GENERAL WALLACE'S GUESTS.
The Members of the Shlloh Commission Were Entertained at His Home Friday.
The Shiloh commission, which has been hard at work for several days in Indianapolis endeavoring to select designs for the monument to commemorate the work of the Indiana regiments on the famous battlefield of Shiloh, were invited by General Wallace to be his guests Friday and they came over on the morning train. The gentlemen of the commission are Capt. Thomas B. Wood-, of Franklin, who is president of the commission Major John F. WildmaD, of Muncie, secretary of the mission Capt. Nicholas Ensley, of Indianapolis B. M. Hutchings, of Columbus, and Col. Jas. S. Wright, of Rockport. Gen. Geo. F. McGinnis, of Indianapolis, was also present as the guest of General Wallace.
The party was entertained at the Crawford house at noon, and the morning and afternoon was spent in examining a large number of maps and surveys which General Wallace had prepared independent of the government surveys. At the battle of Shiloh General Wallace was the ranking Indiana officer and it will be remembered that he went several years ago in person to the battlefield of Sniloh and located accurately the positions of all the Indiana commands. General Wallace is acknowledged to be one of the greatest living authorities on the battle and the battlefield, and the members of the commission were greatly benefited by their visit to his home.
The Union Hospital.
There was a meeting of the board of managers of the Union hospital at the Y. M. C. A. last»Friday afternooD, the most important features of which were the reports of the several committees. The building committee reported that they had not fully decided upon any of the plan9 submitted as yet, but had decided to wait until the first of the year and have the contractors furnish new figures when, in all probability, the cost of material will be much lower. Work on the new building will be commenced just as early in the spring as the weather will permit, and in the meantime everyjendeavor will be made to increase the subscription and raise as much money as possible. The action of the P. O. S. of A. is very gratifying to the board, and they wish to thanK the members of this organization for the earnest way in which they have entered into raising fmoney for the cause.
A committee consisting of the attorney and treasurer was appointed to attend to the matter of lending $10,000 of the amount now on hand on good security.
The appointment of Mrs. Mary D. Travis as financial secretary was confirmed by the board, likewise the action of the committee on site in purchasing five lots in Whitlock place.
The name of Mr. Max Tannenbaum was added to the committee to see the secret societies about donations.
Back From the Orient.
Rev. John McKee, who has been a missionary at Bangkok, Siam, has returned as the following postal will show. He writes: "PACIFICGROVE, Cal., Oct. 21st, J901. —You have probably heard that we were ordered home from the Orient because of Mrs. McKee's continued ill health. We arrived a week ago. I think the voyage over did Mrs. McKee some good, though shejis still far from well. The doctors encouraged me to believe that she would improve more rapidly under the favorable conditions of the home land. "Kindly send my copy of the weekly to Ahua, Michigan. I hope to see you before many days. Our three months old boy is a much traveled youth. He has already gone through Leland Stanford Jr. University. With kindest regards. "JOHN MCKEE." •i-'-V- .:-'-':

Polltlcal Gossip.
Friends of Senator Fairbanks and Senator Beveridge have been confering on the new Republican state committee to be selected by the congressional districts, next January. They deny that they are setting up pins They prefer to put it that they are looking over the list of candidates to see whether they are agreeable. It ap pears that the friends of the senators are trying to avoid any clash out in the districts. They are proceeding on the theory that the best interests of the Republican party in Indiana will be conserved if the senators are both sat isfied with the make-up of the state committee. They believe that if fight were opened by one of the sena tors on the other, it would eventually mean the defeat of both and possibly the defeat of the Republican party.— Indianapolis Sun.

Each carrier serves on an average 600 patrons. There were 4,298 carriers on the first of last July, so that within one year the service will have doubled.
Statistics being compiled for use in the annual report of the postmaster generaljshow that the rural free dellvevery service has materially Increased the postal business In the sections where it has been introduced. The officials of the department believe that it is a question of a comparatively short time when this business will pay the cost of the maintenance of the service. Rural free delivery carriers are to receive the attention of congress this ses sion, and it is practically certain that their salary will be increased $100 a year. They are now receiving an annual salary of $500, and have to provide and maintain a horse and wagon It is probable that upon the recom mendation of the postmaster-general the rural free delivery service will be placed under the civil service rules This will not apply to the carriers, but will include all the other field force, as well as the clerical forces in the main and branch offices.
The rural free delivery service is now being introduced upon a county basis. Where the conditions warrant a county is selected and routes are established. It is found that by turning counties from the old service of star routes and fourth class postoffices about 75 per cent, of the latter are abolished.
And Nye Will Go In Too.
From best information obtainable Collector D. W. Henry will surrender the portfolio of the office to his successor, Mr. John R. Bonnell, of Crawfordsville, some time between the 8th and 15th of November. It Is given out that Fred Sims, of Frankfort, member of the state Republican committee for the Ninth district, will be made chief deputy for the new collector, and that some of the present office force will be retained.—Terre Haute Tribune.
THE BEST THEY KNOW.
remember the old lady who rode for the first time on a railway train. There was a frightful collision, but when the rescuers reached her she was quite calm. She said she supposed they always stopped that way. The story well illustrates why so many women are satisfied to live without Ivory Soap. They have never tried it! Naturally enough, they think that annoying odors, sharp chemicals, and wasteful greasiness are common to. all soaps.

FOR RURAL DELIVERY. CAPTURED HERE.
Ten Million Dollars Will Be Appropriated—Carrier*' Salaries Will Probably Be Increased to $600, But
Will Not Be Put Under Civil Service Rules. S§ V-'\ The growth of the rural free delivery service has been phenomenal, says the Chicago Record-Herald. It started five years ago with an appropriation of $10,000, the first route running from Charleston, W. Va. The appropriation for the service during the present year is $3,500,000 and the postmastergeneral will ask congress to allow $6,250,000 for next year. Congressmen who are taking particular interest In the service say that the allowance will probably be greater than the postmas-ter-general will recommend, and predict that $10,000,000 will be appropriated. It is estimated that when the service has been perfected it will cover 1,000,000 square miles of territory and have over 30,000,000 patrons. On Nov. 1 there will be 6,000 routes in operation, one carrier to each route, and the natural growth of the service will in crease the number of routes by the first of next July to between 8,000 and 9,000
