Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 22 —A big item of busmens at me office of thCj secretary of state Saturday was the granting of increase of capital stock to the M. inuiniey » Co., of Laporte. The records show that their first incorporation occurred in 1887 when they incorporated for 1250,000, and this capital was increased in March, 1909, to $750,000, and in November of that same year another increase made their capital stock 12,000,000. and to this amount of capital another tnil-| lion was added in January. 1911. The increase Saturday makes their total capital twenty-two million dollars, and the fee to the state of Indiana was $19,037.70. It is an original Indiana corporation, one among the largest too, by the way, and likely one of the most successful in the country. They manufacture threshing machines, engines and farm machinery, and this latest increase in capital was partly for the purpose of buying up the Gaar, Scott & Co., of Richmond. Indiana, and the Advance Thresher Co., of Hattie Creek, Mich. The National Harvester Co. is their only rival and this new combination makes it certain that the M Rumley & Co. will soon be the leaders in the manufacture of farm machinery. The head of this gigantic concern is a young man. Dr. Rumley, and he is proving to be a wizard in the manufacturing business and necessarily a wizard in finance. At the summer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association at Laporte, young Rumley. in the course of an address said that the newspapers of the country could not do a better thing for the business interests of the country than to start a movement advocating a world's market, and that a protective tariff was more of a hindrance than a help to the manufacturers of the country. This was a new song for a manufacturer to sing, but it shows the change in sentiment from the good old days when it was popular to advocate a protective tariff for the benefit of the laboring men of the country and the infant industries, and when a world market meant nothing but a competition with the pauper labor of Europe. Now we see the head of one of the largest manufacturing institutions in this country advocating a world market, and at the same time is turning up his nose at a protective tariff, which a Tew years ago was thought vital to the success of manufacturing. Times do I Senate- Kern is coming home Thursday from Chicago, where he has been since early in October as one of the Lorimer investigating committee. They have been unearthing some new and important testimony and there is not much of that which will help the blonde senator retain his seat in the United States senat-. The committee adjourns this week and will take up the investigation later in Washington. The senator and Mrs. Kern will go to Washington for the opening of congress on the first Monday in December, but they will both be back in Indianapolis for the holiday season. The state printing board opened bids for stationery and printing, and now the clerk of the board is figuring the bids and as soon as this is com- ( pleted the board will verify the figures and award the contract to the ] lowest bidder. W. B. Burford, The Sentinel Printing Company and Thorn-j ton, Levy & Co., were the bidders. I The meeting of the democratic state committee on November 28th will likely bring the unterrified in numbers. and democrats from every part of the state will be here for that sion. In reality that will open the campaign fur 1913, for the selection of delegates to the district meetings will soon follow and then comes the election of the members of the state committee, and then the organization, which is scheduled for January Bth. By that time the time and place for the national convention will have been fixed by the national committee. There is already some talk for a state' convention in march, and it would seem that such a date would not be out of place. J. H. Heller and Master Dick were Indianapolis visitors over Sunday, Frank E. France of Muskogee, Oklahoma, is here. Representatives to the state meeting of Odd Fellows from Adams county are also in the city. L. G. E. Sixty thousand dollars in six weeks! The raising of this large sum in that short time is the tremendous task before the friends of Pepauw university—an Indiana institution of higher learning which has a large number of friends in this city and county. The raising of this amount beforeJanuary 1, 1911, will mean an addition of a half million dollars to the endowment of Depauw. The General Education Board, a group of well known experts in the field of education and finance, having at their disposal the income of an invested fund of $53,000,000, after careful inquiry into the character and work of the in-

' stltutlon, some months ago offered to contribute SIOO,OOO toward a fund of $500,000, the remainder to be raised I by friends of the university before 1 the end of the present year. This entire half millioln is to be used in' maintaining the teaching force of the institution. From less than two thousand persons in the state of Indiana $340,000 'of the necessary $400,000 to complete this fund has been raised. Only a few weeks remain in which to raise the, remainder and upon the outcome of 1 this effort will depend the success of the movement for the placing of Depauw university upon a higher plane of usefulness to the people of Indiana and of the entire country. It is not believed that the appeal for the funds necessary to enable Depauw ' to eralize large opportunities for service to the state will be made in vain. State pride is added to church pride as an incentive for the most liberal response to the cry for help which , comes from Greencastle. For nearly seventy-five years Depauw university has played a large part in the Indiana scheme of higher education. Though founded and maintained under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal church, its doors have been opened on equal terms to young men and women of all creeds, and there has never been a time when the student paid any part of the large amount necessary for the compensation of the faculty. The incidental fees paid by students are exhausted in the current expenses for the care and upkeep of buildings and grounds and general administration. The institution has been maintained for three-quarters of a century only by the generosity ot the people of Indiana interested in higher education. The raising of a half million dollars would substitute the steady income from an endowment fund for the uncertain returns of temporary plans for appealing to the public for assistance. Those who are pushing the campaign for a large permanent DePauw endowment do not feel that they are begging—but rather that they are giving to the people of Indiana an opportunity to pay back to the venerable institution at Greencastle some part of the debt the state owes to it —this money to be safeguarded for all time to come as a perpetual source of support for the teaching force of the university. Four years are allowed under the terms of the arrangement with the General Education Board for the pay--1 went of the pledges made to the half million endowment fund. Already substantial support has been given from thi section of Indiana to the movement. and it is believed that the people of this city and county will do their full share in the remaining weeks of the campaign now in progress to a successful conclusion WERE EXAMINED. Young Clergy of Diocese Given Annual Examination.

E. parsonage when the Rev. R. L. - Semans united in the holy bonds of wedlock, Mr. Barton Schralaka. of this city, and Miss Bertha Tricker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Trrcker. Following the wedding a supper was served at the home of the groom. The announcement comes as a great surprise to their many friends, who, although they anticipated the event, did not think it would occur so soon. The groom is a hustling young man, highly esteemed by his many friends. He is cm-i ployed at the S. H. Adams heading ■ mill ans also sings at the Star theater. The bride is a young lady of many j good qualities, and for some time has j beexi employed at the Waring glove. factory, resigning a few weeks ago to make preparations for the- coming wedding.

The greater number of the eighty-three pupil# receiving musical instruction# at the hands of the sisters hhd the opportunity to show their musical qualities to the many present and each student, to the best of their ability, rendered their assigned piece to the satisfaction of all. Only a few outside of the students taking part, were present, as

it was previously announced that the recital would be for the pupils only, and which was so carried out. The afternoon recital was quite lengthy and the greater portion of the afternoon was spent in the rendering of music. It was considered a success from every point of view and pupils and teachers alike express their appreciation for the excellent results displayed frcm the long and attentive practice wfyich required them to reach the point in music which they have. o The members of the Baptist church, who since three weeks last Sunday have been without a regular pastor the charge being made vacant by th* transferring of tne Rev.

Barnard, chief chemist for , the state board of health, has issued orders to his force of field inspec- ! tors to arrest apple dealers caught ( , selling Ben Davis apples for another 1 variety. The order follows a report . Ito the effect that some dealers are selling such apples by representing! them to be Rome Beauties, New- York Pippins and other varieties. I Mr. Barnard says that such misrep-, resentations concerning apples is as much a violation of the state food laws as selling coffee or any other, food under a false label. He says ' he has no objection to the Ben Davjg 1 ftbplfi, but when sold it must be sold ' as a Ben Davis apple and not offered as some othe’ variety. ' i Washington, D.

R. & I. railroad to the Acker Cement works in the north part of the city about 4 o’clock last evening, the interurban freight spread the switch rafts, and the empty cars left on the main interurban line were necessarily held up there until the freight could be gotten back on the track and the damage repaired, thus allowing the removal of the empties out of the way on the main line This blocking of the main line a! j ' held up the 4 o’clock car from Fcrt Wayne, which reached here much la ter than the schedule time Wednesday evening. THE HYPNOTIST MADE GOOD. Professor Hemstreet the Real Thine — At Opera House Tonight. , x i Professor Hemstreet, the hypnotist, opened an engagement at the opera houst Wednesday night, and gave the cleanest, and most interesting exhibition of hypnotics that has ever been put on in this city. He opened his | entertainment with a short lecture on I the science, explaining that hypnotism is being used more or less by ail 1 of us, saying that every person who at-' ' tempts to influence the mind of another person is practicing hypnotism. AftI er coaxing a short time he succeeded in getting a number of young men upon the stage and what he did with ! them was a plenty. The entertainment was in the highest degree inter- { esting, and the time has gone by when intelligent people cry fake over such power as he possesses, and one can , attend this exhibition and enjoy a hearty, healthy laugh. It is impossible to particularize, sufficient it is to say that it was as funny as a dozen comedians with a circus thrown in. Professor Hemstreet will be at the opera house again tonight and a number of our best men have promised to go upon the stage and be hypnotized, and those who attend the show are sure of a barrel of fun, besides much valuable instruction. No doubt the house will be packed tonight as the prices are within the reach of all, 10 and 20 cents. - -.—. ,»- . - FA — ■ ■ ■ 111 , At an important meeting held at • | the Christian church Wednesday evenII ing the congregation unanimously uns 1 ited with the official board, in extend- - ing ft call to the Fife Evangelistic com - 1 pany, of Kansas City, to come to this ■' city and conduct a great evangelistic .' campaign for the saving of souls. The 3 Fife company is now conductin;; s evangelistic services in Huntington being now in their third week there and meeting with most excellent sue a cess. During this time, there have 1- been one hundred seventy-five acces ’, sions to the Huntington church, lift}

’ being on last Lord's day alo ne . evangelistic company has six members, including the Rev. Rodgers Fife his three sons, two of whom are minis' ten,, and two daughters. Each has his special work to do. The elder Mr. Fife is the evangelist proper, while one of the minister sons makes a spec, ialty of working with the young boy® and men, the older daughter with the women, and the youngest daughter with the young people. All assist m the music, which is a wonderful part of the services. The music includes ' vocal solos, duets, quartets, etc., and the comj>any also has a complete orchestra, carrying a line of many instruments. The company is of national fame, having conducted services In every state in the union, with accessions of from five hundred down at each place they have held services. It has long been the desire of the local church to secure them, and learning of their proximity here at this time, a committee from the local church, comprising Rev. Dawson and G. T. Burk and E. H. Shoemaker, went to Huntington Tuesday evening, where they heard them, and also talked with : them regarding securing them for a [ campaign here. They will begin services here on the last Lord's day in December, which is December 31st, and will continue indefinitely, the time depending upon the results and the need of the work. Some idea of their demand, and their consequent worth and ability, can be estimated from the salary which they command, thp company receiving $125 a week, their car-fare paid one way, and board furnished by member,, of the congregation. It is thought that their coming will be a great event in the church world of this city, and Rev. Dawson and his congregation deem themselves , very fortunate in being able to secure them. STATE FINANCES Are Set Forth in Annual Report of Auditor W. H. O'Brien. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 22—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The annual report of W. H. O'Brien, auditor of state, for the fiscal year ended September 30th, which will shortly be issued by the state printer, will show the total net disbursements for all purposes by the state for the year to have been $8,262,501.11. The total net receipts for the year amounted to $8,217,005.48. The expenditure of more money during the year than was received was made possible by the fact that there was in the state treasury at the beginning of the fiscal year a balance from the preceding year of $226,172.53, which made a total from which moneys could be drawn during the year of $8,483,178.01. The difference between this sum and the total net disbursements for the year is $220,676.90, which was the sum in the state treasury of all funds at the beginning of the current fiscal year, October Ist. Included in this is approximately $52,000, which was called in from the counties by the state board of finance from the taxes payable during the current year to meet expenses of the closing days of the last year.
