Bishop McCa the noted Meth-' odist, gave expression to a sent:- . ment of feeling conoernin;: the Turks that will find a hearty endorse ment in the minds of many people in this country when h? said during the recent Methodist conferenec at Los Angeles:" I should like to sv another war. I should like to see Admiral Dewey sail up the Bosporus with his biggest ships and send word to the sultan ! that the massacre of Christians ■ must stop. Since we have been in I this conference the Turks have de- j stroyed forty three towns, killing 1 women and children. How long, j hO Loword - ong shall this endure*" ! \V. H. Shepherd was in the city j Friday completing arrangements for drilling the test oil wells on Judge Erwins farm. He desires to secure leases of 1000 acres of land in the vicinity and he must have these in his possession before he began drilling. It is believed he will have accomplished this part of his plan by tomorrow when the articles will be signed up. It is thought uow that the rig will be brought here by the first of the week and drilling liegin by a week from this time Mr. Shepherd as well as other oil men of good judgement believe the territory is good and that a new , field will be the result of the present investigation. Mr. Jamison, of who! desires to locate a factory* here for j the manufacture of gasoline stoves ; will arrive in the city tomorrow and would like to meet every citi- j zen who is interested in the future welfare of the town at the Commercial Club rooms at Eight o’clock i tomorrow evening. When he will state his proposition and hopes to close up a deal for bringing his factory here. He has a number of ' good patents and his proposition ’ will undoubtedly be a good one, mean a profit for the stockholders and a good industry for the city. This concern asks onlv to sell a small amount of stock and Mr Jamison comes reecomended as a first class citizen and hustler. It may pay you to attend the meeting tomorrow evening. j 1 "An important legal question was involved in the case of John C - Snee. paymaster of the Pan- 1 handle railway to recover 1200,000 1 from the City National bank of Lc- 1 gansporr taken by the sheriff to ' satisfy two judgements against the ' companv. “At the close of the hearing o: the case Judge Anderson ! annontvvd that his decision would ; be in favor of the defendant and Snee's art rnevs asked that he withhold hi- apeision a week. This ' wa* granted but before the time 1 for the deoidon t- lie announced Snee'-; attorneys went into court and dismissed the c »*e. thus avoiding a decision » that kind going ob rec >rd as it might have great effect hereafter. “If the decision had been rendered every sheriff who had an unpaid judgement against a railroad company could wait until the p iv car came’around and then >,v main force as was done at Logansport, hold up the paymaster and take the cash. The prosper of -uch action becoming curnot irt was not at all to the liking of Mu railroad companies. —Sentinel.

— The officers of the Great Northern Indiana Fair are already busy with the preparations for their exhibit for 1904. the dates for which are August 30 and 31 and September 1 and 2. Contracts have al- j ready been made with the Hoagland Bros, free attraction which is the best of its kind in the country. It is the intention of those in charge to spare no expense, time or money in making this exhibit the | greatest of them all and that they i will succeed goes without saying. : I Those in charge a”e the kind of ! men that do things, and it is time now for the public to begin manij testing the interest that will help ; them to carry out the plans adoptj ed. The reputation already attained by the Great Nothern Indiana Fair extends to many states and territories and we surmise that after the success of this year it will extend even farther. Editor Fred Rohrer was here Thusrday and deposited with the county auditor five bulky documents, which will renew the saloon war at Berne. Each remonstrance is in general terms, and remonstrates against the granting of liquor licenses to William Sheets, Jacob Hunzicker, Samuel Sprunger, and Samuel L Kuntz of Berne and* i Joseph Hooker of Monroe, the five applicants for license in Monroe township. Etch remonstrance is ■ signed by Fred Rohrer as attorney ;in fact for 423 citizens and voters |of that township, or at least is ! supposed to be . A few weeks ago I a canvass of the business men in ■ Berne revealed the fact that an overwhelming percent of them favored the open policy, but Mr Rohrer claims that no agreement was made not to remonstrate and he also claims that the sentiment regarding that little event was greatly magnified and over estimated. Be that as it may, the cases will again be threshed out in commissioner's court daring their session which begins next Monday. The time to hunt squirrels is not this month, contrary to the expectation of many hunters. In former 1 times Jane 1 has always marked the advent of the squirrel law but the last legislature changed this for 1 several reasons. At this season of the year the squirrels are some of them too young to have any cun- 1 ning and they fall an easy prey to the gun of the hunter. A few months added to their period of safety will make them harder to 1 kill and will give them a better > chance for their life. This year it 1 is unlawful to kill squirrels before 1 tie first day of August. At that time, however, they may he killed '• and from that time on to the first of January. This gives the hunters five months of shooting, certainly time enough to go after these harm le-s little rodents. The fines that miy be imposed for violations of the game law are pretty severe and , there are many people who see that I they are enforced if they can catch | any person hunting. For every j squirrel in possession of a hunter before the time specified, by law, a fine of $lO can be imposed to which may be added imprisonments in the county jail for a period of not to exceed ten days. Game j wardens are lurking anywhere about the county and it would be | well for the huntsmen to properly, serve the law in this respect.

D. Er win lett Wednesday for Wex- ! ord county Michigan where he will take an option on several thousand acres of land for a prospective land company, who will promote the same. Lind in this region, besides being cheap in price is of a productive nature and bids fair to some day be a garden spot where high class civilization and prosperity will ! reign with a free hand. Land purchased there uow will several times double itself in value in the next ten years and will prove an investment that beats most any enterprise that may be developed. Mr. Erwin expects to thoroughly investigate the merits of this venture and while gone may give his views of Michigan land for agricultural purposes. The state convention of the Indiana Epworth League, James M. Ogden, Indianapolis, president, will be held at Greencastle, beginning Thursday evening June 16. closing Sunday evening. June 19. It is expected that fully 3,o<X> Epworthites will be in attendance and that the convention will he the most successful the State league has ever held. Greencastle has many points of picturesque beauty. Among these may be mentioned McLean Springs. Fern Cliff and Sunset Hill , and the buildings and surroundings of De Pauw University. Those at tending the convention may lodge in the university dormitories, and thus get an insight into college at De Pauw. An old fashioned camp meeting will be held on the college campus and a sunrise meeting at the Columbian bowlder. The ooni vention sermon will be delivered by President Edwin H. Hughes, of the university. The twenty seven young men who took the Eagle degree wjrk Wednesday have all arrived safely at home once again a much wiser crowd than before going. It was considered a banner evening for the Ft. Wayne Aeria and a special class consisting of one hundred and fifty : young and middle aged men sur rounding Ft. Wayne were initiated into the mysteries of this famous j organization. The boys from this city are especially elated over the manner in which the degree work was conferred and also the balance of the program that was furnished for their amusement. Only one from the twenty seyen from this county was giyen the work, he being a young man from Preble whose name we could not learn and who now has great respect for that organization. After the initiation a sumptuous banquet was seryed and a number of toasts given, among the number being addesses from congressman James Robison and ex-Lieut, Gov. Gibert. This | city now is well repesented in the Eigle Lodge having something like forty five members here and there is some talk of them getting a charter.
