worth as an educator and a Christian gentleman. The address was unique and intensely interesting. He told of liis own conversion and determination to educate himself for the ministry. He spoke of the marvellous awakening of his nation and said every sign Indicated that Japan would be a Christian nation In a generation He spoke of the college of which he is the head and said there were in attendance four hundred young men and a third of whom were professed Christians and all were sympathetic with the Christian religion. He said the Orient was rapidly turning to Christ and that the Christian church with its evangelistic, educational, and humanitarian agencies was the

hope of Asia.

THE LIGHT FANTASflG

The mystery of the murder of Otis Hendren on last Monday night is still as mystifying as ever. No new clows have been obtained by the police and detectives and it now appears as though the murderer would

not be apprehended.

The officers said this morning that another arrest might possibly be made but it is probable that they have no conclusive evidence against

anyone.

THERE IS NOTHING DOING

The City Authorities Make No Move Towards Forcing the Water Works t'oinpany to Make Good Its Contract.

Editor Herald: Some time ago I noticed in your columns an article calling attention to how the Greencastle Water Works Company failed to make good its contract with the city in the matter of public drinking fountains, and the resultant filth consumed by our citizens who drank water from the horse trough faculties furnished to supply drinking wate*’ for man ns well ns beast. The subject was so strongly put and so truthfully stated that I fully expectert the city authorities to take some action in the matter at an early day, but so far there is nothing done. The nasty conditions continue an 1 those makeshift public fountains continue as of yore. Do the city authorities stand in with the Water Works Corporation? Are the taxpayers of Greencastle not entitled to the sanitary service in the matter of public drinking fountains set forth in the, contract existing between the City of Greencastle and the Greencastle Water Works Company? If Greencastle’s officials have not the will to protect (lie people in their legitimate rights they should step down and out and give place to men who will not truckle to corporate greed or corporate dictation.

Throughout the West, tomorrow’s schedule will call for a number of promising contests. Several of the larger universities will clash on the gridiron in games which will tend to prove their metal. At Lafayette there will bo a general exodus of Purdue students on the special which will be run to Chiago. Under a new coach and with a splendid squad on the field Purdue hopes to redeem her past defeats. This afternoon Franklin will meet the Wabash College eleven at Crawfordsville when the “Little Giants” will put fortii strenuous efforts to better the score which DePauw rolled up against Franklin last Saturday considering the fact that Coach . Brown made no attempt to establish a record breaking score it would not be strange if Wabash succeeded in her designs. The following schedule includes the more important contests; Franklin and Wabash at Crawfordsville. Olivet and Charlotte High School at Olivet. Oberlin and Hiram at Oberlin. Indiana and DePauw at Bloomington. Illinois and Monmouth at Urbana. Notre Dame and Hillsdale at Notre Dame. Grand Prairie and St. Viateur’s at. Kankakee. Lombard and Noire Dame at Notre Dame. Towa and Alumni at Iowa City. Knox and DePaul at Chicago. Michigan and Case at Ann Arbor. Earlham and Antioch at Richmond Chicago and Purdue at Chicago. St. Louis University and Missouri School of Mines at Rolia. Minnesota and Lawrence at Minneapolis. Michigan Agricultural and Flint State at Lansing. Grinnell and LeanJer Clark at Grinnell. Nebraska and Doane at Lincoln. Ames and Coe at Ames.

Report is that Dr. Andrew Stephenson, head of the history department in DePauw University, expressed his views on dances to his class in French revolutional history yesterday. Dancing in DePauw is forbidden, and this rule is enforced. Dr. Stephenson said the only objection he had to student dances was that he was not among those invited that ho was willing for the students in his department to have three dances a week if they came up with a good lesson each morning. But if It became a habit with the man who is studying history to appear in the mornings with a sleepy look and no knowledge of the assignments when there are no dances he took it as a sign that they had been doing tilings perhaps worse.

Goes Over Until Monday. The case of Boomer vs. Pollum, on contract, wherein the ioint at Issue Is a domestic gas lighting plant, was heard by Judge Rawley today. After the evidence was all in His Honor suggested to the parties to the suit that the evidence subnilttel was incomplete and unsatisfactory and to render an equitable decision was practically impossible, hence he suggested that the plaintiff ami defendant each secure an expert to give the gas plant a thorough examination and test and report the result to the court at as early a date as possible, in the meantime he would take the case under consideration.

HOSPITAL FAIR A SUCCESS

IS DePAUWS ‘'MOTHER”

NOTED JAPANESE TALKS

Dr. U. Sasamori, president of Chlnzel College, at Nagasaki. Japan, delivered an interesting talk at chapel service this morning, where he received a hearty welcome from DePauw studnts. Dr. Sasamorl is acting as the fraternal delegate of the Methodist Church of Japan to (Ionera! Conference at Baltimore. Ho

With the rapid completion of the new DePauw Library, which building will become the latest addition to the University circle, comes to mind an interesting fact concerning Mrs. J. R. M. Allen who might well be called “A mother of DePauw.” Mrs. Allen has had the pleasure of seeing the laying of every corner stone, and dedicatory exercises for every building on the college campus even to the first building erected in 1S3C. Such a record is remarkable and unique in extreme. Mrs. Allen is the mother of Walter Allen, of the class of 1880, and is at present enjoying the blessings of longevity at his home. She has reached the unusual .age ' 9;I years but still enjoys fairly good health. She has two daughters both of whom graduated in the class of 1873 and who now live at Los Angeles, Cal., namely, Mrs. James Hawk and Mrs. M. M. Bovard. All of her sons-in-law

A Timely Sermon. The tragic death of Otis Hendren

cure tickets of admission at the door, ed number will easily be secured.

The Hospital Fair is proving a big sniccoss. Yesterday the receipts amounted to more than $109 and today it is expected that much more w ill be taken in by the women. The dog and pony show at the opera house is proving to be a big attraction and last night two large audiences attended. The receipts of this show’ will go to the Hospital Fund. All of the booths are doing well and the receipts from this source are encouraging. Especially well are the home-made cakes and other p stry selling. The receipts from that booth are probably larger th-n any other. The Bainbridge band and a piano and drum are furnishing mu-

Ijirge Crowd Last Night. Last night a large crowd was out and tonight another large one is expected. There will be two dog and pony shows tonight as last night. The first begins at 7 o’clock and the second at 9 o’clock. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Hampton received the silver cup given yesterday for the prettiest eliihl, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hughes won second place. In the foot race the little Pierce boy reached (lie tape first and received a knife. The little McIntosh lad was second. Plan to Raise Much Money. A scheme to liaise a subscription fund was started yesterday. David Houck. Charles Barnaby and S. F. Loekridge have agreed to give $100 each if the women secure 100 persons who will give $5 each. So far about 50 names have been secured and it is expected that the requlr-
