Tlic Coming Indianapolis Convention to l?e the Greatest Meeting of the Society Vet llelii In Iudiana.

Indianapolis News: The Christian Endeavorers of Indiana are looking forward in hopeful anticipation to their seventh annual State convention, to be held in Indianapolis October 11 to 14.

The central location, half-fare rates on railroads, the programme prepared and the rapid growth of the Y. P. S. C. E. in this State are favorable :ndications that this will be the largest convention the organization in Indiana has yet held.

President Masson announces that everything points to a most successful gathering. The entertainment committee headquarters are at the Y. M. C. A. hall. By a canvass of the church homes of the city they have provided accommodations for 3,000 delegates at a rate of 81 a day. They expect these places will all be taken. The hotels have also granted special rates. The headquarters of the State ncommittee during the convention will be at the Denison. The reception committee has in training a small army of guides, to be distinguished by the white caps they will wear, who will go out to meet all incoming trains and conduct delegates to a room in the Union station, where they will register to receive badges and programmes. They will 'then conduct them to their places of entertainment. During the convention these "white caps" will be seen at all the transfer points for the information of those unacquainted with our street car system.

The finance committee has adopted as its motto "Christian money for Christian work," and the §1,000 needed for the convention expenses is raised entirely by subscriptions from the forty-four Indianapolis Christian Endeavor societies. The music will be in charge of E. O. Excell, of Chicago, lie will conduct a large chorus of singers, who are now in training. Other features will be a "Sunshine Club," and solos by Mr. Yarnelle and daughter, of Ft. Wayne.

Tomlinson Hall will be the meeting place for the principal sessions. This will be elaborately decorated, as will also otlie Union station and larger churches. It is desired that the business houses don the "official colors" which are canary yellow and crimson. Delegates will wear the crimson badge with yellow bow, and members of the local union the yellow badge with crimson bow.

A souvenir programme is being prepared by the advertising committee. It will contain favorite Endeavor songs, half-tone cuts of the city's prominentcchurches and portraits of the 1S94 committee and of the State officers. An edition of 25,000 copies of the Indianapolis

Christian Endeavor has

been issued by the press committee to boom the convention.

Special Crap Report.

The special crop bulletin of the Indiana State weather service issued to-day says: "Exceedingly favorable %veather prevailed, cool nights and warm days. Numerous good rains at the beginning of the week put the ground in excellent condition for plowing and seeding, and much wheat and rye was put in the early sown has come up nicely, some being three and four inches high, and green. Corn is all safe from frost, most is cut and in shock it eared and filled well, and improved much the latter part of the season by more favorable weather the crop in many localities is better than expected. Tobacco, in the southern portion, is curing in the field and shed it is superior in quality and quantity. Pasturage is much improved and green again, and stock is in good condition. Tomatoes, melons and pumpkins are plentiful. Clover hulling still continues and the yield is excellent. The potato crop is lfght except in a few fields. Buckwheat is in good condition. Apples in the northern portion are plentiful, and there are thousands of gallons of good cidei

Rev. Appleby's New Charge.

Meuhuuists in North Indianapolis gave a reception in the church Saturday evening in honor of the Rev. Madian H. Appleby, the new pastor. Some interest attaches to the present transfer of ministers, as the Northwest Indiana Conference thereby assumes control of the charge. The church was originally established as a mission by the Southeast Indiana Conference.

Public Speaking.

Hon. John F. Scanlan, of Chicago, will address the citizens ol Crawfordsville on Tuesday, October 9. It will be a Republican speech but the adherents of all parties are cordially invited to be present. The hour and the place of speaking will be announced hereafter.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IKDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1894.—TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND

A NEW CHIEF.

Col. I.. T. Diekason, of Chicago, Klecteil Supreme Chief of the Tribe of lien-Hur.

The Supreme Council of the Tribe of Ben-llur held a meeting Monday afternoon to elect a Supreme Chief and a Supreme Judge of the order. A number of prominent "supremers" were present and the Council elected Col. L. T. Diekason, of Chicago, to succeed Hon. Ira J. Chase as Supreme chief, and also elected Ilon.^I: H. C. Royc^1, of Terre Haute, to succeed Dr. N. G. Smith as Supreme Judge. Both Col. Diekason and Mr. Royse are men of wide influence and means and 1.1 prove valuable acquisitions to the order.

A committee consisting of I. H. C. Royse, F. L. Snyder. D. W. Gerai-d, W. T. Brush and J. W. Stroll, was appointed to revise the by-laws of the order. The most important change will be iu regard to the insurance policy of the order. At present a sort of endowment plan obtains which makes the face of the certificate payable to the holder upon his reaching the age of expectancy. This plan will be altered so that upon reaching the age of expectancy the holder will receive a paid up certificate payable at his death. This change is necessitated in order that the Tribe may enter New York. Illinois and other States whose laws provide against that form of life insurance commonly known as the "endowment plan."

State W. C. T. U. Convention. The State convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union will be held at Indianapolis in the Robert's Park M. E. church Oct. 5tli to 9th. Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge, Corresponding Secretary of the National W. C. T. U., Mrs. Louise S. Rovends, Mrs. Katharine Lente Stevenson and others of the National W. C. T. U. will be among the speakers. Also Mrs. Charlton Edholm, Superintendent of the Press Department of the world's W. C. T. U., and author of "Traffic in Girls and Florence Crittenden Missions," will give information concerning these missions.

Indiana's first Demorest diamond medal contest will be held Monday evehing, Oct. 8. The railroad rates will probably be one and a third fare. Anyone who wishes to attend will be gladly welcomed. On Thursday, the day preceding the convention, there will be an excursion to the Hadley Industrial School for 50 cents round trip from Indianapolis to Hadley. ,This train will leave Indianapolis after the morning trains arrive there. This is not, limited to the W. C. T. U. but anyone who would like to see the school may rest assured of a pleasant trip.

Mr. Edmundaon of Bloomlngton. Wednesday Officer Enoch Bannister led Mr. W. Edmundson up before the Mayor to answer to a charge of insulting Mrs. Bob Middleton. It appears that Mr. Edmundson who hails from Bloomington is an old acquaintance of the family and calling at the Middleton mansion this mojrning remarked to Mrs. M. that she "done mighty fine when she landed such a good feller as Bob." He then proceeded to make some very derogatory remarks which led to his arrest.

Caaes Continued.

Monday in the circuit court the criminal cases against Claud Hughes and Frank Miley were continued. In each case the chief prosecuting witness happened to be absent.

Results of Smallpox

A comparison in the State health office shows that the State has suffered from smallpox about as much in the year just ending as in the previous year. The alarms from smallpox this year have been more numerous, and the cases have been more widely spread. Had the Fulton county outbreak been avoided the health officers consider that the State for this year would have been particularly fortunate. In that epidemic a child died with.smallpox and was buried before people discovered the nature' of the disease. Eight or nine deaths occurred in Fulton county.

LONG AND SHOUT TERMS.

Two Seta of Trusters to He Klected in November.

The gentlemen who were appointed to settle certain questions relating to the election of township trustees and assessors have made their report to Chairmen Tuggart aiul Gowdy. It is as follows: "The Hons. Thomas Taggart and John

K. Gowdy, Chairmen Democratic and Republican State Central Committees:

ear

Sinn—The committee to whom

were referred certain questions relating to the election of township trustees and assessors report that we have considered saiil questions and have come to the following conclusions: "The regular term of these offices begins on the first Monday of August, 18D5. It will be necessary to nominate candidates for the regular term of each office in every township, and to designate sucli candidates on the tickets as 'for the term beginning the lirst Monday of August, US'.ir.' "In addition in every township in which either of said otlices is now held by appointment to till a vacancy it. will be neccessary to elect a successor to the incumbent. The person so selected will only be entitled to hold the office until the first Monday in August, 1 S!ir. "To obviate the inconvenience and derangement of public business, which would result from a change of officers for the short time before the beginning of the regular term, we recommend that persons now holding by appointment should be nominated for the short term by the parties to which they respectively belong and designated on the ticket as candidates, 'for the term ending the first Monday of August. 18!) ),' and that no opposing nominations be made. "We think we ought to suggest that the same persons should not in any case be nominated for township trustee for both the short and long terms, by reason of the statutory provision that 'no person shall be eligible to the office of township trustee more than four years in any period of eight years.'

The plan above proposed will look toward the election of two appointed trustees in this county for short terms —Wm. Dunkle in Madison and Wm. Hampton in Franklin. Mr. Dunkle can hardly be elected for the short term, however, as he is a candidate for the long term. Indeed, in the opinion of the committee above quoted he is ineligible for the long term anyhow. If he is elected he will have to serve more than four years in eight, as he has now been trusteee of Madison for several months already.

HUKAL ROADS.

R. Evans has moved to Crawfordsville. The saw mill is not running this week.

Preaching every night at the Christian church. M. L. Edwards has returned from Thorn town.

C. C. Peterman will take to huckstering for a livelihood. Will wonders never cease? We have a Republican postmaster.

Apples are scarce in this section. Many orchards did not bear at all. Robert Evans will move to Crawfordsville to educate his oldest son.

Farmers are busy cutting corn. The early frosts cause them to hustle all the more.

Nearly all the surveyed ditches have been cleaned and the trustee is around inspecting.

Wm. Ilankins has returned from Nebraska, where he has been engaged in agricultural pursuits.

F. B. Armstrong was in the suburbs of New Ross Wednesday. He would have us believe he was after street ear iron.

Chas. Linn and Pete Eshelman were in Crawfordsville Monday, between the opening and closing of the clerk's office.

With W. G. McClure manager, and Jas. Coulter assistant, we predict for the Mace Amateur Company a brilliant career.

The Morton club excursion to Indinnapolis Tuesday drew several from this place. More would have gone had it not been for Armstrong's sale.

Clarence llobson clerked for Armstrong's sale Tuesday. The proceeds of the sale were $1,500 including 8500 for the Percheron roadster, Joha Ora.

The candidates are around renewing "auld acquaintance." Some persons have gone so far as to insinuate that the visits are of a business nature but we know better.

Wm. Misch reports that he would rather ride an earthquake without saddle or bridle than a successful broncho eruption. Girls, ask him to tell you all about his trip to Indianapolis.

By a slight mistake in painting a sign Albert Armstrong threw Mace into an uproar Monday morning. He displayed this legend: "Boots formerly 6old for ®2, now sold for $3." Several were bought at the bargain price by our citizens.

Miss^ Lena Smith entertained in a charming manner Tuesday evening. Misses Hallie Elkin and Kittie McClure were the guests at a delightful 5 o'clock tea. Harry Freeman and Ora Armstrong called later and a very enjoyable evening was spent.

Ezba Armstrong has enlarged his huckster route until it now embraces the eastern edge of Boone county, including Bowmansport and that section of the woods. He says that east of Beckville the country is settled with enterprising and well to do citizens.
