Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind April 20.-Press-
dent Purcell and Secretary Kennedy, of the
United Mine Workers, have decided that
the miners in this State will fare best by
not having conference with the operators
before the last days of the month. and for
that reason have responded to the request
OF the operators for joint meeting by fix
ing the date for April 90. The operators
had hoped for a meeting this week The
miners officials say that it would be wrong
for Indiana to step to the front with an
agreement before other States have adopted
wage scale. as Indiana has the least out
put of any of the States in the competitive

War of Rival Circuses.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, April 20.-Two
circuses are billed for this city one week
apart and the rivalry INDUCED in by the
advertising agents was never equaled here
Bill boards occupy space along all roads
leading here, barns and fences are covered
for miles in every direction with flaming
posters. In the city the work of the rival
bill posters is marvellous. Yesterday it
seemed that every available space had
been used. But the bill posters work last
night made transformation. On blank
walls, windows of business houses, along
the corniceS of business houses appear the
mammoth show bills. Even the windows of
the new courthouse, excepting office rooms,
are filled with flaming announcements.
Banners also stretch across the streets.
Complimentary tickets have been given out
by the hundreds and much of the crowd to
attend the shows will be made of dead
heads

representative concerning the specula-

''They will not be affected in the
least. Governor Mckinley has more
friends in Ohio now than he ever had
before, and he has more in all the other
states of the Union. This talk about a
divided Ohio delegation in the national
Republican convention is all bosh.
More than that, it is all lie. The Re-
publicans in this state are true to Nc
Kinley, or their convention platform is
a farce. Do you suppose a state that
holds so proud place as Ohio can af-
ford to be false? Ohio will send solid
