NEW QUARTERS.
YOUNG e M'MURRAY, THE WELL
KNOWN TAILORS, REMOVE TO
az NORTH PENN. ST.
An Establishment Showing the Effect
and Methods in This Profession.

A business move that has attracted con-
siderable attention during the past week is
the change of location of the well-known
tailoring establishment of Young & Nc
Murray. They are now in their new quar-
ters. at No. AZ North Pennsylvania street,
in the room formerly occupied by Ward s
art store.
Messrs. Young & McNurray have made Of
their new location the handsomest business
room of it's kind in the city. Five years
ago, when they began business here they
were the first to advocate the idea that a
man likes to have the place where he buys
his clothes as up-to-date and pleasant to
look at as he expects the clothes to be
when they are finished. In furnishing their
new quarters they have elaborated and per-
fected this idea. The display room is light
ed by Luxfer prisms, affording the patrons
the benefit Of judging the appearance and
quality of the different weaves by daylight.
On entering the room the visitor is pleased
with the rich color effect or the decorations,
which Is heightened by the excellent light
received through the prisms The goods are
arranged in handsome display, and form
the principal decorative feature, although
the furnishings blend most tremendously.
At the rear is large plate glass mirror,
concealng the cutting department., dressing
rooms, etc. The furniture is of massive,
solid oak The chairs and settees, of which
there is an abundance are upholstered in
solid leather, and made from special de-
signs. 1t is this advocacy Of modern ideas,
and this prompt adoption of up-to-date
methods and timely thoughts. that has
brought success to Young & McMurray and
given them the lead among the few thor
onph1v artistic failorS Of this Mr.
McMurray aptly expresses it, I'VE are al
ways UP to date and usually season ahead
Of the times. We always remember that
there is nothing too good for our patrons"
To any one who would like to see what a
thoroughly modern tailoring establishment
is, a visit to Messrs. Young e. McMurray's
is ENJOYABLE.

The patriotism of Indianians, as displayed

cants for enlistment presented themselves
to Captain Black yesterday, eighteen of
whom were rejected for various causes.
The hospital corps received several addi-
tons, three of which were notable. DIR.

ana regiment became tired of waiting and
corps Of the regular army. William Schewe,
who has seen seven years service in the
German army as a hospital steward, also
came into the fold with Leopold Mates, a
South Bend pharmacist. These three, with
Charles A. Carlyle, of this city, were sent
to Fort Sheridan to take a course in prac-
teal army methods of hospital work. The
artillery received seven additions in the per-
sons of Hugh Lydon, of this city; Bert
Pope, of Marshall, ILL.,; James d. Edwards,
OF Muncte; August Stratemeyer, of Bates
vile; w. j. Adams and William CARPENTER,
Of Orestes, and Charles S. MUIR, of Cory
don. MUIR is an old soldier, having drawn
his discharge from Fort Thomas three
years ago. The infantry was increased by
the addition of Louis A. Pitzer, of Indian
apolis;- Arthur L. Hartley, of Kit, and Mar
shall L. Fleming, of Colfax. Fleming has
seen seven years service in the English
army in nearly every quarter of the world,
and shows the effects of his contact with a
fine school of military ethics. AS the equip
cruits for the artillery service from now on
will be sent to Pensacola.

TRIED TO GET HIM OUT.
Mother Who Did Not Want Her Son
Operated Upon.

The natural soIicitude of mother for her
son was never more strongly exemplif1ed
than yesterday, when the mother of a re-
cruit sent from this city about a month ago
by Captain Black came into the recruiting
station nearly distracted by the intelligence
sent by the young man, who is now sta
toned at Tampa, to the effect that he is
sick at that point and the army surgeons
have decided that an operation will be
necessary to put him in good condition
again. The young man is Charles Brooks,
of West Indianapolis, and until he was
taken sick he sent frequent letters to his
mother telling her how much he liked his
new service, even going to the length OF
stating that he had captured the heart Of a
Cuban girl at Tampa. He spoke enthusiast
tically of the country and his duties until
the time when he became troubled with en-
larged glands caused mainly by his being
unaccustomed to the ordeal of marching and
drills
The army surgeons decided that an opera
ton would make him as good as new and
he gave his consent to the PLAN OF all this
ne advised his mother who, naturally So
licitous felt greatly alarmed at the idea
of her son being among strangers under
such circumstances and she at once decided
to take steps to secure bis discharge, with
or without his own consent. Captain Black
very gently explained to her that there was
no need TO he alarmed over the sickness OF
her boy as he was receiving the best of
care and the operation is not of dangerous
kind. After pointing out TO her that the
Young man appeared satisfied with his own
position and did not betray any alarm over
his condition il would be better to allow
him to stay i'm the army if he wished TO do
So After a little reflection both the mother
and sister of the sick recruit decided that
the captain was right and went to their
homes much easier in mind.

Governors Appointment of the Nev
Regiment.

deS1memts
The Journal Thursday morning in an in
terview with George w. Fitch, of Lawrence
burg, said that the Governor had decided
to apportion the twelve companies of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Regiment, If it
is organized, among the counties of the
Third, Fourth, Sixth and Tenth districts,
naming them. On Wednesday Mr.. Fitch
was informed by the Governor as to what
counties were to form the regiment. Mr..
Fitch was anxious about Dearborn county.
The Journal also said that Governor Mount
was not fully determined on one or two of
the counties named. Before leaving the city
for his farm yesterday morning it is an
nounced that the Governor decided on two
changes in the schedule published Thursday.
He decided to add Rush county in the Sixth
district allotment and substitute Porter for
White in the Tenth. Otherwise the schedule
remains as published in the Journal Thurs
day. With these two changes the Govern
ors present plan Is understood to be as fol-
lows: Third district, Clark and Harrison
counties; Fourth district, Bartholomew,
Jefferson and Dearborn Sixth district,
Wayne, Shelby, Henry and Rush; Tenth dis
trict, Laporte, Lake and Porter.
Governor Mount said to a Journal repor-
ter before leaving that he would not at
tempt to designate where the companies
were to come from by towns, but would
simply call on the different counties to fur
nish their portion of the regiment.
