DR. W. P. KANE.

Talk of His Succession to the Presidency of Wabash College.

The Indianapolis

News

last Monday

publishes an extended article forecasting the election of Dr. W. P. Kane to the presidency of Wabash College. It would not be at all surprising should this forecast have fruition in fact for it is well known that Dr. Kane is.not only the only man so far considered but is a general favorite. He Beems to be the logical successor and is a man splendidly equipped for the position. If he is elected and accepts it is not to be doubted that Wabash will advance steadily and surely. The

New'a

article

is as follows: "Dr. G. S. Burroughs will retire from the presidency of Wabash College early in the fall term to go to Oberlin, and the friends of the institution and the Presbyterians of the west are much interested in the question of the succession. When Dr. Burroughs resigned last June the board of trustees appointed a committee composed of the Rev. Dr. M. L. Haines, of this city, and Orpheus M. Gregg and Albert D. Thomas, of Orawfordsville, to cast about for a suitable man for the vacancy. The committee as a whole has done little so far, as Mr. Gregg has been in Europe all-Bummer and Dr. Haines has been in the east for some time. "However, there has been a good deal of correspondence, and the matter of the succession may be said to be assuming form. A number of the Indianapolis alumni believe that the honor will fall to Dr. W. P. Kane, the president of the Winona Assembly. It is said that the faculty and the Crawfordsville alumni and friends of the institution generally favor him. His name is understood to be the only one now being considered, and it is regarded as not at allunlikely that on the return of Mr. Gregg from Europe the committee will call a special meeting of the trustees and recommend Dr. Kane's election. "Dr. Kane was once before elected president of Wabash, but, owing to a peculiar combination of circumstances, was forced to decline. When Dr. Tuttle retired fron? the office in 1892, the trustees chose D.-. Kane to fill the vacancy. Only two monthB before he had assumed the pastorate of the Presbyterian church at Bloomington, III., and so vigorous a protest was made by his congregation to his leaving that he reluctantly declined the presidency. While now at the head of the Winona Assembly, the ties are not so binding as to hold him, and it is thought that he will accept the presidency of Wabash, should it again be tendered him. "Dr. Kane is fifty-one years old, and is in the full vigor of his manhood. He is a man of powerful physique and strong address, and has a way of impressing himself favorably on all with whom he comes in-contact. He is a good business man, and though he is a pulpit orator of uuuBual ability, his work in the ministry has been peculiarly signalized by business success. He is extremely popular with young men, and enjoya the confidence of the older heads. He is spoken of as forceful but-not visionary. Dr. Kane was born on a farm in Carroll county, Ohio, and after attending the common schools, he entered the Oakdale Academy, near Pittsburg. From that institution he went to the Iron City Business College, and took a thorough course. Graduating there he entered Monmouth College, at Monmouth, 111., and being converted there, determined to enter the ministry of the United Presbyterian church. He accordingly entered the theological seminary of that denomination at Xenia, O but lajer went to the seminary at Newburg, N. from which he was graduated in 1874 He at once assumed the pastorate of a prosperous church at Argyle, N. Y„ and, after a service of several years there, was called to the Second Presbyterian church of Lafayette. This church was then in desperate straits. Dr. Kane quickly reversed this order of things, and his success was the wonder of the synod. "Eirly in his work at Lafayette he became interested in WabaBh College, and proved a valuable friend to the institution. In 1887 he received the honorary degree of doctor of divinity from the trustees, and two years later was made a member of the board. He Btill continues as a trustee, and haB been for several years president of the board. In 1882 he went to Bloomington, 111., to become pastor of one of the leading churches of the state, Vice-President Stevenson being one of his parishioners. He recently resigned his Bloomington work however, to assume the presidency of the Winona Assembly, and is now living at Evanston, 111. 'The Rev. G. L." Mackintosh, of this city, who is a trustee of Wabash College, is well acquainted with the Rev. W. P. Kane. "About a year ago," he said, "Dr. Kane took charge of the educational work of the Winona Assembly and Summer School. He has made a great success of that work. He is also the father of what is called the Indiana plan of home missions. This plan has been adopted by several states, after a

severe fight with the board at New York. He is a great organizer and a good scholar, though in this age scholarship is not a sine qua non in the college president. "Mr. Kane was offered the presidency of Wabash College in 185)2. when Dr. Burroughs was elected. At that time be declined to accept the position. He is a man of wide acquaintanceship in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He perhaps knows the field o| this college as well as any man that could possibly be chosen. There is a feeling on the part of the trustees that a western man is wanted."

•HEADED OFF THE POLICE.

A umber of Orap Shooters Plead Guilty in 'Squire Stilwell'* Court,

All this summer of Sunday afternoons a gang of bad boys have conducted a craps game in the fair grounds or Hutton's woods, as the fancy struck them. Seme days the game would be in the fair grounds and other days on the Hutton place. Last Sunday it was at the latter rendezvous and nearly two dozen young rascals were gaily throwing the dice when they were detected by Mr. Hutton. He sent

for

Constable By as and that

worthy came racing over to the scene like a Filipino to a mutilation festival. The scamps saw him when

afar

off and

grabbing up their dice and money they cut for taller timber. Several of them were recognized, however, and warrants were issued for their

arreBt

the mayor's court. In some »way the boys learned who were UDder the ban and last Tuesday theBe fellows appeared before 'Squire S til well and filed warrants against each other for the offense with which they all stood charged in the mayor's court. All pleaded guilty and were duly fined. This ended the incident and the cases in the mayor's court were dropped.

'•'i'Vjfc'' A Bad Horse,

John Kennedy.a colored man,

WBS

rested Wednesday on a charge of allowing his horse to run at large. The case was not without its amusing feature. It seems that Kennedy's old plug is a knowing beast and has been 60 exactly trained by his master that no one is allowed to approach Jhim when he is out on the streets or commons. The police and others tried many times to capture the animal to impound him, but when anyone came near the horse threw his tail up over hiB back and cavorted off at a two minute clip. Finally, worn out by vain endeavors to land the beast, the police resorted to the next best thing and arrested the master.

HOW ABOUT THIS DOC?

A Woman -Tells a Pretty Tough Story at the Kzpenge of the Bronaagh Boys.

Mrs. Elizi E Dowden has filed suit in the circuit court against Thomas T. Bronaugh and Dr. C. T. Bronaugh, of New Ross, foi' 81,700 damage Band tells a harrowing story of how she was fiimfiammed out of a large sum by them several years ago. In the complaint it is Btated that in 1S96 the plaintiff was the owner of a tract of fine land and was in miserable physical and mental health. Dr. Bronaugh.was her physician and it is charged entered into a conspiracy with his brother and several othera to. defraud her. They persuaded her to buy a twenty acre tract from Dr. Bronaugh at an outrageous price and in payment therefor to give a mortgage on it and also her other property. They charged her commissions here and fees there and she finally was induced to sell her land tn a. fellow named Henson, a man alleged to be without credit, and take in payment hiB promisory note. In the lon^ run she lost her property and now demands damages from the parties to the transaction who are financially responsible. She further alleges that during the time of these transactions the defendants took advantage of her mental condition and influenced her to carry on her business without consulting her friends or relatives. The story is a very long one and makes some very grave allegations.

The Farmers' Mutual,

The Farmers' Mutual Insurance company, of the counties of Montgomery and ITouutain, met in annual meeting Tuesday in the court room in this city. This is the 22d annual meeting of this jcompany, having been organized in August, 1877. The following is a partial list of some of the original members: Hon. Arch Johnston, J. C. McMaken, J. M. Harshbarger, Wm. G. Miles, M. B. Waugh, Allen Moore, Jas. A. Mount and others. The company is now in a flourishing condition and haB increased in the last year in insurance over $400,000, and now represents, in round numbers. $1,300,000 of insurance. The president, M. B. Waugb, in his annual report Tuesday showed that during the past eleven years the members have been assessed 00% cents on each one hundred dollars of insurance to pay losses, or an average of a friction over 8 cants per year, which is enough to commend itself to the farmers, for whose benefit it was organized. The company has paid during the past year $3,195.53 for losses sustained, which losses were promptly, paid and to the entire satisfaction of all parties concerned. The affairs of the company are managed by a board of six directors who are elected annually by the stockholders.

The officers elected Tuesday are: President—M. B. Waugh. Vice-Pres.—Albert Campbell. Secretary—W. J. Miles. Treasurer—J. M. Harshbarger. Directors—H. A. Foster and R. G. Drollinger.

Badly Hurt.

While looking over the Crawford hotel building Monday night, a man giving his name as M. P. Marshall, of Darlington, and working at the Henry saw mill, Btepped backward into the cellar and struck on his shoulder. He waB found about midnight by some men attracted there by his groans. Dr. EuBtninger waB called and found that the man had Buffered a dislocated shoulder and severe internal injuries, besides being bruised up generally. He said he did not know how long he had lain there, but that he had probably been there a long time. Some means should be devised to keep people out of the building, or some one will meet with fatal injuries. Marshall reported as some better now and it is not now thought that his injuries will result fatally. ant Him GojoiDed.

Ida May McDaniel and others have filed in the circuit court an injunction suit against A. D. Peebles. It seems that several years ago the plaintiffs and Silas Bowers opened a highway by each contributing a slice of land fifteen feet wide. A short time ago Bowers sold his land to Peebles and Peebles proceeded to close up the highway by »taking into his fields again that portion of land contributed by Bowers. As the highway is of use to the other parties they have sued to force Peebles to reopen the road and have asked a perpetual injunction against his ever closing it again.

Karal Carriers "Took."

Last Tuesday the several rural free delivery carriers with their wagons were photographed in froat of the postoffice. The photograph was taken for Inspector Hammer, who is greatly pleased with the work here, which he pronounces the best in tho country.

A Letter to Mrs. Pinkham Brought Health to Mrs. Archambo. [LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 42,395]

DEAB MKS. PINKHAM—For two years I felt tired and so weak and dizzy that some days I could hardly go around the house. Backache and headache all the time and my food would not digest and had such pains in the womb and troubled with leucorrhoea and kidneys were affected. "After birth of each child I grew weaker, and hearing so much of the good you had done, I wrote to you and have taken six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, one box of Lozenges, one box of Liver Pills, one package of Sanative Wash, and today I am feeling as well as I ever did. When I get up in the morning I feel as fresh as I did when a girl and eat and sleep well and do all of my work. If ever I feel weak again shall know where to get my strength. I know your medicine cured me."—MRS.SAXTSA ABCHAMBO, CHABLEMONT, MASS.

The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparalleled for years she worked side by/ side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women a year. All women who suffer are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for advice, which will be promptly given without charge.

SOLDIERS' REUNION.

The Members of Company C, Fortieth Indiana, Hold Their Appnal K«union In This City Wednesday.

Wednesday at the home of Capt. S.A. Stilwell, on south Walnut street, occurred the annual reunion of Company C, 40th Indiana. The home and -. lawn were beautifully decorated with flagC and bunting and in the yard to the rear long tables had been erected under the shade trees. President J. T. Harrell has been working indefatigably to make the reunion a success and how well he succeeded everything attested. About one hundred people were present when dinner was announced and from the appearance of the tables a successful foraging party had been out, for no such eatables were ever drawn from the quartermaster's stores, and there waB plenty for everybody and to spare. Immediately after dinner the president called the members of Company 0 together for a business meeting. Twenty-two members of the.compaay survive and twelve members were present, they being: Joseph Madden, Jesse T. Rush, Samuel Stamp, H. 0. Browning,1""1 A. W. Groves, Anderson McMains, Jas. B. Brush, J. T. Harrell, Jonathan Bice, A. P. Harrell, Richard L. Busk and S. A. Stilwell. After the minatea of the last reunion had been read and approved the election of officers for the ensuing year occurred, resulting as follows:

President—Jonathan Rice. Vice President—Anderson McMains^g Sec. and Treas.—Jas. R. Brush. On motion of Captain Stilwell, A. P. Harrell waB elected chaplain for life.

It nai decided to hold the next reunion at the home of Anderson McMains on the last Wednesday in August, 1900. A musical and literary programme was rendered both in the morning and afternoon and a number of informal talks were made by members of Company 0 and visiting comrades, the day passing away very pleasantly for all. Captain and Mrs. Stilwell were extended a vote of thanks for their hospitality, and the r&nion was one of the most enjoyable ever held by tho company. Company received its baptism of fire at Shiloh and its last engagement was at the battle of Franklin. Many of ito members sleep under southern 6kies on battlefields dyed with their life's blood, but the survivors are marching on, bound together by the indissoluble ties of a comradeship welded by the heat of battle.
