COMPLAINT OF BAD SEWAGE
.1 I*. \LLEN ASKS COUNCIL TO UIMEDY < 'ON 1HTIONS EX1HTI\(j NEAR HIS HOME ON W AL- \| I' STREET—S\YS STENCH WHICH A RISES FROM CITY kuain IS SICKENING.
MATTER REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
!t is Proposed That the Council See To the Putting in of Tiling if I btrse Who Are Interested Huy the Til,--.—Other Matters Before- The Ciniiu'il Last Night—The Claim Ordinance.
Another complaint of bad sewage was made to the council last night, ['he complaint is made by J. P. Allen, who says that the sewage which empi from a tile into the rear of the D. \ Peregrine lot gives off such an i'ilor that all the neighbors are complaining. The tiling from which the sewage •mpties crosses Seminary Street just i t of the McWethy residence and • '•9 diagonally in a northwesterly c —Tj a If you want seats ^ ] f o r the College [ i Lecture Course ^ there are still a | a few left.

direction. It is tiling until it reaches the Peregrin lot. Here the tiling ceases and the sewage flows in an open channel to a culvert under Walnut Street. For two years a leak in the water main on Seminary Street lias kept the sewer flushed but two weeks ago the leak was repaired and now tinconditions are very bad. It was suggested by the council last night that the city put in tiling provided the persons interested buy the tile. The matter was referred to the committee on Public Works for consideration, however, and nothing definite was done. Only four of the councilmen were present last night the Democratic members being absent. Mr. Krelgh was there but after a long wait for a quorum to appear got restless and left. Finally all of the Republicans showed up and the meeting was called to order. A communication from Mr. F.-ench superintendent of the water works co. was read, asking the council to strip the trees on College Avenue between Hanna and Chestnut Streets. Mr. French complained that tindense shade there cut off all of the light from the arc lamps and made the street very dark. The mater was referred to a committee. In March, 1898, the late U. L. Higert petitioned the city council that the extreme north end of Locust Street be opened and that ceveral alleys be vacated. This was done but the council records were not complete in the matter. Jackson Boyd was before the council last night and asked that the records be made to show that the street has been opened and the alleys vacated. The council did as requested. Jesse Wells asked permission to connect his residence with the water main on College Avenue and the request w r as granted. The assessment roll for the improvements on Park Street were confirmed and adopted There were no remonstrances. The matter of the electric light over the abandoned Big Four crossing on North Madison Street was before the council. Persons who live on Madison Street had asked that the light be moved further north. This also was referred to a commit-
tee.

NSULT 10 COLORED MEN
colored men come out hear a white man tell
that they did not tell the truth and many of them were up in arms tills afternoon. The meeting tonight
piomises to be a thin affair.
There was a scene at the court house this morning that should cause all persons, no matter of what party, to do some thinking. Twenty Italians from Die A. & C. quarries had made application for naturalization papers, and today appeared to answer the questions and to qualify as American citizens under the laws of Indiana, which permit aliens to vote after ,i residence of two years. The men were dressed In their test an i were I not a bad looking crowd as crowds (go. The tiling that was noticeable | and that should give all cause for was: thought was (he fact that all were densely ignorant on all subjects, and especially on the subject of our gov-
ernment.
A considerable number of the applicants could speak English fairly well. The interpreter had stated that they wished to vote the Republican ticket, but most of the men fail-
unique in
many ways. One of the chief sources of amusement was the bank. Each guc t was provided with bank checks which were good upon the bank of the evening, presided over by Miss Pearl O'Hair. At the bank the checks were cashed in imitation paper currency which was good at the various "stores” set up for the occasion. At these stores the holders of the money could buy refreshments con-

NOTICE TO PATRONS
to recognize the names of the Republican candidates other than Taft. All were avowed polygamists. None had any idea of our government, or the issues of the campaign except that thay had been told by the interpreter that a vote for the Republican party meant higher wages. Tims the will of the people of Greencastle city and township is to be put in jeopardy by the votes' of such as these. We care not what party ticket they vote. They tiave no moral right to (ast a ballot till they understand, in some degree, the issues of the campaign, the meaning of Republican government and the meaning of citizenship. Our sttHe law is grossly at fault in allowing these men to vote after two years and under conditions sucl. that no one knows whether they have been here that two years or only two months. The national law contemplates a minimum residence of seven years, and an educational qualification. The latter might well be ap-
plied in the present instance.
All were refused their papers on the ground that they could noi take the oath which specifically provides that the applicant shall not be an anarchist, or a polygamist in theory or practice. All wore polygam'sts in theory and could not take the oath
as required in such cases.
Later in the afternoon another Italian, who wished ills second papers, having received ills first papers in Logansport six years ago, came into the office. He declared that all the men who wore in this morning were polygamists, and as he expressed it “no good.” As the ease now-
stands no papers can be issued.
the committee appointed last Juno to look out for a suitable man .'or the presidency. It is known that this committee has agreed unanimously to recommend the election of Rev. Francis J. McConnell, I). !>., n >w pastor of New York Avenue Meihodist Episcopal church in Brooklyn X. V. The Bishops of the church, now . holding their semi-annual session in Indianapolis, are coming to ; ttend and to participate in the dedi ation. They and the trustees and thH'wives will he guests of the university at luncheon to be served in woman' hall at two o'clock, the facultx an! their wives being hosts and hostesses. At three o'clock nil of these guests will be taken to Meharry Hall, where all citizens and students who please, n*iy meet and hear them in brief in formal exercises. About half pa-l three o'clock, a procession will form ‘ in Meharry Hall and march in order to the new library building, for a forni’il dedication ceremony. Tin doors of the now library will i el lx open to the public until after the n rival and entrance of tin- profession headed by the bishops, trustees an I w ives, out-of-town visitors, the in. ul ty and wives, home oontribmors t the library endowment. We think the public will approv< this very small recognition of tho . whose personal gifts and sa. ritlce have helped to make this addition to our city possible. To each of them we .have sent a special invitation and to them we grant the small privileg of reserved standing room. (\Y can not provide seata for anybody in Hitlibrary, unless for a very few g tests t After the entrance of this procession the doors will stand open freety H
every body alike.
In ease a rain should make Hit approaches to the building so muddy that a crowd could not enter withon probability of permanently in trritr the green and newly painted floors the doors will not be opened at al! (unless to a very few out-of-town people, after the ceremonies are al' over, because they will not have oth or opportunity to see) and the entir program will be carrie I through i Meharry Hall, with only a brief clos and benediction in front of the !
brary.

Delightful refreshments were served in this informal way. After the gum a 1 I teen chewed, each guest was given u chance to model his oilier gum into some figure. These were collected and many were the laughs that went round over the cleverly modeled snakes, dogs, cats, Happy Hooligans and other fantastic shapes. Vltogether the affair was one of the most pleasant of the . oting people’s parties of recent yoni-s. The guests all wish Robert many happy returns of the day.
HALLOWE'EN PARTY
Miss Ida Riley and the following young ladies rooming at her home, cave a pre-hallowc’en party on Tuesday evening: Misses Anna In.keep, Inez Gardner, Bertha Fry. Clara Scott, Dee Warrall, Mrs. Et ; a M Stephen:'. The house was decorated with flowers and decorations appropriate to ihe season. Music, conversation and games constituted the •vening's pleasure and were followed \ light refro: hments. The following were present Misses Lyon, Xewliouse. Downing, Hamil, Kaufman, Kurt'. Hammond. Sackett, Preston; lam h, ll oiseworth, Hickey, Webb, rioher, Hazel and LeGreta Ayres, Evelyn and Stella Holmes, Mrs. Ben
Riley and Mrs. Ed. Lloyd.
! Manly, of Hu- Republican party and the “$40,000, personally conducted ! special session.” The letter Is purely a campaign product. It waves the bloody shirt in a way that brings I back recollections of the days of the reconstruction. Hanly holds that the .-date is on Hie verge of going to the bow-wows. He fears greatly that there will hr- a Democratic victory, and prophesys all manner of dire misfortunes should this occur. Chief of these evils lie believes is the repeal of tb<- local option law just enacted. \s all Democrats who are temp -rance men have stated that ihe law must .-.tand, and as many Republicans have declared for Its repeal, just why tho election of the whole Republican ticket will help is not known In fact it is rather easy to guess that Hanly is more concerned In his possibilities for the senatorship than in Hk- temperance situation. And this senatorship will be seriously in doubt if Democrats are elected. It is probable that the versatile Hanly is putting in more than a word for
himself in these letters.

Two letters appearing yesterday in the Indianapolis News are so inter esting that iwe reproduce them:
Obi Soldier for Hryan.
While thanking you earnest for the great good you are doing by your manly stand In this campaign, I want to speak to the “old soldiers of the civil war" about the name of Lincoln, and to raise my voice against the party now in power shar-
ing any of his glory.
You remember, comrades, the enemy we feared most in the war was the guerilla, because he would fight only in the dark. Is this great party once the pride of Lincoln, this party that you and I helped create, nowafraid to fight in the open? Is the ammunition it uses in the election furnished by the enemy? If not, why does it fear to tell us before the bat tie is over where it comes from.? Think of Lincoln using his office holders to name his successor and the office that the whole people gave him to elect this successor? Was it for deeds like these that Lincoln lived or your comrades and mine laid down their lives? Can you march to the polls on the 3d of November and vote for the principles now advocated by this party with the same emotions that thrilled you when you came home from the war to vote for CONTINUED ON FACHB I M 11
