He has marked a number of rivers of the United States, but says the White river pearls are just as good as any of them. He has been working near Chesterfield. He will gather a bushel or so and then boil them. The shell then opens itself and the pearl, if there be any, will be easy to find. There is an average of three pearls to a bushel of shells. When Mr. Frisk gets the pearls he send to a New York firm. Pearl hunting is a very interesting occupation.

Four mysterious fires in the business heart of Kokomo, threatening property of the value of many thou- ! sands, within as many days, is giving the fire underwriters of that city no little concern. A demand has been made for the strictest possible police surveillance in order that an increase in the rates of fire insurance, or possibly a cancellation of insurance, may not follow. There is now a well-founded belief, which is universally shared by the local fire underwriters, that a monomaniac is responsible for the starting of fires in second-floor offices during the absence of the tenants and in and under stairways in business blocks. The sixty-eighth annual conference of the Methodist Protestant church of Indiana closed at Swayzee yesterday with the announcement of the assignment of pastors for the coming year.

In view of the fact that some of the members of the church have practiced giving one-tenth of their wealth to the church, a tithing society was formed with A. B. Williams, president, and A. W. Conn, secretary. Delegates were chosen to attend the general conference at Pittsburg next May and adjourment followed. Rev. Heininger has returned to Anderson and pronounced the sesion a splendid one.
