INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 6-The nomination
by the republicans of Charles w. Fairbanks
for United States senator is now practically
assured. The other candidates have not yet
withdrawn from the contest, but they are
practically out of IL. If there was any doubt
as to the real strength of the Fairbanks
forces it was cleared away last night when
his supporters in the senate and house met
in separate caucuses to talk over the stu
alton. In the two caucuses there were
actually present forty-eight senators and
representatives who are pledged to him, and
there were absent six senators and repre-
sentatives who have been all along active
in the support of Mr.. Fairbanks, making a
total of fifty-four men outspoken for him.
This is eleven more than enough to nomi-
nate. II all the candidates remain in the
field the vote will probably be: Fairbanks,
61; McKeen, 16; Wallace, 5; Robert S. Tay-

Mrs. J. n. Miller, who has charge of the
Fifteenth Street mission, and Mrs. J. L.
Ketchum, one of the women who devote
time and intelligence to the work, have re-
ported a number OF cases that have fallen
under their notice where people have been
found soliciting food and clothing in the
name OF the mission. and for the various
dependents whom the women are caring for.
Nothing that has ever been given these
people has been turned into the mission
or reported in any manner. The women
have discovered who the fraudulent beggar1
are, but refuse to make their names pub
lie, and will not do so unless they continue
their imposition.
Unauthorized and dishonest solicitors have
also been abroad, using the name OF Henry
De Long, the American Volunteers and other
organized charities. II Is difficult for the
public to discover the imposters, but If those
who desire to give will follow the sugges-
tions OF Mrs Miller and Mrs. Ketchum they
will refuse to give anything to the mission
unless 1t is solicited by one or the other OF
them. Aid desired TO be extended TO Henry
De Long should be sent directly to him or
he be notified where to call for II. the
Volunteers will permit only members OF
the organization to solicit aid, and their
uniforms distinguish them from the common
herd.

MRS. BERNEY HAS A TENANT
She Also Has Trouble with the Same
Concerning Rent
He HAS HIS LANDLADY ARRESTED
Henry Hnrney swcnrs to Three Com
plnints, Charging Larceny, AS
snuIt and Threats TO XIII
Against the Woman.

Some OF the neighbors and acquaintances
of Mrs. Amelia Berney are very anxious to
have her change her place of residence, and
If they can succeed in their present under
taking they will have her reside for an
indefinite period in the county jail They
had her arrested three times yesterday.
One warrant was for larceny, another
charged assault with intent to do great
bodily injury and the other was for threat
ening to kill. The complaints come from
tenants living on Mrs. Berney's farm, which
is located several miles southeast of Man
ava.
The trouble grow out OF the failure of the
tenant. Henry Harney to pay the amount
OF rent agreed upon. Mrs. Berney has
made numerous attempts to enforce collec-
tion, but neither time proceeded in the
way the law directs. 4 few days ago she
called at the house and demanded payment.
Not getting anything, she seized and car
ried away a sack OF dried apples. The Har-
neys threatened to have her arrested for
larceny, and when the threats were carried
to her by kind neighbors she made another
visit. Mrs. Harney was alone in the house
and her husband now says she was sick or
things would not have happened as they did.
The wordy war between the women ended
in Mrs. Berney's taking a shield to a corn
cultivator and belaboring her opponent with
1t. She then left the place. The day fol-
lowing the kind neghbors again aided her
by telling her the remarks Harney had
made about the affair. This story greatly
incensed Mrs. Berney and she went over to
the farm again and had a conference with
Mr.. Harncy himself Harney does not spe-
city in his information just what occurred
but he AYERS that Mrs Berney made sundry
malicious and deadly threats that she would
kill him, and he is not sure whether she
was armed with an axe or broom, but
he subscribed fearlessly to the declaration
that she came over to kill and repeatedly
| threatened to do so. This was more than
he could stand and he came to town yes
| terday and swore out the three informa-
| tions. The complaint was lodged before
| Justice Cook. Mrs. Berney was arrested
| and arraigned on the three charges. She
denied the truth of all OF them. For the
| larceny of the dried apples, which were
alleged to be worth So, she held in
| 500 bonds; for the assault upon Mrs. Har.
ney she was required to file a bond for
| $3.50 and for her conversation with Mr.
| Harney a similar amount was necessary tc
| keep her out OF jail. She promptly gave
the required security and went home, after
promising to be on hand at 9 o'clock Janu-
| ary II and make 1t exceedingly warm foi
| a whole lot of people.
Now is the time to make good resolutions
