Gets Another Change of Venue.


The suit of the State of Indiana on rea-
ton of William Truesdale against Rein
Hammond, justice of the peace Of Warren
township, to compel the latter to grant
change of venue, was decided yesterday in
Room 2, Superior Court. The suit grew out
of the visit of a charivari party to the
home of a prominent farmer named Beatty
at Beech Grove There was bride and
groom in the house, and five young men
Of the neighborhood decided to give them a
serenade. 1t seems the nocturnal annoy
ance was not we'll received by the family,
and a man came out of the house and or
dered the charivari party to be off, The
members of the party left the premises, and
a day or two later were arrested on the
charge of trespass. William Truesdale was
one of those arrested. The arrests were
made in Magistrate Clark's court, and two
or three of the offenders were acquitted.
Truesdale was granted a change of venue
to Justice of the Peace Hammond, and, IT
seems, as there was an additional charge
placed against him, he requested another
change of venue. The court refused to
grant the change, and Truesdale brought
mandatory proceedings against him before
Judge Harvey. The court, in giving a de-
cision yesterday, found that Truesdale was
entitled to a change of venue If he de-
sired it.

Three months of Good business.

Local passenger officials state that pas
senger business for the last ninety days
has been a gratifying surprise, and that
only in the year of the worlds fair can as
favorable exhibits in passenger earnings be
found as in the last few weeks. Through
business has been improving since last
spring, but for some reason local travel was
light and continued so until about Septem-
Der, since which time there has been a
steady increase, and this, combined with the
large excursion business, has caused the
passenger revenue to show marked gains.
All local officials state that the receipts
from sales of tickets last month were in eX-
cess of any month this year and consider
ably in excess of any October for several
years past. With east-and-west lines travel
has reached its normal volume, as, with the
additional train service, as compared with
a few years ago, all trains are on a re-
munerative basis. No branch of railroad
service has been more benefited bv the inn
provement in business than the Sleeping-car
companies, both the Pullman and the Wag-
ner having for the last three months, been
doing the largest business in their history.
unless it be in the year of the worlds fair,
and in this case east-and-west lines, which
handled little of the worlds fair business
through Indianapolis, have done better than
in 1893.

Kansas city JOURNAL
The editor OF Scribner's Magazine, after
contemplating Mr.. Hamlin Garland's pic
lures of Western life, cannot refrain from
asking whether Mr. Garland is less true
to life than he thinks or whether there has
really been a sudden and unfortunate
change in the character of our Western
citizens" Mr.. Garland, like every other
artist, is true to a small piece of life, not
to the whole of It. The mass of the people
Of the West were never like Bret Harte's
heroes; they are not now like Mr.. Gar
land s-what shall we call them? He will
not admit heroes in his philosophy of fic-
ton. Mr.. Garland has affiliated mostly
with the Populist type, Mr.. Editor, and
that is what he gives you. The West, like
the East. is full of happy people, or, what
is better, people who are too busy to ask
whether they are happy or not, but these
DO not interest Mr.. Garland.

Demand for the New Gold.


The question whether the new monetary
gold will be largely needed by countries
now without gold currency is being an
swered almost daily in the affirmative. The
Empire of Japan decided in the spring TO
change from the silver 10 the gold standard.
The Bank of Japan has been carrying a
gold reserve of from $50, 600 600 to $50O00.000
but will be compelled to greatly increase
this amount in order TO maintain gold re-

Mr.. Albert E. Turner, one of the we'll
known book men of the United States, the
representative of mammoth publishing
concern, says:
''The one book whose sales go on increas-
ing year by year, and which leads all other
publications by hundreds of thousands Of
copies, is the Bible. Where do they go? I
give it up. You can go into hundreds OF
homes and never see the holy book, but
nevertheless the demand never slackens.
Generally speaking the business is in a
fiourishing state, and the publishers can't
turn them out fast enough"

Passenger rates from territory west and
southwest of Chicago to points in Ohio
river territory are being badly disturbed at
present through the application of short
line rates via Chicago. An agreement ex-
lists at present whereby business shall not
be routed through this gateway from points
south of the Illinois Centrals main line,
between Chicago and Sioux City. 1t does not
appear however, that this agreement is be-
ing kept. Its breach resulted in rates being
scalpeU locally, between Missouri river and
intermediate points and Chicago, and be-
tween Chicago and Ohio-river points. A
meeting of the executive committee of the
Western Passenger Association has been
called for Thursday next 10 consider this
and q number of other questions requiring
