DUANE H. BOWLES DEAD.
He Was weII-known Young Lawyer
Cause of Death.

The death of Duane II. Bowles. we'll
known young attorney, early yesterday
morning, after an abdominal operation,
came as a shock to a very wide circle or
friends, for he was about and in apparently
good health only a few days ago. His Ill
ness was known only TO his immediate fam
fly. and they were not aware of his serious
condition until it became alarming, for, with
his customary cheerfulness and thoughtful
ness of others, he concealed his ills. Mr..
BowleS was thirty years old last September.
He was born in the home he has always oc-
cupied, at 9i3 North Meridian street, and
was. the second son OF the late Thomas III.
Bowles prominent member OF the Indiana
bar quarter Of a century ago. His mother,
Mrs. Kate Moore Bowles. and two brothers,
Joseph NJ. Bowles, art publisher OF Boston,
and Osborne Bowles. with the Indiana
Mutual Building and Loan Association. sur
vive him Mr.. Bowles was somewhat prom
inent, for a young man, in Democratic
politics. and recently had attracted atten-
ton in the legal profession. a few days
before his death he had removed his offices
to the Law building and was taking much
pride in arranging his new quarters.
Twice has death come to the home of
Mr.. Bowles in the last eight days, in both
Instances following surgical operations
necessitated by the gravity of the cases. In
the early part of last week Miss Agnes
Moore a sister Of Mrs. Bowes, died after
an abdominal operation for a tumor. Last
Sunday Mr. Bowles was taken i'll. His
mother being weak from the shock OF her
sisters DEATH Mr.. Bowles kept his own
condition from his mother lest she worry
further. On Monday he suffered such agony
that he insisted on DR.. o. S. Runnells per-
forming an operation to relieve him. He
would not consent to other treatment. He
was taken to the sanatorium Tuesday morn
ing early and the operation was performed
couple or hours later. With his good
physique and strong will power he made a
manful fight, but an internal hemorrhage of
the devitalized bowel made the fight hope
less He fingered until o'clock yesterday
morning Rev. Or. A. Christensen, Booth
Harrington. John A. Butler and several
others besides his family keeping the last
scious till two minutes of death, and after
soicitous expressions for his mother he
closed life with the words, Il have made
a Sood light, so clearly and strongly uttered
that those about him could hardly be,ieve
the end was so near. It was a twisting Of
the bowel that brought about his condition.
His family believe that all that human skill
could do was done for him.

MONTHLY REPORTS

10 EAST WASHINGTON STREE

Beginning with the present month the
State Board OF Charities will exact monthly
reports from all the state institutions under
its control, either directly or indirectly, in
stead OF allowing these institutions TO hold
their data for year at a'time and then
send il in annual reports to the Governor.
The reason for this, according TO Secre-
tary Butler. is that it is necessary TO keep
track of every insane, criminal or depend
ent person in the State, and this cannot be
done by making more or less inaccurate re-
ports only once year. during which time.
IN many cases, a person may be moved from
one to another OF the penal or benevolent IN
situations several times.
Ii is moreover, desired to have exact in
formation as to the age, condition and ante
cedents OF ali public charges. and this IL Is
felt cannot be secured without monthly re-
tons. whereas with these reports IL will be
possible TO know IL a person be transferred
from county almshouse 10 an insane hos
pital, a boy or a girl from a reform school
TO a reformatory or a man or woman from
a reformatory to prison.
It IS not generally known that the State
Board succeeded in having a bill passed by
the last General Assembly by which il can
compel ali institutions TO make the required
monthly reports. but such is the case. In
discussing the matter yesterday Secretary
Butler said that hereafter the appropria-
lions for the maintenance OF any inStltu-
ticn will be withheld until their monthly re-
ports have been filed. and that the new law
provides for this course.
The State Board spent yesterday in in
speeding the State institutions in this city,
but had no comment TO make on them.

An Incident In the Days Doings of
Irons Alley University.

Following out the established custom in
public schools of giving the children the
benefit of practical study of industrial and
artistic operations the teachers in several
OF the city's schools have recently secured
permission from the president OF the Uni
versity of Irons alley TO allow them to OBJ
serve the getting OUT of a newspaper by
higher" methods. Therefore, the profess
sors have received large delegations of chill
dren, led by teachers, who were in turn
directed about the university by the benefi-
cent president.
This Is an editorial writer. this is a
copy reader and this is reporter" said
the president, pointing out each thing as he
described it: The pupils seemed greatly in
tereSted and the teachers were delighted at
the practical demonstration being given TO
the children. AS the stragglerS of one OF
these delegations left the professors assem-

A SHOE MANUFACTURER.
w. l.. Douglas, of Massachusetts, Talks
Business and Politics.

W. L. Douglas, lifelong Democrat, but
best known as a shoe manufactures, whose
face has been before newspaper readers for
a generation past, is at the Bates, on visit
to his store in this city. Mr.. Douglas, whose
home is at Brockton, Mass, of which city
he was twice elected mayor, was delegate
to the Chicago convention which nominated
Bryan, but rather than support the free
silver issue and vote for Bryan, he with
drew from the convention and was later
sent to this city as delegate to the sound
money Democratic convention which nomi-
mated Palmer and Buckner. He is a great
admirer of President Mckinley and his pol
icy and says that. while the Republican
showing in Massachusetts was not what he
expected, he regards it. as well as the 9TH
er state returns vindication of the Nc
kinley administration.
Mr.. Douglas says the shoe business is bet
ter than he has ever known ii to be, and,
unlike nearly all other lines of trade, ma
terial Is not hard to secure. He says there
was some effort a few months ago TO unite
all the shoe manufacturers in trust, but
that the project is now looked on as dead,
as, in addition to there being over 1,500 diff
ferent firms In the country. there is such a
diversity of lines that an amalgamation Is
considered out of the question.
He says the agitation is still being made
prisons. but that most of the effort to that
end is being made by the makers of the
cheaper grades of shoes, while the makers
of high-grade goods are not affected at all,
and have little interest in the movement
except on account of its general effects.

by Arresting a Man.

Detective Holtz, when he returned last
night from Evansville, where he went to get
l.. ii. Wright wanted here for bigamy,
brought back with him his prisoner and a
badly swollen hand. The swollen hand is
the result of an encounter with man
charged there with "flim-flam." Holtz was
en- his way to the police station In company
with a policeman. AS they turned into the
main street number of women rushed from
a restaurant and cried, Stop thief! Catch
him! Catch him. The man ran right into
the arms of the Evansville policeman and
was being escorted to the police station.
When opposite an alley the man jerked
away and tried to escape. The patrolman
and Holtz gave chase. Suddenly the fellow
stopped and crouched in front of the Evans
vile policeman and he tumbled over him.
The fellow then started In the opposite di-
rection and came in contact with Holtz' S
fist. He was again caught and the trip to
the police station was once more taken up,
with HoltZ in charge of the prisoner. Sew
eral other attempts were made to get away
but were unsuccessful. When the prisoner
was finally taken to the police station he
was bloody from head to foot and Holtz S
clothes were covered with blood. The man
gave the name of Ed Garland, and his first
words were For Gods sake get me a doc
tori! Garland was following a crowd of
snake charmers and was arrested Saturday
but released on condition that he leave Ev-
ansvile Sunday.

LEVEY BROS BID.

Levey Bros. & Co., who were the sue
cessful bidders on the Supreme and Appel

present contract shows an increase over
the old one of $11, 72952 or about liz per
cent. But the contractors claim that there
will be an increase In labor and material
OF about 10 per cent, so when that is con-
sidered the contract will be 81 per cent.

ing two years.
