The Bad Lands.

In its widest scope the arid region
Of the United States comprises half the
territory of the entire country, for to
so great an extent must irrigation be
employed either as primary or Sec
ondary factor in the cultivation of crops.
From about the ninety sixth to the
ninety-ninth meridian there is strip
Of about $50 miles in breadth which
Major ]. w. Powell calls the "subhu-
mid" tract. Within it there is an an
nual precipitation sufficient to insure
crops, but the precipitation is so dis
proportionately bestowed and at such
irregular intervals throughout the year
that the seasons of successfus farming
are interspersed with long and disas.
trous droughts. Reliance, therefore, up.
on moisture directly falling from the
clouds is extremely hazardous, and, un.
supplemented by waters from stream
distribution, it is not generally reposed.
But west of the ninety ninth and east
of the one hundred and twenty first
meridian, throughout the whole breadth
Of the country, from Canada to Mexico,
there is q district in which nothing
needing moisture greater than that re.
quired by the artemisia OF the cactus
can be planted and grown. 1t is re-
gion aggregating about /, $40, 600 square
miles, territory larger than Arabia,
as large as and not more arid than the
combined areas of Persia and India,
with their united populations Of
$50. 600. 600 souls. -Lippincott's Mag.

Chicago is said to have started what
is known as the trolley church colleo-
tion boxes. A wire is stretched from
pew to pew. upon which little carriages
are strung. This continuance is operated
By electricity, and the minister by mere

him on the top of the pulpit releases
these little cars simultaneously all over
the church. The great advantage claim

that il keeps the amount of each con-

Marriage Ceremonies Among the cainruas

Marriage Ceremonies Among the Cainguas.
The only formality which the swain
has to go through to get the hand of his
promised one is to kill tapir, an act
by which be proves that be will be ca.
pable of supporting his prospective fam.
lily. The death of tapir under such
conditions is quite an event. The whole
tribe assemblies at the carcass, and a
scene Of gluttony begins that does not
cease till nothing is left but the skin
and bones of the great beast" That is
the only ceremony of marriage. The
Caingua is usually homogeneous, but
polygamy is allowed. Marriages of rel
atives are carefully avoided. After con.
finement the young mother has rest

the litigation necessarily incident to the
various suits now pending, about forty in
number, and other suits that may be rea-
sonably anticipated would swell the ex-
penses from $1,000, as estimated at present
to at least 800 900 This would make an
actual shrinkage of $50, 900, reducing the as
sets to $120, 300 In that contingency, II the
first mortgages were paid in full, exclusive
of the preferred creditors, they would re-
ceive in the neighborhood of $4,000. De-
Quoting this amount from 800, as above
stated, would leave only $4,000 with which
to pay the second mortgage of $50, 900. and
eating $50 900. In no possible event could as
much be realized for the creditors, in our
judgment, as we now offer to them through
this proposition, and we trust that they
will accept the same so that the fund may
be taken out of court, the expenses stopped
and the best possible results secured. This
settlement, if accepted, contemplates the
dismissal of all pending suits and proceed
ings and that all books and papers in the
hands of the receiver, save such as may pc
necessary for the of said trustee, to be
selected and herein provided, shall be
turned over to the Krag-Rey noldS Com
pany and when the accounts are finally
settled the remainder of the books and pa
pers in the hands of said trustee are to be
also turned over to said company. This
offer is conditioned upon its acceptance by
all the creditors of said company. We
would call attention to the fact that if this
settlement is not contaminated before April
/ the fund will probably be $4,000 by that
date. on which taxes of 1903 will have to
be- paid by the receiver. We will be pleased
to hear from you at your very earliest con-

EPWORTH LEAGUE CABINET.
Arranging Programme for State Con-
ventiOn at Marion.

The state cabinet of the Epworth League
of Indiana is in session here to arrange q
programme for the Epworth League state
convention which meets at Marion June 30
and continues until July 8. The cabinet is
also discussing the prospects for the inter-
national convention of the Epworth League,
which comes to Indianapolis in July, 1899.
The members of the cabinet present are F.
M. Barbour, of Evansville, president; Rev.
Horace Ogden, of Kewanee, treasurer; Rev.
James G. Campbell, of Delphi, superin-
tendent of literary work; s. NJ. Hoff of
Indianapolis, superintendent of social
work. Mrs. Perry e. Powell, of Anderson,
superintendent of Junior League, and H. L.
Davis, of Crawfordsville Yesterday the
cabinet met at Roberts Park NJ 2. Church

following district presidents came to the
city to attend the session: w. f. Taylor, of
Lebanon; A. B. Swartz Of Jeffersonville;
j. S. Patterson of Knightstown; George W.
Switzer of Lafayette; Monroe Vayhinger,
of Moore's Hill.
The Epworth League in Indiana now
numbers nearly 1900 chapters, with q total
membership of about 10000 The cabinet
will prepare a programme for the state
convention. but this will not be published
until it is known that all those on the pro-
gramme will respond. Yesterday a resolu-
ton was passed looking to the establish
ment in this city of the deaconess home and
hospital, which will be maintained by the
Methodist Church of the State. It is the
plan of the cabinet to establish an institu-
ton of this kind and place it under the con-
troll of the mercy and help department Of
the Epworth League. A similar resolution
was adopted by the cabinet last year, and
it's provisions were discussed at the last
state convention 1t is the purpose to bring
the question up again at Marion this sum-
mer. Members of the cabinet say that once
the league has determined to build this hos
pital a number of people are ready to make
liberal donations toward its maintenance.
The idea is to place the institution In the
charge of deaconesses chosen from the
ranks of the young women of the church
who are willing to give up the world and
go into the work of aiding the suffering and

A feature of the Marion convent to

strangers from all over the world.

"Fortunatev Lake shore stockholders.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of this morning you say
that the. Lake Shore Railway stockholders
are fortunate in having the New York Cen
trail buy their stock. So was the lamb for
tunate who muddied the stream below
where the wolf was drinking--he was for
tunate to get his drink before he was eaten.
BY the refunding of the Lake Shore per
cent. bonds nearly per cent will be saved
on the stock. If, during the hard times,
Lake Shore could earn s per cent, it is per-
haps safe to say that it could earn z per
cent. during good times. With the per
cent. saving this would make to 10 per
cent. for the stock. The stockholders are
practically forced to take 5000 in New York
Central 49, per cent. bonds (not per cent,
as you stated for each share of stock.
Therefore they will receive 81 income on
each share instead of a sure So and a pos
sible 50 or $40: and if they had received only
the IS their stock would still have been
worth well over $500. Who will get the
benefit? Undoubtedly the New York Gem
trial, rather than the Lake Shore stock
holders, and especially those who knew of
the plan before it was made public 1t is
simply another case of insiders VS.. the
public. WALTER l.. MILLIKEN.

MiIIisOn Cannot Get q Divorce from
Wife No. 2.

MtIItBOn cannot Get T. divorce from
Wife No. 2.
Judge Allen yesterday morning dismissed
the divorce case Of Theophilus Millison
against Minnie E. MilIison. Miliison was a
song evangelist He became enamored of
woman whose husband he was trying to
reform" and two divorces and his marriage
with the woman followed. He now pro-
fesses to have had enough of the bargain,
and says he wants to marry his first wife
again. The case was continued several
times by Judge. Allen. Mllison agreed to
submit additional evidence yesterday MORN
ing. Wednesday night, however, his seven
teen-year-old daughter learned from Judge
Allen that the divorce would be refused.
Miss Millison is a student at the High
School and lives with her mother in this
city. She pleaded with the judge to grant
the divorce in order that the family might
again be united. Judge Allen informed her
that her father had acted very badly. and;
as there was no guarantee that he would
not continue in that course, he would not
grant the divorce. Knowing the situation,
Millison allowed the case to be dismissed.
He may now file it in another court.
