THE RESOLUTIONS
Prepared by Columbia Club Commit
tee ON Col. ThOmpson's Death.

The Columbia Club committee. appointed
to draft resolutions on the death of Colonel
Richard w. Thompson. yesterday submit
ted the resolutions as follows:
Whereas, Colonel Richard w. Thomp-
son, whose life was so long q part of the
life of this State and Nation, has passed
away, we desire In some formal manner to
express our appreciation of the man. He
died full of years and full of honors. His
life almost spanned the life of the Re-
public. For threescore years and more he
stood in the white light of public scrutiny
without a stain on the purity OF his life,
without a blot on the nobility of his char
acter. His disinterestedness stainless in
tegrity, consecrated eloQuence and lofty
patriotism made him an ideal leader. In
thinking of him., we realize that age has Its
ccmpensations as well as its drawbacks
and that to look back Upon a life well
spent, free from selfshness and envy and
malice, means more than to look forward
to a hot struggle for honors which men
seek so earnestly, but which count for so
nal balance is struck.
THE value of such a life as Colonel
Thompson lived among men cannot be
over-estimated. He never spoke an unkind
word or did an ungracious act and was
foremost in all good works. In the family,
the church and the State he always MAIN
tanned the highest ideals.
"'Was never mind did see that face.
Was never ear did hear that tongue,
Was never mind did mind his grace
That ever thought the travail long.
But eyes and ears and every thought
Were with his sweet projections caught.
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution
be spread upon the records of the club and
forwarded to the daily papers and sent to
the family of Colonel Thompson"
The committee was composed of John l..
Griffiths, Horace E. Smith and Samuel b.
Sweet.

A PUZZLING CASE.
Two Men Are Trying to Prove that
They Are the Same Thomas O'Brien.

The case of the two Thomas O'Briens,
each of whom is trying to prove that he is
the Thomas O'Brien who served during
the war as a member of the Fourth New
York Lincoln Cavalry, came up for hearing
in the Federal Court yesterday. One of the
O'Briens is from Togus. Me-, and the other
From Vevay, Ind. Both put in a claim for
a pension and at about the same time.
This attracted the attention of the authori-
ties to them and as a consequence the In
diana man was arrested as an impoSter.
The government brought a number of wit
nesses to the trial to establish the identity
of the real O'Brien. Some of the witnesses
served with O'Brien in the army. and
others brought records from Washington
to show that the O'Brien under arrest was
not the man he claimed to be. The govern
ment witnesses swore that the O'Brien IN
the army could write his name, and the pay
rolls of the cavalry company were shown
with Thomas O'Brien written in full, and
other witnesses testified that the sigma
ture was identical with the man from
Maine. 1t was shown that the Indiana man
could not write his name. But few wit
nesses were present for the Thomas
O'Brien from Vevay, but they all swore
that they had always known him as
Thomas O'Brien, and had always accepted
his story as true. The case will go to the
jury to-day.

u MAN


Frank r. Beeming. who was indicted
on a charge of having robbed the post
office at Treaty. Ind. pleaded guilty yes
terday before Judge Baker, and was given
a sentence of six months in the Marion
county workhouse and fined so. When
asked IL he had anything to say he replied
that he had frequented saloons since he
was old enough to reach up to the bar,
and on that account he had fallen into bad
company and finally got into trouble.
1T Is an unpleasant thing TO send an
intelligent young man like you TO the peni-
tentiary.' said Judge Baker. land it's a
sorry thing that so many young men do
not realize until too late that the saloon
leads 10 the prison" The judge then told
the prisoner that there would be little hope
for him in the future unless he turned his
face from the saloons and kept out Of bad
company. Judge Baker talked in a very
kindly way TO the young man, and he
seemed very much affected.
Adolph Baker, a boy seventeen years old,
pleaded guilty to robbing the mail boxes
in the Elwood postoffice. The court said
he would undertake to get him into the
Indiana Reform School for Boys, where he
would AVE TO stay until twenty-one years
old.
Philip Amick, of Idaville. White county.
was tried by a jury on the charge of rails
ing one-dollar bills to tens and passing
them. The court instructed the jury to re-
turn a verdict OF not guilty. A

No one was allowed to go before, only
those officials that were sent for, and
this morning no one would go in the
mines. as the majority of the miners
had relatives killed, and had gone to
