The

Convention of

Western Writers at

Indianapolis Iast

Week*

There has lorig been a desire on the part of western writers to effect some sort of an organization, which should possess more dignity and permanence than a mere press club. Just what this should be and how it should be brought about, it seemed for a long time impossible to determine, as there was no society in existence that exactly carried out the idea It was finally proposed by Dr. J. It. Matthews, of Ulinoip, whose delightful poems have appeared in many of the be6t periodicals of the country, that a poets' convention be held. After consultation, it was decided to extend this call to writers of prose as well as verse, and while it was at first intended to include principally the writers of Indiana, it soon became evident that the limits would have to be enlarged to embrace all western writers. This idea was eagerly seized upon by Richard Lew Dawson and Mrs. M. Louise Andrews, who, with the assistance of J. C. Ochiltree, a most energetic journalist of Indianapolis, were the principal factors in bringing about this convention. A word of description will not be out of place. Richard Lew Dawson was a resident of Indianapolis until about a year ago. He belongs to the noble army of commercial travelers and has his headquarts at Terre Haute. Heisaman about thirty-five years old, of line literary taste and has of late developed a remarkable talent for dialect writing which will probably make him famous. It will perhaps be remembered that only a few years ago James Whitcomb Riley was drifting about the country making a precarious living at whatever offered, but Bimply through his talent for writing and reading dialect poetry he has found fame and fortune. Mrs. Andrews, of Connersville, is a very bright and gifted women and lias written a number of delightful articles, among the best of which are her dialect sketches after the style of "Uncle Remus" and quiete as good. She is a lady of wonderful executive ability and her efforts to arrange and bring about this convention can hardly be sufficiently commended. For some reason the press of the state did not seem enthusiastic on the subject and most of the work had to be done by correspondence. She was recognized throughout as one of the leading spirits of the convention.

The first meeting was appointed for 10 a. m., June 30, at Phymouth church, Indianapolis, and each individual writer who wended his way thither at that hour was in a state of uncertainity as to whether he thould meet any others of the guild or whether be should be alone in his glory. All doubt, however, was soon dispelled for, when the meeting was called to order at 11 o'clock there were present about seventy five of the brightest writers in Indiana, with a number from Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. From that moment success was assured and during each hour of the convention it became more evident that this was the beginning of a great literary organization that will have a place in history.

Of course as there was no precedent for a guide, and as there had been no concerted action, it was impossible to have so sytematic a programme as will be presented hereafter, but the exercises were of an exceedingly interesting nature. Each writer had been requested to biing an original article that had never been pub lished. There was a general response to this-invitation, over one hundred original papers being brought or sent, written upon every imaginable topic and in every conceivable style. Many of these were read before the convention and were enthusiastically received. There were numerous, delightful short stories, bits of history, exquisite dialect sketches aud poems without end. Among do many meritorious papers it would be almost impossible to discriminate. Perhaps one of the most important was a "Historical Sketch of Indiana Writers," by Ben S. Parker, of Knightstown. Certainly one of the most finished and scholarly was "A Successful Study of Shakspeare," by Miss Mary E. Card will, of New Albany. This lady is one of the most logical and philosophical writers in the state. In addition to several excellent productions of his own, Maj. Jonathan W, Gordon read a poem by the aged and blind Gov. Stephen Harding, of Milan, entitled "My Seventieth Birthday," 'Which was said by man? to be the finest literary production of the convention. The dialect sketches of Miss Jennie S. Judfon, of Paris, 111., and of R..L, Dawson, and the charming poems of Mrs. Jordon, of Richmond, were received with much applause.

Terre Haute was also creditably represented by Mrs. B. F. Swafiord and Mrs. Ida May Davis, each reading a very fine poem. Judges McNutt and Long and Dr. H. W. Taylor were down on the programme, but were detained by business, much to the regret of the audience. It would be a pleasure to mention each individual paper, if space would permit. When one considers that most of these writers are well-known through the newspapers and magazines, and that all brought their best productions, it will be understood how thoroughly enjoyable was the entertainment. During the last evening some of the best musical talent of Indianapolis, under the direction of the talented Mrs. Leon Bailey, contributed their services, and J. W. Riley, who has no superior in his department, gave several of his delicious dialect representations. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that when the next convention meets, Plymouth church will not be large enough to hold the audience.

What a pleasant task it would be to give a pen picture of the many notable people who met together at this convention Ex-Governor Will Cumback, who can make a political speech, read a tender poem, run a camp meeting and flirt with a pretty woman, ail with equal facility: ex-Governor Porter, bland, smiling ana courteous Colonel J. B. Maynard, blunt, rugged and full of eloquent fire Judge Clarence Buskirk, lawyer and poet Gus. C. Matthews, editor of the Currant and one of the ablest writers in the country Mrs. M. V. Bates, the bright eyed, sweet-faced author of "ManitonL. May Wheeler, the able advocate of equal suffrage Mrs. M. H. Catherwood, with her pretty stories and still prettier baby that forcible write?, Ldulse V. Boyd Emily Thernton'Charles, with her poetic soul Jennie Paden with the girl's face and the woman's genious where, indeed, would the list end. And who could write of this distinguished gathering without describing its president, Maurice Thompson, lawyer, poet and scientist? Tall, slender and gentlemanly in appearance, with dark eyes, hair parted in the middle in a Prince Albert coat, with

eye glasses and cine, retiring in disposition yet ready with forcible speech when occasion demands, digniGed in bearing, yet gentle and sweet in manner, be

one of the very few writers who realize the ideal we had pictured when reading their writings.

A word as to. the objects and the future of this "Convention of Western writers." It is the intention to make it a permanent affair and of more importance than a mere meeting to exchange social greetings and read essays It will enable authors tcf become acquainted and to co-operate in whatever isof mutual benefit and it will °®.er an opportunity for tbe discussion of such topics as are of special interest to those who write, such as "Methods of Composition," "The Future of American Literature." "Financial Compensation for Literary Work, etc., etc. It will develop and encourage talent and give young writers a chance to meet those who are older and more experienced, while the latter make profit by an interchange of ideas. To establish and perfect an organization of this kind requires much time and thought, and for tbis reason it was considered expedient not to submit a constitution and arrange a plan of work until after some deliberation. The convention therefore adjourned to meet Tuesday, October 5th, for permanent organization. In the meantime the officers of the convention will meet with the executive committee soveral times for consultation. In all probability there will not be a general reading of papers in October, but a few will be selected for this purpose. The subject for discussion will be "How to Secure an International Copyright Law.

IDA

HARPER.

HOOSIER LITERATURE.

Indiana Coming Into Prominence in This Line—A Terre Kauteans Views. An Express representative was engaged in conversation the other day with a prominent and well-known citizen^of this city. The talk drifted to thei meeting of the literary people in Indianapolis this week. Said he: "Indiana has, and is at the present time turning out many literary persons. Some have obtained national reputatioas while there is a multitude whose fame is not so far reaching. I think it is a fact that we surpass our neighboring states, but on the east and on the west in a literary point of view, Ohio and Illinois both have many persons of literary note yet for the number and general worth of productions I think Indiana deserves to be ranked before Ohio and Illinois. "The fact is Hooser literary talent has not been appreciated until recently. The east and south have been wont to look upon Indiana as a western state and the people somewhat inferior to those of their own territory. Why, during the war, the southerners did not think the Indianians could fight but they soon found out there was something of sterling worth in the Hoosier after all. So it has been with the literature of this state. But of late the abilities of Indiana writers has been .recognized and their productions appreciated. Even in some of the states farther west, beyond the Mississippi, the

Hoosiers are sneered at. Perhaps these jeers may have served as an incentive to us to push forward and cbtain a front rank in the literature of the country, as well as in other fields of work. "Perhaps it may be said that the somewhat tardy development of literature in Indiana is due particularly to the fact that we have no big city, such as Naw York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, and the like to give it character. All literary productions partake more or less of the character and influences under which they are written. But the one great charm of Indiana literature, the one which gives it prestage in the literature of the nation, is its bright, sparkling pungency. For terse, short, crisp, to thepoint articles, Indiana takes the lead. For wit and humor she has no superior. When a Hoosier h"« anything to say he can do it in a manner characteristic to himself and with a great deal of attractiveness. "Terre Haute is a literary rendezvous. We are proud in the possession of so many well known writers. Perhaps no other city in the state can boast of as many writers. There is one fact noticeable in regard to our literature, and that is its diversity. It seems as though tbeie are first-class literati for every branch of the profession. The people of Terre Haute, I am of the opinion, are taking a much more lively interest in literature than heretofore. It is a step in the right direction and will lead to good results."

FRATERNITIES.

Independent Order of Red Men. The Terre Haute Red Men went to Clay City yesterday to participate in the celebration given by the Red Men of that city. The town was full of people, and they had a large procession and many other things coming with the Fourth. The band from Harmony was there dressed in their new uniforms. One feature of the day was the mock capture of a paleface. But, by chance, he happened to be a colored man, and editor ef the Clay City Reporter at tha. They went through all the det'ails of a long chase, final capture and scalping, making the most laughable farce witnessed for a long time. The order of this city speak very highly of the treatment received by them at the hands of the Clay City order, and promise to return the favor some time in the future.

Knights of Pythias.

The statment that has recently been passing current that the excursion rates to Toronto in July are intended exclusively for sir knights is wholly erroneous. The rate of $9.85 from Indianapolis is open to anyone who may wish to go. It is anticipated that a large number of persons from the city will attend the immense gathering of the knights.

WALKS AND TALKS.

The fining of one physician by the mayor has stirred the others up, and they are reporting to the board of health when called to attend a case of contagious disease. Said a well-known physician to an Express reporter: "If all cases had been promptly reported to the board there woula have been several lives Baved in Terre Haute the past year." "I tell you whal is a fact," said another physician, who was standing near, "if the people of Terre Haute knew the condition of the slaughter houses they would hold an indignation meeting and demand that a central slaughter house be built, and the slaughtering be done under the supervision of the board of health.'

3.—EL

Partido,

the liberal government organ, announces that for two weeks printed documents have been in circulation in this capital calling upon the people to take up arms and overthrow the present administration, and naming General Negrete as comman-der-in-chief of the proposed revolution army. General Negfete has himself issued a circular dated La Barca to the same effect. The government authorities say that Negrete is harmlessly insane upon the subject of revolutions and that thiB is one of his periodical attacks. Several similar reports of outbreaks have been circulated reoently, but they hare been

LOCAL INDUSTRIES

A Review of Business Transacted WSn This City for the Past Week.

What Has Been Going On in Our Varioua Industrial Establishments iV

News From the Nail-Works— The Production of Flour—Other Items.

LOCAL INDUSTRIAL.

Business Remains Without Material Change. Business in this city is very light, showing no gain or no loss over last week. Farmers are all harvesting, and not many of them have been in town during the past week. There seems to be a general desire to keep all the jponey obtainable, and to wait for better times before even buying the needs of life. Some houses in this city and some mills are having a good trade, but the general situation is very quiet. Most of the mills are running, but their work is almost all in the repair and small job line.

Coopering.

Nichols' cooper shop is running full time, employing twenty-three men and turning out an average of eighty barrels per man a week. The coopers are dependent on the millers, and when the mills run full time they have all they can do, but now only a few of the flour mills are running, and those at slightly reduced capacity. Mr. Nichols is filling up the hollow behind his shops, preparing to build an addition as soon as trade demands it.

Gilman & Reynolds are running in all departments and are having fair trade. Do not anticipate increased business soon, as the cooperage season is almost over.

John F. Brinkman's stare factory is running partial capacity. Business is light. He is employing only about twentyfive men at present.

Plaining Mills,

Among the plaining mills business seems to be pretty good. Temple & Bell are running full time and are employing a good force of men.

Johns, Miller & Stelle report business as having been very good for the last month and predict a good trade for the balance of the year. They have booked orders during the past week amounting to several thousand dollars and have all they can well attend to. Are furnishing material for several houses being constructed out of town. All departments of the mill are running full capacity notwithstanding the dull season. At present they are making heavy shipments of walnut, oak, and sycamore to Chicago and other points.

Cliff, Williams & Co. are having good trade and the mill is running in all departments. They have no special contracts, there work being mainly small jobs in and out of the city.

The Distillery.

The distillery is running light, business being dull on account of the troubles in the pool. They have no special shipments. They are receiving corn very slowly, most of the farmers being too busy to haul it in.

Flooring Mills

The trade is very light among the flour mills as a whole. But several are running full time and are behind in their orders. New wheat will soon begin'to come in, and the millers will grind this, old wheat being rapidly consumed. Jencks & Merring and Paddock did not run all week.

McKeen ran only one day. Will start up again for two weeks. Willard Kidder ran day run all week and several nights. Sold all flour made last week, and is 2,000 barrels behind orders. Shipments are mainly to the south.

Conant & Son ran full capacity all week. Received one wagon load of new wheat yesterday. Are making several improvements about the mill, putting in wagon scales, water works, and building a fine new shed over the scales.

Kidder & Sons report business very good. Ran four nights, and day run all week. Shipped 250 bags patent to Europe yesterday, and 300 to New Orleans. Received two car loads new wheat from Southern Indiana Thursday. Area week behind orders on the patent. The following is the output for the week ending July 3d: Willard Kidder 3,400 Conant & Son 900 Kidder A Sons '.3,400 McKeen 300

Total 5,900 The Hndnuts. The Hudnuts are supplying their regular trade, and ran both night and day all week, consuming about 2,000 bushels of corn daily. They report corn coming in lively for this time cf year. The price of corn is a little lower.

Waluuh Woolen Mill*.

The Wabash woolen mills are running about the same as last week, and are receiving wool from Chicago and St. Louis mostly. The home product is not very large, and then part of it cannot be used in the mill. The wool received from Chicago and St. Louis is already assorted, while that from here is mixed, both bad and good being together. Have received samples of wool from Denver, but have not yet purchased any of it.

Foundries and Machine Shops. The Phi»nix Foundry and Machine Works report business rather quiet. All departments are running, mostly repair work being done. The Wabash Iron mill closed down entirely last night. Only one furnace ran last week, and that was to supply the feed mill. It is not known when they will start up, this depending on the amount of repair work there is to be done.

Austin's Scale works were very busy during the past week. They had more than they could attend to. Some repair work was done for the Nail works and Joseph Strong. They sold three track scales and five wagon scales.

Griffith & Hedges are moderately busy, and are running a good force of men. Prospects of a better trade soon are very good. They sold several tile tables, one tile mill, and did some repair work.

J. A. Parker is pushed in his work, running several nights last week. Has no special contracts been working mostly on repair work. Employing about thirty-five men.

Cliff & Co., boiler work, are very busy with repair work. Repaired eight threshing engines, a battery of boilers for the distillery, and made three smoke stacks for different parties. Worked night and day. Two-thirds of the work is out of the city. -t

Poultry and Kgga.

Arthur Jordan is gradually building up a

large trade in the poultry, eggs, and butter business. His business steadily grows, and at present has about twenty men on the pay roll. Shipped on an average of twenty barrels of dressed poultry per day: also from ten to twenty barrels of eggs per day. The run in

butter

only fair.1

THK EXPRESS, TERRE HAUTE, SUNDAY, JDLY 4, i«36.

J. E. 8ullivail is doing a lively busi

ness and has ever since ne came to Terre Haute. Last week he shipped one car load cf livestock to Indianapolis, 115 pounds of dressed poultry and 98 pounds of eggs. He isemploying about the same force as list week.

The Nail Works.:

The Nail works ran steadily all week. The puddling department ran double turn, eqph turn making three heats. This is sufficient to supply the iron used by the factory. There is but one factory in operation, the old one, and in the neighborhood of eighty machines have been raiming. The outpnt of nails for the past week was somewhat greater than for several weeks past. Over 3,000 kegs were turned out. The demand for nails continues about as it has been for the past few weeks. Repoits from the east are more encouraging than they have been. There have been quite a number of mills in the east starting up. It is to be hoped that the tide has turned in the iron business.

There seems to have been nothing done toward a settlement of the differences between the nailers and company. Nothing could be ascertained, yesterday, on the subject whether or not the Mingo compromise scale was to go into eflect in this city. The nailers are reticent upon such matters.

The Newbarti.

The Newharts are rapidly getting their new machinery in and the mill is neaiing completion, but they will not be able to start up for about two months. The corn cribs are being rebuilt and already they are hauling in corn. The main building, mainly two stories in height, but part will be three stories.. ..
