OUT when they reached the last nam
ed thoroughfare, one of them going
north at a race horse gate, while the
other continued in westerly direc-
tion. The minion of the law, who
was Patrolman Westenberg followed
the former, and finally caught him
in the rear of the Phillips theatre.

acquaintance of couple of girls.
They at once began Kidding" the
damsels, and finally told them that
they We're bold bad burglars and had
framed up to break into the Hoosier
dry goods store. Shortly after leav-
ing their chance acquaintences the
girls met Westenberg, and told him
of the ''evil designs" of the young

STATE TO PAY INSPECTION
Republican House Members Decide on
Course They Will Follow on
Private Bank Legislation.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 81. (SpL)-
AT an early hour this morning at a
caucus of the Republican members of
the house, it was decided TO recon-
mend the senate's private banking bill
tached, calling for an inspection at any
time the auditor of the state sees fit,
the cost of the inspection TO be defray-
ed by the state, instead of allowing the
bill to go through as it stands at the
present time, calling for an annual in
spection at the banks expense. Bon
clauses will be in the bill when rec-
commended. and the auditor can have
little surprise parties all of his own
in case the bill passes through both
the house and senate with amendment
attached.

As a result of a feeling which has
prevaded the Earlham college social
life, perhaps inculcated by the en-
pressions of disapproval by the facul-

it is hardly probable that there Will
be the customary riotous demonstra-
tion on Washington birthday, this
year. For many years however the
customary preparations have not been
made and if there is any display of
that it will take a saner form than
heretofore.
