A SIX O'CLOCK DINNER
Was One of the Features of the Cele-
bration in Honor of the I'm
portant Event.

Tt rarely occurs that three MEM
bers of one family have the same
birthday. But such IS the ease IL the
family Of Otto Huddleston, of Dub
lin, the father, mother and five-year-
old son having been born on March
IS. The many friends of this prom
inent family decided it was all too
important an event to go by un-
Ioticed, and. therefore, planned sur
prise on the happy trio, to take place
Saturday evening.
To say it was complete in every de-
tail goes without saying. The sur
plisers came with wei filed baskets,
and one of those best o'clock din
ners was the result. Everything pala-
table was on the table, consisting of
the choicest viands of the season.
After dinner the evening was spent
very pleasantly with music, both vo-
cal an instrumental and social con-
verse. At Il late hour the guests de-
parted, wishing the happy family
many fetulns of the day.

WINTER QUARTERS
AT PERU
On the Banks Of Two Rivers, Under
Water-No Chance For
Rescue.

Peru, Ind, March %. = It IS be-
lieved that Wallace's menagerie OF
wild animals has perished in the flood
caused by the rising Of the Wabash
and Mississnewa rivers. The winter
quarters of the Wallace circus occupy
farm situated at the junction OF the
two rivers and on the opposite side
from this city. There is no means Of
attempting to rescue the Gagged ami
mails, nor Is there any way of ascer-
tanning their fate. From a hillside
half mile this side of the barns it
can be seen that the buildings are
under at least six feet of water. and
Mr. Wallace believes his valuable col
lection of animals has been destroyed
He is unable to place an estimate on
the loss, as The collection inclndes the
only litter of panthers in captivity
and several baby lions, but he says
it would be heavy.
At s o'clock last night the rivers
began to drop slightly, but not before
tI1c 4NO1
company's 5000 bridge over the
Wabash river had been swept away.
The homes Of the twelve hundred
residents OF south Peru are still un-
der water, as well as many homes in
cast and west Peru and Elmwood, be-
sides river for a distance of three
miles.
In some instances the bloodhound
people are living in the second stories
Of their homes, but for the most part
they have sought safety in the city
proper.
The c.. c. & L. railroad was un-
sble to move any trains yesterday.
The Wabash. and Lake Erie railroads
ere having no trouble at this city, but
the Peru, Wabash & Logansport trac-
ton line is tied up. Many cases of sick
ness have been reported since the
flood swept over the city, and it is
feared there will be a great fatality
among the victims of measles. which
is now an epidemic in this city. There
has been 10 loss of life, but many
narrow escanes have been renorted.

DURBIN and
HANLEY
ARE THEY IN POLITICAL UNION
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF
EACH OTHERS INTER-
ESTS?
GOVERNOR AND
SENATOR
Other Indiana Congressman Would
Like a Show.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Louisville Herald SAYS that
word reached members of the Indiana
delegation in the House of Represen-
tatives Saturday to the effect that
Governor Durbin has formed an al
lance with Frank Hanley, of Lafay-
cite whereby each will promote the
others political interests. Durbin as
pires to be Senator Fairbanks sue
cessor, while Hanley is a candidate
to succeed Durbin.
The combination, says the dispatch.
is invading every district in the state
and is creating perturbation among
other senatorial and gubernatorial
candidates
Among the former are Representa-
tives Hemenway and G. B. Lands,
who are compelled to neglect their
senatorial canvass by remaining in
Washington while congress is in ses-
sion.
Efforts are being made to induce
Mr.. Fairbanks to make a formal dec
laration of his candidacy for the Re-
publican vice presidential nomination.
The senator has been receptive can
didate up to this time IF he makes
such an announcement it will have a
tendency TO clarity the atmosphere
and perhaps enable Messrs. .Hemenwav.
Lands and others to catch up with
Durbin.

'NOTRE DANES
REPRESENT
ANSWERS THE STATEMENT
PRINTED IN THE PALLADIUM
FROM EARLHAM.
EARLHAM NOT
RESPONSIBLE
For the Thought in Feeger's Grafton,
Says President Kelly.

Mr.. Kanaley of Notre Dame, when
asked his opinion of the statement
from Earlham, In regard to the con-
test said in part:
eff Mr.. Feeger has letter Of mine
in his possession which might III any
way be construed to mean that the
contest might be transferred from
Notre Dame to Richmond, the proper
place for him to have produced that
letter was at the meeting in Indi-
annapolis before the state board.
"Mr Kennedy had the letter in his
possession at that meeting and when
Notre Dame s representatives asked
that the letter be shown to the dele
gates, he refused to read it. IL there
was anything in my letter that would
compromise Notre Dame, I asked
that it be submitted to the convention
then and there. Nothing was forth
coming and the insinuation of Earl
ham was seen to be groundless.
~ have written four letters to Mr..
Feeoer and sent him the official paper
in all Of which it was clearly stated
that the contest would not be held at
Earlham. Now that the faculty can
assume the position it does seems to
me to be the result of the decision of
the state board, and not the result of
a careful review of the facts of the
case The circular letter / sent out. I
beg leave to ask the faculty Of Earl
ham to examine. 1t will be seen that
there is no undermining and that the
letters were fair and conciliatory.
s'It is another strange fact that lhe
faculty of Earlham now attempts to
defend Mr.. Feeger after President
( ely informed us three weeks ago
that Earlham College could not hold
itself responsible for the thought ex-
pressed II the grafton. Tor the re-
naming attacks of the article of the
faculty of Earlham I will pass them
by, as they are purely personal.
In conclusion I may state that
Notre Dame was guided in the whole
affair by ideals of justice and fair
ness, and appealed to the state board
only on these grounds.
"Notre Dame as well as every 9TH
er college liz the association, was ex-
tremely sorry that the situation arose
but we believe that, inasrnuch as it
did come, the state board was actuat-
ed by Ideals of fairmindedness, JUS
tice and courtesy.
"I believe that Earlham is not act
.ng eraciolsly toward the state board,
which gave its unanimous decision.
Notre Dame would certainly have ac-
cepted the decision of the board un-
der such circumstances

SECURED s21 DOLLARS
Three Shots Fired With No Attempt
at Injury-R Robber Arrested
Arraignment.

s Last evening about $50 ihe peace
and quiet Of the Sabbath were dis
turbed by the report of a pistol, the
1sound coming from the vicinity of
ninth and Main streets. On lnvest1-
CATION it was found that the shooting
was done by Harry Afford, manager
of the drug company of the same
r.ame.
For some time past small amounts
of money nave been missed from the
store, from time to time, and the man
agement has been watching closely the
movements ef a certain party, feeling
sure that in the course of short
time he would be enabled to locate
his man.
Last evening he thought would be
a good time to do a little detective
work, and. accordingly, Mr.. Afford
and the cleik, Harry Cecil, put them
selves in hiding and abided theil time.
They did not have to wait long; for
they soon heard the sound of key
entering the lock of the side door, the
lock turned back and the tall form
Of William II. Arts. a former porter
at the store, entered, and walked
stealthily toward and to the cash
register, witt. whicE he became famil-
lar when h worked at the store. He
opened the register and took there
from about $21, pocketed the same
and was about to retire. when Mr..
Afford called to him to hold up his
hands, pointing a revolver at him.
Tt seems as If the revolver had little
terror for him; for he rushed at the
two men who were in hiding, and a
deperate life and death struggle en-
sued.
Harry Afford, who held the pistol
in his hand, fired three shots, think
ing to fri2hten the negro into sub
mission. The two men were not equal
to the strength of the powerful negro
and Mr. Green, the livery man, who
heard the shots. came to their assist
ance A great crowd soon congre-
gated and excitement ran high.
Officer Golden was called, and,
after fierce fight. landed Arts in the
city Jail The officer had to use his
club to a considerable extent before
Arts could be taken.
When he was placed in jail and
searched a key to the store was
found III his pocket, which he had
evidently stolen while he worked at
the store.
Arts IS a married man, with a
very bad name4 and lives with his
wife at 421 south fifth street.
Arts will have preliminary hear
ing tomorrow morning before Mayor
Zimmerman.

ner plead with the young man to take
her as his wife. She promises the
most submissive obedience to his will
if he will but accept her. If the young
