ENDOWMENT RANK AFFAIRS.
C. P. S. Ncal Speaks »f Some Encouraging Features of the Business.
Lebanon Jicporter: C. P. S. Neal, president of the endowment rank K. of P., arrived home from Chicago Saturday evening and will return to day. Mr. Neal stated this morning in an interview that the financial condition of the rank is rapidly improving. Since January 1, the liabilities have been reduced .about $121,000. During July $115,000 in death claims was paid. Up to Saturday in this month $18 000 was paid in death claims. During the month of July, while the financial condition of the rank was under discussion, and while the affairs of the order were being investigated by the supreme lodge, there was written over $600,000 worth of business, which is certainly a remarkably good record when everything is taken into consideration.
State Fair Protn.ses.
"Only one thing can prevent the state fair this fall from being the greatest held in yearp," said Secretary Downing, of the state board of agriculture, in a recent interview, "and that is a rainy week. The matter concerning us now is how to handle the crowds easily and with dispatch, and I think that I can guarantee that there will be no crushes and mad scrambles for the street cars that have characterized some other events in the city and at the fair grounds."
Mr. Downing will pay particular attention now to arrangements for transportation to and from tbe fair grounds. Unless positive assurance of satisfactory service is eivi-n by the street car company, he will make arrangements with the two railroads running past the grounds with a view to having them run special trains It is felt that if the trains are used there
II be no trouble in getting to and from the grounds. The Union traction company's lino also touches a point near the fair grounds, and it is expected that thisline will also carry fairground passengers.
The grounds are to be lighted at night, and the probability now is that tne halls will be thrown open evenings to those who find it impossible to attend the fair in tbe day time. Mr. Downing says the fair this year will be for the people" and he is willing, after it it, over, to let the people give their verdict as to whether the' board has not furnished the peop'e an unusually fine exhibition.
Obituary.
Margaret Ann Warbinton was born April 25, 1822, in Ohio, and with her parents came to the state of Indiana when about six years old. She was married to Ira Hunt October 15, 1839. He died Jan. 28, 187G. Three children were born to them, Mrs. John W. Brown, who died July 24, 1901, Mrs. John Peffley, of Ladaga and Dr. J. A. W. Hunt, of Crawfordsville. July 1, 1880, she was married to Rev.. J. s. Max well, a minister in the Christian i.hurch, he having died October 2,1899 She died July 30, 1901, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John R. Peffley, where she had lived since Rev. Maxwell's death, at the age of 76 years, 3 months and 5 days.
She lived a beautiful Christian life, afauhful, consistent member of the Christian church, having made the good confession at the early age of nine years. She leaves two brothers, two children, six grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The funeral was conducted at the residence by Rev. Robert.Harris, of Veedersburg, and interment made at the Harshbarger cemetery, two and one-half miles north of Ladoga-
Weekly Crop Bulletin.
The weekly report of Indiana weather bureau says: "Dry weather continued, with moderate temperatures. The rains during the early part of the week, while intufficient and badly distributed, aided materially in reviving vegetation where they fell. Corn is still promising in a few favored districts of tho northern portion elsewhere, the upland and early-planted crops are almost beyond recovery with immediate rains about the average lowland and late-plauted crops can be saved. Tobacco now needs rain badly. Late potatoes point to failure. Gardens are almost valueless
Apples continue falling, and much fruit is drying on the trees. Pastures are failing. Threshing continued, with fair to good oat and wheat yields.
Tbe dry weather will shorten the clover seed crop."
Will Go to che Phllltplnes. Harry E. Bard, formerly of this county and a graduate of the class of '91, of Wabah College, now in Now York city, has been offered the position of division superintendent of schools in the Philippine islands by Governor Taft, at a salary of 82,250 per annum. Mr. Bard has accepted the place and will sail on the transport Ineralls, from New York for Manila on August 10
MR. DANIEL BANTZ. Otterville, la., sa\f-: "Have had asthma and a very bad cough for years, but could get no relief from the doctors and medicines I tried, until I took Foley's Honey and Tar. It gave immediate relief and done me more good than all the other remedies combined." A
SOARING SKYWARD
Is the Price of Potatoes Here aad Elsewhere.
Commission merchants and local dealers in fruits and vegetables predict a potato famine during the coming winter. At the present time they are intr sold here at $1.40 a bushel, while ia Chicago, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis the price has passed the two dollar mark. Evon at these prices the supply is not great and in many stores in the larger cities they are unable to secure a single bustiol. One local dealer stated that he would not be sur prised it potatoes were selling here this winter at $2 2o a bushel.
Tho Michigan crop is bei,ug almost entirely dependod upon to furnish the supply of the middle west. The vines in that state have not yet blossomed and the dry weather has not injured the crop to any great extent up to the present time.
Scvcn^Yrars' Absent Equals Death. A soldier who for thirteen years had diligently but uosuccessfuly prosecuted his pension claim was pensioned by a special act of congress in 1890, sinco which time no information had been received from him or of his existence by his wife, children or by the bureau of pensio is, although diligent elY rt has been made by his wife and the bureau, in an opinion of the department of the interior it is held that his death should bo presumed under the general rule laid down by the supreme court of the United States, and the act of March 1.'? 1896. notwithstindingthe fact, t.bat he had been separated from his wife some three years prior to 1889, when she last heard from him, as the bureau of pensious would naturally have heard from hin if alive. The case is interesting as showing that the government rec ognizes the seven year absence as pre sumption of death and is the first case of thH kind which has been ,brought to ou* attention.
The Board of Commissioners. The board of county commissioners adjourned Tuesday evening. 1 live
The contract between tho board and William E. Brown, the newlsuperintendent of the county poor farm, was ra 1 tied, and Mr. Brown was employed for two^years, beginning Sept. 1. He gave a bond for $5,000, which was signed by himself, Arch Bailey, Geo. W. Markley, and Frank O. Brown. I—i
The repairs now being made on the court house have necessarily injured the wall paper in the iarge court room, and on the rf-com-mendatlon of Judge West the board made an order that the court room ciiiiingS'and walls, and the halls and approaches be newly papered, the oontr.ictjbeing awarded to Geo. W. Stout, t«« present contractor, at the price of $274.

Elmore, the bard, chirgin? the latter with tapping sugar trees on Sunday, was scheduled to come up before Justice Marks, at Waynet.vn, Monday, but the Drosecuting attorneys and witnesses never showed up and tne case was accordingly dismissed.

He is considerably elated over the result of the suit.
