THE LATE BISHOP TALBOT.
The Memorial Sermon to Be Preached March
9, By Bishop George f. Seymour.

The following correspondence has been fur
nished the Journal, and will explain itself:
To the Right Rev. George F. Seymour 5. 7. D.. LII.
D., Bishop of Springfield.
Dear Bishop Seymour-The standing commit
Tee OF tne diocese OF Indiana request yon to
preach the Bishop Talbot memorial sermon on
the day of the opening of our special convention
which has been summoned to meet at st. Pauls
Cathedral of Indianapolis, on Tuesday March 6.
The request is suggested by the knowledge OF
the nigh esteem in which you were held by our
Iate beloved diocesan and your reciprocal friend
sh1p-a friendship manifested on your part by
so cheerfully, acceptably, and at a cost OF so
much toll and travel, relieving him of work In
this diocese which the visitation Of sickness pre-
vented him from performing.
The selection of you, Right Reverend Father
to perform this Office of love to YOUR late brother
IN the Eplscopate Will meet with the hearty ap-
proval and concurrence of every parish of our
stricken diocese | am, with great respect,
JOHN B. WAKEFIELD,
President Standing Committee Division of Indi-
ana.

REPLY.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 1888.
My Dear DR.. Wakefield President Standing Commit
tee etc, Diocese of Indiana.
Your official note requesting me, on behalf of
the standing committee of your diocese, to
preach at the opening of your approaching con-
Vention, called for March next ensuing, mem
oral sermon commemorative of the late Bishop
IalDot, reached me last evening.
cannot decline an honor thus gracefully ten
0ered me by your standing committee, because
1t involves a sacred duty. / beg through YOU
dear brother, to thank your committee for turn
ing to me IN Your hour of distress, since it marks
your appreciation of my veneration for Bishop
Talbot and my sincere sympathy with you and
your afflicted diocese in your bereavement. You
Will allow me to add that | would have felt
more comfortable if your choice for a
preacher on this occasion had fallen upon an
older bishop, and one more intimate with Bishop
Talbot in his earlier official life. 1 regret, more
over, that my days and nights between this date
and the 9th of next March are crowded with en-
gagements in my own diocese, and more largely
with official duty in Indiana.
Please present my respects to the members Of
your standing committee, and believe me, with
sincere respect and fraternal regard, faithfully
yours, GEORGE f. SEYMOUR.

INDIANoLA INUNDATED.

At midnight no measurement could be made,
but the water was higher than in 1875, and was
rushing over the National road. All Indianola
is under water, and the houses are flooded
People living over there moved out yes
terday afternoon and abandoned their
homes to the waters. From the Washington
street bridge as far as can be seen to the west
and northwest the country is flooded and there is
yet no indication Of the water subsding In
some OF the houses it is three feet deep, and in
many eighteen inches deep. 1t is impossible
now to tell what damage has been done or
what il yet likely to be done, but the flood
is certain to be very disastrous.
Fortunately, however, no lives have yet been
lost The only means of reaching the houses is
by skiffs, and these were called into use for
saving household goods yesterday. The losses
will fall mostly upon lobOrlng men who live in
IndianOa. The grain elevators are several feet
under water and the street-car stables are
under with the rest. Even il the water subsidies
without doing any further damage. it Will leave

Already several important subjects have
been suggested for the consideration of the
stockmen's meeting TO assemble here March
2Sth-2sth. The question of employing in
spectors To be stationed at the stock yards
OF Kansas City and st. Louis will be con-
sidered. The advisaDility of Offering re-
wards for the detection and prosecution of
cattle thieves will be discussed. The de
tails OF the roundup must be arranged.
These questions will come before the meet
ing.
Then the different stockmen present will
want TO compare notes as to many details
OF their business; profit by each others ex-
perience in selecting breeding stock; pool
their forces for the range work. and hun
dred other things that only the busy minds
Of Stockmen can think of.
Ii will be TO stockmen what state conveu-
tons are TO politicians; what conferences
and associations are TO the preachers; what
country fairs are to the farmers what
military gathering are to the old soldiers.
Medicine Lodge will open her heart for
all, and none need feel that they will not
be welcome. Those at n distance who are
accidentsy overlooked in the distribution
Of invitations must come anyway. Every
one will be welcome.

There isnO question now about the stock
meeting TO be held here on the 2Sth. and
29th- inst, being largely attended by not
only our county sTOckmen, but by many
persons from distance. who are desirons
of brcoming acquainted with the stock in
terests OF the Southwest. with view of EN-
gaging in the business. Spectators and
capitalists will be here looking at the
country, and there will be railway mag
mates who will be feeling the public pulse
on the subject of railroad extension. The
newly organized Cherokee strip Live
Stock Association will have representatives
here to consult with the meeting as to the
best time for commencing the spring
round up. Altogether it will be- the most
important gathering of the season. Our
people have responded nobly. so far, when
called on for aid, and we believe the same
liberal spirit will be manifest to the end.
The committees who have the arrange
ments in charge are citizens who have the
interests of the town and county at heart,
and they should be aided by every citizen.
