INTERSTATE STOCKYARDS, INDIAN
APOLIS, Nov. 5.-Cattle-Receipts of cattle

EXCEPT A CLAIM.
Appropriation Bill VIII Thus Pass
Legislature.

The joint caucus of the House and Senate
worked from 7:30 until 1O45 last night on
the appropriation bill. and wound up by
leaving it just as it was before the caucus
met. The effect of this will be that the bill
will pass as it now stands, with the excep-
ton of the May claim which was not
regarded as a caucus measure. The House
has inserted the claim in the bill, but the
Senate will abide by the report of its COM
mittees and refuse to allow IL. This will
necessitate sending the bill to the House to
have the amendment stricken out. and
friends of the claim in the House said last
night that the House would not insist on it's
being embodied in the bill. This viii dis
pose OF the matter for two more years. One
of the things discussed last night was the
question OF the running expenses of the
soldiers monument, with a view to having
a suitable amount appropriated for the pur-
pose. In order TO arrive at some understand
ing of the situation the chair appointed
Senators Hogate and New and Representa-
the annual cost Of the monument and re-
port. to the Assembly, recommending the
appropriation of enough TO cover the cost.
After some discussion IL was decided to
make no provision for the State Horticul-
tural Society. 1t was suggested that the
society had about 81, 100 on hand and should
use that money before asking the State for
any more. Friends of the society claim,
however, that all the funds have been in
vested in a farm for orchard experimental
work and the society is now out OF funds.

R. B. MOLINEUX INDICTED
HELD FOR MURDER IN FIRST DE-
GREE By THE GRAND JURY.
Four Counts Charging Him with Send
ing Poison Through the Mails and
Causing Irs. Adams's Death.

NEW YORK. March 1-Roland B. Mol-
neux was to-day Indicted by the grand jury
for murder in the first degree in causing
the death OF Mrs. Katherine j. Adams The
finding of the Indictment does away with
a hearing before the coroner, and there VIII
be small chance for Molineux's counsel 10
take any steps in his behalf until the case
actually comes to trial. The Indictment
contained four counts:
First-That Roland 3. Molineux sent a
poison through the mails to kill, and which
did kill Mrs. Katherine j. Adams.
Sacond-That Molineux did send through
the mails a poison for the purpose of kill
ing some unknown person.
Tnird-That MoliI.eux sent through the
mails cyanide of mercury with intent to kill.
Fourth-That Molineux sent an unknown
poison TO kill some unknown person.
The witnesses on whose evidence the
grand jury based the indictment were Coro-
ner's Physician Albert l.. Weston, to prove
DEATH; Prof. r. A. Witthaus, TO prove the
cause OF death; III. S. Cornish. to prove the
receipt of the poison package and the
motive for sending it; Nicholas Hickman,
to identify Molineux as the renter of the
letter box on Forty-second street, and Elk
perts William J. Kingsley, Z. b. Hay,
Persifer Fraser and Henry L. Tolman. TO
prove hat Molineux's hand addressed the
poison package to II. S. Cornish.

An astonishing scene was witnessed i'm the
Albany penitentiary On a recent Sunday.
One hundred of the tougheSt-looking GRIM

Sunday Dinner Out.



A fashion in New York this winter is to
be encouraged, because ii really is one that
affects the domestic servant problem. Ii Is
the thing to dine at the fashionable hotels
and restaurants on Sunday evening. which
means making Sunday a day of rest 10 many
servants. The midday Sunday dinner is
passing away in even the homes conducted
on a simple plan. Ii is becoming more and
more difficult for the branches Of a family
10 meet, and Sunday Is becoming not only
the golden clasp that binds the week. bu;
the social link OF families. The midday din
ner does not offer the opportunities needed
for social intercourse. as church and Sunday
school crowd the day before ,. The dinner
coming after that hour marks the time of
leisure. Where the comfortable hotel or
restaurant Is near at hand the day of rest
for mistress and maid is possible. Individ-
uality is not lost. as the hostess can choose
both flowers and menu. and even a private
room is possible. The need OF more rest for
those who do homework and Housekeeping
is evident. How to secure il and preserve
the family life is a problem not easily solved.
Dining out Sunday is one way Of securing
rest for the household. not practicable In all
families, but desirable when practicable,
Sunday off duty gives TO most servants the
hest opportunity TO see fathers and brothers,
who are at work on week days and, gives 10
maid and man the social opportunity moi
possible on the ordinary week day.

Secretary Ayers Nerve.

Secretary Alger has nerve of a peculiar
kind. During the war and after the struggle
was over, when complaint of his treatment
of the soldiers was heard all over the coun-
try. he declared that he would not resign;
that he intended 10 live down" the criti-
cism. There is no sign of a diminution Of
the criticism, for the simple reason that
evidence of his ~incapacity is accommodating
every day. The "living-down' process is a
distinct failure. Just now, when the govern
ment transports are needed for taking sup
plies to Cuba. and the men and food TO the
Philippines, the secretary has had nerve
enough to levy on one, and invite a party TO
go down TO the West Indies with him on a
grand junketing tour. Some congressman
who were invited to go saw the improperly
of the trip at this time, and declined. 1t has
been at last conveyed to the secretary that
IL would be an unwise move for him 10 make
at this time, in view OF the attention that he
is daily attracting from those not his close
friends. and he has decided TO give up the
journey. Nothing has been said as 10 who
was TO pay the expenses of the outing, but,
as a government transport was 10 be used,
the inference can be readily made. IL takes
nerve to do some things, and the secretary
has a large stock OF a certain kind.

COMBINATIONS OF CAPITAL.
Sewer Pipe Manufacturers Agree to
Consolidate Interests.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The representa-
tlves of the hfty-one sewer pipe manufac-
turers met to-day to discuss a consolida-
ton OF interests. The secretary of a large
sewer pipe company who was present re-
ports that it was fully agreed at this meet
ing to organize the American Sewer Pipe
Company, which intends to absorb all of the
leading plants of the country. This COM
pany, he said, will be capitalized at $25,OO0,-
Co.,, and will be incorporated under the New
Jersey laws within two weeks. A prospectus
of the new organization will be issued. 1t is
proposed to make either Pittsburg or Cleve-
land the location of the main office. II.
Gibbs, of the Summit Sewer Pipe Company,
of Akron, Pa. said that of the 81, 900, 600
capita it was proposed TO make half cumu-
lative preferred stock and half common
stock; s20.G0O.O00 of the capital will be re-
CURED to purchase the plants on which the
new company has options. OF these plants
thirty-one are located in Ohio, three at
Uhrichsville. three in Michigan, three in In
diana, three in New York and eight in the
Akron district.

1t is said that some of the greatest ora

the titles of the regiments that rave car

quarter of a year a steady military dis
cipline that is indicated clearly in their per-
Torrance in battle, we realize the truth OF
the saying. The First Idaho, First Wash
ington, Utah Battery. First Montana, First
Wyoming, First North Dakota, First South
Dakota and Second Oregon; these names
have recalled TO thousands of Americans
the conditions forty years ago of the great
country from which those States have been
carved. The government could not have

young populations. 1t Is a strange thought
that out of the great desert of those days
should march this ordered host, powerful
for patriotism, schooled in liberty, and pos
sessing the habitude of free thought and
personal independence in a manner that
Americans do not dream they enjoy until
chance brings about a comparison between
their estate and that of others, and others,
too, who boast themselves. 1t is the fash
ion, and especially now when national ques-
lions are prominent, fol- some to cayil at the

nominy and feebleness. These regiments
from the great West and the people whose
exemplar they are do not justify such

The Cereal Trust.

AKRON, O., March 1.-The promoters of
the new Cereal Trust in this city express
fears that the deal will fall through for the
same reason that the Pottery Trust failed.
Reports from the men who have the sub

lions do not give any signs of being full

money from the stock which has already
been subscribed, which is Tow several days
past due. has not yet been paid over % per
cent. Stock which was quoted at the time
the deal was first announced at 100 has now
fallen below so, and has been offered as low
as 50. If the deal is to be a go 1t will
be absolutely necessary that the owners of
the combine take less cash and more
stock than was first agreed upon. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be objection to this.
and IL is not improbable that the trust will
fail utterly.

Christian Alliance.

CLEVELAND, o., March 1.-The famous
president of the Christian Alliance, Rev.
DR.. A. b. Simpson. delivered an interesting
address at to-day's session OF the alliance
midwinter convention on the subject, 1.-The
Signs of the Times" He attached great
significance to the late war and the threat
ening condition of affairs In Europe. and
advanced the idea that worldwide convul-
sion, prophesied in the Bible as the fore
runner of the millennium, is approaching.
During the proceedings of the day it was
virtually decided not to give much promi-
nence in the future to the faith-healing fea-
ture Of the alliance work, for the reason
that the belief of the members on that sub
ject is generally misunderstood.
Dates were fixed for conventions this sum-

AN OBJECT LESSON.


Representative Knotts's position on the
county reform bill was made plain by an ex-
PLANTATION he gave yesterday. He was asked
why he opposed the bill at the last moment
and replied that he was voting on the mat
ter In a consistent way. He then laid bare
the whole scheme, and, at the same time,
unconsciously paid a higher tribute to the
bill than he could nave done had he tiled to
do so. According to his story, he said that
he was heart and soul for the new court
house at Hammond and that the County
Commissioners had already signed a con-
tract with parties to erect the building as
soon as the site could be chosen. Because of
local jealousies, this may be a greater task
than the building Of the courthouse itself
and it is feared that The site will not be
settled upon until after the new county law
goes into effect, In which case all present
plans Will be upset. Instead of the County
commissioners, who are favorable to the
scheme Of a big Hammond courthouse. the
people will have to deal with the
new County Council, which Will undoubted-
ly be chosen from the outside townships
and may not, therefore. be so Impressed
with the necessity of spending so much
money on the Hammond courthouse as the
present County Commissioners are. He.
therefore,, opposed the county bill because
it endangered the plans Of the Hammond
crowd, who want a fine building in that city
at the expense of the county.
