Musk VEREIN'S FIRST ANNUAL.
Large Meeting. at which 1t Was Per-
manently Organized.

The German House began it's branch of
work among the musicians last October and
under the care of a committee continued
until last night, when the new Musk Verein
held its first annual meeting. AT that meet
ing the constitution and bylaws were
adopted and measures were taken to carry
on the work in the various departments 1t
was a decidedly informal meeting as far as
dress suits were concerned, for on account OF
the hot night there were few coats of any
kind and comfort was the first thought. A
nominating committee was selected and
names were suggested. When the report
was brought in came the first arguments
of the evening for some whose names had
been put on for the various offices objected.
Matters were skillfully adjusted and the fol-
lowing ticket went through, which insures
capable engineering of the Musk Nereln

MORRISTOWN, Ind, June 6--The dis
charging of the vast quantity of refuse into
Blue river from the Carthage strawboard
works and the consequent killing of the fish
and running of the water for the stock has
caused a great deal of i'll feeling on the part
of the farmers along the course of the river,
not only against the strawboard company,
but u. T. Sweeney, state fish commissioner,
as well. The contents of the reservoir have
been emptied into the river several times
previously, and on the last time several
complaints were made to Rev. Sweeney He
accepted the statement of the company that

Their attention to the matter. He is strong
ly censured for not having done anything to
remedy the evil. Blue river used to be one
of the finest fishing streams in the State,
but now the edges of the river banks are
lined with dead and dying fish. Decomposi-
ton setting in gives the agreeable odor
which the farmers SO much desire Mr..
