Many of the Soldiers Dead Attorney General on the Method of Settling. The disbursement of money to be refunded to thoee who served In the recent war. has caused Adjutant General Gore much trouble. One of the questions he met was whether or not the officers should be reimbursed for their sword?, saddles and bridles. Some of the officers have kept their swords, while others turned them In to the United States government. According to the ruling of the attorney general, officers will be reimbursed for these articles, and those who have kept their swords will practically now be presented with them. The rolls of about twenty companies have been received, and payment will be commenced at once. Those who are entitled to receive the money are scattered all over the world, and many f them f'.te now serving in the Philippines. Tower of attorney has been given in many cases and the money will be paid in that way. The number who have died is surprisingly large and a liberal attitude will be assumed in such cases. The parents of those who are dead who were minors will receive the money due their sons and the receipt will be required from the father, if living, and. if not, from the mother. The parents of families of those who have died and who are not minors will receive the money and a receipt will be required, signed by all heirs. The amounts, In most cases, are not large enough to pay the costs of having an administrator appointed to receive the money, and so the authorities deem this plan best. A short time ago General Gore sent Attorney General Taylor a letter requesting an opinion on the law, and the method which should be followed. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Taylor sent the following reply: "Answering your letter relative to the proper construction of the act of 1S00. providing for reimbursing the officers and soldiers of the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh. One-hundred-and-flfty-elghth, One-hundred-and-flfty-nlnth and One-hundred-and-slx-tleth Indiana Volunteer Infantry and the Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth Indiana olunteer batteries for clothing and equipment charged against thera: "Saddles, bridles and swords come under the head of equipment, as the word is used In the above cited act. The act requires you to accept vouchers for the amounts of the clothing and equipment charged up to the officers and soldiers as shown on your books and the books and papers on file in the office of the quartermaster general of this State. The law further directs that such sums as are so charged on the books and roll in your office and in the office of the Quartermaster general against the officers and soldiers of such regiments and batteries shall be paid out of the treasury upon your orders. "The pay rolls, when signed by the Individual officers and soldier in person or by attorney, become a voucher in your hands, and you are authorized to pay thereon. I think that the individual who signs the pay roll executes the voucher. "The power of attorney duly executed authorises the same person named therein as attorney in fact to sign the name of the soldier and draw the money due him, provided such power is given in such instrument. To relieve your office of responsibility it would be proper for you to draw a check In favor of the officer or person having powers of attorney of soldiers authorizing same, and then to execute to the individual officer or soldier who has "hot executed a power of attorney, checks for the amounts due them respectively, and transmit all said checks to the captain of the company for distribution to the men. payments should begin as soon as the vouchers of a company are in your hand?, properly executed. It is not necessary at all that the vouchers for ail of th regiments, or even one regiment, should be In before you commence paying. I advise that payments be made at once, as wm as the vouchers for a given company, duly executed, are In your hands. All moneys not paid out during the present year revert to the treasury." A Crlmlnnl 3Inlprnctice Case. Jennie Hamilton, 411 North Senate avenue, charged with performing a criminal operation, and MIfs Clara Smith, residing near Sheridan, lnd., charged with submitting to the said operation, were arrested yesterday by Detectives Kinney and Thornton. Mrs. Hamilton, who has a woman's hospital at the number Klven, denies the charge. The young woman, however, tells an altogether different story. She said her coming here was tho result of an advertisement, and that the operation was performed Monday last. The detectives found several letters from out-of-town people which It is believed will throw much liht on Mrs Hamilton's work, which it is said hag beea carried on for several years. They also found a quantity of drugs and appliances Mrs. Hamilton is now under Indictment for ending medicines for unlawful use through the malls.

READY FOR THE CROWDS

EPWOIITII EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HOLDS ITS FINAL 3IEETIXG. Decorations of the flier Tent, Which Went Ip Yesterday The Coming Delegations. The days are rapidly approaching for the beginning of the great International Epworth League convention in this city. All the committees are finishing up their work as rapidly as possible. The homes committee has partly completed Its work, that of procuring enough homes to accommodate between forty and fifty thousand people, and it is now busying itself assigning persons and explaining the work of the homes or assignment booths. The mails still bring many letters from persons desiring accommodations, and the schedule of the special trains are being made out as fast as they are telegraphed in to the homes committee. The work has been systematically handled all along, it Is claimed, and there is not the slightest doubt in the committee's mind that everything will be In smooth running order before the opening day of the convention. Last evening the executive committee held practically its final meeting and all unfinished business was ppoken of. Several resolutions were passed, among them being one condemning the us9 of the title Epworth League by persons wishing to profit by selling fruits or other products It also passed a resolution prohibiting any restaurants or lunch counters around the tent on the courthouse square, believing that private enterprise will provide all the needs of this kind necessary. The reception committee Informed the general committee at this meeting that it would' provide several rest tents convenient to the big tent, besides the one which will be provided by the City Union Leagues. These tents will be used In case of sickness or accident, and trained nurses vill be in attendance. There will likewise be a room at the Statehouse and one at Tomlinson Hall for this same purpose. The general committee ha9 authorized a large Maltese cross to be erected above the entrance to the big tent, Instead of English's Opera House, as the decoration committee had decided, and an electrical display in the evening, in the Epworth League colors, of both the Church North and South. The contract for handling baggage and conveying the speakers to their stopping place has been given to the Bird Transfer Company, and It has agreed to do this at a reduced rate to any part of the city. The company will have a special office at the Statehouse for the purpose of checking and conveying the baggage of the delegates a3 soon as they register, and another at the big tent. The reception committee will have charge of the room at the Denison. which will be the general committee's and speakers' headquarters during the convention, and will be there to welcome visitors at all hours. The general committee or the free entertainment of speakers has practically $3,000 in cash. A special train to Richmond has been arranged over the Pennsylvania line, after the lectures Friday evening, for the accommodation of persons throughout the State wbo desire to attend the lectures. The quantity of rain that has fallen In and around Indianapolis and throughout Indiana relieves the anxiety that has been felt by many of those who have charge of the convention and they feel no hesitancy now, says Mr. Van Arsdel, of the hospitality of Indianapolis, inasmuch as fully 25,000,000 bushels of corn has been saved, which is equal to $3,000,000, and the people should feel so grateful and Joyful that nothing would be good enough to the visitors who are coming this week. . The Ushers' Association of the city has kindly offered to furnish thirty-five to fifty ushers to work in connection with persons having charge of the big meetings this Dr. Sisson, of Omaha, Neb., has written the homes committee that he will bring a large delegation from Omaha with him to the convention. Nebraska headquarters will be established In the Chapter house of St. Paul's Church, and the Woman's Home Missionary Society will establish headquarters In the second story of the same house. EVANGELIST MIMIALU Formerly Practiced Dentistry in This City. Rev. L. W. Munhall, who is on the programme of the Epworth League convention, is now located at Germantown, Pa. He will be remembered my many people in Indianapolis, having lived here several years some time ago. One of his warmest friends here is W. H. Smith, who remembers him as an energetic worker and a remarkably good talker. He practiced dentistry most of the time he was in Indianapolis, and It was mainly through h'.s Interest in Y. M. C. A. work that he became interested In evangelistic work. Mr. Smith says he is what one might call a self-made man, having succeeded to his present position, of one of the best-known evangelists in the country, through his perseverance and hard labor. Mr. Munhall's ancestors were revolutionary heroes, his great-grandfather, on his mother's side, having fought in the battles of Long Island, Y'orktown and Germantown for American independence during the war of the . revolution. His mother's father fought all through the war of 1S12, and Mr. Munhall himself enlisted in the Union army in the early part of the civil war as a private in the Seventy-ninth Indiana Volunteers. He was -only seventeen years old when he enlisted, but before the war was ended he fought in many of the important engagements, among which were Chlckamauga. Mission Ridge, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach-tree v Creek, Atlanta and Nashville. He was promoted for honorable service and mustered out of service at the close of the war as adjutant of his regiment. After the war was over Mr. Munhall studied medicine and dentistry in Cincinnati, and for nine years practiced the latter in Indianapolis. It is about ten years ago since he entered upon his present work. It Li said he has preached in every town and city in Indiana, and he was at one time general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. He has conducted meetings In ah the chief cities and towns of the West, North, Bast and South. He has been an extensive traveler, having visited the principal cities of Europe and Asia and Africa, as well as every nook and corner in his own country. Through his earnest work it Is said many thousands have been added to the churches, and it has often been sale! that there Is no more earnest or conscientious man in the Methodist Church than Mr. Munhall. He still has many admirers in Indianapolis, who will be pleased to welcome him this week, and he will conduct several meetings and .services which are noted upon the programme. Mr. Munhall was converted in this city and united with Roberts Park Chapel In the spring of It is eaid that since he began his evangelistic career more than 150.0 persons have been converted in his meetings. Mr. Munhall and Dr. Moody are warm personal friends, and are not ii any degree opposed to one another in either their principles or methods. 9 A It RIVAL OF DELEGATION'S. First Will lie In Wednesday Schedule of Other Arrivals. The delegation coming to the Epworth League convention this week will begin to arrive on Wednesday, when thiee delegations from Ohio, one from Dayton. Springfield and Xenia will arrive at 6 p. m. On Thursday will be three special trains from Chicago, the first arriving here at 1:30 p. m. over the Pennsylvania.

Ga., Is scheduled to arrive at the Union station over the same system at 7 a. m. A special from Norfolk. Va., will reach Indianapolis at I p. m. of the same day. The railroads have done much to encourage large crowds to attend the convention, and It Is said better rates generally wcr; never given Into Indianapolis before. The Big Four will have extra and special enrs on all it regular trains, a Kansas City delegation will arrive early Thursday morning on a special from St. Louis. Omaha and Lincoln delegations will come Tuesday on the Rig Four from Chicago, and the same road will carry delegations from Rock Island. Bloomlngton and Champaign, ill. The regular trains from

Cleveland and Dayton will bring In the Epwortnlans from those cities. Extra sleepers will arrive from Washington. D. C and Atlanta Thursday. The visitors from Cincinnati and Hamilton. O.. and Kentucky cities will come on the regular trains. Special trains over the Chesapeake & Ohio will bear delegations from New England. New York city and other Atlantic coat cities and Wheeling and Parkershurg. Va.. arriving at Indianapolis Wednesday. The C, H. & D.. the Monon and the L. E. fc W. have arranged for the crowds they will accommodate from the cities on their routes. The Monon will carry the "social special." on which will be the Juanlta Glee Club, composed of Chicago young women. Minnie E. Ollphant will have charge of the services on thl3 train, and many of the prominent evangelists will be passengers. The "social special" is a feature of all the big Epworth League conventions. Would-Be Missionaries Comlnff. Epworth Leaguers who come to Indianapolis next Thursday and the three following days must be prepared to be the target for no end of missionary appeals. The student missionary campaign, which is now In full blast on half a dozen religious bodies and which originated with the Methodists, is to move upon the league convention. The missionaries have engaged the hall of the House of Representatives in the Indiana Capitol, and from that advantage are to make themselves heard. The campaign is made up of young men and women who want to be sent to the foreign field as missionaries, but who have been told by the Missionary Society of the Methodist Church that it cannot send them because it has no funds. These would-be workers go out, therefore, to arouse interest in missions and Indirectly to get themselves sent abroad. They are covering the whole country and the accumulation or congestion at Indianapolis furnishes them with the opportunity that county fairs afford to local candidates for office. There are about five hundred of these would-be missionaries now in the field and a large proportion of them will be at Indianapolis. HAPTIST Y'OLNG PEOPLE.

Banners Avrarded to Junior Societies Singing and Addresses. RICHMOND, Va., July 15. After early morning devotional exercises and conferences in the various churches of the city, the members of the Young People's Baptist Union of America went to the Auditorium and resumed the regular sessions of their convention, the time of the morning session being consumed for the most part In listening to the addresses by W. W. Evarts, of St. Paul, and Prof. E. M. Klerstead, of Arcadia University, Wolfvllle, N. S. The first business of the afternoon session was the presentation of banners for the Junior work.

H. Roberts, of Utah, an avowed polygamlst, to the House of Representatives, and we do most earnestly call upon every representative and senator to use Ms utmost endeavor to secure the prompt expulsion of this B. H. Roberts in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution." This protest is to take the form of a petition which will be extensively circulated. Dr. J. L. White, of Macon, Ga., spoke on the vocation of the South, and Gen. T. J. Morgan on the vocation of the Nation. Officers Elected by the Y. P. C. V. LYNN. Mass.. July 15.

THE CROWDS DIMINISHED

FEOFLE TAKE KINDLY TO TIIE SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY. Plumbers Also Getting; in Line Clear Dealers Want a. Sanday Rest. The Saturday half holiday movement began in earnest yesterday, and Its effect was appreciable. People who kept their eyes on Washington street said the Saturday afternoon crowds were greatly'diminlshed, even when the bad weather and the fact that several of the big stores were open were taken into consideration. The merchants who closed their doors at noon and let their employes "run free" until Monday morning were as follows: Besten & Langen. Albert Gall. Taylor Carrot Company. William Haerle. Charles Mayer & Co. Julius C. Walk & Son. F. M. Herron. L. S. Ayres & Co. Bowen-Merrlll Company. The banks. The trust companies. Planing mill and lumber yard proprietors. Wholesale merchants. Up-town railroad ticket offices. Now that "the ball Is rolling" It is expected next week will see many more added to the list. Several of the retail cigar dealers are agitating the closing of all cigar stores at noon on Sundays. Most of them are satisfied that their regular trade Is not accommodated to any extent by keeping the stores open after noon and the transient trade does not amount to enough to warrant the work and time given to It. Among those who have agreed to close are Louis Deschler, Charles Meyer & Bro., F. C. Roemler, George Werbe, Samuel Pearson, John Rauch and Andrew Steffen. If the rest of the down-town dealers can be Induced to close it is intended to begin the movement next Sunday. A movement has started among the master plumbers of the city to close at noon on Saturdays. Quite a number of them have agreed to the proposition and little doubt 13 expressed about all of them Joining the movement. An attache of one' of the banks said It was a surprise to see the larger patrons come in early in the morning to draw the cash for their pay rolls. Though the banks doors were closed in the afternoon they, were not locked, and a few depositors called. The agreement was that this arrangement should be followed yesterday. Next Saturday afternoon the doors of the banks and the trust companies will be closed absolutely at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Heretofore the Saturday night crowds have not been kept back because of rain, because, husbands and fathers were paid Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night shopping was a necessity. Last night there were fewer people marching through the pouring rain. The prime movers in. the Saturday halfholiday scheme are persuaded that when the movement becomes larger Friday will become the weekly pay day in summer, and the Saturday "crushes" will be of the past. THE CIRCUS TRUST. Forepauffh-Sellst Show Represents the American End. The circus trust is probably the most closely organized in existence, for it extends on both sides of the Atlantic and Is owned by four men James A. Bailey, Peter Sells, Lewis Sells and W. W. Cole. In Europe the combination is the Barnum & Bailey show, now triumphant In England. In this country the trust is represented by the Forepaugh-Sells show, which will give two exhibitions in this city Wednesday. A resume of the growth of the circus institution is interesting. The era of the present form of circus entertainment began within the recollection -ot the middle-aged men of to-day. The greater half of the men who have made the clrcu3 popular In this country are still in control of the circus business of the country. Thirty years ago the great circuses of the country were the Adam Forepaugh and P. T. Barnum show, operating principally in the East; the Sells Brothers' show, owned and operated by Allen. Ephralm, Peter and Lewis Sells, and exhibting chiefly in the middle States; tha W. W. Cole show, whose territory was generally west of the Alleghenles and extending to Australia; the John Robinson show, best known in the Southern States; the Cooper & Bailey show, that gave battle Erinclpally to P. T. Barnum; the Van Amerg show and Howe's London circus. Of these noted tented exhibitions but three are in existence to-day; there are four, counting the Robinson show, but it is run, if in existence this year, on a small scale. . Old John Robinson was the first of the show magnates of thirty years ago to pass away. W. W. Cole amassed a great fortune, retired from business and his show passed out of existence. The Cooper and Bailey show, handled by the Napoleon of the show world, J. A. Bailey, forced P. T. Barnum to sue for peace, and a new concern was organized under the Barnum name and under the proprietorship of Barnum, Bailey, Cole and Hutchinson, the Cooper & Bailey show ending. Mr. Bailey became the real manager of the establishment and in time he bought out Messrs. Cole and Hutchinson, the Tatter retiring permanently from the business. Later Mr. Barnum died and after a period of five years Mr. Bailey bought the interest of the Barnum estate and became the sole proprietor. The Van Amberg show and Howe's London circus faded away many years ago. Adam Forepaugh died in January, 1300, and his show was bought by Messrs. Barnum, Bailey and James E. Cooper. The latter died two years later and Mr. Bailey bought his Interest in the show from his estate, thereby becoming the sole proprietor. The Sells brothers never had any partners. Allen Sells retired some years ago and died owning a large part of the city of Topeka, Kan. Ephralm Sells died last year and the two younger brothers, Levis and Peter, who had always been the active managers, are now at the head of the enterprise. Two years ago, when Mr. Bailey could no longer resist the urgent appeals to take his Barnum & Bailey show back to England, he set about arranging matters so he could continue In control of the circus business in this country. He had the directions of the tour of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, and he effected an alliance with the Sells brothers whereby their show was consolidated with the Adam Forepaugh show. He also induced W. W. Cole, who was living in retirement, although still in the prime of life, to buy an Interest in the Adam Forepaugh show and also one-half of the Bailey interest In the tours of Buffalo Bill's Wild W'est. The great tent of the Forepaugh-Sells show covers 15.000 people. It is said the operating expenses of the show amount to $7,200 a day. The show comes here from performances in the big cities of the East, and it has been universally praised. Among the performing animals in the menagerie are three distinct groups of trained elephants taught in different schools. Eight of the largest of the Forepaugh contingent dance a quadrille. Captain Woodward's seals and sea lions Is said to be the only troupe of the kind in the world. Another feature will be the unique performance of the baby elephant Cuba, an Indian zebra and a group of Hungarian ponies. Jules Carr's educated grizzly bears give another "animal act." The equestrian, aerialistlc, acrobatic and hippodrome acts are numerous and novel. Most of them were engaged in Europe. Among those most notable are the Florence. Miilette and Carl Damann troupes of acrobats and the four Hanlons, "gymnastic comets." HadJ Lessik's Arab acrobats and Prince Sanbro's Japanese Jugglers give a cosmopolitan complexion to the performance. The principal equestrian feature is the simultaneous appearance In three rings of the three women riders May Davenport, Marie Marietta and Sallle Stlckney, who hall from England, France and America in the order named. The contingent of male riders Includes A. M. Davenport. William De Mott and Oscar Lowanda. Other equestrian stars are Mile. Bonne, Europe's foremost high school rider; Walter Lowe and wife, breakneck Western rough riders, and William Gorman, the hero horseman of the world, who rides and drives thirty thoroughbreds at one time. The usual parade will occur Wednesday morning. Golf Medal Scores, The regular monthly play for medals in golf took place yesterday afternoon at the Country Club and a large number of players contested. Rain interfered with the playing somewhat in the afternoon and also affected the scores. The medal in Class A was won by George M. Catterson, from scratch, 107. IS holes. The Class B medal was won by Miss May Henley, with a score of SL handicap 12, net 69, 9 holes.

DR.

HANSLMAIR

To those who may not have read my former letters on Electro-Vacuum Treatment I have this to say: Many years of study and careful scientific Investigation devoted entirely to nervous and associated diseases and the treatment of many hundreds -of cases have enabled me to develop and perfect a successful method of permanently curing these diseases. It combines the curative properties of special forms of electric currents, together with the most effective chemical remedies. The whole plan of treatment Is original with me, and can only be obtained at my offices. Nervous diseases, varicocele, urethral and bladder troubles are local diseases requiring a treatment, the curative properties of which act directly and effectively upon the diseased structures. Trusses, electric belts, common electric batteries and medicines externally or internally applied as curative agencies, are absolutely worthless. Electrovacuum treatment cures such diseases by building up the broken or wasted tlsues and developing a strong, healthy growth of muscular tissue. ' There is no possible doubt about the permanency of tne cures effected, because I have the records of sever 1 hundred cases dating back a number of years. The treatment is absolutely safe, as I have never had a single instance of the slightest unpleasant results. It produces a cure that stays cured, because It restores the natural conditions. I have Cured Over 600 Cases In Indianapolis and vicinity and have several hundred patients under treatment at the present time. These people all Investigated the practical results of my work before beginning their treatment, and I earnestly invite every one interested in the subject to do the same. Almost all of those I have cured and whose addresses you can get at my offices, will be glad to tell you of their experience and knowledge o my treatment, If you DRESSED AS A WOMAN. A Person Named Schofield Arrested by the Police. ' About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon "Doss" Shafer, who patrols the tunnel, on South Illinois street, and several hundred people, were attracted by the strange actions of a "woman" wearing a flowery hat, a heavy black veil, a white shirt waist, a black skirt and black gloves. The woman was driving around the street In a tumbledown buggy and occasionally would get out of the rig and examine the show windows. Finally she went Into a millinery store on South Illinois street to see If her hat was on straight. It was not straight and the milliner was called upon to fix It, after which tho stranger again got into the buggy and drove through the tunnel. Shafer grew suspicious and followed the buggy. The woman entered Bryce's bakery, on South street and purchased some bread. Here, too, she attracted a great deal of attention. Every one was curious. Something was wrong, but no one seemed to know Just what. Shafer . saw Policeman Brooks across the street and they held a consultation. Shafer decided to interrogate the woman."
