Dr. McIvee, Missionary Treasurer President Seneff of Westfield College, Mrs. West, returned missionary from Africa Rev. W. J. Shuey, publishing agent, and other prominent workers in the church were present, representing different interests of the church. Three ministers died during the year, viz: W. 11. Sherrill, D. Brewer and W. S. Atkinson. Two young men were received on recommendation from their quarterly conferences and one on his transfer. In making the appointments there were many more changes than usual. Following are the appoint ments for the coming year:

Keversel.

The decision of the Montgomery circuit court in the case of Binns vs. Dazey, which involved a claim of heirship in the estate of the late Samuel Dazey, has been reversed by the Supreme Court. Judge McCabe rendering the decision, says:

A legal relation of parent and child may be established between the man, marrying the mother of an illegitimate child, and such child, by the acknowlment of the child as his own, even if there is no blood relation existing between the man and the child. 2. It is not error for the court to sustain a demurrer to an answer to a complaint for partition of real estate when the answer shows that the deceased father of the plaintiff delivered to said plaintiff a certain note long prior to his death, and with an indorsement on said note that the amount therein was an advancement and full share of his estate to which the child should be entitled.

Will Entertain Mr. I'ntternon. When the local commandery of the Knights Templar were in Denver several years ago they were royally entertained by Tom Patterson, a former resident of this city, now the mining king of the Rockies. His cordial hospitality and good cheer have not been forgotten by the Knights and they will endeavor to reciprocate. He will speak here on Saturday and spend several days in this county and at some evening to' be fixed upon after Mr Patterson's arrival he will be given a reception by the Crawfordsville Commandery.

On To Terro Haute.

Yesterday noon a delegation of fifty railroad men from the Monon shops at New Albany arrived on the regular train and took lunch, after parading the streets with lanterns. They were on their way to the McKinley rally at Terre Haute. Later in the afternoon a delegation nearly 400 from the shops at Lafayette passed through on the Monon on a special train which was transferred here to the Vandalia. The New Albany people went down on this.

THE SITUATION.

The Indlniiapolts Ninvs Investigates the Congressional Outlook In This

t...

District.

The Indianapolis Xavs has caused a non-partisan investigation of the Congressional outlook in every district in the State and reports the following for the Ninth: "The Ninth district Congressional fight waxes warm, and many complications have arisen in the matter of the fusion of the Populists and Democrats on their different tickets in counties and senatorial districts, which indicate that Landis, Republican, will have au easy victory over Cheadle, the independent fusion candidate. "Briefly told, the fusion situation is this: In the Senatorial district of Boone, Clinton and Montgomery, the Populists have refused to agree to the Democratic nominees for State Senate. James A Campbell, the Populist who was the fusion nominee on the Clinton Democratic county ticket, has been withdrawn and the vacancy filled by the nomination of James A. Hedgecock, Democrat, who retired from the fusion Senatorial nomination, to accept this county nomination. In reality, therefore, Campbell and Hedgecock have exchanged nominations and destroyed the fusion that had been perfected between the Populists and Democrats on the Senatorial and county tickets. There are charges current among the Populists that the Democrats are covertly making bids for a trade of Bryan votes for votes for the county ticket, and the middle-of-the-road sentiment seems to be stiffening. Cheadle, the fusion candidate for Congress, is thus deprived of some of the support that effective fusion would have brought him. "A survey of the situation in Carroll and Montgomery counties, each of which has a Democratic organ bolting Cheadle, discloses that a great many old-line Democrats are following their party organs, and are refusing to support Cheadle's candidacy. They are demanding a straight-out silver Democrat nomination, and they are seconded in in this demand by many Democrats all over the district and then there are the sound money Democrats, who will nominate a candidate, while, with the exception of a light, free silver sentiment among the Republicans, Landis has the united support of liis party. There can be no doubt about the change in the sentiment on the money question being favorable to Landis and the entire Republican ticket. "If the influence of the pre&s can be counted for anything, it will help Landis, for the entire Republican press is giving him loyal support, and two of the leading Democratic papers are fighting Cheadle. "Up to this time the Democrats huve made the most aggressive campaign, so far as speaking goes. The Republicans are just at the beginning of their speaking campaign, having from fifteen to twenty-five speeches a week billed for each county, including many of their best speakers. In the list are Senator Thurston, Senator-o.lect Foraker, W. E. Mason, James E. Watson and John F. Scanlan. Bets are offered at 5 to 3 on Landis, with no takers.

Hooked His Hat.

Wednesday at the Christian church some person carried away the new hat of the pastor, Rev. S. II. Creighton. The evil intent of the one so doing was made manifest by the fact that no other piece of headgear was left in its its place. Mr. Creighton was obliged to wend his way homeward with a handerchief tied about his head.

Mrs. Bayless, of Lafayette, will give an address next Monday evening at Linden under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Everybody cordially invited to attend, A collection will be taken to assist in defraying expenses. Mrs. Bayless i6 to also give an address at Wingate Wednesday evening.

STATE SCHOOL FUNDS.

The Amount anl tho Disposition Made of Ttiam According to Superintendent of Public Instruction Oeeting's Keport.

The school funds of the State, according to tho report of Superintendent of Public Instruction Geetiug, amount to about 810,000,000. This includes 8140.000 known as the college fund and 8400,000 known as the permanent endowment fund. These two funds are in charge of tho Auditor of State and are lent under the law at 0 per cent, for the college fund. "Both funds are now all out," said Deputy Auditor of State Hart. "There are always applications waiting for a chance at this money. I juBt had an application tor 82,000. The college fund is lent in sums of 8500 or less and the endowment fund in any amount, but we prefer small amounts, as they are more easily collected. The security is land at 50 per cent, of its cash value, and we do not take the estimate of others. The total of applications now on hand is about 830,000. Tho Stute makes a plain, ordinary note, taking its chances as to getting its money back in money as good as the kind it lends

I he rest of the school fund is in the iiands of county auditors, and is lent by them. The State holds each county responsible for principal and interest at the rate of 0 per cent., on the money, whether productive or not, it sometimes happens that the boards of commissioners use the money which is idle instead of borrowing. As a general rule, however, this money is used for temporary purposes, anything -requiring along time loan being available, at a cheaper rate of interest.

The schools of the State derived in interest on the common school fund 8222,208.04, according to the report of of the superintendent for 1894. It is several thousand .dollars larger now. The school fund of the State from various provided sources increases 5575,000 a year, which must be put at interest as soon as received. There is now a demand for all the money in every county, owing to the general stringency. State funds can not be withheld from use as private funds are. The increase, however, will not be so large hereafter, as with the current duplicate the tax of one half of 1 per cent., authorized for school purposes thirteen years ago, ceases. The Indiana school fund includes 885,000, derived from the saline fund, a fund growing out of the sale of saline springs sad land set apart for educational purposes by the grant of statehood in 1810, The fund derived S537,50.!.05 from the distribution of certain surplus money by the general Government in 1837. This is nominally subject to recall at any time. The bank tax fund of 1834 yielded 880,000, and the sinking fund provided in the same year produced as a basis of the school funds revenue of the State §4,255,731.

The Famous Henshaw Cage .Revived. The story is abroad that at the recent Methodist conference held at liivansvilie a number of persons appeared to be in possession of certain facts connected with the Hinshaw murder case that have hitherto been kept from the public. This story embodies a confession made by Hinshaw immediately after the murder to a lawyer, who had been a college mate, and whom he wished to retain for his defense. After hearing the statement from Hinshaw, this lawyer advised the prisoner to make a clean breast of the affair to the judge, to plead guilty and trust to the extenuating circumstances to induce the court to give him a comparatively light sentence. Hinshaw, it is said, was at first in the mind to accept this advice, but later concluded to make a defense. The lawyer to whom he had made his confession did not appear in the case.

Hinshaw's objection to making this confession to the court is said to have been not wholly from fear of punishment, but for the reason that he did not wish to drag his wife in the case as having attempted his murder. Beside this having had time to think the matter over, he felt that he could contrive a storv that would make his conviction almost impossible.

The story had such weight with the conference that Hinshaw's name was finally dropped from the rolls.
