Indianapolis, May IS. With the incorporation of the Ohio Electric Railway company at Columbus, O., it was
announced that various Schoepf syndicate interurbdh properties were to be merged into one general corporation. The capital of the new company is given at $100,000. but this is merely a nominal figure, and it will later be increased to $10,000,000 or $13,000,000. Reports from financial centers indicate that a similar merger of all the
Indiana traction properties with the exception of the lines to Rushville, Shelbyville and Columbus, may be expected and that an interstate merger of all the Schoepf-McGowan properties
in Ohio and Indiana will follow. The Indiana merger will include, according to reports, the lines of five
seperate systems. The only lines not
to be included are those of the India
napolis & Cincinnati I ractlon com
pany, known as the Henry lines, and the line to Columbus, owned by the Irwins. The Indiana Union Traction company, of Fort Wayne and Wabash Valley Traction company, the Northern Indiana Traction company and the lines out of Evansville are supposed to merge with the McGowan lines included under the management of the Terre Haite, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company, which was incorporated recently as a holding company
for all the syndicate lines entering In
dianapolis. Great Central Company. It is said that the great central hold
ing company to Include all the syndicate lines of Indiana and Ohio will
have a capital of between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000, and will control more
than 2,000 miles of first-class and high
speed interurban traction lines. It Is not known whether Mr. McGowan or Mr. Schoepf will head the company. Each will be supreme in his own
state.
The McGowan people in Indiana and
the Schoepf people in Ohio have for years been acquiring by outright pur
chase, by lease and also by construction a large number of individual traction properties. The intention of each group has been to amalgamate the
lines of each state into a big corporation with the ultimate intention, it
has been thought, of consolidating the
two big state corporations into a gi
gantic holding company.

"Here," she said, is the soap that

"Yes, I know what you are going t say," broke in the irate wife. "All the same, I have been scrubbing three mor tal hours with that lamp, and I raigh as well have used a brick for all tin lather I could get out of it." And she stopped, out of breath. "But, my dear madam," said the grocer calmly, "your husband came ia here jesterday and bought half s pound of soap and half a pound of cheese. This isn't the soap; this is the cheese." "The cheese!" exclaimed the young wife. "The cheese! Then that accounts for the other thing." "What other thing, madam?" "Why, the Welsh rarebit No wonder it had such a queer taste!" A prise of $100 was paid for the foregoing anecdote to N. L. G. Anderson, Jenningston, W. Va.

The Dog's Disposition.' The superintendent of streets in Cleveland recently summoned to his presence an officer, to whom he said: "It is reported to me that there is a dead dog In Horner street. I want you to see to Its disposition." "Yis, sor," said the subordinate, who immediately set out upon his mission. In half an hour the officer telephoned his chief as follows: "I have made inquiries about the dog's disposition, and I find that it was a savage one." Lippincott's. Seneca on Endurance. There can be no easy proof of virtue. Fortune lashes and mangles us. Well, let us endure it. It ia not cruelty. It is a struggle, in which the oftener we engage the braver we shall become. The strongest part of the body is that which is exercised by the most frequent use. We must intrust ourselves to fortune to be hardened by her against herself. By degrees she will make us a match for herself. Familiarity with danger -leads- us to despise it. Thus ,thetbodies of ;sailors are hardened, by endurance of the sea, and the hands of farmers by work; the arms of soldiers are-powerful to hurl darts; the logs of runners are active. Tkat part of each man which h exercises is the strongest So by endurance the mind becomesable to despise the power of misfortunes.

HtrULbtU UrHltHo William Linn Did Not Want to Come to Easthaven And Resisted.
BEHIND LOCKED DOORS. LINN WAS DRIVEN INSANE BY AN ACCIDENT HE IS A FARMER AND IS SAID TO BE WORTH $25,000.
Bluff ton, Ind.. May IS. When Sheriff Lipkey and Marshall From Carlisle went to the home of William Linn, south of the city to bring him to tho county jail preparatory to taking him to the asylum at Richmond they found the old gentleman entrenched behind the locked doors of an upstairs room of an outbuilding, and he refused to admit them. It was necessary for them to I urst open tho door with an ax, and as tho sheriff stepped into tho room Linn struck at him savagely with a bar of iron, and the marshal received a kick on the shins. They had to overpower Linn and haul him to town handcuffed and he had to be held at the jail whilo a physician was vaccinating him. This morning he was in a better mood and proceeded with the sheriff to Richmond without being handcuffed. Linn is a wealthy farmer, owning real estate to the value of about $25,000. His demented condition is thought to have, resulted from an injury caused by a corn shredder, in which he had an arm torn off two years ago. There was a legal battle over his case in court before he was committed to the asylum.
