In case the weather should continue it
has been since Saturday and the streets
be too wet and muddy for the parade, this
part of the programme will be postponed
until Thursday evening The parade will
not be postponed if the streets are in a
reasonably good condition
The club is making great preparations
train will leave here about 1890 o'clock
over the Big Four and will return some
time Sunday, that those who go will
lose only one day from their work. The
fare will be 81 for the round trip. From
the number that have already signified
their intention of making the trip 1T now
seems that between three hundred and four
hundred riders will go from this city alone
to help swell the crowd of Canton pilgrims
next Saturday.
Saturday will be wheelmens day and it
is expected that more than twenty thou
sand of them will be in Canton to see the
next President. Reports from Chicago in
dictate that probably fifteen hundred Will
go from there and Cincinnati wheelmen re-
port a party of over six hundred ready to
start. All the wheelmen. except those from
places very near Canton, Will arrive in that
city early Saturday morning and Will spend
the entire day there A petition has been
sent from here to Chicago to Mr.. Dunn,
who has the arrangements in charge ask
ing that the Indiana delegation be given
the place of honor at the head of the pro-
cession Some good reasons were given
and it is thought likely that it will be con-
coded without argument. Some good speak
ers will be with the party and Will be pre-
pared in case this honor is granted, to
show that it was given to delegation
that was not unworthy the honor.

A Sensational Scene at TOm1inson
Hall Last Night Just Before Pat

A somewhat sensational incident oc-
Cured last evening at the Popocratic rally
at Tomlinson Hall. The Cleveland Club
was one of the organizations participating
in the demonstration and it carried the
same banner that did service four years
ago, bearing an oil portrait of the Presi-
dent. The club was greeted with cheers as
it entered the hall, but as soon as the
crowd noticed the portrait the cheers were
changed to Kisses and cat-calls, which
grew loud and furious as the club marched
around the hall. The banner was set upon
the stage and the confusion grew in vol

State Senator Thomas Patterson, of
Colorado, who is stamping the country in

were unable to pursue their street-corner
campaign last evening on account of the
damp weather.

EQUALS THE LONDON PLAGUE.
Fifteen Deaths from Diphtheria in
One Locality i'm One Week.

DR.. Hurry, secretary of the State Board
of Health yesterday received a letter from
DR.. b. B. Brannock, secretary of the Du-
bois county Board of Health. stating that
during the last week there had been fifteen
deaths from diphtheria and fifty cases of
the dread disease in the county. Most of
this is confined to Columbia township. DR..
Brannock expressed the opinion that the
disease was now under control and at
a standstill.
..Do YOU know" said DR.. Hurry, that
this is worse in it's destructiveness than the
famous London plague? In proportion to
the population it is fully as bad, if not
worse When DIR. Hurry made a trip TO
Orange and Dubois counties a few weeks
ago he gave a remarkable description of
the filthy condition in which some of the
people who had fallen victims to the plague
lived The health authorities of these two
counties were aroused TO acting, and in

THE GAS OUTLOOK.
Consumers Trust supply Will In
crease About SO Per Cent.

The prospects look bright for an ample
supply of fuel gas for Indianapolis during
the coming winter. the companies claim.
The CRY of short gas may be heard. but
it is not probable that it will come with
anything like a moderate winter, and may
not be heard even in the coolest weather
Both the Indianapolis Gas Company and
the Consumers Gas Trust Company have
made and are still making improvements
throughout their plants, and they believe
they will be able to furnish the people of
the city the best gas service they have had.
Sixty new wells will be added to the
source of supply of the Consumers COM
pany. The company is working six drills
regularly, and already thirty~three of the
new wells have been completed, and the re-
naainder of the number will be in as soon
as they can be drilled. To connect these
wells with the main which leads into the
city. thirty miles OF field mains are being
laid and a new ten-inch main twenty-six
miles long has already been completed,
connecting the field with the sixteen-inch
main at Allisonvile.
In addition to the extensive adultlons 10
the mains the company is putting. in a
pumping station which, when finished, VIII,

that is most extensively used for gas com

that is used for the Chicago natural gas
line where gas is pumped distance OF
100 miles. The superstition which some peo-
pie have that pumps are not effective IN
increasing the gas supply and pressure has
been proved erroneous long SINCE by these
pumps.
Mr. Rement Lyman, of the Consumers
company was asked yesterday to what eX
tent the improvements making would in
crease the supply.
"A bout so per cent" said he. Without

there is no contract which requires il to

Mr.. Swift then showed how she people OF
the country had been warned before 1890
against the policy of buying so much sill
Yer, but the warning had not been needed
and then came the panic OF 1898. The
panic. he said, was directly traceable TO
the purchase of silver. and the silver mine
owners, finding that further appeals for
the government TO purchase their silver are
in vain. have set up the Populistic claim
that more money is needed simply in order
20 get market for their wares.
