After eompleting his tour of inspection over the line, Mr. Shonvs went to Chicago where he spent several days in calling upon the executives of lines con necting with the Clover Leaf. The new administration of the Clover Leaf will maintain very friendly lelations with connecting lines, and it is the opinion of those on the inside that the recent trouble with western lines is to be adjusted at an early date. It is also predicted that the Clover Leaf will soon become a member of the interchangeable mileage bureau of the Central Passenger association from which it withdrew several months i ago.

ALL ARE INTERESTED Indiana Democrats Will Charter Trai to National Convention. Indianapolis. Jan. 30.- Although : i ts still «ar!y to be talking of the Dem , erratic national convention, which inlmosi six months away. Democra' ; throughout this s.c.icn of the stat are beginning to take the livel'est i” . terest in the coming event. The pro posal of the Indiana Democratic clu to run a special train for the clu'j members and other Democrats wii may care io come here to make th start for St. Izntls is being eni’nrse. i by party men all over this section and many inquiries are received by tl ■ club officials every day asking it it will be possible for outside Democrats to secure accommodations on the sp Tia), There proposals have beta w<l Corned by the club and the membe ■ are going on the theory that "the mon the morrier.” If possible a party of 1.000 will be raised to man the sp-’ cial That there will be many thou sand visitors at the convention from this state is a certainty. Indianapolis alone will probably send 1,000, but ar many of ths Democrats will go indi pendently of the club movement then will be room for many other workers on the train. At present the project is being considered of chartering the Pullmans for three or four days an 1 using them to sleep in at night. This would insure sleeping accommodations at reasonable rates, while the party could eat a' any place that suited the members. This plan probably will be adopted in the end.

The meeting of the national committee on trade relations of the National Association of Steam and Hot Water Fitters in this city has brought to light the fact that there are certain abuses of the trade at present which have tended to keep down prices which the manufacturers and jobbers in the organization propose to end if it can be done, and the result probably will be that people will have to pay more for plumbine supplies In the future. The members of the association have discovered that some of the manufacturers have been selling to unrecognized parties in the trade who do not live up to the regulations of the association: that sorie jobbers have been selling direct to consumers. Th° effect of these moves has been to bring down prices, in tact, as the association members say. to disorganize the trade. The as soeiation proposes to put an end io these practices if it can lie done an I a warning to all members of the association telling them not to deal with men who violate the agreement will probably he issued and other steps will de tak-n to bring about a change. The manner ir. which the oraze for r r polo continuer in this city as well as in all the gas belt towns where the sport is pursued so vigorously, has put the skeptics to root. When it wafirst proposed to build the auditorium here and devote it exclusively to polo there was a general declaration from "knowing ones" who did not care for the game that it could not last and that the men who put up money to erect the rink would find themselves out for all the expense they wont to. As a matter of tact, however, the craze* for the game not only has not decreased a* the false prohpets said it would, but the game is even more popular today than it ever was before. There have been a good many people who thought the love for the sport would not las’ more than one year, but the indications now are that there will be even better support for the game next year than there has l>een this winter.

THE STATE OF TRADE What Bradstreet Has to Say of the Current Situation. New York. .lan. .lO.—Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says: Weather conditions have been unfai vorable throughout a ’vide area, and 1 while in some instances helpful to retail trade, extreme cold or heavy snow : have rather rhsrplv checked spring trade and retarded transportation. There is a rather quieter feeling found also in sev. ral lines of speculation and industry. An exception to this is found in the South, which section, stimulated by almost undreamed-of cotton prices, is preparing to plant en i enormous acreage. Spring trade, whica was opening up actively in the Southwest, has been brought practically io a standstill for the time being by zero weather. Rather less satisfactory results come from the Iron and steel trade. Southern iron is claimed to be un changed, but Northern Iron io weaker, foundry grade* not being in active demand.

The women in fact are among the largest stock raisers in the state, and their exhibits at the exposition promise to show up as well as the display made by any mm is engaged in the same business. The discovery that so many women follow this occupation was a surprise to all the men engaged in the work ot arranging the stock exhibit. I knew that some women owned stock farms, but I had no idea the number was anywhere as large as it is is.’ explained Mr. Alexander. "I am mighty glad we have so many, however, for the ladies are ail showing the liveliest interest and will make fine displays." Assaulted and Robbed. Delphi. Ind.. Jan. 30.
