The superintendent of poultry de-
partment worked hard the past three
months to get up a record breaking
show and he did it from every stand
point. The exhibit from Tacoma Wn.,
is made up of birds that were a show
themselves. They were solely from
the Tacoma poultry organization.
The following,members took chances

MONTPELIER, Ind, Dec. 29-OpeTations
in the Indiana oil field for the month of
December shows g falling off in completed
wells of nearly one-half, due to the stopping
of great many strings of tools in the
Peru field. During the month there have
been ninety-eight wells completed, of which
twerty-eight We're worthless for oil, and the
daily output of the rest amounts to $3.50
barrels, or thirty-siX barrels a day each
well, which is an increase in the average of
sixteen barrels over the November report.
In completed wells there is a decrease of
eighty-five. in dry holes ten and in new pro-
duction $50 barrels. In new work under way
there are fifty strings of tools at work and
thirty-one rigs up, a decline from the first
of the month of forty in drilling wells and
seventeen in rigs up, or a total of fifty
seven. The Peru field has seen its day, and
the Blue Lick water has the upper hand
of the operators in that field, and it is bound
to drive them away. The oil business has
been a detriment to the city of Peru. owing
to the fact of town lot drilling. rhe huge
derricks, tearing away of fences, fruit trees
and the waste of oil on the ground, as well
as in the streets, show it to be more of
grease town than a once beautiful little
city. If the productive pool had been To-
Gated on acreage property outside of the vii
lage instead of on town lots, it would have
proved a good thing. There has never been
in the history of oil town lot pool where
any money has been made Hospital Hill,
where some of the largest of the wells in
the Peru field were completed is sight to
behold 1t will take a. great many thou
sands Of dollars to repair the damaget Many
property owners, who have oil wells in heir
back yards would never lease if they bad 1T
to do over again. Houses and barns have
been spattered with the crude oil and the
streets are veritable hog wallows where the
developments have been. made. Most Of the
operators have returned to their old haunts,
and but few companies remain in the field.
They are the Kier-Ohio Oil Company, the
Shirk Oil Company Peoples Oil & Gas
Company, and the Klondike Oil Company.
The Wells county end of the great field Is
at the present time showing no activity
whatever but there are hundreds of places
where the drill is sure of tapping the proper
sand. The following recapitulation gives a
comparison for the work of November

PRINTER DEMANDS $4,000.
Asks Damages from a Union Because
He Lost His Position.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. pa suit that is
to be fought through all the courts, If nee
essary, to settle a question which affects
trades unions has been commenced here.
Fred Hess. jr., has sued the San Francisco
Typographical Union, C. e. Hawkes., j. r.
Houston, Henry A. Chase, H. Gibbs, w. b.
Benoist, D. T. Riordan, T. NJ. MCGOWAN and
all other members of the union collectively
and individually, for $25 900 damages. Mr..
Hess alleges that the union exercises control
over it's members, and that So id members
were prevented from working with him in
the Bulletin printing office in this city, in
consequence of which he was discharged
from situation a linotype operator that
yielded him an income OF $29 week. The
plaintiff charges conspiracy on the part of
the defendants to prevent him from Secur-
ing employment. Hess was the man who
took care of the linotype machines, and was
in charge of them before the Bulletin Office
was unionized. He applied for membership
in the union, but his application was reject
ed on the ground that he had not served an
apprenticeship Then the printers struck to
force the discharge of Hess because he was

this course and condemns that. Whenever
the work is vital pupils express themselves
freely and in pleasing way, because they
are in the condition where the artistic form

ITO summarize: 1t has been shown that
the main purpose in the study of fiction is,
in the words OF Emerson. to give the stu
dent the power 10 read the poetry affairs,
to fuse the circumstances of to-day; not
to use SCOTS antique Superstitions, nor
Shakspeare's, but to convert those of the
nineteenth century and of the existing ma
tons into universal symbols. 'Tis
easy to repaint the mythology of the
Greeks, the feudal castle. the crusade, the
martyrdoms of medieval Europe; but to
point out where the same creative force is
now working in our own houses and public
assemblies, to convert the vivid energies
acting in this hour, in New York and Chi
cago and San Francisco, into universal
ing thought. The test is to take the
passing day. with its news, its cares, its
fears, and to hold it up to divine reason

and to be related to the internal order of
the world" Certainly not the. least among

COLLEGE ASSOCIATION.
Its Meeting Concluded Ycsterday--Of-
GERS Elected.

The Indiana College Association concluded
it's convention yesterday morning. A. H.
Yoder, president of Nincernes College, read
a paper which caused considerable discus
sion. 1t was on THE Insufficiency OF Sec
ondary Educations in Indiana for the Need
of the College" He thought there was too
great a difference in high schools. Some
were good and students coming from them
were well prepared to enter college. Others
lacked in equipment, perhaps, and failed
to properly prepare their students. Prof.
Edwin S. Ames, of Butler, thought the
equipment of pupils for the college was not
the only object of the high school. The
per cent. of pupils who finish the high
school course and never have any intention
however, that some steps might prOfitably
be taken to place the high schools of the
State on a general plane. Prof Stephens
of Purdue. also discussed the subject as
well as several Others present. The i'm
preston seemed to prevail that the high
school could be made an independent finish
ing school in itself and at the same time be
a school at which students could be pre-
pared for college, but there was evidently
a better opinion among the educators of
the college preparatory school for the latter
purpose.
Oakland College was admitted to mem
bership in the association. 1t was decided
to file the records of the association with
the state librarian. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President-Dr. w. II. Stott Franklin Col
lege.
Vice President-Dr. Dryer. State Normal

years of child life should have purely

of music should invite in good singers aid
players to play and sing before the children
in order that they might hear good music

morning was that delivered by President
e. Benjamin Andrews. of Brown Univer-
sity at Providence. r. l., on THE Public
School System as an fundamentally of

advanced ground in regard. to the advisa-
bility of having school architecture
aesthetic in character and conducive to the

fort to the pupils. He strongly urged the
free textbook system and favored free
lunches in the schools. He said everything
that would assist in making schools pleas

the social and moral character of the peo-

authorities should arrange in the cities for
the furnishing of lunches 10 the scholars.

said, should be palatable well cooked and

The Primary Teachers.

The primary section of the state teachers

after the meeting began. Aside from the
reading and discussion of papers an election
of officers was held. Mrs. e. e. Olcott, of
Charleston, was chosen president and Mrs.
Sarah e. Tarney-Campbell, of Anderson
chairman of the executive committee.
Miss Nebraska Cropsey read paper on
Discipline in the Primary Grades Miss
Cropsey discussed the subject of how far
discipline should conform to the freedom
of the kindergarten and how far follow the
more rigid discipline of the higher grades
Miss Gertrude Robinson, of Terre Haute
read a paper on What is the Best Liter
allure for the First Years Work. She
thought that such stories should be used in
the schools as developed the character of
the pupils. Mrs r. h. Olcott. of Charles
ten, aroused much interest in the section by
giving exposition of the Speer or ratio
method of teaching arithmetic to young
blocks of various sizes and shapes The
essence of what she said was that by means
of the proper use of the blocks the sense
training of the pupils is so developed as to
lead them to compare and to judge as to
the relation of magnitudeS and to draw in
ferences from these judgments which can
be used independent of any magnitude.
Miss Lide Cline Brooks, of Anderson.
spoke on the subject why is it Wrong to
Have all Myth and all Science Work in the
Primary Grades?" She held to the view
that both were necessary to the proper
training of children. Miss Mabel Shirley.
of MaItinsville. gave an excellent address
regarding original investigation in nature
work in first and second grades. The ses-
sion closed with round-table on the rela-
ton of the kindergarten to the primary
school, the consensus of opinion of which
was that the kindergarten should reinforce
the work of the primary grade.
