The meeting OF the National Confer
ence of Charities and Corrections in
PHILADELPHIA seems to have brought de-
served distinction to Indiana. The Sc
lection of a president for the conference
was practically left to Indiana. and
Thomas E. Ellison, of Fort Wayne. and
Timothy Nicholson. of Richmond, were
both mentioned. The choice finally fell
to Mr.. Nicholson, who is admirably
equipped by reason of experience and
zeal for the position. That the charity
work OF Indiana is on such high plane
as to receive commentator from many
in the convention is cause for congratu-
lation.

The church had two good services
Sunday. Rev. Folks who is to be the
resident pastor here ana who will preach
every alternate Lord's Day, preached
both morning and evening. He is an
able mana man Of Bethany college.
The church is greatly encouraged and
pleased at having obtained his services.
He will preach again June 2.
In the sermon of the morning he drew
4 very beautiful lesson from tho life of
Nehemiah. who rebuilt the walls Of Je-
rusalem. We as the people of old, il
we desire to accomplish anything, must
kave mind to work.
The prominent thought in the evening
was sil that the gospel OF Christ is the
power of God unto salvation to everyone
that believeth.

THE SMALLER CITIES.

Indiana has a number of cities with
population ranging from Is, 900 to 10000
XLich are rare illustrations of the pros
porous towns in which the inhabitants
enjoy all the essential advantages of
larger city, and some very desirable adj
vantages which most large cities do not
offer the mass OF people. One OF these
cities which was visited the past week
by number of people Is Logansport.
1t is an old and substantial place, the
center of a productive agricultural
region, and of large and steady trade
and the seat of manufactures OF consider
able importance. 1t is not growing
rapidly, but all about the town are evil
dencee of well-to-do permanence. 1t has
an unusually large number of large and
stately residences and more less preten-
tious homes in ample gseunds. bearing
evidence to the prosperous circumstances
of the occupants. The town has people
who ass poor, but it is stranger to that
hopeless poverty which abounds in large
cities. 1t has no starving populace with
the attendant repulsive squalor,
Logansport is spoken of because it is
one OF the several similarly comfortable
cities in Indiana. And yet there are
people in all these cities who are not
satisfied with them. Going about, one
may hear complaints that if certain men
were more enterprising the city migi t
be the seat of larger industries and the
home of a grester population. Those
making these complaints would have the
stir and hustle of the larger city, and be-
cause they do not have it. they find fault
with others. Yet there are things more
important than six or seven figures N

cities whose populations are below 1OO.-

N TERROR OF THE HIGHBINDER.
Departs Mysterfously Becau.e He Receive
Threatening Lettors.

Muncie, Ind, May 22.-In deadly
fear that the Highbinders will kidnap
or kill him, Moy-Sang, an educated,
naturalized Chinaman, has departed
.mysterfously, in company with his
brother, and neither can be found.
Moy showed his white friends many
threatening letters purporting to come
from the Highbinders, which ordered
him. under penalty of death, to leave
Muncie. Some Of these letters were
mailed at Indianapolis. He was told
in them that he would be arrested
and held responsible for the death of
Sam-Sing-Lee, a Chinaman, who died
suddenly Of heart disease here a few
months ago.
4 few days ago a mysterious China
man appeared in Muncie and visited
Moy-Sang. When he departed Moy
was in agony of fear. Then Moy-
Sang left, and no trace of him can be
discovered. He recently started new
laundry here, thereby gaining the Ell
nifty of other Chinese merchants Of
the city, with some of whom he for
merly was identified In business.

Havana, May 21.-During the de-

yesterday on the Plat amendment re-
port Senior Cisnercs took occasion to
say that the copmission which went
to Washington did not investigate pub
lie feeling in the United States re-

should have done, but that they al
lowed themselves to be ''steered' by
administration sympathizers, and took
no opportunity to hear anything con-
trary to the amendment.

Frankfort, Ind, May PIP. NJ.
Dunn, of Forest, newspaper editor,
school teacher and church worker, is
fugitive from justice, with charge
of forgery hanging over him. These
facts, which became known Monday
night, caused one of the greatest sen
sations the city and county has had in
months. The police have been search
ing for him since early Monday even
ing, but it is evident that he has made
his escape The charge of forgery is
made by j. W. Goar, of the firm of
Dunn, Goar & Dunn, contractors, of
Forest. The accused is a relative Of
both the Messrs. Dunn in the firm.
Must Have Led Dual Life.
There is no cause assigned for
Dunn's downfall So far as known, he
had no bad habits. His life, as seen
by the world, has always been exemp-
larry, but, judging from the amount of
forgeries that are said to be coming
to light, he must have led a dual life,
as his legitimate expenses did not re-
quire anything like the outlay of
money he must have INDUCED in. 1t is
said that he will be vigorously prose
cuted If apprehended.
