' William Waldorf Astor, self expatriated , American and credited with being in line .for the British peerage as Lord Cliveden,-has condescended in a recent 'interview to give his formula for getting rich. According to Mr. Astor, a man can always save money,, no matter how small his earnings may be, provided he can exercise necessary self-denial and keep . clear', of two things rum and tobacco. . , Mr. Astor undoubtedly deserves great- credit for having discovered such an important and lytherto unknown formula. Furthermore Mr. As'ior's task wan tendered all the harder by the fact that he is neither a teetotaler nor a non-sihoker. Not only that, but the magnitude of the difficulties confronting this modern Columbus- discovering- the- way-to-richdom may bo seen better when it is considered that Mr. Astor was born with a golden spoon in his mouth he inherited over $400,000,000 from his father and never in his life has known what it means to work or starve. 0. DEPEW FLINCliito. A Washington dispatch states that within the last two weeks Senator Depew has made three trips from New York to Washington with the view of returning to his seat in the Senate, 'but on his arrival each time he has shrunk from appearing in the Senate 'Chamber and has gone back to his New York home. This sudden and shrinking jnaiden-like modesty on the part of the genial Senator is never known to have flinched when lie looked into the jaws of his annual $20,000 Equitable retainer. . . o THE EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE. The meeting in Indianapolis of practically all the. Episcopal bishops of that great'sectlon of the country known as the middle West is an event of more than ordinary importance. The following bishops are expected to 'attend the coufereneei Vincent, of southern Ohio; Leonard, of Michigan City; Williams, of Marquette; Seymour and Osborne, of Springfield; Fawcett, of Quincy; An derson, of Chicago, and Grafton and Weller, of Fond du Lac. Dr. McCormiek, who has just ' been elected bishop-coadjutor of western Miehitrue that the subjects discussed will bo of more interest to Episcopalians than to any other people, they nevertheless bear directly on the import ant problem of bringing Christianity into more vital contact with the life of our time. Church extension is the principal theme for consideration, and the extension of the power and influence of any church that stands for the old fnifh ia n mnlfon in which all should be interested. For we are coming , to see that there is a great work in this country for all churches to do, a work in which each church, can have its part without interfering with the work of the others. It is not a question of

proselyting, for there are all over the country- thousands on thousands of people .'who haveno church connection, people who have little ot no relation to organized Christianity in any form. It is to- these that the missionaries of all churches are now chiefly" addressing themselves. Even in Indianapolis with its many ehurches, there are vast numbers of people who are merely nominal Christians. Their church connection is of the slightest is hardly recognized or admitted .even by themselves. So the work of church extension (which is to be considered by the conference now meeting in Indianapolis) is one of importance. As far as the Episcopal church is concerned, it has long felt the. need for greater unity of aetion in its own organization. So, many of its leading men are beginning to feel the need for an executive head. The church has a supreme legislative body, the General Convention; but this meets but once in three years. There is, to be sure, a presiding bishop, but he is not a presiding bishop of the church, but only of the General ' Convention, and he has small power, and no control of any sort. Each bishop is independent in his diocese, and there has been little co-operation- among the dioceses. Feeling the need for closer organization, the General Convention, which

met iri Boston more than a year ago, divided the country into missionary districts, and provided for conferences to be held in those districts. The present conference is of the Fifth district, including the State of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. It may be that out of this creation of missionary districts wrill in time grow a provincial system in which the diocese will be grouped together, with an archbishop or presiding bishop at the head of each group. But we now content ourselves with welcoming to Indianapolis the distinguished leaders of the Episcopal church. The church which they represent is not strong in Indianapolis or Indiana, but, nevertheless, it exerts an influence on the religious life and thought of our people which is felt by many who belong to other communions. And, as we have said, there is a large opportunity for growth without in any way' weakening other churches. All - Christians will, we -feel sure, rejoice at the many signs of an awakened zeal and a greater missionary activity on the part of a church which has done so much for this country of ours, and which stands so steadfastly for the srreat American doctrine of a free church in a free state. . -Indianapolis News. , To the Republican Voters of Wayne Connty. - ...I desire hereby to formally . solicit yonr snpport of my candidacy for the nomination for Prosecuting Attorney, and take this method of addressing you personally, as the demand upon my time are such that I cannot, in justice to them, make a personal canvas.. There is but one ground upon which, I request such nomination, and that upon such work as I have done as your officer, and to which I am committed to follow. My course and -policy simply being to use and lend my every effort, openly and above-board in behalf of a rigid enforcement of the law. If such course and policy . meet your approval, I ask your support; if not, neither in justice to you nor to myself should I receive it. Believing that in such a position as I have stated above, I have but recited the desire of the great majority of the Wayne County citizenship, and trusting to the consideration of each voter, I. remain, Very truly yours; WILFRED JESSUP Richmond, Ind., Jan. 22, 1906. ART EXHIBIT CLOSES Milton Had a Successf nl Picture Show This Year A Purchasing Fund. Milton, Ind., Jan. 22. The art exhibit at the schol chapel, which closed Saturday night, was a rare treat to the people of the community and of incalculable value in an educational, way, both to pupils and patrons. Two hundred pieces of art, both ancient and modern pictures, were shown. The net proceeds of the exhibit will bo used to buy pictures for the schoolrooms. There is a group of good pictures already to form the nucleus for the larger col lection. A picture done by Bundy, lone of his wodland scenes, is the

choice picture of the already ' acquired .collection. . osi Near one hundred ajid sixty people partook of an elegant chicken dinner at Kinsey's hall last Tuesday evening. An informal program of music by the orchestra and piano solos by Misses Alice Beeson, Nellie Jones, Verne Bragg, a duet by Misses Nora Mann and Ruby Moore and recitations by the young people, added to the social features of the -' affair, which was given by the ladies of the

Christian church. " ' -. ! John W. Ferguson has deeded a tract of land south of Valley Grove church, for cemetery purposes to Valley Grove . Cemetery Association. Jacob Wise and Ross Cramer, who have been seriously ill, are both better. - .-; M .; Mrs. Martha Johnson Newman died at "1:30 Friday morning after, a long illness. She was the widow of Granville S. Newman, and mother of Eleanor Newman of the Cambridge City schools, and Albert J. Newman of Milton. She was aged sixtythree. 'In early life' she ' taught school, in which profession she was eminently succesful. . For twentyfive years she has been a member of the Carey Club, serving for a time as president. She was of high literary attainments and familiar with the works of standard authors. The funeral will be held from the Christian church, of -which she was long a member, Sunday afternoon. Interment at Westside cemetery. Ludwig Knauf, an old German citizen, died suddenly Friday morning about two o'clock. lie had been about town the day previous in usual health. His death was preceded by a spell of coughing. He leaves a wife and four children. He was a soldier of the Union army in the Civil war, in the 108th Ohio Infantry. Harvey Eikenberry, aged 75, died at a sanitarium at Indianapolis Thursday at eleven o 'clock. He was of a prominent family in Preble county, Ohio. His active business life was spent at Wabash, where he was very successful in his financial affairs. He never married. Since retirement from active business life, he spent much time at the lakes and other resorts with frequent visits to his kinsmen. Mrs. I. F.

SPORT ON LONG ISLAND. The preat' South Bay is a big sheet of 'water, but the water is all on the top? and over mneh of its expanse a i boat drawing more than a few inches will stick fast, in the mud; so it comes to pass that the craft in, use are usually big cabin catboats, broad of beam and shallow of hull, capable like the late President Lincoln gun boats, of going wherever the ground is the least damn. Fine shooting togs are entirely

thrown away in this sport. The only a short distance in front of man who .knows how, when he is them. ' Their search ; was ; in vain, equipped for business, usually looks however, and after hours of wanderlike the late lamented Captain Kidd ing, they finally managed to regain after he had been away on a two the trail, and continued on their

years' cruise; but you remark, if you are fresh from the city, that the worse the clothes the better theman. You have , replaced the well-cut clothing of Fifth avenue and the little buttoned shoes of the same dainty thoroughfare by roueh sweaters and gum boots. But you have also left behind the narrow-chested pas- , . , -.- , j i n t gieat, sturdy, broad-shouldered, ' ' 7 ' clear-eyed baymen. So, after ail, there is something to be thankful for. ; . ' ' . At Blue Point, the justly famous Captain Will Graham holds court. Not to know Captain Graham is to argue yourself unknown. His headquarters are at Anchorage, and, when anchored, there is not the slightest danger of your ground tac-

le dragging, nor of anything htp-at tractive to Mr. Seaton, and he nevpening to you, because you are in a er . returned to California. His very safe and comfortable roadstead, brother sold out his property for him Further on, at East Quogue, E. A. and also came back. Jackson, a prince among baymen, v Mr. Seaton says that 100.000 peohas lived for many a long year. Jaek- pies crossed the plain? the same sumson is an all-round sportsman, a good mer that he did. Mr. Jerry Meek, shot and a good fellow, C. A. Bram- another old resident of this city, was ble in Recreation, for January. also a member of the party.

RECOLLECTIONS OF RUSH FOR GOLD

JAMES SEATON TELLS OF TRIP TO WEST IN THE EARLY FIFTIES. A PARTY OF TEH MEN Left Centerville Via Ohio River for "Yellow" Field Few Got Rich. Recollections of the past are always interesting, and a jump of fifty six years, from 1906 to 1850, carrying one as it does from the cold matter of 'fact commercial life of today with its modern conveniences of mile-a-minute trains, telephones, telesrarm lines and mammoth steamT7 J. ships, to the days of travel b3' slow going sailing vessels, stage coaches, and river barges, is bound to be an interesting story. In 1S50 Wayne county was aglow with gold fever, due to the discovery of gold in California the year before. Stories of the riches to be gotten in that golden land had fired the blood of, everyone to a high degree. A little party of Centerville men determined to cross the plains and try to obtain some of this golden hoard about which so many fabulous stories were told. In the party was James A. Seaton, at that time a lad of eighteen, now one of Richmond's oldest and most respected citizens. :Tnvino I pntprn a in - thp snnnr of 1S50 this little party of eight or ten men made their way via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to St. Louis, and from there by way of. the Missouri river to St. Joseph. Here they bought - their supplies, wagons, prairie schoners horses, cattle and arms. 'Every man carried a rifle for at that time travelers across the- plains were often molested by the Indians. Shortly after having completed their" equipment and when they were I aboxit ready 'to start on . their . long uvney, they were surprised to meet a Rhmond man in St. Joseph. This man "formed theto that he was one or a party or rnenmonoers wnien was also on its way to the gold fields, j and that they were encamped on the river a few miles above St. Joseph. ne xiiv lieu iiiv v.f mei me men He : ii- a 4. m to cuiiiuiiieu uuu Muncu wi men iouir overland trip. The journey was, for the most part, uneventful and althous-h several bands of Indians were -encountered, no trouble was experienced ' from them. Game was surprisingly scarce. Only two antelope were j killed during the entire trip and no Buffalo, though several were seen. The only ' severity endured throughout tne inp was wnen tuc party -was crossing the Nevada deseru. Their sufferings ' from thirt were frightful even though they traveled chiefly in the cool of the evening. .At one time they left the trail due to a mirage hours and vainly endeavored for to reach a river lined with trees, which they imagined they saw way. . . . ... After crossing the desert they had no more difficulty and reached Sacramento safely. From there they went to the gold camps some fifty miles out of the city and started to work with pick and shovel to carve their fortunes from the golden soil.

Mr. Seaton, however, stayed there for four years and at last, being a little to the good, decided to return home for a visit.
