he
left the saloon he showered vile names upon
those who had objected to his song. and
especially upon Harry DIN. better known
as Red" DIN. of football fame. Olin fol-
lowed him from the place and upon the out
side struck him, knocking him down. When
Griffin got up the. blood was streaming from
his head. where he claimed Olin had hit
him with a pair of knucks. but those who
saw the difficulty say that Olin had nothing
in his hand when he struck Griffin and that
the cut in his head must have been made
when falling. Griffin went 10 the City Dis
pensary. where his head was sewed up.
The police are looking for Olin.

THIRD R ROBBERY.
The Houses ut Nos. II and % En-.
tered Yesterday.

Report came to the police last night that
the house OF f. L. Thomas. 20 West Third
street. had been entered and burglarized.
Detective Kinney was detailed to investi-
gate the case. He learned that a gentle
mans gold watch had been taken. The
burglary had taken place in the afternoon
while all the family was away from home.
The robber had taken a slat of a shutter
in the rear of the house and had entered
through the window 1t was evident that
whoever entered the place was looking only
for money. as they had lifted some silver
ware and a gold bracelet from a drawer,
but had not taken the stuff. The house
entered is double and both sides were visit
ed. No. Il is occupied by Charles l.. Han
ford, a travelling man for Kipp Bros, and
as no one was at home il could not be
learned what was taken. but that the place
had been ransacked was apparent by the
way things were scattered around and the
empty condition of the drawers.

TO HAVE A CURFEW RING
CITIZENS OF WEST INDIANAPOLIS
A~GITATING The SUBJECT.
Annoyance Caused by Children on the
Streets-No New school Build
ing at Brightwood.

Some of the good citizens of West IN
d~ianapolis are agitating the passage of a
curfew law by the Council of that suburb
for the purpose of keeping children under
fifteen years of age off the streets after S
o'clock at night. 1t is true that children
of tender years can be seen playing in the
streets or p~romenading on the sidewalks Of
the suburb at a very late hour every night.
and the vocal ability of some Of the youn-
ger ones is very annoying to the people re-
siding In their immediate vicinity at such
times as they give vocal exhibitions. The
suburbs policemen also favor the curfew
law, as they would then be enabled TO make
the hardened young rufians who now loaf
on the street corners either go home or to
the station house.

The Big Four Picnic.

The picnic that was to have been given
on Aug. 5 by the employees of the Big Four
shops at Brightwood and Dillon street. has
been postponed until Aug. 16. Owing to
the great number of excursions now being
run by the Big Four Railroad Company.
1t was unable TO let the employees nave
sufficient coaches for the transportation
OF the picnickers on the date first fixed, and
this has caused the -postponement. The
picnic is to be held in Westside Park,
Muncie, where there is "A nice grove sup
piled with a dancing floor and race track,
and where boating can be INDUCED in. The
committees have secured donations from
the merchants of this city and of the sub
urb for the prizes to be given in the va
riouS contests. and no pains have been
spared to Ia the picnic a success.

forts-gentle efforts-pleasantefforts-
rightly directed There is comfort i'm
h knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxativo, Syrup of Figs. prompt

remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that ii Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chaser that you have the genuine arti-

No New school at Brightwood.

Some of the citizens of Brightwood are
talking up the building of a new school
building. as they say that the present build
ing, besides being old. will not
date the number of children who will at
tend school in that suburb during the COM
Ing term. Mr.. Bush. the president of the
School Board. says that they will not put
up a new building nor make any improve
ments this year, for there is not enough
money in the treasury for that purpose.
The board ~contemplates making improve
ments on the building next lear, at which
time they hope to be able to add an addi-
tional term on the high school course.

Not Paid by the Meeting.

The Brightwood citizens who are at pres
ent criticising the Town Board for meet
ing every week, when the city councils of
Indianapolis and West indianapolis and the
town boards of the other suburbs only meet
twice a month, on the plea that these nu-
merouS meetings cost the town at the rate
of 81 for every meeting, are wrong in their
preSumptions. When the present board
was organized the one-dollar rate a meet
ing that the members of the old board re-
ceived was done away with and the salary
of a trustee was fixed at $50 a year, regard
less of the number of meetings held or at
tended by a trustee.

ROM CITY, Ind, Aug. 1.-The NJ. E.
Church OF Angola ran an excursion TO
Rome City yesterday. bringing a very fine
delegation, who are prepared to enjoy the
lectures, enjoyments and recreations. Early
yesterday morning Dr. Prentiss. superfn-
tendent, received a telegram from General
l. n. Walker that the state Of his health
would not permit him to travel, so there
was general disappointment on the part
of the people who had come prepared to
hear him. but this was partially assuaged
by the presence of General Caylor and DR.
Jameson. OF Findlay, O.. General Caylor
had charge of the camp fire which took
the place of the lecture that was to have
been given by General Walker. The ad-
dress of welcome on the part of the as
sembly was made by Rev. Will T.. Crosse,
while Comrade Cooper responded in behalf
of the soldier boys. Following this were a
number of talks and short addresses. by old
soldiers. 1t has been many a year since as
much enthusiasm was manifested. Refer
ence to the golden day when Mckinley
would be President was loudly cheered, and
it wa not hard to tell the political COM
plexion of the audience. Rev. H. c. Jane
son has wor new laurels here and his ad-
dress was received with much favor. Blsh-
Oh Ninde lectured to-day and he and Or.
Jameson will preach tomorrow. Monday

Things That LiXAtcn Life Tor Hunters In

There is "a kind Of man who never
lacks camping companions he may be
rich or poor, big or little lie may be
SO weak as 10 be hardly able to carry
his rifle and never able 10 bring stick
Of wood for the campfire He wanted,
nevertheless. Tho campers call him the
joyial man, The one who never sullzs. but
always smiles. lie is cheerful when the
clouds weep and the campers are dismal
he laughs when he misses easy shots
He grins when the smoke gets into his
eyes and says that the nubs and sticks
in the camp bed are good, because they
give the sleeper plenty Of exercise.
The cheerful man is especially well
liked in a camp where the hunters have
had bad run Of luck If a week passes
and the woods have been 80 dry that the
deer or the turkeys couldn't be ap-
preached, then the cheerful man, as he
fries pork OF bacon for supper, laughs
and says that any way it's a good thing
for the game
When the weather ia gloomy and ey-
cry one has the blues, il is the cheerful
man who gets out and gathers big
heap Of wood, if he can, or, if he can't,
be has somebody else do ii, ans when
night comes big campfire is started
that cheers everybody up TO the story
telling point. which point indicates
cheerfulness.
Even small boys are welcome in a
veterans camp when the place is
gloomy. Small boys make things inter
esting There are guns to drag around
and owners to say things There is a
food supply to pick at and fire to med
die with pipes to break and tin dishes
to rattle. 1t doesn't take much to cheer
up a sad camp, if only the right visitor
comes along The arrival of q smiling
woman from another camp, one day
whom the rain poured, did that once up
on Moose river. She had rife over her
shoulder and three dripping partridges
in her hand. Her hunting suit was drip
ping wet, and her once curly bangs
hung down over her eyes. Every COM
planning man of the camp leaped to bis
feet, and great heap Of green birch
logs was soon cut and sizzling in the
fire. The gloom was dispelled like SO
much smoke In few minutes she was
standing near the fire steaming as her
clothes dried When she left, two hours
later, every one was as happy rs a cat
by a CRATE fire. New York Sun.
