POpULIsTs WILL USE MONEY.
Meeting to Discuss Plans to Supply 1t
for Next Camnaign.


for Next Campaign.
The Populists over the State have arrived
at the conclusion that the almighty dollar
in considerable quantity will be required for
their crusade of 1896. This is the quest of
the solemn-looking crowd of craftsmanship
gentlemen who Swarmed about the Hobbies
of the English Hotel last night. The Pop
ulist State central committee and advisory
conference of Peoples party men begins
this morning, and forty or fifty of the chief
reformers are already here. The main OBJ
ject of the meeting is to devise a plan by
which the pocketbook of the Populist can
be reached. At a preliminary meeting held
last night this problem was discussed. n.
r. Butts, of Randolph county, chairman
of the State central committee, presided.
The session was private and only those
ulists say that $4,000 must be raised be-
fore the opening of the next presidential
campaign, and nothing short OF that amount

One ardent advocate of Peoples party
principles from a southern county suggested
that a contribution of 10 cents a. month be
turned in by every Populst in the State
and one that would not impose burden
upon the purse of the glver. This plan will
be submitted to the conference at its meet
ing to be held to-day. Charlton Bull, of
Howard county, has plan by which he
thinks many misguided members of the
great parties can be gathered in. He wants
to hold a political institute in every county
in the State. Well-informed Populists will
deliver lectures before these institutes and
Will endeavor to teach the people the
science of government according to the

TRAGIC DEATH OF HIS son.
DIR. NnickerbacI<er's Son Killed by
Train His Father Was On.

Train His Father Was On.
Mrs. Knickerbacker has been in delicate
health for many years. The shock Incl
dent to the early demise of her two little
daughters and the subsequent tragic death
of her little son. was of such severe char
acter that she has never entirely recov-
cred. Twenty years ago, when Bishop
Knickerbacker was at the head of the
church in Minneapolis his family consisted
of his wife, a son aged ten years and two
daughters of tender age. One of the little
girls fell a victim to scarlet fever and
died after few weeks illness. Mrs. Knick-
erbacker was so Frustrated over the death
of her daughter that her husband thought
it best to send her East among the friends
of her girlhood. The mother went TO Con-
necticut accompanied by her remaining
daughter. About the same time the Bishop,
then Dr. Knickerbacker. departed for the
West on mission work among the Indians.
He went West at the solicitation of Bishop
Whipple, of the diocese of Minnesota, who
was at that time connected in religious
way with the Department of the Interior.
Mrs Knickerbacker reached her Eastern
home safely, but had been there but a
short time when her little daughter
attacked with diphtheria and despite the
most careful attention, died from the effects
of the disease. Broken in spirit and health
the mother started for Minneapolis alone
with the body OF her child. Dr. knicker-

the same time. Mrs. Knickerbacker reached

deferred the burial of the child until the
arrival of the father During the absence
of the parents the little son had been cared
for by friends and Mrs. Knickerbacker,
on her return, found the little fellow in
the best of health. Two days later he met
a tragic death, the shadow of which has
since rested upon the mother When the
train that carried DIR. Knickerbacker to his
wife and dead child drew into the station
at Minneapolis there was abrupt stop
and a sudden confusion among the passen-
gers. Some said there had been an
accident and Or. Knickerbacker left the

to the front of the train and pushed his
about the track. In the features of the

Feb. "A, which would bring it within the
ten days required by the statute. Mr.. Cof-

AFTER THE OHIO LAW.
Talk of "a Similar Bill for Indiana be-
neYnIent Institutions.

nevOIent Institutions.
There was talk last night about the hote is
that the Legislature would pass bill SIM
liar to the Ohio statute, regulating the con-
troll of the benevolent institutions. The Ohio
law provides for bipartisan boards of four
members, two from each party. The aim,
legislators say, is to find some way that
would make the boards non-part isan. Nom
partisan control is the end desired, lit the
method presents many difficulties that have
not been overcome. There was practical
unanirnity among those discussing the prob
lem that civil service rules in which proba-
tionary periods should figure largely, should
be established in whatever form OF manage
ment. Under DR.. Fletcher, the internes
were appointed only upon probation, and II
a the end of the period their records We're
satisfactory, they were confirmed.
The medical gentlemen interested in the
hospitals for the insane are talking or a
law for authorizing much freer right than
prevails now for study of causes OF lnSan-
ity. DIR. Fletcher was noted for his sc1en-
tific researches while at the hospital
post norton would invariably folfow the
death of any patient who was not claimed.
in the hope of adding something TO tue sum
of human knowledge of this subject Inc
internes had a pathological society when
was conducted quietly, but which resulted
in important information from the d1s-
closures of the autopSies. The bill proposed,
if it becomes a law. will encourage this orig
inal investigation and will give the doctors
immunity from interference from OUTSIDERS.

THE H. LIEBER COMPANY,
SO South Meridian Street.

The County Commissioners yesterday
morning decided to grant the Greenwood
Electric Line Company a right of way from
the city limits south on the old Madison
State road TO the county limits. This action
was determined upon as result of the de-
mands of farmers living in the southern
part of the county. The road over which the
right of way is granted is bat fifty feet
wide, and the grant allows the company ten
feet of this. Ii has been found that the
fences of many OF the farmers extend into
the public highway and these will have to
be removed. The township In which Green
wood IN located has voted tau to the en-
terprise and 1t is probable work will begin
on the road I'm the spring.
