The maid led the way to the reception hall and asked him to be seated Ho looked about with interest at the bric a brac rare bronzes and other ornaments The maid suspicious but polite found a seat at a

markets in the coun try with a greater acreage markets where the receipts are larger but none so well tinder roof and so nicely kept The square where the market house now stands was in tiie early days of this city a vacant lot Even then gardeners and butchers'went there and under tem porary: shelter which they provided for sold provisions Later a frame house was built and In 1885 Tomlinson hall was erected and the ground floor was rented to market people The city grew rapidly and the space under Tomlinson hall was not large enough to accommo date the throng of shoppers An addition was built a fexy years ago but it was also outgrown and 'last fall two other build ings were erected' by' the city making the entire square an inclosed market The municipal government has charge of the market James McClossin is now market master' with a corps of assistants The place is kept thorouglily clean and all purchasers are' protected as perhaps at no other store in the city Each morn ing the meat is inspected before put on sale No vegetables are allowed to be sold unless in the best of condition There used to be some features of the market which were a decided nuisance but these have been done away with The enormity of the amount of vegeta bles and meat sold yearly in the market can hardly be imagined Steak and po tatoes are the most common articles sold The annual sale of these two articles if it could be gathered together at would furnish a meal for every the United States and It would sary to use toothpicks after the finished The potatoes sold annually if they could be laid endways would form a con tinuous line from New cisco and back from the Pacific coast to Indianapolis If all the market in a year were piled one top of each other they would make columns each as high as the monument One can get most anything he desires on market Stands under the following heads are found on the market master's book: Vegetables meats fish flowers dry goods groceries candy fruits live poultry dressed poultry pastries knick knacks and butter and cheese The market is kept open on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday The best day of the week is Saturday It is estimated that more than 40000 people attend mar ket on a Saturday Christmas is the biggest market time of the year by all means Then each stall owner tries to outdo the other fellow in making his place look last was utes bama street side Many of those who attend market are mere sightseers class of people 'nights There thieving which largely eliminated of late by the police de partment which keeps several officers and two detectives on duty there Some persons go to market with the intention of beating the stall owners Their trick is to say they gave a large piece of money in payment for what they bought and de mand more change than they received Old marketers avoid trouble of this kind by letting purchase money lay in sight until they have made the change The market brings the city a good sized revenue All stalls are rented They vary in price according to their location Last year the receipts amounted to $16 81396 A conservative estimate of persons who drop out Bions of law dentistry and medicine after having fitted themselves for tiie practice of them is placed at 25 per cent in each profession It is true too that very fre quently the pep cent will reach 40 in the second named science Dr Merle Pritchard a regularly graduated dentist who since his gradua tion has traveled a great deal among as salesman for a well known dentrlfice says that aside from the gen eral reasons why men do not succeed in any profession the dentists have more difficulties to overcome than the run of "professional men the first said he must be a mechanic as well as a Ogist Inhls line He must not only know what is the matter with a medical standpoint but he stand the art of repairing material nature Here 4s a tion I have a customer who was at one time a blacksmith and a mechanic of the highest order Withal he was a bright fellow and with a slight knowledge of the pathological side of dentistry he opened office and is coining money be cause knows how to make teeth with which people can eat When he has a case that baffles him he calls a profes sional brother in and learns what to do a young student just out of col lege finds that he is neither a mechanic nor a good tobth doctor so he gets dis couraged and quits There are many reasons of course but I consider the above as being the most my said Dr RW Gar stang speaking of the subject relative to Physicians "from 35 to 40 per cent of the graduated doctors leave the" profession after the first year It 'is because they haven't the money to hold themselves up with until they can establish themselves Many of our most successful physicians owe their success to the fact that enough money was provided them from some Recent Years Has Materially Lessened the Income oj the Individual Stall Owners PAGE THREE Uni Bass sustained a slight peace prevailed the Tul nuthoritles got in with some Ono lawsuit against the Monon railroad nett: Bass $500 in a judgment for damages for the railroad's failure to take care of him as a passenger Everything ran along smoothly until the summer of 1891 Then It broke out again Henry Tow was going Into his pasture from tho road one day when he was shot from ambush His chin was carried away and a surgical operation to remove the lower jaw bone was neces sary Curt Bass was arrested for the crime It was shown that Henry Bur ton who was implicated in the last Bry antsville affair as a pearcniakor had

stop tn a stair way in Mitchell searching for some clothes that had been stolon from him Moore tho marshal and a cousin of Bass shot him from behind eight or nine times and then said he mistook him for a burglar Bass and Moore were tried during the same term of court tho former for as sault and battery with intent to murder Tow ami tho other for his murder Bass's Jury was out three days but it finally re turned a verdict of guilty and gave him four years at Jeffersonville Tho follow ing day jury found him guilty of murder and sentenced him to seven jears Both men were taken to prison on the

laborer employed on the Bass place mimed Gabe Moffatt at him from behind a shed Henrj pulled his revolver atjd started for Mof fatt When he opened the gate Bass and his wife appeared and Bass used a shot gun Tow went homo with his clothes full of buckshot but not wounded or a year afterward the court was engaged steadily with criminal litigation growing out of the affair The various belligerents pushed the charges against their enemies and so it continued Bass robbed Tow's still house or suspected of having done so The bery brought out a lot of stoiles and caused the federal Indictments While
