Although we are still in the middle OF

might almost say-a trip through the
shopping districts viii head MS to be-
lieve that the spring and summer are
not very far distant. The majority Of
our large dry goods stores already have
tempting array OF light dress fabrics
in their windows and on the counters.
and the wise woman who has the neces-
sary cash is iourneying around through
the shops and selecting what she wants
in the way OF goods for summer dresses.
The early part OF the season is the
very best time to make selections. Now
the stock has not been picked over and
one has the choice Of the pretticst de-

idea seems 10 be anything so it's

stripes. There are big stripes and little
stripes. broad stripes and thin stripes;
they are placed at a great distance
from one another, or they are placed at
a smaller distance; but just so there's

In this may be found the proof that

than any Of her predecessors. The in

designers has been taxed to produce the
beautiful effects. and the result is really
beyond comparison. One OF til most
beautiful things in the way Of no sslties
is the material made TO resemble HOni-

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT
HEALTH BOARD HOPES TO SECURE
APPROPRIATION of $4,000.
If the Ordinance Is Not Passed the
Position-Investigat Tonight.

Mayor Bookwalter mas called a special
o'clock The meeting is to receive a spe-
cial ordinance appropriating 5000 to re-
plenish the contagious disease fund of the
Health Board. Unanimous consent will be
necessary In order to pass 1t without refer
ence to a committee and another meeting.
The administration is led TO believe that
the opponents of the appropriation, in
Guiding the solid Democratic minority, will
withdraw opposition in view of the un-
avoidable consequences of another refusal.
The Council refused last Monday night to
make this appropriation.
If 1t is not made to-day the city will be in
humiliating situation. The contagious dis
ease fund will be exhausted by Thursday
and the Health Board can go no further in
it's work of stamping out smallpox. There
are fifteen patients in the contagious dis
ease hospital and a number OF guarantees
are being maintained in the city. These
will have to be abandoned by the health au-
thorities and an appeal made to the State
Board of Health, which, under a law passed
by the last Legislature, Is empowered to
act at the expense of any municipality that
refuses or neglects to perform it's duty in
regard to contagion and pestflence. The
Health Board will feel deeply Inundated If
the city, by the obstinancy of the Council,
is forced to become the ward of the State
at a time when its financial ability Is un-
questioned The Board has shown the
Council all its expenditures this winter in
caring for smallpox. Even though there
may have been injudicious expenditures in
the eyes of some councilmen, it is not ex-
pected they will force the city to call on
the state board for help.
Secretary Hurry, of the State Board of
Health, has not returned from New Orleans,
where he went to attend the convention OF
physicians, but is expected to return to-day
or tomorrow.

DROWNED in THE RIVER
ALBERT YOUNT'S FIRST SWIM OF
THE SEASON FATAL.
The Lads Mother Was Not at Home
and May Not Know Until To-
Day that Her Son Is Dead.

Albert Yount, fourteen-year-old boy who
lived with his mother at 913 Dreier place.
was drowned IN White river at Brush street
while in swimming yesterday afternoon.
Young Yount. a bright-faced. manly little
fellow. with number of his playmates, de-
cided to take the first swim of the season,
and the boys stripped off everything but
their trousers and went in, each boy dar-
ing the others to swim out farther. Young
Yount went out into the deep water, and
was seized with cramps. or became ex-
hausted. and sank without a word to warn
the other boys that he was unable to get to
shore. His body was found by the other
boys, and was taken to the city morgue in
the City Dispensary ambulance. in charge
of DR.. Crockett.
The police went to the home of Mrs.
Yount and found that she had left early In
the afternoon, signifying her intention of
going to Military Park with some friends
who wished to attend the Red Mems cele-
bration, and had not returned home. Her
neighbors thought she intended to spend
the night with her friends, and did not
expect her home before some time this
morning. The present whereabouts of the
boys father is unknown, IS he and his
wife are separated, and it is said he has
left the city. The body was turned over to
the Johnson-Hassler Company for burial by
Coroner Tutewiler.
Jimmie" widows. a twelve-year-old boy
who lives at S24 Harrison street. said he
was in swimming with the other boys, and
saw young Yount swimming out towards
the middle of the river, and then saw him
sink. He called to some of the larger boys
who were In the crowd, and they swan out
and brought the body to shore. Coroner
Tutewiler made every effort possible to
locate the boys mother last night, but
after a fruitless search decided that moth
ing more could be done until morning, when
Mrs. Yount would probably return home

Mat Clayton, colored man residing at
523 Roanoke street, was arrested early yes
terday morning on a charge of assault and
battery and is now being held at the police
station as fugitive from justice. 1t de-
veloped after the arrest that Clayton was
out of the state prison at Michigan City

violations of its terms.
Clayton is a notorious character In and
around this city and has served two terms
in the penitentlary. He still has eleven
years to serve of his last sentence, which

tiles are that he will be returned TO Mich

WILLIAM II. SEWARD.
HUMORS OF WAR,
Some of the humors of war will bear
repeating. Whenever our army had
achieved a great victory. we jubilated.
Bonfires would be built, tin horns made
ear-spliting music. whisky and speeches
flowed in torrents. Often after We took
Richmond the next morning would bring
the humiliating tidngs that the report
was hoax. What a sorry looking lot
were the leading citizens that next day!
remember of being announced for
speech one night at some street corner and
Of finding another OF my name-maudlin
drunk-upon a dry goods box making my
speech to the hooting and jeering crowd.
One day two rival sets of men, one OF
which / was a member, were raising COM
panies. Our blood was up and We said
hard things about each other, with the re-
suit that l was arrested by the United
states marshal upon a charge of 'discour-
aging enlistments.' AT Indianapolis, before
being put behind the bars / asked to see
the Governor, Morton. He took in the sit
uatfon at a glance and said Lieutenant,
go right straight back and fill UP that COM
pany just as soon as you possibly can. The
result was that accuser and accused all re-
turned upon the same train. Years after
wards-when everybody was dead, Mr..
Pratt's executor handed me a telegram
indorsed From Baldwin, in Limbo.
There was a constant succession of I'M
speakably sad scenes all through those ter
rible years. We all of us used to chant in
an underbreath When the cruel war is
over. Every household was in mourning.
Every day sad file of soldiers with arms
reversed and drums beating its dead march
wound Its pathetic way to the graveyard
and fired its farewell volley over the grave
of dead comrade. At one time there were
only six men left in one of our most popu-
lous Cass county townships.
"One name, during those days, lowered
above all others and that was Morton. An
intellectual giant, his will was equal to his
brain. He was practically ubiquitous-as
much in the front and upon the firing line,
apparently, as in the rear. To this great
soul Indiana owes a debt of gratitude which
she can never repay. Without any exag
geration whatever he seems to have been
a man raised up by God for the crisis. He
was and is really the greatest man that our
beloved State ever produced.
