An attempt of a minor to buy whisky at the Higert saloon yesterday resulted in a good lesson to tinboy. The boy, Truman Hubble, who lives in South Putnam, represented to the bartender that he was 21 years old. The saloon man. however did not believe him and called tinofficers. The boy was arrested. Last night he was taken out of jail by friends who signed bond for biappearance this morning. This morning Hubble appeared before the Mayor and was fined $20. The boy pleaded guilty to the charge against him.

Hundreds who came down town last night to hear Sam Small were disappointed. Hundreds wore greatly pleased. The ones who were disappointed are the ones who could not get into the assembly room of the court house, where Mr Small spoke. Those who were fortunate enough to hear Mr. Small wore more than pleased. Although the speaking was? not scheduled until 7:30 o’clock, the crowd began (o gather before 7 and by 7 every available seat and much of the standing spare in (he room were occupied. Hundreds who wanted to hear Mr. Small were unable to get into the room nnd were f treed to return to their homes, without oven glimpse of the great evangelist. The meeting was ihe largest night meeting ever held in the c iunly. Mr Small spoke for two hours and a half and his audience was all attention during the entire speech. The evangelist discus - d the National issues of tin- eampuign.

PROUD OF ITS DRUM CORPS?

I

The general committee of DePauw University appointed to select a president of that institution to succeed Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes met Tuesday in Indianapolis, and unanimously recommended the election of the Rev. Francis .1, McConnell, pastor of the New York Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, of Brooklyn, X. Y. The call was tendered to the Rev. Mr. McConnell recently by a sub committee of the university, and he accepted. The action of the subcommittee was approved by the general (ommittee, of which Hugh Dougherty is chairman. The general committee also in- ! Ducted Mr. Dougherty to call a meeting of the board of trustees of tin- university, to he held at Greencastle, October 30, at which time it is expected the Rev. Mr. McConnell will be formally elected.

MANY “PREPS" EARN WAY

The Republicans arc surely proud of their drum corps. At least they seem to believe the people are fond of the music. Especially fond of it on evenings when the Democrats are having a meeting in the assembly room of the court house. The Republicans have rented the room facing Indiana Street over the Monarch Grocery. In this room are kept the drums of the corps and in that room the members of the corps practice. Why the members of the club always practice on Wednesday night Is hard to understand. The Bryan and Kern (Hub Ikis had meetings in the assembly room of the court house on each Wednesday night for several weeks. And on each night the Republican drum corps lias indulged in a couple of hours of practice. To say that the noise made by the drum corps you cannot call it music is very annoying to the speaker and liis audience is putting it very mildly. Are the Republicans sore because llit-y cannot get crowds out t > their meetings and are attempting to “get even” by annoying tin Democratic meetings? What is Hu answer? Will some one of the Republicans please answer?

The announcement that William Taft, Republican candidate for President, has cancelled all his day speaking engagements lias caused the local Republicans great disappointment. Mr. Tuft wasi billed for a speaking tour through Indiana and was to have spoken here on Friday morning. However, Mr. Taft has been bothered lately with throat trouble and has, at the advice of his physician, canceled all of his day speaking engagements. It Is believed that he will be able to speak to fill his night engagements. The Taft train was scheduled to be here at !• o’clock Friday morning. The State Republican committee stall's that the trip through the state will be made and that Mr. Taft will be on the train. He may wave his hand at tho people, but Mr. Hitchcock, the national chairman says that there will be no speaking by the Presidential rand Ida In.

Quincy are here the guests of their daughter, Mrs. J. B. Hamilton, and family. W. A. Durkin of Brazil who is working for the Big Four at Mt. Jackson transacted business in the city today. Miss Josephine Donahue lias mov'd to the cottage of Mrs. Mary Alison on the corner of Indiana and Larabee Streets. Mrs. Lillie Landes and her guest, Mrs. Jonathan Taft, of Ann Arbor, Mich., went today to Cincinnati for few days’ visit. Mr. and Mrs. John Doty went today tn Indianapolis where they' will spend the winter with their daughter. Mrs. Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Guy McJinsey of Vincennes were guests of Mrs. Mary \mes here last night, leaving today for a visit at Chicago. O. L. Jones informed the Herald that some one hung a picture of Mr Bryan in ills feed store window. Mr. Jones stated that In* wants it known that he did not put it there. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Brown of Boswell, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Selby Moler in Clinton Township were here this morning on their way to their home. Mrs. Brown is a Inter of Mr Moler

FAMILY REUNION

Prof. Kleinsmid, principal of the Academy, lias been making Investigations of late relative to the number of students in the Academy who are earning their expense. The result the canvass was rather surprising. Although it is not quite complete, the inquiry shows that at least fifty students are making their way, partially or entirely. The investigation was made during the middle week of the term, and Hie total earnings of these fifty boys for the whole term will reach the surprising sum of $2,500. Multiplying this amount by three and subtracting $500. which should be allowed for the difference in length in the second and third terms, we get sure total for the whole year of at least $7,000. In another institution, with three I : mes the number of students, the total amount of earnings of hoys working their way was $5,000 a semestre or $10,000 a year. This school Is under the shadow of a large and wealthy city, where opportunities for liyht work are numerous. It will be seen that the comparison is not at all favorable to DePauw. Doubtless a result just as surprising would be obtained from a canvass of the men students of the college proper. The experiment would be worth trying, too, for the figures thus < obtained would undoubtedly be a good advertisement to the university through their appeal to that class of young men who are ambitious and worthy, but poor and hesi-
