Are Very Short on Preachers and Teachers. Indianapolis, Ind., August 5. At the meeting of the middle district of the Missouri sjmod of the German Evangelical Lutheran church, held at the Lutheran church at Ohio and East streets, a committee was appointed to investigate the sanitarium for consumptives in Denver with a view to establishing a similar institution in this synod, in which the States of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky are included. The Rev. C. C. Schmidt, president of the Missouri synod, said in his report that there is a great scarcity of German ministers and teachers. "With 145 calls for ministers in the church there were only seventy candidates. With seventy demands for teachers in the parochial schools there were only twenty-seven candidates. This is explained by the fact that it requires nine years of preparation for the ministers and just nine years ago there were such hard times that the young men did not attend school. Of F.

Grubbs Company, Mr. Grubbs being at that time the editor of the Palladium.

Poundstone, and other 1 members of Mr. Grubbs' family after the death of the former, 'f Uncle Bob" was one of that type of old family retainers becoming rarer every day in this country, and in addition to his picturesqueness, had a certain historic interest hi being a survival of the "days before the war."
