MAJOR GEN. WOOD WILL BE BURIED AT WASHINGTON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ )y a leader and inspiring respect of his men, captured the rebel Gereonimo and most of his troublesome foli .lowers. He was then promoted to a captaincy, and in the next few years was stationed at several army posts. I General Wood was the friend and I frequently the confidant of three Presidents—Cleveland, McKinley and Rooseveft. In 1893 Cleveland selected Wood as White House physician and aide and McKinley reappointed I him. Meanwhile a close friendship sprung up between Wood and Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the navy. | | Thus it. was that Wood was selected to command the famous “Rough Riders” unit in the Spanish-American war. Rooseyelt. recruiting the unit. 1 contented himself with a subordinate rank of lieutenant colonel. 1 » Wood’s gallant command and achievements at Sanjuan Hill and Las Guasimas won him promotion to brigadier general in 1898. He later was made major general -as military governor of Cuba. , During the world war General Wood went to France on an inspection tour but was recalled to Washington and kept in this country by President Wilson. He served four years as the chief of the general staff of the army. | i After the war be was mentioned as possible Republican presidential candidate but he was unable to sum- 1 mon sufficient votes at the convention which nominated Warren Harding. After Harding’s election Wood was sent to the Phillippines as gov-, ernor general. - 0 > Card of Thanks We wish in this manner to thank ; all our friends and neighbors, who so! kindly assisted its during the sick-, ness and death of our mother and wife, Mrs. Henry C.

M. ■ Gas Wells In Decatur And Rush Counties Are Strong Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 1 — Gas wells in Decatur and Rush counties are still providing a splendid flow of this great natural fuel and in many instances the pressure is such that I spring choke valves are used in order to release only a prescribed steady flow. Additional wells have been drilled in th- Harrison county field and aid in ' sending a steady flow of natural gas I to Louisville, Ky., domestic and industrial consumers. These facts are brought out in the monthly report of Dr. W N. Logan, 1 state geologist, to Richard Lieber,' conservation director, and are evidence that Indiana still ’is fortunate i in possessing some of the finest fuel I that mankind has taken from the earth 1 to his personal use. The pressure is so excellent, the 1 report says, that many wells in the I Greensburg vicinity are equipped with spring check valves and only the old- | est wells are permitted to flow their j ! full capacity. Recently a new well in tSullivan county was brought in having I a 300 pound pressure per square inch. Oil wells reported to have made 100 barrels in initial production were completed during the last njonth in | Daviess, Gibson and Vtgo counties. I Notwithstanding the present low price' of oil there is considerable development going on in this state in both proven and untested areas.

LOSE RESPECT FOR TRIBUNALS Methodist Preacher Volunteer To Serve Sentence Os Dr. Shumaker Lafayette, Ind.. Aug. 8-(UP)—A -Loss of respect for Tribunals" Is the reaction of the northern Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal i church to the 60-day prison term imposed by the Indiana Supreme Court upon Dr. Edgar S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, for criticizing the court's decisions, a resolution. adopted by the conference asserted. Sixty preachers among the 1.500 persons who gave their approval of Dr. Shumaker ': stand in a vote of confidence offered each to serve one day of the term and fifty dollars was raised toward his SSOO fine. The resolutions call attention to the sentence being detet mined “by a vote of three’judges against two, one of lyhom is holding his office under challenge of not receiving a majority vote” and deplore "this situation (is conductive to a loss of respect for Tribunals and the high authority given the men in such positions of trust.” “We believe," the resolution continues:. “That free s-pts ch and an enlightened moral public ( pinion are the bub.
