indianapolis Methodist Preachers, Meetin

indianapolis Methodist Preachers Meeting.
The Methodist preachers of the city met yes
terday morning at the First German Church,
DR.. Alabaster in the chair. There were present,
Revs. Marine, Alabaster, Gillett Lynch, bod
bridge, Rawlins, Duncan, johnson, Asbury,
Clancey Hammond, Schaal, Hem, Wells, Waid
and Bright.
According to announcement, DR.. Marine gave
his valediotory. He chose for his subject,
Ministers Relation to Politics and the Temper
ance Reform" Among other things, he said that
when preachers preached against slavery, po-
litical party protested when loyal pulpits spoke
against treason and rebellion, a political party
set up the cry of political preaching, and, now,
when preachers attack intemperance political
party is found to champion that cause. The po-
litical party has got between the pulpit and
the devil and the preachers cannot stop shooting
because of their position. Preaching politics is
the cry of ignorance criminality.
DR.. Lynch followed in characteristic speech,
after which DR.. Alabaster gave his inaugural
Topic for next Monday morning, "Duplicity in
Church Finances. S. T. Gilett and j. H.
Doddridge were appointed to lead.

Dogs Digging D epiy For Drink.

For years tue water question has
been conundrum on the plains of Ari-
zona and Southern California. 1t is well
known that some of the land on the
desert is Of the best quality. and would
produce the best crops in the world II 2
rain would fall and water were plentiful
enough for irrigation. This problem
has been solved by a South American
gentleman who has travelled over most
Of the world. He has been in this city
for the past few days, and a reporter Of
the Los Angeles Times, learning through
a third party that he had made dis
coVery, called upon him and gathered
the following facts: 1t seems that the
gentleman was travelling in dry part
OF South America about eighteen
months ago, all alone, looking for a new
range for stock. He had journeyed
about thirty miles from water, and was
beginning to get used up, when he DIS
covered one of those green spots on the
desert that makes the lonely travellers
heart feel light. On nearer approach he
saw that there was town of small an
imals, similar to the prairie dog of this
country. They had mounds all around
the green spot, and seemed to be very
numerous. When he rode up among
them they all scampered into their holes,
but soon came out again and became
quite tame. He rode up to the spring
or well and found it to be an excellent
quality Of water. After quenching his
thirst he began to look around and in
vestigate the new camp: The strangest
thing that his attention was called to
was the similarity Of the hole from
which the water flowed to the holes
made by the dogs. The spring flowed
from the entrance Of mound just the
same as that in which the dogs lived,
but it was much larger, and on the top
was a large basin. Noticing this fact,
and knowing that water was a great
distance off, he began an investigation,
and came to the conclusion that the
little dogs had bored the well. Acting
upon this decision he captured two Of
them and started for his ranch. On ar
irving there pen was made in dry
place and the little fellows put In it. In
few days the work began. They
worked very rapidly, and soon had a
hole fifty or sixty feet deep. They
seemed to be able to penetrate the har-
dest kind of soil, as they kept right on,
stopping for nothing. One would work
in the bottom of the hole while the
other brought the dirt to the top. On
the fifth day they seemed to be exhaus-
ted, and he gave them some water.
This stopped work for several days, but
they soon got thirsty and went to work
as hard as ever. On the morning Of
the eighteenth day they both came up
with a rush, followed by stream Of
water. How deep they had gone it was
impossible to tell as the hole was not
straight.
