The organization of the office is far in advance of what it wa9 on the 2od of September ten years ago. As is well known, it is Mr. Porter's purposo to complete tho work of the census as soon as possible after the actual enumeration of the population has been completed.

John Fox, pastor of Zion's German Evangelical Church here, who was dismissed from the conference, Saturday, on charges of intemperance and misappropriation of f nnds, to day said the trouble is not a local all'air, nor is it a new one. It involves the whole conference. There has been a division in the, church for several years, reaching from, the local preachers to the bishops. ? Rev., Fox has been identified upon the side of the minority, and so he was voted out of the conference. Of course charges were brought. They were of dishonesty, but he says they 'were not substantiated. The conference refused to investigate them, but acted upon the report of the committee. Rev. Fox has been in tho ministry, thirty odd years. He was presiding elder tor thirteen years without a change. Ho has his own congregation with him in this trouble. At Mattoon, 111., where Rev. Fox was formerly located, the people refused to attend the", church when they learned that their present minister was one of Rev. Fox's accusers. . State Woman-Suffrage Convention. The annual convention of. tho Indiana National "Woman Suffrage Association will be held at RushvilTe on Thursday and Friday, Oct 10 and 11, in the Christian Church.

It is earnestly hoped by tho officers of both tho existing State associations, whose names are affixed to this call, that the convention at Rushville will bo oneof the largest ever held in tho State. Let nothing prevent the attendance of tho members of tho 'two associations, and of friends of the movement. Helen M. Goujrar, Presideat. Zerclda G. Wallace, Vice-president at large. Ida A. Harper.

The. place became so notorious from tho frequent outbursts of blasphemy and disturbances of various hinds that it was determined to rid the community of the nuisance. Ashorttime since proceedings of ejectment were instituted, and the occupants were oustedftdncer which time they have been encamped on the hillside near by, and during tho late cold spell they have had nothing to protect them from the rain but the shelter a few small trics afforded. Among them is a colored man known as "Nigger Hill," who is in a pitiable plight. For the past live days he has lain npon the cold ground, with no covering save tho canopy of the heavens. He has had no medicine, has had not a single morsel to eat, nor even a drink of water to quench his thirst during the live days he has lain out there upon the bare hillside. When asked if they were doing anything for him tho occupants of the air-castle replied that he was in a tit and could eat or drink nothing. What keeps him alive is a mystery. Nothing is being done excepting that his tenderhearted aseociates turn him over to keep the sun-beams from his face. Reunion of .the Eleventh Cavalry. Eprciat to the Indianau Journal.

Atlanta Constitution x When the Georgia farmers and editors were in Ohio, Mr. Ben Russell, of the Bainbridgo Democrat, made a short " speech, in which he alluded to the fact that ho had fought at Gettysburg. A short time after a lady approached Editor Wrench, of the Dalton Argus, and with evident emotion asked him: "Where is the raember.of your party that fought at Gettysburg?" Editor Wrench hesitated about pointing Mr. Russell out, fearing that under the influence of evident grief and excitement, the lauy might reproach him. Some ono else, however, pointed him out, and as tho lady started towards him Mr. Wrench turned away, not caring to witness what might be a painful and embarrassing scene. Tho ladv reaching Mr. Russell, said: "Did vou tight at Gettysburg!" "I had that honor, madam," replied Mr. Russell, modestly. "My husband was killed at uettysburg." said the lady, hardly able to fashion the words with her trembling lips. "That battle was the occasion of great grief, madam, to thousands of good women on both sides of the line," replied Mr. Russell, bowing his head. I just wanted to say to your" and here the lady's voice failed, and putting out her hand she grasped the hand of tho Georgian, and nobbing violently held it a moment and then turned away. Hundreds of men and women witnessed the incident, but hardly one with dry eves. That sign of forgiveness and love that lived through bitter loss and bereavement, was more eloquent than words could have been. That woman, God bless her wherever she is this morning, in her nobil. it3 contradicts tlie testimony of a thousand M IS. Canlields. . i What Ills Life Was Worth. Chicafro Journal.

The visitor was a man for whom tho Judge entertained a pretty decided dislike. 'Well. Brother Lightweight," ho said, curtly, "what can 1 do for yon this morning!" "Oh. nothing." answered the caller; I merely dropped in for a few minutes." A disagreeable silence ensued. Then the .Tndtre looked up and asked: "Brother Lightweight, why uon't you get- married!" Because I can't allord it. How much do yon suppose it costs me to live now!" The judge declared that he could not guess. Well, it costs me all of $,000 just for mv own living."
