Light ArtilIery's Unprecedented Drill
Last Night.

Affairs were lively at the quarters of the
Indianapolis Light Artillery last night and
TIE armory at Senate avenue and Sixteenth
street had much the appearance of bar
racks in time of war. One hundred citizen
soldiers some in uniform and some with
store clothes" swarmed through the build
ing, marching double quick at the Of
ficers' command and talking war in the
rest intervals. There was a sprinkling of
the fair sex also scattered through the
parlors, watching the drill and some of
them saying very realistic gcod-byes to
certain llue-coated candidates for military
distinction.
At no time during the history of the Light
Artillery has there been such interest dis

IRVlNGTON CYCLE PATH.
County Commissioners willing to Aid
in Construction.

committee of L. A. w. members. con-
sisting OF Evans Woollen, Merrill Moores
and W. w. Knapp, waited on the County
Commissioners yesterday with a proposition
concerning the building of the Irvington
cycle path. 1t is proposed that a bicycle
path, eight to ten feet wide, along the south
side of the National road be built from the
city limits at the Belt railroad to the west
elm limits of Irvington. The length of the
path would be about one mile. The stretch
OF road along which it is desired to build
the path connects the extreme limits of the
improved streets in Irvington and Indianap-
oils. The. Wheelmen's League has secured
a right of way along the road and $3.50 has
been subscribed for the proposed path by
the citizens of 1rvington. The scheme is
now Tor the county to pay the balance of
the $4UO required to perform the work
The question involved is as to the right
OF the County Commissioners TO build and
maintain such a path. County Attorney
Brown IS in doubt regarding the legality Of
such an action and is now looking up the
authorities. The commissioners express
themselves as perfectly willing to make the
appropriation If. in doing So they can Keen
within their authority. The following is a
list of the property owners along the pro-
posed line of the new cycle path who have
given their consent to the project: III j

we have had great number of them tend

guilty party, but the detectives on running
them down. always found that they were
rumors and had no legitimate foundation"
When asked his view of the affair he said
that his judgment was all the result OF the
testimony he and his men had brought TO
light and without prejudice he was as
sured of Moore's guilt and at the proper
time would prove it. While willing and anX-
iouS to work out every clew presented in
the case, he is so far unable to believe IN
the guilt OF Derk De Ruiter or any other
man but Moore. Sergeant ClaWson. the en-
cinnati brother-in-law, he character1Zes as
prejudiced by hatred against De Ruiter ana
urges against his zeal the fact that ne

he, will prove the police department to be
in the right in their view of the matter, Tor
the exclusive information in possession OF
the police department on the subject, while
not now in shape for submission to the
public because of embarrassment to the
work of the department will be found con-
elusive enough to satisfy the sense OF JUS
tice of the people.
Moore's attorneys nave the statement of
several reliable witnesses who saw Moore
down town in the neighborhood of o'clock
Friday afternoon. Saloon Keeper Weiss is
even positive that he was in his saloon be-
fore 1:40 O'Clock. Weiss's bartender was to
have relieved his employer watch at
o'clock, but appeared at lao, as Weiss
distinctly remembers. Moore had been in
the place before the bartender came.

The Advertiser and the Editor.

NauOndl ADVERTISER.
According to e. L. Godkin. of the New
York Evening Post, the shadow of the adj
vertiser falls chill and paralyZng over the
editorial rooms Mr.. GodlSin says in the
Atlantic Monthly:
1.-THE advertiser, rather than the sub
scriber, is now the newspaper boyle. He
is the person before whom the publisher
covers, and whom he tries to please and
the advertiser is very Indifferent about the
opinions Of q newspaper. What interests
him most is the amount or quality of its
circulation. What he wants to know is,
how many persons see II, not how many
PERSONS agree with ii, The consequence is
that the newspapers of largest circulation,
published in the great centerS of popula-
ton where most votes are cast are less and
less organs of opinions, especially in Amer
lea. In fact, In some cases the advertisers
use their infuence-Which is great, and
which the increasing. competition between
newspapers makes all the greater-to pre-
vent the expression in newspapers OF what
is probably the prevailing local view of men
OF events"
Perhaps Mr.. Godkin is able to reconcile
the first part of this paragraph with the
culatiol and nothing for opinions, why
should they try to prevent the expression
of a papers views on any matter. Again,
if the advertiser cares nothing for paper
opinions, how can he be "A boyle? The fact
is that an advertiser with a thimbleful of
brains under his scalp cares vast deal
for a journals character and policy. He
knows how these things bear on the re-
suits of advertising The paper with which

rate for its advertisements. relatively, than
some of its neighbors with six times its
circulation. Why? Because the readers of
the Evening Post are good buyers OF GER
tain articles. And why do these readers
buy the Post? Surely for it's tone. its ed
itorial utterances, it's manner of treating
public men and public events. No adver-
tiser as far as heard from, has tried to
modify the Evening Posts policy in any
particular There IS no reason why The
management of that paper should cover
before anybody. A prudent advertiser
takes papers opinions into consideration,
but does not seek to control them. As for
circulation, the National Advertiser has
shown how much obscurity and delusion
surround the subject. Naked statistics and
barren Sworn statements" are put out by
the acre, and what do they amount TO I'M
less some explanation goes with them?
How was the circulation gained and how
is it kept up? To what class does thet pa
per appeal? What are its opinions? What
are the conditions, political and industrial
of the community in which the paper is
read? These are problems for the adver-
tiser. He has one test of a paper-just one.
Does it pay? This question answered the
matter OF circulation becomes unimportant

men, with those taken in last night. to make
up its quota of 103. Forty-six of these have
been taken in since the rise of the war eX-

They have been carefully selected from the
host of applicants with view TO their So
cial desirability, their physical health and
appearance and their general fitness for MIL
1tary life. About dozen new men were
mustered in last night, keeping the three
clerks, the company surgeon and mastering
officer Lieutenant Gallon pretty busy TOR

parentage had TO be answered, including
catalogue of all the diseases known to medi-

oath of allegiance. Several former members
of the battery took the oath last night and
belong to the State for three years again.

far as to telegraph some of their men who

IRVINGTON'S TWO TICKETS.
The Peoples Convention Puts Up
Nominees.

A peoples ticket was nominated at Try"
ington last night, between sixty and sew
enty citizens of the suburb being in at
tendance. This means the second ticket in
the field, and it is supposed to be the course
of the present Town Board which, the
supporters of the peoples ticket claim. has
raised the tax rate from $1.69 to SOS, and
has ordered an extensive brick pavement
for Washington street. The city's share of
the cost of this will be in the neighborhood
of $3.566. 1t is insisted the improvement was
ordered over the protest of a majority of
the property owners. 1t is further claimed
that clique of material contractors are
dominating the affairs at Irvington. The
nominations made last night on the peoples
ticket are as follows
Trustee Second Ward--W. r. McVey.
Trustee Third Ward-J. c. Barnhil.
Trustee Fifth Ward-John Human.
Treasurer-W. j. Coons.
Clerk-C. b. Clarke.
Marshal-Samuel H. Smith.
There will probably be no Republican
suburban convention this year.

POSITIVE OF MooRE's GUILT.
The Police Claim to Have Exclusive
Information.

Last night reporter approached Superin-
tendent QuigIey with the remark that late
developments brought to light by private
investigation of disinterested parties tended
TO show Moore in a more favorable light and
was liable, if substantiated and worked to
the bottom, TO throw the blame in other
quarters. At this the superintendent was
all attention and quickly asked what the
information was specifically. The reporter
was unable TO furnish details and said so,
only intimating that the information was
said 10 be not merely an idle rumor but
clear statement OF facts. the deduction from
which was that ii destroyed the chance for
proving a motive for murder Moore's
part and, moreover went a long way to-
ward strong reasons why Moore should de-
sire his wife to live.
