Many Of our preachers are ardent
gold bugs, and join in lauding "McKin-

money is abundant, while they are
calling loudly for their overdue and

Christians dishonest or simply unable
to pay their honest debts?

INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS.
A Trip Through the South Described
by Mr.. l.. Il. Greist.

Mr.. L. Il. Greist, of Indianapolis, now
connected with the United States Indus
trial Commission at Washington, d. c., as
official reporter, is now in the city for a
few days, en- route to Washington after an
extended trip with a subcommission
through Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee. The commission
ers composing the s~ubcommission were
Senate James H. Kyle, of Aberdeen, s. D.;
Representative l.. +. Livingston, of At
lanta, Ca; Mr.. f. A. Smyth, of Pelzer,
S. c.; Mr.. c.. j. Harris, of Dillsboro, N. c.,
and Mr.. M. d. Ratchford, OF Indianapolis,
formerly president of the United Mine
Workers of America.
The subcommission heard the testimony
Of some fifty witnesses in Charlotte, n. c.,
Atlanta, Ga. and Memphis, Tenn, drawn
from all classes, and found on every hand
evidences of general and growing prosper
ity. All classes have shared alike in the
improved conditions. and the increase in
the price of cotton of nearly 100 per cent.
in the past year has had a marked effect
upon both the large planter and the small
cropper or tenant farmer. and, through
them, upon all other branches of industry.
Almost without exception these States
afford equal school facilities to white and
colored children. the appropriation being
divided per capita of enrolment of both
races. Inc negroes snow an edSerneSS even
i'm excess of the whites to avail themselves
Of an education, and many manifest a
disposition to save money and buy small
farms and become independent. One Incl
dent was given Of a negro earning 6 cents
a day, supporting a family of five persons
in Charlotte and building a home at a cost
of $500 in ten years. Another, an ex-slave
in Tennessee, has bought and paid for two
hundred acres of land at an average price
of SIS an acre, and Is now free from debt.
The general plane of morality among
the negroes, Mr.. Greist says, seems to be
very low, but is improving with their edu-
cation; on the other hand, so per cent. of
the negro prisoners in one of the peniten-
tiaries can read and write, whereas, Of the
whole negro population of the State, less
than 10 per cent can do so.
The great value of industrial schools for
negroes in the South, as compared with
the higher institutions of literary learning,
is apparent. The higher literary n pro-
fessional education seems to be entirely
wasted in the great majority of cases.
All along the southern lines of railroads
| large cotton mills are being erected. with
surrounding villages of employees, and in a
| short time the South is destined to rival
New England as a manufacturing section.

slider Rivalry for Indfvfdu al
Honors-In the Marion Coun-
~

There is still a month Of the season of
the Tenpin League left, and the race for
individual honors is growing more excit-
ing. Knox leads the list in individual av-
erages, but he has a close second In Jay,
with Kroeckel and Kimmel following
closely. AL are within reaching distance
OF the championship. and there are a few
others in the league who can make rapid
strides toward the top before the season is
over. Alien leads the Marion County
League. with Brown and Graft close be-
hind. The race for the championship in
this league is interesting. Brown and Knox
will have to keep up a fast pace to prevent
themselves from being overtaken in their
respective leagues.

excellence OF its hats. The furnishing de-
partment starts with a complete and we'll
selected stock of the latest spring goods.
one OF the most popular hats this season
will be the soft, wide-brimmed felt, that
comes In all shades and sells for from 81

The new derby is not a radical change
In shape, but comes IN many shades. The
Danbury popular derby is designed and
made specially for this store n sells for

Their standard high grades are the Miller

lar trade at popular prices and will con-
tinue to do so with both hats and furnish

In A RECEIVERS HANDS
COURT PROCEEDINGS AFFECTING
WILLIAM BUsCHMANN & CO.
The Creditors Will Be Paid Dollar for
Dollar. Ii Is Said-Cases i'm
the County Courts

The firm OF William Buschmann & Co,
doing a general merchandise business at
the corner of Fort Wayne and Central ave-
nues and one of the pioneer business con-
Germs of Indianapolis, was placed in
receivers hands by Judge feathers late
yesterday afternoon on the petition of
August w. Buschmann, a member of the
firm. The liabilities of the firm are $4,000
and the assets over $4,000, and dollar for
dollar will be paid to the creditors.
In 1870 the business was established with
William Buschmann, ST., at the head OF the
firm. When he died in 1893 William Busch
mann, jr., assumed his fathers position
in the firm, and in 1894 A Buschmann sold
his interest to A. w. Buschmann. Since
that time the business has been conducted
under the firm name of William Busch
mann & Co.
The father left large estate and much
of the money was invested in the bust
ness, and many friends voluntarily loaned
the members of the firm money at per
cent. interest The firm has done a large
business, carrying a heavy credit patronage
and allowing bills to run indefinitely with
out interest. Considerable money is said
to have been lost through dishonest clerks.
and the losses were heavy on bad bills.
This constant drain has absorbed the
profits. 1t was brought out that the men,
bers of the firm had lived economically
and only allowed themselves $50 month
salary each for their services and declaring
no dividends.
The suit was brought by August w.
Buschmann in order that a receiver might
take charge of the business SO that the
constant leakage might be stopped and the
creditors receive dollar for dollar, and TO
protect 81 900 worth of property that per-
sonally belongs TO the plaintiff. The suit
in no way affects the Buschmann estate.
A. r. Hovey appeared for the defendant
and the plaintiff was represented by Chas.
n. Thompson. The hearing was short, and
Henry Kothe was appointed receiver. Mr..
Thompson and Herman Lieber going on his
bond.

MR.. M'ABEE RETURNS.
He Investigated q Boiler Explosion
That Killed Four Men.

State Factory Inspector McAbee returned
yesterday afternoon from Anthony, Della
ware county, where he has been inquiring
into the cause OF the terrific boiler expIo-
sion which occurred in a sawmill at that
place a few days ago. resulting in the loss
OF four lives and seriously wounding three
others. Mr.. McAbee said the explosion was
terrible. as the debris was scattered over
an area covering more than thirty acres OF
ground.
The boiler itself was blown into pieces
no larger than a mans hand. Mr.. McAbee
said he had picked up brick OF the foun-
Dalton for the boiler more than a hundred
and fifty yards away from the mill. A Pc
culiar thing about those who were killed
and wounded is the fact that but two of
the men killed belonged TO the mill The
others killed and wounded were farmers
who were hauling logs to the mill. Mr..
McAbee said the explosion was caused by
the water pump falling TO work and the en-
gineer not opening the fire door TO allow
the fire to die down while he was trying 70
repair the pump.
