HUDDLED OVER FIRES.
Gas Weak at Camp MOunt-Colonel
Studebaker ImprOving.

The soldiers at Camp Mount huddled to-
gether in the barns like sheep for warmth
Yesterday. Gas stoves, but not enough, had
been set up and gas pped into them, but the
pressure was weak and the stoves did little
to fight off the cold. All doors were kept
closed and the boys Rugged fires of big
sticks of wood built in the center of the
barns. There was imminent danger of the
barns catching fire. but the boys did not
propose to let the danger stand in the way
of their keeping as comfortable possible.
The officers are determined to remedy the
lack of warmth. Because of the cold and
the rain little work was in progress in the
camp except that which would produce
warmth in the barns The examinations
preparatory to the muster out continued
all day and the surgeons state their prog
ress by saying I'VE have just begun" Most
OF the regmental officers visited the camp
in the morning and then left for comforta-
BILE quarters in the city. 1t was a dreary,
miserable day and one to take the nerve out
of the soldiers. AT the general hospital all
was quiet and there was no change for the
worse In the condition of the patients.
News has come to the camp that Colonel
Studebaker. who has been seriously i'll at
his South Bend home. is improving. Sur
geon Barcus, of the e-hundred-and-ffty-
eighth Regiment is at Sidney, o., and his
friends say he has an alarming case of
fever.

MUSHROOMS ONCE MORE.
The Government Furnishes a Reliable
Manual ON the Subject.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal;
Our attention has been called to an article
in the Journal of Sept. 4, signed ''Botanist.
criticising one entitled Foods of the
Woods" which appeared in the Ladies'
Home Journal fer August. Also another
later one. criticising "Botanist," and signed
"A Friend of Toadstools." We shall not
enter into discussion of the merits of the
article which appeared in the Ladies' Home
Journal, or of the questions raised by the
subsequent discussion further than to say
that "Botanist" is correct in stating that
there is no book yet written which will en-
able person ignorant of the subject to take
up a half dozen forms, collected at random,
and positively determine their names. Rules
for determination given by any one except
thoroughly competent specialist in
cryptoganic botany are likely to be mis-
leading, and are unreliable. Many cases of
mushroom poisoning have resulted from
placing too much dependence upon popular
knowledge second hand. who have not
sufficiently wide acquaintance with fungi to
make them safe guides. In order to save
some would-be fungus eaters from an un-
timely DEATH or. at least 10 save them
from making disagreeable mistakes. the De-
partment of Agriculture published in the.
year book for 1897 and later as a bulletin,

and Poisonous Fungi written by DIR. w.

in Harvard University. DR.. Farlow Sc
lected TO write the paper on account Of his
wide and accurate knowledge Of fungi and
particularly Of the group in question. The
paper was designed for those who do not
recognize even our commoneSt species Of
fungi but who desire TO become acquainted
with the subject. 1t will. however. be found
helpful to many of broader knowledge.
The department will send the publication
free to any one requesting it. and Will as

WASHINGTON. Oct 1S.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has received an
inquiry as to the taxability of transactions
in grain and provisions by members of the
Board of Trade in Chicago, before and after
the regular Board of Trade hours, in the
office of the parties to such transactions,
and also at times or the sidewalks in the
vicinity of the Board of Trade. In his re-
ply the commissioner holds that transact
tions of this character between those
specially engaged therein at any business
place used for such purpose, without re-
gard to location or designation, where they
may meet and make their contracts or
agreements are subject to tax. This con-
struction of the law, however, is held not
to apply to the casual transactions which
may occur on the sidewalks, street corners
or other public places where they will oc-
casionally happen. This ruling is in ac-
cordance with recent opinion of the at

ing. He is the young nan who eloped with
Miss Nellie Woodwork to Chicago and
Milwaukee. On their return they separated

found he was not obeying orders he was

He is right, of course, when he says
that the widespread interest in what he
said was due to the sppposition that he
expressed the views of the New York
Journal; Sc soon as people understood
that they were his own and not the
Journals. they ceased to take any in
terest in them: it is very doubtful. in
truth, whether half a thousand people
read his second article on Bryan.
He frankly says he misjudged pop
ular sentiment on the subject on which
he wrote. which was Mr.. Bryan's per-
sistent exposition of the silver ques-
ton, and the Importance he attached
to it. This he certainly did. His posi-
ton on the Journal enabled him to
evoke public sentiment. so far as the
Democratic party is concerned, but
really he did Mr.. Bryan no signal ser
vice; what he did was to discover a
great light for himself. In his last
word on Mr.. Bryan he does not confess
that he grows weary of him. Perhaps
his surprise took away all his weari-
ness

KEEP THE BOYS AWAY.

It is always a depressing thing to see
men before the bar of justice awaiting
sentence for their offenses against So
ciety, but when boys, some of whom
have not reached their teens, while
others have but entered them, are
brought before the bar of justice for
trial, the sight is sad and distressing in
the extreme. Such a sight was wit
messed in the police court Saturday.
Four boys were there for trial, but the
hearing in their cose was postponed
until tomorrow.
The boys did not seem to realize their
predicament, and when they were
placed in the county Jail it appears
they regarded it as a fine thing, as
something which made heroes of them
and would give them distinction among
their playfeIows. But this was not
all. When the boys were arraigned
there were some other boys present,
possibly playmates and of the same
class. No boy should ever be allowed
in the police court unless he is there
az a witness. The effect of a police
court scene upon a boy is very bad
indeed, and they should very promptly
be turned out of the room by the police;
the best interests of society demand
that this be done. If police courts could
be rid of their habitues it would be
good thing, for those who make it
business to attend all their proceed
ings are, as a rule, of the loafing class;
but under no circumstances should
boys be allowed to witness police court
proceedings.

But One Silver Party.

Logan Journal: We understand on very
reliable authority. that already steps are
being taken, sub rosa. by some individ-
uals whom the Democratic party has de-
lighted 10 honor il the past. to form an
organization on the speclous plea, that as
prises practically the whole of its popu-
lation. il would be preferable for the
people to mass themselves together un-
der Il different cognonnen than either the
Democratic or Republican name
The Democrats in question have already
secured the promise of assistance in this
scheme from soE,e 0e the leading silver
Republicans throughout the country. and
they confidently anticipate that the
strength of the showing they will be able
to make will be a terTorzirg inducement
to the leaders of the Democratic party
proper to accede to their demands.
The proffeTec gift, like that of the
Greeks to the Troians. is 10 be feared. for
it is neither q proper nor a feasible
proposition on the face of 1t.
In Cache county thera is only one silver
party, and that is the Democratic party.
There is absolutely no justification for
Republican. or to do anything else. in
1Ustice to his own proper conyictiols than
TO drop the absurd and pseudo title and
call himself b. his proper cognomen one
or Democrat.
There is no such organization in ex-
istence as the Silver Republican party
there is a silver party, but that is the
Democratic Dart-r-and in Cache county
we ere sure that such scheme as we
have disclosed will be very promptly and
effectively souelched.
1t is just as well that it should be known
al this early date that any new OrganiEa-
