October ft—The profeaakmaJ character of the market was abundantly proved to-day. in the face of the good news in regard to the gold import done excellent railroad earnings, meet encouraging reports oy the two commercial agenelea and the market, after beottat«ng for thirty mtoutes. developed a downward tendency, and dosing prices were the lowest of the day. The only pretext for the aggressive attitude of bears is that for the time being speculation is more or less dead. That cotnraissionbouses are carrying a fair line of stocks, and that possibly on the decline liquidation may be accomplished, and that the weather to the Northwest has been so dry as to sertouety retard plowing for the winter wheat crop. The back statement was also seised upon as an excuse for sltort sales, on account of very small increase in loans, which; according to the piofesakm&i element, reflected a decreased demand for money at this centej. This theory Is hardly toe tenable one. when the figures of bank clearances for the past week ar-» consulted. For the Whole country there la an Increase of 34.3 per cent., a«s compared will, the saute period taat year, clearance* In New lork stone Increasing 3».2 per cent. If comJirtson* are m?de with jm, we find the increase to be over » per cent. The last reason for-the decline in the market was a vague rumor of some change for the worse to our relations with Bpain to regard to the Cuoan question. The clote was heavy at aoout the lowest prices of tha day.

Special to The bMtiaaarotoi Newa Muscle, tnd.. October 9.—A peculiar compile a r ior. of affairs resulted from the reported death of Oliver Patty, a wellknown farmer near Windsor. Wednesday. He went to a field to administer some liniment to a mole that had a sore hoof. He did not appear at home In the evening. and the result of a aeareh announced that ha had been found dead in the field. A large bruise was found on his body over the stomach, it was said, and It was supposed that while doctoring the mule, the animal had kicked him to death. The news reached the ears of the coroners of Randolph and Delaware counties. Patty's farm is right at the county line, part of It tying In this county and the rest tn Randolph county. The coroners are desirous of getting the fee that would fall to the one who happen to live In the county tn which the accident occurred, and surveyors were sent out to determine Just where the body was found. On their way to the farm to-day. Coroner Poland, of this city, received word that Patty was not dead, but was only so badly injured that he can not live long. The coroner has since learned that Patty's home Is tn one county and the other part in the other. When Patty dies. It will Involve considerable trouble and expense to determine just who has the right to hold the inquest. If the case Is decided on the place where he was injured, the Randolph county coroner will win. as the accident occurred In that county, but as Patty’s sleeping apartments in hte home are In this county. Dr. Poland stands a good chance of coming out ahead.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES. Several !■ Steele's District—Hendee mad Henry—E. G. Hogate. Special to The Indianapolis Newa. Wabash. Ind.. October 9.—There are now two avowed candidates for the Republican congressional nomination in this city, with several counties to hear from. George W. Steele has stated that he will again ask the honors at the hands of the party, and the Rev. S. E. Nicholson. of Kokomo, has made two trips through the six counties of the district cultivating his boom. Carey E. Cogwill has the question of entering the fight under advisement. James F. Stutesman, of Peru, who was a candidate two years ago, will not enter this year, waiting until he considers the times a little more propitious. Ex-Senator Loveland has also been “mentioned” by his Miami county friends, but has declined to run. In Huntington county. Dr. C. H. Good, who was an aspirant four yean ago, is considering the chances, but as the contest between him and James B. Kenner, of Huntington, at Hartford City four years ago, is likely to be renewed. It is the opinion of the best informed politicians that neither Dr. Good, whose hothe Is at Warren, nor Mr. Kenner, will go Into the fight. The district is surely Republican by from 3.000 to 6,000, and the efforts of the candidates will all be centered on corraling the nomination. Denial that Sendee will Ran. Rushville. Ind., October 9.—A paper at Anderson says that Edgar E. Hendee, the well-known orator of that city, will be a candidate against Congressman Charles L. Henry for the congressional nomination in the spring, and that Mr. Hendee’a candidacy is being pushed by his friend. ex-Congressman James E. Watson, of this city. Mr. Watson denies the story. Congressman Henry, Mr. Watson and Mr. Hendee are friends, and Henry has no warmer supporter than Watson, whose old home is in Mr. Henry's district. Mr. Watson announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the Sixth district next spring, and if indications are not deceiving, he will have scarcely any opposition. Two years ago in this district Mr. Watson and Congressman Henry U. Johnson, of Richmond. made a memorable fight for the nomination. After a bitter struggle, Mr. Johnson won by a few votes. So strong was the feeling aroused that Johnson and Watson do not speak to this day. Mr. Johnson has announced his intention to retire from public, life at the expiration of his present term, and this will leave the field clear to Mr. 'Watson. E. G. Hogate for Coagress. Special to Th-? ludianapolta New*. Brownsburg. Ind., October 9.—E. Q. Hogate, of Danville, Joint Senator of Hendricks and Putnam counties, is favorably mentioned throughout the Fifth district as a -Republican candidate for Congress against George W. Farts, the present * incumbent, from Terre Haute. The Clayton correspondent of the Danville Republican has announced the name of Mr. Hogate as a candidate for Governor in 1900.

STATE LIBRARIAN'S

WHAT HR PRO-

Rearraoereaseat af th* Room to Bibliography of tog tho Lthrory of Sorrteo.

The plan of W. K. Henry. State Librarian, approved by the State Library Board, for adding to the library'* public utility, to embodied in his report fo* the six months ending October L The accessions to the library for the six months include 681 volumes and 444 pamphlets. ‘“The entire effort of the management." the librarian soya. , te toward making tho library representative of the Bute." He says he found the cards of the card catalogue lying loose In the drawers of the cabinet, which ran derad them nracTically useless except to the library force, and liable to disarrangement even by the force. To make this catalogue of utility to the general public and secure against both loss and disorder. locking rods have been placed in each drawer. Upon taking charge ot the library he found the most valuable space taken up by a public readingroom, which waa very little used, and which seemed to him not within the province of a State library, "for the State library can not compete with the city library in currant matter of ail grades without expending its entire fund in that way. What we buy must become of more, not leas, value by age. While so much space was given to thh we had no accommodation to offer real students in the library, who wished to work for hours, or days, or weeks, as some have recently done. With these defects to be remedied, I readjusted the furnishings so as to leave still sufficient reading room for all who care to use It. and yet make available for leglttmati. uses of a library nine hundred square feet of floor space. A small portion we needed for working quarters for our owi* force, but most of it has been converted Into a reference room for real students and Investigators. Legislative Papers Mtaslag. "The library haa storage rooms In the basement. One of these was supposed to contain all duplicate volumes and all legislative papers of earlier date than 1877. The contents of this room had no semblance of order, and no person knew either what It contained, nor where to find what it did contain. With a force of three persons, and requiring over two weeks of time, we have succeeded In making a list of all duplicates so that we know precisely what we possess. We have listed, shelved or boxed and labeled every book or paper, and can find any item on a minute’s notice. "Further, the law provides, and has always provided, that the librarian is to have charge of. and preserve all legislative papers, and especially the bills introduced The fact Just discovered is that there is not to be found a legislative paper of earlier date than 1963. save a few odd numbers of 1861. and some minutes of the assembly from about 1842 to 1947. Much as It Is to be regretted, the fact remains that unless these papers are In charge of some deportment, for which the law makes no provieloti, they are not in existence. Further, the law seems to have been almost uniformly disregarded concerning the preservation of certain State publications, such as copies of the law, for example. Bibliography of ladtaua. "We have already begun to collect material for a bibliography of Indiana. A bibliography of Indiana should contain the following clasaee.of work: “L a list of all the Btate publications. *•2. A Hit of alt references to the Btate, ■o far as can be obtained. ‘S A list of all books written by citisens of the Btate. with name of author and title and date of publication. "4. A list of all pamphlets by citisens of the State, with same as for book* "5. A list of all magasine articles written by citisens of the Btate. "6. A list of the magaafnea and newspapers of the Btate, with tha names of editors. “80 far. in pursuance of thla Idea, we have addressed letters to al) county superintendents of schools, to all members of the Western Writers’ Association reeldent In the State, to each college, academy and normal school in the State, uml to the leading authors of the Btate, that they might collect their own material. We have yet to address all the editors of the State. We have collected 550 titles not possessed tn the library, not including magasine articles. • For many year* the library haa had no catalogue. If our library la to become of larger value over the State It is desirable that we have a printed catalogue, in book form, which may be distributed to certain centers over the Btate; say. to all other libraries. Even If the books of the State library never circulate, aa mottt of them will nett. It is desirable for persons wishing to consult the library to see what we have without making a trip to the Capitol. The library must ultimately require more money than la now appropriated for books and binding. In this respect we are directly and wholly dependent upon our General Assembly. Service to Legislators. •‘There is no hope of obtaining larger appropriations unless we can make what we have of greater service to our legislators. Their estimate of the value of the library Is based, as ft should be. upon the service It can render them when they seek its assistance. Legislators have talked of closing the library when it ha* failed to serve them on immediate request. I have planned a line of library work for the year opening, which we hope will accomplish the end sought, and In addition will make the library more available for all who wish to see It. "The plan under contemplation is as follow*: “t We propose to make an index to the legislation of all the State* for the aeasions of 1867-98 to place in the bands of our legislators at the opening session ot U&9. This index shall classify and set forth under appropriate heads all the acts of all the legislatures. "2. There are a large number of subjects always before every Legislature for consideration, and upon which our library is fairly well suppiied. but upon a moment’s notice much of it can not be made accessible. We propose to make complete bibliographies of all our library contains upon each of these subjects, and put tt in pamphlet form, not alone for service to legislators, but as a guide to ourselves, that upon a minute’s notice we can place in the hands of a reader all the library contains upon a given subject. These bibliographies would contain such subjects as railroad*, street railroads, sanitation, taxation, reformatories. prison management, municipal affairs such aa concern State legislation, public roads, insurance, ard many other such subjects."

The Allen Manufacturing Company, which has been making bicycles with prison labor within the wails of the State prison at Michigan City, has made a mortgage to secure its indebtedness to the banks. Out of the embarrassment will probably grow a suit against the State for the value of 2,606 bicycles, a» the company maintains that tt lost a market for that many wheels by the transfer of the skilled labor employed In the factory to the Btate Reformatory at Jeffersonville. Edward Hawkins, of thu city, who has been appointed trustee un der the mortgage, returned to-day from a meeting of the officers and directors of the company at Michigan City. The company, he says, found itself unable to pay ite paper due, and executed a mortgage on the plant for the benefit of the banks that hold the paper.
