We ask. we beg for $1,500. when he ought to have $15,000. It would be a disgrace to Indiana Yearly Meeting to tell of the conditions of the missionaries Now let us have a few moments of silent prayer and contribute , to this work." After . a few moments one member stated that he would give $100 and then after about half an hour over one thonsand dollars was . given.

PROPOSED

Handsome Decorations for A utos

Floral displays will be prominently used In the decorations of the automobiles in the - . parade. Wednesday evening', October 6. which will be the opening night of . the Fall Festival. Flowers make a very attractive display and it is possible to arrange them in so many different designs that they will be very popular. One auto owner stated today that he in tended decorating his machine with golden rod or corn stalks. . The Fred H. Lemon Floral company have sent out letters to every automobile owner in the county, whose name they could secure, offering to decorate the cars. The letter is as follows: ' Letter Sent Out. Dear Sir: You have probably been approached by the committee on the matter of decorating your automobile for the evening parade on the first night of the festival. It has occurred to us .that you might desire to decorate your automobile somewaat elaborately, and if so, we would be very glad to undertake to carry out any special design of an elaborate natme, such as converting7 the machine into a Venetian Gondola drawn by a white swan, or a who attend Yearly meeting.' Now, there are very few who come to Yearly Meeting with horses and the Yearly Meeting is at a loss to know what should be done with this money. So I say Friends, do not place tags on your contributions. . Will Not Continue. "The missionary work is not a work to continue forever. The greatest work that will be done in the mission fields will be accomplished during the next twenty-five years. We need the money for the present work and I would asks you, Friends, not to hold your money until you die, and then be queath it to the mission work, but give it now so that it may be used now, when it will be far more valuable. "The Friends of the world are held responsible for the preaching of the gospel to two hundred million people. this makes every Friend responsible for from 30 to 50 people in the heathen world, who have never heard of Christ and you can assist in this work by contributing to the American Board of Foreign Missions." The report of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Friends showed that the work o the board bad beep transferred to the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions. The funds of the Board of Foreign Missions reached $4,673.50, which is an increase of $380.72 over the previous year. The report also showed that there had been an increase in the mission work in the Friends Meetings during the past year. Last year there were forty-five men working in the missions, this year ninty-eight. Last year there were fifty-one Sabbath schools studying mis sions, this year there were 72. ' The board recommended that $2,500 be appropriated.:"' - '''?'' Phariba W- Stephens Introduced the subject of missionary work in the Mex ican field, and told of the work of Lydia Pike of Fountain City, who left last week for Victoria, Mexico, Mission fields. . Work in Old Mexico. George C. Levering, principal of the Juarez Institute, located at Victoria, presented the missionary work in Mexico, showing that "just across the Rio Grande in Mexico there is a strip of land of about 10,000 miles that Indiana Yearly Meeting is responsible for. A hundred thousand people inhabit this place and there are only six or eight busy school teachers who can preach to the people. His plea was for more missionaries. R, Esther Smith of California, also spoke and presented the condition cf the missionary workers in Central America. E. Gurney Hill presented a matter which is thought of by all those pres ent, but which is little acted upon. Years ago the women attending the Yearly Meeting were seated on one side of the East Main Street Friends Meeting House and the men on the other. This year the line, or aivision is not marked as some men are on the women's side and some women are on the side formerly occupied by the men. Mr. Hill stated that if he had his way he "would put all the women on the one side and all the goats on the other.". A Report on Africa. The report of the African Industrial Commission showed that they had a balance of $737.2S and a special fund of $455.00. Because of vacancies on the permanent board, the following committee was appointed to suggest names to fill the vacancies on the board. Isaac H. Furnas, Bennett L. Shugart, H. W. Bailey, Callie Stafford. Albert Brumon, Luke Woodard and H. O. Mills. LRUTI IS A WIIIIIER Ralph B.

BOY IS ARRESTED; FARMERS ARE MAD Result of Burning of Clendenin Barn Thought to Be Incendiary Origin. LAD ENTICED FROM FIELD IT IS SAID THAT , EMPLOYES OF TANNING COMPANY COAXED YOUTH TO THE CITY AND THEN HAD HIM ARRESTED. Lured from, the field in which he was working at the home of his grandfather, about two miles north of the city, by an employe of the Clendenen Tanning company, who promised to pay him seventy-five cents for helping to haul two dead mules to the plant, Carl Pickett, aged 16 years, was unsuspectingly enticed to this city yesterday afternoon, and Instead of securing employment as he was told, the young man was locked up in the city jail, where a charge of suspicion was placed against him. Young Pickett is employed on the farm of his grandfather, William Pickett. The land adjoints that on which the fertilizing plant of William Clendenin is located. On Tuesday night the large barn owned by Clendenin, which is a part of the fertilizing plant, was burned to the ground and the fir is believed to have been of incendiary origin, in view of the fact that resi dents in that locality have been complaining for some time over the disagreeable stench which arises from the plant, and have threatened to bring suit against the company. The manner in which young Pickett was arrested has aroused the ire of farmers in that neighborhood. It is asserted that the boy is entirely free from blame and able to prove a complete alibi. Relatives interceded in his behalf last evening and John P. Robbins, attorney, secured the youth's release on his own recognizance. The police are Investigating the matter and other arrests will no doubt follow, it is said, although other methods will hereafter be pursued. SHE ASKS DIVORCE Mrs. Lizzie Edmunds, colored, filed suit for divorce in the circuit court today against her husband, Randall Edmunds, on the charge of cruelty. Edmunds caused a sensation in West Richmond on Wednesday afternoon by knocking his wife down and then chasing her- through the streets with a long, sharp knife, alleging that he was going to kill her. He was only prevented from .carrying, out his threat by some men who came to the aid of the woman. Edmunds, who is known as "Double Barrel," was fined $25 and costs in the city court for assault and battery and is now serving his sentence in the county Jail. The woman claims that her husband has frequently mistreated her and threatened to kill her and ner daughter, Rhea Craig, at their home on South Third street. ;

INVESTIGATION

Frank Ryder Testified His Wife Behaved Quite Improperly. SHE HAS A JAIL RECORD "Following a courtship of five weeks Frank Ryder married Goldie Kelley, but this morning he was granted a divorce by Judge Fox of the circuit court. Adultery and desertion , were the charges averred. Mrs. Ryder has gained much notoriety by her ' escapades and at the present time is a fugitive from justce, having broken jail at the Home for Friendless, about eighteen months ago.

COOK INTENDS TO CHARGE SLANDER Doctor's Secretary Says That Legal Action Against Peary, Ready. RESENTS SLUR ON WORD TERM OF "GOLD BRICK" RANKLES IN THE HEART OF THE EXPLORERNAVAL OFFICER PROBABLY WILL RETALIATE. New York, Sept. 25. The CookPeary controversy over the north pole has taken on a legal status as its latest development. Walter Lonsdale. Dr. Cook's secretary, gave 'out a statement last night that suit for slander is to be started against Commander Peary. Although Dr. Cook has not said much about it he evidently has felt keenly the insinuations made by Commander Peary, and in addition to presenting to some qualified body of experts the proofs and data collected on his polar dash, he will take his case to the civil courts for settlement. Dr- Cook, all through the heckling he has undergone irom a multitude of questioners, has refused to say anything about the cries of "gold brick" and "I have him nailed," that have come down from the upper part of the world. Many wondered at his reticence under the circumstances, but his friends were of the opinion all along that he merely was biding his time. Peary's Friends Also May Sue. Another suit for the collection of damages is hinted at by Mr. Lonsdale, although he refused to commit him self. After Peary stated he did not believe Dr. Cook's story, the latter retorted that Peary had taken, stores and valuable pelts he had left at.Etah before starting on his dash. Dr. Cook is corroborated by Capt. Moses Bartlett, who commanded the schooner that carried Cook and his party on the first leg of their journey. The preliminary steps, such as draw ing up the papers in the suit, already have been attended to, according to Mr. Lonsdale, and the matter will rest at least until the arrival of Command er Peary. Mr. Lonsdale stated he be lieved Commander Peary's friends were contemplating a suit of retaliation, on just' what grounds he did not know. e Scientist Satisfied by Cook. Prof. Archer M. Huntington, president of the American Geographical society, had a talk with Dr. Cook in the Waldorf today and expressed himself as satisfied with the truth of the Cook claims after being told some facts that have not been given to the general public. Dr. Cook intended to attend the Hudson-Fulton parade today, but later changed his mind and stared at home to prepare for the lecture- he is to deliver on Monday at Carnegie hall under the auspices of the Arctic club of America, , Nevertheless ' he will have a busy week, consisting of dinners that will test .his gastronomic capacities to the utmost. On Tuesday he will attend a dinner given In his honor at the Harlem Casino. On Wednesday the Hudson-Ful ton dinner at the Astor will demand his presence and on Thursday he will be at a dinner at the Demicratic club in Brooklyn, given by the United Danish-American societies. A During Marksman, i Ex-Crown frinee George of Serria. says a Vienna report, once shot a pair of pearl pendants frm a woman's ears at a distance of ten paces. His aim was so true thst the ballets merely severed the gold wire on which the pearls were suspended, and the gems dropped on the woman's shoulders and thence to the floor uninjured. The two shots were fired in quick succession j without a tremor on the part of the j wearer of the gems, at whose behest t the prince had consented to exhibit his skill.

FOOTBALL COACH

COLLEGE Thistlethwaite Brings Along With Him Hundred and - Fifty Plays. PLAYERS REPORT MONDAY DURING THE SUMMED THE NEW COACH HAS ATTENDED UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN STUDYING THE NEW PLAYS. With a hundred and fifty new plays and enthusiastic over the material and prospects of the Earlham College foot ball team. Coach Glen Thistlethwaite, has arrived at the college. Coach This tlethwaite has spent part of the summer at the University of Wisconsin. where he has met with and studied, the suggestions of three of the best coach es in the United States. The members of, last year's squad as well as the new timber, have been requested by the coach to be at the college Monday afternoon-at 3 o'clock for initial prac tice. ; ; ' . . ' Record at Illinois. Coach Thistlethwaite, while at Illi nois college, at Jacksonville, 111., last year, made a good team out of entirely new material When he arrived at that college he found but few of the old foot ball men reporting, together with some green timber from which he had to mould a team. It is needless to say that they did not win a majority of the games, this would have been the realization of the impossible, but Illinois college did win three games out of the seven played. During the summer Thistlethwaite attended the University of Wisconsin, where he came into contact wih Coaches Stagg, -Griffith and Berry. With these men he has discussed the known and unknown of the 100!) foot ball rules. They have planned charges and countercharges as generals on the field of battle, and as a result, all have come away from the institution with a better knowledge of the game. Coach Thistlethwaite, himself, is satisfied that he has received an exceptional training during the summer, and when practice begins he will inculcate some of these principles in the Quaker squad. HOWARD TO LECTORE The second sublect in the series on "What is the Matter With the Church" will be discussed at Vesper services of the First Lutheran church Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock by the Rev.
