SKNTINKI. INTERVIEWS OGLKSBKK. 1 . i e u t . Oarlssfcsai Doaan'l lake iuh stork in the Complaints Made. The Indianapolis Sentinel of Tuesday contained the following interview with Lieutenant Oglesbee: Much has been said by members of the Indiana signal corps in the way of criticism of ('apt. Mclntyre. It has been alleged that he suppressed petitions to be mustered out and then grew very angry when such petitions were forwarded over hi head, after which, the claim has been made, he imposed many hardships on the m- mbers of the corps. Monday Lieut. ( glesbee of the corps was asked for a statement as to these charges. He was asked particularly as to the charge that men were kept on guard twenty-four hours at a time and then placed at worK policing the camp without rest . He said: "There is srch a slight basis of truth in the statements that have been attributed to members of the Fourteenth signal company concerning its otlicers that they are hardly worthy of attention. 1 was never connected with this company until two or three days prior to its departure from Jacksonville and my connection since then has bee . simply nominal. I have earned, however, that Capt. Mclntyre has betQ charged with unfair treatment of his men, especially since they made application for discharge from the the service. '1 have taken pains to examine the duty roster kept by the first sergeant of the company, in which there is shown every hour of duty perforned by any member of the company, and this roster shows that the details for duty were made from the beginning to the end sntly in accordance with the printed regulations that have prevailed in the United States army for more than a third of a century. The fact is, as I believe, that charges of unfairness such as are referred to are made only by a few members of the company who, by leason of their own misconduct, have been subjected to discipline. My connection with the company has been so brief that I am not personally acquainted with the men and do not know how to distinguish between those who have carefully performed their duty and those who have been inclined to shirk, but as far as 1 am acquainted 1 know that the former are making no complaints. "So far as I am able to judge Capt. Mclntyre has been actuated by a desire to be exactly just to his men and 1 know of at least several instances in which he has performed favor9 within the last few days for men who have within his knowledge been very unjust and unfair to him."

151. On H ridge Narrowly Escapes the Flames. Tuesday noon Dr. ,1. V. Wilson and Street Commissioner .lames Brink passed by the Blain bridge just in time to save that structure from conllagra tion. Quite a Maine was started and eating madly away at the dry beams and Hoor.ng. It is doubtful whether Mr. Brink and Dr. Smith deserve a hearty thanks for saving the bridge, but they have proven themselves worthy firemen well deserving to enter the ranks of the Plymouth Hose company. It has been supposed that the tire started from a lighted cigar or cigarette whic 1 some of the boys who fish there might have carelessly left The idea of incendiarism is shunned. Prize Fight at Kohy. It is reported that arrangements have been made to pull off the coming tight between "Kid" McCoy and James .1 . Corbett in the famous arena at Koby, Ind. Dan Stuart, Considine and other promoters since the Hawthorne 2lub fiasco in the east have been in close consultation with western sporting men with the view of fixing upon some place near Chicago for the event. Koby, just across the Indiana line, and Ideal park, just across the Wisconsin line, have been discussed. Koby presents many advantages over the other place and has practically been decided upon. It is believed that the authorities will not interfere as Gov. Mount has stated he could do nothing to suppress Koby without the local authorities took the initiative and tbey seem indifferent over the matter. A ('onTerenee Incident. The U . IL conference held at South W hitley last week was very fully reported by the publishers of the South W hitley News ami was very creditably done as well. From the issue of Friday last we clip the following reference to a thrilling passage in the preceedingH that speaks for itself - Seven minutes for testimony! Just think of it! But the climax of the service was reue hed when Mrs. He v. 11. J.

Barrett sang "Life's Bailway to Heaven." We cannot write so that you may understand the beauty of this song. Nor cau we make known to you the wonderful effect upon the great audience. 'Tis seldom the wt iter's emotion gets the better of nun but with the throng he was swept away.

A Walkertoii sensation, Laporte Argus: Friday afternoon the family of Ira Neville, who resides about a mile from Walkertan, all left home except one daughter, Lillie, and as she was sitting at the organ playing, somebody shot through the door at her back and the bullet passed within 2j4 inches of her head. Whether it was done with intent to kill is not at present known, but such is supposed to be the case. Last Tuesday evening as she was coming home from town accompanied by her mother and two small brothers, somebody shot from behind a bU6h by the roadside and she had a narrow escape that time, as the bullet passed within a few inches of her face. A Lecture Fourse. There is a movement on foot to secure a course of entertainments, consisting ot the Lyric Ladies of Chicago; Speda, the artist entertainer; Slaytou's Jubilee Miigere; Mario, the magician, and Col. Copeland live entertainments in all. The price will be 81.80 for season ticket, It will be impossible for the promoters to call on everyone, 90 those desiring to promote this worthy undertaking will call at the First National bank and subscribe. Last year four entertainments were given, but this year there will be five entertainments for the same price. r hliwh,p Keane Preached. The opening sermon of the scholastic year at Notre Dame university was delivered in the University church Sun uay morning by Archbishop Keane, representative of the American hierarchy at the political court. The life of St. Paul was the theme. Fapecial attention was paid to his youthful occupations, and the enthusiasm with which the great apostle entered into everything he uudertook. Analogies between him and the American youth of today were frequent and instructive. During his discouroe the archbishop paid an eloquent tribute to the valor and moral courage of our soldiers and sailors in the late war. Still Have a Chanee. Those Indiana soldiers who are lamenting the prospect that their army life will be cut off by the order to muster out need not despair. Capt. Black, the local recruiting officer of the regular army at Indianapolis, proposes to afford them a smooth pathway into the regular service. He visiter1 Camp Mount Tuesday and explained to the two colonels there that all of their men that wished to do so may enter the United States regular service when they are mustered out of the volunteer service. A l'leasaut Oeeasion. An ice cream lunchion was served in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Anderson Monday night at the residence of C.Firestone. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson will leave tomorrow for San Antonio, Mexico. About forty guests were present. An agreeable surprise in store for all was when the Plymouth band made its appearance. A delightful concert was enjoyed. Near the hour of midnight the company dispersed. Col. Mudehaker Has Malarial Fever Col. George M. Studebaker, of the 157th Indiana infantry, who is home on a o0 days' furlough, is ill with malarial fever. Dr. F. M. Sawyer is attending him and he is under the care of a trained nurse. When he first returned from 1 tiHiu tto nnliu hn uuuiiuwl n 1 1 i t A U7ia 1 1 liit the fever was evidently in him and he has ueen bedfast since Friday of last week and is quite nervous. Most Have Absolute Quiet. Governor Mount has gne to his country home near Crawfordsville, and unless his condition improves rapidly he will remain there next week. His physician insists that he shall hava absolute rest tor a few days, and it was found i.n possible to get it as long as he remained in Indianapolis. Ml-- WillclnH First Qpajj Fietnres. The first portrates taken of Mary F. Wilkins which she has ever liked will be printed in the October Ladies' Home Journal. There will be nine of them, and they will show the famous New England story teller at home and with her friends around her.

PrtVntS Patritlm ot the l.-7tli Indiana ProbaMv Murdered. Ft. Wayne, Sept. 22. -Fvidence is coming to light which may prove that Private Lafayette Perkins of the 107th, who was supposed to have been run over by a Kindlay A: W estern passenger train the night of Sept. 13 and killed by the cars, was not so killed. Fvidence before the coroner is to the effect that the body was cold when the trainmen reached it immediately after the train ran over it. Perkins was paid oil at Indianapolis just before he came home and had spent no money here. There was not a penny on the body when found. The police are working on the theory of murder todav. deny I I in is Injured.

tlicted. He fell sideways, striking on his head and shoulders. No bones are thought to be broken. The injuries are the result of the jolt upon th spine. Today noon he was still delerious but showed so:ue signs of rapid recovery, it is hoped that his accident may not lead him to a long coniluement. Obituary. Jacob Rothenberger was born in the Canton Zurich, Switzerland, March 11, 1830. In his ninth year he came with his christian parents to the United states a'id settled in O do. Three years later the family moved to Carroll county, this state, where he spent six years. He lived in different places in Central Indiana, but came to Lapaz in lsv"), and there resided until the angel of death claimed him Sunday morning, Sept. 18, 1SÜ8. Feb. 3, 18"7, he was married to Rachel Smiley, who died April 5, 187'i. He was married the second time Jan. 11, 1877, to Kmma Dorch. This union was blessed with two daughters, Ida Viola, who preceeded her father into eternity, and Sophia May, who survives him. He began teaching while quite young, having feceived a liberal education at Franklin college. For thirty years he was in the school room. He was a greaf reader and was at home except in history. He was well known in Northern Indiana, especially in Marshall and St. Joseph counties. He took a warm interest in all that pertained to the upbuilding and extension of church work, and gladly and faithfully did he discharge tue duties of the various olllces to which he had been chosen. In his death the Brethren church loses a faithful worker, North Township Sun day school association its honored president, and Lapaz a noble citizen. No more heartaches, no more sorrow. Mr. Rothenberger is now at rest after lighting so many years under the banner of Jesus Christ. He has entered that "Paradise of joy. Where tears are ever hanishod And smiles have no alloy; Whose ageless walls arc handed Willi amethyst uiiprit ed, Where saints make up the fahrte And the eorner stone is Christ. His days on earth numbered 68 years, ) months and 7 days. The funeral service was held in the Brethren church and was attended by a large gathering of sorrowing friends. Rev. Summers, of North Manchester, outdated. Against Hoard of Kdueation. The Northwest Indiana conference, which adjourned recently at Plymouth, passed the following resolutions relating to the State Board of Fducation: "Resolved, That we request of the legislature that the present unfair and uniust law by winch the State School board is constituted be repealed, and that arrangements be made to elect the State School board by the legislature or by the people direct. "Resolved, That we request that all candidates for state school license shall

be examined by the state board without discrimination in favor of any institution. "Resolved, That a committee of one from this conference be appointed to act with a like committee from each of the other conferences in the state, to present these resolutions to the legislature, and use every honorable means to secure legislation in harmony with these resolutions." Rev. 11. N. Ogden was appointed the committee provided for in the above resolution. Room from s tnt lni;i(. Herman A. Seyferth, of the First cavalry regulars under Gen. Wheeler, stopped in our city Wednesday on his way to hiß home in Culver. Mr. Seyferth was termed a scouting artist. A scouting artist is a scout who goes before the army and maps oil the country. It is readily eeen that the position is uncertain and dangerous. Mr. Seyferth relates some adventures that would stand at par with those of Capt. Cook or the intrepid Jesse James. At Santiago, during the engagement on

tu: June 24, he had his canteen shot from nis side, but he remained unharmed His companions fell by hundreds around him. Once he crawled so close to the enemy's lines that he heard distinctly a conversation between two sentinels who talked in a low tone because it is a violation of military law to talk at all. How he gave them the slip and obtained valuable information makes an intensely interesting story. Foot Hall Kleven Organized. Wednesday evening the foot bah team met and completed their organization. Lou Aliman was elected business manager and Art J ones, captain . With two such men at its head and even a moderate support from our citi zens the success of the team is insured. Art Jones has made a scientific study of the game and will make a good coach as well as captain. The boys expect to practise nightly. A good game may be expected here next Thanksgiving dy. It is rumored that even at the early date of one week from next Thursday a match will be arranged with Culver. Should such a possibility develop into a fact, it is certain that we need expect only victory from men like the following: Art Jones, r h 0; Albertus Simons, 1 h b; Art O'Keefe, f b; Otto Albert, center; Ward Logan, q b: Ray Bunnell, I g; Howard Jackson, r g; Öol Miller, 1 t; Geo. lloham, r t; Austin Milliman, 1 e; Art Underwood, r e. I'opulist Convention. The Populists ot the 13th congressional district met in convention at the Democratic club room in this city yesterday and organized by selecting C. 11. Hackman, of Flkhart county, as chairman, and James Reeve, of this city, secretary. A committee on resolutions was ap pointed consisting of John S. Bender, Plymouth; B. F. Rhinehart, t. Joseph county; H. A. Wiley, Pulaski county; Win. Yanalstine, Flkhart couuty; and A. I). Grindle, Starke county. At the time of going to press a motion was being discussed favorable to leaving the nomination for congress blank. The motion will probably carry . Hear Senator Turpi". The democrats of this county should bear in mind the fact that Senator Turpie will speak in Plymouth on Wednesday, Sept. 28th, and every democrat who can should turn out to bear him. Senator Turpie is recognized everywhere as one of the ablest men now in public life and he has always been a favorite with Marshall county democrats. They should give him a rousing reception next Wednesday I ven if it is a busy time of the ye r for the fanners they can afford one evening to hear as able a man as the senator discuss the issues now before the people in this campaign, and they should willingly sacrifice a little far such an opportunity.
