During a recent visit to that hive OF in

that in most of the great manufacturing

Sponsibility were filed by men who were
yet several years on this side of the prime
Of life. That such young heads should so
often be directing vast industrial concerns
IS due in part 10 the amazing rapidity with
which new industries have sprung up dur
ing the past decade, and in part 70 the fact
that the keen competition of the age calls
for the adaptiveness and energy which are
the natural qualities OF youth.

THEY THAT RENTED HORSES.
Creditors of L.. A. Nageleisen Fear
They VIII Lose.

The bankruptcy petition filed in the Of
fee of the United States clerk a few
days ago by Lawrence A. Nageleisen
proves TO have an interesting connection
with the National Guard camp Of instruc-
ton held at the fair grounds last week.
Nageleisen and his brother, the latter a
resident Of Piqua. o.. have been conduct
ing a livery stable at ODD East Wabash
street.
When Quartermaster General Foster was
casting about for some one TO supply
enough horses to equip the hundred or
more officers of the National Guard dur
ing the week OF the camp. Lawrence y.
Nageleisen submitted a proposition that
met with General Fosters favor, and a
contract was entered into whereby Nagel-
eisen was to furnish all the horses used
in the camp. In order to get together
enough animals Mr.. Nageleisen was obliged
TO rent a number from citizens or lndlanap-
oils and residents of the surrounding coun-
try.
pie who rented their animals to Nageleisen
have learned of the bankruptcy petition.
and they fear that they Will not get the
amount Of money agreed upon as a rental
for their horses. Several cases of unusual
interest have come TO light. One of these
is the case Of Lew Brennan, a hackman
who stands on North Illinois street. near
Washington. Brennan found that his cab
needed painting about the time the camp
of instruction began and, being approached
by Nageleisen with an offer for himself
and team for the week. concluded 1t would
be a good idea TO put his cab in the
paint shop and pass the week in camp.
Brennan is now In great distress. thinking
that he will be left ITO hold the bag

did not believe the people who rented

the bankruptcy proceedings. In ali prob
ability the State will pay the money into
court, with a statement of the situation.
and ask that the money be paid TO the
persons who rented their horses for use in
the camp.
Considerable complaint IS being made
about the alleged loose methods that pre-
vailed at the barns during the week Of
the camp. A number of officers who pro-
vided their horses with new halters assert
that somebody transferred the halters TO
other animals. leaving In their stead pieces
of old rope. At least one staff officer has
filed a claim against the State for 81. 80
! on account Of the loss OF a fine new hal
ter. Other complaints Of the same kind
are expected 10 be filed.

latter has 5000 men in the interior of the

Senior Perez explained that in Colombia
there has always been a certain degree of
antagonism between the Masons and the

also bought 2,000,00 cartridges in Belgium

siderable need of ammunition. All this

months ago to Colombia in sailing vessels,
labeled as potatoes and asparagus.

that he has been negotiating for large

vessels with a view to their possible sale
and their conversion into ships of war. He is

kind and that after Colonel Murillo left
Savanilla on the steamer Allegheny, from
which he was taken ashore as a prisoner,
