MUST DO THEIR DUTY.


At the meeting of the Indiana State
Board of Health yesterday it was deter
mined to insist in the future on the strict
enforcement of .he health laws Of the
State. Health officers will be required to
do their full duty under the law, and physi-
clans who fail to report deaths and births
to the health authorities will be held amen
able to the law. The board also took up
the case of the two health officers who
were charged with having failed to enforce
the health laws. A report the recent
smallpox epidemic read by DR.. Hurry,
secretary of the board. Reports from
Washington county say that out of 800
cases of smallpox only eighty-nine were
reported to the board. Physicians who
failed to report cases of which they had
knowledge will be called to account.

settlement May BE Reached by Nom
dny-The PIumbers' Strfke-CoaJ
Miners Conference.

The committee appointed by the carpen-
ters at joint meeting of the German and
English speaking unions Wednesday night
to wait upon the contractors and ascertain
what they intend 10 do in the strike. re-
ported to joint meeting last night. The
report was to have been a definite one but
the committee was unable to see all of the
contractors and was not prepared TO make
a final statement, but the report
encouraging that ii was decided TO allow
the committee to work to-day and have
another joint meeting tonight to hear the
result From work that has been done. the
carpenters feel that settlement Will soon
be reached and that all the men will be at
work Monday.
The committee said that all the contract
ors that had been seen expressed a will
ingness to pay 35 cents an hour and said
the carpenters ought to have it, but they
did not want to stand out and alone
against all the other contractors in paying
the scale. For the first time since the an
nouncement of the new scale there are in
dications that the contractors have been
talking the matter over and on this the
union bases its hope.
yesterday III was circulated that ali hefn-
bers of the union had not quit work. One
of the foremen for the William p. Jung
claus Company said the company was now
employing sixty or seventy men, about half
union and half nonunion, and that none
had left their places. Harry Travis, the
business agent of the union denied this
and said: There Is not member or the
union in good standing that has not obeyed
the order TO quit work, unless 1t is in few
places where they were permitted TO finish
some very important job. Mr.. Jungclaus
does not employ union men, or at least.
men who are recognized by the union. Any
statement that members of the union in
good standing are now at work is false and

FOR THE SOUTH SIDE
ORGANIZATION OF CIVIC AND M
PROvEMENT CLUB COMPLETED.
Ii VIII He Capitalized at $4,000
The Purpose Of the Or
ganizatiOn.

The Indianapolis Civic and Improvement
Club met in the Seventh Presbyterian
Church last night to adopt articles of ASSOC
citation. There was much discussion over
changing the name, many of the members
wanting the South Side given more prom
inence in the name. so that there could be
a distinction and something to clearly rep
resent that it is entirely South Side move
ment. Various names were suggested from
South Side Society to the South Side
Improvement Federation" but 1t was final
ly decided to substitute South Side for
indianapolis" I'm the name under which 1t
had been going. and by unanimous vote the
question was forever settled and the incor-
poration papers for the South Side Civic
and Improvement Club will be filed as
soon as the members can attach their
names to the articles of association. The
remaining articles were adopted one by one
and then ii was adopted as whole.
This puts into existence a real organiza-
ton, and those who are behind 1t believe
the effect will be rapid increase in MEM
bership. At the last meeting eighty men,
bers were reported. and last night the num-
Der had swelled to $50. A meeting of the
club will be held Tuesday, April IL, TO elect
a board of governors, which will be the
last step towards perfecting the organIza-
ton. The board of governors will then
elect president. vice presidents, secretary
and treasurer.
The articles of association set out that
the capital stock of the club shall be SIS, 000
divided into shares of 50. and that the
whole amount is to be expended on the
clubhouse and its equipments. IL Is also
set out that the building shall be within a
half-mile of Fountain square, at Prospect
street and Virginia avenue. The purpose
OF the club is TO promote the social ana in
dustrial welfare of the South Side
The movement has been Endorsed by near
~ all OF the citizens who live south. of
Washington street, and ii is thought there
will be little effort I'm raising the required
amount of stock to begin the building. The
desire is TO have as many as possible take
small shares. but there Is no limit. and one
man has offered to invest $1,000 i'm the en-
terprise.

THE CLOSING SERVICE.


Rev. w. II. Geistweit. pastor of the
Tabernacle Baptist Church in Chicago,
who is conducting evangelistic meetings
at the First Baptist Church, gave an inter-
estng talk yesterday afternoon to chill
dren especially. although there was fair
sized audience of the older members OF
the church present. Mr.. Geistweit illus
trated his talk which was on THE Mes
sages of the Candles" with colored can
dies of various sizes in reference to the
two texts: Christ's words, IL am the
light of the world" and Christ's words
to the deciples, Eye are the light of the
world.
last night. The subject was THE Royal
Invitation" In the course of his remarks
the evangelist said: THE parable OF the
marriage supper, as given in Luke. is
fitting illustration of the gospel invitation.
The picture is that of time when the
great feast in heaven shall be spread, to
which all the world Is now invited-who-
soever will accept the invitation. The pic
ture is that of gospel that is free to
every one.
''All week long have / been urging you
to a higher and better life here; let me
tonight make you h0mesick for heaven.
Interested as we are in the life we are
living. and rightly so, it is too true that
we shall not be here very long either TO
enjoy or endure life. 1t is a terrible con-
templation-to suppose anyone falling
short of heaven. If you are so unfortu-
nate as TO be among those that are lost, IL
is well to remember that God never made
hell for a human soul; IL was prepared for
the devil and his angels; whoever goes
there Is an intruder; hell was not made
for man.
Everything Is ready; pardon is ready
before "A man comes. Christ died for all
men: so all men can be saved IL they will.
How can pardoned soul suffer? That is
a simple question TO answer: prisoner
may refuse his pardon. though IL be freely
offered TO him; to make his pardon eff
fective he must accept 1t; thousand par
dons will not set "A prisoner free IL he re-

Taken by the southern Railway.

LOUISVILLE. KY, April 6.-The South
ern Railway is now virtually the owner OF
the Airline Railroad, through a deal con-
summated in Boston to-day, whereby 1T Sc
cured control of the entire issue of the first
mortgage bonds amounting to 100000. A
telegram was received I'm this city from
member of the bondholders committee,
telling him that an offer had been made
by representatives of the Southern for the
bonds and he asked that the offer be con-
sidered and a reply be made as quickly as
possible. The local bondholders. who con-
troll a majority of the issue, held con-
sultation and it was decided to accept the
offer. The second-mortgage bondholders In
this city, however, look at the sale in an
entirely different light, and some are OF
the opinion that they will be unable to
realize much on their holdings. inasmuch
as the Southern Railroad already owns the
third or consolidated mortgage bonds. II Is
now I'm a position to dictate to the holders
of the second-mortgage bonds.

given:
