The \ L. {. u. convention was
opened Monday night in the L. Il.
church on South Michigan street. The
church is very tastefully decorated and
everything points to a very successful
session. The sermon Sunday night by
Rev. G. V. Null, of Walkerton, was an
able one and was listened to with
marked attention. Rev. Grimes, of
Fulton, read the scripture lesson, and
prayer was offered by Rev. Bell. The
song service was led by Rev. Pontius.
The convention convened at $50 Mon
day morning and delegates from all over
the district were present. Among the
ministers present we note the

Y. Null, of Walkerton. The Bremen
delegation arrived in the forenoon and
were given warm reception. Moth.
Ing has been left undone to make it
J pleasant for everyone IN attendance.
Bible reading, "The Holy Spirits
Mission, was beautifully portrayed by
Rev. j. A. Groves, of Frankfort.
"How Maintain Enthusiasm and
Spirit in the Devotional Meeting" by
III. H. Barsh, of Nobesville, was atten-
lively listened to and very ably dis
cussed by that gentleman.
Lille Bently, of Tyner, gave beau
tiful and impressive talk on the sub
ject, "Confessing Christ before Men,
The entire afternoon session was full
of interest and enthusiasm.
The interest in the Y. +. c. l.. Con
vention increased with each num-
ber of the program, the church Tuesday
evening being crowded to its fullest
capacity, the occasion being lecture
by Rev {. e Langdon, of Erie, Pa
The lecture was full of good thoughts
and was presented as only polished
lecturer understands how to do.
Rev. l.. l.. Shaffer, of Three Rivers
Mich, talked Wednesday on GLOW

Profit His exposition was very help

umbia City, discussed the Elements of
Power in Christian Work Many
useful and interesting points were

Chas. Smith, of Llgonier, talked OF
THE Model Country Y. p. c. L. and
How to Make it So," followed by Kate
Brant, of Frankfort, on "How to Inter
est the Graduated Juniors"
The afternoon session was one of the
most interesting of any "Our Attl-
tude Toward Reforms" was the princi
pal theme under discussion. Miss
Stella Hunter, of Peru, proved herself
to be student of reforms, and heI
remarks on the above subject received
merited applause. Earl Light talked
on literature. Miss May Blue, Of Bur
ket, spoke on Sabbath observance, and
II. c. Shaffer, of Columbia City, spoke
on Religious Life in Politics" l. ).

of passing events.

opened the Jail Door.

Last evening about 6:15 o'clock
IT was discovered that the door to
the city Jail was dnloeked and
that as many of the prisoners rs
desired to changs their occupation
had vanished in the cleaning.
A prisoner who was too honor
able to take such mean advantage
of the law and who remained to
tell the tale to the jallor, said that
q tall man in a dark suit had come
down few minutes before and
with a key opened the door aud
invited all who desired to come
out. -Four hobos aud John Peter
son. who was sent up yesterday
for seventy days, responded to the
invitation.
There seems to be no clue to the
IDENTITY Of the mysterious man
with the key. So far as the es.
capes are concerned 1t is a matter
of little moment, SO they were all
prisoners for trivial otfeuses. but
the idea OF an unknown man carry.

the matter an affair of Importance.

4 Good story

Here is a story told of Patrick
. Mara, q private in Ninth regulars
Not long ago he went to the
colonel who was severe discip-
linarian, for two weeks'leave of
absence.
"Well," said the colonel, "what
do you want two weeks furlough
forY
Patrick answered, "Me wolfe is
very sick, and the children are not
well, and if ye don't moind she
would loike to have me home fol
a few weeks ts give her a bit oi
assistance.
The colonel eyed him for few
minutes and said, "Patrick, [ might
grant your request, but l got let
ter from your wife this morning
saying that she didn't want you
home; that you were nuisance
and raised the devil whenever you
have any more furloughs."
"That settles it, suppose can't
get the furIough, then," said Pat.
"No; l am afraid not, Patrick.
1t wouldn't be well for me to do so
under the circumstances.
1t was Patrick's turn now to eye
the colonel, as he started for the
door. Stopping suddenly he said:
Colonel, can | say something
to yes?"
"Certainly, Patrick, what is itH"
you won't get mad. Colonel, if

weyIer as y Business Man.

Weyler may be bad soldier, but he
is very talented business man. He,
through his agents, in the past two
years, bought 1000 mules from the
United States and Mexico Mt about $50
apiece, and then sold them through
other agents to himself as represent
ing the Spanish government Mt $12S
apiece, making n clear profit of $8S
mule. With nll allowance and labor
bills, all of which were probably paid
by the poor government, the clear
profit must have been $SOO,0OO. Equal
ly shrewd was his cattle syndicate.
The cattle concession was given to n
concern In which he IL said to have
been the chief partner. They bought
cattle, both live and refrigerated, at 6
cents per pound. The consumption in
the city Is over 100000 pounds n day,
the profit over $4,000, and in 600 days
the total profit would be about $1,000
600. He is also said to have had n
large interest In the tobacco monopoly,
the flour trade, the potato business,
the wholesale cabbage industry, the
bottled beer commerce and the milk
routes of Havana. 1t is no wonder.
therefore, that the people of Manila
say he sent home S6,OOO,OOO and the
people of Havana that he transmitted
SS,OOOOOO. OF course, this was not all
for himself. He has many poor friends
in the cortes.-New York Mail and EX-

Bravery of Omcera.

Washington, D. c., July "a re-
markable feature of the fighting in
Cuba, and one much commented upon
in military circles, is the heavy loss
in killed and wounded of commits
stoned and non-commissioned officers.
In spite of the distress which the loss
of so many officers has occasioned, the
army officials point to the list as n
splendid evidence of the dash and
personal bravery of the men who wear
shoulder straps. Among the killed
and wounded since the first fight at
Juragua have been officers of every
grade from Colonel down, and in num-
bers said to be almost unprecedented
in proportion to the forces engaged
The loss of officers In the two days
fighting around Santiago demonstrates
to military men that the American Of
ficers lead their men wherever they nre
called upon to go and are setting an
example which cannot but elevate the
esprit de corps of the army.

Will Try to Save tho Yes. els.

Washington, July 1.-The govern
ment has made contract with the
Merritt Wrecking Company to save the
Spanish warships wrecked near San
tiago.
Secretary Long is quite hopeful that
several of the Spanish ships of the
Cervern squadron can be saved, in
part at least. and possibly us whole.
Assistant Secretary Allen shares this
belief, and thinks that the Cristobal
Colon can be got off the rocks as an
entirety, and that the hull, upper
works and guns can be made available.
She was the best armored cruiser of
the Spanish navy. and if she can be
tioatcd and repaired will make n val
liable acquisition to the American
navy.
Mr.. Allen is hopeful also that the
ViZcaya and OQuendo can be saved in
part. Information has reached the de-
partment that the hulls are not badly
damaged. The contract with the Mer-
ritt Wrecking Company is by the day.
and may be cancelled at any time if
the government finds the salvage is
not progressing satisfactorily.
Two large wrecking vessels left Nor
folk to-day to begin work upon the
Colon, Vizcaya and Oquendo.
