The Goahen Doily Xfws estimates that the world's fair drew about three hundred thousand dollars out of Elkhart county alone. Lewis Black of North Madison sold all his household furniture while his wife and daughter were at the world's fair and left for the Indian territory. Burglars at Bicknell Mew open the iron safe in John Donaldson's store Friday night and took f 12 in cash, a lot of clothing and other articles to the value of 12Z). The divorce suit of George K. Boots of Butler has been compromised. Mrs. Boots returning to her home, and Date Miller, the cause of the trouble, to leave the community. B. I Biiiter announces that he has sold the Huntington Democrat to Robert J. Day. jr.. who is now in control. Mr. Bilitr will devote his attention to the Farmer's Guide, an agricultural paper established by him. A party of girls who were out "Ilallowe'ening' Tuesday night at Monticello threw a stone through a windiw of a house occupied by D. B. Stafford and family, striking a child. Stafford fired Into the crowd with a phot-pun. hitting three or four of the fair serenaders. The next morning the doctors were busy picking out shot. Diphtheria is racring in the country adjacent to Klwood, and a general epidemic is feared. In the vicinity of Dundee a numtx-r of deaths have occurred, and the disease is reported as spreading with alarming rapidity. Three of the township schools have closed, luid the others will be forced to suspend If the epidemic is not checked. The state board of health has been appealed to. The world's fair has closed and of its success ever' Indianhin has just reasons to b pro j. a, for thousands tipVn thousands of them contributed th ir mite in attendance to make it such. To them it was a field of study p-ned up: vi.-ions of the resources and d- i p.pments of unknown lands were beTore them at every step. They made sai-riiics to go, but were amply repaid for it. To thvrii it was an Inditna affair, as they joy and g'e.ry in triumph as much as though Chicago was the metropolis of Indiana. LVluhi Times. Burlington is till torn up over the audden aad mysterious appearance of diphtheria, in its most malignant form. Five children of Ser.ator J. M. Beck were st.-.clon with the dread disease and one of them di-I Tuesday night. The others are not exjected to survive the attack. T'p to the p resent time the contagion has b--n confined to th home of Mr. Bock, but it is quite likely that the entire Villa? has been exposed to the disease. Tlie s hools are practically desrt-d nw, although no official action h:is been taken to close them. Jude? I- B. Baldwin, in a recent speech on "Hard Times" at Indianapolis, aald: "The genera! proposition I am now maintaining is that we are suffering from a periodic collapse and suffering in I common with other nation?, and that this collapse would have come under Harrison, had he been re-elected, just j the fame us under Cleveland, for it is non-political in its cause. Th assertion that this is a Cleveland paino is worse than bosh." You couldn't nuke some of the small-fry g. o. p. organs believe In that sensible argument. Morgan County Gazette. Coroner Harrod held the Inquest relative to the death of Dr. George X. Worley of Williamsport, and his verdict was to the effect that the deceased met death at his own hand by swallowing a large dose of morphine. Coroner Harrod stated to a Journal reporter that Dr. "Worley told Mrs. Worley about three hours after he had taken the morphine that his hours on earth were numbered; that he had taken morphine, and would not receive medical attention. The doctor's words were too true, for he expired at 11 a. m. Thursday. Ft. Wayne Journal. Norman Keever and George Ecil, residing rive miles east of town, captured an odd-looking- tramp Monday night and brought him to jail. The tramp was first discovered In Bell's residence and he pave chase to the man, l-Hng joined by Keever. The man had on four or five suits of clothing and wore hair about a fot lung, which had probahly liad not felt a comb in five years. lie was placed in jail and given a clean shave and hair cut which materially altered his appearance. He is evidently a lunatic out on a vacation. White County Democrat. Speaking of the proposition to suppress by congressional legislation a certain Secret ord'-r, th Logansixirt Pharos says: "This A. P. A. organization cannot exist any great length of time. The people are too tolerant and prize liberty too highly to permit Puch a, society to become very strong. The knowimthlng party livl l-ng cnouRh to do fcoms harm. Lut it never did any good. Its nam" became a synonym of narrow-n-s and intolerance. A man who is tinwililrg to grant to others the same rights that Je himself enjoys is not a good American." The divorce suit cf old Harvey Tomlinson and wife occupied the attention of the court last Thursday. Mr. Tomlin.n alleged in his complaint cruelty and desertion on the part of his wife. She came bat k at him with a general denial and th result was a pretty thorough airing of both characters. The case was bitterly contested and the smutmill kept busy. Judge Harney refused to grant the decree and old Harvey Is Just whero began. Soni fourteen years ago Tomlinson got a divorce from his wife and she was awarded $4.500 and he marricij her jtirain to avoid payment. Crawfordsvjlle lieview. Ralph TarHll bought a roup bone for the Tribune's canine attachment yesterday. A man whom hunger rio doubt forced to do such a disgusting thing, took the bone from the dog, and wrapping it in a handkerchief, started oft toward home, with Balph, who had witnessed the act. in close pursuit. When Jtalph overtook the man with the bone lie made him carry it back and return It to th dog, who was licking his chops In contemplation of what he had lost. The pir man is to le pitied, but no doubt he will never again' try to rob a dog of a lone, especially when the master Is in sight. South Bend Times. It seems that the shooting of Gus Marsh near Mauckport. Harrison county, by Daniel Fulkerson. was not an attempted assassination nor from ambush. A report from Harrison county today is to the effect that Fulkerson had been hunting and that he and Larsh met on the highway and renewed an old quarrel, and that threats of violence were made by both parties. Fulkerson finally raising his double barrel phot-gün and f.rin? the contents of both barrels Into Marsh, after which he ran off. Fulkerson is said to be a harumscarum sort of fellow, owns no property, and Is not considered of much account. Marsh is improving and will soon be able to be out. Fulkerson is in jail at Corydon to await a hearing. New Albany Ledger. A funny Incident occurred on Nickel Plate passenger train N'o. 2 between this station and South Whitley, says the Ft.

Nearly all the occupants of the car were asleep when suddenly there was a terrific explosion, followed by a splash. "Train robbers!" shouted an excited passenger as he rushed down the aisle. Investigation showed that the bottle of wine had burst and had ioured down the back of the aforesaid passenger, who mite naturally thought the explosion a pistol shot which had crashed through the window. The Independent was talking Saturday with a well-known bnsker. The banker said, in reference to the manufacturers: "They have had a pretty haid time in making their collections from their customers. They sent out drafts on customers, and the customers, not having the money to pay with, would allow the drafts to be returned unpaid and ask for an extension of time. As nobody wanted Jo crowd their customers an extension had to be given. This made the factories short of funds with which to pay operating expenses, and they necessarily were obliged to close down. But collections are bettor and matters will soon come around all right." nichmoi.d Independent. Simon B. LaBaw, t prosperous farmer of Shawnee township, was a caller at the Friend office Monday. Speaking of crops and their prices, Mr. LaBaw said that his corn is light, but he will get along very well by feeding wheat to his stock. In reply to a question as to whether it would pay, Mr. LaBaw informed us that he has a bunch of hogs that he is fattening on wheat, and that he has never had hogs to do so well before. His plan is to have the wheat ground without having the bran separated from the flour, and mix it up with water and feed it. In that way he Is confident he will, at the present price of hogs, get a dollar or upward for every bushel of wheat fed. Covington Friend. The reception tendered the Rev. and Mrs. Mahin Tuesday evening in honor of tht? fiftieth aniversaiy of their marriage was a notable event. The church was profusely and appropriately decorated and the scene and the occasion were pleasant and enjoyable. No Invitations were issued, but all were made welcome. Dr. Mahin lias been identified with the methodist church since he was seventeen years of age and today is one of the most prominent ministers in Ulis conference. He has endeared himself to the local congregation and Tuesday night his friends gave additional evidence of their respect and appreciation. Mr. and Mrs. Mahin were presented with 5"0 In gold Tipton Times. A dispatch was received Monday by I. F. Wade from Los Angeles, Cal., stating that his son. Judge W. 1. Wade, died at his home In that city Sunday of stomach trouble. Judge Wade was fifty-four years old. He was reared in this city, but went when a young man to Iowa, and at the commencement of the civil war enlisted in the Second Iowa regiment. He served with distinction through the war and was severely wounded at the battle of Ft. Donelson in which his regiment took an active part. He afterward went to California, where he became an eminent lawyer. He served on the bench and was a jurist of wide reputation. In politics he was an ardent republican. In his death California loses one of its most distinguished and useful men. Crawfordsville Journal. C. I?. Pusey, who lives four miles east of this city, was frightfully cut by falling against his large circular saw while It was In motion on last Friday evening. Mr. Pusey runs a saw mill near his house, and while at work in the mill his foot slipped in some manner, which precipitated him against the saw. He did not fall directly against It, but as It was, he was frightfully cut across the breast and on both his arms. Drs. Black and Kamsey were summoned. and sewed up his wounds, requiring four hours' hard work. Mr. Pusey exhibited remarkable nerve and refused the administering of an anesthetic, hut stood the operation like a hero. Unless some complication arises it is thought he will recover.- It was a narrow escape from a frightful death. Hancock Democrat. April H last Samuel Boss was put in Jail for failure to pay Anna Sprauge a Judgment of $:5C7. account of paternity proceedings she had instituted against him. Sunday IMss gave her his gold watch and 1 toss's mother deeded her little farm of sixty-five acres to Miss Sprauge as a matter of compromise, after whic h Miss Sprauge mortgaged the land to James S. Brown. Dave Km ig, W. W. Waltman and County Clerk Eulwider and Sheriff Lucas, to secure payment of court cost and their fees. Ross was thn released from jail, after nearly seven months' confinement. The little home was all the old lady possessed yet she sacrificed It to release her son from jail. The land is poor, and at forced pale "will not bring more than the costs and attorney fees. It looks like a sacrifice all round. Columbus Times. The passengers of the west-bound Big Four passenger train Friday evening experienced a tiresome delay by reason of an attempt on the part of a discrepit hprse. without proverbial horse sense, to walk the Dry branch trestl. The troublesome beast had felt his way out on the high structure for a distance of about thirty feet when he became dizzy and a misstep caused a fall between the ties. In endeavoring to extricate himself the horse hecama wedged tight. Very fortunately the discovery was made in time to flag the passenger train. An hour was spent In cutting the ties and dragging the obstacle off the trestle, during which time the train mn called down great showers of blessing upon the head of the horse and the owner who ixrmitted him to wander and to roam. Crawfordsville Argus. The Sunday-school workers of Brookston entertained the County Sundayschool union last Friday and Saturday. Kindest hospitality, good music and appreciative audiences made the meeting very pleasant. In addition to the local talent President Meigs of the State Sunday-school union was present. He said the state union was organized soon after the war by some of the men who had saved the nation from the rebellion, who further wanted to save it from sin. It sought to get all religious denominations to co-operate in Sunday-school work. It is not the business of any one denomination, or any single individual, to look after religious matters of the country. Organization and union will make systematic work. There are twice aa many children in Indiana who never go to Sunday-school as there were soldiers sent from this state to the war. White County Democrat. The road between Jonesboro and Fairmount is acquiring a reputation as a dangerous one to travel over after dark. Several weeks ago two buggies were held up and their occupants made to hand over their money and valuables. On different occasions suspicious looking men have been seen on the road at late hours of night, and one or two other robberies have occurred. Tuesday night a man named Canady, employed at WlnsIow'B livery barn at Falrmoxint, was returning home from Jonesboro. He knew the reputation of that part of the road and had a revolver with him. He was driving with his left hand and carried tho revolver Jn his right hand. When about two miles south of Fair-

mount a man jumped out from the road toward his horses' heads. He fired at him, at the same time yelling at his horses. The horses jumped forward find Just a.s he passed the man he heard him say, "Partner, I'm shot." This was evidently said to some other man who was in the rear, for several shots were fired by some one at Canady, who by this time had all he could do to attend to his team of horses, that were dashing along the pike at a terrific gait. He succeeded in getting them stopped before they reached the south toll gate, and drove into Fairmount on a trot. The "hold up" occurred about 11:30 at night. Marion Chronicle. Much complaint Is being raised In the southern part of the county over the ravages of corn thieves. It is said that visits are made nightly to the fields and a large quantity of corn has disappeared from the shock. A few nights ago J. J. Duncan of Taylor township lost upward of forty bushels, and the next night fifty bushels were taken from the F.nos Neal farm near by. So bold have the marauders become that farmers are getting their grain in the crib as rapidly as possible, where it is kept under lock and key. while watch is kept on the fields by night. They promise if the depredations are kept up that the coroner will be griven a job in which a microscopic examination will be necessary to determine which is the deceased and which is the load of buckshot that laid the subject low. Corn is corn in this part of the country just now, and It will not be parted with lightly. Kokomo Dispatch. The invention of Mr. Clayton of Jeffersonville, which has been on exhibition in the Western Union telegraph office for several days, has attracted unusual attention. The contrivance is for the propelling of sewing machines, and is one of the most ingenious machines Imaginable. It is a spring motor, can be attached to any machine, is perfect in its working and cannot help but be appreciated by the ladies who see it. The machine has been patented a year, but has never been placed on sale, owing to a lack of funds to proceed with its manufacture. A stock company is being formed here, and a number of subscriptions have been booked since yesterday. It is quite possible that a company will be successful in forming and if such Is the case a factory will immediately be started. Thursday evening the board of trade of Elwood wired Mr. Clayton, who Is here, to look at their town for a factory location, offering any inducement. Richmond Item. Monday night a coal black William goat with an abundance of whiskers (a la Senator Peffer) took up a position at the corner of Third-ave. and Bond-st. and jumped at the passers-by. Several ladles were frightened almost into hysterics and ran screaming In all directions and the men who were attacked by his goatship lost no time in getting out of his way. Finally a dog was coaxed to tackle the goat and chased It to the corner cf Third-ave. and Secondst. Here "William" encountered a bevy of fifteen or twenty girls. The girls have a habit of coming down Second-st., arm in arm, stretching clear across the pavement and everybody in the road must step aside, but "William" didn't do it. He made for the center of the throng, and such scattering and screaming, it was like unto a retreat from a dynamite bomb. The goat chased one of the girls down Second from Third-ave. about one hundred feet, when Officer John Kissinger took a hand in the disturbance. He struck the goat several blows on the head with his dub and then chased it to the corner of Walker and Second, where the animal was lost in the darkness. Evansville Courier. Camp Isabella, so well remembered by people from this city to the world's fair, is, like the fair itself, a thing of the past. Hal Duffy and wife arrived at their home in this city yesterday, and Howard Duffy and wife and Charles Wert and wife, whose kindness as hostess none who stopped with them will forget, will be home today. Not long before the opening of the great Columbian exposition Angerman Glenn of Ketucky, a former citizen of this city, went to Chicago with no particular object in view, and in looking around discovered a large vacant lot on Madlsonave., about three or four squares from the main entrance, Fifty-seventh-st. He conceived the idea of establishing; a tent for the temporary accommodation of world's fair visitors, and at once telegraphed for Howard Duffy, who went up there and looked over the ground and joined with Mr. Glenn and Byron Duffy, and leased the ground and then put up t;heir bents. They then rented a brick residence near by and used It for lodging ieople. Both the tents and hotel were crowded during nearly all of the fair. Columbus Times. A report, vague as to particulars but seemingly well founded, comes from Hamlet to the effect that about ten days ago a man whose name we could not learn came to that place from Wheatfield, 111., to visit the section foreman on the Pittsburg road, who is his brother-in-law. After being there a few days he expressed a wish to take a hunt, and borrowed a gun, pair of rubber boots and hunting coat for that purpose. lie started out in the borrowed clothes one morning, leaving his own suit, a good one, at the home of his brother-in-law, since which time he has not been seen or heard from. His relatives became alarmed and organized searching parties to hunt for him perhaps on the third day of his absence, but no trace of him was found. Later on his wife came from Wheatfield and urged further search. Another party was made up and the whole country was carefully gone over, but without any better success. No mtlve can be learned for his disappearance and the affair is shrouded in mystery. Our Hamlet correspondent may be able to throw further light on the matter next week, as we understand the search Is still in progress. Starke County Democrat. Tuesday a representative of the Kelly ax works of Louisville and Mr. John McCllntock of Alexandria, representing a real estate syndicate of that city, were in Anderson. The mission was an important one to the men interested and of the utmost concern to Alexandria anil Madison county pa well. The closing scenes in the deal, by which the Kelly ax works of Louisville, one of the largest manufacturers of axes in the world. Is to be transferred to the Indiana gas belt and located in Alexandria were enacted. Mr. John McCllntock, who has been one of the central figures in the deal, made the formal transfer of the property to tho attorney of the Louisville manufacturer. The deal is one of the largest yet consummated In the gas belt and required the most persistent effort on the part of a band of energetic, shrewd and daring men. The transfer of this mammoth concern was brought about at no little expenditure of money. The people of Alexandria purchased lots amounting to $!0,0oo, which went as a cash bonus. The real estate syndicate deeded lots and acreage property to Mr. Kelly valued at J.IOOO. which he selected and then devoted twenty acres of land as a factory site. All the papers, deeds and contracts were transferred and are now locked in the nafe of an Anderson attorney. Anderson Herald. Awful moment. Sublime in Its horrifying aspects. Such was the scene in the court room when James 11. Stone, the awful murderer, was brought before the cou'-t and the indktment against him charging him with the Wratten murder was read to fciü I Clw- üilma. Dur

Baking

ing the reading of that awful charge not a motion or sound of noise was made in that crowded court room. Stone stood there the picture of wretchedness and despair and listened to the awful charge. When done reading Judge Hefron asked In trembling tones: "Are you guilty or not guilty as charged in the indictment." In language that bespoke deep wretchedness and misery the culprit answered in a clear voice. "I am guilty." It was an awful moment and will never le forgotten by the vast crowd .present. Stone's last words here were: "If you were to put a revolver to my brain right now. I could not say anything else than I did the killing myself. No one helped me." He pleaded with his attorney after sentence to save his life, if possible, still claiming he was not In his right mind when he committed the murder. Said also that he got up one night to kill his own family while asleep, but was deterred from the act by stumbling over the trundle bed which awoke him. Washington Democrat. A Charlestown dispatch says the grave of Jonathan Jennings, first governor of Indiana, has finally been located in the old burying ground situated west of that town. J. M. Van Hook of Florida has taken a great deal of interest in locating the grave of Indiana's first governor and has obtained overwhelming evidence in favor of the spot in the old cemetery as the last resting plsce of dovernor Jennings. M. P. Alpha, William Patterson and Mrs. Jane Keys of Charlestown and Col. Harry Daily of Columbus. Ind., all old residents of Charlestown, all agree upon the location and their evidence settles the question be- ond a peradventure. The last session of the legislature appropriated a sum of money to be used to purchase a suitable monument to Governor Jennings's memory, and the following commissioners were appointed by the governor to make and close contracts for the monument: M. B. Cole, Judge G. H. D. Gibson and the Hon. H. F. Work, all of this place. The commissioners have let the contract to John Walsh of Montgomery, Ind., and he has given assurance that the monument will be ready for dedication Dec. 4. Mr. Cole, one of the commissioners, expressed ! the opinion that it was the desire to have the remairs removed to the new cemetery, where a place has been provided. The remains of Governor Jennings huve lain in the present lonely tomb since 1S34. Many attempts have been made to locate his grave, but not until recently have they been successful. As the organ fight at Ingersoll chapel has become quite heated and as we are situated in a position to know, we conclude to give the readers a few facts: To find the sentiment on this question a paper was circulated and an overwhelming majority for the organ was the result. We cannot give the exact .Igures, but they are near 63 for against 11 who oppose it. The organ faction might have been Increased to 70 had all who favored it signed the paper. The organ was left in, the church for trial and at the same time the organttes argued that the organ would not stani between any Christian and his God; while the antl-organltes claim they can not worship God and pray with an organ in the house. Some of the officers gave iermission for the organ and then retracted. The anti-organists were maklag a bitter fight; being in close communication with two preachers of their views. Had not these people received the teachings of one man, the organ would enter without an objection. The organ destroyed was certainly damaged by some one engaged in the light. The organists are saying little, but are working with a determination, as they have a majority. They intend to place an organ in the house regardless of threats. The recent act of destruction has made the organists friends, and people heretofore uninterested wili give them a-ssistance. There are many minor principles in the fight, which show a spirit contrary to the one in Christ, but we pass on and wait for the end. Covington Friend. The following is a summary of field experiments with wheat, fit the agricultural experiment station of Purdue university at Fafayette, Ind.. by Prof. W. C. Latta, agriculturist of the station: Kxperlments covering ten years, with many varieties of wheat, do not indicate any tendency of wheat to deteriorate or "run out" provided proper care Is exercised. Xo wheat has proven "rustproof" here. Bearded and smooth varieties appear to be equally susceptible to rust. Farly wheats are generally less injured by rust than the later kinds. Stinging smut may be easily destroyed, but no remedy for the loose r.mut 'of wheat has been discovered. The preventive of loose smut Is sowing uninfected seed wheat, upon uninfected ground. It pays to sow a liberal quantity of seed eight pecks per acre having given best results at the station. , In this latitude It is better to sow wheat no later than Sept. 20. Mowing wheat in spring to prevent too great rankness of growth has thus far proved tinprofitable. The value of crop rotation, in maintaining yields of grain, has been strongly emphasized. Liberal fertilizers to wheat have not, ss a rule, proved profitable. Applications of fresh horse manure to wheat have generally returned the cost of the manure in the first crop and the improved condition of the soil for future crops adds something more to the credit of the manure. Kxperiments indicate that wheat may be harvested at any time after it reaches the "dough" stage, until "dead" ripe, without affecting, appreciably, the weight or yield of the grain. A duel was fought near Nenpeck. Deer Creek township. Friday afternoon, the particulars of which were given to the Pharos reporter Tuesday. It seems that Robert Campbell and Mat McDonald, two inhabitants of that locality, got into a dispute some time ago over the settlement of an account and parted In bad humor. Friday, upon being told that McDonald had threatened to kill him, Campbell put a revolver in his pocket and "went gunning" for his mortal enemy. McDonald learned that Campbell was looking for him with a gun, and arming himself with a hatchet, began to reconnolter. McDonald opened hostilities. Observing that Campbell was armed with a revolver, he began the attack at long range. Raising the hatchet he hurled it with terrific force at his adversary. Campbell's agility saved his life, for, true to the owner's aim, the weapon sailed through the air and would have struck him full in the face had he not caught the force of the blow on his right arm. The blade of the hatchet cut an ugly gash in his arm. from which the blood flowed freely. .His "revolver fell from his grasp, but he picked It up again, and while McDonald was advancing tired three shots at him in quick succession .After the last shot had been fired McDonald placed his hand on hl3 left breast, shouting at he top of his voice, ."I'm shot! I'm shot!" and fell backward upon the ground. By this time two men who had been at work In an adjoining field arrived upon the scene. McDonald, who still lay prostrate upon the ground, was examined, and upon being told that his hide had not been perforated by any of thv bullets fired by Campbell, opened his eyes. Upon regaining his feet he declared his willingness to bury the hatchet. Campbell consented and they shook hands and parted. -Logansport Pharos.

INDIANA'S FRUIT RAISERS.

SESSION OF THE INDIANA llORTIClLTinAL SOCIETY. Governor MatthrwM Deliver a "Welcoiulne AililrMM That Abound tIUi Interesting Point The PrelIent' A n n an 1 Iteport Condition of the Treasury. The Indiana horticultural society began its annual meeting with a session at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the state house. The attendance was not quite as large as usual, there being a noticeable absence of members living at a distance from the city. There were about forty members present and the meeting started off with a mark of Interest manifested in the discussions which promises a lively meeting during the three days which it will continue. The meeting was opened by an address by Governor Matthews. He spoke as follows: "I do not know that the horticulturists have a patron saint, but they should have one, and, passing back beyond the days when Greek and Roman mythology peopled the woods and hills and valleys with the creatuVes of their fancy and spread the mantle of their poetic imagery over harvest field, orchard and vineyard, you should stretch out your hands and place the crown upon the brow of grand old Moses. "For ever since he sent his agents into the land of Canaan to bring back specimens of the 'fruit of the land' horticulture a3 a means of supiort, an occupation, a luxury, a comfort and a science has teen growing in the minds and the hearts of the people. Another feature in the life of Moses Is like unlo that of the horticulturist. He was a benefactor to his race and yet. after all his labors and sufferings in behalf of his people, he was at last only permitted to end his wanderings on the top of Mt. Nebo, from where he could look beyond the smiling, fertile valleys along the brooks of lschol into that land to be the home of his people. So you often, through the labors of years, reach that point when the results of a cherished success may be denied you and they who follow after gather the fruit and revel in the shade of the tree your hand had planted. "I regret that my study of the subjects to which yon have devoted your lives is not such that I can hope to 'ive you thoughts of great value. Nor do I desire to consume the time in which you, as earnest workers and broad-minded students, have assembled to discuss matters of importance to you. But, as one whose life has been identified with and devoted to agriculture, I have long been an interested observer of your labors, experiments and sucr-.sses. "Indeed, as a former I have often been puzzled, when I turned my eyes from the sunny fields of grain into the restful shadows of the orchard, as to where the line between agriculture and horticulture could le drawn. I do not believe this boundary line could or should be determined, although I fear the common idea i3 that they are separate callings. Before you is a broad, inviting field and in it a splendid mission for horticulture to ierform toward its elder sister, agriculture. I know of no occupation that can so clearly demonstrate the possibilities of the ingenuity of man as yours, and what perfection to which it has been brought is due to you. Through your agency must largely come the added beauty, comfort and, indeed, the profit to the country home. "I wish it were possible to hold your meetings in every countj' of our state, for I believe that in their train would follow improvements devoutly to be wished the correction of errors and false ideas that have too long existed. "Of all our citizens 1 know of none that should have more of lileral education and of broad culture and should or could appreciate it more than the American farmer, and I embrace the horticulturist in this term. No man should bold his head more proudly erect in the midst of men and reverently In the sight of God. I confidently look forward to the day when this higher education will come to him with its depth of thought, breadth of culture and its gentle refinement. You will then see in him the student and worshiper of nature the scientist reasoning from cause to effect, from nature up to God, and applying the acquisitions of science in the prosecution of his labors the lover of art in its truest form, because he brings its elevating influences in and around his home and thus best solves the vexing problem as to how to keep our boys at home on the farm. "Your occupation is a noble one because it will levate and better mankind. I used to be a frequent attendant upon our agricultural meetings, especially of the live stock interest. I never attended one of these but that I carried home with me now, fresh and valuable thoughts. I trust that such may be your experience in :his meeting here today, and in closing p'rmit me to say that I have such faith in your meetings as educators that 1 hope you may conclude to hold them in different sections of our state rather than at one point alone." Following the governor, President C. M. Hobbs read his annual address. The past two years, he said, had been unusually discouraging to fruit-growers throughout the state. He had never known of two consecutive years when the crop was so universally a failure. Even our staple apple did not produce a full crop in any part of the state except a small section of Harrison county last year, and it was a complete failure in that county this year. He thought this was due partly to early frosts and partly to the kind of trees planted. Also due to insects. He thought that if the varieties planted should be chosen with a due regard to their adaptation to the climate, soil and situation friut-raising could be made as reliable as farming. He deplored the fact tbat farmers in general did not pay more attention to the cultivation of fruit and recommended that the society should take some action In regard to the planting of fruit and nut trees along the highways throughout the state. This recommendation was discussed pro and con with considerable animation, and it was finally decided by vote that it was the eense of the society that such a thing should be done by the farmers. The secretary's report dwelt chiefly on his work at the world's fair, where the exhibit of the Indiana horticultural society was all in that line which as exhibited from this state. Experimental stations, he said, were largely superseding the work of such societies as this and would continue to do so more and more. The treasurer's report was as follows: Total receipts for the year, J1.W6.48; disbursements. JCS6.97; balance in treasury, end of fiscal year ending Oct. SI, 1S93, $909.51. During the afternoon a paper entitled, "Edible Fungi A Great Waste Of Vegetable Food ir Indiana," was read by Luden M. Underwood of Greencastle. The meeting of the Indiana horticultural society continued all day Thursday and was well attended, a number of members arriving after the meeting on Wednesday. Several papers were read and discussed with great enthusiasm. The most Interesting, perhaps, was that by Luden M. Underwood of DePauw university, whose subject was "Edible Fungi A Great Waste of Food in Indiana." The paper was full of new and practical ideas and opened before the members of the horticultural society a field of thought and action of which they had probably never dreamed. Indeed, as Trof. Underwood states, the subjects discussed are almost unknown to the entire English speaking race, while the Germans. Italians and French have been conversant with them for ages almost. The Indiana horticultural society

closed Its three-days' session Friday at noon by electing the following officers for the ensuing year: President C. M. Hobbs, Bridgeport. First Vice-President E. Y. Teas, Irvington. Second Vice-President George F. Campbell. Bloomington. Third Vice-President J. P. Applegate, New Albany. Fourth Vice-President, L. J. Noe, Winii i mac. Secretary W. H. Ragan. Greencastle.

Sylvester Johnson was re-elected by the state board of horticulture as trustee of Purdue university. His report to the board stated that notwithstanding the hard times and the detractive influence of the world's fair the attendance at the university has increased about 10 per cent, for the present year. A new mechanical labratory. which is the borgest and best equipped of the kfiid in the country, has been built. The old mechanical labratory has been given over to the department of biology and chemistry. The general work of the exrx-ri-ment station has been constantly growing. A new green-house has been-erect-td for the botanical department and another is contemplated for the horticultural department. In the chemical department of the station the subjects of the :--agar beet as a source of sugar supply in lndiai.a and the influence of fertilizers on wheat and corn have received much attention. Sugar leets have been grown during the past season In about two hundred places over the state under the direction of the station and at no time in the history of the state has so much interest been shown in its cultivation by the people of Indiana.
