Indianapolis Horsemen’s Inning. The Indianapolis horsemen had their Iriy nlng yesterday afternoon and last night, for at the two performances ten first prizes went to local entries. The record for the local horse-owners, however, was made by F. M. Murphy, who. with his mare Lady, pulled down three first prizes. One. In the afternoon, was in the saddle horse clasp; the first in the even ing entertainment was In the ladlaa’ turnout class, ami the second first prize won by Lady In the evening was In the com-

bination class. ,

The ladles' turnout claws, by the way, was one of the prettiest events that the show has offered. The various equipages were »o neat and dainty and the homes were so trim and clean cut, and the ladies were attired In beautiful white gowns that would baffle the attempt of any masculine mind to describe without fear of doing an Injustice. Little Joe, owned by A R Thompson, received second prise, end Teudie Nutwood, owned by Mrs. H C. Knode, got th.rd prize. Mr. Thompson,also won a first, last night, in pair to station wagon class, with Little Joe snd

Little Gem.

An event that made much of a hit with the spectators and furnished many hits for the participants was the potato race In the evening. First prize was won by W. P Stlita, of Chicago; second by \V U. White, of Cleveland, and third by E. R glma, of ChUwv.o; but A. B. Ashbrook had the most fun, attired In weird feminine garb, with 1*1* green hat on bright red

hair, and introduced as Mary McLane

Ihtse were only a few of the enjoyable events of yesterday afternoon and evening. but they were the moat picturesque. The attendance last night was the largest

that had been in the big tent.

Most of the implements came from the manufactories In the middle West States. "Experts who have a supply of machines in stock and exhibit them at the different county fairs here held annually and demonstrate their efficiency are employed as agents,” he says. “These agents learn at the same time the needs of the Russian farmers.

Auction sales of real estate have made a bid for renewed popularity In the city recently, until this method of disposing of property has been said by some dealers to be nearing the fad limit, but if it mav justly be called a fad. It Is at k-ast a paying one in many Instances, When asked for his opinion of the lasting qualities of the real estate auction fad. W. E. Mick said: "Fad? 1 do not think that there is any fad about it. The selling of real estate at auction is simply a plain business proposition and when it is conducted on good business principles it has been almost invariable successful. I have no way of knowing when this plan for selling real estate was first tried in Indianapolis, nor do I know who was the first to try it, hut ’way back in 1855 the old firm of Wiley & Martin W'ere selltion lots and improved property at auction when the population of the city wus less than 25,000. These sales were principally in the western, southern and southeastern parts of the city, but occasional sales were made in all parts of the city. At that time the improvements on the North Side consisted mainly of a few ditches through the large sw-amp In the vicinity of Fall creek. An Old-Time Auctioneer. "Real estate business was practically dead during war times, and auction sales were discontinued, but ten years after, in 1874 or 1875. I revived the real estate auction business. L. N. Perry, who was at that time a w r eIl-known auctioneer, was hired on a yearly salary, and from that time until his death, about five years later, he gave his entire time to the business of crying bids on real estate in Indianapolis. In the early days we did not open up large additions to place them on the market in that manner, but the sales were of separate pieces of property in different parts of the city. These sales were always conducted in a systematic way and all details were carefully attended to. The usual methods of advertising were followed, and at times business was so good that we had three and four sales a day, each advertised for a different hour. Since our old auctioneer died we have never made auction sales a specialty although we have occasionally sold a piece of property in that way, the last one only last week." Present Day Sales. The experience of the A. Metzger agency, which has opened up and sold several tracts and additions at auction, has

schoolhouses and churches? -

"The section above mentioned provides: “ Any number of persons, not less than ten, may form an Incorporated company for the purpose of mutual Insurance of tne property of its members against loss )»• fire or damage by lightning, w'hlch property to be insured shall embrace dwelling houses, barns. accompanying outbuildings and their contents, farm implements, hay, grain, wool and other farm products, live stock, wagons, harness, household goods, wearing apparel, provisions, musical instruments and libraries, such property being upon farms

as faim property.’

"The jKjrtion of the statute above quoted describes specifically the kind of pioperty which may be Insured by such a company, but schoolhouses and churches are not included In the property described, and I am therefore of the opinion that a farmers' mutual fire Insurance company, organized under this statute, is not authorized to Insure school-

houses and churches.” .

Hazards of High Speed Engines. With the enormous Increase in the use of high speed power, the hazard from runaway engines, burst flywheels and similar avoidable accidents has become so great that a number of Eastern officials of the liability companies have been discussing the advisability of increasing rates on manufacturing plants where no engine stop or speed limit system Is used. The liability underwriters argue that if the fire insurance companies can make different rates for sprinkled and unsprtnkled risks, the casualty companies should make a like distinction with regard to the use of the speed limit system. Distinguishing Automobiles. The executive committee of the New England Exchange has recognized the vital features of the automobile hazard by especially distinguishing between machines using gasoline under pressure for fuel, with steam for power, and those using the ordinary gasoline explosive engine for power, with gasoline under no pressure In the tank. The committee advises a charge of 50 cents a $100 for the kind using steam power with gasoline under pressure for fuel and 25 cents for those using explosive gasoline engines without pressure.

Mrs Bertie Brown Denied All Knowledge of Death of Knotts. Mrs. Bertie Brown, the young widow who is In the county Jail awaiting trial on tho charge of living unlawfully with Thomas Sampson in New Jersey street, was subjected tb a severe examination by Kinney and Morgan, detectives, and Chief of Police Taylor, of Kokomo, yesterday afternoon, with the hope that she would divulge some testimony that would throw light on the death of Bert Knotts, who was found dead near the railroad tracks In Kokomo over a year ago. There was a suspicion that Sampson was Instrumental In the death of Knotts because of Jealousy between the men over Mrs. Brown.

WANTS MORALITY IN SCHOOLS

New Crusade Started by the Milwaifr kee W. C. T. U. MILWAUKEE, September 2i.-Now it is a crusade against Immorality in th* schools that the Women's Christian Temperance Union intends to start. Leading members of the Women’s Christiaa Temperance Union say there Is gross immorality among the school children, and declare that a systematic education, tending to a higher standard of morality, should lie included Jn the curriculum, just ns the scientific temperance studies already have been made a part of Utt course in many schools. Mrs. W.‘J. Allen, vice-president of the First Milwaukee society of the Women’* Christian Temperance Union, and superIntendunt of Its Purity League, will present a paper in the session Monday afternoon In Plymouth church, embodying th* idea* of the association. “There Is no doubt about th# prevalence of immorality among the school children," said Mrs. Allen. *Tt is due largely to the fact that the parents are remiss in the duty of instructing the children, and school must supplement the home in tills regard. “Many parents err through their own ignorance in not instructing their children regarding many matters. Many* foreigners of little education come here every year, and the children, presumably, attend the public schools. It is reasonable to suppose that the lessons of morality are not taught as they should be to many of these children."
