The State Board of Tax Commissioners held aa open teskon yesterday afternoon, as none of the companies which desired to be heard appeared In the morning. The Western Union Telegraph Company was represented by S. O. Pickens, who wants all the valuations fixed by the state board, lie said that all such apparatus as switchhoards belong: to the company and are a necessary part of it, yet the value of such things Is fixed locally when'tt should he fixed by the state board. There Is $26,000 worth of such property of whlch the valuo Is fixed locally. The Nickel-plate Railroad Company was represented by J. II. Clark, of Cleveland. .Mr. Clark maintained that as other roads are considered the Nickel-plate is as-esaed too high, lie objected to the method of valuation and paid the gross earnings should pot be taken as a Lasl?, but that the net earnings should be to considered, as it costs eorne roads more to earn a dollar than It does others. The local business, he maintained, la th business that makes the money for the read?, and his road has a through business in the State preater than local business. He said it coats his company S3 cents to earn a dollar, while it costs other roads from CO to 74 cents. All net earninss are used to ray the taxes levied in Indiana. The road was assessed last year at 102.000 a mile and Its engineer stated that it could be replaced for 510.000 a mile. Charles H. Gibson, of Louisville, appeared for the Louisville Bridse. Company. He asked a material reduction and said the bridge, as now assessed, should be worth J3.0iO.000. but it is not so. He said no objection had been made to this assessment at the time it was made because four roads wero at that time operating over It. The earnings have been reduced accordingly, and h thought the assessment should be reduced. To-day the Chlcapo & Eastern, Baltimore & Ohio and Vandalla roads will appear. A representative of the American Express Company will also be here from Chicago to answer questions resardinjj the mileage of the company. A year or two ago the company added to its peneral mileage the ocean mileape and asked that th valuation of the property should be divided by the total mileage thus secured to secure the valuation a mi. This the state board refused to do, and the company enjoined the board form collecting taxes on the valuation fixed by It. The ramo contention arises this year and the state beard will not consider the ocean mileage in calculating the value rer mil. It is) understood the company will aeerur another injunction. The case commenced Ust year ha not been decided as yet. and last vear this company paid no taxs in the State. Thus f ir forty appeals have been filed with the state board from counties, but it Is understood that many more are in the hands of county auditors and have not teen eent in. 'Bankruptcy Petitions.

Ilia debts amount to $1.1.74 and his assets to $773.18, of whlci amount Jiuo.Ol is claimed to be exempt. Calvin P.

ACTON SERVICES BEGIN

3I0ST OF TIIC MOnXI.NG DEVOTED TO BATTLES WITH COBWEBS. Some Minor ImprovementsDr. Bacon's SermonMission Statistics at Bethany. Acton Park presented a lively appearance yesterday. The day before was supposed to be movies day, but on account of the rain very little could be done out of doors and yesterday everyone scrubbed verandas, washed down the cobwebs from the walls, cleaned windows and gave everything in general a scrubbing and cleaning, and by 4 o'clock the cottagers were all ready for meeting. All of the cottages are not yet filled, but Superintendent Rev. B. F. Morgan says that they are all spoken for and will probably be occupied before next week. Acetylene lights are being put In the pavilion this season, making quite an Improvement, and the park grounds have been cleared of underbrush and the lower branches of the trees have been cut off, giving a clear view through the park. Many of the cottages also have been remodeled and the park Is regarded by the cottagers as being In the best condition for some years. The park hotel has changed hands and is now in charge of Messrs. Hubbard and Pritchard. The meals are S3 cents daily, and on Sunday 35 cents instead of 50 cents as heretofore. Itev. J. V. Dashiell, president of Acton Park, has made a contract for a forty-foot tent, to be erected on the south side of the square, which will have a seating capacity for 13Q or 200 people. It will be used for small gatherings, such as early prayer meeting, special services and the dally children's meetings. It will be ready for use by Aug. 3. The pavilion has. been thoroughly renovated and a new organ and piano put In. The floor Is covered with straw to keep the dust down. There is considerable talk of having a cement floor by the next season of camp meeting. This will be decided definitely at one of the business meetings of the board. The park superintendent has about forty benches painted blue, which will be distributed to-day throughout the grounds, and the crowds coming down, especially on Sunday, may find them more convenient than the grass to sit on. The religious feature of the meetings began yesterday afternoon with a spng service and sermon by Rev. C. E. Bacon, of Indianapolis. Dr. Bacon's subject was taken from the text, Romans i, 2: "The gospel of God concerning His son, Jesus Christ, our Lord." His subject was the character of Christ, the proof of His Inspiration of Scripture. Dr. Bacon said an invented Christ would be a described one. "lias It ever occurred to you that Christ Is not described in Scripture, but His qualities are Judged as you would of men who live around you? It is said that Byron analyzes his characters so they stand out as a conception of his own brain; McCauley says Bos worth's life of Johnson Is the best biography in existence, and expresses surprise that Boswell was without literary qualifications. But Boswell knew Johnson and simply tells what he knew. This style of the gospel writers is absolutely impossible if they. were fictitious They tell the story and evidently did not understand Him. The product of an intellect must ever be less than that intellect. The Inclination of human nature is to exaggeration. This is one of the causes of the evils of novel reading." There was no meeting In the evening. Today will be observed as Woman's Home Missionary day. The devotional exercises will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Dashiell at 10 o'clock this morning. At 10:20 Mrs. F. II. Holt, of Indianapolis, will read a paper on "Utah," and Miss Rose Beatty will sing. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock Mrs. C. .LI. Bacon, of Indianapolis, will read a paper, and Mrs. Eva Beck, of Franklin, will sing a solo. There will be short talks by Mrs. W. T. Brown, conference president; Miss Swartz, city deaconess, and Mrs. A. V. P. Adams, Shelby ville. In the evening at 8 o'clock there will be an entertainment by the students of Indianapolis High School, consisting of songs, declamations and orations. Friday a business meeting will be held and an election of officers will follow at the Home Missionary cottage. The following guests were registered at the hotel: V. B. Spencer, Mr. and Mr. W. H.

Tells Bethany Campers of the Work at Portland, Ore, Bethany Park showed more life yesterday than on any previous day of the season. The attendance was officially stated to be the biggest yet.

The society was founded by Mrs. C. N. IVarree. of Irvington, and the fact that she will deliver an address at the Jubilee convention, to be held at Cincinnati in October, was a topic of much interest yesterday. Tho report of the young people's department of the organization was made by its superintendent. Miss Kate E. Whistler, of Evansville. The report showed that there were 1S5 young people's societies in the State, which number includes the Junior Christian Endeavor, intermediates and mission bands. The number of conversions was 224.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN HERE

DEMOCRATIC CHIEFTAIN HOLDS A RECEPTION AT THE GRAND. Quiet Talk with the Leaders aa to the Revolt Acalnst Sliver by .Moras and Others. After i wait of several hours the Democratic letders were rewarded last evening by the arrival of William Jennings Bryan, who came from St. Louis over the Big Four, reaching this city at 6:10 o'clock. Parks M. Martin, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, had received word that Mr. Bryan would arrive at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and he gathered the clans to greet him. Quite a crowd assembled at the Union Station, but when the train pulled in Mr. Bryan was not on It. The faithful returned to the Grand Hotel, and several telegrams were sent to St. Louis inquiring on what train Mr. Bryan had left. Several false alarms were received, and the faithful sallied forth from the hotel to meet all the afternoon trains. Tbe ranks of the reception party had thinned considerably when Mr. Bryan finally did arrive, but it happened that a crowd of molders, going home from the convention that was held here, were at the station, and they had enthusiasm and to spare with which to give the free silver leader a welcome. Mr. Bryan and party went to the Grand Hotel. During the supper hour the lobby filled with politicians anxious to be "in on it." There was a wide diversity of opinion as to Mr. Bryan's presence in the city. It was whispered about by some that there was to be a momentous conference. The free silver leaders, it was said, had become so alarmed by the great number of brethren who were joining the followers of the new evangelist, S. E. Morss, editor of the Sentinel, that they called Mr. Bryan here to throw in his influence to help put down the revolt. It was a time for the bated breath and set white lips of the melodrama if the expressions of some of the politicians in the lobby were to be believed. Others poohpoohed this idea. Mr. Bryan had merely stopped over here, they said, on his way to Greenfield, where a mass meeting would be held on the morrow. When Mr. Martin was asked if there would be a conference he replied that there would not. BRYAN HOLDS A RECEPTION. When Mr. Bryan finished his dinner he was conducted to the rooms on the second floor, in which commercial travelers are wont to spread out their samples. The crowd in the lobby was directed to gather In these rooms, which it hastily did. Lines were formed and passed before Mr. Bryan, shaking his hand. John W. Kern stood at his side and presented the more prominent of the party leaders. He "joshed" everybody. Mr. Bryan had a smile and a few words of greeting for all. Young men who had aspirations, -but had not the honor of Mr. Kern's acquaintance, had to shake Mr.' Bryan's hand without the formality of a presentation. It was noticeable that as they approached the great leader their faces took on a strained expression, as if it were all they could do to brace themselves for tho event at hand. When the ordeal was passed and the warm pressure of Mr. Bryan's hand was still felt they hastened to join their comrades and exchange opinions. Whatever had been their views as to free silver belore, these young men were now radically in favor of the free-silver policy. They eald so. It would have taken supreme courage to say a word against the 16-to-l policy! while Mr. Bryan was present, but there was some whispering in the corners. The free-silver leaders were banking much orr the Greenfield meeting to-uay, it was said. It was announced that Mr. Bryan had declined to make a speech, because he desired to save his strength for the three addresses he Is 'to make to-day. He willpoint out to the people that the money question is still the most important Issue before the American people even more important than "expansion" and he will urge on the party leaders that it is fatal to the party prospects tc go back on the Chicaga platform at thi3 time. 1 is known that elaborate preparations have been made for the Greenfield "festival." Excursions will be run from many towns and at the fair grounds, where the meetings will be held; a speaking stand had b,een erected to accommodate five hundred people. "I have information." said Charles S. Hernly, chairman of the Republican state central committee, yesterday, "that Mr. Bryan is to be paid $500 for his threa speeches to-morrow at Greenfield." After the reception last night a dozen of the party leaders met Mr. Bryan behind closed doors and prospects and plans were talked over. The situation in Indiana was explained. All the "whys" and "wherefores"' of Mr. Morss's backsliding were set out before Mr. Bryan. He, in turn, told the news of the situation as he had gathered it in tho States through which he had been speaking. It was denied that it was a "realconference," but, nevertheless, "outsiders" were barred. These "outsiders" were prone to "raise a roar" because they were excluded. They claimed they had noticed an inclination to keep them out of the reception committee. On the other hand it was said there was no organized reception committee and that anyone was welcome to be a member of It who desired. Still, the less important lights of the party were dissatisfied, not liking the exclusiveness that seemed to them to be undemocratic and altogether "uppish." This feeling caused a dispute at the Union Station. SANG FOR BEVERIDGE. The Charleston Officers Incorporated III m In a- "Wans Song, The officers of the United States navy do not forget airs of comic operas of civilization, no matter where they may be serving. After Senator Beveridge left the gunboat Princeton and had started on the remainder of his tour through the southern islands of the Philippines on tho cruiser Charleston he was surprlse'd cne evening by the officers of the cruiser gathering and singing him a song set to the air of the elephant song from "Wang." The words were as follows: Oh, a capital ship for an ocean trip The Charleston you will find We've searched far and wide and we never have spied Another one Just this kind. And we take this time to a southern clime, A guest both good and great; He has come to see what the trouble can be And affairs to investigate. ChorusBut the senator will find out. He'll see what the row's about. And when he gets back He'll set 'em on a track That'll nut all the trouble to rout. It'll make all Americans shout Not a doubt, not a doubt And when he gets there he will make them all stare And they'll hail him the land throughout. Now, a little while ago there was trouble, as you know. Between Spain and your Uncle Sam. And when they got through old Spain was black and blue. Her pride was but a sham. Then the Filipino came and tried a little game Rather clever, bi t not very nice. He wanted to be free, but was ready to agree If we came down with the price. Now in the States, as the press relates, There are many good people think: "The Philippines hold; they will bring us in gold. From this duty we must not shrink." But many others say: "It surely wouldn't pay; We don"t want land out there." And they loudly groan: "We have troubles of our own." It's a trouble, I do declare. Incorporated. The American Malt Cream Company, of Mlshawaka, was yesterday Incorporated, with a capital etock of $10,000. The company will manufacture health foods and products cf milk. The directors are M. V. Belger, J. A. Boper, N. Rhelllnger, C. A. Loring, Dr. J. B. Borcugh, Clem Studebaker and J. M- Studebaker. The Elwood Electric Light.

Further Arrests to Be Made for Using Formaldehyde. City Sanitarian Clark has analyzed several samples of milk this week and Eays the Board of Health is getting another batch, of warrants ready to serve on milk dealers who have been using formaldehyde as a preservative. Some arrests will be made this week. A day or -two ago the Board of Health served notice on a woman a restaurant keeper who had been selling "skimmed" milk for the pure article, that she must not repeat the offense. She was badly frightened and said she did not know she was violating the law. She sold a bottle of mlik without telling the purchaser that it had been "skimmed." Had she given the purchaser notice of what kind of milk he was buying there would have been no violation. A charge of using a milk preservative against W. F. Kerr, proprietor of a creamery at 1431 North Capitol avenue, was dismissed in Police Court yesterday, it being said that Kerr is dangerously ill. C iL WALLINGF0RD SCORED. Judge Cox Sentences Him to Workhonse for ISO Days. In Police Court yesterday C. A. Walllngford, an architect, charged with assault and battery, was fined $100 and sentenced to the workhouse for 180 days. The charge against Walllngford was made by Mrs. Ida M. Starry, of 20 West Michigan street, on complaint of her ten-year-old daughter. The architect was arrested about two weeks ago. He denied the story related by the child to her mother. In passing on the case yesterday Judge Cox sternly lectured Walllngford, who, he said, was a man of reputed decency pnd had much to lose in a trial of this kind. The mother of the little Starry girl, with several women who were in court with her, shook hands with Judge Cox at the conclusion of the trial, and some of them cried. Walllngford's attorneys appealed the case to the Criminal Court, and he was released by furnishing a bond of 1500. CENTRAL-AVENUE BRIDGE. The County Commissioners to Open Bids Next Monday.
