Baptists are Entertained. Thirty-five of the Baptist people who are holding a scries of meetings here, took dinner Thursday a' the home of Elder J. Harvey Daily
and wife. After dinner they sang some soul stirring songs and ail seemed to enjoy themselves. Elder Daily's father. Eider John R. Daily and wife were there from Indianapolis. Others came in and Elder John R. Daily talked from the Scriptural lesson. "The Lord's Portion is His People, Jacob is the lot
the people of God from Abel down to the coming of the Savior. He then called their attention to the cloud of witnesses then clearly pictured the great need of a Savior. "He found Jacob in a desert lar.d.
and Jacob is a representative ehar-|
aster." he said. "It was God who
found Jacob, Paul, and all these
representative characters." He then
showed how God,found Jacob and,
led him by his spirit. He drew a
beautiful lesson from the eagle and her young. "The Lord alone leads, and the Lord alone keeps them, as the apple of His eye," he assured them. This' was a little season of joy.

There is one thankless job some people seem never to tire of, and that is worrying over other folks' business, but no preaching against it has ever done much good, because such people are not usually susceptible to the doctrines of good common sense.

The#"king" is noted for his ability to slap speed marvels together, and the present instance is expected to prove no exception.

He felt, toward the end that barn storming interfered with his preparations to such an extent, that, he could not do himself justice in the big classic. This year he proposes to have no such handicap to contend with. Given ample time for training and experimenting, and thoughts of no subsequent bush campaign to worry him, he expects to show them all who is the. king, in real competition. A fine scramble is carded to ensue when he starts.
Urged to hurry their decision by a flood of applications that has been pouring in on them like a waterfall during the last few weeks, the entrants of the Be.aver Bullet have nominated Charles F. Keene and Charles L. Rogers as their pilot and relief driver respectively, and these men, being both designers and builders of the car, may 'be expected to get the limit out of it. Their racing inexperience, however, will make their chance extremely problematical. In the end an expert of repute may have to be secured after all. dw (Advertisement)

BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS
ADMINISTRATOR OF W. E. WEBER ESTATE SETTLES WITH T. H. I. & E. FOR $1,250—
TRIED HERE TWICE
The damage suit of Conrad Ostermeier, administrator of the estate of William E. Weber deceased, against the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Company, which started in the Circuit Court h3re yesterday ended suddenly this morning when an agreement was reached, says Thursday's Rushville Republican. Through the compromise, the plaintiff gets judgment in Hie sum of $1,250 and costs.
Since the start of the trial and two sides tried to reach an agreement this morning, the plaintiff's side of the case was completed and the jury had retired when the compromise was effdeted. The defense introduced no witnesses. The case was sent to this county on a change of venue from Hancock, where it had been twice tried, the jury failing to reach a verdict both times. Mr. Weber was killed in a grade crossing accident, and $10,000 was demanded in the suit. The costs in the suit amounted to about $300.
It will be remembered that Mr. Welter was instantly killed when a rig he was driving was struck by a T. II. 1. & E. car at Philadelphia, three or four years ago. He was a well known farmer, and resided southwest, of town.

A PARK CEMETERY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Now Being Talked or—An Entrance Through Three Acre Park Favored by Councilman Forest
A plan to improve Park Cemetery with a beautiful entrance from the soutli is being talked of, but it has as yet got no farther than talk, and a rough outline or sketch of the proposed improvement.
Jacob Forest, the florist, and second ward councilman, has been studying the proposition for some time and has outlined a plan to the other councilmen that would undoubtedly add permanent beauty to our already fine cemetery. A south entrance has been talked of for years, but has never gone beyond that stage. The plan heretofore has be.en to enter the cemetery from Tague street, which crosses Stale street where il curves out of towing Mr. Forest, however, favors the purchase by the city from the Suess heirs, the three acres of ground on the east side of State street and immediately south of Tague street, and which joins both the old and new parts of the cemetery at its eastern side. This plot of ground he would convert into a beautiful entrance way park, with a winding drive and walks and uch shrubbery as was necessary

sh»«ld b,e-
He
would have a beautiful gate-way erected at the driveway and footpaths and have a driveway between the park and cemetery.
Mr. Forest says this can be done at a reasonable expense for land and improvements, and that it would add beauty and be a permanent improvement to the cemetery. The land, he thinks, would cost between $800 and $1,000. Mr. Forest thinks such an improvement would also enhance the value of the properties on South State street, and help that part of the city iin many ways.
