Cheese" Brown stated Saturday in
conversation, that he believed all peo-
pie working for wages and fixed in
comes would receive no benefit from
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
but that the farmers. the manufacture
ers and producers in general would be
benefited by the increased prices they
would receive for their products. See
the point? Labor would not increase in
price to keep pace with products, hence
the workingman would be robbed for
the benefit Of the producer. just as Mr..
Corthell has 50 forcibly stated.

1t is stated by those who have heard
Mr.. Arnold speak in the northern por-
ton OF the state that he has been very
fond OF pointing to "the d%eplorable con-
ditions existing in his home city" To
let him tell it, the people of Laramie
are at the poorhouse door and are I'M
able to get in because of the crowd
which has preceded them. II it is good
political sense to go about blasting the
reputation OF ones own town, then Mr..
Arnold has conducted a good campaign.

THE 9TH MUSTERED OUT
FUTURE OF INDIANAPOLIS CRACK
ARTILLERY BATTERY.
Health OF the Members Almost Per-
fect-ChapIain HndersOn's Lee
ture Last Night.

The members of the Twenty-seventh In
diana Battery lined up at the armcry at
100 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at o
o'clock the last man had been mustered out
Major Tucker, who paid the money yet due
the company, remarked that he had never
seen a finer body of men in his life. Every
thing was in excellent condition, and the
health of the 173 members was almost per-
feet The amount received by each man
averaged about 500. Nearly every man lives
in this city, so there was little travel pay
to account for.
The old Battery A will reorganize and wait
for action by the Legislature to make the
members constitute state body. That the
name will still be Battery A cannot be def
nitely decided until the makeup of the re-
organized state militia is known. 1t is
thought by the members however, that
there will probably be no change in this
designation. The new company will be COM
posed of eighty-four men, nearly all of
whom will have been members of the old
battery The officers will be elected, it is
supposed, at some time between now and
tho meeting of the Legislature. Captain
Curtis will be elected captain, and Second
Lieutenant Gallon who became a prime
favorite with the battery on the Porto
Rican trip. is the most promising candidate
for first lieutenant. There is an uncertainty
about the other offices. Until the Legis-
lature takes some action the battery will
be entirely free from state control.
Major Tucker will remain in Indianapolis
for short time to complete the details of
the business which requires the attention Of
a paymaster He will then report at Chi
cago, unless ordered to pay troops else
where.

TERM OF A PROSECUTOR
TANGLE HAS DEVELOPED IN THE
KNOX CIRCUIT COURT.
Grows Out OF a Special Election
Plenty of Work Yet for APP
peIIate Bench.

William S. Hoover, of VinceEres, the new
ly elected Democratic prosecutor Of the
Knox Circuit Court, was at the Statehouse
yesterday looking up commissions executed
to his predecessors in order to ascertain
VIXEN his term begins. The incumbent, j..
L. Goodman, also a Democrat has been
holding the office six years. lie contends
that his term does not expire until next
February. 1t seems that in 1894 when Good
man was a candidate for reelection he and
Jonathan Keith, the Republican, received a
tie vote. The Governor ordered a special
election to be held Jan. 49, 1895. At the
special election Goodman was reelected
qualifying about the miGdle of February
His contention is that his term began at
the time of the special election and expired
two years later. Last fall he was a candi-
date for reelection, but was defeated. Mr.
Hoover, prosecutor-elect, has already re-
ceived his commission, but Goodman still
holds on to the office.
Deputy Attorney General Moores says
that Hoover is PROFESSIONALLY entitled to
the Office, as Goodman could only serve
until his successor was elected and quail
fed, as the law provides. "A peculiar thing
about the case" said Mr.. Moores, sis that

on Goodman, prosecutor, to GUST himself
Fortunately, however, if Goodman were to
refuse to bring the proceedings Mr.. Hoover
might apply to the Circuit Court for per-
mission to begin the proceedings in his own
name. Mr.. Hoover, prosecutor de jure,
might appear before the grand jury and
have Goodman, prosecutor de facto, indicted
for usurping his office"
Mr.. Hoover said that there would be no
trouble, as he and Mr.. Goodman are good
friends and the controversy is the result
OF a misunderstanding and is perfectly
friendly

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Candidate POsey and Representative
Hemenway Here.

Yesterday was rather duh in politics,
most of the politicians having gone home
for Thanksgiving and not returning. Frank
b. Posey, candidate for the United States
Senate. and Representative Wiloughby
candidate for speaker of the House. how
ever. were much in evidence Mr.. Posey
seems to grow more confident as the meet
ing of the General Assembly approaches.
Mr.. Willoughby has insisted all along that
he would go into the caucus in first-class
shape In connection with Mr.. Posey's can
didacy comes the report that Representa-
tive Hemenway of Evansville has an eye
on the gubernatorial chair His friends from
the southern part of the State presume
that because MIR. Posey is a candidate for
the Senate, he viii not be a candidate Tor
Governor.
Although Governor Mount. in a recent in
terview, affirmed one given the journal
several months ago, to the effect that he
was rot a candidate for United states SEN

WEARIED BY A BEER TAX
BREWERS FROM SIX STATES ARE
REPRESENTED HERE.
Pressure to BE Brought on Congress
to Repeal the One-DOIIar-a-
Barrel Levy.

The executive committee of the Brewers
associations of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Kentucky held a meet
ing at the Bates House yesterday to dis
cuss the war tax of 81 a barrel on beer.
About thirty representatives of four hun
bred brewing concerns were present. An
drew Hagen, of the Home Brewing Com
pany, of this city, was chairman of the
meeting. Joseph A. Miller, secretary of the
Ohio Brewers Association, was secretary Of
the meeting
The brewers want the war tax on beer
repealed and they are arranging to begin
an active movement in this direction. In
the discussion yesterday it was the opinion
that the only way to have this tax lifted
will be to bring strong influence to bear on
Congress. 1t was decided to draft resolu-
tons setting up the claim of the brewers
and pointing out wherein the war tax on
beer Is inimical to the prosperity of the
country. Secretary Miller will prepare the
resolutions and copies will be sent to every
representative in Congress. The United
States Brewers Association will hold a
meeting in New York next month and the
question will be agitated there. At the
meeting the 1900 brewing concerns will be
represented. The brewery employees will
also take up the matter and the saloon
keepers OF the country will take part in the
fight. 1t is expected by them that so strong
fight against the tax will be made in the
next Congress that relief will be forthcom-
ing.
The resolutions to Congress will urge that
1t is unfair that 1900 concerns of the same
character should be compelled to pay a tax
that is equal to paying the interest on the
government debt at a rate of per cent.
1t will be pointed out that the war tax has
caused a reduction of 20 per cent. in the
output of beer. This is caused by the slow
demand for the beverage. The saloon keep
er, on account of the tax, has decreased the
size of the glass and consequently there is
a decrease in the quantity consumed. This
Injuries the farmer, who finds no demand for
his barley. 1t Injuries trade generally be-
cause the brewerieS cut down the wages Of
their employees or turn them off. The reso-
lutions will also contend that there has been
an increase of 81 q barrel in the cost of the
raw material required in the making Of
beer.
The brewers say their employees are paid
higher wages ordinarily than any other
class of labor. An expert brewmaster re-
ceives from $1,000 to $4,000 a year, 1t is
claimed. 1t is claimed that the brewing in
terests represent 100000 votes and this fact
repeal of the tax is demanded in earnest.
Secretary Miller says the yearly output of
beer under normal conditions amounts to
g, 200 600 barrels. He says that the prevail
ing idea that the brewing industry yields
heavy profits Is mistake. Fully Is per
says, are now either in the hands Of re-
ceiVerS or asSfgneeS.

HIGHER COURT BUSINESS.
Claim that Appellate Bench Has Not
OutliVed Its Usefulness,

The Supreme and Appellate Courts will
begin the new years work with a large
amount of business before them. Including
twelve cases pending on petitions for re-
hearing there are 344 cases undisposed Of
in the Supreme Court. One case a day was
filed the last year, or a total of 365 for the
year. During the summer vacation 1872 cases
were filed. In the Appellate Court includ-
ing two pending on petitions for rehearing,
there are $50. There were filed during the
last year 347 cases. The number filed since
the summer adjournment was 165. Those
who are familiar with the affairs of the
courts Of last resort in this State say the
figures given above do not indicate that the
Appellate Court has survived its usefulness
as ancillary to the Supreme Court. The
new judges of the Supreme Court will be
sworn into office in January. The appellate
judges will most likely not be sworn in,
standing on the proposition that the recent
election was unnecessary and that they
We're the legally qualified judges without it.
1t is well understood that an effort will be
made to have the decision Of the Supreme
Court on this question set aside.

THE BATTERY's HISTORY.
Chaplain HendersOn's Lecture at
TOmIinsOn Hall.

The history of the Twenty-seventh In
diana Battery during the war, illustrated by
stereopticOn pictures, was given at Tomlin-
son Hall by Fl. L. Henderson, of the organ
ization Mr.. Henderson has been practically
the chaplain for the battery, but as army
law made no provision for chaplain in
a battery he served with the same pay and
rank as a private To do this he gave up
a charge where he had been preaching. A
large audience was present to hear the lee
ture last night and everyone seemed to be
very much pleased at the completeness of
the history so graphically presented to them.
Not only were the habits of the army boys
presented, but many of the views were
equally instructive.
The first picture presented was that OF
the Liberty bell, and 1t was followed by
quite a number OF views illustrating the
life Of the boys while they were still at the
fair grounds One of the pictures showed
a man in blanket. The speaker remarked
that a good dose OF the blanket was not
always such a bad thing for a soldier after
all. Quite a number of pictures of officers
and some privates were given. Those Of
Captain Curtis and Lieutenant Gallon were
especially applauded. In some of the group
pictures, many of which were comic, it was
barely possible to recognize some we'll
known member of the battery. The pictures
illustrative Of the life at Chickamauga We're
also we'll received Some of the historic
scenes were very well presented The speak
err remarked. concerning Chickamauga, that
it was a beautiful place and would have
made almost an ideal camping ground for
about twenty-five instead of fifty thousand
men.
The Porto Rican scenes were we'll selected
to give an idea both of the military eVolu-
tions there and the character OF the natives.
Ono xFiax a m.
Brooke the order from President Mckinley
preventing the contemplated attack on an
almost impregnable position OF the Span
iards and probably saving the life or many
a brave American boy. OF the pictures or
natives the best was one showing a tall,
middle-aged negro astride a small mule,
with an immense basket filled with bread
before him. Mr. Henderson said that tine
loaves Of bread were much like our apple
dumplings in appearance, but where the
ample ought to be there was nothing. There
were grooves through the loaves, and they
consisted of a hard crust and nothing else.
Mr. Henderson remarked that the natives
there seem to have more independence than
the American negro and seem TO feel that
they are the owners of everything.
At the close Of the lecture Mr.. Hender-
son thanked the ladies' auxiliary in be.
half of the battery for all the ladies' had
done for the boys and SAID that he believed
their acts of kindness were more help1ul
than all the sermons preached by chapalns
during the war. The last picture was the
American flag waving above a sun rising
from behind clouds. The band played the
''Star-spangled Banner" After the close OF
the address dance to the members or the
battery and their friends was given py Lne
ladies' auxiliary.

he intended leaving her. A friend told her
that her husband was infatuated with an
other woman. After all that. Mrs. Osborn
decided TO die. DR. Martin said that Mrs.

dangerously tried by her attempt To take
her life though when he left her last night
she had recovered from the immediate eff
fects of the drugs.
