ry that he didn't do as wanted him to,
as sure as you're born, will"
"But about the town lots" John
asked don't you consider them safe?"
"Why, yes; they're safe. They're as
good as bonds, and there's immense
profits to be made of them. But that
amt the question, you see. You didn't
want lots; you wanted to pay the debt
off your farm"
"Wcll, if the lots are safe and the re-
turns as big as Scraggs says, why I'm
satisfied with matters as they stand"
"I'm glad to hear that, Mr.. Green,
for the investment is safe, in my opin-
ion, and | think that for every dollar
you put into it now you will take out
five at the end of a year. So firm is my
faith in it that have invested heavily
on my own account, besides advising
my friends in the east to take hold; and
am glad Scraggs let you in. 1t is bet

of the turn he had made, went back to
his home on the prairie highly satisfied
and pleased; while Harry Pearson con-
tinued his way to Scraggs' office equal
ly as well pleased as John. The former
felt that Providence and Scraggs had
opened before him quick and easy
way of overcoming all his financial
difficulties and placing himself and fam
lily on the high road to fortune, while
the latter felt that his tolls were being
drawn closer and tighter about his in
nocent and unsuspecting victim. Each
for his own reason, and widely different
reasons they were, was pleased with
the drift of affairs, and each smiled the
smile Of triumph.
John, morever, felt that he owed
great debt of gratitude to Harry Pear
SON tor the disinterested interest he had
taken in his affairs, and he longed for
an opportunity to repay him,

WATCHING FOR CHRIST.
Seventh-Day Adventists Think the
Time of His Coming Is Nigh.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. 2.--Sev-
enth-day Adventists of this city are ex
cited over the prophesied coming of Christ.
They have received a special communica-
ton from Mrs. White, the Prophecies"
that the time for the application of the
parable of Luke xiv, 1928, is now due, and
they are commanded to go out into the
highways and hedges and give the last cali
to supper" Under this impulse the prin-
cipal street corners are occupied, and sa-
looms invaded by enthusiastic gospelers
every night.
In the immense tabernacle great crowds
continue to assemble under the leadership
OF Rev. Jones and Rev. Ballenger, expect
ing the Holy Ghost to come down with fire
from heaven. To this end all are exhorted
to Internationally accept the visitations
OF the prophecies and to conform to her
precepts, which command them to pay
utheS and to abstain from all flesh meats,
butter, etc. Some five hundred members
who are remiss In the matter of paying
uthes have been repeatedly branded as
thieves from the pulpit and scores have
been whipped into line under the scathing
denunciations of the prophecies.
Battle Creek is the headquarters of the
Seventh-day Adventsts Church in
America. The town of eighteen thousand
people has over six thousand residents of
that faith, and the great sanitarium, which
has made Battle Creek known all over the
world, is conducted by the church.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The secretary OF
the treasury has not yet decided what dis
position to make of the cash which Will be
received in payment of the Union PACING
Railroad. Financicrs in New York and Bos-
ton are showing some concern lest the with
drawal OF such a large sum from private
circula zion within so short a period might
cause an unhealthy stringency in the money
market and produce spasm of contraction
in values. TO guard against Sucn con-
tingeNcy bankers in New York have lndi-
Gated TO Secretary Gage Willingness TO de-
post With the treasury a large amount OF
government bonds as security for speclal
deposits of government cash Thus far
about $4,000 600 in 4-per-cent bonds nave
been pledged and the intimation Is given
that the amount will be increased If needed
Thus far the money markets of New YORK
and Boston have not shown the slightest
disturbance and in view OF the precautions
which, are being taken there is no serious
reason to anticipate agitation in that quar-
ter The secretary of the treasury has let
1t be known that if, in his judgment, 1t
would be advisable to deposit government
funds in special repositories in order to pre-
vent any unhealthy disturbance at the
financial centers he will make such deposits
up TO the face value of 4-per-cent bonds
placed in the treasury as security.

Free RuraI Delivery.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov 2.-Col. H Conquest
Clarke, a special agent OF the rural free
delivery, of Washington, D. c., arrived here
tonight to make the necessary arrange
ments for establishing four free-delivery
routes in Delaware county. Through the
efforts of First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Perry S. Heath an increased appro-
priation has been made for the expert
mental service during the present year,
and the thiclSly settled farming districts of
Delaware county have been chosen to in
augurate the rural free-delivery service.
Starting from the four postoffices of Dale
Vile. Albany. Eaton and Selma, letter car
riers will establish q daily free-delivery
and collection service over carefully
lected routes, which will take in, as far as
possible, every farmer or other resident
within radius of several miles from these
points, Tho project was first put in practi-
cal operation under President Harrison by
establishing free delivery in villages, but
the appropriation allowed for this purpose
was stopped under Cleveland's administra-
ton.
