INDIANAPOLIS is making arrangements to secure additional park facilities and to furthur beautify the parks they now l«-"~e. Boston, in the last few years, has i-ed by taxation and spent on parks, §12.000,000. All cities, even the size of oenfleld, should have public parks df're the citizens could meet and gather for recreation and pleasure. Is there not eome wealthy, public spirited citizen, wh- wants to leave a fine monument in tl'P way of a fine park? In the meanwhile our whole city can be given a parkli appearance by each person keeping their property in the best, possible condition.

C^OME practical observations and a close wuich on the columns of numerous metropolitan and State papers, fail to show mi phenomenal business boom. The increased business activity which was procl*''ired by the Cleveland newspapers aiong during the summer seems to have been unable to keep up the pace and is now dropping to the rear. The bulletins announce still lower prices for corn, wheat, oats, cattle, hogs and sheep. By thf time this Cleveland administration geib through the people of the country will have learned a most excellent lesson. Many people have caught on already.

promoters and managers of the Pacific lailivjadt, biiuuul bo piojadiu^d a&ainst them. Again, the Western railroads have held up the people of that section and literally robbed them by their high passenger and freight rates, especially the latter. We have heard of farmers who shipped stock and grain from the West to Chicago being compelled to pay the railroad companies more-money for freight than their shipments sold for when they brought the regular price. Such things have a tendency to create a prejudice and it ought. The Westerners have also seen many of the railroad promoters reveling in their ill gotten gains.

THE manufacturing firm of Davis & Rankin, of Chicago, have gone up the flume in a $660,000 failure. Their assets are only $200,000, or one-third of their debt. This is the firm that induced farmers and others in this and other States by devious and various ways to invest in creameries at from two to three times their actual value. It shows that those kind of business methods do not pay and that a firm dealing in that way usually gets its just deserts. Such methods result in failure all along the line. Of aU the ereameries sold in this vicinity, viz.: Greenfield, New Palestine, Morristown, Wilkinson, Fortville and Cumberland, the latter is the only one that has ever run with any degree or success. The stockholders of all the others lost money, and will not shed many tears over the Davis & Rankin failure.

HYDRO-CHLORICacid is to be substituted for nitro glycerine in shooting oil and gas wells It has been found that the action of hydro-chloric acid on the limestone formation in Indiaua and Ohio is far more powerful than nitro-glycerine in opening up the Trenton strata, while it is much less dangerous to handle. The removal of a Ion of rock by the application of a ton of acid in the bottom of a gas or oil well means a great deal for producers and a practical test just made is said to demonstrate the efficiency of the new agent. An increase of 300 per cent, in the yield of oil and 400 per cent, in the production of gas in reported to have followed the use of the acid in certain wells. The acid is said to peculiarly affect the Ohio and Indiana limestone forma! ions and is valueless in the sedimentary deposits of the Eastern States where oil is found.

The New llailroad Time Card.

In another column we publish the time card so far as it effects Greenfield, of the Pennsylvania road which went into effect yesterday. The only change made from the old time card was the dropping of the train which went west at 10 33 a. m. The local work of this train id now done by train No. 21, which goes west at 11:53 a. m. It stops here and will carry both mail and passengers, and is really a more convenient train for this city than. the one taken off.

SENATOR Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, who is one of the most level beaded and aggressive Republican Senators, is now after a big railroad trust The presidents of nine of the railroads running from the seaboard to the West, have formed a pool or combination which, in accordance to the inter-state commerce act, is clearly contrary to law. Senator Chandler asks that the President and the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners act at once and the railroads be prevented from carrying out their designs. The Senator says that a word from the President to J. Pierpont Morgan would cause the whole conspiracy to stop. Has this country reached such a pitiable conditiou that one man, a Wall Street banker, J. Pierpont Morgan, controls both the financial and railroad interests of this country? It looks like he is the supreme boss of the Cleveland administration and is in absolute control. The American people, however, have become righteously indignant, and once they get a chance at this money shark Morgan and the men he controls, they will be swept off the political board forever.

THE 16TH ANNUAL REUNION

Of the 57th Regiment at Charlottesville, Wednesday and Thursday, October 9th and 10th, 1885.

It is a matter of congratulation that this reunion was one of the most satisfactory and successful in the history of the regiment. The citizens spared neither time nor expense in preparation. On no previous occasion has there been such a display of flags and bunting, many private residences showing unusual taste in decoration as well as business places. Our little village blossomed out everywhere, and every door waB thrown wide open to receive her honored guests, who began arriving on the morning trains Wednesday and by private conveyances. The 2:28 train from the east and the 5 from the west were met by the band and comrades, with carriages for the ladies. The incoming visitors were taken to headquarters in the Odd Fellows hall and registered and assigned to their places of entertainment. We regret that there were not enough veterans to accomodate all who placed their hospitality at the disposal of the entertainment committee. In the evening a magnificent catnp fire was held in the M. E. church. The large and commodious building was densely packed, persons standing in the aisles, and every available nook and corner. On the outside a crowd sufficient to fill the house, catching what they could of the speeches and music. The church was tastefully decorated with flags and

bunting with pictures of George and Martha Washington and Battle of Shiloh forming part of the background.

Pres. J. F. Shultz called the house to order and with a few appropriate words welcomed everyone. The program of the evening began by singing 'All hail the power of Jesus name. Prayer by Rev. Albertson, of the M. E. church. The address of welceme by Eld. E. W. Hamtnon, of the Christian church (also a veteran) was fnll of patriotism and hearty good will for the Soldier. ''Marching Through Georgia" was sung. The response to the address of "Welcome" by comrade, T. J. Lindley, of Westfleld, Ind., was spicy and of interest especially to comrades of the regiment. Prof. Graham and pupil* next entertained the audience handsomely with a srng, Tenting on The Old Camp-ground," the yonng ladies were called back. The address by Eld. Gard, of Knightstown, was full af appreciation of the achievements of the soldieas and sympathy with him because of personal lnsg of health and business interests. "The Blue and Gray," a solo by Eli is, the little daughter of comrade Kock, was especially pleasing in softness aud sweetness of voice. A talk on care of soldier's orphans, by Prof. Graham told of the benefits of the Home provided for ihein by our State. A solo with guitar, accompaniments by Miss Daily tirou^ht forth applause from the audience. Fecitation, ''B tie o£ Lookout Mountain," was well given by Miss Ham won. Si^gi^g by Prof. Graham and pupils was cheered to the echo, they were callc-T .ck ths third time. Recitation, "The Irish Picket," by Miss Pet Roland, WAS IVII erol

and pleasing style with greut appiauae. Piano solo by j&r. Evan Hamaaon, jf Indianapolis, and vocal solo by Mrs. Bessie Hammon with piano accompaniments were excellent and called forth much applause. TVn the o-d soldiers indulged a little time in reminescences of soldier life, telling good humored jokes, &c., then closed one of the most

BUSINESS MEETING.

As previously announced, the association met in the I. O. O. F. hall to transact the regular business of the association at 9 a. m., Oct. 10, with J.

Shulz in

the chair. Communications of regret were read from absent comrades, to-wit: Thomas D. Mills, Gertrude L. Mitchell, Stanton J. Peele, H. C. Elliott and J. W. Jordon. A motion by Thos. J. Lind ly,-of Westfleld, Ind., was unanimously adopted, authorizing the secretary to express the sympathy and highest regards of the association to Maj. J. W. Jordon, of Louisville, Ky., who was prevented from being present on account of severe atihctiuus. A leicgitiiii iroiu. Auj. n. C. Elliott, of Lynchburg, Va, was then read, expressing his regret for not being able to be present. The committee on deaths of comrades reported the deaths of the following siuee lust reunion: John Fiobasco, company A. W. P. Wilson, company C. Charles Green, company D. T. Spitier, company I. B«nj. F. Yeek, company F. A communication frc'/i Ool. C. C. Hines, of Albion, Vt., was read by Comrade Craft. J. A. Craft, by consent of the association, was directed to express sympathy to Comrade Hines. A motion to record the death of thes wives of comrades was adopted. The following deaths were repjrted: Mrs. T. J. Wilson, Dec. 1, 1894. Arthena Bent, April 21, 1895. Mrs. A. L. Kerwood, April 24, 1895.

The selection of a place for holding the next annual reunion claimed the attention of the association Union City and Daleville were in nomination. After considerable disenssion, Comrade Lyt'e, of Union City, withdrew his motion, and Daleville, Ind., was unanimously chosen as the place for holding the next annual reunion. A motion was made to change the time ef meeting to September, which was amended to leave the time as it now is. The amendment sustained—the time of meeting as heretofore, on the first Wednesday and Thursday after the first Monday in October.

Comrade Wiseheart moved that a collection be taken np to repair the damage to the M. E. church. The motion prevailed and $8.80 was collected. On motion of Comrade H. C. Garriott, of Wilkinson, that the association by a rising vote, thank the citizens of Charlottesville and vicinity for their great hospitality in entertaining and looking after the welfare of the visiting comrades, their wives and daughters while they were their guests, and also to the Odd Fellows for their kindness in donating their hall for their meetings and banquet. M. M. Morris, of Knightstown, offered a motion which nuanimously prevailed, thanking Frauk Brandenburg for his earnest effort and kindness in procuring the Knightstown band for the reunion, and raising the money to pay the same.

The next business of the association was the election of officers for the ensuing year. On motion A. L. Kerwood, of Muncie, Ind., was unanimously chosen President, and comrade Ephraim Forrest, of Daleville, Sec'y. and Treas. and fuither we thank the comrades of other regiments that live among us for their kindness in the noble work they done in helping us to make the reunion the grand success that it was, thus ends the 16th annual reunion of 1895. One long to be remembered by all present.
