TO-DAY'S SILVER CONFERENCE
It's Object to Give the "King of the
Push" Job.

The indications are that there will be
comparatively small attendance upon the
conference of the silver forces of the State,
called to meet at the Grand Hotel this
afternoon. The call was issued immediate
ly after the election in the Fourth district
by Allen w. Clark, king of all the push "
AS chairman of one or two silver commit
tees he issued call for a meeting of the
executive and advisory committees of the
Silver League and included in the invitation
''an friends of silver" The intention was
to have Populists and silver Republicans
join in.
The meeting was called to further the pet
scheme that Clark has entertained ever
since the last campaign, of having silver
literary bureau in this city to encourage
the formation of local silver leagues
throughout the State and supply them
with literature. Some Of the older Demo-
cratic politicians have been mean enough
to intimate that the excellent table set
by the Grand just about suits the king
and he has been dissatisfied with life at
Greensburg ever since his expenses at the
hotel were paid during the last campaign
as head of the literary bureau of the DEM
ocratic state committee. The silver con-
ference held last January decided that
such a bureau should be opened here, but
when it came to opening it, it was discov-
cred that it took money to do these things
and none of those attending the conference
was willing to put up any money. 1t is
said that a proposition will be made this
afternoon to assess all the men who are
thinking about becoming candidates for
state offices, but they have no mind reader
capable of finding out who is thinking. ."

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Sept. 1.-The ffty-second
annual session of the White River Confer
ence Of the United Brethren Church now in
progress here is the largest in the history
of the conference, with about five hundred
ministers and leading religious workers in
attendance. The sessions are presided over
by Bishop Weaver, of Dayton, o., the
senior bishop of the church. The sessions
are devoted almost exclusively to business
and the reports are replete with interest.
This conference is the liberal branch of
the church, composed of two presiding elder
districts, the indianapolis district. in charge
OF Presiding Elder J. T. Roberts, of In
dianapolis, and the Marion district, presided
over by Elder Alonzo Myer, of Anderson
The conservative" branch had its annual
conference short time ago at Bluffton.
The reports reveal some significant figures.
When the church split at the General
Conference in 1889 both branches had nearly
the same strength numerically, whereas
now the conservatives" number but 25,000
and the liberals 205, 900. The former OPP
poses secret societies and draws the line
strictly on amusements. The liberals"
having discipline less severely strict, have
attracted a rapidly growing membership.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of to-day an article appears
as special from Muncie saying that Muir
derer Jesse Boswell, employed as a cook
for Barnum's circus who murdered a Mrs.
Bass about six years ago near Bartonia
Randolph county, was arrested by Detec-
tive Blink Fletcher and other Randolph
county officers and quietly taken TO Win
chester and placed in Jail. The facts are
that Boswell is not now and never was in
the Randolph county jail. Every effort has
been made to locate and capture him. but
without success. Nothing has been heard
from him since the reported arrest and es-
cape from the officers at Marion Ind, five
years ago. / have received many COM
munications from different parts of the
country proposing to locate him, which
investigated and proved to be without
foundation. DAVID B. STRAHAN
