Bethan Park, An I rvto rest i n g l otter Prom Om of Our Correspondents.

Bkthany PArk Aug. 2, 1895 Editors World: To-day for the third time in the history of Bethany Park, a memorial service is being held 'in the tabernacle as a tribute, to the departed Rev. Ira J. Chase. The faithful friend of the family A- M. Atkinson of Wabash, presiding. The choir opened the services singing, ''Nearer my God to Thee". Rev. E. T. Lane invoked God's blessing on the afflicted wife and the fatherless children. The earnest prayer closed with a review of the many christian trails of character daily shown in private and public life. Five of the ministers in the Christian Church was chosen because of their intmacy with Gov. Chase to speak briely of his life. W. D. Starr of the Warsaw Church related a number of incidents showing the practical side of his life. Ex-Represenitive Brown of Mor

gan county was associated with ' Gov. Chase in his duties to the state he loved so well to serve. : "Never", said the speaker," were his daily labors begun until he had bowed his head in prayer to God, imploring his aid in discharging ; the work of his office." Rev. L. E.Murray ot Ladoga the third speaker, touchingly related 1 incidents of his humility even ; while occupying the highest office ; of the state. He was very fond of j c'li'dren. often caressing them. In

company said Mr. Mur-ay with his own son about five years of age he called upon Mr. Chase on business connected with the S. School work, after cordially greeting him he immediately stooped and kissed the little one- For humility, tender ness, unselfishness and nobility of character Ira J. Chase will never be excelled. Thirty years Rev. L. L.Carpenter of Wabash intimately knew hip co-

laborer in preaching the gospel of

Christ, their families have visited

frequently, again and again have

they worshiped to-gether. Mr. Chase was the mo?t devoted husband and father he ever knew.

The last but not the least who

spoke in praise of the noble man who has passed over the river, was the one who uttered the words

of consolation to the bereaved ones

at the burial, Rev. U. C. Brewer.

With tears falling from his eyes he dared not trust himself to his

memory, but instead had prepared

a brief manuscript, of the life of his best friend. Too generous for

his own good was the one mistake of his own life. Such was his lovely

nature that he was easily imposed upon. Speaking at length of his

triumphant, death away from his loved ones, he closed with the last

utterance of the consecrated man of God"Blessed are they that die in the Lord." May it be years in the future before we shall witness another such an occasion of deepest sorrow ami grief.

Dr. Homer JJ. Strain, Bert Harne and Robert G. Miller took the ini-

titory degree in the Knights of

Pythias last night.

i ne politicians ;uv uu busying

themselves in picking out the win

ners tor each of the two great

political parties in the gubernatorial race next year. A dispatch is going the rounds of the pre that there are fourteen Republican aspirants, among whom are W. D. Owen, J. E. Watson, S. E. Nicholson and J. C. Adams. Among those prominently mentioned on the Democratic ticket are Ex-Congressman Cooper, Tom Taggart, Gil. Shanklin and Mortimer Nye. It is yet early to seriously consider

these questions and yet the leaders among Democrats and Republicans are figuring on the chances of their favorites. Among the Republicans of Bloomington the two most mentioned are W. D. Owen and J. C. Adams. Owen is a Monroe count)'

boy and a brother of City Marshal George Owen. Adams was speaker o the last House, and as such won the admiration of the workers. Among Democrats the feeling is practically uuanirnous for our brainy ex-Congressman. He is a man of ability and experience and is a fighter from alpha to omega. A cooper in industrial paths gets the bulge on his work, and there are thousands of Democrats in thiei section of Indiana that are anxious to aid Cooper in getting the bulge on the gubernatorial nomination, should he so desire it.

TRUSTEES Mil REPORT.

Opinion of Attorney-General on a Recent Enactment

Banker J. M. Andrews.

Elected President of the Second National Bank of New Albany.

Banker J. M. Andrews, one of the men most active in the organization of the Monroe County State Bank, has bought a large interest in the Second National bank of New Albany and has been elected as its president. The people of Bloomington would have been glad to have had Mr. Andrews and his family to locate here. Concerning the transfer of the stock the New Albany Tribune says: "Lawrence Bradley today soid his stock in the bank to J. M. Andrews, of Louisville, one of the large stockholders and a director in the bank, and retired as president of the institution. His son, Lawrence L. Bradley, also retired as cashier and is succeeded by Edward F. Lapping, who was cashier of the bank until about two years ago when he was succeeded by Mr. Bradley, as president of the bank. Negotiations for the transfer of the stock have been in progress for several weeks and the deal was completed today. Mr. Andrews was formerly a member of the wholesale grocery firm of Andrews & Bo wen, of Louisville, but retired from the firm last April. He was formerly a resident of Paoli and expects to reside in this city as soon as he can make suitable arrangements. He is a director in the Louisville Banking Company, one of the strongest institutions in that city. Mr. Andrews and H. E. Wells, of Frencn Lick Springs, also organized the Stone City at Bedford and the Monroe County Bank, of Blocnington, Mr. Andrews being president of the bank at Bedford, and Mr. Wells, of the bank at Bloomington. Mr. Bradley has. been con

templating retiring from active

business life for several months past. He organized the Second National Bank and has always been a large stockholder, being

Indianapolis Sentinel. The other day Attorney-General Ketcham received the following letter from C, W. Wei man, superintendent of Sullivan county: "Enrolled act No 180, approved March 7, 1895, requires township trustees to publish a report at the end of each year. Is there any reason why the present trustees should not comply with this law? An Indianapolis school supply house has sent out the statement that the present trustees will not be required to make such publication, and our trustees do not know what to do in the matter. Please favor me with an early reply." To this the Attorney-Gederal re

plied as follows:

"The act of March 7, 1894, requiring township trustees to publish annual reports provides 'that ever"y township trustee in this state immediaiely alter the taking effect of this act procure at the expense of the township a book and on the fi,rst Monday of August of each year he shall post up a statement and shall within ten days after filing his report, cause a copy of his report in full to be published one week in a weekly newspaper, and shall be liable on his

bond in the sum of $100 for failure

to publish such report.' This act took effect on the 28th of June last and certainly applies as fully to trustees now in office as any who may hereafter be elected. If a school supply house in this city has recommended the trustees now in office not to make such publication that tact should be reported to the prosecuting attorney of this county, which recommendation is

clearly counseling the violation of

the law."

A Contributor States His Views on An Important Subject.

Editors World: There are poor children of the proper school age in our cLfcy who will not attend the public schools this Fall unless aided outside of their own families. The parents say,"weare unable to send our children to school for the want of clothes and books." Whatever blame may attach to them the children are innocent suffers. These helpless, needy children are growing up in ignoraace and idleness. Their vices may cause their lives to alternate between the crimnial court room, the pinitenitary, and the benevolent Institutions of the State This class of people is not so numerous in a comparatrvely clean community like ours. The state does not take the matter fully in charge. The work can be done through the churches, or private benevolence. Some of it has been attempted with good results. The need is not only for clothes but sympathy, tender and true, that shall extend itself in wise supervision throughout the year. The work is difficult and delicate but urgent, whether viewed from the stand point of the child or society. The cry of the children is; "help us or we may ruin you". It takes money to meet expenses. PUBLIC NOTICE. When you go to Indianapolis ask Agent Helton for one way or round trip tickets via Vandalia Liun, our limited train leave Indianapolis 12 40 noon daily, and the wait at Greoncaatle Junction is but forty five minutes.
