Cincinnati Feb. "A hundred differ

Indianapolis. Jan. S0.-The Supreme
court this afternoon declared invalid
the legislative apportionment of 1895,
passed by Republicans. The case came
up from Sullivan county, and involved
also the apportionment act of 1898,
passed by Democrats. This also goes
down as unconstitutional By a for

1891 and 1879 were found invalid. To-
days decision suggests that special
session of the Legislature might be
called to remedy the situation, which
has become chaotic by today's decision.

have been going on throughout the
winter, and at a depth of siXty-eight
feet is reported a well-dehned vein of
gold-bearing quartz, the average value
of which is S10.25 per ton. Friends in
indianapolis have interested them
selves in the disclosure, and in April
they will be upon the ground to take
steps looking to the erection of mill,
which is, says Mr.. Robinson, fully JUS
