to, in toto was the one that amended
and strengthened the present railroad
commission law This bill was agreed
upon by the commission and the rail-
roads, and there was no fight on it.
Shippers Bill Bone of Contention.
On the so-called shippers bill there
was a fight, and despite the fact that
the reciprocal demurrage clause was
stricken out. the shippers say they are
pretty well satisfied with the bill that
passed and was signed, yesterday. 1t
enlarges the power of the commission
incidentally, and the next two years
will show what use the commission
makes of its power.
The other measures affecting the
railroads was the bill requiring rail-
roads having earnings of $1,000 a mile
or more to install a block system over
their roads within two years after July
/ 1909. This bill came late in the
session, but it was passed and yester-
day was signed by the governor.
SO far as the general record goes,
therefore the legislature can hold its
own pretty well with those OF the
mast In spite of the fact that for
the last thirty days lt0 lNC II aAASAAOS
ard the governor were in open and
direct warfare, the bills were passed
along with a dispatch that surprised
old politicians.

Drobably too serious ever to be healed
over.
More important than this. from a
Dartv standpoint, is the break between
the governor and John c. Billheimer,
the present state auditor. This came
over the insurance agitation, and the
two contending factions are still at
white heat For the most part the re-
nulfcan organization stood by the gov
ernor and the two working together
we're able to get things done.
All in all. the house was the more
ageable body of the two. The sen
ate. time after time, tore the vitals out
of important measures only to have
them restored in the house. And time
after time. the senate. in a repentant
mood concurred in the house changes
only on the insurance bills did the
| house and senate agree to do little.

FALL GUY IN BRASS THEFT:
ARRESTED WITH THE GOODS
After Being Swindled Out of Part Of
His Share of Booty by Companions in
Crime, John Rineps Has Misfortune
to Meet Police.

John Rineps, foreigner. was caught
this morning at Stiglitz Park with the
goods on him by Officer George Han
Ion of this city, and the probabilities
are that Sheriff f. S. Carter will col
lect another "in and out" fee when
Rineps goes to Crown Point to serve
term for petit larceny. Rineps was
caught by officer Hanlon while the lat
ter was off duty and on his way to
Robertsdale. He saw Rineps hiding in
the bushes beside the street car tracks
and asked the motorman to stop the
car until he could make an investiga-
tion.
He found that the foreigner had
about twenty-five pounds of brass on
his person, which he said he had taken
from the Gibson yards last night
While in the police station this morn
ing he admitted the theft and said that
he was doing the work for two Amer
leans who allowed him the three pieces
for his share, they, however, taking
by far the largest. The police are now
also looking for the other two.

TROUBLE OVER A COW
Accommodating Neighbor Tethers
Critter, But Wants Wire Back
Bovine Butts Mistress.

The case OF Anna Hornoeusla
against George Rostvoski of East
Chicago was dismissed in Justice of
the Peace William Reiuand's court this
morning but nevertheless the friends
of both parties have taken an unusual
interest in it.
The whole trouble started on ac-
count of good natured COW (who
from outward appearances would seem
to be the last to start any thing OF a
legal nature). and because the plain
tiff and the defendent were unable to
understand each other about the dis
posal of the COW. This appears from
the fact that Anna wanted back her
cow which had been paying regular
visits to the back yard of Rostvoslxi
and incidentally breaking up his side
walk and because Rostvoski was
ready to help Mrs HornoeuskI in the
regaining of the animal
The COW paid her last visit to Rost-
voskfs yards last Sunday morning and
Rostvoski, not knowing to whom the
bovine belonged. tied her in his yard to
await the owner and there make
known unto the latter the ethics OF
keeping COW. 1t did not take long
for Anna to appear and claim tho
COW and Rostvoski, glad to rid of the
animal told the woman to take Il
away. Equally anxious TO have back
her milkgiving pet the woman pro-
ceeded to unite it. Unable to under-
stand her neighbor's language she did
not realize that Rostvoski wanted back
his wire which he had fastened about
/ the cows horns and with which he
/ had her tied to the cIothesline post.
/ Both took hold OF the wire. he for the
wires shake. she TO lead away the
COW, all the time thinking that he
wanted to retain the animal.
The jargon in the two different for
i eign languages soon led to what the
/ COW to a state of mind melting her TO
ignore all Marquise OF Queensborough
rules and in the mix up she hoisted
! her mistress into the air and in other
ways continued to butt in" Anda.
| however. never dreamed that the
rough handling could come from her
pet and was positive that the british
blows were delivered by Rostvoski,
and therefore the assault and battery
| case against him, which was dismissed
when he explained the three cornered
| round in the court this morning.

Rensselaer,, Ind. March 11.-What
promises to be an interesting case
which may end in the courts, was be-
gun last Friday when Auditor James
Leatherman of Jasper county. declared
the office of the trustee of Milroy town
ship to be vacant because w. c. Huston
the incumbent had traded a farm in
the southern part of the state for his
store in Rensselaer,. The auditor pro-
ceeded to appoint George L. Parks as
his successor, to which Huston objects
on the ground that he is still making
his home in Milroy township, saying
that if the auditors action is not
withdrawn he will take the matter into
court.

Mother and offspring are doing well,

JOY and pleasure among the employees
at the city water works this morning
on account Of the new arrivals
There are now nine wolves in the
cage but it is the intention of Mr.. Kas-
per to keep only a few of these They
are all very tame allowing their keep
er to come into their cage and pet and
feed them there. AS is customary with
him Jos Kasper, jr., stepped into the
cage this morning to feed the animals
and was surprised when the female bit
his hand. 1t was an unusual thing for
her to do and looking for the cause of
this he noticed the cubs.
The wolf who is two years old and
the two males each one year old were
originally brought from South Dakota,
They are of the common black type and
although treacherous in their natural
state they become very tame in confine-
ment.
The wolves, however, are not the
only ones that constitute the menagerie
in which this city is always taking an
interest. Besides them there are other
Quadrupeds and fowls. There is the
grounding, busy running around try
ing to make the visitors believe he

There are also squirrels, pet mice. a

miles an hour.
The train was stopped suddenly by
a Pullman porter, who discovered the
blaze. and twenty panic stricken pas
sengers, garbed only in their night
robes, scrambled out of the car onto
the right of way, where they stood
shivering in the cold as the trainmen
fought in the increasing flames.
