THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

What do the robins whisper about
From their homes in the elms and birches?
I've tried to study the riddle out;
But still in my mind is many doubt,
In spite of deep researches
While over the world is silence deep, s.--'
In the twilight of early dawning,
They begin to chirp twitter and peep,
AS if they were talking in their sleep,
At three clock in the morning.
Perhaps the little ones stir and complain
That it's time TO be up and doing
And the mother-bird sings a drowsy strain
To them back to their dream again :
distant cocks growing
Or they tell secrets that should not be heard
BY mortals listening and prying?
Perhaps might learn from some whispering word
The best way to bring bird,
Or the wonderful of flying.
It may be they speak Of autumn day
When with many feathered roamer,
Under the clouds so cold and gray,
Over the hill they take their way
search the vanished
It may be they gossip from nest nest,
Hidden and eaf-enfolded;
For do not often hear it confessed
When a long kept secret at last is guessed,
That "a little bird has told it 90
Perhaps; but the question is wrapped in doubt,
They give no hint warming
Listen and tell me If you find out
What do the robins talk about
AT three O'Clock in the morning?

MONEY FOR R~ESURFACING

RION COUNTY COMPANY.
County Treasurer Koehne Refuses tC
Certify the Assessment
of the Litigation.

Armin c.. koehne notified City Control
Ter Breunig yesterday afternoon that he
would not certify the assessment for the
that he would hold it subject to an order
of court. A similar notice was given the
Marion County Construction Company.
The resurfacing of the avenue was done
under two separate contracts and two in
junction suits were filed in the Superior
Court by property owners on the north
end, represented by hawkins & Smith and
those on the south end by Duncan, Horn
brook & Smith, to prevent the city from
levying an assessment against the abutting
property owners to pay for the work.
The contention was as to whether the work
was repairs, in which case the city must
pay for the work, or an improvement, in
which case the propert owners would have
to stand the expense. Judge Carter held
that il was an Improvement and refused to
grant the Injunction.
The property owners, on the advice OF
counsel, paid their assessments under pro-
test. The assessment for the lower Sec
| ton of the street amounts to Il SALE. OF
this amount s14, 056.6 has been paid under
protest.
The assessment for the upper end of the
| street amounts to ST., 272l IL and of this
amount only $503. II has been paid and that
under protest, with the exception of three
small assessments on which the Barrett
law was taken.
At the county treasurer's office Ii was
stated that the money would not be paid
over to the Marion County Construction
Company, as it was intimated that the
| property owners would appeal the case to
| the Supreme Court. 1t is said that more
litigation over the matter will be institut-
ed in a few days in the Superior Court.

FARMER IN HARD LUCK.


James Alfrey. n farmer, living several
miles out of the city. was last night the VIC
tim of several misfortunes which in the
end landed him behind the bars at the po-
lice station. He came to town yesterday
to see the sights. and met a woman, he
room at the Arlington Hotel. Last night
he called at the room and the woman, who
met him at the door, suggested that they
and she did not care to light the gas. The
suggestion was agreeable to Alfrey and they
sat for some time in the room, when pres
emily she jumped up and ran out. He was
startled at first, he said, and a moment Ia
ter felt in his poke and found that he
had been robbed of a roll of bills amounting
to about $50.
In an instant he started i'm pursuit of the
thief. At 426 West Maryland street he saw
and thinking that she was the woman he
wanted he grabbed her by the arm and
demanded his money back. At about that
time the husband Of the surprised woman
appeared on the scene and took Alfrey by
the neck and, as he said, SHOOK all the
dust out of his clothes" When Combs
dropped Alfrey In the gutter he struck his
head on a brick and laid there until he was
picked up by Sergeant Leet and Patrolmen
Coulson and Brooks and taken to the po-
lice station, where he was locked up for
City Dispensary before he was placed I'm his
cell and Drs. Seaton, Cunningham and
Mackey dressed the wounds on the mans
head. At an early hour this morning Combs
had not been arrested, but the police were
looking for him.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 3.-If the pres
ent programme of Central Labor Union Is
carried out the army of unionists in La
fayette will on Labor day march through
the streets to the music of a nonunion
band. When two weeks ago a committee
was appointed to secure a band for the
Labor day celebration, an effort was made
to engage Ohlsen's band, a union organize
ton Of this city. but ii was found that
the local musicians had already accepted
an offer from the Chicago Central Union.
Then negotiations were opened with the
leaders of other bands in the vicinity and
after some delay the Chalmers Comet band
was engaged to come here. None of the
musicians in the smaller towns about here
are members of the American Federation
of Musicians. When last July the local
racing association hired the Otterbein band
to play during the Gas Belt Circuit meet,
the Central Labor Union adopted resolu-
tons censuring the race officials for en-
gaging a nonunion band and as a result
union men would not attend the races. Now
the recent action of the union in engaging
the Chalmers band. a %nonunion organiza-
ton, has become the subject of general dis
CuSSion and union men are being tWltted
on all sides. 1t is said the action OF the
committee has been condemned by the Cen
trail Union and that steps will be taken
to secure a union band for Labor day.

KOKOMO, Ind. Sept. 3.-The Kokomo

closed their fights for existence tonight.
They filed lists of Withdrawals in both

The saloons are not wasting money on this
class. however, and the crusaders claim TO
be using no money at all. in the fight.
There will be some tall hustling tomorrow
to secure enough more names to make the
remonstrances effective. The fight will be
the closest since the crusade began in Feb
ruary. Unless the temperance people get
twenty new signers they are beaten. IL the

MAN TELLS STRANGE STORY.


Harry Carlin. 221-223 West Maryland
street, was fined $40 and costs by Judge
Whallon of the City Police Court yesterday
morning for assault and battery on his wife.
Carlin some time ago left his wife and she
later rented a house at ZIG West Maryland
street, across the street from her former
home and started a resort, insisting on her
eighteen-year-old daughter staying with her
and associating with the women who were
inmates of her place. 1t was because she
insisted on her daughters presence at her
house that led Carlin to beat her, he said,
and he did ii to save his child, according
to Ills story. Carlin told a straightforward
tale and held the sympathy of the court and
all the listeners. Some time ago on account
of the wild ways of his wife ne left her,
he said, and she became the keeper of the
resort where she now lives. Carlin is the
father of two children, Gertrude, a pretty
eighteen-year-old girl, and a boy, aged
eleven. The mother since leaving home has
enticed her daughte TO her house on sew
eral occasions and has attempted TO work
her ruin. Carlin admonished his wife to
keep the girl away from the resort, but no
attention was paid to his warnings, and he
at last in a fit Of despair decided TO give
his wife the beating which he believed she
deserved. After hearing the testimony
Judge Whallon said that the woman should
be arrested and given a hearing i'm the Po-
lice Court. He said he believed Carlin was
almost justified in beating the woman. and
suspended sentence in his case. The police
are at the present time investigating the
case, and il the facts brought out in the
Police Court are proven true the Carlin
woman will be arrested and tried for EN-
ticing her ~daughter TO an evil resort.
