THE HOMEwARD TRIP.
Tho Presidents Rsception In Indiana
ana Ohio.

SIDNEY, Oct. 13.-The special train
bearing President Harrison and party
pulled out of Indianapolis on Its re-
turn to Washington at 6 this morning.
The president spent last night aboard
his car, and as he arose this morning he
appeared much refreshed from the days
rest afforded him yesterday at Indian
apolis.
One of the greatest demonstrations Of
the day took place at Winchester to-
day, where several thousand people had
assembled. Every building IN the city
was decorated, even the telegraph poles
being adorned with the stars and stripes,
All felt that to-day was to be the try
ing ordeal of the trip. The states of
Indiana and Ohio were to be crossed,
and sch edule had been provided for
dozen brief stops to enable old friends
to have opportunities to greet the presi-
dent. The speeches that these occa-
sions would necessitate would be very
trying and would require the utmost
physical exertion.
An immense crowd assembled at An
derson, Ind, where the president M ade
u brief speech, referring to the rapid de-
vclopment of this region since the dis
covery and utilization OF natural gas
! and its greater advancement. lie spoke
OF the presence OF the school children.
and took occasion to speak good word
for the public schools.
When the city OF Muncie was reached
an i'm ,nen nse assembly congregated. The
president spoke at some length in re-
go rd to the growth of the country since
natural gas was discovered and SAID
| Sunlight will not more surely shed Its
beam on us this morning than this great
tide of prosperity which has set in
throughout this gas belt in Indiana
| shall go on increasing until all these
cities and towns within its radius are
full Of busy men AMI humming ma
chinery. What does all this mean2 lt
mes ms employ for men. 1t means
happy and comfortable homes for an
increasing population. 1t means an
increased home market Tor the
products Of your farms. 1t means that
| the farmer will have a choice OF crops,
and will have consumers for the perish
able products of his farm at his very
door / do not forget that your good
state sent to the war of the Union, in
gallant regiments, brave men to stand
| by the flag. Now let that love of the
iag be still uppcrmost in your hearts.
Nothing has pleased me more, as have
pa ssed through some of our Western
states than to see that the school chill
dren every where had starry flags In their
hands. Prolonged cheers. Let it be
so here and every where. Let them learn
! to love 1t, and to know its beauty, in
order that when the time of peril comes
they may be ready to defend It," PRO
longed applause,
THE SCHEDULE SHORTENED.
CREsTLIsE, Ohio, Oct. l3.-Short stops
were made at Lurne, Agasta and Marion,
but the president merely bowed to tho
cheering multitude from the rear of the

line was reached at 12:45. and brief
stop was made. The president received
IL message here saying that Justice Mill
er was sinking and could live but q few
hours. The schedule was SO shortened
that Pittsburg will be reached at 6 80 p.

ANoTHEE trial and change Of venue

it is probable that another capital con

bia conference for educational purposes.
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
have becn constituted one school dis
trict, with one college and academy, and
1t now devolves upon the board to select
q central location. For several years
past Milton academy, Umatilla
county, Oregon, has been their
only school in the North
west and has fiourished to such an extent
that more room and better facilities
have become necessary. 1t Is now pro-
posed either to enlarge the present
property or locate in the city which
offers the most liberal inducements
As one of the board stated, "Walla
Walla Is our choice" Several enter
prising business men of this city met
the above named visitors this forenoon,

pected that the matter will be definitely
settled.
A large and enthusiastic audience was
present at the grand republican rally at
Smalps opera-house this evening. The
principal speaker of the meeting was
Senator John b. Allen. Mr.. Aliens ad-
dress was long one, and was finely
delivered. He reviewed the good work
done by the republicans in the last se.-
sion of congress. He also eulogized
Congressman John l.. Wilson for his
untiring efforts in the interest of the
state of Washington. The republicans
of Walla Walla are solid here. Tho
leading democrats concede the election
of the republican legislative ticket. The
greatest fight is over the office of county
treasurer. X. e. Parks, the republican
candidate, has the lead.
