ing a Sum Of Money.

John Paul Jones, of Robinson, Ill, STU
dent at the Indiana Dental College, was ar
rested yesterday by Detectives Thornton
and Splann and charged with stealing $17S
belonging to the college. Several days ago
there was shortage of that amount in the
money contained in the safe. The detec-

cradle money and had made purchases not
I'm keeping with his former circumstance.
When arrested he showed letter from mis-
parents, who had sent him small sum Of
money. He was searched and 500 found
on him. He was wearing new suit of silk
underwear and another was found in his
room. Expensive socks, shirts and revolt

the stenographer. The money drawer was
locked but the safe door was open and the
keys to the drawer lay in pigeon hole.

A NEW RACING SCHEME
THAT HAS BEEN Projected BY
GEORGE III. KETCHAM, OF TOLEDO.
The Fastest Trotters and PAGERS to
Be Shown Over the Country
Effort to Break Records.

Mr.. George H Ketcham, of Toledo, was
in the city yesterday and is quite euthusi-
astic over his racing scheme for the coming
season. Mr. Ketcham has had his proposed
plan under cover for some time and 1t was
given out to the public but few days ago.
He is the owner of Creseceus, one Of the
promising trotters for the coming season.
He interested the owners of Tommy Brit
ton, another fast trotter. and Searchlight
and Joe Patchen, the worlds greatest
PAGERS, to enter into his project and this
great quartet of flyers will race in all the
principal cities of the country the coming
season, endeavoring to lower world records
and track records.
This scheme is perfectly legitimate In
every detail" said Mr. Ketcham last even
ing, land all races will be conducted strict
ly upon their merits. 1t is our intention to
tour the country racing in the larger cities
strictly independent of any racing associa-
ton but not antagonistic to them. The
races will be conducted on the percentage
plan, the same as theatrical companies do
business. For instance, we will go into
city and take a per cent. of the gate re-
ceipts. the driving association of the
city to conduct the races and furnish all
the officials, thus having complete control
OF the racing.
1.-THE race meets will nearly all be held on
Saturday afternoons and the programme
will consist of races between the PAGERS
and trotters and an extra event, either
trotting or pacing, whichever the club de-
sires TO put on. An effort will be made on
each track to lower records. The four
horses are the best In the business and
match races, such as are outlined. will
draw immense crowds wherever we race.
The owners of the horses will receive the
same mony whether they win or lose: the
money will be divided four ways in the
combination. When we race in Boston j.
Malcomb Forbes, owner of Peter the Great,
a well-known horse, will be included In the
combination for that city only and his
horse will enter the events.
I'VE will start out in Pittsburg July 4
and will draw crowd of over 10000 people.
We will be in Chicago at the Washington
Park track after the running meeting at
that track is concluded. We will then go to
Boston, Springfield, Mass, New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and probably to Port
land Ne. The flyers will be at the Glens
Falls track about the latter part of August,
when they will be thoroughly seasoned and
with good weather which we ought to be
favored with that time of year / fully ex-
pect TO see many records lowered"
Mr.. Ketcham was asked IL the great COM
bination of flyers would come to Indian
apolis, and he replied that this had not
been decided. With the circuit already out
lined il may be late in the season before
they could come TO this city.

A HANDSOME STUDIO.
Very Artistic Decorations Made by a
Wheeling Firm.


A Register reporter yesterday visited
the studio of Mr.. Morgan L. Rhees, in
the Reilly building, and was permit
ted to examine one of the most artis-
tic bits of interior decorative work
ever done by Wheeling firm. The
design is Oriental throughout, embrac-
ing not only the wall coverings, but
all the furnishings of the studio. The
floor is stained in imitation of ebony,
and covered with Oriental rugs, and
the draperies are designs from the far
east. There is an indefinable artistic
touch about the whole which reflects
great credit upon the Boston Boards
ley Company, of No "a Twelfth street,
the decorators.
The artistic tastes of the representa-
tive of this firm, and Mr.. Rhees, ap-
pear to have blended admirably, and
the combination has produced a studio
which, while not so commodious per-
haps, compares favorably with the
handsomest studios in the east. Where
the Boston Beardsley Company left off,
Mr. Rhees began, and his art pieces
are very tastefully arranged. The
room has more the appearance of the
den" of wealthy citizen, than the
workshop of an artist.

The Late Eustace Gibson.

Richmond Dispatch.
The death of Eustace Gibson, of
Huntington, w. Va, is announced. We
recall him as the principal tormentor
of the Republicans in the Underwood
convention. He was on the floor when
Ben Butler was introduced to the body
and refused to take his seat at Under
woods bidding. Finally. having given
utterance to some vitriolic remarks,
he and the other Conservatives march
ed out of the hall, and were followed
by several of the more decent Repub-
licans.
In those days the name of Eustace
Gibson was well known all over Vir-
ginia, and he was much admired for
his daring and determined opposition
to the Republican majority. Later he
moved from Giles county, in this
State, to West Virginia, where he was,
elected to Congress twice. 1t seems to
us, too, that he was once Speaker Of
the West Virginia House. OF late he
had dropped out Of politics. He was a
brother of Col Catlett Gibson, who al
so was prominent in the minority
party in the Underwood convention.
