committee of adjustment for the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers for

At the Station Farm.

The visit to the experiment fam IA
full of interest, shown by the fact that
promptly at l o'clock the delegates
and visitors were on hand at the Union
Pacific to make the trip. All the auto
mobiles and carriages in town were
pressed into service by the committee
and the guests were soon viewing the
sights. The fifteen pens of range
ewes, each with a full-bred buck, ex-
cited the greatest interest, and Prof.
Towar pointed out the merits of each
ram in turn and what was expected
of the different breeds. Many of the
sheepmen were not content simply
with a look. but climbed the fences
of the pens and made personal exam
nations to their own satisfaction.
Moved Very Smoothly.
The King Bros. company's showing
also drew forth very favorable COM
ment, and the other exhibits of ewes,
wethers and lambs of different grades
and fed il various manners received
their share of inspection. All the uni
versity authorities were on hand, as
well as the experiment farm instruc.
tors and employees to act as escorts
and answer questions, so the entire af-
fair moved very smoothly and the prac.
tical sheepmen present saw and learn.
ed what they wanted to.

BRYAN BUSY IN
THE CAPITAL CITY
Will Deliver Many Addresses
There.

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 15.-Prac-
tically all indianapolis will join tomor-
row in greeting and hearing William
Jennings Bryan, who comes to this
city as the principal figure Of almost
a dozen important affairs, covering
period of two full days. Politicians
and church folk will divide between
themselves the time of the Commoner.
and citizens generally will have nu-
merOus opportunities of seeing and
hearing him.
The primary object of Mr.. Bryan's
coming to indianapolis was 10 address
the Big Meeting" OF the Young Mems
Christian association. but when it was
learned that the Nebraskau was to Wis
II the city many other events were
planned. Democrats wished TO enter
tain him at d banquet, ministers wish
ed to hear him on theology. congrega-
tiOns of prominent churches wished TO
see him in the pulpit, prominent citi-
Zen5 wished to entertain him at their
homes and hundreds OF plain people
demanded that they be allowed to
greet him. AS Il result of this COM
bination Of wishes and demands. sew
eral meetings and dinners have been
planned.

TOWNE LONGS FOR
A LUCID INTERVAL
Democrats Are Mad to Sit Up
And Take Notice.

Washington, Feb. 1I&'ormer Rep
resentative Charles A. TOwne of New
York. in an interview today said:
Il dissent with emphasis from the
present tendency Of many democratic
leaders to represent the president as
typical democrat, and the disposition
to commit our party to the program OF
continuing Rooseveltism. 1t is. in
my opinion. not only wrong, but un-
wise as a policy. 1t is both bad pa
triotism and poor tactics. 1t surren-
ders the advantage of party initiative
and abdicates the historic character
istic and beneficient doctrines of the
organization. l believe the people are
ready to welcome a president who
would be content to enforce the laws.
without seeking also to enact and in
terpret them. believe in short. that
it would be both patriotic and polite
for the democratic party to promise
the nation a lucid interval OF consti-
tutional government"

MAYOR MAKES GOOD
MATRIMONIAL BUREAU
Boehne of Evansville Gets
Many Letters.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 15.-The mail
of Mayor John W. Boehne, of this
city, is loaded every day with letters
from men and young women, who de-
sire to be married. This grows out
of the fact that a few days ago Mayor
Boehne received a letter from a farm
er in Colorado, who said he wished
the mayor to- get a wife for him.
There are plenty of girls in Colora-
do he wrote. but | am a little bit
particular and desire an Indiana girl.
They are the best brand
Mayor Boehne gave the letter pub
Icity and since then he has been wOr-
ried by the number of letters that
have come to him in regard to matri-
mony. In one day the mayor received
fifteen letters from girls, who said
they would be gid TO accept the hand
of the Colorado farmer, as he was so
good as to compliment the Indiana
girls. The mayor says he wishes it
distinctly understood that he is not
running d matrimonial bureau.

IN NATIONAL CAPITAL
CONGRESSMAN Sims Makes a
Few Charges.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The charge
that a reign of terror exists in the city
of Washington was made in the House
of Representative today by Mr.. Sims
of Tennessee. He referred 10 the rob
berry of a woman last evening in front
OF the British embassy, and it was
the twenty-first o1Fuch crimes com
mitted in this city since September
last He denounced the police force
of the city and referred TO the fact
that although there was within quick
call by telephone a regiment of cav
airy and regiment of marines, their
services had not been enlisted to run
down the criminals, who, he said,
were as a rule, negroes.

Claim That WashIngton's
Birthday Is Not a Legal
Holiday and Steps Will Be
Taken to Test the Law.
CLAIMED THAT THESE ARE
NOT LEGAL HOLIDAYS.
Dealers Claim That the Police
Have No Right to Make
Them Suspend Business
Attorneys Opinion.

It was stated last evening that in
the event the police make an effort
to close the saloons in this city next
Saturday, which is Washington
birthday and, under Prosecutor Jes-
sup's construction of the law. a legal
holiday, the saloon keepers will take
steps to test the law.
Since the action of the local au-
thorities in compelling the saloons to
remain closed on Wednesday last.
LincOlns birthday, several saloon
keepers have consulted attorneys and
have been informed that under the
laws of the state. neither Lincoln S
birthday or WashingtonS birthday
were legal holidays and that the po-
lice had no right to compel them to
suspend business on either of these
days.
Last Wednesday an effort was made
by the temperance people in lndianap-
oils to have the authorities there close
the saloons City Attorney Crate
Bowen was consulted on the matter
by Chief Metzger Of the police depart
mcnt and Mr. Bowen stated that the
authorities would have no right to
close the saloons on that date or on
Washington birthday. He said that
a decision Of the supreme court of In
diana covers the question and makes
it unnecessary for the saloons to
close on either date. Under the acts
regulating the sale OF intoxicating
liquor, he said, Christmas, New
Years Day, Memorial Day the Fourth
Of July and Thanksgiving Day are
specifically named as legal holidays
and the decision of the Supreme
Court was that only those named
shall be enforced holidays for IL C sa-
looms. This action Of the cOu. oc-
Cured at time when MemOria. day
was not one Of those named, 1t oaV-
ing since been named by an amend
ment to the statute.
