INDIANAPOLIS, IND

Mr. II. L. Dort, an expert civil engineer, who has examined the oil fields of the United States and Russia for the Standard Oil Company, having spent a year making- scientific examinations of the Bakersfield oil field, says : "Knowing the Oil fields of the world through careful study, ar.d particularly those of the United States from experience as well, and having been identified with the marvelous development of the Kern River, California, oil fields during the past year (which period has seen nine-tenths of its development), I can conscientiously say that it has been absolutely demonstrated to every capable and experienced oil man who has investigated the subject that the proved oil belt of this Kern field comprises a formation of such peculiar and hitherto unknown character that every well drilled within its boundaries is absolutely sure of striking pay oil, there being no cases where a failure has occurred. "Can any one reasonably doubt the future of California oil under these circumstances, when it is remembered that Kern river oil costs ony 4c per barrel to produce?" This Company offers to subscribers of stock what no other oil company has ever offered, yiz.: The purchaser of every share of stock sold will receive back in cash the full amount paid for the same before any dividends are paid. About oneeighth of the stock was sold during the first three days. Purchase your stock now, as it will advance in price in a short time.

Other Feature of the ProKramme rtethimy's Future The Dar at Acton Tark.

Temperance day was observed at Bethany Park yesterday, and there was a good attendance at the lecture of Mrs. Frances Feauchamp. of Lexington, Ky., who spoke at lrt:45 on "The Defeat at Al." The speaker began by saying that God dealt with the people now just a? He did when the IJible was written. "National sin today must bring national calamity, and statistics prove that drink is the national calamity to-day," said the speaker. In the course of her remarks Mrs. lleauchamp said that three-fourths of the territory of Kentucky was under local prohibition, and that 5even-eighths of the sovereign voters of the State declared at the polling places that liquor was a curse, yet not a man in th State Legislature represented that seven-eighths. She also showed that fivesevenths of the young unmarried men cf the United States did not attend church and that ninety-sven out of every one hundred did nothing toward spreading the gospel. The speaker also declared that sixtyseven out of every one hundred criminals c.inn to their downfall from drink. At the juvenile reformatory per cnt. of the inmates owe their present condition to lirjuor. "Thus we see." s.iid the lecturer, "that the urmk habit has a terrible hold on the ycurg mm of our land, and these facts prove that the national sin is the IIquoi tr.itüe." Mrs. IVauchamp. who is president of the Ke:.tucky W. C. T. U. and has lectured all

Aemli!- Note. Th Coy' UrUad-, which has been in camp for two uaeks will soon forsake the trial of camp Ufo tor life In the city, and return home. There was some objection to

the sham battle that was to have been given Thursdav, and hence there was "nothing doing." A week from to-day the park will be honored by the presence of a family of Ave generations. The oldest member of the family is Mrs. William Kimner, who resides in this city, and has lived to be eighty years old. Her daughter, Mrs. Angel Cole, Is the mother of Mrs. C. V. Grueile. of Brooklyn. I'arnest Gruelle has a child named Gladys, thus making it possible for little Gladys to be rocked to sleep by her great-great-grandmother. Many persona were talking of the incident and everyone promised the family a warm reception upon its arrival. A boat race was a feature of the day yesterday and about six young men lined up for l hundred-yard race. The boats were a trifle large for racing, and one of the contestants insisted on using a canoe. It was at last decided that if he would give a slight handicap he might use the canoe. The racer finally agreed and the young athletes prepared for the signal. On the bank stood a few spectators waving Christian Endeavor flags and cheering on their favortes. Above the singing in the tabernacle and the cheering of the crowd the signal was heard and the race began. The goal was at last reached, but no time was given as the timer had forgotten to look In the excitement. Upon investigation it was learned that Chauncey Dowden got first and Harry Cole second. A package of tobacco was the prize and the two winners were soon receiving congratulations. So successful was the race that a second will, no doubt, be run. . .. Tili: FlTlHi: OF II KT IIA XV.

A Report that Inftneiitinl Member Will Advance Money. Many persons at Bethany Park when they read the article printed In the Journal concerning the bad financial condition of the park thought it would not be long until the creditors would take Bethany and the Christian camp meeting ground would be a thing of the past. For manyyears there has been talk of selling the park and trying to even the books, as a debt of no small amount has been against the assembly for some time. Owing to the extremely hot weather the attendance this year has not been large, and it was but a few days ago that a prominent member of the association remarked that things could not long continue the wav they are now going. However, a pleasant surprise awaits those interested in the welfare of the Bethany Assemblv. which will be sprung in a few days. It was learned yesterday from a source that is in every way reliable that several persons whose names are not yet to be made known are going to advance a thousand dollars each and put the Bethany Assemblv on a sound footing. The debt wid tirst be paid off. and as one person expressed it. "the assembly will

The improvements will begin Immediately aftr the closing of the assembly, and when the park is visited next year an entirely new scene will meet the gaze of visitors. , , . , , A meeting of the stockholders of the Bethany Assembly will be held next Wednesday, when action probably will be taken in "the matter, and ofllcers and a new board will be elected.

Firt Anpenrnr.ee of Mr. Amanda Smith Preparation for To-Hay. Camp Acton yesterday took on some of lta old-time signs of activity. Throughout the day the crowd on the grounds was Urge. In the afternoon Mrs. Amanda Smith, a colored evangelist of some note, made an address. Mrs. Smith took for her subject "Faith. Hop and Charity." The large pavilion was entirely filled with attentive women and men who had heard of Mrs. Smith's fame as a lecturer. Her addrees in some rerpeets was disappointing, as she hardly had th- command of her forceful voice that has characterized her on former occasions. She seemed greatly distressed throughout the afternoon. This was accounted for by the fact that she TiCentlv met with an accident in Chicago.

Now it announces a preparatory school for boys, to be operated in the winter months in the buildings used during the summer for the Bible conferences. Other Winona features, including Hillside Instead of a Hound Top. and young people conferences conducted by John Willis Baer, of the Christian Endeavor, complete the likeness to Northfield.

Northfield, barring the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan. Correlative with the Bible conference will be the pastors' conference, which will be held at stated times under the direction of the. Rev. E. F.

Hundreds Issued from the Oflice of the Adjutant General. "This rush of homeseekers to Oklahoma Territory has been hard on the adjutant general's department," said Major John E. Miller, chief deputy to Adjutant General Ward, yesterday. "You see, one of our principal duties is to furnish veterans of the various wars with certificates of their service when they apply to us with a statement that they have lost their official discharges. That does not explain how It comes that wc have been affected by the Oklahoma land lush, though, does It? Well, it is this way. A man who has served his country in wartime is, by a law of Congress, exempted from occupying his land-grant for as long a period as he performed such military service. "For instance, suppose a man served in the civil war four years and has acquired one of theso homesteads. Well, the lawsays that settlers must occupy their land five years before they can prove up their claims. A soldier, however, who had served four years In a war, would only be required to remain on his land one year. For that reason, the soldiers that acquired land grants at El Reno found it necessary ti have their discharge from military service. If this had been lost, they wrote to the adjutant general of the State from which they enlisted in the war and asked him to send them certificates showing that they had enlisted and how long they remained in the service." To show you how far apart some of our soldiers have drifted." continued Major Miller. "I might say that Friday we sent a certificate of service to a man in South Africa, another to a man at Arayat in the Philippine island., another to a resident of Bath, Me,, and still another to a man in Portland, Ore. Several days ago we issued a certificate to a man in Zurich, Switzerland, and one to a man in Skagway, Alaska." Major Miller said that the adjutant general's office sends out on an average 2,50 certificates of service each year. This shows that a large number of discharges are lost. SCULPTOR BARNARD HERE.

HOSTELRY FOR IMM.WS.

Only Hotel In the Country Patronised Eielunlt ely l HrULin. Washington Post. One of the most unusual hotels to he found anywhere In Ans-rir.i is on Third street Northwest, a short distance fiom Pennsylvania avenue. The BelvLVrc IIo: , as th- hostelry is known. Is probably th only hotel in the world ptreuized e'xtP.ifively by Indians. For nearly tony ytars It ha been the stopping place for" practically All Indians coming to Washington. In every tepee and Indian cabin throughout the West stories of its luxuries luve been told, and every InJi.m hope some day to be a guest within its doors. Landlord Benjamin F. Revcldse has made a profound study of the uppetlits of Indians, and he not only knows in a g neral way what the red man likes to eat. but he knows the peculiar tastes of a h tribe, the things they like be-t and the manner in which the cooking should te done. An Indian. Mr. Peveridge declare, will eat as much ns two ordinary white men. He wants meat principally. ni plenty of It. As a general thing, the Indian doesn't care for delicacies, but ice cream i a strong favorite with him, and it

doesn t matter whether the frozen pwret ii served with brakfast or with dinner. Many of them ate it for the nrst time at the Belvldere, and those who have already been Initiated into its mystifies consider it great sport to watch the uninitiated attempt to swallow his first spoonful. When the dessert is served all eye are fixed on th Indian who Is away from horn frr th first time, if ho betray? the least surprise whn he discovers how cold is th harming looking white dih, the others gUy" him unmercifully. The dining-room at the Belvldere Is In the basement. There is one long table, covered with a red cloth. There is not much of silver or rare china or cut glass upon it. but plates and cups and saucers and knives and forks are used, all of the suhstar,-'ial kind found in railroad eating-houses. The Indian travr'lr.g for the tirst time Is frequently at a loss to know the purpose f them all, but he watches his fellows closely j.nd is good at imitating. The Indian doesn't talk muh at mal times, though sometimes n subject of conversation is started that starts them all a-going, and no banquet then could ho merrbr. The Indian, traditionally, is a i-olitary Individual, who prefers his own company to that of other tnortjis, but the experience of Landlord Beveridge prove thi a fallacy. The redskin loes company, and if ten or a dozen of them from the same trlb- are at the hotel in a party thy rrfu-o absolutt-lv to occupy separate r.orn. bi;t demand that they be allowed to sbep togethrr. For this reason, instead of the ordinary mll hotel bedroom, with its single b-d. th Bewridge has large rooms, in earh of whieh half a doz n or more bed are placed. At night the rooms are the. scenes of powwows that frequently last until well toward morning. Th-re rmetime net representatives of tribes which for generation base v.arred up. m each other.
