of Pythias, was at the English yesterday
afternoon and left for his home last even
ing Before going he said the recent en-
campment of the Uniform Rank In this
city had done great work in stimulating
the growth of the organization in Indiana.
He said not only had the growth been
phenomenal but greater general interest
had been aroused than during any other
period in the history Of the organization.
AS an indication of the increase In MEM
bership, he said, the Indiana lodges had
gained 1900 new members since last July.
He said one of the healthy indications was
that the tendency was to buy lodge homes
instead of renting property and to enlarge
the membership in lodges instead or IN
creasing the number of lodges

He Talks of Politics, Hinshaw and
Electric Roads.

State Senator Enoch G. Hogate was at
the Spencer House for short time last
night on his way home to Danville after
a trip through some of the northern coun-
ties in the State. He said he found indi-
cations strongly favorable to Republi-
can victory everywhere. He said, al
though there had been some talk Of an eff
fort being made for the pardon of Hin
shaw, the Bellville preacher now In prison
for the murder of his wife, he thought there
was little hope for his release and that it
was safe to say that he would stay in
prison for several years to come. He said
the much-talked-of electric road to Dan
VILE was not being agitated as much as
1T had formerly been, and that more re-
Gently there had been talk of road to
Plainfield. He said he thought the Dan
Vile road should be a profitable invest
ment as the cost of construction would not
be unusually great and large travel might
be expected, particularly in the way Of
theater parties which are now almost i'm
possible because of the expense of the trip
and the railway facilities.
