INDIANAPOLIS has beeu chosen as the headquarters for the National Federation of Labor for the next few years. That is a victory for the Hoosier capital. John McBride, of Columbus, O., President of the United Mine Workers was elected President of the American Federation of Labor, defeating Samuel Gompers, who has been president since 1882. Both Gompers and McBride are conservative men and level headed in their advice to the organizations which they control. They seem to be practical men, desiring the good of their orders and workmen in general, rather than demagogues looking after their own aggrandizement and personal emoluments,
llow Monroe While Mot His Death.—A Letter Giving the Exact Facts.
The following letter was received today by Mr. Alfred Rottman, the under taker, who went after the body uuds it gives the facts, we publish entire.
GENEVA, Ind., Dec. IT, 1894.
Monroe White, of Greenfield, Ind., came by his death on December 13, about 8:45 p. m. The decision of the coroner was by strangulation and drowning iu a tank of oil.
The circumstances in connection of this as near as we can tell, is it was a new tanked well, tank containing about 15 inches of oil. (His) Mr. White's tower being the forenoon and one, Mr. Black's afternoon and the tank springing a leak, Mr. Black waked Mr. White up to attend the pumping while he (Mr. Black) secured a tank builder to fix the tank. After examining said tank, Mr. White said he thought they could fix it themselves and they proceeded to do the same by placing punk, sand and rope pickings in the cracks from inside and doing the work from the top of the tank. Failing to stop the leak in this manner, Mr.
White proposed to go down in the tank and put the calking to proper place and Mr. Black advised him, (Mr. White) not to go down as there was lots of gas and it would be dangerous to go in the tank. Placing a short ladder in the tank he, (Mr. White) remarked, "I will go down and if I feel any trouble, I will come out." Starting down, after getting iu about even with deck, he (Mr. White) gave a cough and said it was very strong and in an instant was herfrd to fall in the oil, being below deck of tank, before falling. Mr. Black being afraid to,£o down after him, immediately went after help, so he lay the tank from half to one hour. He was undoubtedly over come with gas and probably in a manner dead before reaching oil.
Experienced oil men said there seems to be no blame attached to Mr. Black for not going down after liim on account of the danger. Mr. Black is feeling very badly and is much hurt over the occurrence to think he could not assist him.
Mr. Monroe White was well thought of although being here but the short time of four weeks.

The Greenfield Womans' Club Celebrates Its JSixtli Anniversary.
Yesterday afternoon the Woman's Club of Greenfield celebrated their sixth anniversary at the home of Mrs. Ephraim Marsh on North State street. The entertainment consisted of a sketching party. The ladies were each giveu a card with the name of a book written on one side and were required to make a sketch on the reverse side that would represent or suggest the title of the book named, when these were completed the cards were pinned to a curtain showing the sketches and then came a guessing contest, the lady guessing the greatest number of titles correctly receiving a prize. Mrs. W. S. Montgomery was the lucky guesser. The prize was a unique work of art in the way of a picture. .•*&•
There were very entertaining talks given by Mrs, Nellie Barnett, Mrs. W. O.
Bragg and Miss Lulu Dove. Mrs. Barnett responding to the sentiment, "The Ideal Club" in a most happy and enthusiastic manner. Mrs. Bragg responded to "Our Club" most loyally and to the point, Miss Dove gave us some "Peeps into Clubs" that were very entertaining and may be made quite profitable. Dainty and delicious refreshments were served consisting of chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, chocolate suchard with whipped cream, chocolate candies and cigars.
The club felt that they were indebted to the committee for a most delightful afternoon. The committee was composed of Mrs. I. P. Poulson, Mrs. Judge Martin, Mrs. Geo S. Wilson, Mrs. A J. Smith and Miss Ella Marsh. .The Womaus Club was organized six years ago through the efforts of Mrs. R. A. Black. When firsc formed the club was called "The Ionian" iu honor of Mrs. Black and she was made president, in which capacity she continued i'or three years. The first year the attention of the club was devoted to the study of cur rent literature, the second year to standard authors and their works, the third year to French history and literature, the fourrh t(i Russian and EntrlMi history, the filth and sixth years work has been miscellaneous in its nature, taking up some of the famous German autlio's and their works, Norse mythology, dipping I into theosophy etc., etc. In the club went into the National Federation of Clubs and were represented at the iirst Biennial meeting iu Chicago by Mrs. I. P. Poulson, Mrs. A. -J. Smith and Mrs. \\". S. Montgomery. The same year the name was changed to The Womans Club of Greenfield. The motto of the club has been followed by the members and has proven itself. It is, "We taste au intellectual pleasure twice, and with double the result, when we taste it with a friend."

SHOSHONE FALLS.
#ii
Phenomena Wliieli dive ICi.se to Stories About Tliis Wonderland.
Strange stories aro told of phenomena that appear nt tliu Shoshone falls. Sometimes when tho air is perfectly still the spray arises several hundred feet above the walls of tho canyon and can be seen oil the plains at a considerable distance. Then for days and weeks at a timo there is scarcely any spray at all. Often the whole canyon around the falls will be filled with spray, and every bark and rock will drip with inoisturo. Again it will bo as clear as a iro.sty night under tho samo conditions from influences that no one has been able to discover or explain.
Often above the monotone of the falling waters weird sounds may be heard unlilco any that were ever named and can bo compared to no other, and again from time to time a sudden throbbing is audible, measured by regular intervals, like the beating of a human pulse. These, too, proceed from no apparent cause, and science has been unable to solvo their mistery.
At the crest of tho highest rock in tho center of the Shoshone falls is tho nest of an eagle, and i'or o-l years the .same bird has come regularly on tho ^(ith, 27th or 2Sth of March to repair and reoccupy it and raise a brood of young. Charley Walgomet iirst noticed her when he located here in 18(50. Tho nest was standing then, and as long as lie lived there, until live years ago, ho kept a record of her reappearance. She never varied more than throe days in her arrival. Since his time the record has been kept by others, who testify to the samo regularity.
Tho spray from the falls carries a sediment which clings like frost to the windows of the little hotel and can bo scraped oll! with a knife. Mr. Keller, who keeps tho place, says that they clean the glass every spring by laying the sashes Hat and pouring upon them a solution of vinegar and salt. After they have soaked for three or four days the coating can be wiped off with a cloth, but in a few weeks the glass is covered again, as if it was frosted. Tho scrapings look like the dust of lime. Tho same sediment clings to tho leaves of tho trees and vegetables that aro grown around the place anil can bo scraped off tho rocks and tho faco of tho bare clay. .—Chicago Record.

Everybody is invited to the high school entertainment next Saturday evening. Admission 10 cents, proceeds to buy books.
The pupils of the high school reported nearly 400 hours study outside of schooj hours last week, or an average of about 10 hours each.
The rhetorical exercises at the school hall on Friday night were a splendid success. The young people acquited themselves very creditably.
The new well at the school house is about 100 feet deep and a fine one. The problem of securing good, wholesome water has been solved.
A number of young folks gathered at the residence of Ellsworth Kimberlin on Monday evening to assist him in celebrating his 20t,h birthday anniversaij
The Morrison Bros, are crowded with orders for their regulators. They received an order for 21 regulators from one man last week. They are behind on orders.
Our high school pupils are highly pleased with the neat and attractive bills of the entertainment furnished by the Greenfield REPUBLICAN. They were fine.
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. McCord served an excellent dinner to J. W. Jay and family and I. J. Hauua and family on Sunday: the dish of honor at said table being venison from the wilds of Southern Missouri. Satisfaction shone upon every partaker's countenance.
A number of friends met at the residence of H. S. Davidson on Saturday to break bread and eat turkey. The occasion was Mr. Davidson's 00th birthday auniversary. Ye correspondent, owing to business engagements, was compelled to forego an invitation to join in the festivities. This corner of the REPUBLICAN wishes you many returns of this happy occasion.
Carl Morrison, the energetic Superintendent of the Universalist Sundayschool says that the following will be a part of the program for Xmas eve: songs, tableaux, acting temperance, short play, quartette, etc. The principal feature of decorations will be a beautiful water fountain. The exercises promise to be very attractive indeed. Nothing succeeds like energy and push. Such uusel fish effort demands a fall house.
The iuilividual who circulated the report that ye correspondent tried to influence Rey. Fish to refrain from preaching on the subject tf Masonry at the church, was either grossly mistaken, or willfully mistated the facts. We never said anything to Mr. Fish about the matter nor authorized any ono else to do so, and defy any one to prove to the contrary. We take this method of setting ourselves light, and believe that we have a higher regard for the true principles of the Order, than any one could have who would willfully misrepresent for personal aggrandizement. Truth stands the test of ages.
Great credit is due Miss Laura Hervey anil N. B. Gaskins for their untiring zeal in preparing the cantata, "Santa Claus' Workshop", to be giveu at the M. E. church on Xmas eve. Miss Hervey is one of Hancock county's most estimable young lailits and N. B. Gaskins a gentleman whose life is an open pa^e. Their labors should be rewarded by a large audience. There should be no contentions or bitterness between the two churches. There are enough people in the community who ought to be interested iu this matter, that both churches should have anil we believe will have large and appreciative audiences. If all who are standing in the corner shivering and snarling at other churches would roll up their sleeves and spring into action for the common good of humanity, true prosperity would certaiuly reign in the hearts of all.
