years. Several complaints had been
made by people formerly living in the
house, but the source of the escaping
gas could not be located. The only
gas pipe in the house has not been
used for twelve years.

wife and three children deathly sick.
After placing them under the care OF

NICHOLSON OBJECTS
To the Pending Sunday
Amusements Bill.

Timothy Nicholson, former clerk Of
the Indiana Yearly Meeting and one
of Indiana's most prominent men, in a
communication to the Palladium to-
day strenuously objects to the passage
of the bill pending in the state legisla-
ture which legalizes Sunday concerts
and theatres.
Mr.. Nicholson says Il am amazed
that the common morals should recon-
mend such vicious bill. The recent
concert in this city on a recent Sab
bath was illegal and should have been
forbidden by our authorities as should
the one advertised for another Sab
bath Ii members of the legislature
wish to do patriotic duty they will
stand by their highest convictions on
this matter and vote to preserve Sun
day as the day Of rest
