CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 11 James Zimmerman, president of the sophomore class of Wabash College, is still missing, having been abducted by the freshmen last Sunday, and his whereabouts is as much of a mystery as ever. To-morrow morning the sophomores will meet to consider a proposition from the victorious freshmen. The latter class, at a meeting this morning, was addressed by Prof. J. A. Cragwell, the class officer, who advised the surrender of Zimmerman as a concession to the faculty and to avoid unfavorable criticism of the college, not as a concession to the sophomore class. The freshmen then passed a resolution which the facuUy has been ask"! to submit to the sophomores, and the latter will meet to-morrow morning to consider it. It provides that Zimmerman will be given up by his captors if the sophomore class "will surrender unconditionally" and withdraw from the Washington birthday rivalry, a condition to which they are very unlikely to accede. In case the sophomores refuse to come to these terms the statement of President W. P.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11. -In the face of the general depression in financial circles and the shrinkage in industrial and other securities no better evidence of the general prosperity of the country and the thrift of the people could be given than is contained in the recently published statement of the MetropolRan Life Insurance Company. This company shows a great gain in assets and, notwithstanding market depression, a handsome gain in surplus It issued in 1903 $398,8S9,074 of new Insurances a larger amount than that issued by any company in the world. It has done this for the last ten years. It has 7.523,915 policies in force, which is a larger number than is held by all the other regular life insurance companies in America put together, less one; equivalent to policies on one-tenth of the total population of the Inited States, greater than the combined population of twenty-nine States and Territories, or, as the report puts It, greater than the combined population of greater New York.

The growth of this company from f63.000.000 in 1883 to f 1,342.3m. 457 of insurance in force in 1903 is one of the wonders of the insurance world. Mrs. Austin's Pancake Flour is best of all.

Finney, representing the minority stockholders, against W. E. Havens. A. F. Riggs. R. A. Innls, T. M. Green and Dr. F. G. Hackleman The complaint says the defendants, holders of a majority of the stock, are conspiring to defraud the minority holders of their interests; that they have drawn money from the treasury from time to time, not on vote of the directors, as required by the by-laws; that they have raised the directors' salaries from f75 to $2"0 per annum in defiance of the by-laws and against the protest of plaintiffs, and paid the salaries of the directors for 1903. as illegally advanced, before they were earned and due; that after collecting two years' advanced salaries in one year they raised the directors' salaries on Oct. 25 last to f400 per annum ami voted themselves free gas. to the detriment of the other stockholders and thn

consuming public; and that on Dec. 21 last they further paid themselves half-yearly salaries In advance at the rate of fWu per annum. It is alleged that the sinking of new wells is necessary to keep up the supply of ga3 and to maintain the company on a paying basis, and that the directors and defendants refuse to sink the needed wells; and that by reason of these various acts and omissions the company, though earning more than enough to pay expenses, has not been maintained in good repair and will soon become worthless; wherefore the appointment of a receiver is asked, and that he, when appointed, be ordered to drill necessary wells and otherwise increase the effective capacity of the plant and to recover from defendants the various sums illegally converted to their own use.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Feb. 11. The situation at the local water works was much improved to-day. The West End pumping station was put In commission this morning, and the three millions of gallons of water per diem that it can add to the same amount now being furnished by the old water works and the new plant greatly relieves the situation. Pressure was better to-day than it has been for a week. With pumn No. 1 "cut In" to intake pipe No. 2 by Sunday, the regular supply of water can then be furnished. Until the end of the week the city is in danger of a short water supply, especially If an accident occurs to either of the three stations now furnishing water to the city mains. Unless the mound on which the water works plant stands is undermined more than is expected, the engineers believe there will be no further damage to the building. The cracks are now extending around, the wall on the east side, and Captain Hollerbach, who is in charge of the excavations over the broken intake pipes, thinks a portion of the wall may have to be removed. There will be no way to stop the caving until the intake pipes are bulkheaded. and this cannot be done until temporary repairs are made, as the combined capacity of all three stations is barely enough for domestic use.

Don't Send a Penny. Don't send a p?nn. Juft wait till you see what I can do. Iet me take the risk. Let me prove up flrt what Dr. Shoop's Restorative can do. The Restorative will Rain your friendship, your indorsement. If you test it. For a whole month you can use It without the slightest risk. I will tell you of a druggist near you who will furnish six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Restorative a month on trial. I will absolutely stand all the cost if It fails. If you say. "It did not help me." that ends it as far as cost to. you is concerned. Do you understand me? I am telling it as plainly, as clearly as I can. I want you to know absolutely and without doubt that this offer is made on honor. I have the prescription lhat cures. My only problem is to convince you that Dr. Shoop's Restorative will cure is ar uncommon remedy. A common remedy could not stand a test like this. It would bankrupt the physician making the offer. And I am succeeding everywhere and here is the secret of my success. I found invariably that where there was a weakness, the Inside n rves were weak. Where there was a lack of vitality, the vital nerves lacked power. Where weak organs were found. I always found weak nerves. Not the nerves commonly thought of but the vital organs' nerves. The Inside the invisible nerveo. This was a revelation. Then my real success began. Then I combined ingredients that would strengthen, that would vitalize these nerves. That prescription I called a restorative. R is known the world over now a Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Thousands are accepting my offer and only one in each forty writes me that my remedy failed. Just think of It. Thirty-nine out of forty get well and these are difficult cases, too. And the fortieth has nothing to pay. That is a record I am proud of. it is wrong to stay sick when a chance like this is open. If well, you should tell others who are sick, of my offer. Don't let a sick friend stay sick because he knows not of my offer. Tell him. Get my book for him. Do your duty. You may be sick yourself some time. Sick ieop!e need help. They appreciate sympathy and aid. Tell me of some sick frln1. It m cure him. Then he will show his gratitude to both of us. Your reward will be his gratitude. Send for the book now. Do not delay.
