the fndeterminate sentence as a motive for
a change from criminal ways to right living.
When il was desired to establish the In
diana Reformatory and enact in this State
the indeterminate law Mr.. Ellison, Mr..
Bickne1, Mr.. Duncan and others who were
so earnest in hat work visited Elmira more
than once and sought his advice and as
sistance.
I'm his visit at this time he sees in some
measure the accomplishment of the work
in which he has had a part. The improve
ment in the southern Prison since 1893,
when IL WIS thought fit TO be only con-
demned and destroyed, now one of the
cleaneSt, most comfortable and best adj
ministered prisons in the country, was a
surprise TO him. He had heard of the work
OF the progress that had been made there,
but what he heard was not equal TO what
he saw. The change from the State Prison
South in 1895 to the conditions prevailing
at the Indiana RefOrmatOry to-day is
marked. The hospital. dining room, power
ings are all notable improvements. The
new dollhouse Mr.. B~rockway declares TO be
the best he ever aw. His good words for
the administration were even more than
for the physical condition of the prison,
and he declares that the ndeterminate
sentence and parole laws are better exc
cuted and supervision of prisoners more
effectually carried out than in any institu-
ton in this country.
Mr.. Brockway has spoken words of en-
enlargement and advice for the bringing
of reform schools for boys up to a better
standard and for a good organization and
administrator for industrial schools for
girls and wOmen's prisons. He agrees with
us in our reiterated recommendations TO
the Legislature that the Industrial School
for Girls and Prison should be
separated and the industrial school removed
from the present site"

WIS. HAGGARD in THECITY
HE MAY BECOME A CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR.
Talk of n Monument for William
Henry INSTRUMENTATION
ut the Hotels.

William S. Haggard, of Lafayette, was
at the Denison Hotel yesterday. and made
the statement that he may decide to be-
come a candidate for senator from Tippe-
canoe county against Will r. Wood, who
represented that county in the Senate last
winter, and who, it is understood, will be-
come a candidate again.
Mr.. Haggard says he has not fully de-
cided to go into the race, but will in all
probability do so, provided it is not to be
a three-cornered contest. 1t is said that
A. o. Reser, of Lafayette, who was a
member of the last House. talks of becom-
ing a candidate for state senator. Mr..
Haggard thinks he may not be a candidate
unless it is TO be a contest between two
men. He said yesterday that he had
thought little of this matter until a Few
days ago, when some of his friends sent
for him and urged him to become a candl-
date.
1t seems to be understood in Tippecanoe
county that j. Frank Hanly is TO be a
candidate for United States senator again.
1t is said that one of his stanch friends
made the statement recently that If Mr..
Hanly lived he would be in the United
States Senate in four years from now.
1t is known that Mr.. Wood is a strong
supporter of Mr.. Hanly. Mr.. Haggard
says he will pledge his support to no man
for United States senator if elected to the
State Senate, as he desires to be free to
act as the situation presents itself. 1t Is
understood that Mr.. Reser feels the same
way.
Mr.. Haggard says considerable interest
is being taken in the proposition 10 erect a
monument to the memory of William Hen
ry Harrison on the Tippecanoe battle
ground, which is situated a few miles NORTH
Of the city of Lafayette. A citizens COM
mittee has been formed at Battle Ground
and is sending out literature on the sub
ject, 1t being the intention TO make the
matter a national affair. Representative
Crumpacker, it is announced, will introduce
a bill in Congress providing an approprla-
ton for this monument. ut is the purpose
to erect a monument to the memory or
William Henry Harrison" said Mr.. Hag-
gard yesterday. that shall be at once {
men that fought under him. The impor
lance of the battle Of Tippecanoe can hard
ly be estimated, for the result of the over
throw of TecumSeh and the tribe which In
habited that region of the Northwest ter
ritory extending from Detroit Southwestern
ly to the Mississippi, was to open up to
civilization this great section which had
been held back for more than two centuries
on account of hostility of these savages.
This was the last important battle with
the Indians in the Northwest. Republics
1t would seem ingratitude on the part of
this Republic not to remember the meal
culable services of General Harrison and
his little army of frontiersmen."

A GOOD BUSINESS YEAR.
A. c. Stern Has Visited All the Cities
I'm Three States.

A. c.. Stern, a commercial traveller for a
New York manufacturing firm. who makes
his headquarters in this city, at the Hotel
English. is most enthusiastic over the con-
dition of trade these days. Mr.. Stern sells
women undergarments and has spent the
last three months seeing the trade in In
diana, Illinois and Ohio, having visited al
most every town of more than 5000 popula-
ton, in these three States.
Il have had the biggest business this
year l have ever had" he said yesterday.
MY sales this year are double what they
were last. Business is good wherever L
have been. The farmers seem to have
money, factories are running full time and
everybody seems to have work. Merchants
have had a big fall trade and are now
buying literally in anticipation of a big
spring business. l have not heard a single
complaint from q merchant and they all
seem to feel satisfied. This year L have
not contracted q single bad debt and three
fourthS of the merchants are anticipating
their bills. AS a comparison of what the
country is to-day, in a financial way, and
what ii was a few years ago, / think L
can safely say that in 1894 / had $1,000 of bad
debts. And, by the way. the country mer-
chant is a pretty shrewd business man
these days. This Hello, jim and How're,
Tom business don't go any more. There
goods on the strength of friendship, but
that is past. Now he is as shrewd as the
city merchant and buys where he can buy
the cheapest. Things sell on their merits
nowadays. There is another thing that
might be said about the country merchant,
Of the jobber and more from the manu-
facturer."

LIGHT PRACTICE ONLY.
Indiana Preparing for n Good Game
with De PAW To-Norrow.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Nov. 26.-The
varsity practice to-day consisted merely
of running signals, as the men are still
somewhat stiff and sore from the effects
OF the Ohio State game. The men did not
show up as strong as usual, but the work
was as good as expected after such a hard
game. Railsback has a bruised leg and
Smith and Knight have not yet entirely
recovered from their old injuries, but with
these exceptions the men are in good shape
and should be in condition TO put up the
game Of their lives against De Pauw's
heavy team. Elfers was out for practice
last evening for the first time since the
in the game Thursday.
Strong precautions are being taken i'm re-
gard to handling the crowd. a strong wire
fence incloses the gridiron, and a large force
of police will be posted just inside to see
that the crowd does not get near the field.
But three representatives from each team
will be allowed on the side lines, and il is
an absolute certainty that the game will
be run off in a model manner. Two of the
best officials in the West have been Sc
cured in Sager, of Northwestern. and Gale,
of Chicago.
De PAW is to run a special train. and
with the strong interest shown here i'm the
game the largest crowd of the season is
expected.

ONE OBJECTION REMOVED.
Men Now I'm Control Must Build In
d~ianapOIfs Southern Road.

Edwin Logsdon. Of the Board of Works,
has answered one OF the objections pro-
posed by the citizens Of the South Side who
are against the Indianapolis Southern Rail-
road. To the Rev. Francis II. Gayisk, who
called at the board office yesterday morning
on business connected with the point at
issue. he declared that should the board
grant the Southern the right OF way and
other privileges ii would specify that the
road be built by the company now In con-
troll Father Gavisk had intimated to Mr.
LogsdOn that the promoters of the road
have no intention Of building Ii. but are at
tempting 10 secure a valuable franchise so
they can get a good price for their hold
ings.
The demonstrators are going ahead rap
idly on the South Side in the work of Sc
curing signatures 10 the remonstrance and
by the time set for appearance before the
board on Dec. 3 they expect TO have at
least as many signatures as were appended
TO the old remOnstrance- TIL members OF
the board are absolutely noncommittal IN
regard TO their course Of action. although 1t
is known they have individual opinions in
favor of the POgue's run route.

LOCAL AND STATE FOOTBALL TEAMS
READY FOR THE CONTESTS.
Crowd VIII witness NJ. II. H. s. and
ShOrtridge Struggle at Newly Oval
-NOtre Dame, Indiana, De PAW.

The football teams of the Manual Train
ing High School and Shortridge High
School about concluded their hard practice
yesterday afternoon for the big game to
be played at Newly Oval tomorrow after
noon. The NJ. T. H. S. practice was on the
ground at Sixteenth street and Capitol ave-
nue., while S. II. S. practiced at Newly
Oval.
There was more energy displayed in the
work of the two elevens than during any
other practice. The Training School first
eleven lined up against the second eleven
and practiced on both offensive and de-
fensive work, allowing the second eleven
to have possession of the ball part of the
time.
There was great spirit displayed in the
work of the Shortridge players, and the
followers of that school are more confident
of winning than at any time during the
season. There have been a few bets
wagered on the game with the odds in
favor of NJ. T. H. 5.
The advance sale Of seats at Huder's
drug store shows that one of the largest
crowds that ever ATTENDED q game in In
dianapOlis will witness the battle between
the football teams of the two high schools
this year.

M'GOVERN IN GOOD SHAPE.
Thinks He Is in Condition to Whip
Young Corbett, on Thursday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-After eight days
hard training for his battle with Young
Corbett," of Denver. Col, Terry McGovern
took a ten-mile run in the vicinity Of
Jerome Park this afternoon and, despite
the fact that it was freezing cold. with
a strong wind blowing, he covered the dis
lance in ninety minutes. When he reached
his training quarters he was by
a physician. who declared that the little
champion was in perfect trim for the COM
ing contest.
Several people nave informed McGovern
that in Young Corbett'' he will meet the
toughest and most rugged opponent Of his
ring career. He replied to several ques-
tions as TO how he felt: Bully, never felt
better in my life, and while / have taken
no chances and have got into the best
condition / feel very confident of the re-
suit. They tell me 'COrbett is a two
handed, swift. rushing tighter on my own
style, and i hope he Is, for then neither he
nor l will have any excuse to make when
the end comes
McGoyern tipped the scales at 122 pounds
to-day and ne said that with a road run
tomorrow he would finish UP his training
and break up camp prior to his leaving
for Hartford tomorrow afternoon. He ex-
poets 10 reach the ringside weighing not
more than 124 pounds.
Among the sporting men here there Is
very little betting being done. McGovern
hackers are offering bets of ? TO ] on their
man with few takers. Among the sport
ing resorts on upper Broadway some Of
the sports are making what they call gam
bling bets on the Denver lad. taking odds
OF 3 10 2. but the prevailing price is 2 TO 1
on the champion.
A big delegation from this vicinity will
leave for the scene Of the contest on early
forenoon trains Thursday so that the will
reach Hartford in plenty Of time to be at
the ringside when the men are brought to-
gether at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

MAY GET BETTER TERMS
ONE MEMBER INCLINED TO
FAVOR SHORT LINES.
Talk OF n Special Franchise for Each
Company-MunfcipaI Matters
of Interest.

The time that has elapsed since the in
terurban question was last formally con-
sidered by the Board Of Works has toned
down the situation in a measure and APP
p~arently simplihed II. The weeks which
have passed since arguments were heard
as 10 amount Of compensation and other
matters have helped the board TO partial
conclusions. Several weeks ago the board
TO a man was OF opinion that the terms
granted 10 the Union Traction Company
were good enough for the other companies.
Now it is regarded as certain that at least
one member believes the smaller compa-
MES should be granted more favorable
terms and he is said TO be willing TO help
them out. Another phase of the situation
which has developed is that neither the
beard nor the members OF the Council
committee takes the three-cent fare prop
osition seriously, particularly since IL is
appended to a request for entrance 10 the
center OF the city by separate rights or
way.
tee OF contracts and franchises, stated yes
terday that he would suggest at the meet
ing set for this morning t9at GonIraGts
submitted 10 the companies Tor their sig
natures shall provide for a smaller rate OF
compensation 10 the city than that specified
in the contract with the Union Traction
Company. He will recommend that the
amount be materially lowered; but viii
suggest that in case extensions are made
by the roads the tax shall be raised In
proportion.
With the recommendation of the Coun-
Gil committee II is probable that the Board
of Works may settle upon that plan. II
is IN effect that each company be granted
a special franchise with the amount OF
compensation to the city determined by the
length Of the line.
Hugh MCGOWAN. president Of the Indian
apOlis Street-railWay Company. is out or
the city, and his absence may delay the
board in Its settlement Of the question,
since Vice President Jones is understood TO
be unwilling 10 act for him.

want BETTER street-Car Service.

Persons living in the vicinity of East
Michigan street and in Woodruff Place
think they are entitled TO better treatment
at the hands of the street car company.
Through Councilman Warren they filed
complaint before the board yesterday. They
claim that since the beginning of the con-
structiOn of the East Michigan-street sewer
the company has made them ride in a
dinky car, that the connection OF their cars
with the s~tockyards line forces them to
endure filthy cars, and that the general
annoyances are unbearable. They ask the
board for relief. For the company, Vice
President Jones said the building of the
sewer is responsible for part OF the trouble,
but that ii would be impossible for the
company TO separate the East Michigan
street line from the stOckyards line.

PRESERVATION OF MAPS.
state Librarian Henry's Scheme to
Make Them Accessible.

State Librarian w. F.. Henry has begun
the work of preparing the valuable maps
in the State library for the bookbinder so
that they will be thoroughly preserved and
be made accessible. On a large table in
his office yesterday afternoon were nearly
one hundred maps which are Of great value
to the State. Mr.. Henry is marking each
map and they will be cut and pasted upon
heavy muslin and then bound in folder
form with a heavy cover.
This is not altogether an original idea"
said Mr.. Henry, but L believe it is the
first time a State librarian in this coun-
try has emp the scheme. Many ideas
have been worked out for the preservation
of valuable maps, but they have never COM
bined the scheme of making them accessible
at the same time. In Wisconsin the maps
are preserved in a large cedar case, but
when they are desired for use they have
to be unfOlded or unrOlled and constant use
will wear them out. BY FASTING them on
sections of muslin and having each map
bound in folder or book form they will be
preserved and will be ready for use at any
catalogue will be made of them and each
one will be numbered so that 1t will be a
very easy matter to gain access to them:
I'VE have in the State library in the
neighbOrhOod of one hundred old and Yalu-
able maps. They have no particular in
trinsic value, but If they were lost and we
should want to replace them we would
find that they are very valuable. A map
that is worth anything is worth a great
deal. Some of the maps in the library have
been here for years and they are handled
as if they were very precious. They are
all in a good state of preservation and by
binding them at once they Will keep for
ever. The cost Of doing the work is very
small when ii is considered how much 1t
will save the maps.
I'VE have in the library Stevens's facsim-
lie of the British headquarters manuscript
map of New York made in 1892. The map
was never printed at that time and there
were but one hundred copies made from
the original. one of which is in the Indiana
library. 1t is made in folder form and
from that l gained part of my idea of hav-
ing the STATES mans hOund.'
