8 THE FORT WAYNE WEEKLY GAZETTE: THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1895. Highest of all in Leavening Latest U.S. Gov't Report Royal Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE BABY ACT. Resorted to by the Governor in Regard to the Famous Custodian Bill. Attempt to Get in a Stump Speech With the Secretary of State, But Both He and His Private Secrotary Make a Lamentable Failure.

INDIANAPOLIS, March the end of the fifth day of. the adjournment the legislature all bills reserved by the governor at the close of the session must be returned to the office of the secretary of state to be filed. During the riot on the closing night, the custodian bill which caused the trouble, disappeared. Governor Matthews could not return it to the secretary, with other bills and in his official statement giving his account of the riot to-day, he attempted to file his reasons with the Republican secretary of state. That official refused to accept it, fearing that it would affect the litigation which will grow out of the complication.

The statement was accompanied by a veto of the bill. In his official statement the governor says: My secretary, in performance of his duties, was intercepted on the way between my office and the house of representatives by a mob, who violentlyrassaulted him and sought to prevent and obstruct him from delivering a message of the executive to said house of representatives. If he had not been molested and te perform his duty, he would bave returned the bill with such objections to the house of representatives, prior to 11:50 p. and within three days, Sunday excepted, from the time of its receipt by me. I am credibly informed that notwithstanding the force employed to prevent- his entrance hall representatives, he, at 11:58 p.

called the attention of the speaker and of said house 'in a loud voice w. three. times, 448 message from the governor." I am strongly of the the bill with the veto was returned to the house of representatiyes in due time. But to make certain of the matter, and waiving my constitutional right, I here repeat the objections to said bill on the terms hereintobefore stated. I am now unable to return the said house bill 132, and have no knowledge of its whereabouts or condition.

I inclose herewith the statement of my secretary relating to the attempted interference with the discharge formance of of his such duties duty. and And 'his I the honor to be respectfully yours, CLAUDE MATTHEWS, Governor. With the statement is the official report of Secretary King from whom the bill was taken in the riot. It is as follows: DEPARTMENT, INDIANAPOLIS, March 16, 1895., Hon. Claude Matthews, Governor of Inciana: SIR-I have the honor to report in obedience to your instructions that at 11:45 o'clock on the evening of Monday, March 11, 1895, left my office to return house bill No.

132 with your objections thereto, to the house of representatives; that upon entering the elevater to convey me to the ball of representatives, I was forcibly detained and imprisoned against my will inside the elevator for several minutes. Finally extricating myself from this detention at great risk to health and life, I was with force and violence by a mob, several members of the house of representatives whom I recognized participating therein. obstructed in "my way to the hall of the house of representatives. The doors were locked and barred. and some little time W88 consumed in getting onto the floor of the house.

When I finally ined entrance to the house it was 11:53 p. by the clock in the house and verified by a number of watches in possession of persons present. At the time specified above I caught the speaker's eye and announced in lond voice several times, "a message from the governor." There was at this time great confusion and the bill. with your message was forcibly taken from me in the immediate presence of the speaker and house of representatives, and what became of it I am unable to report. I hare the honor to be respectfully yours, MYRON D.

Interesting Story Connected With the Reputed Latest Will of Senator Fair. SAN FRANCISCO, March now turns out that the reputed latest will of the late James G. Fair was left in the charge of Mrs. Nettie L. Cravens, 3 principal in the public schools, who was a great friend of Senator Fair.

The will was written in the house of a Mrs. Haskins, with whom Mrs. Cravens was living, and in the presence of both witnesses. Mrs. Cravens says it came about in this way: Senator Fair had gone to visit her.

Their conversation turned to wills, and Senator Fair said that his lawyers did not seem to get the will just as he would like it. Fair made several other remarks which led Mrs. Cravens to propose that he make a new will then and there and bave her as a witness, and that he make a provision in the will for a fund for the support of school teachers who had been teaching for twenty-five years or more, to all of which the late Senator Fair agreed, and sat down and wrote the most recent document which has been presented to the courts. The reason assigned for keeping the new will so long in the background is that the custodian did not look at the date of the will when Fair died and when the old will was made public she thought it was one of later date. Governor of Charles Fair's counsel, said: Cravens was up to Sacramento in the interest of the teacher's pension bill.

I heard that she dropped a remark about a legacy to the pension fund. I sent for her and after a little she told the whole story. Mrs. Cravens was a great friend of Senator Fair, lived for years at the same hotel with him, and he was a frequent' visitor at her home. He wrote the will and gave it to her to keep."

Washington special to Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette: In the' matter of selecting a successor to Judge Taylor, a member of the Mississippi River commission, the president has not even had the case up for consideration.

Mr. Cleveland has received the indorsement of ex-Representative Bynum by the Louisiana delegation for this place, and also the protest of Representative Catchings, of Mississippi, against the removal of Judge Taylor, who. although a Republican, is exceedingly popular with people interested in the proper conduct of the work of the commission. Secretary Lamont is favorably inclined toward the retention of Judge Taylor. But a powerful attempt will be made by the Louisiana delegation in favor of Mr.

Bynum's appointment, as it is generally believed that the delegation promised their support to Mr. Bynum in consideration of his vote for the sugar bounty clause of the sundry civil appropriation bill.

It is the product of the Miller steam and gas geneaator company, of Indianapolis, and can be seen by all interested at 59 East Columbia street. A pure gas is made from water and oil, and it is controlled by valves just the same as is natural gas. The product can be manufactured for individual use or can be piped just the same as any gas, and it can "be rused for heating or illuminating, just as desired.

The cost is said to be very -no greater than that of natural gas. Thus it seems that every person may have this great commodity and not be dependent upon the supply piped from a long distance.
