that official is to be located in Room Is of
the Statehouse, now occupied by the Indiana

as the room was originally assigned to the

From the standpoint of the State Board of

which will necessarily be transacted be-

that it be turned over to the board for the

no inconvenience if moved to another To-

two offices of the health board will work a
hardship to both.

Detectives Say He Told Full story of
AustermeiIIer Robbery.

Edward Johnston, arrested Saturday night
by Detectives Asch and Dugan for sus-
pected completely in the Austermeiller
'hold-up" last December, endured a three
hours inquisition yesterday afternoon in the
office of the chief of detectives. Before he
was returned to his cell in the city prison
he made a complete confession, the detec-
tives say, of his part in the affair, telling
them also of the part taken by the two other
men whom the detectives suspected of the
job. Johnson is said to have declared that
he was coaxed into joining Peters, the man
arrested by the same detectives Saturday
serving a short sentence. The police claim
that he further told them exactly how the
work was done, and in his story gave them
other arrests of important criminals are ex-
pected to follow.

MERE BASEBALL RUMOR.
Nothing in Stories of n Conference
Here by Magnates.

A wild rumor was circulated by the Satur-
day afternoon papers, to the effect that a
big powwow of baseball magnates was
scheduled to take place in this city yester-
day, to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of post
poning the National League meeting to fix
the schedule for 1899 until the circuit ques-
ton was disposed of. Another story was
printed to the effect that John T. Brush,
Frank Deli. Robson and Receiver Muck
enfuss, of the St Louis club, were to dis
cuss the details of the transfer of the In
dams to the Mound City. Neither story
proved to be true and John Z. Brush, when
asked about the matter, said that he knew
of no such meetings as likely t. take place
in this city. Robson and Muckenfuss were
in st. Louis all day yesterday.

THE PACKING HOUSES
THE LOCAL ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE
KILLED 37s,OOO HOGS SINCE NOV. 1.
Decrease in the Flour Output of Local
MiIls-Business at the stock
Yards for January.

Since Nov. /, the beginning of the winter
packing season, the Indianapolis packing
houses have killed $4,000 hogs, which was
$4,000 more than were killed in Novem
Der, December and January of 1897 and 1898.
Local packers state that the quality of the
hogs being killed has never been exceeded.
Corn was plenty; they have been well fat
tened and unusually healthy. The following
statement shows the number of hogs killed
in the last three months at the twenty-one
packing points that make regular reports, as
comnared with last wear:

Flour Output for january.

Local mills last month turned out but
25,722 barrels of flour, against 80, ls1 barrels
in January, 1888, and 27,316 barrels in 1897
This is but one-fourth the capacity of the
local mills. In October, November and De-
cember the mills turned out between 70,O0C
n S0,000 barrels of -four each month. Tn
falling off in January was a surprise, hut
may be attributed to the difficulty in secur-
ing a good supply of the grade Of wheai
local mills use, and, besides. the margin be-
tween wheat and -four is so slight that there
was no encouragement to push business.

NEW HARMONY'S FORTUNE.
A MuniHcen GIFT from an old Gill
zen.

In a recent article in the Journal on New
Harmony, Ind, and its remarkable library
mention was made of the fact that DR.. 3D.
ward Murphy, Of that place, had made a
gift to the community of the library build
ing, which cost $lS,5OO, besides an art col
lection and other donations. DR.. Murphy
has now eclipsed his former munihcence by
giving the little town $42.0 900 in interest-bear-
ing bonds, the interest on SIS, 900 Of this
TO be devoted 10 a lecture course each year
and the interest on the remaining S27 900 to
be expended on the library.
New Harmony, with a population of only
1.S00. already has a library which ranks
sixth in the State in point OF size. and the
influence of which on the town Is an inter-
esting study. Heretofore with an annual
income Of about $3.50 il has grown to its
present status, and with the added revenue
from Or. Murphy's gift great things are
expected. Dr. Murphy came TO New Har-
mony In its earlier days as a homeless and
penntless boy. He was then b~efriended. and
the kindness has thus proven to be bread
cast upon the waters.

MR.. GLOSsBRENNER's BILL.
A number of primary election bills nave
been offered, but it is probable that the one
by Mr.. Glossbrenner will receive the most
attention as it is the most complete.
The bill is the result of a study Of the laws
of all the States which have undertaken to
regulate primary elections. The bill is quite
long. but its essential features are all that
are important. 1t applies to all parties that
cast 10 per cent. Of the vote at the latest
state election. 1t makes a distinction be-
tween official and unofficial primary elec-
tions. The official primary election is for
the purpose of electiHg delegates 10 nomi-
nate candidates or 10 nominate candidates
by direct ballot. The official primary shall
be under the direction of the election boards
both parties holding their elections at the
same time and place, and the oft1CeTs to
manage the primary elections shall be Sc
lected as are the officers for regular cleo
tions. The officers are to be paid by the
not more than 81 being paid to any
one officer. The polls at such elections shall
be open from ! O'Clock p. IN. and close at 6
O'clock. The unofficial primary shall be an
election held for the purpose of electing
party committeeman ana delegates TO ma
tiOnal and state conventions. Such pri-
maries shall be called by the governing COM
mittee of the party holding 1t after due no.
tice. The polls shall be open three hours.
Such elections Will be at the expense of the
party holding them and shall be subject 10
the rules and regulations of such party.
For the official primary elections the cour-
IS board Of election commissioners shall
divide every ward in any city. town or town
ship into primary districts which shall con-
tain not less than two nor more than four
regular precincts. The board shall provide
for rooms for holding the elections, which
