DIED THURSDAY

Stamp Clerk at Indianapolis

Thirty-Four Years.

William W. Welling, brother of Mrs. Jerome Black, a brother-in-law of Dr. J. P. Black, of this city, and a son of Hamilton Welling, of Buck Creek township, who had been in the mail service since 1869, thirty-four years of this time as stamp clerk in the Indianapolis postoffice, died at 4 a.m. Thursday at his home, 2114 North Pennsylvania street, in Indianapolis. He had been confined to his room for five months. The cause of death was stone in the bladder.

He was born in Harrison county, Ohio, May 14th, 1840, and removed with his parents when about ten years old to Hancock county, where his father, Hamilton Welling, is still living in Buck Creek township, at the age of ninety-six years.

Mr. Welling enlisted in the Eighth Indiana regiment of infantry and served in Captain Samuel Dunbar's company until severely wounded in the storming ofVicksburg, when he was sent home. In 1869 he was appointed a mail clerk on the Pennsylvania road and served until 1872, when he was appointed stamp clerk by Colonel W. R. Holloway, then postmaster, and held that office up to the time of his death, through all administrations, except during the four years' term of Postmaster Aquilla Jones. Sr., under the first administration of President Cleveland.

During this long services Mr. Welling, who was noted for his accuracy as well as his kind attention to the public, and his never falling politeness, handled millions of dollars and never lost a cent to the government.

Besides a widow and his father, he leaves one brother, Frank Welling, who lives on the home farm near Cumberland, and four sisters, Mrs. Jerome Black, of this city, Mrs. Richard Powell, Middletown Mrs. George Russell, Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. George Black, Noblesville. Dr. J. P. Black, of this city, is a brother of Mrs. Welling.

Mr. Welling was a member of the Central Avenue M. E. church and of George H. Thomas post, Grand Army of the Republic. The funeral took place from the family home, 2114 North Pennsylvania street, at 3 p. m. Saturday. The burial, which was private, was at Crown Hill.

WILL REMAIN HERE

Rumor That Purchase of Indianapolis

Street Railway Will Cause Shops

To Be Abandoned Is Denied.

The rumor that the purchase of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company would mean the abandonment of the car shops in this city that are now in the course of construction is denied at the offices of the company. The barns and shops will be retained in Greenfield under the same plans that were being carried out when the purchase of the Indianapolis street railroad was announced.

The Indianapolis papers contained a story a few days ago that one mammoth shop to be built there would care for all the work of the several interurban lines of the system. This, at least so far as Greenfield is concerned, is untrue.

The shops are being constructed in the east part of town near the barns and the machinery will be moved from Richmond.

LOOKING OVER THE FIELD

Representative W. O. Barnard, spent a day in Morristown looking after postoffice matters at that place. The office at that place has recently advanced from a fourth class to a presidential office, making it necessary for Congressman Barnard to name a postmaster. Up to last Saturday there were five applicants for the postmastership in that place.

Hancock County Man Who Had Been Former Resident of This County Writes

of this New County in the

Southwest.

Mrs. Charles Cox, who is well known in this county, writes to the Carthage Citizen from the Panhandle of Oklahoma as follows: "Please allow me space in your valable paper to express my appreciation to scores of old pupils and friends who so kindly remembered me in a birthday post-card shower, as it will take some time to answer each separately. "I was asked in a number of the* cards how this country looks and what it produces. It is a treeless plain, which, along the streams, is gently rolling, tho elsewhere it is nearly level. The straight roads and the comparatively level country enable one to travel easily over long distances and to se8 many miles in every direction. This is the autoist's paradise. Nature has solved the good roads problem for this country. Of course, along the few streams are sand hills and draws, but the mainly traveled roads avoid these. Our ele vation is about thirty-five hundred feet, and the country rises gradually to over four thousand feet near the foot hills of the Rocky mountains, which are eighty miles west of us. The level land is dark, the heavy soil is of great depth and fertility and is covered with short buffalo grass, which furnishes abundant pasturage for stock, summer and winter. The rolling land is sandy and produces bunch and blue stem grasses which are valuable for grazing and for hay. "Water is found at a depth of from fifty to two hundred twenty-five feet. It is soft and is excellent for all purposes. The supply seems inexhaustable. We have short, mid winters, quite unlike the changeable weather of Indiana—from mud to zero and zero to mud. Our summers are long and pleasant with nights cool enough to make blankets comfortable and we are free from the buzzing song of the mosquito. One is able here to spend the nights happily in the hands of Morpheus and to arise next morning devoid of that tired feeling common to so many Hoosiers. "Many groves and orchards have been planted within the past three years, most of which are doing well. Vegetables and all farm crops from wheat to cotton, do well here. Old ranch men say that this is the coldest winter they have experienced for twenty years yet I have driven to school many times without wraps. "Almost every state in the union is represented here though the settlers are principally from the North and East, and our associations with the different classes have been very pleasant and agreeable. We were very greatly pleased to be remembered by so many of our old friends and neighbors and we extend to them and also to those who were unaware of the shower our most sincere thanks and we assure all that we still hold them dear in our memory."

IN SERIOUS CONDITION.

Mrs. Cora Dillon May Not Recover From Injuries Received at Dunreith. Mrs. Cora Dillon, of Rushville, well known in this city, who was injured in a railroad accident when the buggy in which she was riding was struck by a fast Pennsylvania passenger train at Dunreith a week ago last Saturday, may n'ot recover from her injuries sustained in the accident. From Rushville, where the injured woman was taken on Monday following the accident, comes information that Mrs. Dillon is suffering with concussion of the spine, liver and spleen as the result of being hurled sixty feet when the buggy was struck by the rapidly moving train. Miss Grace Frazier, the other victim, is fast recovering and was not as badly injured as her companion.
