WHAT THE CHURCH CENSUS ESTABLISHES.

Methodists Have Greatest Membership In Indiana, Catholics Second and Christians Third. Thirty-four and six-tenths per cent of the inhabitants of Indiana are church members, or were in 1906, when the special census of the churches of the country, which has just been made public, was taken. For the entire country, the percentage of church membership to population is 39.1. Nine hundred and thirty-eight thousand, four hundred and five church members were found in Indiana out of an estimated population of 2,710,898. • The number of organizations reporting was 6,829. The women outnumber the men in the churches in the state by 145,422. The total of female communicants being 514,938, as against 369,516 males. That ther'e is no lack of church facilities in the state, is shown by the fact that the 6,829 churches report a seating capacity of 2,132,181,-or more than two seats for each member. A total value of $31,081,500 is placed on the church property. Nine hundred and sixty-one organizations reported a total indebedness of $1,723,910. The total value of church parsonages is given as $3,623,538. Reports were received by the census bureau from 5,879 Sunday schools in the state, with 63,042 teachers and 516,809 scholars. In the state the Methodists lead with 24.9 per cent of the total membership, while the Roman Catholic church is second with 18.6 per cent of the total. The Diciples of Christ come third with 12.6 per cent of the total, the Baptists fourth with 9.9 per cent and the Presbyterians fifth with 6.2 per cent.

Government Farms For All.

A golden opportunity awaits the homeseeker in several sections of the west where large engineering works of the government are now ready to supply water for irrigation. The prospective homeseeker will not be compelled to take a chance in a lottery, and if he acts with promptness he will find a home on his arrival. Some of the best opportunities will be found in the projects in the northwest where the soil, crops and climate are alike attractive to farmers who are accustomed to the conditions of the upper Mississippi Valley and New England. Although these projects are located in what may be termbd new country, the settler will not have to put up with isolation, nor will he be remote ’from excellent transportation or educational facilities. So rapid is the development of the irrigated regions that the country has more of a suburban than rural appearance. The farms are 40 to 80 acres, and are so laid out that from 8 to 16 farm houses line each mile of the'main highways, giving plenty of neighbors and creating social conditions which even today are unknown in many older settled sections of the east and middle west. The healthfulness and charm of these valleys, the abundant and certain crops, the nearly ideal conditions of social life arfd the assurance of an independent living should cause a marked decline in the undesirable efflux of our good citizens to Canada. The Reclamation Service at Washington, D. C., the bureau which is promoting the work, is endeavoring to acquaint the public with the manifold advantages of our irrigated west. Inquiries addressed to the Statistician will receive prompt attention.

Oxford Gloats Over Defeat Of Wrens, Claiming Third Victory.

The Oxford people are taking a great amount of delight at the defeat handed to the Wrens on Sunday, Oct. 3d, and boast that it was the third time this year that they had defeated the Wrens. That is exhibiting a lot of nerve, to claim the game that ended in a dispute and that would have been Rensselaer’s with any umpire in charge of the game that had any regard for the agreed upon ground rules. Rensselaer claims that the disputed game belongs to the Wrens, and that is about as near as we will ever get together in settling it. While Rensselaer players and fans came home after last Sunday’s game, acknowledging defeat, and making no “holler,” it is not amiss now to say, w’hat was evident to every person that went from here to witness the, game, that Oxford’s .attitude, with its bunch of pug-ugly specially deputized policemen each carrying a slab of fence palling, was very menancing and their unwarranted howling about Umpire Gragg, whose thoroughly impartial decisions would have been commended by any fair crowd, with the bluffing demeanor and unsportsmanlike con-duct-of one tin-horned sport named Miller, and the malicious assault made on Catcher McLain by Tommy Jensen, and the striking of third baseman Kevin with a stick, and the threat of five big bullies to pull Kevin out of an automobile and half kill him, are sideline features of Oxford hospitality of which the newspapers dislike to talk and of which we said nothing after the gam‘6, but the boastful claim of Oxford to three victories, when the claiming of one is little short of highway robbery, is quite aggravating. Rensselaer gave Oxford the very nicest treatment here, and will do so Thursday when Oxford comes here again, but we can find no defense for the bruiser style of rule exhibited at Oxford. Probably the meanest and most contemptible act of unfairness exhibited by the Oxford crowd was the placing of a number of buggies in center field where they expected, based upon their batting here the Sunday before, to knock most of their balls, thus interfering in a very unsportsmanlike manner with the merits of the contest. Oxford may think they are justified in such methods, but Rensselaer will continue to play ball in a fair manner, asking nothing that is not fair, and treating visitors with the courtesy of due gentlemen even if they make occasional mistakes in the quality of their guests.

More Hudson-Fulton Stamps.

The postofflce department has made a request on the secretary of the treasury to authorize the bureau of engraving and printing to issue twenty million additional Hudson-Fulton commemorative postage stamps, or such number less than that quantity, as can be made without renewing the plates. The original issue of these stamps was fifty million. The demand for them has been so great that the postofflce department has been unable to supply it.

T&Y IT. “Men can always take care of themselves while women have not an equal chance in the world.” With this thought in mind and which he quoted in his will, Frederick W. Keil, former postmaster and book seller, of Ft. Wayne, who died recently, detailed that all his property be left to his three sisters —Mary A., Amy Jane and Sarah Sophia Keil. Two sons also survive, and these had been his partners in business for some time.

Democratic Convention At Monon Winds Up In Fight.

Harry Winkley, A well-known resident of Monon, was disappointed because his candidate for marshal was not nominated by the democrats of tliht town at their convention last Friday night and started a rough house, which the Monon News desa } cribes as follows: ■ „ ,3. “In balloting the vote of Wm. Nprdyke was rejected on the ground that he was not entitled to vote here. Harry Winkley objected to this action and as he was leaving the hall used abusive language to Marshal Wilson, the successful candidate, coming at him in a threatening manner. The latter grappled with him and in the struggle had his shoulder pushed through the glass in the front window. They were soon separated, and no blows struck. Wm. Nordyke undertook to help Winkley out, but was soon down and out by a swift passage on his anatomy made by John Rogers. All this transpired after the convention adjourned and was the outcome of Winkley’s plans being thwarted.”

The Legacy of John A. Johnson To His Home State.

The following eulogy on the life of John A. Johnson, governor of Minnesota, whose death, occurred recently, is by a republican newspaper, the Minneapolis Journal, and shows that political opponents are not necessarily blinded to the good in others. The Journal said of him: “His love of the common folk was sincere. He sympathized with their struggles. He,aided them by precept. But he did infinitely more for them by his example. He proved by his life that the battle with obscurity and poverty, while always hard, is never hopeless. He has left Minnesota in his life a legacy which she can never lose, more valuable than her grain covered acres, more precious than the riches of her iron hills.”

Cures Dyspepsia; TriaMsFree It is a popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and highly-spiced foods suffer from dyspepsia, or, as it is also known, indigestion. The laborer in the street, the worker in the field also finds himself a victim of this disorder. Among the very greatest sufferers from it are Women. Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant feeling of laziness, by loss of appetite and troubled sleep, by sour stomach and distress after eating, by bad complexion and lusterless eyes. There is no surer and speedier cure for this trouble than Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using successfully for twenty years. This great herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark, of Buffalo, la., of dyspepsia and sour Stomach that he had had for forty years, or until the lucky day that he heard of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It cured Joel Adams, of Montgomery, Ala., after Buffering continuously for sixteen months. These are only a few of the many. But It is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy, as it can be bought at any drug store in a 50-cent or $1 bottle. Your very neighbors are probably lifelong users of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, but if you want to know without expense what it will do for you personally, send your name to Dr. Caldwell and he will be glad to send you a free trial bottlg. He is actually anxious to have you make a i test of his remedy. Thousands of families everywhere keep It in the house against such an emer- , gency as constipation, sour stomach, in- ' digestion, biliousness, dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid liver, etc., which may come on a member of the family any day. It Is pleasant to the taste, acts gently and does not gripe. It is the great children's laxative tonic. W there is anything about your ailment that you don’t CT understand, or if you want Tfl any medical advice, write I to the doctor, and he will uQBMSf answer you fully. There is no charge for this service. The address is Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 500 Caldwell bldg.. Monticello, 111.
