He was well posted on oil matters concerning its operation and bore the title, given by associates, of "the Madison road encyclopedia." IÜ3 Interest In the road is indicated by the room In his stable which he arranged expressly for the collection of relics of his service, which were large in number. He had among the relics the first Hike driven in the construction of the road. Many of the relics were contributed to the world's fair exhibit of the Pennsylvania, which exhibit is now a part of the Field Museum at Chicago.

The second annual rummage sole for the benefit of the Boys Club will be opened "Wednesday in the old Badger building, 127 East Washington street. For several days past a committee of women have been at the storeroom receiving goods, and it is expected that on Wednesday when the tale opens there will be a large stock of goods for sale In every department. The managers of the sale this year are Mrs. K. J. Foster, Mrs. A. J. Sutcliffe and Mr. Edgar Evans. The treasurer is Miss Annie Fräser, and each department will be furnished with a casaier. The sale will be conducted with system and a corps of workers will be In each department. The rummage sale was started in this city last year by the directors of the Boys' Club, and proved such a success that a like sale has been conducted by almost every other charitable and church society in the city, therefore it is not expected that the Boys' Club sale will be as successful as it was last year. However, the ladies in charge are desirous of having people in the city collect all articles they don't wish to keep and telephone the rummr.ge sale store, old 'phone :44 and new 'phone L'3". and members of the Boys' Club will call for them.

Patrons of the Manufacturers' Natura1.Kas Company are receiving circulars notifying them that new contracts must bo entered into If they expect to continue taking gas from the company. The circular sets out a new schedule of meter rates, to take effect May 1. The new prices are on a shall se.ile running frcm 13 cents per thousand curie feet for quantities less than r cubic feet down to 7 cents per thoif.md cub!? fect in riuantities exceeding l'-i.io cubic feet. Each new contract mut pnnrantee a minimum annual reven!". of to th" company. A local municipal c.'Iker suggests thnt these contracts v !ll run counter to the n.itural-gas ordinance of Indianapolis which provides that the cost of gas furnished by meter shall iiOt exceed 10 cents a, thousand cubic feet to private consumers and 7 cents to factories. From the statements of fire Insurance companies published by the Spectator Comptny. of New York, it appears that many of th leading companies of America n.:u!e little, if any, pro !U for the past two yt trs. During the fame time the Indian apo'lr Fir Insurance Company has established itself on a solid foundation and 1 acknowledged as a prosperous home InHitutlon. uhlch is meeting with well-de-ye.-ved success.

TIIC KANSAS CIttSAIlEIt IX TIIC HANDS OF IIElt 31 ANAfJEK. She (lorn to the Dcnhon I'pon Her Arriiul and Ilefne to Make u Public Appearance. WOULD HURT SALE OF SEATS THE SALOON" SMASHEIt HAS A DUE HEGAU I) Füll FINANCES. After Her Lecture To-N'lsjht She May Go a-S In in niiiig An Effort to Extort 3Iuney. "Now, boys, I am goin to tell you a secret," said Mrs. Carrie Nation, the femlnino cyclone, as she sat in Room 1CI of the Denison Hotel yesterday afternoon, surveying with hungry eyes an appetizing luncheon just brought to the room by a colored servant, whose eyes protruded like billiard balls as he gazed upon the "Kansas Terror." The "boys" thus addressed by the joint-smasher were a group oZ local newspaper men, who were seated about Mrs. Nation, note book in hand, eagerly jotting down the woman's every utterance. "And I don't want any of you to print it," continued the "Crusader," "for if you dc it might hurt the attendance at my my lecture to-morrow night, and I want them to make a nice sum out of that. Tho secret Is this, I am going to go slumming right after the lecture. I wanted to go to-night, but my managers would not let me. They paid if the people got to look at me on the streets for nothing they would not pay to see me and hear me talk to-morrow night. I am going to visit a resort hero kept by a man .named Stout Wes Stout, 1 believe and several others. 1 want to talk to that class of people and do them all the good I can." "Your secret has been published in all of the Indianapolis papers for several days past, Mrs. Nation," mildly suggested one ot tho reporters, whose eye-glasses gave him the look of a Y. M. C. A. young man, which greatly endeared him to the old woman's heart. "Dear me, 13 that possible," ejaculated Mrs. Nation. "I don't see how they could have known it, for I haven't told anybody yet." HER PERSONAL. APPEARANCE. In personal appearance Mrs. Nation Is far from striking, bearing a strong resemblance to a familiar typo of short, pudgy old women that are teen at old settlers' meetings making preparation for an old-fashioned "dinner on the grasä." She is short,- very stout, has a nallow complexion, beady eyes that set slantwise much after the fashion of the "excellent likenesses" of Aguinaldo printed in the illustrated papers, has iron gray hair done up in a funny little knot on top of her head, and dresses with severe plainness. When she received the newspaper men yesterday afternoon she wore the dress in which she had traveled, of some cheap black material, made without any rutlies or trimmings of any sort. At her neck she wore a width of plain white cloth, the ends tied in a bow knot. Mrs. Nation is evidently a great reader of the Bible, as quotations from that book, made with more or less accuracy, fall from her as readily as do her peculiar sayings. "What do you think of the attitude the local temperance people have adopted towards your visit?" the crusader was aked. "Why, it. reminds me of the time when Jesus healed the withered hand on Sunday," she replied, "and I think that any man that has a withered hand and there ought to be a good many it ought not to be any more harm than to take a collection on Sunday. Jesus said, 'Bay by in store that there be no gathering when I come,' and I think if you lay by in store through my lecture it is only fulfilling the Bible. My mission is a good one, and they are certainly assisting me in a good mission when they pay to hear my lecture." "Tell the reporters what you are going to do with the money you get from your lectures," suggested Miss M. C. Morse, who is Mrs. Nation's manager. USE FOR THE MONEY. "Well, I came out on this Utile expedition," said Mrs. Nation, "because we are going to I want to pay the way of these women smashers, these bold women that are willing to smash, for they have their own hatchets, but have no money to pay their way from one town to another. I want to gc to Leavenworth and pay these women's way on the cars and their hotel fares and help to clean up that town, where there is so much anarchy. The money is to be used in a good cause." Mrs. Nation was careful to emphasize the fact that she lias a manager, and the manager was equally as careful to keep herself in the background. When asked her full name and her occupation the manager replied: "I am Miss M. C. Morse and I am one of the managers of the Popular Lecture Bureau, of Cincinnati, but please don't say anything about me in your paper. I don't want to be mentioned in this connection at all. I am trying to keep in the background." . There is a certain childish simplicity about Mrs. Nation's manner that possesses its charm. She seems as delighted with her new work and the notoriety it has brought her as a child with a new toy. "Miss Morse, I wish you would bring up my valises." she prattled, "for I want to snow the boys one of my papers, 'The Smasher's Mall.' " When the valises were brought the joint smasher rushed to them, opened the one containing the papers, and, extracting about a dozen copies of the paper, proceeded to distribute them among the reporters. The paper is a curious sort of publication, being made up principally of letters written and received by Mrs. Nation. The letters she gets from people who sympathize with her work are printed under the headline, "Letters from Honest People," and those from nonsympathizers come under the head of "Letters from Hell." Mrs. Nation began reading out of her paper, in which she takes groat pride, and rattled away until checked by a question from one of the reporters. Later she resumed the occupation that seemed to give her so much genuine comfort. One of the "Letters from Hell" was signed "J. L. Ward, 321 Illinois street, Indianapolis," and contained the following choice gem: "I would like to be David Nation (Mrs. Nation's present husband) for about four years. IM land you in the lunatic asylum or chase you home to attend to your own business." These delicate observations do not seem to dampen the ardor of the crusader in the least, but rather arouse her to greater effort. CERTAIN KIND OF ELOQUENCE. Candor compels the admission that Mrs. Nation is not a woman of attractive personality when her features are in repose, but when the "spirit is on" her eyes light up with religious fervor, her face flushes and words come tumbling from her lips with a certain sort of eloquence, so that the whole effect is scarcely disagreeable. In common with people of her class, Mrs. Nation is full of egotism and very fond of the personal pronoun. When she told of having spent Friday night with "Mother" Stewart, of Springtleld. 0-. her manager. Miss Morse, said: "Did Mother Stewart ever do what you have been doing?" "O no; not like I." ejaculated Mrs. Nation, with an air of surprise at the strange inquiry. "Were there any gatherings at the stations as you came to Indianapolis?" asked a reporter. "Ovations, you mean. I suppose," said Mrs. Nation. "No, there were no ovations, except at two stations near Indianapolis. You see. my managers asked me to keep away from the people, for they want a good crowd at the lecture to-morrow night. And 1 want them to do well, too, for it has been a great expense to them." Mrs. Nation said she had been In some of the worst dives in Chicago, but that she saw nude pictures in Springfield. O., that far surpassed in vileness anything she had previously come across. "If 1 had had a hatchet. I would have smashed those pictures. They were horrible, horrible!" When asked how she happened to enter upon htr peculiar style of saloon-destruc

tion. Mrs. Nation said: "Well, I had been thinking of tome kind of a method for years 1 am not one of the original crusaders, you know I have spent my time in praying and talking and moral suasion, but the liquor trailic grew and grew all the time. Words were just like the wind blowing against the rock didn't move the rock. You know God says. 'My word is a hammer that breaketh the rock.' The secret of my work is faith in God; it is because I am a New Testament reader. 1 always carry my Bible with me, you see." With this, she flourished a copy of the Bible in the direction of the newspaper men. FILLS HER WITH JOY. Another thing which has given great joy to the soul of Mrs. Nation Is a song, "Carrie Nation and Her Hatchet," composed by Edward C. Avis, of Chicago, and retailed at the modest sum of 40 cents per copy. "The words of that song read like they are Inspired," said Mrs. Nation, as she extended a copy of the music to a reporter, carefully retaining her grasp on the other end, "and Mr. Avis composed it right on the spot." "Have you got your hatchet with you, and are you going to do any smashing here?" Mrs. Nation was asked. "No, 1 haven't any hatchet with me, except the little one I wear as a badge on my dress front," she replied, "but I could get one mighty quick if I wanted it. I shall not do any smashing here. You know, I am out on J2,0X bond, and have to appear in five trials. If I were to smash here they would put me in jail right away. I would not object particularly to being in jail in Indianapolis, but it would cause the good people of Kansas who went on my bond to loi.-e their money and I don't want to do that." Mrs. Nation is said to take especial pride in the fact, as she conceives it to be, that she is mentioned in the Old Testament. The verses believed by herself and her followers to refer to her are very interesting and read as follows: "Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off frcm your mouth. For a Nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion." The quotation is from Joel 1, 5 and 6. SALOON' MEN VISITED.

Allegred .Maunders of 3Ir. Nation Tried to Secure Money from Them. Several men representing themselves to be managers of Mrs. Carrie Nation, the saloon smasher from Kansas, visited a number of the prominent downtown saloons last night and endeavored to secure money from tho proprietors or bartenders by holding out the inducement that they would bring Mrs. Nation and have her deliver one of her characteristic harangues in the Faloons. At several of the places these men secured written promises to pay stipulated sums for the appearance of Mrs. Nation. When it became apparent that a petty game was being worked complaints from the victims were heard on all sides. The alleged managers secured $3 at the Bismarck saloon. They also visited the Circle Park, Harry Walker's, and a number of other saloons. When they appeared at tho Tuxedo saloon and made their proposition to the man behind tho bar he offered them $50 if they would bring Mrs. Nation to tha place and have her smash the mirrors. The alleged managers displayed in this saloon two contracts which they had secured from proprietors of other saloons whose names wera carefully concealed. Thomas J. Myers, local manager of the Grand Opera House, who with Shafer Zeigler, auditor of the Grand, is bringing Mrs. Nation to this city, was seen in his room at tho Denison Hotel last night and asked if he knew anything of the movements of the men in question. "Your information is the first 1 have received that anything of this kind was going on," ho said. "Mrs. Nation during her stay in this city, at least until she finishes her lecture in Tornlinson Hall to-morrow night, is under the direction of Mr. Zeigler and myself and we have an explicit understanding with her that sheds not to appear in public until she goes to the hall to deliver her lecture. "1 personally know that Mrs. Nation did not leave her room to-night and that at ID o'clock she directed her representative, Miss Morse, to give out the statement that she had retired for the night. If anvbody made, an offer to take Mrs. Nation to a saloon either to-night or at any time betöre her lecture he was promising something he could not fulfill." Mr. Zeigler could not be found last night. The incident created a great deal ot comment and the remark was freely made that it was a pitiablo piece of business to try to utilize an old woman's notoriety to secure a tew paltry dollars. The action of the men will bo thoroughly investigated. Three Joints Demolished. OTTUMWA, la., March CO. Eight prominent Centerville women, led by John Kinder, started a crusade to-day, which ended in the demolition of three joints. Attempts were made to smash two drug stores, but a large force of policemen stopped the crusaders. No arrests have been made, but an extra force of police is on duty. The crusaders were Mesdames Wininger, Adams, Stevenson, Charles Bryant, Elizabeth Charlton, John Dailey, McDanieis and blater. CLAYI00L HOTEL DIRECTORS. They Go Over the Pinns, Which Are Now Ready for Contractors. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Claypool Hotel Company last night the plans of the architect were taken up and considered in detail. Except in some minor points the plans have been approved, and are now ready to be submitted to contractors for their bids. The directors expressed the desire that all the work of erecting the building and finishing it should be done by Indianapolis contractors, If possible, and they desire to give the local bidders every opportunity to get the contracts. So that no contractor who wants to bid may be overlooked it is desired that all local, general and subcontractors who want to bid on tne work as a whole or on any part of it shall send their names to Henry W. Lawrence at the Bates House. Contractors should state whether they want to bid on tho whole of the work or a part only, and what part. Bidders will then be notified at what time they can have the plans and specifications. In this way the directors hope to give every contractor In the city who desires to bid an opportunity to do so.

ESTATE OF HARRISON

ri:nsoAL property appraised FOR UNION TRUST COMPANY. Volney T. 3tnlott nnd Thomas II. Spann Fix the Value of Stocks, llonds, Notes, Etc. TOTAL PLACED AT 176,625.62 S03IC HOLDINGS OF GEN. HARRISON PROVE TO BE VALUELESS. It Is Said the Valne of the Entire Enlate May Reach J?400,(KK Real Estate Appraisement. The Inventory and appraisement of the personal estate of General Harrison was completed yesterday afternoon by Volney T. Malott and Thomas II. Spann, who acted as appraisers for the Union Trust Company, executor of tho estate. The appraisement was made In the presence of representatives of the Union Trust Company. George A. Buskirk, manager of the probate department of the Union Trust Company, said last evening that the appraisers made a conservative estimate of the value of the personal property left by General Harrison and in some cases the value was placed a little lower than certain stocks could be sold for on the market. The appraisers reported tho total value of the personal property at H7G.C25.62, including all stocks, notes, insurance policies, etc., held by General Harrison at the time of his death. The aggregate value of the estate left by General Harrison, including real estate, will not fall short of $400,000, as the real estate will be appraised at about $200,000, it is said. SOME VALUELESS STOCK. In the inventory filed yesterday will be found several items that were appraised as valueless, among them being stock in the Helena (Montana) Mining Company, for which 600 shares cost General Harrison Jo.OOO and a few other worthless stocks. It is also noted that a few notes held by the deceased are appraised as valueless because the debts had been liquidated before his death. One of the assets is the royalty of a book published by Scribner and it is given as valueless, but it is believed that there will be a slight income from this source notwithstanding the book was published some time ago. Many of the securities held by General Harrison h$ve Increased In value since they were purchased by him and this fact added considerably to the personal property. The appraisement of real estate will be made this week. Berkely Lodge in the Adlrondacks, which was bequeathed to Mrs. Harrison will not have to be appraised. The home on North Delaware street will be appraised as will the other real estate, including the building at 20 North Ptnnsylvania street, occupied by William Schoppenhorst; property on South Pennsylvania street occupied by the Schräder wholesale grocery firm; twothirds Interest in the property occupied by Parrott & Taggart at Pennsylvania and Georgia streets; property on East Washington street, formerly occupied by the Vonnegut Hardware Company; property on the south side of East Washington street, occupied by Chambers, newsdealer; property in North Bend, O.; property in Tacoma, Wash., and property near Washington, D.

WILL MEET HERE APRIL 8.

Mine Worker' Execntlre Committee to Hare a Session. Notice has been given for a meeting of the executive board of tho United Mine Workers, in this city, April 8. The meeting Is called to ratify the action of President Mitchell in settling the threatened strike In the anthracite district. Concessions were made to the operators which, Secretary Wilson says, will no doubt be approved by the board. He regards the concessions as an Important factor in bringing the miners and operators together, as the operators have promised to recognize the union if, during the coming year, the union is able to control all local strikes. President Mitchell agreed to this and as the anthracite miners are now nearly all under the jurisdiction of the United Mine Workers, the officers entertain little doubt that a satisfactory discipline will be maintained. The executive board will also consider the strike situation in the bituminous fields of Arkansas, Kansas and Indian Territory, where men have been on strike for nearly two years, and a defense fund for Hopkinsville, Ky.
