Weissert Reviews the Work of the Year. THE NEXT ENCAMPMENT CITY. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 6.— The tanks are thinning, the old soldiers from everywhere, after three days and nights of reminiscences and messing.ure returning to the farm, the shop and the store. The exodus began tonuht, and by tomorrow morning there will be a big gap in the rank and file. From this time until tne close of the twenty-sev enth annual encampment on Friday next is no longer pleasure for the many, but business for the few. This was an other night of electrical illumination and sight-seeing for all visitors, the beautiful display at Monument square attracting thousands. Receptions were held in many private homes, and the various ieunions were continued beside many camp fires that were held in halls and churches throughout the city. A notable reception was that given by tiie department of Indiana W. R. C. from 8 to 11 o'clock, at the state capitol build- CAPT. J. O. B. ADAMS. Ing. The question of the disposition of the Grant cottage at McGregor will come before the encampment. Some months ago it was decided thnt the national encampment would no longer supply a 2ustodian for the cot tage, but would turn it over to the New York encampment. The New York de partment, however, objects to this, and Past Commander-in-Chief Palmer said today that it was due to the giver of the f round and cottage that the national encampment either control it or deed it back. Tomlinson hall, when the encamp ment met this morning, was maenifi cently decorated with flowers and pat liotic designs, Gov. Matthews, iv be lialf of the state of Indiana, welcomed the veterans, and Mr. Sullivan per formed the like service for the city, while Col. Eli Lilly, chairman* of the executive committee, added a few words to what the others had said. Commander-in-Chief Weissert made the response in behalf of the G. A. X., and ihe encampment then went into execu tive session to hear the reports of the ofiicers. The report and address of the com mander-in-chief, Weissert, was deliv ered this afternoon. In an introductory Way, he reviewed the PKOGKhss OP THE ORDER during the past year, and made an ap propriate ailusion to the death during {hat time of two illustrious comrades, Rutherford B. Hayes and Benjamin F. Butler. Continuing, he' said: "While our leaders aru fast passing sway, there has been an unusually large death loss ameng the rank and file of those who carried the gun and knapsack during the late war, and post charters throughout the order have been repeatedly draped with the in signia of mourning. The loss by death in the G. A. R. during the last year is 7,002. This is in excess of any previous annual mortuary return. Add to the figures the estimated loss among veter ans not members of the order, amonnt ing by a conservative estimate to 7,500, we have a total loss by deatli among the Union veterans of 14.502. In the returns for December, 1892, there was an increase of 3.000 over the June previous in sood standing, and a larger increase was con fidently looked lor in June, but the de sired result was not obtained. After earnest efforts made by headquarters to increase the membership iv good stand ing, a loss from June, 1892, of over 2,000 must be reported. The determination to weed out all members who are prac tically a dead weight to the order, to gether with the pressure in financial matters, throughout the country, from ©fiicial reports, largely the cause. lam pleased, however, to be able to report •the delinquent list for the same period reduced by almost 4,000. The total membership of the G. A. K. is 443,554, cf which o'JT.S^a are in good standing, sus pended, 41,001; by delinquent reports. 4,070. The eaiu by muster during the past year is 24,954.

The commander-in-chief said there were tour posts of the G. A. H. in Can ada, one in the city of Mexico, one in Honolulu, and he had received applica tion for one in Lima, republic of Peru. Dining the year just closed there have been more calls for relief than in years past, and the same was liberally given. The ofticial reports show that 1177,845.25 was disbursed Oy the Various posts on the work. The Women's Relief Corps has distributed for the relief of comrades, the families of destitute com rades and the widows and Qipnafis tne •tun of $58,620.37; Uinounl turned over to posts iarlng the year, $04.4CC.39; amount for Memorial day, £ 14,331. 36, making a total amount expended foi M t relief since organization of f842.929.99.

New York, Sept. 6.— The bankers snd operators in stocks and bonds are much interested just now in the ques tion of time money, and there is a de cided variety of opinion on the subject. A well-known and conservative bro ker said today: "Time money is un doubtedly now in sight, ana call money promises to be eesy— in fact, fairly easy now. Of course, money will not be a drug in the market until the clear ing house certificates are retired, but the time when their retirement will be begun is evidently not very far distant. Many things are combining now to make money plentiful simultaneously with the repeal of the Sherman law. Super fluous currency is being returned from the West. Country banks, which were impressed with the idea that they would need large sums, kept all the money they got and got all they could, borrow ing as much as possible from their agents to meet possible and expected emergencies. In this way they drew down their balances in this city. It fol lows, therefore, that these country banks are- much better prepared than usual to provide money for the removal of the crops, to say nothing of the expedients that have been re sorted to, such as certified checks, clear ing house certificates, etc., to eke out the money supply. Consequently, the demand on the banks of this city for money to move the crops Is likely to be much lighter than usual. That is shown by the fact that the banks report this week a very slight demand for redis counts. Then; too. the banks in the New England and Middle: states are finding that -■ j they "^ travel no use - for _ .their . large ; supplies of cash on hand, and are tiring of keep ing so much money lying idle. Under the law, they are permitted to keep part of their reserve on deposit with ap pioyed agents In reserve, and they are taking advantage of that provision again to send money to this city and receive interest on it. The savings banks are also finding that they have more money on hand than they " are likely to need, and much of that will quickly find its way back "tb" the banks. Ex change between New YorK and the lead ing cities is becoming normal again, and the business blockade' is therefore practically over, so that every indication points to money being very plentiful in this city in a very short time. The banks have practically all got their legal reserve, and, as their deposits in crease, no doubt the loan certificates will be retired. MILLS MOVING. Encouraging Reports From Many .;•; \>~\ Places.

ROCKEFELLER'S ATTORNEY CONFIRMS THE MINiNG DEAL. New York, Sept. 6— John D. Rocke feller's attorney, Mr. Murray, today put a finishing touch to the last preliminary agreement which makes an accom plished fact of the Lake Superior Con solidated iron mines, a combination con trolling nine-tenths of all the iron ore produced in the United States, with a cash capital of $30,000,000 and a reserve of $100,000,000 more 111 aggregate prop erty. These statements are made on authority of Leonidas Merritt, one of the Merritt brothers, who. control the Mesaba range iron mines. Mr; Merritt came to this city jnorCthan three months, ago to. bring about the agreement by which the syndicate has sprung into existence, lie, as well as his brothers In Dulutb, have created themselves trustees to represent one " interest, while C. W. Wetmore and F. T. # Gates, the private secretary of of J. D. Rockefeller, represent the other. - Mr. Merritt was seen this after noon by a reporter, he said: "The Lake Superior consolidated mines have be come a corporation. That such an en terprise was under way lias been well known among iron men for more than a month, but the end was not reached until today. John I). Rockefeller, the Wetmores and Merritts are in it, but the report that Colgate Hoyt and Will iam C. Whitney control shares is not true. The trust is organized by taking over a majority interest in tr.e stock from eleven to fourteen, Meaaba range mines on a valuation basis of $17,000, --000, the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern road and its ore docks at this city at &20,000,000,.md the Rockefeller interests in the Colby group of Gogebic range mines in Michigan and Wisconsin, and the same interests in tne Spanish- American group of mines on the east coast of Cuba. Other properties will go in, and the company will control the steel barge fleet of .twenty-five whale back steamships and barges for the ore trade, and receiving docks at Conneaut, (_)., and railroad facilities forgetting ore from there to Eastern furnaces. The company has made an agreement to maintain a standard of prices. These will be such as to preclude the possibility of competition by. the deep, "hard ore mines of the older .ranges. "This consolida tion will mean such a saving in shipping by rail and by water, in insurance and iv other expenses that it will insure us a profit of £2.05 on the ton. No other company, not even the foreign ones, if the tariff of 75 cents should be rescinded, can compete. If we chose to lower the price to such a level, it would result in the complete prostration of all the other mines in the country. Tins is not our intention, however; on the contrary, we prefer to keep the price for the ton at $4.50, thus enabling private concerns to make a small margin. This may sound like the dream of a Western financier, but 1 assure you that the figures bear it out-" ' — > MINNESOTA IN IT. F. A. Squires, of Blue Earth, Re ceives Several Awards.

At the afternoon session, after the roll call, the meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. R. A. Carnahan, after which President Goodrich deliv ered his address. lv this he referred to the trouble which had come up daring the year,and expressed a hope that it would soon blow over. The trouble appears to have arisen from dissatisfaction on the Dart of some of the members with the rulings of the officers on matters connected with the society. The members who have resigned appear to think that the offi cers were too arbitrary,but the majority seem to be with the officers, and the affair will no doubt be settled to the sat isfaction of all. An excellent pro gramme has been arranged, and many live subjects will be discussed at every session by men who are capable of talk- DR. C. H. STEKN", OF ZUMBKOTA, WANTS A DENTISTS' JOURNAL. ing about things dental. In his very able address, the president further said: "The programme of the meeting: should be published and a copy placed in every dentist's hands in the state a full month before the date of meeting. In this particular, 1 think the executive committee could do a little missionary work among themselves. By the per formance of this duty it will enable the active practitioners to have plenty of time to arrange for the meeting, to note and look up the subjects which are to appear before the meeting in the shape of papers' and lectures, and to make other arrangements for the enjoyment of the meeting as he may elect. Q lt should be the duty of every mem ber to be thouroughly familiar with the programme and its contents, so that the meeting will be full of vigor and learning. Ido not believe that it is proper to take up the time of a society, limited to an average of six hours per day for three days, by tue reading of scientific papers on the deyelopement of elephants' teeth and kindred sub jects, when there is so much to talk about the human . teeth and the human oral cavity. The papers on such sub jects spoken •of should be written and published that the active practitioner thaiy read them and digest them at his leisure. > ; - :; -^fS The state of Minnesota should have a dental journal for the publication of the proceedings of the dental societies within its borders. There are now four active dental societies in this state, viz.: The Minnesota Dental association,' the Southern Minnesota Dental association, the St. .Paul Dental society and the Min neapolis Dental society. Here is enough activity, it- seems -to me, for the maintenance -of , a dental ■ journal, bnt should this prove to be more ot an arduous task than one would care to undertake, it might be well to have an understanding with gome one of M YOUR CHOICE OF 100 BOOKS Written by the Best Authors.

ORTOX, MASTER OP CLINICS. a journal or pamphlet containing min utes of some dental meeting in the state, which would be the means of getting a stronger fraternity for this state than any other means which could be adopted. 1 have often thought that a sort of dental chautauqua" could be estab lished by a dental society, a series of questions could be formulated and sent out by a committee appointed for that purpose. A certain number of the questions to be answered Dy the 10th of eacA month, tke answers then to be compiled into a series of papers, to be read and discussed by the society at its annual meeting ;it seems to me that some such an arrangement as this would make a system of study and work which would greatly facilitate the workings of the executive commif.ee in preparing a programme for the meeting, and would stimulate each one of us into investiga tion and study, which could be done leisurely throughout the year. This would benefit us by bringing us into i|§S DIl. C. W. .TONES. CHAIRMAN EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE. contact with subjects that we would not otherwise look up or think about." DISCUSSING TUB ADDKES9. Dr. C. A. Van Duzee, of St. Paul, led the discussion of the president's paper in the afternoon. This laated for some time, Dr. Van Duz?e taking the address part by part and discussing the advisability of adopting certain amend ments su^gestinfi by tho president. Tnis was followed by a short business session, in which Drs. M. A. Knapp and T. J. Tipper were unanimously elected members of the society. Dr. C. 11. Stern, of Znm brota, Minn, spoke at some length -on the desirability of establishing a local paper, to be published in the interests of the pro fession. He set forth many very ex cellent reasons why some action should be taken at once in this matter, and that what he said \va9 tho sentiment of the convention as a whole was proven when the doctor proposed that a com mittee of five be appointed to draw up some plan for the conduct of such paper, and the proposition was carried by a unanimous vote. Dr. Goodrich, in addition -to all the wise suggestions that ho made in his address, also made ono more idccmi niendation at this point, namely: that a committee be appointed to consider tho advisability of forming an association of OJS.
