The merging of the Lutheran Standard and the Columbus Theological Magazine and the decision to publish another edition of the Lutheran Book of Confessions were questions of importance before the morning session of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint synod of Ohio and other states. Nomination and election of officers also took place but the results will not be announced until late this afternoon. The two Lutheran magazines which were merged were of the same scope and character and It was on advice of the leading educators of the synod who entered into the debate, that the consolidation of the two was effected. Henceforth they will appear under one cover at $2 per annum. The work of editing will be in charge of an editor-in-chief and an associate editor. The Clerical List. The publication of the clerical list of America was abandoned for next year, but this list will be furnished by the book concern under the direction of the general council. An important resolution was passed in that the synod resolved to publish a new and classical edition of the Book of Concord in English. The publication of the first edition of tbe synodical manual was announced and the book recommended to the delegates. . An attempt to consolidate the two Sunday school papers, namely the "Little Missionary" and "Child's Paper," was voted down. The two

magazines have a large circulation and are constantly growing in favor. Three extra editions of the "Lutheran Standard", will be published In order to bring the elemosynary. the missionary and the educational departments more successfully before the people. Announcement was made that Rev. von Fischer of St Paul, Minn., will preach the r&storal sermon, which Is of particular Importance to the ministers this evening at St. John's church. Appropriations Made. Appropriations occupied the atten

tion of the delegates at tbe session

yesterday afternoon. For the purpose

of assisting in the care of consump

tives In the Rocky Mountain territory, the synod voted an appropriation of

$500. Consumptives who apply to the

synod missionaries will be sunnlled

with tents for the purchase of which

the appropriation was made. Capital university received S8.000, while the Pacific seminary received $2,200. An appropriation of $3,000 for the Old

Fouks' Home and the Orphans' home

at Mars, Pa., was made. The Normal

school at Woodville , O., received $4,000 and $7,188 was appropriated for

the theological seminary at St. Paul. Minn. The largest appropriation of

the day was $35,000 .to the home mission board, to carry on Its work.

The appropriation made for Wernle

Orphans' home was $6,000. It will be

equipped wltha manual training department and the appropriation was made to bear a part of this expense

while the remainder will be used for

the general running expenses of the

institution.

During the convention $80,000 has

been appropriated for different pur

poses. It is the largest amount that any one synod ever expended and will necessitate a great deal of work on

the part of the different district. Per-

mission was given to the seminary board of St' Paul to raise $9,000 for the purchase of land adjacent to the campus and the construction of an

other building.

this way moreover tbe credit of the special improvement bonds will be preserved for it might be difficult to market bonds of this kind hereafter

when It Is known that there has been

a shortage In the fund out of which they are to be paid unless the city at once takes steps to make tliat shortage good. The special fund will thus start anew noon a solvent basis. Tbe Indebtedness of the city will not be increased, it will merely be a bonded indebtedness instead of a liability for money used. If the present system of incorrect bookkeeping be allowed to continue any longer it may finally involve the city in still further liability. Respectfully submitted. Committee on Inventory and Accounts Committee on Inventory and Accounts. Wm. D. Houlke. Approved by the Bureau of Municipal Research at a special meeting August 29th. 1910.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Canon City, Colo., is considering the adoption of the commission plan of governmenL . The Independent democrats of Tennessee will hold their state con-, ventlon in Nashville, September 14. The republican state committee of Virginia has decided to nominate a candidate for congress In each of the ten districts of the state this falL . - Robert Hunter the well known author and settlement worker, has accepted the nomination for governor tendered him by the socialist party of Connecticut At the general election in November Florida will vote on the ratification of an amendment to the constitution prohibiting ' the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. Leagues are being organized in various parts of New England and the eastern states to boom ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri for the democratic nomination for president. Seven republicans and two democrats are contesting for the United States senatorship in the state of Washington. The nominations will be decided by the state primaries to be held this month. The constitutionality of the primary law enacted by the last Idaho legislature has been upheld in a decision recently, handed down by the state supreme court The law provides for publicity of campaign expenses from the time the candidates seek nomination. J. O. Terrell of San Antonio, whonT the republicans of Texas have named for governor, belongs to an old pioneer family of that state. In his time he has played the roles of plowboy and cowboy, editor and lawyer. He is now president of two of the strongest financial institutions in the Lone Star state. James E. Martine, known throughout New Jersey as the "fanner orator," and a follower of the political fortunes of William J. Bryan, has formally announced himself a democratic candidate for the . United States senate to succeed John Kean. He expects his name to go on the ballot in the state primary this month. The new chairman of the democratic state executive committee of Texas is Colonel Shep Williams of Paris. Colonel Williams Is a farmer and business man, and his election to head the state committee - has brought to light, the fact that is is the first time in the history of that body that its chairman has been chosen outside of the legal profession. Colonel Samuel P. CoIL who Is said tobe slated by the republican party of Rhode Island to succeed Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, is of the millionaire class. In bis early career he practiced law and for three years he was attorney geeral of Rhode Island. In 1888 he reorganized the National Rubber company, now known as the rubber trust, since which time he has been rated as many times a millionaire. James R. Mann, representative in congress of the Second Illinois district. Is mentioned for the speakership of the next house in succession to Mr. Cannon. Representative Mann is fifty-four years old and a native of Illinois. He was educated at the university of Illinois and began his public career as a Chicago alderman. He has been a member of congress since 1897 and Is ranked as a '"s'tandpat" member.

Careless Methods Alleged to Prevail In Two Departments

To the Municipal Research Bureau, Richmond, Ind. Your committee of Inventories and Accounts respecting the Street and Police DepL begs leave to submit the following report: After inspecting the City Comptroller's Report for Dec 190S, concerning the Police Department, we find that practically the same equipment is on hands today as then and is practically of the same value. Tbe value of the property' of this department as given in the December report of 1908 was S3S3.30. The present value will not exceed $375.05 as is shown by an accompanying inventory. About the same condition exists with respect to the property of the Street Department The property was valued

in December, 190S at $2328-50 and ao cording to the estimate of 'your oouimittee ft is today in the neighborhood of $30$S.44. This difference ia partially accounted for by tbe fact that scarcely any new property has been purchased and the wear and tear of usage has decreased the value of those things on hands. Your committee learns also that at present there is not in file with the city clerk an inventory of the proper ty of either tbe Street or Police Departments for the year 1909. While there seems to be no discrepancy la the departments at present it does seem more like a business way of doing things to file an Inventory each year so that the citizens of our city could at any time know what they really possessed. , , JUDGE BOGGS.

The Fighting Parson. The minister of the Gospel has been

portrayed in theatrical productions in

various ways, but up to the present time one of the most important and interesting Chirstian workers has been overlooked by the dramatic writers. v The doctor of divinity in question is that noble person who has select ed the most needful field for bis labors in the entire universe, the slum districts of a great city. The settlement worker about whom iem B. Parker has written a story of heart throbs and thrills is called 'The Fighting Parson." which is the title of W. F. Mann's newest melodramatic offering to be seen at the Gennett on next Monday, Labor Day. "Ten Nights in a Barroom." Ten Nights in a Barroom will be

presented at the Gennett theater on Saturday, September 3 for the first time in many years. The play has been counted as one of the old time standbys and Its popularity is exceeded only by Uncle Tom's Cabin. On Saturday there will be a children's matinee and a brass band will give a parade and concert before the per-
