Thief at the Grand.

William May. believed by the Police 10 be
hotel thief, was captured by porsers at the
Grand Hotel yesterday morning. They held
him until detectives Stout, Kaehn and Nc
Cuff arrived and took him in custody. May

son House day or two before the Republic
an State convention. and as he was believed
to be there for the purpose of robbiIz some
of the numerous candidates and their friends,
he was ordered away. A good description

hotel men TO be on the loohort. Yesterday

NO MORE ONE DAY CONVENTIONS.
The Mistake of Two Years Ago En-
phasized Again Thursday.

A fair sprinkling of the big convention
crowd fingered about the Denison House
yesterday, talking over "how it was DONE
and exchanging fareWells. The venerable
Colonel Thompson was the center of an adj
miring group, whom he was entertaining
with "reminiscences of past political gather
ings. Possibly 1 shall be at the next one
we have" said he. 81 certainly shall if
live, and / have no intention of committing
suicide. told Mckinley at Minneapolis that
1 would meet him at the next national con-
vention, and 1 believe 1 will write to him
and remind him of the appointment"
Frank b. Posey, Warren G. Sayre, Charles
E. Everett and VIII Cumback were about
the lobby thanking their friends for the eff
forts made in their behalf. They seemed to
take defeat gracefully and were not wor-
rying bit. You see none of us had really
set our heart Oh the thing" said Mr.. Sayre.
Eleven or us had 10 be lost in the crush.
anu eaen knew that If he had to go down he
was sure OF plenty OF good company"
Mr.. Mount will make remarkably
strong candidate" said Mr.. Posey. He is a
man of strong intellectually and combines
q great many points Of availability and, fur
thermore, ne Will make a most creditable
Governor"
One point upon which there was very gen.
eral agreement was that two years hence,
The business of nominating judges of the
higher courts at or o'clock in the morn
ing, when hardly half the delegates are in
the hall and everybody is worn out, was real
lied TO be mistake two years ago, but no
great effort was made to change II this
year. The matter was not mentioned in
the committee on rules said George NJ.
Allen, OF Terre Haute, member OF this COM
mittee. 1T was our understanding that the
convention would adjourn at midnight, no
matter how far along its business might be.
Then this is always a matter for the con-
yention itself to decide and doubt If our
committee would have had any authority in
the matter"
Next time we have a convention" said
one of the delegates from Fort Wayne, Il
hope the committee will consult its calendar
and bear in mind the date of the municipal
elections. Two years ago 1t was fixed for a
week before these elections and took about
all the active Republicans of the State away
from their homes at a stage of the campaign
which, in any other year. might have been
critical. and this year 1t came just two days
after them. when we were all tired out 1t
has compelled US TO give up solid week to
politics and most of US have livelihood

CALLED ON GEN. HARRISON.
Mr.. Mount Pays His Respects-Always
for Sound Money.

for Sound Money.
James A. Mount, the fortunate victor in
Thursdays convention, called upon General
Harrison yesterday afternoon in company
with r. B. f. PIERCE, to pay his respects,
and chatted with the ex-President half an
hour. The next Governor was occupied
most of the day receiving callers in his
rooms at the hotel, and among them were
all his opponents of the day before, who
came to offer their personal congratulations
and assurances Of hearty support, not only
at thesDolls, but on the stump as we'll
Major Doxey, of Anderson, who returned
TO his home the night before, called upon
Mr.. Mount, in company with Mrs. Doxey,
before they left. He rendered his earnest
congratulations and assured him that he
was well pleased with the outcome and
knew Of no other man to whom he would
had been seeking.
II think l was fortunate" said Mr.
Mount. in speaking of these calls last even
ing, in having aroused so little antago-
nism in my canvass that all my opponents
seem well satisfied that l should have been
CHOSEN as a compromise candidate. / feel
that the friendly spirit they have shown Is
not by any means perfunctory. but Is real
sentiment
He expressed great pleasure that the plat
form was what it Is, without demanding
any change in the law governing the State
benevolent institutions. 1.-The system
adopted by the last Legislature" said he
should be given a fair test. With the ad-
dition OF the merit system, which it was the
intention of the Legislature to put into law
II Ii had got around to 1t, ii will prob
ably prove all right. / have always be-
lfeved in divorcing these institutions from
politics as far as possible, and believe
that with conscientious effort 1t can be
done under this system There are honest
men and women enough in Indiana to prop
erly conduct these institutions, and / be-
lieve the people of the State will support
an honest effort to have them conducted
for the benefit of their inmates and the pub
lic."
AS long ago as 1892 Mr. Mount was ar
earnest advocate of sound money and made
several speeches on that line at this time
when the question was not considered one
OF such vital Importance as 1t is now, and
at a time when those who expressed views
OF the subject became the molders of opin-
ron for those who came to study the ques-
ton at a later date. He held joint dis
cussion of the financial question at Glen
dale, Daviess county, with Moses Hull, a
same as that defined in the platform
adopted by Thursdays convention.
L have always talked sound money to
farmers on al occasions where / found ii
appropriate" said he. II believe it Is the
only system Of finance for the business in
terests OF the country to demand. / have
discovered that there is among the farmers
a sentiment for free coinage. The farmers
make the mistake of believing that free
circulating medium, will tend to increase
prices, and they are for anything which will
enable them 10 get more money for their
products"

She WINS Ninety-Two Years Old.

AS the reporter for the News made his
rounds of the hotels in search of Sarah
Bernhardt news, he called on the Denison
House druggist for information on the sub
ject. but Mr. Haag was too busy TO talk to
reporters; he had his store crowded with
customers after his now famous liver pills.
His clerks were all busy and his time was
taken up listening to the profuse thanks
of an old lady, who said she was past
nlnety-two years of age, and that she had
thought her time TO leave this world had
come, as she could not digest her food, and
was suffering much with constipation and
bloating; that her daughter had bought
her box of these wonderful pills, and
they made new woman of her; that now
she could eat anything, and. although she
had been confined to her room for five years,
she now felt as we'll as she did when she
was fifty years old. and that she now took
her daily walks and felt like she had a
new lease on life. The old lady felt so
grateful TO Mr.. Haag, and was so profuse
in her thanks, that the reporter promised
to call some other time for an interview
on Mime. Bernhardt. Mr.. Haag made these
pills originally for his mother. a lady past
her seventy-fourth year, who had chronic
indigestion and constipation, and was COM
pletely cured by their use.

seven years of age. The other two children
are twins, aged twenty-four years. They are
Helen n. and Harry N. Mount. The latter
graduated with the highest honors from Wa
bash College In 1894, where he took the
Baldwin oratorical prize. He is now study
ing for the ministry at Princeton. Miss
Helen graduated from Coates College in 1895
and is now taking some postgraduate stud
les. The eldest daughter also has college
education.
Mr.. Mount Is man who has never aspired
to any other political position and has never
occupied any office within the party organ
ization. His only political Office was that Of
State Senator. TO which ne was elected in
1888 His name was ested early in the
canvass for available material and the party
leaders sought him and asked him 10 make
the race. He refused and also refused when
requested by the State comrrittee. How
ever. when the convention m,s. his name
was placed before il and he was nominated
In spite of himself. He realized that he
must enter the campaign and did so with
the same determination to succeed that has
marked his every undertaking. The district
had been carried by the Democrats previous
ly by large majoritles and IL did not look
very bright for Republican senatorial can
dldate.. Mr.. Aolnt, however. was elected by
6)0 majority.
His record In the Legislature is a brilliant
one. He strong advocate of the bin

mission. 1t was introduced in the House
and passed by that body. but was not re-

In fact, there was decided opposition TO the
bill and IL would have been killed but for
the persistence of Mr.. Mount. He fought
for the bill all the way through and by
constant effort succeeded in getting IL read
and placed upon its passage on the last
night or the session upon which IL could be
legally passed. The good which the law and
the creation OF the commission has accom-
plished for the farmers OF the State is suffi-
cienr demonstration OF the wisdom OF Mr.
Mount in insisting upon the passage of the
biz.
Mr.. Mount was actively identified with all
measures OF that session which were In any

The Cavalry Horse Contractors Are

Uncle sa,n's Requirements for Sol,

for the Horse Buyers
Bad Runaway.

Chamberlain, S. D., April 27.-Some
Of the most prominent stockmen in
South Dakota, received the contract fo1
furnishing Fort Meade With seventy
odd cavalry horses. In the effort to
procure horses that would pass the rigid
examination, the contractor visited
practically every prominent horse ranch
in western South Dakota, eastern wy.
omlng and southeastern Montana. Ths
horses were in luz time exhibited to the
Board Of inspection at o Meade,
which has now rejected every one Of the
animals. The horses exhibited by Hale

p~erience has shown them to be the
hardest animals to be found In the

hibited to the board could not be pur.

man 5000 for a team Of handsome greys

The animals We're submitted, but while
the beard admitted that they We're q

suitable for cavalry. H~orse-raisers are
discouraged at the result, and say thai
any board that holds itself strictly to the
requirements of the government in the
selection of cavalry horses would rot be
able to get enough horses in the whole

iment. Mr., Hale does not now believe
that he can procure the comparatively
small number of horses required to fill
his contract.

WHISKY TRUST WINS.
Decision UNFOLDING Conditions I'M

posed in the Rebate Voucher.
Chicago. April Especial Master in
Chancery Robert H. Patten, has hand
ed down q lengthy decision in which the
validity of the bate vouchers of the
whisky trust was sustained.
The contention conferred upon the con-
dition attaching to the payment of the
rebate Of Z cents, which provided that
during the period Of six months elaps-
Ing etween the issuing OF the voucher
and its payment the party to whom it
Is issued Is to purchase his goods exclu-
sively from the trust.
1t was contended on behalf of the re-
bate holders that the condition was lille
gal and in restraint Of trade; the it
tended to build up and p~erpetuate a
monopoly; that the Z per cent rebate
named in the voucher is not a rebate,
but an excess of exaction which the pur-
chaser may recover back; that it consti-
tuted a hostage demanded by the seller
to secure h patronage of the pur-
chaser, for which the purchaser received
no considerations: that owing to the
trust having acquired control of nearly
all the dtstilIeries in he country, and
thereby having forced purchasers to
pay an excessive price, the rebat was
not voluntarily paid, but was obtained
by durcss: and that the condition is
in the nature of an option. and there
fore, under the laws of Illinois, is a
gambling contract and old.
Master Patton reviewed each point at
length, and also decisions of the courts
of this country and England, and holds
that none Of the points raised by the re-
bate holders is good.
The decision wipes out a large por-
ton of the claims presented against the
estate of the whisky trust.

PICKER PENSION BILL.
Dcsertion or Dishoncrable Discharge
No IN to Uncle SAINTS bounty

Dcscrt1On or DiSNONcraDlc
No Bar to Uncle SANS Bounty.
Huron, S. D., April 27.-A number Of
letters have been received here by old
soldiers relative to the Picker pension
bill, discussed in the house a few days
ago. The measur is of vital Importance
TO a large number of eX-union soldiers
in this immediate locality whose pen
sions rave either been lessened or "held
up" entirely. Mr.. Pickler writes very
encouragingly of the bill and believes
1t will become a law. BY its provisions
discontinuances or reductions of pen
sions would be unlawful except fok
fraud, clerical errors, mistake in facts
or recovery from disabilities. Commits
sioner Raum's interpretations of the act
of 1890, which have been largely re-
versed by the present administration,
would be restored, and pensioners drop
ped from the rolls by these reversals
would be restored on application. 1t
makes presumption of death Of an en-
listed man If no tidings have been heard
of him for seven years: it provides that
desertion or dishonorable discharge
shall not be a bar to q pension under the
act of 1890 II an enlisted man served
ninety days subsequent to such dis
charge; it provides that pensions al
lowed shall date from their first appli-
cation; it fixes the maximum income of
a widow entitled to a pension under the
act of 1890 at $500 per nun provides
that no pension shall be reduced or
discontinued except for fraud or recov-
cry from disability, and that discontin-
ued pensions when ~reconsidered and al
lowed, shall date from their discontin-
uance.
