Blakesburg bringing with him his
bride, secured in Toronto, Canada,
Miss M. McIntire, of which the Cour-
Ter has already made note. Some
smart aleck on another newspaper, in
his write-up, attempted to slur the par

from the backwoods. The scribe

he takes up his pen. Mr.. Hough is one
of our very prosperous and one of our
most honorable and worthy citizens.
Upright, honest. young man of ex-
cellent habits, and respected by all

AFTER AN APPROPRIATION.


III. p. Rucker, special commissioner for
the Pan-American exposition, has been in
this city for several days working up an
interest in the big exposition which opens
at Buffalo on May 1. Mr.. Rucker is staying
at the Hotel English. His mission here is
to get the Indiana Legislature to pass a
bill making an appropriation for an In
diana building at the exposition and pro-
viding for the appointment of commits
sioners TO arrange for an exhibit of In
diana products similar to that made at the
Columbia exposition.
Mr.. Rucker said last night that the
measure will probably be introduced this
week. He thinks an appropriation of $751;
Do or 100000 Will accomplish more at the
Pan-American exposition than the money
that was expended by Indiana in making
an exhibit at the worlds fair.
This exposition is confined TO the West
ern hemisphere" said Mr.. Rucker last
night, land since the Spanish-American
war the people of South and Central
America have taken a new interest in the
people of the United States. For this rea-
son think all the States should make an
effort to have a creditable exhibit at
Buffalo, because the people of these coun-
tries will be there to see what we have
got" Mr.. Rucker has visited Iowa, Min
nesota and the two Dakotas on a mission
similar to that which brings him to this
State. Iowa has no session of the Legis-
lature this year, but will draw on the
agricultural fund to make exhibit. A
bill will be introduced in the Minnesota
Legislature this week and one has already
been introduced in the Legislatures of
North and South Dakota.

SHOOTING in THE STREET
A. j. COFFIN USED AS A TARGET BY
CHESTER WALKER.
Both Men Placed Under Arrest by
the Polfce-Cause of the
Encounter.

Another street shooting ARRAY occurred
in the city yesterday and like the one of
Thursday terminated fortunately for the
participants, though yesterday some in
juries were inflicted.
The shooting occurred at Twentieth
street and College avenue about o'clock.
Chester Walker. the son of w. f. Walker,
q grocer at 2040 Bellefontaine street, shot
five times at A J. Coffin, a conductor in
the employ Of the street-railway company.
Three Of the shots took effect. One of the
bullets passed through Collins left hand.
another went through his clothing and
slightly tore the flesh of his left side, and
another went through part of his cloth
ing, infiicting a bruise on his left shoulder
stopping then in its flight. One of the bull
lets was found in the folds of his shirt
There were a number OF witnesses
When the shooting, which was preceded
by short fistic encounter at the corner
after Coffin had alighted from a car, be-
gan Coffin ran across the street, followed
by Walker. After the five shots had been
fired Coffin ran through the street car
barn and then went to the office Of Dr.
Dunlavy, at Nineteenth street, where he
was found by the police while his wounds
were being dressed Walker ran through
the alley and stopped first at Porter's
feed stable. where he remarked upon en-.
terfng: We'll, it's all off with me-"
He drew the revolver he had previously
used from his pocket and held st to his
bead, declaring that he might as well kill
himself. Someone said: ''well, let 'er go,
Chester" whereupon he put the pistol
back into his pocket and left the stable
While Captain Kruger. Bicycle Policemen
STREET, Losh, Bray and Griffin were look
ing for him he was going down town,
where ne met young woman to whom ne
has paid much attention and she accom-
panied him to police headquarters, where
ne surrendered himself on charge of
shooting with intent to kill. He was re-
leased later on bond of 81, 600 furnished nv
his father.
Walker said he knew certain things
about Coffin who was paying some atten-
ton to young woman, living at Cornell
avenue and Twenty-fifth street, who was
slso one or his friends ana h. deemed II
his duty to make the fact known to the
girl. He did SO and on Friday Coffin he
said. was snubbed by the girl. He met COT
fin yesterday morning near the Union Sta
ton. at which time Coffin struck hin, sew
eral times over the head and threatened
to administer more severe beating the
next time they met. Yesterday afternoon
he claimed, he was standing on the cor
per waiting for car when Coffin got off
q car going In the opposite direction The
fstic encounter which started at once was
followed by the shooting
Collins story of the affair was practically
the same, though he claimed that Walker
had insulted the girl referred to by Walker
while she was with him. Coffin was ar
rested and charged with assault and bat

The elections committee of the House
was to have taken up the Clinton county
contest yesterday evening at o'clock, but
on account of the failure of the Clinton
county clerk to appear with the contested
ballots, the matter was postponed until to-
morrow. The case is that of Cooper against
Skidmore. The latter is holding a seat in
the present House, having defeated Cooper
by two votes. 1t Is said that Mr.. Skid
more's attorney learning that some of the
Democratic members OF the committee
would probably be absent last night adj
vised the Clinton county clerk not to come.
The assistant clerk of the House said he
received a telephone message from the
Clinton county clerk yesterday afternoon
saying that it would be impossible for him
to appear with the ballots last night.

FRIENDS SURPRISED.
Mr.. VIII Losey and Miss EstelIe Lot
shar Married by a Justice.

Mr.. Will Losey and Miss Estelle Lotshar
were married at the home of Justice Lock-
man last evening at 1880, the event being
the elimination OF a pretty romance. The
young people met some time ago and it
was the old story with cupid winning out.
Last week Mr.. Losey told a few of his
friends that he was going to surprise them
in the near future by getting married and
the surprise came last evening. A Journal
reporter called Mr.. Lotshar, father OF the
bride. last night by telephone and asked
HIM TO corroborate the story. Mr.. Lotshar
said he was unable TO do SO as the report
was news TO him. The young couple in
vited a few of their friends TO the cere-
nlony, but il seems they omitted their i'm
mediate families.

port.
The State Fee and Salary Commission has
tees on fees and salaries from both houses,
with the hope of giving the members
better understanding OF the bill which the
commission has prepared at such great
expense OF time and money, but notwith-
standing this IL is thought an unfavorable
report Will be returned against the bill
The bill provides for an increase in the
salaries OF the State officers, and some
their constituents are opposed to the in
crease OF the salary of any officer. IL the
Dill Is passed at all Il Will probably have
TO be very materially amended.
Several antitrust bills have been intro
duced In both branches OF the Legislature.
but have been referred TO committees which
have not reported upon them. Some OF the
bills have been introduced by the majority
members and others by the minority, and
compromise may be effected by the COM
miftees which will suit the members or
both parties.

been introduced to the county and town.

which have been referred to committees
have been killed. indicating that there are

fntendents by popular vote Is looked upon
with favor and Is expected to pass.
A large number of fish and game bills
were introduced at the opening of the ses-
sion, the majority of which seek to repeal
the law permitting SEEMING. Others have
provision against nonresidents hunting in

Bills have been introduced providing for
free textbooks, to allow school corporations

of great uncertainty.

The Work Already Accomplished by
Both Houses.


Notwithstanding the fact that the In
diana lawmakers have been interrupted in
their sessions by several untoward events,
they have lost no time. and may be said
to have accomplished a fair amount of
work during the short time they have been
at the Capitol.
Altogether 245 bills have been introduced
I'm the Legislature-106 in the Senate and
l3s in the House. Five bills have passed
the House. and two have passed the Senate.
/ Probably the most important of the bills,
or at least the one in which both the
members of the Senate and the House are
most interested at the present time, is
the bill appropriating sl05.O00 for the ex-
penses of the General Assembly. The
House. acting on the suggestion made by
Speaker Artman in his address at the open
ing session to the effect that he would
ho.d up any resolution looking toward ex-
ira compensation for any employe of the
House, passed the appropriation bin with
out the usual clause providing that en-
ployes shall not receive extra compensation
except by resolution When the bin came
up for passage in the Senate IL was
amended by inserting the clause providing
for extra compensation on resolution, anC
referred back to the House which re-
fused TO concur in the amendment. AS q
consequence OF the disagreement between
the two houses the members and employees
of each are being kept out or their salaries
which is proving a hardship in more cases
than one.
The outlook for the passage OF the
primary election bill in its present form
is very unfavorabie. and 1t has been sug-
gested that IL II passes at all 1t viii only
apply TO the city OF indianapolis. The
members OF the House elections committee.
with the exception OF Mr.. Cotner Demo
craft, have signed favorable report on
the bill. but Mr. Cotner has declined e

Release of Convicts.

Senator ]. w. Fortune. of Jacksonville,
will introduce a bill in the Legislature,
which, If passed, will require all convicts
released from the Reformatory on parole
to be returned to the county in which they
were sentenced. In late years Jefferson
vile has been overrun by paroled convicts.
In 1895 q complaint was made by the citi-
zens against the habit of turning loose ex-
convicts at the prison doors, and Law
was passed requiring the sheriff of the
county from which they came to return
the convicts and release them at the court
house door. This has, however. become a
dead letter
