fSp.M'lal to Tha InilanapoUa New*.] NKW YORK. September G,-Prculdent ll.ietlnK*. of the Indianapolis Oss Company, ha* decided that hla company will lie willing to sell natural gus In Indianapolis If a sufllrlent price Is paid for the f u ,l Just before leaving for Atlantic , ity last night he was asked whether his , , mpany would supply natural gas In Indlnr apolls at any prlee If metered. ■Yes. we will glamy supply Indianapolis tonsi... rs with natural gas If metered. In preference to any other Consum. rs. provided they will bear the coat of transporting natural gaa to them from Iho wells, and not prevent such transportin' n by legal obstructions.” was his reP 1 ) . i Prefer to Sell in Indianapoll*. ■ We can market all our supply of natural gas now. However, we would prefer t., sell It to Indianapolis consumers if permitted. The supply Is decreasing at „ rapid rate, and changed conditions In the supply compel changed arrangemeets, yet. we are more than anxious, despite the unfriendly attitude of the Ind ana polls local authorities, to supply that thriving city with all the advantaios in our power. eif course, the supply Is limited and It would be I hi possible, seconding to reports id nur experts, to furnish all the natural it as d.slred or wanted during cold wealh- , r. but such amount us we have we are anxious to sell to Indianapolis consumers in preference to others. If given a fair . h irve lo do so. and that Is. of course, 1 . measure, through meter, at a tlxed
price.
The small consumers In Indianapolis we would be glad to supply Instead of l.irxe consumers, for our Interests lie entirely In building up and developing that .•no uprising city, where we are Investing our money and marketing our prod- \ as our profits naturally will grow ■ rger with the growth of the city. Say* Authorities Are Shortsighted. ' So far as the Indianapolis Gas Comp we- ts concerned It would be foolish, even Idiotic, for It to attempt a policy other than one which would Include serving Its Indianapolis customers with the It-*t at a fair margin of profit. What *•. ax well as other business, need. Is < ustomere. We want them, and If the Indianapolis city authorities will permit we will give them the best and heapest gas service compatible with ■ "tiditlons and such local restrictions us eliort-sighted authorities Insist upon Im-
poslng.
We are willing to give Indianapolis the b* uefit of all our natural gas supply If tbe Common Council will permit those who are willing to buy natural gis, to [ rchase It at a price sufficient to pay Hie lost of furnishing It. together with

Disagree* with Mr. Potts. Mr. Hasting* said that the company could not hope to supply natural gas meters to all consumers this season. When shown a statement of attorney Alfred F. Potta that he could raise 1170,000 to get meters to Indianapolis by express trains. Mr. Hastings was skeptical and laughingly remarked: "I believe I have much better facilities for securing natural gas meters than Mr.

Mr Potts propoi
Mr. Hustings expressed doubts as to the practicability of using any of the gas In the Marlon field, which Mr Potts said was going to waste, on the ground that It could scarcely be adapted for heating purposes: that there whs. In other words, more wind than gas In It. Has No Doubt of Hi* Right*. When asked regarding the point raised as to the right under the ten-year ordinance of 18ftl> to furnish artificial gas fuel when Illumination was the only object recited In the law, and as to the charters of the Indianapolis Oas Company's predecessors, Mr. Hastings bald: "It may be true that the ordinance of 1*99 and the charters of the old companies which we acquired only apeclfied Illumination by artificial gas at the dollar rate, but that amounta to nothing—a mere quibble over technicalities. There Is scarcely an ordinance or a statute or charter granted to an artificial gas corporation In this country which Includes fuel supply In other terms In It. Look «t New York. Thousands of consumers In this city, yes, nearly a million, use artificial gas for heating, cooking and other fuel purpoaes. yet you will find In their charters. In ordinances and statutes forming thorn not one word about using gas primarily made for Illumination for
An Illustration.
"Tl Is all nonaense. Because a grocer jells you Hour to make bread at the regular price, can he be legally restrained from selling me flour at the same price If I wish to make paste of It, or, we'll say. burn It? We are not at all afraid of the construction the courts will place upon our right under the Indianapolis ordinances and our charter to sell artificial gaa for either Illuminating or heating, culinary or fuel purposes at the ordi-
nance rate.” Hastings said

Sentiment has
culty. Sentiment has changed since then and Its^assagu^at^ next week’s meeting tain that It will not'pass. r C * r ' The t.'ouncll and President Heath today visited the local gas field In which the company wells are located. This step was taken at the suggestion of the Council, which desired to be convinced of the supply that was coming from the company's wells. Nine wells were tested and the highest pressure In any of them was sixteen pounds. Two of these wells were drilled four weeks ago, and at the time of their completion they showed a pressure of 150 pounds. The councilmen thought some of the gauges might have been “fixed” by the’eompany and they lock a new one along. All registered exactly the same. It was shown conclusively that the company has but little gas—not one-fifth enough to supply
tho city.
With the abandonment to-day by the Kettenbach family of the property at 735 Massachusetts avenue, another of the few remaining landmarks of the early Indianapolis passes away. This property, together with Nos. 737, 739 and 741, has been the Kettenbach homestead ever since 1866. when Henry Kettenbach. 8r., the pioneer of the family, set up his first “general” store. This store was located In the low brick structure at the corner of the alley and Is now known as 737 Massachusetts avenue. Great changes have taken place In the neighborhood since the erection of that little brick store. At that time the town of Indianapolis was about a quarter of a mile to the west and the land In the neighborhood was In various stages of cultivation. The trade was largely with the country folk at first, but gradually the city spread out and the grocery received Its share of the town trade. At the death j of Henry Kettenbach,. Julius A. Neumeyer. his son-in-law, and Edward Kettenbach. his son, took charge of the business, and were afterward succeeded by “Billy” Kettenbach. The property has never been out of the
hands of tb

The Kettenbach Well.
The old property has long been known as a landmark, but the most distinguished thing about the premises Is the “Kettenbach well,” which for nearly half a century has supplied the neighborhood with the "best drinking water In the county.” The well Is under the Massachu-setts-avenue sidewalk, and Is used by all the street ear men whose lines pass the place, as well as by the residents of the neighborhood for squares around. It la said that on warm summer evenings the old pump does a better business than any
of the nearby barrel houses.
The original well was dug and walled with stone In '5fi by Henry Kettenbach, Sr., but after several years of service It went dry. aiul.lt was necessary to drive It deeper, and this course of action has been resorted to several times. A score of pumps have done service, and when last summer the one In use played out. the people living near took up a collection
and bought a new one.

retary of War It was represented that the Arsenal grounds were wanted for educational purposes. Undoubtedly this representation had much to do with the enactment of the legislation conferring on the Secretary of War discretion to sell the property and reinvest the proceeds of the sale in army post lands near the city.

It has been represented from Washington all along, and is undoubtedly true, that the War Department is not enthusiastic over the proposal to establish an army post here, and the Impreslon prevails that the department Is not likely to become more deeply Interested In the proposal If It Is represented that the people of Indianapolis are not sufficiently Interested to provide funds with which to buy the Arsenal ground* for

"No one should longer suffer from catarrh when Perunn Is accessible. To my knowledge It has caused relief to so many of my Mends and acquaint’ ances that It Is humanity to commend Its use to ell persons suffering with this distressing disorder ol the human system."—Louis E. Johnson.
Mr. Cyrus Hershman, Sheridan. Ind., writes: •Two years ago I wa* a sick man. Catarrh had settled In the pelvic organ*, making life * burden and giving mo little hope of recovery. I spent hundreds of dollars In medicine which did me no good. I was persuaded by a friend to try Peruna. I took It two week* without much improvement, but I kept on with It and soon began to get well and strong very fast. Within two month* I waa cured, and have been well ever since. I am a strong advocate of Peruna.”—C. Hershman. Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys, liver and other pelvic organs, simply because It cures catarrh wherever located. No other systemic catarrh remedy has as yet beca devised. Insist upon having Parana. Thera are no medicines that can he substituted.
