PASTOR'S GREAT RECORD OF CHURCH DEDICATIONS L. L. Carpenter Sets Apart His 6o8th Christian Church in Fifty Years of Record. BIG DEBTS OBLITERATED Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., May 8. The Rev. L. I. Carpenter, of this city, to-day dedicated a new Christian church at Wnlnut Grove, 111., this beins the fiOSth church of that denomination which he has dedicated in his ministerial career of almost a half century. Working every Sunday, with an average of one church each Sunday, it would, if the dedications had been consecutive, have required within sixteen weeks of twelve years of continuous labor to perform the work. If the average debt raised at the dedication were $5.000. the total amount raised by Mr. Carpenter would be more than J3,C'ACjO, and the average Is not much. If any, below that sum. He claims to have officiated at more dedications than any other minister In the United States. Mr. Carpenter takes an interest in politics and wa chairman of the Wabash county delegation In the late Republican State convention. FRIENDS OF MISSING MAN FEAR FOUL PLAY Peru Machinist Leaves Home to Go Fishing and Mysteriously ' Disappears. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANS PORT, Ind., May 8. William Young, forty-five, a member of the local Machinists' Union, has been missing from his home in Peru since last Thursday. It Is thought that he has been drowned, as on Thursday he went to Cedar Island, near liere, fishing, and has not been. seen since. A searching party from Peru walked all the way here yesterday, searching for traces of him, but found nothing. The police and the secretary of the union were notified, and they have been searching today. Young's relatives think he may have met with foul play, as they say he is a good swimmer, and, moreover, he had considerable money with him when he left home and a fine gold watch. He came here some time ago from Chicago and later went to Peru. WIFE OF AN ACCUSED MURDERER IS BROKEN Mrs. A. J.

Baker, of Elwood, wife of the man who shot and killed Frederick Kiser at that place, has come. to Muncie to make her home with her mother, Mrs. Richmond. Mrs. Baker is almost broken down by the strain and refuses to talk concerning the incident, which resulted in her husband's act and hla arrest on the charge of murder. Baker is still in the Anderson Jail, while awaiting his second hearing, which will probably be in June at Noblesville. Baker formerly lived in Muncie; where he married Mrs. Baker. He was employed in a meat market here. Practically all the property in Elwood has been disposed of by Mrs. Baker to a relative of Baker. The cost of his trial has rendered Baker practically penniless. LABOR FAMINE IS THREATENED AT MUNCIE Opening of Mills and Work in Oil Fields Makes Scarcity of Workmen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind.. May S. The Indiana mill, the local plant of the Republic Iron and Steel Companr, will resum? operations Monday mcruiug. after bring closed for several months. The Hilll v.as shut down during: the cold weather on account of the scarcity of gas. Since the warm weather has made the fuel plentiful a number of Mundo industries are resuming in fu'l. wliit-ii has given employment to all who Uefire it. In mauy factories thrt is now a scarcity of ha uds. The hih waP'cs paid in the oil fields have taken all the farm hands, and farmers are already bti:g inconvenienced. A farmer stated to-day, that he did not see how Delaware county farmers would be able to harvest mere than a small portion of their crops. The Indiana mill opens up work for 70) skilled laborers. Iron Worker Disappointed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.,! May 8.-Members of the Structural Iron Workers Union have arrived in the city in the past few days, attracted by the building of the costly bridge over the Wabash, but they found that the Lafayette Engineering Company, which has the contract and which is part of the bridge trust, is not employing union labor. The matter is to be brought to the attention of Terre Haute trade unionists. An effort also will be made to have a conference with the company. The structural iron workers say the company is raying less than the union scale of wages. Stande Purk to Be Opened. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind., May 8. The West Side Park, owned by the Indiana Union Traction Company, in this city, and Riverside Park, at Eaton, owned by the Muncie, Hartford & Fort Wayne Traction Company, will both be opened for the season next Sunday, May 15. Vaudeville attractions will be offered at both continuously Curing: the summer. Dully Limited Service. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSrORT, Ind., May S.-Within a few days limited cars will be put on the Fort Wayne & Southwestern line and a through service instituted between here nd Fort Wayne.

Ind.. are out with an offer to cure the worst case of Stomach trouble or Constipation in existence, or money refunded, and to start you off they agree to buy the first bottle for you. from your druggist and present it to you free of charge. All you have to do is to write and ask them for an order on your druggist for a free bottle, giving your name, address and particulars of your case. This looks to us like a pretty good proposition. The fact that all druggists handling Milks Emulsion are requested to guarantee, every bottle they sell, is a sure indication of merit. Otherwise the Milks' Emulsion Company would soon go out of business, and we notice they have come to the front very fat since placing Milk' tmulUon on the market one year ago. iL S.j

STEAMSHIP SAILS AWAY FROM A STRIKE NEW YORK. May 8. The walking delegate of the Machnists' Union of Hoboken, Is just recovering from a surprise administered to him by the James Reilly Supply and Repair Company of Jersey City. In order to prevent the delegates from calling some of their employes out on strike, the firm sent away in the dark of the night the steamship Admiral Sampson, on which the endangered men were at work, to an unknown port. The steamship is the property of the United Fruit Company. The Reilly Company was under contract to have some repairs ou the vessel finished in a certain time, and the contract could be kept only by keeping men at work constantly. In the afternoon the officials of the repairing concern learned that the walking delegate would be around the next day. All of the mechanics were ordered not to leave the ship at night. Supplies were brought aboard. At midnight the vessel backed out of the repair docks, and soon she was steaming past the Battery bound for Long Island sound. The waiklng delegate came later When he was told what had happened, he raged much, saying he would make it hot for the employers, and for the men who had allowed themselves to be carried away.

Russian Officer and His Family, En Route

SOLDIERS SUFFER LITTLE HARDSHIP IN

LONG JOURNE Y FROM RUSSIA TOTHEFRON1 Railroad Works Perfectly, and the Principal Drawback Is the ScenerySoldiers Well Fed and JovialWork, Not War, the Principal Feature in Manchuria

LONDON, May 8. When conditions in tne far East, early In the present year, became such that careful observers felt assured that war between Russia and Japan was a matter of a few weeks at most, attention was centered immediately on Russia's facilities for transporting men and munitions of war to the Orient, and it was realized that the single-track Siberian Railroad constituted the weak line In the Russian war preparations. At that time the line was not laid around Lake Baikal, necessitating a debarkation and reembarkation of both troops and supplies, and entailing, in the eyes of those having only book or newspaper knowledge of the situation, a vast amount of hardship on those making the Transbalkal trip. In the earlier days of the war reports came back of breaks in the railroad at various points, and there were grewsome stories of troops perishing by hundreds in the "awful march across Lake Baikal." From the Ural frontier to Port Arthur and Vladivostok, in the eyes of these strategists, was nothing but a vast trail of hardships and misfortunes that must, of a certainty, make for successive disasters. But now letters are coming back, for publication in the London papers, from-correspondents who have made the trip with the Russian army, and It is seen that as a matter of fact the railroad has done its expected duty magnificently, that the hardships are almost nil. and that the trip across Baikal was little else than a pleasant winter excursion of a few hours, with every possible provision made for the comfort of those making it; in short, that if Russia has suffered disasters, they are blamable to. anything else rather than to the railroad. LITTLE SIGN OF WAR. One correspondent, reviewing his trip, comments first on the Interest in the war taken in St. Petersburg and Moscow, but notes the absence of any public evidence of warlike preparations. "Petersburg was keenly interested in the war," he writes, "just as every other European capital doubtless was, but as far as any visible signs of war went London or Paris or Dublin, where you can always see some fighting of nights, would have done Just as well, if not better. So I went to Moscow. "Moscow was also keenly interested, and It was full of the interest of old-time fighting. The battlemented wall around the inner city, the fortifications, the narrow streets, the stronghold of the Kremlin, with its spires and cupolas of a hundred shapes, some gold, some of the most glaring blue, its archways flanked by loopholed towers, its thousand and one suggestions of the barbaric fighting days. From the parapet wall of the Kremlin the eye carried over league after league of the same snow that clogged Napoleon's retreating footsteps. From the days when they fought hand to hand to the days when they fought with flame and the north wind, Moscow was crowded with associations of fighting, but I looked round it in vain for any sort of suggestion of warfare, now proceeding. "But it is a long way off, that war," said mv Russian friend. "I was in London in the days of your little affair with the Boers, but I did not expect to see martial law. It was a long way to Pretoria, and it is ten thousand versts to Port Arthur. There Is no cannon that can be heard at ten thousand versts. But, If you would like to see some f-ign of war," he went on. "you shall come with me to-night to the railway station, and you shall see a train with many officers on their way to the fighting. For more than that you must go east of Moscowto Irkutsk perhaps" There was just one place left on the night train, and I went to Irkutsk. The Siberian Railway is perhaps the most Interesting feature of geography on the map. When you follow that long, relentless, persistent line across the map linking the west and the-east, penetrating the impenetrable, relentlessly marching towards a goal, geographical and political, so remote that one wonders how the human mind ever came to the conception of it, when you trace that long Hue with your forefinger across the widest stretch of Mercator's projection, your imagination thrills almost as though you were watching the accomplishment of communication with Mars. NINE DAYS AND NIGHTS. But J regret to state that the Siberian Railway, when you come to travel by it, is the most uninteresting, the dullest and dreariest of longueurs. For nine weary nights and days the train plods, plods, plods along at fitteen miles an hour. Sometimes it might be twenty. Sometimes, with a bit of an adverse gradient, it might be six. By night the axles clank, clank, clank with such a slow monotony that the sound does not resolve Itself, as on our more rapid lines, into a sort of rhy:m, but continues its persistent and unvarying staccato. By day, as you look through the carriage window, there glides by the unchanglug view of an endless, wide white sheet of snow, absolutely level, absolutely uninteresting! It is as if you were looking at a panorama of which the paint had been washed away. For foreground there is sometimes a zigzag line of fencing, and for background there is generally, faint and dim on the horizon, a narrow, dark streak that is all you can see of, a far-off pine forest. Occasionally the pine forest, comes nearer, and then the blackened stumps of trees that have been cut diversify the view, with here and there a clump of slender white-trunked trees. But for the most part the trees are but the. faint line far away across the plain, and in between is nothing but the blank sheet of snow. At intervals of an hour or so the train stops at a station, and you make for the platform to see life. You see a huge pile of firewood, pine chunks, fuel for the engine, a neat little brick station, a dozen disconsolate-looking loungers in sheepskin coats and high felt boots doing nothing In particular. Near by are a biggish brick goods depot and a little group of railwaymen's cottages, but no other sign of human habitation or human activity. There Is the crossing of the Ural mountains, of course, and the expectation of that experience sustains you for a day in advance, while the recollection of it carries you over a couple of days afterwards. But the Ural mountains are not so imposing as they look on paper, and. moreover, as we crossed the summit of the pa?s in the middle of the night they did not have fair play from the train by which I traveled. In fact, the Siberian Railway has the

most irritating habit of getting to nil such interesting places as there are in the darkness. It was dead of night, for instance, when we crossed the great bridge over the Volga, and It was dead of night when we passed the boundary of Europe into Asia. I was awake, but did not feel any bump, and indeed when daylight came I was unable to perceive any respect In which Russia in Asia differed from Russia in Europe. JOVIAL RUSSIAN TROOPS. I looked out of the carriage windows diligently on both sides for signs of war, the passage of troops, the collection and transport of stores. But it was days before I saw a troop train. We passed it at a wayside station. More than twenty' horse trucks full of as jovial a lot of soldiers as ever went to war. There was not one among them who was frost-bitten; there was not one among them who was not perfectly comfortable. They were singing songs some rousing chorus songs that I could tell were about war and some plaintive minor songs that I guessed from experience of other soldiers were about "mother" and they were all as Jolly as sandboys. Every van had a stove in it and a sleeping place for every man, and if the Journey was long and slow, what did that matter to them? There were nine weary days and nine weary nights before we came to Irkutsk. And still I had seen nothing of war. "But what do you expect?" said a Russian officer. "We are yet only at Irkutsk. What can there be of war yet? You must cross the Baikal. It is not till after the Baikal that the war area begins." There was a train in the station ready to leave for the Baikal, so the correspondent boarded it, and departed with high hopes that there he would see some of the hardships and terrors of war; that he would find there the state of congestion of troops and supplies that was to furnish one of the great drawbacks to Russian success. He continues his comment on the uninteresting character of the country, notes that the railroad is working perfectly and that the journey Is uncomfortable only by reason of its length and monotony. The climate is moderate and the snow is no greater depth than is to be seen in England every winter. The soldiers he saw en route were cheerful, comfortable, well warmed and well fed. Irkutsk what he saw of it impressed him favorably. There was an excellent cafe near the station, in which Jovial Russian officers were drinking excellent champagne at nine "ruble ($4.50) a bottle. CROSSING THE LAKE. I crossed the Biakal in a troika, he says, a basket on wooden runners, drawn by three horses abreast thirty-odd miles over the ice and am compelled regretfully to relate that instead of being anything of a hardship It was one of the most exhilarating and delightful expe riences of my life. And I not only experienced the agony of thoroughly enjoying the crossing myself, but I had to .suffer the further misery of witnessing the delight of every one else. I saw two regiments of infantry marching across, each with its baggage train of sleighs. They were swinging along as gaily as though they were out for a constitutional, with a glow in their cheeks that was as much from enjoyment as exertion. And as to the difficulties of transport, concerning which London has been projecting wild speculations, and even St. Petersburg had been somewhat alarmed, why, compared with the transport line between Kimberley and Paardeberg about the same distance, by the way the Baikal was the easiest and simplest and smoothest of operations. It was Sunday, March 7 (Russian style, which means thirteen points off the reckoning.) When I got out of the train at the Baikal lakeside station it was freezing hard (also Russian reckoning, which is still more misleading). The thermometer marked 10 degrees below zero Reaumur, which is equivalent to about 10 degrees above zero Fahrenheit, or 22 degrees of frost. In this clear, dry, still atmosphere, with the sun always shining in the daytime,' 10 degrees, though it would be formidable enough in England, means nothing more than a bright, agreeable, pleasantly-warm day. My only hope now of anything interesting centered in those volcanic eruptions and fissures in the ice, of which I had heard lurid stories. So I walked to the end of the platform and took an anxious look at the lake. I forgot my disappointments. I forgot all about the volcanic fissures in the entrancement of the first view of Baikal. All Hooded in sunshine, the most spacious panorama, the biggest part of the world I had ever seen at one view. A large expanse of snow-covered ice, stretching away and away until the eye lost It in the dimness of the horizon. And, rising out of the dimness of the horizon far and far beyond, but still in the clear daylight seemingly near and distinct, the snow-covered mountains of the other side. You cannot get a view of a range of mountains, as a rule, on account of the hills in between. But here, at the narrowest part of the lake, for the thirty-odd miles that lay between, there was not so much as a molehill to obstruct the view. You could see the range, rows and ranks of mountains, their bases vague In the dimness about the horizon, their valleys like purple shadows. ..eir sides glowing with many tints of refracted light, but their peaks all gleaming white against the- clear blue of the cloudless sky. FOUR HOURS' DELIGHT. Hundreds of sleighs, with low basketwork bodies on wooden runners, with three shaggy Mqngolian ponies harnessed with rope to each one, stood in rows in the yellow churned-up snow and powdered ice at the lake's edge. To each sleigh was a shaggy sheepskln-clad driver, yelling like mad for custom. These were the troikas in which we were to cross the lake, and the way we were to go was marked by a yellow streak leading out upon the white bosom of the lake. Near at hand it was a broad and very yellow streak, but as the eye followed It It narrow d and faded and was lost In the vast expanse of white. But still the track could be followed by the little shelter huts standing at regular intervals ol a few versts along the line, till, with the Increasing distance, the huts dwindled Into a line of dots growing fainter and fainter until It faded out of ierception. About lour hour the crosslu took lour

hours of the smoothest, easiest, and most exhilarating of journeys. They were not much to look at, those three shaggy Mongolian ponies, but they kept up a steady eight miles an hour, the one in the shafts at a trot and the outsiders at a sort of a canter. And the sleigh was not much to look at Just a shaljow basket on runners. But with a piece of felt and an armful of hay for cushions it was comfortable enough to recline in. and its motion was as smooth and easy as that of a punt in a June backwater. The sun shone warm, points of light sparkled where bits of broken ice caught its rays, the keen, cold, dry air effervesced with oxygen as it whistled by. the white cliffs of the western shore gradually, very gradually, receded. So clear was the light that when we had gone a good five miles from the shore they did not look moie than three hundred yards away. The snow covered mountains on the further side were taking a hundred wonderful new effects of light as they came nearer. After an hour or so I began to find myself losing interest in the scenery and occupying myself wholly with looking ahead for the first sign of the half-way house the rest station in the middle of the lake where was waiting breakfast. No one was ever so hungry, even at Margate, as I. And when we got to the half-way station and that dish of shtchee! Fermented cabbage and meat, half-way between a stew and a soup, is shtchee, and I doubt whether it really is very nice. But there was nothing eaten at the Carlton that day with greater enjoyment, I am sure. Shtchee and vodka, and time to stretch one's legs, and then the basket sleigh again and the stcond half of the crossing. A brisk spin of less than two hours brought us to the further shore, with a final gallop up the eastward bank to the steps of the railway station of Tankhoi. I was very sorry it was all over very sorry, indeed. You do not get a thirty-odd mile spin on a perfectly straight, smooth road, in perfect weather, under novel conditions, and amid the most picturesque turroundlngs often in a lifetime. NOT WAR, BUT WORK. Beyond the lake there was no change in conditions, save that a difference in the appearance of the people was to be noted, the high cheek bones of the Mongolian type becoming more numerous. The railway worked smoothly, and the correspondent admits having reached "a stage of wondering admiration of the Russian genius for organization and getting things done." There were soldiers at each station, and here and there along the line stood a sentyr with fixed bayonet, but the war seemed as far off as ever. Two or three days of this, notes the writer, and suddenly it was spring. When we came to the frontier station of Manchuria we had dropped down out of the snow line, and the ground in the sunshine was moist. I got out of the train, looked round for war, and found not war, but work. The station was full of Russians and Chineseragged Chinese standing about Impassive, doing nothing, the Russians all bustling away at work. There were soldiers by the hundreds, most comfortably clad in greatcoats of a sort of gray frieze. One troop train had just come in. and another was just preparing to proceed. There were sentries on the platforms and In front of the station buildings, and the place was under military regulation and control. But Its was not warfare, but work, that was the feature of Manchuria town. It was the workman, and not the soldier, that one looked around and saw. I took a walk a little way along the line with the commandant, and found building operations on a huge scale proceeding with marvelous rapidity. Colonel Anosoff had been there in command eight days, and in that time he had built a town of bricks, soldiers building a hugo brick canteen with kitchen and bakery, in which a thousand soldiers a day could be catered for and comfortably fed, a large 'brick house for officers quarters, a hospital building, a well, a huge storehouse, offices, and I do not know what besides. The bricks had all been made on the ground near by, and with the aid of steel girders brought, of course, from the west this little town had been run up in eight days. In fact, in addition to carrying an army of soldiers, munitions and provender, the Siberian Railway had found time and convenience to transport an army of workmen, with appliances and materials. And In addition to this new military town a new civilian town had also sprung up alongside the line with wooden houses, wooden shops, and, of course, a wooden church, where a few weeks before had been nothing but the bare earth. And not only at this station ail the way along the line through Manchuria as far as Harbin rest houses and dining houses and barracks, for troops, in transit or in occupation were being run up with the same celerity. UNCOMPLAINING WORKERS. Everywhere they were working away, doing things, constructing, developing, preparing for after the war while the war had not yet begun. In the train I traveled by from Manchuria to Harbin there were a hundred workmen on their way to Port Arthur. My carriage companion was not a soldier, but an engineer. The long train of goods trucks carried not only military stores, but implements, materials and tools. No doubt there is a limit to the carrying capacity of a railway line, but the limit will vary with the organization and the personnel. And the Rurslans are organizers on a big scale, since their country is on a big scale; and hard, uncomplaining workers, too, when the occasion arrives. "You will see." said an officer, "there is nothing a railway cannot do if there is time. And we have plenty of time. If not lo-cay, to-morrow; ir not this year, then next year or the year after. Nltcheoo! What docs it matter?" And if a railway is in the nature of things irresistible a one-horse tramway line would be irresistible, so far as the Chinese, through whose territory the railway runs. are concerned. You see them there about the stations doing nothing, saying next to nothing, standing alone, and. except for a vague look of a sort of childish wonder on their faces, thinking about nothing. A people with a huge, almost superhuman ca paclty of nonexistence. There are not so many troops passing now. The bulk of the army has already passed on toward Mukden and beyond. The railway has done Its work of transporting them, and will easily do its work of supplying them, or, if need be, of transporting and supplying as many
