RAINS, THE DRUGGIST,
He Gave Away "Chill Tonic"

VIM. Thayer, a white tramp,
struck town last Sunday with a jug
full of whiskey and few other per-
sonal effects, and pitched camp
under a tree behind some negro
houses on South High street. If
Mr.. Thayer had appropriated the con-
tents of his jug solely to his own use,
he would, no doubt, have been free
man now; but he began to dispe nse
his liquor to his colOred brethren
during the day, and Officers Roberts
and Friel gathered him into the
fold" Mr.. Thayer is a man of hui
name feeling, and he stated to the
officials that he was just from the
smallpox districts, with his clothes
full of germs, and he hated to COM
municate the malady to his fellow
men by associating with them.
The officers had no fear of the small
poX, however, and then Mr.. Thayer
remembered that he was just from
New Orleans and was showing symp-
toms of genuine case of yellow
Jack" The officers were loath to
part company with Mr.. Thayer, de-
spite his ailments, and Jailor Butts
gave him a berth all to himself in
the city lookup. When arraigned
before Judge Erwin next morning,
he had improved a great deal during
the night, and his smallpox and
yellow fever had turned into a case
of chills. He stated to the Judge
that he was on his way to his home
in Indiana from the South, and had
bought jug of whisky to drive of
chills. He said he had not sold any
whisky but was simply giving il
away, and did not know that there
was a law here against treating" or
Sunday. Judge Erwin gave him 81
days employment on the streets.

In the evening he attended two precinct

the Fourteenth, below the Belt, making
brief talks for from three to five minutes
at each. He then drove to the Fairbanks
Club, at Dillon street and Fletcher avenue,
where he made brief address to about two
hundred voters. The Marion Glee Club had

an enthusiastic meeting of about two hun

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Thomas Harris, an Old Soldier from
the Marion Home, Ends His Life.

Thomas Harris an old soldier and an in
mate of the Soldiers Home at Marion, CON-
mitted suicide last night by taking NOR
phine. He was here on a ten days furlough
and staying with Mrs. Jennie Line, TT
new S44 West Washington street. Last night,
at about $50 clock, he left the house, and
when he returned had a white powder,
which he swallowed in the presence of sew
eral people, after telling them what it was
and bidding them all goodbye. At about 10
O clock the people living in the house start
ed out to telephone for a doctor. At 1890
they had failed to find telephone, but had
found two policemen, and through them the
City Dispensary was notified. DR.. Erdman
arrived about the time Harris was breathing
his last, and remedies were useless.
Harris was fifty-five years old and was
corporal in Company II, Eleventh Indiana
Volunteer Infantry. He came to this city
about ten days ago and had been staying
with Mrs. Line. He drew a pension while
here and did not seek any employment.
Yesterday afternoon he was helping
woman move some furniture into an adJoin-
ing house and fell down a stair, breaking
his arm 1t was said about the place last
night that this was what caused him to take
his life. Mrs. Line said that it was on her
account; that he thought too much of her.
She was greatly affected by his death.

POGUE,S RUN.
One of the Grossest Mistakes in the
History of the City.

One of the Grossest Mistakes in the
History of the City.
TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the event of another flood in Pogue's
run such we have had repeatedly in the
last few years the damage to the city will
be incalculable. Half a million of dollars
and perhaps double that sum, will be re-
qured to cover the damage that is sure to
follow the action of Mr.. Taggart's admins
tration in widening, deepening and straight
ening the bed of the creek above Ohio street
The work above Ohio street would be all
right if there were sufficient outlet for
the increased flood, a flood that will be
brought down in more than double the vol
ume and in less than one-half the time that
has been heretofore required for II to reach
that point.
How has 1t been heretofore? The obstruc-
tions between Ohio street and the river have
always acted like dam to keep the water
back. These distractions have not been
removed. A body of water forty feet wide
and twenty feet deep coming down like a
miniature Niagara cannot escape through
two little stone culVertS, each about seven
feet wide and eight or nine feet high. What
is to become of the water? Just what has
always happened Will happen again - the
water will be forced out over the city; but
the flood viii reach Ohio street in much
larger volume and in much less time than
ever before, and consequently the damage
will be greater.
1t would have been much better for the
city to make present to Mr. Taggart of
this Pogues run money than to allow him
to use it as it has been used. Indeed. it
would be better TO pay all his campaign
expenses out of the treasury direct than to
have him use the city's funds to augment
such q certain and positive danger / have
been familiar with the antics OF the run for
nearly thirty years. and | say in all candor
that citizens should keep their lifeboats
handy. CITIZEN.
