Class CONFIRMED.

Rush City, Minn., Oct. 2.-Rush City
was yesterday honored with an event
which will linger in pleasant memory
for long time. 1t was the administra-
tfon of the sacrament of confirmation
to eighty persons, forty-five boys and
thirty five girls, from Franconia, North
Branch, Wyoming and Rush City.
Father Bajec has for a long time been
busy educating the large class to the
proper understanding of catechismal
duties and Christian knowledge, and
the announcement that Archbishop
Ireland would properly set them on the
road Of Christian duty brought out an
immense gathering of all denomina-
tlons. The church, one of the largest
in the county, was beautifully decorat-
ed with autumn's fairest foliage, pre-
senting most inviting, impressive
and inspiring appearance. The arch
bishop was assisted by Father Jaeger
Of Marshall and the local pastor.

New York, Oct. 9. - The Brooklyn
Eagle says:
"There will he an Independent DEM
ocratic state ticket in the field. 1t is
not only probable. but it is virtually
certain, that it will be headed by the
name of Charles s. Fairchild. Nomi-
nations for lieutenant governor and
judge of the court of appeals will also
be made. The men other than Mr..
Fairchild who will go upon this state
ticket will be chosen, as Mr.. Fairchild
already has been, by the accordant
voices Of the leaders and the followers
of the Independent Democracy of the
State of New York. The financial re-
sources requisite for Il state campaign
of the most active character will not
be wanting, for such IL campaign will
be limited to the wholesome, direct,
simple, single and not necessarily ex-
pensive work of forming and aligning
the already aroused, earnest and i'm
placable Democratic hosts of independ-
ence and reform in every county In
the state.
''Since the adjournment of the ma
chine convention at Saratoga the new
movement may be said to have organ
lied itself. Reform Democrats from
all parts of the state were in confer
ence during most of yesterday and
have been in conference to-day in
New York with Charles s. Fairchild,
Edward NJ. Shepard, Oswald Often
dorfer, Carl Schurz and other repre-
sentative reform Democrats, among
whom have been those responsibly con-
nected with the leading metropolitan
newspapers upon the situation of at
fairs as they are. Ex-Mayor Grace ar
rived from Europe last night and took
part in the conference then going on,
as he has also taken part In those 60
ing on to-day. The leaders were at
first hesitant about the extent to which
opposition to the Hill-Murphy machine
might 60. In less than a day they
found that If they did not lead their
followers, their followers would run
over them, and they did not propose
to be run over.
''AdviceS from every one of the elec-
tion district organizations of the state
Democracy in New York and of the
Independent Democracy in Kings
county, as well as from the organiza-
tions known as the Cleveland Democ-
racy in Troy, Rochester, Buffalo. Os-
wego and other cities, were unani-
mously to the effect that the plain
people have put their war paint on and
are determined to occupy no position
OF merely passive objection in the poll
tics of this year. There will not be
complete state ticket, with complete
state committee of representatives of
each congressional district; but there
will be independent Democratic nom-
fnatfons for the assembly in various
counties. 1t is too late, under the state
law, to hold state convention in a
formal sense. Time enough exists,
however, for the assemblage of a con-
ference, and for what is called ticket
by petition or application. The con-
ference Of independent and reform
Democrats will meet toward the last
OF this week or the first of next week,
probably in Syracuse or New York"

SUGAR MEN INDICTED

Indictments Are Returned Against
Henry o. Havemeyer and John

Washington, Oct. ). - The grand
Jury today brought in indictments
against Henry q. Havemeyer and
John L. Searles. of the Sugar Trust.
and Allen l.. Seymour. of the stock
brokerage firm of Seymour l. Young,
tor refusal to answer questions put to
them by the senate sugar trust investt-
eating committee. The grand jury
also brought in an Indictment against
Mr.. Mccartney, of the firm of Carson
4 Mccartney: this last, however,
merely being to perfect u previous re-
port. All OF the cases will come up
FOR argument on demurrcrs ON Oct,
IL.
The indictments each cover twenty
eight pages Of large type-written
sheets. The history of the sugar sched-
ule of the tariff bill IL rehearsed in
the contents. These indictments DIFF
fer somewhat from the others from
the fact that the pertinency Of the
questions are somewhat further re-
moved, and that two members of the
investigating committee held that the
questions which Havcmeycr and
Searles refused to answer were not
pertinent. The questions requested
the specific amounts contributed in
the different states to campaign funds,
and one point urged was that these
contributions We're not to national
campaign funds.
New indictments against J. w. Me-
Cartney of Washington and E. Il.
Chapman of New York were made for
the purpose of correcting the wording

says that the lives OF mOtnerS anu
fathers and sisters and brothers are at
stake and that their objection ought
to count for something. Added to the
sentimental objection Is the objection
that property in s.. Tammany, which
is valuable and desirable, will be very
much deprecated II the hospital Is to
be put in its vicinity. The land to be
affected is high ridge land. much OF
it planted in orange groves. II the
outside public ever come to believe
that this section Of st. Tammany Is
next door neighbor to . hospital Tor
the unclean, the entire surrounding
country will be affected and shunne \.
The swarms of flies and mosquitoes
which gather In the marshes and hang
about the old Fort Pike reservation are
not infrequently driven far into the
heart of St. Tammany by the strong
East winds. and with lepers for their
prey much of the time the chances OF
communication of the disease would
be very materially increased. The
water communication with Mississippi
towns requires large number Of craft
to pass in close proximity to the reser-
walton of Fort Pike. and not only Will
the lives of their crew be endangered
but they are not unlikely to be the
means of communicating the disease to
other sections, Is these schooners are
often becalmed for hours ut the Fort.
For these reasons Mr.. Murphy believes
that more attention and consideration
should be given. the matter. His
people are Overwhelmingly opposed to
. hospital At the Fort, and be will do
what he can to prevent its establish
ment there.-Daily States.
Major J. w. Scully, Of the Quarter
masters Department, does not believe
the Government will ever consent to
the use of the Fort Pike reservation for
other than military purposes, owing to
lte advantageous position In case OF
war.
STILL WORSE.
A writer in the Daily City Item sug-
rests that instead Of going to Fort
Pike, the leper hospital be located
"within half . mile Of the north shore
end of the Northeastern Railroad
bridge" He evidently wants to scat
ter smallpox and leprosy broadcast
throughout the land.
