It en mo n Given for the Murder of Dr. ConUlIn of Ca sso pol in. ELKHART. Sept 5. Special. The village of Casisopolia, north of this city, is exdteü over the strange disappearance of Dr. W. A. Conklin. the beli-ef being that be has been, foully murdered. Dr. Conklin was called from his home at midnight Sunday to answer a sick call, since which tim? he has not been seen. He was the leading witness for the state In a murder case and his disappearance and probably untimely fate are attributed to his connection, with the trial. A thorough investigation will be m-ade. ELKHART, Ind., Sept. 6. Special. The mystery surrounding the sudden disappearance of Dr. A. B. Conklin, the Cassopolis physician, grows more intricate as time elapses. The case for which he was a witness was the Butler insurance affair. It seems that Mary L. and Charles J. Shackett of Bay City, Mich., had the life of Michael Butler of Elk Rapids insured for $1,000 in the People's mutual benefit association of this city In 1S7, Shortly afterward Butler died. The Shackett claimed the Insurance money from tho association. They refused to liquidate and contested the cae on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation both as to Butler's as? anil health. Dr. Conklin waa at that tlmg a resident of

Elk Rapids and knew Butler well, having attended him at different times. It 13 stated that Conklin's testimonywould have been damaging to the Shackttts; in fact, so much so, that they would probably have S'-cn a term in the penitentiary. Attorney Smith was to have taken his deposition Monday, the nieht befolg he disappeared. This is thought to be the cause of his disappearance. Two strange men called him from his home Sunday evening and about 10 o'clock cries were heard near Stone lake, as if some one was in deep 'distress. Fearing that he had been kill-! and thrown into the the' lake It was dragged yesterday in the hopes of finding his body. All efforts were in vain. The- entile city is wild with excitement. Mrs. Conklin is nearly dead with gi ief over her husband's disappearance. It i a case that certainly outrivals the famous Cronin case. The best detective talent has been engaged to unravel if possible tuis sensational mystery. TRIXITY CIIIHCII COFEHECn. A Very Interesting Meeting Olticem Eleeted. LAFAYETTE, Sept. 5. Special.

There was no discussion as to the elates, but the matter of choosing places was not so easily disposed of until it was suggested by Chairman Taggart that the largest town in each district be agreed upon. This would be the best means of reaching the largest numbers In the several districts and was agreeable to both chairmen. It was agreed that each speaker should have an hour and a quarter, the first speaker being allowed an hour to open and a quarter of an hour to close, and the second speaker an hour and a quarter. It was also agreed that the first discussion should be held in the First district, and from there the other districts would be visited in their numerical order. Mr. Taggart conceded to Mr. Gowdy the choice in the First district as to whether his man should open or not, and it was agreed that thereafter the opening and closing speeches should alternate. This privilege in the odd district, the Thirteen;h, was. however, decided upon by lot and fell to the democratic candidate. To tff? district committees was left the decision as to whether the meetings should be held in the afternoon or evening, the republican committee deciding in the districts where Mr. Owen opens and the democratic committee In districts where Mr. Myers opens.

TERRE HAUTE, Sept. 9. Special. A huge sensation was caused today by the making public of the list of m:nbei --00; of the A. P. A. lodge here. a:.d .ts a nFult some well knoAii Terre Hauteans. who have been vigorously di-nying that they ever belonged to th? p:-os.np.ive order are in a great stew. The sensation was sprung by the republican secretary and treasurer of the loeil lodge, the son of a distinguished citizen of national renown, who g?ttmg into a row with the other otVieers over the disposition of the funds furnished the original records of the lodge to Thomas W. Harper, who had the list copied nml typewritten copies of the memb s alphabetically arranged. They cannot be handed out fast enough. There were something m.,re thin 4eo nain.-s on the list and all but a few of Hum are republicans, some of them weil-kr.o .vn business men. All but thiee or four of the republican county and town.-hlp c.ndidates are members, sustaining the frequent charge that the r-jemt republican convention was controlled by the A. P. A. The order is v.-ry unpopular here and there is already a demand for the withdrawal of the ringleaders fio.n the ticket. The list of members was seccre i largely because of the fisht on G.anl Secretary and Trea.-ur"' Frank W. Arnold of the Brotherhood of 1 -mot'vc-firemen of this city, who was Eugene V. Debs's successor in that p isition. The fight against Arn .Id in the Harris'mrg national convention of th- frcm.-n r.ext week will be led by one of the delcj'-au from Terre Haute, win is very bitteagainst Arnold, alleging that he is t o friendly with Debs 1 continue an officer of the firemen organization. Arnold's friends, through llaip:r, 1 rocurod the list of members from Iii A. P. A. official referred to. who did not ne.-J much persuasion owing tu h.s own grievance, and It shows that Arnold's chief opponent, who is leading tiie lighi on him, is a leader of the order here. Affidavits to that effect have been s-nt on to Harrisburg and will be used anionthose delegates who are catholics to showthat the opjiositon to Arnold Is from A. P. A. inlliienee. Terre Haute, as a consequence, is enjoying tonight the biggest sensation it has had in sone years. GREAT DAY FOR DEMOCRATS. Governor MutthewN and ConurexKiiiii 11 Ily 11 ti tu Sjicuk. ANDERSON.

To the Editor Sir: The republican' have opened th-- campaign on figures. In the few speeches already mad? they nave given to the people enough of wild and foolish falsehoods to damn any partyIll the minds of those who still have a regard for truth. A republican -an prove any thine with figures If you will let him make the figures They do not consult published statistics, but determine the result wanted and make sta'i 1st ics of their own. John B. Cheadle made a rj-eech at Elnora. Ind.. S. f t. 3. AcvordhiT to El? Indlan.ipoli. Journal of yesterday he said, amontf other thintrs: "The-re was consumed by tne worl 1 las: year 6.roti.ooo,oo tons of "sugar, nf this amount Americans consumed l.I'rtO.OoO.oen'. tons, almost one-third of the amount." One- bl!li"n rdne ldindn-d million tons cf sugar equal 3,0'.0 'O.f.iiO.liw) pounds. This will give each person In the Cnited States about ',o.0C" p oinds of sugar each year. CJ r eat figure? fhese! Thlslsahviit as near as the average republican speak tr gts to the truth. In the same -peech he says: "A law that legislates out of existence $4",0l0m of Invested capital and reduces the value of the wool ciip not less than $20.,000,01)0 a year is not only a dear law, but a very expensive one, notwithstanding it makes an apparent annual reduction Of JlN.-iL'S.SV.) of taxes." This right after Owen's sjevh at Greencastle in which he said: "The senate bill, by the action of the president, has lost to the farmer Jb'O.i.M'J.Out) on his wool and sheep this year."
