REPORT SHOWS GROWTH. SALTZGABER IN CUBA-

Banks aiul Trust CompaniesDoing Good Business.

The report of the auditor of state relating to the bank department of his office has been issued. It show that the banks and trust companies of the state are, as a whole, in better condition than they were a year ago. The deposits are shown to be §1,077,451.82 larger than they were a year ago. The report of the savings banks also shows a satisfactory growth, and it is reported that there has been a good gain in both deposits and depositors. The services of trust companies are said to be growing more popular with the people. The Indiana bank department now has under its supervision ninetyfive state banks, five Bavings banks and five trust companies. The present provision of the state bank law in reference to the reduction of capital stock is said to be inoperative, and that when a bank wishes to reduce its

Btock, it has no recourse other than to go into liquidation and then incorporate again. As several banks are anxious to reduce their capital, the general assembly will be asked to modify the law so that the banks can do to without going into liquidation.

Peirce's Good Work.

Indianapolis Journal: Since the death of R. B. F. Peirce, late receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City Ry., the work he did in developing the line becomes more and more apparent, says one identified with the company. The elevator systems at points on the line, which have proven of great benefit to the road, were of his planning, as was the development of the coal mines along its line. The first move lie made after being appointed receiver was to get permission from the court to purchase 500 coal cars, which have been instrumental in considerably swelling the earnings of the road. Many economics were introduced at his suggestion, which were practical and at the same time did not unfavorably affect the traffic. In the selection of J. W Sherwood as superintendent he made a wise move, greatly increasing the efficiency of the train service.

A Quilting Parry.

For the Journal. Last Friday at the home of Mervin McWilliams, eight miles north of Crawfordsville, an old fashioned quilting party was given by Misses Anna and Ella Walker. As soon as the guests arrived they were conducted to the quilting room and commanded to do their best. After plying their needles briskly for quite awhile the small but jolly crowd surrounded the table loaded with tempting viands. Two finely roasted ducks with oyster dressing formed a conspicuous part of the bill of fare, and were done justice by the hungry guests. After this excellent dinner the interest in the quilting gradually gave way to gayer sports and the house resounded with merry laughter. But gradually darkness came on and forced the guests to depart, having spent one of the happiest days of their lives. A Guest.

Wingate's Hat.

The Indianapolis News says: "John Wingate has more trouble with his hat than any other man who is manufacturing senators about the Dsnsion. There is nothing particularly stylish about the hat, nor is it made out of the finest material, yet it is taken more than any hat about the place. It is not an uncommon thing to see Mr. Wingate rushing wildly through the corridors, looking for the man that had carried away his top-piece. He lost it five timss last week."

John should send home for that famous beaver hat his grandfather wore in the campaign of 1840 and which John sported in 1838. No one would 'take that hat off by mistake, and then it is a mascot.

lie Tells of the Strange Things lie Has Seen In the H'ar Oil' and.

Baird Saltzgaber, who was graduated from Wabash College last Juno, is a petty officer in the 101st Indiana and to the Lebanon Reporter he writes as follows concerning his experience in Cuba: "Upon arising on the morning of the 15th we found that we were in sight of thei'promisedflland.' It was a beautiful sight to see high hills covered with green foliage after the cold and bleak days in Georgia. A funny chill went over me when about 9 o'clock we proudly steamed past 'Old Morro' with her many guns looking sullenly down upon us. The band played, soldiers cheered and the Cubans on shore

Beemed to go crazy. On entering port we received a cannon salute from the battleship Texas and the cruiser New York. Soon we came within a few yards of the wreck of the Maine, remaining in the same position as she did a few days after the disaster. "We landed on the dock under which is 'Dead Man's Hole,' so called on account of its being 60 filthy and dirty When the regiment marched through Havana and to camp hundreds of Cubans, mo»u, women and children followed after us, crying and cheering for the 'brave Americanos The Spanish soldiers looked on in silence and never made a motion. "Oar camp is about seven miles from Havana ana one mile from Marianco. which is connected with Havana by a railroad, having trains each way every hour. Situated on a hill 300 feet above tbe ocean and nearly two miles from it wo get plenty of pure, cool air.

I remained in the city five days having our luggage loaded and sent out to camp. During my stay I had a good chance to see the city and made 6ome acq jaintances among the Spanish soldieis and officers. The officers soldiers treat us in the very best manner possible and seem glad to have us here.

He

an(

Havana is not as dirty a city as I expected, but it is bad enough. The dirt and filth is fast being taken away. The city will be clean so as one or two regiments can go in after the first of January. The greatest pest of all iB the great number of beggars in the city, begging in the daytime and sleeping on the sidewalks at night. The houses, which all look alike, are built on very narrow streets, not over twenty feet wide, and about three feet of sidewalk. Some places are very beautiful inside, forgetting the fact that the windows and doors aro barred like a jail. In the center of the houses of the better classes there is an opening in the roof about twenty feet square. Below this ia a running fountain banked around with beautiful flowers and palms. It is here that the families spend most of their time. About the oddest thiug of all is the keeping of the family carriage in the front room. There are no alleys or yards back of the houses in the city, and the only way to get their carriage in the house is to pull it in the front doors. "To-day four of us took a wagon and started to look at the country. We went about fourteen miles through a beautiful country. The people evidently had seen no American soldiers from the way they looked at us. One sees the ruins of many fine buildings on large plantations, but nearly all the large houses in the country have been burned. After we had driven most of the morning we decided to find a shady place and eat your dinner. We took aside road and soon found ourselves in the wildest kind of a place.

We found all kinds of fruit and nut treee, and three cocoanuts which weigh 75 pounds. It was an ideal spot, cool and shady and all kinds of sweet flowers, We unhitched our team and started to explore. About the first thing we did was to scare up a bunch of quails, and from that on we had plenty of shooting. As we all had revolvers I will not tell you the number we killed. Near the ruins of an old house I found in a partly filled well two stone jars, one small and funnel shaped, while the other largo and urn shaped. The Cubans claim that in these jar6 are placed the valuables of many families and then buried, but I did not find a million in mine. Upon going deeper into the woods we found two Cuban hospitals and a small band of soldiers. It is in such places that the Cubans have been in hiding, coming out for an occasional fight, and no body of soldiers could drive them out for along time, for they have so much fruit to live on. All along the roads are block houses, surrounded by deep intrenebments, and around these are four or five barb wire fences. "Wishing you ail a happy New Year I am, very sincerely,

S A BAD DOCTOR.

Mrs. Julia Willnto Fletcher l'atton Finds Her New Husband a Very Obnoxious Article.

Mrs. Julia Wilhite Fletcher Patton has returned to New Market from Terre Haute, having filed suit for divorce from her huBband, Dr. Patton. In her complaint she alleges cruel and inhuman treatment and drunkenness. Reports from Terre Haute are to the effect that she will have no trouble in getting her liberty as her husband is regarded as tbe cheapest sort of a fake She has left him for keeps, too, and has shipped all her goods to her New Market residence.

Mrs. Patton is the only daughter of the late Paschal Wilhite and is possibly the richest woman in Montgomery county. She has a thousand acres of fine land here besides other valuable property. With all her wealth she has been unfortunate in her matri monial ventures. Her first and second husbands died and with her third and fourth she has not been able to agree Her third husband was Anthony tiaughan, of New Market, a very good sort of a fellow, with whom she could not get along at all, their views being radically different. Dr. Patton Bhe married only a few months ago and

was not long in finding out that he was not only a fake doctor but a fake husband as well.

Belonged to an Indianapolis Man. Lebanon Reporter: Smith Cox visited Indianapolis last week and ascertained that the covered wagon and the team which John Eads, who stole the hides at Cra wfordsville, drove to Leb anon belongs to Sam Patterson, an Indianapolis contractor. Eads lives in one of Pattersou's houses and owes two month's rent. A week ago from last Saturday Eads told Patterson he was going to Plainfield where he knew he could purchase enough hides with which to pay his rent. He borrowed the team of Mr. Patterson and went to Crawfordsville. The rest is well known. Saturday Mr. Patterson sent his sons here and they took possession of the team.

The Ardent Divine Stirs Up Things in a Lively Manner at Valparaiso.

A special from Valparaiso says: "The citizens of this city have been considerably worked up for the past ten days over the conduct of the Anti-Sa-loon League and the manner in which it has been (lushing its crusade. The work of the league has been under the management of Rev. W. E. Story, of the Baptist church, with Rev. H. A. Tucker, of the* Methodist church, as the originator. The league has received the condemnation of the best citizens of the city in and out of the church. The work culminated in the filing of twenty-nine affidavits against druggists and saloon keepers for illegal selling of liquor. The crusaders secured a Chicago detective, who came here representing himself to be an attorney on legal business. He visited the drug stores, claiming to be sick, and induced the druggists to fix him up some blackberry wine, and then filed affidavits against them for selling in less quantities than a quart. The league also hired minorB to disguise themselves and buy liquor in the saloons, so that affidavits could be filed against the saloon keepers. The firBt case came to trial before Judge Gillett and a jury in the Porter circuit court, resulting in a verdict of acquittal for the druggistB. The other cases againBt druggists were dismissed. During the trial Judge Gillett took occasion to denounce the methods employed by the league in securing evidence, saying it had a tendency to degrade the law. Friday evening Rev. Tucker announced in the evening papers that union services of all the churches would be held Sunday evening ih the

M. E. church, when H. H. Russell, of Delaware, O superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, would preach. Rev. John L. Brandt, pastor of the Christian church, announced in Saturday evening's paperB that he would hold services as usual Sunday evening, and that he did not approve of the. work of the league. At the morning service Sunday Rev. J. B. Plemming, paBtor of the Presbyterian church, denounced the methods of the league in. no measured terms, saying he did not approve of the manner in which it was conducted and would have nothing to do with it. The dissenting ministers have all received the approbation of their congregations and of many of the leading members of the other denominations. "Another chapter was closed in the fight by the Anti-saloon League to-day when it was learned that FrankSmirft, one of the leading workers of the Baptist church, who had been acting &B a private detective of the league, was a fugitive from justice. Saturday evening he succeeded in passing several forged checks on different business houses and left on the midnight train for Pittsburg. Smith came here a few monthB ago from Cleveland and by associating with the reformers and being active in church work he secured a position in a hardware store. One of the checks was on the First National Bank of this city and the others were on Grafts, Hire & Co., bankers,
