a motion for the appointment of a per-
manent receiver for the J. Glib Smith
company, appraisers, limitation OF

thority to continue the business and pay

itors committee it was the conclusion
that the firm is not clearly insolvent,
but that by proper adjustment $4,000
can be realized over the liabilities.

Folks Brother Shot in Philippines.
Sad News Read by Our Congressman Re-
turning From Kansas City.

When the Pennsylvania delegation
train reached Indianapolis Sunday
afternoon Congressman Rufus *.
Polk, in company with Ex-Governor
Pattison, was on his way to the lunch
room for refreshments, when he was
stopped by a newsboy,who asked him
to buy a paper. The genial Con-
gresham from the Seventeenth dis,
trict looked at the boy for a moment
and laughed and said: 81 guess we
will have paper, sonny" and taking
the paper which the boy handed him,
gave him a nickel and walked slowly
to the restaurant carrying the paper
in his hand.
After the lunch order was given
Congressman Polk glanced over the
pages of the paper, and, seeing a
heading casualties in the Philip
pines," said: "Well, here's news from
our boys who are fighting across the
sea-" Suddenly his face grew white,
and, turning to John G.. McHenry,
delegate from this district, and p. E.
Radle, chairman of Northumberland
county, both of which counties are in
Polk's Congressional district, said with
tears in his eyes: my God, boys,
Luclus has been shot. l am sorry the
papers don't say whether or not he
has been badly hurt. l must &c
straight through to Washington and
get what information | can from the
War Department, as his mother will
no doubt hear of this and worry her
self to death unless she knows he is
not badly hurt"
The injured brother of Congress
man Polk is named Luclus f.. Polk,
and is resident of Columbia county
Tenn, from which State he was ap-
pointed as captain in the Forty-third
Volunteer Regiment in 1898 by
President Mckinley, and has ever
since been performing active service
He was first assigned to duty in Cuba
but since last October has been in the
Philippines.
