A HIGH SCHOOL ROW.
Class Day Developed Somewhat of "A
Turmoil.

Class day was celebrated at the High
School Saturday afternoon by the February
and June classes of 1897. There was one
number given that was not on the pro-
gramme. and as a result the classes will
appear before Mr. Hufford this morning.
There are privileges due the proverbial
class day which at other times would not
be tolerated. 1t seems that the February
class presented the June class with a small
shoe, suggesting that the class could only
fill small one. The compliment was re-
turned with interest when the February
class was presented with big hat, init
mating that the members would find even
its huge dimensions too small.
Presents of cabbage and onions. with def
nitions not in the dictionary. followed and
to cap the climax a member of the June
class began to read out OF order. The pres
ident of the February class objected. but
still the reading went on, and the president
grabbed the hand Of the reader, hoping TO
silence him. This brought forth manual
objections. with the result that chair was
raised. and pandemonum followed. Some OF
the girls cried and the boys made consider
able excitement. and IL was only with some
difficulty that peace was restored. The
matter will be adjusted this morning In the
principals room.

Fred w. Alexander, who was formerly

LIGHT OUTPUT OF FLOUR
MILLERs CANNOT GET THE GRADE
OF WHEAT THEY MUST USE.
4 Boom i'm Business mt the Packing
Houses - The National Starch
Works New Elevator.

In January the local Touring mills,
which have capacity of ninety thousand
barrels a month, turned out but 1885 bar
rels. In commenting on the light output.
Arthur Gillette. of the Acme mills, said
that the great trouble was in getting wheat
which would make the grades OF flour that
indianapolis mills manufacture. There is
plenty of wheat of an inferior quality, but
very light holdings of the best grades OF
wheat, and the best grades are held at
such high figures that unless a miller can
ge.Ssome special contract, at a better price
than the market, to manufacture the better
grade of flour, it would be done at a loss
to the mills. Mr.. Gillette looks for but lit
tie relief to these conditions until the new
crop of wheat comes on the market. Local
elevators still have some wheat in store,
but the holdings are very light as COM
pared with February of years past.

Packing-HOuse Business.

Since Nov. 1 the Indianapolis packing
houses have killed 297. 900 hogs, against $780,
900 for the corresponding period ending
Jan. 81, 1896, so that at the end Of January
the local packers had killed only three
thousand fewer hogs than In the CORE
spending period last year. while on Dec. 81,
1896, the local packers were twelve thou
sand behind in number of hogs killed. 1t
will be seen that in January, this year,
nine thousand more hogs were killed than
in January. 1886, and the present month
bids fair to show a still further increase.
Packers report the hogs now arriving as
being we'll fatted and in excellent condition
every way. Since Nov. at all points :. 40
600 hogs have been killed. against 5I2O,cOO
hogs for the corresponding period last year,
n decrease this year of $4,000 hogs. The
export business of hog products is now con-
siderably in excess of that of last year,
Kingan & Co. shipping much larger guam
tity the last two months than in any
former year What this statement means
is shown in the fact that last week at all
ports there were exported 26,77l0O0 pounds
of hog product. against 23.l5s,0OO for the
corresponding week of 1896 an increase this
year in one week of 5000 pounds.
