RENSSELAER AND MUNCIE ARE ASKING FOR THE MEETING IN 1908 HIGH 8CHOOL GIRLS ARE HOWN AN HONOR.
Local members of the D. A. R. are reading with Interest of the annual (invention In progress at Bloorningten, Ind. A dispatch Irom that city lays: In honor of Mrs. Charles Warren Hrbanks, wife of the vice president Of the United States, and the state officers of the Daughters of the American Revolution a brilliant reception was given Wednesday night at the beautiful home of Senator and Mrs. Henry C. Duncan. Over four hundred persons were present, which included all the local chapter and a number of representative citizens of the city. The reception was in the charge of the state conference committee, composed of Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. John T. Tourner, Mrs. Harriet Hughes and Mrs. Otto Rott. It was the social feature of the convention and afforded the townspeople an opportunity of making the acquaintance of Mrs. Fairbanks and the state D. A. R. officers. New Chapters Organized. When the business session was opened Mrs. William A. Guthrie of Indianapolis, state regent, made her report, which showed that since the meeting at Madison last year there has been four new chapters organized, as follows: John Wallace Chapter, Bedford; Lone Tree Chapter, Greensburg; Indianapolis City Chapter, Indianapolis and the Donald Chapter, Edinburg. The regent spoke in glowing terms of the growth of the society and the enthusiasm of its members. The thorough review of the sixteenth continental conference, given by Mrs. W. M. Gaar, was one of the best things of the forenoon session. Speaking of the big meeting of the society at Washington city last spring she told of the delightful reception of the D. A. R. by President Roosevelt and wife. High School Girls Guests. Two of the most interesting visitors at the convention are girls from Rensselaer, Misses Bessie and Clifford Moddy. They are the great-great-granddaughters of Simon Kenton, who figured in the early history of Indiana and who is a character in the novel, "Alice of Old Vincennes." The girls are graduates of the Rensselaer high echoo'. v The convention Is to end Thursday night with a banquet at the New Tourner hotel. Thursday will be the busiest day of all, as the annual election of officers and the place for holding the next conference will be settled at the afternoon session. A large majority of the delegates seem to be in favor of retaining Mrs. William A. Guthrie of Indianapolis at the head of the state society. It Is said, however, that her office is coveted by other daughters, who as yet have not been
quite bold enough to announce their candidacy. There does not seem to be much of a contest for the other state offices. The state secretary, of course, must live in the city that is to entertain the next meeting. The honor of entertaining the next meeting of the society seems to lie between Rensselaer and Muncie.
POUCHES MADE UP TO AVOID DELAY OF MAIL Local Clerks Have Taken on The Extra Work.
PEOPLE TO NORTH PLEASED
Wednesday a locked mail pouch was made up in this city for Portland. The practice will be continued. Pouches will also be made up lor Fountain City, Lynn. Winchester, Ridgeville, Bryant, Berne and Decatur. The pouches are carried on the north bound train leaving Richmond at 7:h a. m. The north bound morning train carries no mail agent and since the change in trains several days ago. the mail from Indianapolis and other points for the north was delayed in this city, until afternoon. Although making more work for postal clerks in Richmond, the system is very pleasing to those residing in the towns north of
Richmond, it is said, as no delay in the transmission of mail occurs.

ASSOCIATED BODY MEETS.
The Council of Charities is composed will endeavor during the coming winter to prevent as much as possible, duplication in charitable gifts from the
I various organizations in Kicnmona.
Th winter season always occasions many requests from the poor and needy in this city, and the associated charities have no reason to believe that the requests from the poor for aid during the coming winter will to any extent be lessened. Reports recently read before the council showed that a good work was being accomplished in Richmond, but not such an effective work as could be carried forward if the people gave more to charities here. A determined effort will be made to alleviate as much suffering as possible during the winter months with the limited means. Drink is the cause of much suffering in Richmond and is the direct cause of need. The majority of families seeking aid of charitable organizations during past winters- were those where the father or bread winner was an habitual drinker. The Council of Associated Charities of representatives from the various charitable organizations in Richmond, including the township trustee and truant officer.
Struck by a rapidly moving switch ergine. knocked probably twenty feet.
but receiving no other injuries than a
few bruises, was the remarkable experience of Thomas Painter, the veteran
flagman at the North Twelfth street Pennsylvania railroad crossing, late
Wednesday afternoon. The escape was a narrow one and witnesses turn
ed nale from friarht when it was seen
that Painter could not escape. Sev eral people called to Painter, warniaj
him of his danger, but the rumble of cars and noisy screams of engines in
the uptown yards prevented hie hearing. The accident occurred about 4:4
o'clock, when Mr. Painter had walked out onto the tracks to flag a rig which was about to cross in front of a cut of cars bearing down upon the crossing. While standing almost in
the direct path of a switch engine.
which was approaching, he was un
aware of his danger, being interested in the maneuvers of the switching crews. The engineer of the switch engine apparently did not see Painter,
for according to a witness to the acci
dent, the whistle did not blow. The bell was ringing, however, but was scarcely discernible above the noise in
the vards. The switch engine bore
down on Painter at a comparatively
rapid rate and struck him, knocking him, fortunately away from the direct
path of the engine. He was in a dazed condition for
few moments and Yardmaster Murphy and Pennsylvania Detective Burns
rushed to the man's assistance and aid
ed him to a chair in the watchman's
shanty. The ambulance was called
and removed him to his home at 81f
North Fourteenth street. Here he said he was able to assist himself and he walked into the house. It is not thought Painter's injuries will prove serious.
Audubon's Honeymoon. Audubon married Lucy Bakewell. daughter of an Englishman. The father of the girl regarded the naturalist as unpractical and induced him to enter a commercial house in New York, but John James soon proved that ho had no aptitude for trade. He busied himself with collecting specimens and let business take care of itself. His neighbors made a legal complaint against him on account of the disagreeble odor from the drying skins In his room. He and his bride spent their honeymoon on a common flatboat floating down the Ohio to Louisville. Possibly this was one of the original houseboats. A small tent, like an Indian's tepee, was the bridal chamber.

New York, Oct. lO. Loans aggregating $32,761,700.69 were made last year by the Standard Oil company of New York to "outside interests," which the company's vice president, Wesley H. Tilford, wi?s unable to explain today on the witness stand in the government's suite which seeks to dissolve the Standard under the antitrust law. When confronted with the proof that loans of that amount appear on the company's books for 1900, Mr. Tilford said he knew nothing about them. William G. Rockefeller, acting treasurer for the Standard Oil company, will be called to the witness stand today by the government's lawyer, Frank B. Kellogg and asked to explain these gigantic loans. It is likely that Mr. Rockefeller will also be asked to produce a list of collateral which must have been received to secure the loans, together with the names of the persons to whom the loans were made. It will be the first time any member of the Rockefeller family has been called as a witness since the taking of testimony began several weeks ago before Examiner Franklin Ferriss in the Federal building. The entry showing that loans of more than $32,000,000 were made in 1906 by the New York branch of the Standard Oil company was found by Mr. Kellogg in last year's balance

Not Interfere With Mr. Watson's Visit.
PROPOSAL TO CANDIDATES.
Charles W. Stivers of Liberty, candidate for congress, In the Sixth district, has withdrawn his appointment for a meeting here on next Monday night, owing to the fact that that is the night on which James E. Watson, congressman, will speak to the Commercial club. Mr. Stivers will propose to the other candidates for congress that they all speak at the same time at a meeting to be held in each county. This would give the voters a chance to get a look at each man and hear what he has to say on public matters.

One of the numerous activities of the New Zealand government is a "state tourists' department." The report for the year ended June 30 announces that 9,tS4 sightseers were hustled around the beauty . spots of the colony, as as against 7.142 during the preceding year. They left about ?tXX.XH behind them. The branch offices of the department In Sydney and Melbourne have proved so successful tha others
Jare to be started elsewhere. Moreover

They Are Useful s Weil as Grand and Menacing. When an iceberg la launched upon its Ions journey its bottom pr.rts arc barnacled with sand, bowlders and other detritus gathered from the land surface over which it has made it? tedious march to the sea. This burden is gradually cast ol as it melts while drifting down along our continental seaboard. As a result of the deposits thus made through countless centuries, combined v.-itu the products of erosion carried seaward by the rivers, the sea bed for many miles off shore has been gradu ally filled up, creating those vast submersed plateaus, known a3 "banks,"
which extend from Labrador to the bay of Tundy and form the breeding grounds of innumerable shoals of cod. herring and other valuable food fishes. In this wny the bergs have performed an economic service of Incalculable value, laying the foundation for one of the world's most Important productive industries and affording a means of livelihood to those hardy bands of "captains courageous" who each year reap the harvests of the sea. The bergs serve a further economic purpose in that to their tempering in fluences are largely due the climatic conditions prevailing over a great part of the interior of North America.

According to recent French writers. Infants In arms are fed with alcoholic liquors in Normandy, with the most disastrous effects. Dr. Brunon, whoso efforts against the spread of alcoholism in that part of France have made him well known, writes: "In Normandy it Is not unusual to see women mix coffee and cognac in nursing bottles. These women are employed outsile their homes, therefore some means mu3t be devised to keep their babies quiet in the cradles during their absence. The ingenuity takes this form: A bottle containing the mixture Is placed under the pillow to keep It warm, and attached thereto is a long rubber tube which the child, once the nipple is placed between Its lips, reluctantly gives up. Automatically it gets drunk, and thanks to its heavy slumbers, the neighbors are not disturbed.
Patent medicines are the direct descendants of the concoctions offered by the quacks and mountebanks of earlier times, not without protests by contemporaneous writers. Thus Coryat, describing the mountebanks he saw at Venice In the seventeenth century who were adepts in the art of advertising, speaks of the "oration to the audience of half an hour long, wherein he doth most hyperbolicailr extol the virtues of his drugs and confectionsthough many of them are very counterfeit and false." And the author of a "Tour Through England" (172.'5 writes of a mountebank he saw at Winchester: "He cures all diseases and sells his packets for sixpence apiece. It is a prodigy how so wise a people as the English are gulled by such pickpockets.'
