Men Say the Place I Ilad Board of Charities Says It I Good. The County. Commissioners yesterday be gan an investigation of the report of the special committee appointed by the Cen tral Labor Union to investigate conditions at the poor farm. M. T. Butler, chairman of the committee, was the first witness on the stand. lie was questioned by County Attorney Tlugg. lie said he and Elwood Sands visited the poor farm on July 17. and at the gate they were met by a. man begging for tobacco. They questioned the. man and he told them, the inmates fre quently went to the gate to beg: tobacco since th; commissioners discontinued giv ing: It to them. lie said th man at th pate told him the Inmates dried grape leaves and smoked them. Butler said they Inquired at the superintendent's office for James Ball, a paralytic inmate, who was on the second floor in the sick ward. lie gaid as they passed thnugh the halls they rotieed a stench. In the sick ward they found Ball, a blind man named Armstead and a legless man named Eoddy. The thre men told them they were half fed. Butler said. lie then described the food he saw brought to the men at 4:10 In the afternoon for their supper. He said an at tendant brought each three slices of bread, - tin cup half full of coffee, a tin cup half full of millc and a littla molasses on a dirty tin pan. Butler said Boddy told him a few favorites get the remnants of Super intendent Harcourt's meals. When asked if he considered the building habitable he said, "I should say not." He said the building ttu a flra trap, and if there were a fire It would result in great loss, as there were 220 inmates. Butler admitted that he and Sands Rave the inmates tobacco, although they knew it was against orders for them to smoke in the house. Butler said the inmates would gladly give up half their rations for the privilege of smoking. Elwood Sands fol lowed Butler. .He gave practically the same testimony as Butler, but named S. Jordan, Thomas Irvin and Kick "Woods as inmates who gave him information. Sands declared the buildings nothing but fire traps and County Attorney Hugg said: "The commissioners know tnat the build ing are fire traps and It was to prevent a holocaust that the anti-smoking order was issued." Dr. Ridpath. secretary of the County Board of Health, was the next witness. He said sanitary Improvement had been made, but with the present buildings it would be Impossible to make It a good poor farm He said he had visited the poor farm fre quently and found the food to be plenti ful and palatable. He said it was the dis position of unfortunate people to complain of their lot, and especially inmates of poor farms. Lorenz Schmidt and William R. N. Syl vester, members of the County Board of Charities and Correction, denied the re port of the committee that the board never got beyond the superintendent's dining room. Sylvester said every time the board visited the poor farm each room was en tered, and if a door was locked the super intendent was asked to open it. He said the women members of the board always visited the supply room and watched the cooks. Sylvester said he caught two women smoking, one of them in bed, since the order was issued, and reported the mat ter to Superintendent Harcourt. He said several women inmates had asked him for tobacco. He complimented the superin tendent on his work. Mr. Schmidt gave practically the same testimony as Mr. Syl vester. "With this testimony the board ad journed until to-morrow morning, when the complaining inmates will be brought in to tell their story. Among those present yesterday was K.chard A. Coleman, an attorney and Dem ocratic politician, who s.iid he was the representative of the Central Labor Union. OLD SETTLERS' REUNION To Be Held at Broad Ripple Park on Thursday of Next "Week. The eld settlers of Marion county will hold their twentieth annual reunion in Broad Ripple Park on Thursday, Aug. 14. The dinner will be of the delightful old fashioned kind so wey known under the name of "basket dinner." The word "bas ket" is usually a. misnomer, for the wives of the old settlers nearly always prepare so much good food that hampers are re quired for its transportation. Knowing from past experience the big crowds that are drawn by thefo annual gatherings the men in charge of the park are preparing to look after an immense throng next week. There will be the best of facilities for reaching the purk by street cars, which method of travel, of course, will be scorned by the pioneers. Every device about the grounds that Is Intended to afford entertainment will be in active ojratinn oi the day of tho re ur.ioi. Dfi;ny Sullivan promises to have nil of his rowbnats in commission, and thse, with the Sunshine and Isabella, will furr.ish river rides for those who po'ssfss acqnatic inclinations.

Among those who will speak are Attorney General Taylor. John W. Kern. Frank Mc Cray. Mayor Bookwaltcr and others. Squire Smock will do his full share towards entertaining the crowd by con ducting a chorus. The prize contests have come to be regarded as a sterling feature of these old settlers reunions, and the committee in charge of this year's contests his been at unusual pains to arrange a list of prizes. The contests will be of the usual variety. New Pianos JICi and up at Wulschner AT ACTON AND BETHANY THIS YEAR'S HOLINESS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION VERY SUCCESSFUL.

AT BETHANY PARK. Mr. Sntff, of IlniliTllle, Is Atralnat Rag-Time in Sunday School. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BETHANY PARK. Aug. 2.-The State Sunday-school convention closed this morn ing. State Evangelist T. J. Legg, in sperk- ing of it, said: "It has been the farthest reaching In results of any Sunday-school convention held for years." The first thing on to-day's programme was the early morn ing prayer meeting, under the leadership of W. M. Cunningham, of Franklin. At 9:30 o'clock W. W. Sniff, cf Rushville, gave an address on "The Vital Force in the Sunday school." Mr. Sniff defined the vital force In the Sunday-school as the Scriptures, thor oughly understod and taught by a, conse crated teacher. He deemed music a strong element in the work, but thinks Sunday school music degenerating. He objected to tha Jig-time, rag-time music of the present day. He objected also to the system of graduating the boys and girls from the Sunday-school at the age of sixteen or seven teen, and hoped to see the older people in terested in the work. At 11 o'clock the assembly lecture was delivered by Scot Butler, president of But ler College. His lecture was the civil war. His description of the mountaineers was so clearly and forcibly given that "Old Man" and "Old Woman" Rains seemed to stand on the platform by his side. His description of his first experience with his uniform and in the drill were amusing, while his opinion of present-day title, though cutting, was full of truth. He said: "There must have been an alarming mortality in the rank and file of the army during the war. It would seem that few privates survived the strug gle, for nowadays it is a rare thing to meet anything leas in rank than colonel, so it is evident that all the officers came back, and in the years intervening since the war the crop has increased constantly and enor mously. Promotion has been rapid since the war." This afternoon an address, entitled "The Kej's of the Kingdom." was delivered by Ashley S. Johnson, president of School of Evangelists at Klmberlin Heights, Tenn. At 4 o'clock a model teachers' meeting was conducted in the Christian Endeavor cot tage, with James Small, of Columbus, leader. An entertainment was given this evening by W. W. Ffrimmer, poet, reader and impersonator, and president of the Western Writers' Association. Mr. Pfrim mer explained that he is not a lecturer. He reads only his own writings, partly in dia lect. He has no patience with the writer who pictures the Hoosler character as either vulgar or profane. His opening selection was "Appearances Doesn't Govern," in which he impersonates an old man; "Music of the Past," "The Old Man Talks'' and "Farmer Dobson's Dream" were also im personations of the old man. "Measure Fair" was a capital lesson in generosity in Judgment of others. "Music of the Past," "Dreams of Injun Creek" and "The Old Feather Bed" were retrospective poems. "Down Around the Depot" was a humorous selection, as was also "Caleb Shaw", and "Parson Macbeth." The closing selection, "Hot Weather Yarns." was very appropri ate for the season. Mr. I'frimmer respond ed to many encores. To-morrow will be a big day at Bethany. The morning sermon will be given by R. E. Hieronymus, president of Eureka College; the afternoon sermon will be by O. S. Reed, of Pittsburg, Pa. Great preparations are being made for Butler day, which will be observed Monday. Butler cottage is being decorated with bunting in Butler colors, blue and white, and a beautiful banner in these colors is now attracting much at tention as a part of the decorations. Addresses of the day will be given by A. B. Phllputt, Indianapolis, and Ii. F. Dally, Greenfield. The stereoptlcon lecture will be given by T. C. Howe in the evening, fol lowed by a display of fireworks from Butler cottage. Dr. Rosa Lee Oxer, the missionary from Mahoba, India, has been in charge of the dispensary at that place. Miss Elsie Gor don, a missionary who has been supported in Mahoba, India, for over five years by the Third Christian Church cf Indianapolis, is making her first visit to America. She will remain a year. Her work is chiefly among the women. Bethany people are rejoicing over the con dition of the assembly this year. Through the faithful efforts of L. L. Carpenter, "Father of Bethany Assembly," the finan cial condition is better than for years. Less than twenty years ago this assembly was started with only Improvements amounting to have been made, this not including private cottages and build ings, but unless plans fail to be realized this debt will be reduced to J3.0 by Sept. 1, and Bethany Assembly will soon be on a sure footing.

Thousands of people from Cincin nati, Louisville and the southern part of Indiana flock here every season, during the camp meeting and camp in tents for a two weeks' outing to enjoy the cool breezes, pure limestone water and shady nooks, as well as the teaching of the gospel.

GAMBLERS' FUTILE LABOR HID TABLE TOI IX A BED AXD CHIPS IN A STOVE. One Mnn Palled Oat of Obscnrity by His If( Companion! Herded in a Very Small Room. Xine men crowded Into a small room over Ed. Beiser's saloon at 18 South Delaware street were arrested yesterday on the charge of visiting a gambling house. The same place was raided on Thursday night and about the same number of men were arrested. At neither raid was the keeper identified by the police. The first cases came up on Friday and were continued. Yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock Captain Hyland, with Sergeants Crane and Bray, went to Beiser's place. Hyland stationed himself at the front of the stairs, while Bray and Crane went to the rear. Hyland waited until the other men had time to go upstairs and then he ascended. He knocked at a door, but no response came. He could hear whispering inside, however, and con tinued his rapping. He waited for ten minutes before the door was opened. Then a young man clad in shirt sleeves opened the door and held such a straight face that for a second the policeman thought that he had made a mistake. Crane and Bray had come up in the mean time and the three entered. No one could be seen. Hyland stationed his assistants in the room while he went across the hall. Here, in a small, dark room he found a crowd of men perspiring greatly. The men were marched out into the hall. A search wad made of the place. The policemen en tered a room back of the one that they first entered and saw a woman calmly making up a bed. Captain Hyland offered to assist in the work and in taking oft the covers he found the top of a poker table. In the stove was found a sack of poker chips. The policemen were about to leave when they saw two feet protruding from under the bed. Fred Vlelhaber was drawn out. The men gave their names as Oscar Murphy, 713 Warman avenue; Albert Arm strong, 12j7 Sheffield avenue; George Mc Elroy, 1436 Blaine avenue; Fred Vielhaber, Smith's Hotel; Thomas Robinson, 103G Warman avenue; Harry Cramer, East Morris street; Walter Bragg, Casey, 111.; Ben Morrow, Shelbyville; Web Gregg, Jonesboro. ASSAULTED A POLICEMAN. Yonnff Toughs 3Inke Sooth Meridian Street an Unpleasant NelKhborbood. "With the coming of Saturday night the residents of South Meridian street, near Morris, look for a free-for-all fight. Last night was no exception. At the Lyra Hall, at 1232 South Meridian street, a dance is given each Saturday night, at which col lect many tough characters from different parts of the town. Young rowdies are in the majority and after they drink a few glasses of beer are always looking for trouble. A crowd of boys slightly under the in fluence of beer began to quarrel in front of the hall last night about 10 o'clock. A passing merchant policeman tried to quell the loud talk. The boys turned their at tention to the policeman and four youths begun beating the officer. He was knocked into the street by one boy who wielded a club. The policeman pulled his revolver and flred three times in the air in the hope of frightening the boys. Instead it at tracted others, who came to help their companions. Th crowd would have in jured the policeman had not Sergeant Hagerman and Bicycle Policemen Trimpe and KltznUller arrived in time to hold the crowd in check. John Morrison, James Gracey, Tim Nurse and Charles Consadine were arrested, charged with assault and battery. COULD, BUT WOULDN'T PAY. Robert Rnssell Mangled by Train on Which He "Was "Beating Ills AVay." Robert Russell, in attempting to steal a ride on a freight train on the Big Four Railroad bound for Chicago, was run over at the North Indianapolis station last night and probably will die. Russell, who came from Chicago three days ago to visit his uncle, Ben Powell, living at No. 533 Darnell street, went to the Big Four yards at North Indianapolis in the hope of catching the night freight for Chicago. The train pulled in and Russell ran for It. As the train was starting out his fet slipped and he was dragged underneath the wheels. An am bulance was called and Dr. Frank Kennedy txok Russell to the City Hospital, where both forelegs were amputated. Russell had a gold watch and $27. HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS DISCORD BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND POPULISTS IN FIRST DISTRICT. Coal Mine Superintendent Snys There Are Too Many Bosses and Serfs in Ills Industry. I Lucius C. Embree, one of the most promi nent Republicans of the First district, was in town yesterday. He came up from his home at Princeton on a brief business trip. He was a candidate for the nomination for Lieutenant Governor before the state con vention two years ago. He and his friends have an eye on the federal district judge ship to be vacated by Judge John H. Bak er's resignation. Mr. Embree thinks the Republican opportunities for victory in the First district this fall are very good. The Democrats of the district are not har monious. They are less harmonious since the nomination of John Vv Spencer, of Evansville, for Congress. Mr. Spencer has been a gold Democrat, and it is said he has twitted the Populistic element unmercifully. Mr. Embree says he understands that the Populists of the district are dissatisfied with the selection the Democrats have made for Congress and they are consider ing the advisability of bringing out a can didate of their own. Two years ago when Colonel Owen, of Mount Vernon, ran against Mr. Hemenway he received the Populistic vote. Colonel Owen was de feated by something over a hundred. Mr. Embree says it is felt by the Repub licans of the district that Mr. Hemenway has a better chance of being elected this time than he did before. There is no doubt of the popularity of Mr. Hemenway in the district and all over the State. For some time there have been rumors connecting his name with the gubernatorial nomination in two years. There seems to be a sentiment in the dis trict that he will be a candidate, and there is much favorable comment on these rumors. TOO MANY BOSSES AND SERFS. Coal Mine Superintendent Talks of the Mining: Industry. George Harrison, superintendent of the Wainwrlght Coal Company's mining prop erty near Wellston, O., is at the Denison Hotel. He has been assisting the I., D. & YV. Railway Company in locating coal mines in Parke county. The company is of opinion that there is plenty of coal In that county and if it finds it in sufficient quantities it will run a track from its main line to the mines. Harrison has been engaged in coal min ing since he was eight or nine years old. He is in sympathy with the strikers in the anthracite region, but believes the con test will be fougnt to the bitter end. He thinks that both miners and operators are responsible for the conditions in the an thracite region. "There are too many bosses and too many serfs." he said. He related an instance of a miner who would contract with the operator to mine so much coal for so much pay. The miner would then employ some men to do the work and make enough profit out of the job to take a trip to Europe. De Pauvr University Prosper. Dr. H. A. Gobin. president of De Pauw University, who was at the Spencer House last night, predicts that the coming school year will be a prosperous and successful one for De Fauw. "Our freshman class is likely to be one of the largest we have ever had," he said. Many improvements are being made at the college. Dr. Gobin says that on account of the contemplated large attendance at the school and the new tin plate mills that are being built there, Green castle promises to be a very busy place. Some persons who want to send their chil dren to De Fauw desire to take up their residence at Greencastle. and it is feared there will not be sufficient vacant houses to accommodate them. Besides the tin-plate mills will bring a good many people to the town. Affairs of the PopnlUU. C. M. Walter, of Rossville, secretary of the Fopulist state committee, who was in town yesterday, says the Populists will hold a convention at Sullivan Aug. 14 to nom inate a candidate for Congress. State Chair man Robinson will speak at the convention and Alonzo Burkhardt, of Tipton, will make an address. Secretary Walter says the Populists will nominate county tickets all over the State. In the Second district there is complaint among the Populists that Representative Miers is "carrying water on both shoulders." ' Army Board Here To-Morrovr. The management of the Denison received word from Chicago yesterday that the board of army officers that is to come here and consider plans for the sale of the arsenal property and Investigate the opportunities for securing a site for an army post, will arrive to-morrow. A let ter from Col. William McCaskey, Twentieth Infanty, senior member of the board, an nounced that the officers would stay at the Denison. Coloney McCaskey will be accompanied by his wife. Examination of Alternate Middles. On Aug. 11, in this city, the alternate midshipmen appointed by the Indiana sen ators under the provisions of the new naval act will be examined. Each senator appoints one principal and five alternates. Herman E. Welt, of Terre Haute, G. Pur vis, of Kokomo, and James J. Jacobs, of Crawfordsville, have signified their ac ceptances to become alternates at the in vitation of Senator Beveridge. Bereridce Not GoIiir to St. Paul.

The Philippine bill, the isthmian canal ana Oriental trade possibilities are some of the topics to be discussed at this meeting. Sen ator Beveridge's Western trip will not be finished In time for him to accept the invi tation. Alexandria Counrllmen Here. The light committee of the Alexandria City Council took dinner at the Grand Hotel last night. The committee was here yesterday investigating the system of light ing the public parks. HIS YOUTH AGAINST HIM. Teacher tn Acton IIIkIi School Con testing for Ills Position. W. A. S wails, who was appointed recent ly teacher in the high school at Acton, was before County Superintendent Landls and the County Board of Education yesterday to answer the charge of being too young to fill the position to which he has been ap pointed. Swails is twenty-one years old and has taught three terms of school in Shelby county. He was appointed teacher of the Acton High School by Township Trustee Brown, and thirty-one of the seventy-three patrons signed a remonstrance against him. Swails fought for his appoint ment and yesterday was present with W. W. Spencer to defend him. Spencer tangled up the remor.s-trators with a fire of ques tions that caused no little confusion. Trus tee Brown said he would stick to Swails because the young man was qualified and had grit and ambition. Three .Men in a Flnht. David Stringer made an attempt on the life of Raymond Newell last night and in so doing aroused the neighborhood at Six teenth and Martlndale avenue. Stringer went home and found Newell standing at his front gate.. Newell had been talking with Stringer's wife, and Strinser objected.

It combines everything found elsewhere, except the ocean, and a vast deal found nowhere else, not even at the seaside. As a substitute for the ocean and its beaches and breezes, Yellowstone Lake, 7,700 feet above the ocean. 20 miles long. 16 miles wide, mountain-walled and pure and clear as crystal, proves extremely satis factory. The Geysers, Hot Springs and Grand Can yon form the most unique set of attractions found at any summer resort on earth, while the wonderful terraces at Mammoth Hot Sprincs. stand alone in the world for their exquisite beauty of -color and refinement of ornamentation. Vats of boiling clay, lakes of mud. a cliff of natural glass, a mountain of sulphur, a natural bridge, are additional features not found elsewhere. Mountains and mountain air lend their attractions, wild animals roam free and harmless over the wide domain, trout are plentiful in the streams and lakes, cascades and waterfalls are found everywhere, and hotels, large, electric-lighted, steam-heated, attractivly placed, are scattered throughout the Park for the accommodation of Won derland travelers. For a spot remote from the noise, bustle, heat, dirt and sultriness of cities, and where nature is not only seen in new and uncon ventional attire, but coolness, comfort, pleasure and recreation are all combined, this sanctuary among the mountains for both man and beast, is the one among all on earth to be sought during the hot months of summer. The right way to reach this Wonderland of pure delight and unique sights is via the Northern Pacific and Livingston to Mam moth Hot Springs, the capital of the Park. Pullman cars run clear to the park boun dary. Apply to any agent of Northern Pacific for Information and send 6 cents to CHAS. S. FEE, General Passenger Agent, St. Paul, Minn., for "Wonderland 1902."
