ANDERSON, Ind. April 27.-Anderson
citizens turned out two thousand strong at
noon to-day to greet Col. w. T. Durbin
and his wife as they returned from indian
apolis. There was an informality about
the homecoming and reception that
was all the more appreciated by
the standard bearer of Indiana Re
publicanism. AS the Big Four train
pulled into the station a band played
the national air, and when the face of the
honored Andersonians appeared a great
shout burst from the assembled thousands.
A hundred hands were instantly out
stretched and as eagerly grasped. Colonel
and Mrs. Durbin were escorted to a gaily-
decorated carriage. which was driven by
N. T. Burke. wagonmaster in Colonel Dur
bins regiment, and a happier man never
lived. A long line of friends and citizens.
Democrats and Republicans alike, fell in
lire behind the band and the march home
ward. which led around the public square,
was begun. Hundreds of people gathered
along the line and frequent cheers were
given Is the march proceeded. Colonel

KOKOMO, Ind, April 27.-Ansane Jane

that leader on account of his continued
friendliness to the American soldiers.

Clark's invitation TO accompany him to

RISKY ADVICE.


New York Commercial Advocate.
The educators who lay so much stress
on reading aloud as an aid to literary
study must not forget the people who will
have to listen. A literary student in the
next room to you would be as bad as a
pianist at the young and scaly stage. An
enthusiast for this form of self-cuIture
wants to know who could read aloud
Othello's dignified speech to the Senate
without becoming more dignified, or imper-
senate BrutuS without telling morally
bigger and more Brutus-iike. He also
implies that unless you read aloud you
don't stand much chance OF "a sympathetic
contemplation of the good. the beautiful
and the true" If it must come, it is going
to be very hard on all of us. We under
stand that whispering a noble thought
won't do. 1t must roll out in fine, res
onant tones, that would penetrate the
walls of the average apartment house and
very likely filter through the floor. ME
name is Norval' will come roaring through
the registers, and Mark Anthony will thun-
der up the airshaft. And while young
Smith Is becoming more Brutus-like, old
man Jones, next door, may be sinking into
savagery. If in making one person an
Othello you turn another into a Caliban
there is no net gain to the community, and
a doctrine like this must be preached with
caution and with some regard to the dens-
ity of the population per square mile.
Also some care must be taken not to re-
vive elocution in the malignant form it as
sumed some years ago, particularly in the
West. Any one who has passed through
that experience can't help feeling a little
nervous at the least sign of a return.
There were places where for months young
women never spoke a word in a natural
tone of voice. Recitation took the place of
conversation. The elocution teacher gath
cred them into classes and taught them
how TO hurl a consonant a half a mile.
Every sibilant was a whiplash. and p's
sounded like the drawing of a cork. She
also taught them the appropriate gestures
apd the reproduction of the sense by the
sound. If the poet mentioned a bird they
twittered. and If he referred to a cannon
they doomed. They acted out everything
from a bobolink to a COW, and you never
could tell when they were going to begin.
In the midst of an evening party some one
would command silence and a resolute
looking person who had been lying i'm wait
would suddenly be on a full gallon from
Client to AK or talking to a bird on the
ceiling or going down with sonorous mel
ancholy on board the Royal George. The
performers on these occasions may have
personally profted. but spiritual growth
at the expense of other people does not
rest on a sound moral basis.

bell was fatally shot this morning about
$50 o'clock by Joseph Reese. a neighbor.
The men occupy adjoining farms about six
miles northwest of Lebanon. The shooting
occurred in the public highway near the
two homes. The trouble arose over ru-
mors that had been circulated ~derogatory
to the character of one of ~Campbell's
brothers. and for which the latter claimed
Reese was responsible.
When the men met on the road this
they had a few words. Reese al
threatening language and finally threw a
stone at him which struck him in the head.
Reese thereupon drew his revolver and
fired three shots. two of which struck
Campbell. The most serious wound is In
the abdomen, the ball having cut its way
through the intestines and penetrated the
kidney.
Campbell declares that he accosted Reese
in a friendly manner and that the shooting
was wholly unprovoked. He claims that
Reese's first shot was fired after he Camp
belD had passed by Reese, and that he
was struck by the bullet when his back
was turned from Reese and while he was
walking away.
Reese gave himself up and was brought
here. The men have been ~neighbors for
over forty years and both are members of
the New Light Church. Reese is ffty-two
years old and Campbell is forty-three.
Reese was given a preliminary hearing in
the Mayors Court this afternoon and was
bound over to the Circuit Court under &c.,
900 bond, which was given.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, April 27.-On
account Of the great amount of property
being handled at the United States quarter
masters depot in this city a big improve
ment is to be made in the way of additional
buildings. The roadway which traverses
the inside of the grounds will be widened,
and the new buildings erected on the north
side of the inner court, the entrance to
each facing the entrance to the buildings
now standing. Architect S. S. Hall, of this
city. is preparing the plans. The probable
cost of the improvements will be $50, 900.
When completed the depot will be the
largest of the kind in the world.
Colonel c. r. Barnett, commander of the
depot, according to rumor, was relieved of
the command. but this is not true. AS a
member of the army board of tr~ansporta-
ton he attended a meeting In Washington
last week. at which several important con-
tracts for the ensuing year were to be let
to various railroads. He was made presi-
dent of the transportation board. His adj
ditional duties in this position will compel
his presence in Washington more frequent
ly than heretofore, and this started the
rumor that he would ~relinquish command
of the local depot.

Americas Loss from a Strike.
Engineering Magazine.

There would be certain and permanent
less TO the United States from an extended
strike of the machinists, even though the
men-to their own enduring advantage
were TO lose every point for which they
seem disposed to contend. Beyond the i'm
Mediate loss of wages to the men and of
profitable orders TO the employers a certain
and perhaps considerable amount of busi-
ness would go elsewhere never to return.
Trade, forced into new channels, is often
loath to return TO the old ones. America
was a permanent gamer by the long pro-
tracted British engineering strike. She
would be a permanent loser by similar
trouble at home. Germany. as a competi-
tor, is keener and more strenuous even
than she was two years ago. England,
awakened in every part, has been under
going a reorganization approaching almost
TO an industrial revolution. Expansion in
the machinery trades. which was won with
comparative ease by the United States
when the conditions were peculiarly favor
able to them. would be hard to hold when
the conditions were adverse-harder still, IL
once IL slipped away, TO regain from COM
petitors who now blend the best that Amer
ica's best mechanical skill has devised with
a commercial development she can as yet
but family parallel.

Chicago boys are learning a lesson that

here in an anti-cigarette league. This has
not proven successful. but the boys nave

way which promises TO prove effective.
Merchants and lawyers will have nothing
to do with a lad who smokes cigarettes,

appears for employment is Let me see

of the right hand are examined closely,
and If the stain OF the cigarette is visible

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, April 27.-This
city was visited yesterday by directors and
officials of the Fort Wayne Gas Company
and representatives of the Dieterich syn
dicate of New York. The party made a
personal investigation of the gas fields of
Blackboard, Wells and Grant counties.
On their arrival at Fort Wayne a meet
ing was held which lasted several hours,
at which 1t was decided to abandon the
project to build one large pumping station
at Mollie, five miles north of this city. In
stead, IL was decided to build two stations
with less capacity and nearer the field.
They will be right at the wells, and both
will pump to a central point on into the
Button station. The directors claim that
by this plan II will be possible TO greatly
increase the pressure over what was orig
inally contemplated. The stations will
cost $4,000 each. and have a combined ca
pacity of 100000 cubic feet. Work of
construction will be commenced just as
soon as possible. Forty new wells will be
drilled. The cost of all the improvements
will aggregate $50, 600.
