AFTER THE WHITE CAPS
WITNESSES IN THE CASES FINALLY
CORRALLED At BLOOMINGTON.
Attorney General Ready to Assist i'm
the PrOsecutiOn-Intimid ny
Influential Men.

Attorney General Ketcham expects TO go
to Bloomington to assist in the prosecution
of witnesses in the White Cap trials set
for this week if his services are needed.
Five of the seven witnesses for whom the
authorities have been searching were
brought into Bloomington yesterday morn
ing by two deputy sheriffs. The White
Cappers had secreted the witnesses to keep
them from testifying, and all efforts to find
them have hitherto been unavailing.
Wednesday night Judge Martin appointed
two deputies with instructions that they re-
main on duty in the neighborhood until the
witnesses were found.
Yesterday morning at / o'clock they were
located. Milton Southers escaped in his
night clothes. but three women and two
boys were arrested. In court they said they
had been threatened and were afraid to
come to court. Judge Martin sent them all
to Jail and says ne will not rest until he
captures the two others, when the State
will be ready for the trial. Nine of the best
known citizens in the southeast part of the
county are under bond for white Gaping
and there is a strong organization to secure
their acquittal.
The attorney general said last night that
he was ready and willing to go TO Bloom
ington to assist in the case. Said he: Il
consider this system of whipping by White
Cappers a blotch on the State. have writ
ten to the authorities at Bloomington and
rendered my services on the part OF the
State to assist in bringing these people to
justice whenever / am wanted. under
stand the authorities have had considerable
trouble in securing witnesses, but that they
shall certainly render them all the assist
ance in my power.

The dispatch sent from this city to Sen

A SANITARY COMMUNION
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH DECIDES TO
USE INDIVIDUAL CUPS.
1t Will Take 700 of Thcse--First Pres
byterian Congregation COnsid-
ering a Like Change.

The agitation by the State Board of
Health looking towards the adoption of in
dividual communion cups in churches, in
order to remove all danger of contagion
by the use of a common cup, is begin
ming to have effect. Last night the First
Baptist Church, at a largely-attended con-
gregational meeting, decided to use indi-
vidual cups hereafter. For so large a con-
gregation this will mean no small item of
expense. Samples of the individual cup
were exhibited at the meeting. The deacons
of the church were given authority to make
the necessary purchases.
1t will take 700 cups for the congregation,
and the deacons will decide whether these
shall be of glass or aluminium. The metal
mentioned is coming into extensive use for
this purpose, as the fragility of glass makes
it expensive. The Individual cups will be
carried about in trays containing forty
cups each. On each pew will be a number
of racks for the cups, and after a service
the sexton will collect the cups and sterilize
them in the proper apparatus.
The First Presbyterian Church congrega-
ton is also agitating the question of chang
ing to individual cups.

THE ROOMS oVERCROWDED.
Effect of Truancy Law-Many Chill
dren Reported HI.

Complaints reached the State Board of
Health with reference to the overcrowding
of schoolhouses as a result of the enforce
ment of the truancy law. One case was
reported where eighty-two children were
placed in a schooiroom scarcely large
enough for thirty-five. The result is that
many of the children became too Ill to at
tend school. An examination of the pupils
of one primary class was ordered. Twelve
of them were found to have increased tenn
perature, blood-shot eyes and feverish
threats. They were taken out Of school. In
several of the score of cities from which
complaints have been received the authori-
ties have no power to relieve the conditions,
as the cities are about at the end of the
debt limit under the constitutional per
cent inhibition and they are unable to build
additional schools on this account. In two
or three instances the State Board of
Health has suggested as the only available
remedy that the pupils be sent half time,
once class in the morning and the other in
the afternoon. Where this is done the chill
dren receive only half the education they
need. 1t is said that in very few schools
are the heating and ventilation properly
regulated. In such cases overcrowdng is
bound to result in illness

THE INDEPENDENT TURNER'S.

Last Night.

English's Opera House was thronged last
night with the friends of the Independent
Turnverein. who turned out en- masse to
witness the gymnastic exhibition in which
the pupils displayed the result of their ath-
letic training at the hands of Prof. Adolph
Mols, their instructor. Mr.. Mols has had
the various participants under special train
ing for this event for only about a month,
but last night the performers went through
the portions assigned them without one
break to mar the grace of the exhibition.

ira all the performers Joined in a grand
march in gymnastie costume which was
made up of graceful figures well executed

girls took part followed by a game called
three deep" by the same class. VauIting
on three horses and three bucks by the
boys of the second class came next, fol-
lowed by long wand drill, - in which the
active members showed their proficiency.
The ladies' class, composed of members
over eighteen years of age, then gave a
finished and graceful exhibition on the
balance SWING horses and parallel bars
As in all events the tug of war between
the business mems class and the active
members was of the most amusing and
exciting character. Although about evenly
matched, the active members succeeded in
outpulllng their opponents amid much good
natured applause. The junior class gave an
exhibition on the pyramids, including lad
ders, chairs and bucks. The active members
came next with performance on the vault
