Special to the indianapolis Journal.

NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind, Sept. 15.-
The most disastrous fire in many years Wis
tied the manufacturing district of this city
this evening. The total loss will exceed $34,-
600; insurance, 5000. Fire was discovered at
2:l5 o'clock this afternoon in one of the
large storage houses of the Dunbar & Mat
thews stave and heading factory The two
fire companies responded promptly to the
call and had the water supply not failed
the blaze could easily have been extin-
guished. There was less than twenty feet
OF water in the stand pipe and when this
was exhausted direct pressure was used
from the river but the time consumed in
making the change gave the blaze start
and it was soon discovered that the fire was
beyond control -Four large warehouses
were burned to the ground, entailing loss
of upward of $4,000 The stock was in
sured for S. 600. Through hard work of the
firemen the factory was saved. The new
factory of Roby & Strauss manufac-
turers of an automatic pool ball rack, was
also burned. Loss. $1,500; no insurance. The
factory building of Miller & Bonner next
caught fire and is a total loss. The building
was filled with finished wagon material, all
Of which was destroyed. Loss, $500; no
insurance. When it became apparent that
this building could not be saved the entire
force was taken to the plant of the Man
chester Manufacturing Company. hard
light was made at this point, but the plant
was burned to the ground. Loss, $40 900; no
insurance. The large wareroom of Ulrey
Harter, IL full block away caught fire from
flying sparks and being dry burned quickly.
Loss on building and contents, $4,000; in
surance. freight on the Big Four

the part of the firemen saved the building.
The large elevator opposite the depot
caught fire several times, but was saved.
Two barns were also destroyed and several
small buildings were torn down to check
the running fire. AT 9 o'clock tonight the
fire was under control. The shortage in in
surance is due to excessive rates.

Cudahy Denie. the seIl-Out.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, Sept. 15.-The ru-
NOR that the Cudahy Oil Company has dis
posed of its interests in the Indiana field
to the Standard is false, although reports
to that effect have been circulated among
local oil men since last Saturday John p
Cudahy, field manager for the big rival Of
the Standard, was here to-day. He says
that there has been no deal between the
two companies and, further, that they
have no intention whatever of selling out.
The Chicago men have withdrawn from the
Peru field, but in favor of no company in
particular. The fact that the Standard
people are using their loading racks at
Peru is true, but they have not let go of
their entire interests in the Hoosier State.
The purpose of Mr.. Cudahy's visit here to-
day was to get contracts with producers.
His company has a line through this field
and is anxious to get a part of the produc-
ton. In the eastern part of the field they
are securing the bulk of the production,
but elsewhere the Standard has the inside.
The Cudahys are gaining some ground.
owing to their paying 43 cents, while the
Standard is paving only AZ cents.

REV. KUHN,s CARD TO sHRADER.
kOkOmO Minister Says the "Healer"
Was Tried and FaiIed.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Sept. 15.-Rev. t. Fl.
Kuhn, who conducted the tests of Healer
Schrader while the latter was here last
week, read Schrader's denial in the Journal
and wrote the accompanying card for pub
lication. The tests We're made exactly as
published and bushel of affidavits can be
obtained to that effect. The card of Rev.
Kuhn follows:
when it was announced there was
divine healer in the city / thought for once
we had struck the right man, for we needed
just such a man as he claims to be, so
determined If he was a second Christ pos
sessed of supernatural gifts, l should be

pulpit, but l did not want to be mistaken,
known cases of the afflicted and drove to
the headquarters of Schrader with the
blind the deaf, the dumb, the halt and
lame. He utterly failed to effect any kind
of cure. though the afflicted expressed sub
lime faith in Jesus Christ and his power
to heal. When he saw his hopeless task he

clustering. railing accusation and sent the
afflicted away as they come. The test of

fered him the bottle and he refused to
drink it. On the strength of these two
tests l changed somewhat the nature of
my discourse. Schrader does not believe his
own craft; if he did he would never have
hesitSted to take dose Of harmless salts,
though he thought IL was poison. He does
not possess divine power He could not heal
the blind, the dumb, the halt, the lame. He
does not possess divine wisdom or he could
tell strychnine from salts. He does not
possess divine faith or he might have cured
himself of one dose of poison (salts) He
does not possess divine compassion. He
rallied and clustered and refused to heal
the afflicted when he saw he was trapped,
but he has got long hair.

PLAIN FACTS ron FARMERS.
An Object Lesson in Values That
Should Have Effect.
PHILADELPHIA Recon-

The most conservative estimates which
have been made of the shortage of wheat
in Europe Indicate that more than one
hundred million bushels will of necessity
be bought in this country to supply the
foreign deficiency 1t is fortunate for the
farmers that the rise in price (about 100
per cent? occurred before they had sold
their wheat. so that the farmers, not the
brokers, will reap the chief benefit of the
sale of not less than Joe 10000 bushels of
wheat at probably not less than 100000, 900.
What kind of dollars will the farmers re-
ceive? They will receive gold dollars, or
their equivalent
Suppost the farmers had elected Mr.. Bry-
declared that dollar wheat was only pos
sible in case the policy Of the free coinage
of silver at 16 to !. independently of all
foreign nations should succeed at the polls.
What would have been the result at this
time had this policy gained the day, as
sulning that wheat would in even that event
be worth 81 per bushel2 The foreigners who
are going to pay our farmers 81 per bushel

pay our people the same amount I'm silver

of silver, In other words the wheat would
have cost the foreigners about 30 or 10
cents in gold per bushe instead of 100 cents

and we would have lost. about $50. 600 600
Mr.. Bryan said. and no doubt he still main
tains. that silver would have gone UP in
price If free coinage had been adopted; but
he has never offered any proofs. We have
shown the other hand. in former dis
cussions of this subject that the enormous
purchases of silver which were made by

to over thirteen thousand tons of pure sill
