THE LOG ROLLING Is ON
LEGISLATORS ARRIVING Y MEET
ING THE CANDIDATES.
Senatorial Contest EnIiveneG by Ar
walls for Speakership Honors.

The crowd Of Republican politicians pre-
liminary to the organization of the Legisla-
ture gathered i'm force yesterday. and every
section of the State was well represented.
The members of the Legislature were a bit
slow in getting in. but by evening nearly all
of them were on the ground listening TO the
persuasive tones of various candidates and
boomers. from the friends OF the senatorial
aspirants down 10 the men who are looking
for any place they can find about the Leg
~islature.
Hon.W.R. McKeen. OF Terre Haute. one of
the leading candidates FOR senator. came
over bright and early and spen; the day re-
ceiVinG friends I'm his headquarters on the
second floor of the hotel. In another suite
of rooms General Lew Wallace was holding
a reception, and had a large number of
callers. Judge Robert S. Taylor came down
from FIT. Wayne and occupied a room in
the hotel, though not formally opening
headquarters. Judge Taylor's boom for the
senatorship was the last TO be launched.
Heretofore nobody has been on the ground
to look after his interests. He arrived yes
terday morning just in time TO find in a
Democratic organ, the Sentinel. a lengthy
attack upon his record as d Republican. the
burden of which was that he had led the
attack that defeated Mr.. Cumback for the
Senate i'm 1869. Judge Taylor, when asked
as to the progress of his canvass. said that
he did not know how many votes he would
be able TO command on the first ballot. but
that he was a bona fide candidate and
would stay in the contest until the adj
Journment of the caucus. The develop
ments OF the day showed no particular
change in the status of the senatorial con-
test.

Some Of the STUFF Found.

John w. Clark, twenty years old, was
locked up at the police station last night
on a charge of receiving stolen goods. He
is a waiter at the restaurant at 81 West
Washington street. He works at night.
Yesterday morning when the proprietor of
the restaurant came down he found a lot
of umbrellas, canes and hats hidden in the
room reached by a stairway in the back
part of the restaurant. He had read in
the Journal that the show case in front
of the Progress clothing store had been
broken open and robbed Of just such arti-
cles. He waited until Clark came down to
work again last night, and asked him how
the things got there. Clark denied all
knowledge of the stuff. and went with his
employer to take the articles to the police
station. There he said the boys who stole
the goods must nave slipped I'm through Il
rear door and hidden the things without his
knowledge. The detectives who examined
him locked him up.
The six boys arrested for the large num-
Der of burglaries committed played tough"
at the police station last night. They
smoked cigarettes and told vile stories until
the novelty wore off, and then proceeded
TO have "A circus" They made all the
noise they could. and tried to batter down
the gratings making the walls of the cells.
This was not exciting enough. and they
tore off part of their clothing and started n
fire on the stone floor. AT this stage of
the play two patrolmen marched them down
to the dungeon. where they spent the great
er part of the night.

The board of trustees of the firemen's
fund. which includes Thomas +. Barrett.
president: John GlaZier. secretary, and
Messrs. James VI. Campbell. Frank Graham
and William Gano. last night finished audit
ing the accounts growing out of the recent
firemen'S ball. The expenditures We're
$2T.12 and the net receipts will be about
81 .425. which will be added to the pension
fund. The trustees were pleased with the
success of the entertainment offered in con-
nection with the ball, and thanks on behalf
of the firemen were extended TO those par
ticipating in the programme. as well as to
the mayor. Board of Commissioners and all
others who contributed to the successful
event. The fremen's nnua ball has be-
come one of the fixtures, each rivaling its
predecessor. and the firemen are doubly
COMMUNICATED. not only on account of the
attendance which always marks these
events. but because of the very material
additions made TO the fund for the care of
the disabled.

PROFITABLE OWL CARS.
The Company Made Money During the
Holiday Week.

Those whose business or pleasure kept
them out late at night during the holidays
noticed an increase of traffic on the owl
cars. On the College-avenue and Illinois
street lines the 2 and 3 o'clock ears were
often crowded to their full capacity, and it
seemed that the Citizens Street-railway
Company would have to increase its trans
~portation facilities by at least an additional
number of straps. That this increase in
traffic was not only apparent, but real. Mr..
Mason, president of the comp9ny. admitted
yesterday.
Said he: "On Christmas and New Years
eve the ears were crowded nearly all night
and never paid SO well. The rest of the
week traffic was not much better than
usual. but on the whole weeks business
We are about $50 ahead. That is more
profit than We have made from the owl
ears in any other one week that l know
of"

MIR. sefrit and Mr.. WiIIoughby.

The race for the %clerkship of the House

making an effort for him and Mr.. Skunk,
of Plymouth. arrived and entered the list.
MIR. Prather was on hand shaking hands

Concerning the attitude of Mr. Sefrit. who
had expressed a hesitation about becoming
a candidate for clerk. lest his candidacy
should be construed as inimical to the can
vass of Mr.. Willoughby for the speakership.
Mr.. Willoughby said yesterday: Il appre-
ciate Mr.. Sefrit's hesitation but. in the
present situation. / do not believe his can
didacy would affect mine in the least. The
speakership contest will be settled in the
caucus before the selection of a clerk will
be taken up, and while my own success
would probably interfere seriously with
Mr.. Sefrit's chances on account of geograph-
zeal reasons. my failure would leave "A clear

Lincoln League Meeting.

There will be a meeting to-day of the
executive committee and district managers
of the Lincoln League to arrange for the
annual meeting of the organization on Feb.
u. Inasmuch as Indiana has not yet had
anything in the shape of a general celebra-
ton of the victory of last November, it is
the intention to give this gathering some
thing of that character, and an effort will
be made to have some notable speakers
here. The question of a banquet in this
connection has been discussed. but has not
met much favor from the fact that 1t would
by it's expensiveness shut out some of the
most valuable workers in the league.

The Coffee Trade in General.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In the article on The Sugar and Coffee
War in this mornings Journal is the
statement that No. Z Rios now cost 10is
cents and that No. 4 are worth about
12Ss cents, and that this is about the high
est grade that usually reaches the consum-
er and then at a cost of about 80 cents
roasted. The coffee business is a very pc
culiar one and one which but few under
stand. therefore l beg to say a few words
for the benefit of the consumer as well as
those roasters and jobbers who aim to do
a legitimate business in roasted bulk cof-
fees.
In the first place, package coffee is, as
stated in the article. made of only the
lowest grade of common Rio, such as but
few would buy in bulk at any price if they
would examine 81 before they bought. What
makes it sell then? Ignorance. Should the
consumer buy in bulk he could get a bet
ter coffee and, though he might nave TO
pay a cent or two more, ii would be cheap
Ell. as he could then see what he bought.
and. though no judge of coffees. he would
know they Were all coffeeS. which he does
not if he does not see them.
As 70 the better grades. it is true we
get but few Rios in this country better
than a No. 4. yet Rios form no part of our
better grades excepting as a blender. The
once old and reliable Golden Rio is a thing
OF the past. yet we do not miss Ii. for we
have others, better and cheaper. But few
of the roasted coftees that are retailed
above 30 cents are or contain Rios. They
are blends of such coffees as santos. Mar
acaibo, Bucaramangos. Caracas. Guate-
malas. Salvadors. Mexicans. Costa Ricos.
Mochas and Javas. all of which are. as a
rule, good drinkers and range in price az
from IL cents to 30 cents in the green.
Probably the most used of these for a me-
dunn. or 33 1-3 cents to 81 cents coffee. is
the Maracaibo. Guatemala and Santos,
which, blended as they usually are. i'm equal
parts. would cost on this market about 49,
cents to 10 cents. which would make the
cost TO the rooster about 22l2 cents TO g
cents. This constitutes what is generally
retailed at 33 1-3 cents to 30 cents; from this
must be figured the profit of the jobbei
and retailer. as well as that of the rooster.
Thus ii may be seen that "A No. Rio
which costs 1885 cents green and 49, cents
roasted is not the same coffee as Is sold
for 80 cents by the retailer.
