CONSOLIDATION NOT PROBABLE
Revival of Gossip Concerning Board
of Trade and Commercial Club.

There has been a revival of gossip con-
corning the consolidation of the Board of
Trade and Commercial Club, the last few
days A member of the former organization
yesterday intimated that such movement
was on foot as result of the efforts of the
Board of Trade committee to find a new To-
cation for the board. E. b. Martindale,
president of the board, said last night that
If any such thing was being contemplated
he had no knowledge of it. He spoke of
some Of the difficulties that would be in the
way of the contamination Of such a plan.
The Commercial Club is a stock organiza-
ton. The Board of Trade is not. Certifi-
Gates of membership are issued, on which
the members pay annual dues. At their
death the certificates become the property
or the estate and have a tangible market
value little below par. The right of sue
cesslon is sold by auction. The highest bid
ders are admitted, if passed on favorably
by the membership committee. Beside the
bers are entitled to mortuary benefits of
$1,000. Assessments of 81 on each member
are made when member dies to pay these
benefits. There is no such scheme in the
Commercial Club. Many of the five hun
dred members of the Board of Trade have
been in the organization for years and have
always paid mOrtuary assessments. Such
members would probably oppose any
scheme of consolidation that did not pro-
vide for their receiving benefits equal to
those for which they have been assessed.

PATROLMEN MUST PAY.
Democrats on the Force Contribute to
Campaign Fund.

City employees were anxious to know
whether they would have to pay assess
ments to help along the county campaign,
yesterday, and some were pretty nervous
when their monthly vouchers were handed
out promptly. Inspectors in the Board of
Health Office claimed they were not asked
TO pay campaign assessments when the
vouchers We're finally handed over to them
They will probably be called on before to-
morrow evening arrives, as demands have
already been made on the Democratic
patrolmen. Yesterday the policemen re-
ceived letters directing them to call at the
office of Isaac King. on Maryland street.
either Saturday Monday. On responding
TO the request the patrolmen were met with
penses. All City Hall employees were as
sessed last fall to swell the Taggart cam
.paign fund. when the mayor was running
for reelection. They are now rebelling
against an assessment in an off year. for
county purposes, when they cannot hope 10
profit by the election in any way. Some of
the patrolmen who received these notices
yesterday were rather outspoken in regard
to the demand. The word was passed
around quietly that those who did not
respond would be blacklisted and would be
dropped from the force at the first pre-
text This stimulated donations to Mr.
King. Charles Mcguire. former president of
the Board of Safety, and City Controller
Johnson, two of Taggart's most intimate
friends and political partners, are on the
county ticket.
A Republican patrolynan said he had not
heard of any attempts TO assess Republican
members of the force.

THE MUSTER-0UT SEASON
ron THE DIS
CHARGE or INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
A Number of the Men VIII Probably
Enter the Regular Army
Service.

Arrangements are being completed for the
final assembling of the Indiana troops at
the fair grounds for muster out in a short
time. To those who visited the fair grounds
during the time the first regiments were
mustered into the Federal service, the spec
tacle will seem a familiar one. as all the
regiments have notified Lieutenant Water
man of their desire to be quartered in their
old sleeping places in the buildings lining
both sides of the main driveway of the
fair grounds.
AS the time for the muster out draws
near, 1t becomes more evident each day that
there will be large number of the Indiana
volunteers who will re-enlist in the regular
army. Already Captain Black, of the re-
cruiting station, has had applications from
over a hundred. OF course, none of them
have been accepted as yet, but as soon as
they are mustered out of the volunteer
service Captain Black will be on hand to
muster them into the regulars as fast as
they can be examined.

WRONG STAMPS FOR MAIL.
People who Use the Revenue Variety
for Letters.

Postmaster Hess is much amazed by the
number Of people who persist in affixing 2
cent revenue stamps to letters for postage.
and says whenever practicable he has ex-
planned the matter to patrons of the office
The prevalence of the custom, however,
makes it apparent to the postoffice officials
that many of the people do not
know that revenue stamp is worth
less except for its own specific use,
and that when the canceling clerks find one
out and hold the letter for postage POST
master Hess says that many people, who are
now complaining of the delay in receiving
their mail would save themselves trouble
by making sure that they are putting the
right kind of stamps on their letters.

THE PRICE EX0RBITHNT
BOARD or TRADE COMMITTEE
AGAINST THE WATER PLANT DEAL.
Will Make It's Report to the Cover
nors To-Morrow Night
story of Injunction.

The plan OF the Taggart administration to
saddle debt on the people in the purchase
of the water works is likely to be thwarted
1t is known positively that the committee
from the Board of Trade appointed to inves-
tigate the Hord plan for purchasing the
plant is strongly against it. and will so re-
port to the board of governors tomorrow
night
E. B. Martindale who appointed the COM
mittee, said last night that the committee
would certainly make report against the
contemplated purchase on the plan pro-
posed. Mr.. Martindale could not say what
the governors would do with the report.
IT is understood that the committee has
reached the conclusion that the plant pur-
chased at the price asked by the company
would be a white elephant on the city's
hands. The committee is of the opinion
that the price is away beyond reason, and
that while it would be fine thing for the
city to own its own water plant, it would
be most foolish thing to pay the amount
asked.
The more the proposition to pay So, 500, 900
for the water works is considered by many
business men, the more 1t is opposed in
the light Of Expert Hills report, which
shows that the plant is not worth more
than 100000. There is, however, a grow
ing impression that the administration in
tends to purchase it on the basis of the
Hord proposition. If the attempt is made
there is talk of steps to stop the deal. 1t is
said that an injunction suit would be the
most effectual way. of preventing the city
from being mulcted of $1,5O0,O00. and yes
terday it was asserted by man who is IN
a position to know. that such a suit is con-
templated.
~ GU can put it down as certain" said
he, that If the city undertakes to follow
the Hord proposition an injunction suit
will at once be brought. The papers have
been prepared.n

DIR. FRED wooDBuRN DEAD.
Fever Laid Him Low in Porto Rico
His Record.

The family Of DR.. Fred c. WOODBURY. was
greatly shocked yesterday to learn through
press dispatch of the doctors death at
Ponce Porto Rico, where he was in the hos
pital corps with the American army. His
death occurred on last Thursday Dr.
WoodburRs parents did not know that he
had been i'll until they received the news
OF his death. When the Twenty-seventh
Indiana Battery came through Ponce on its
way home some of the men saw DR.. Wood
burn. He was then in good health and was
working hard. He enlisted as private last
June and became member of the hospital
corps. Dr. Woodburn was born in 1866 and
nad always lived in indianapolis. At the
time OF his enlistment in the army he was
practicing medicine with his father Dr. j.
n. WOODBURY.. A year after he completed
his course in the Medical College of Indi-
ana, in 1887 young WOODBURY. was made SUI
perlntendent of the City Dispensary. He
leaves wife and one child who are in
Washington, ID. c. 1t is understood that
DR.. Woodburn's death was caused by ty-
phoid-malaria. Yesterday his family tele-
graphed to Representative Overstreet con-
corning the young mans death. Mr.. Over
street stated in reply that he would do
al he could to have the body brought home
for burial.

One of the rare medicines of a caladium
blooming occurred yesterday in the yard
of Elmer Salmon, 2SS South East street.
The caladiunl is an ordinary foliage plant.
commonly called elephant ears and it is
seldom. if ever, that it blooms. The bulb
was procured from a seed store early in
the spring. and is probably about five years
old. Several florists have been down to see
and examine it, and say it is very probable
that it may bloom regularly. The blossom
is yellow in color, about ten inches long

Is the one stone that combines the
glories of all the other precious
gems. In it we have the flash of
the diamond, the green of the
emerald, the red of the ruby and
the blue of the sapphire. From
almost every standpoint it emits a
different shade, and is consequent
ly the most popular colored stone
of to-day. Our stock of Opal Rings
