THE CENTER OF BUSINESS DEVEL-
OPMENT.

a correspondent who has been impressed
by the immensely of the business interests
of the country as seen in the transactions
OF the banking houses in New York was
advised TO stop over in Indianapolis and
ask conservative business men here TO aid
him in taking a comprehensive view of the
business of Indiana He did so. and found
indianapolis the center of wonderful activ-
ity. The coal fields are being brought into
close connection with the cities of the gas
belt. Trunk lines of railway are being
improved. the companies constructing new
sidngs and erecting new buildings Some
thing of what the correspondent saw in this
regard is better stated in his own words. as
follows:
Within radius of fifty miles of Indian
apolis are twenty or thirty vigorous. and
i'm some respects new. manufacturing
towns. They are now boiling over with
energy. Idle men cannot be found. Glass
furnaces are blazing through the summer
when they ordinarily are idle. Steel and
iron mills are running night and day. In
short they are as busy as they be. and
calling for more hands 10 do more work
These towns are being connected by a sys-
TEN of interurban railways. which has sew
eral hundred miles OF track. Ii is fine sys-
tenn. with me equipment. Spurs run out
from the main lines 10 villages. and ii Is
likely that few sections in the whole coun-
try show such fine development although
the trolley is going everywhere men live
Indianapolis is the center OF this system
and naturally shows the most wonderful
DEVELOPMENT. Manufacturing in all lines is
having a wonderful impetus. The construc-
ton of large power and Office buildings
downtown and OF manufacturing buildings
Is proceeding with amazing strides. Men OF
business are strainlng every nerve 10 meet
the requirements OF business.

MURDERER PUT TO DEATH.
Frank Wennerholm Killed by Elcc-
tricity in Auburn Prison.

AUBURN, n. Y. July 16-Frank Wen
nerholm, the Chautauqua county murderer
was put 10 death by electricity in the pris-
on here to-day. The current was turned
on one minute and five seconds, and the
man was pronounced dead. When he took
his seat in the chair Wennerhoim appeared
to be on the point of utter collapse. As
the strap over the face was put in position
the doomed man tossed his head nervous
" TO one side and uttered low moan.
The current was 800 volts and seven am
peres which was reduced after two seconds
TO 200 volts for half minute and then
increased TO its original strength fer two
seconds. when IL was again reduced to 2o0
volts for half minute and increased to
500 when 1t was turned off and the man
was dead

The shocking accident yesterday at
Broad Ripple. by which two boys were
burned TO death, their mother badly in
jured and a poor mans home destroyed,
suggests the inquiry whether something
cannot be done to curb the fatal folly of
trying to light kitchen fires from coal-oil
cans. 1t is fully as dangerous as blowing
into the muzzle of loaded gun, and the
practice seems as difficult TO eradicate.

Wherein HOhenlOhe Was Right.
Omaha Bee

Prince Hohenohe, who succeeded Bis
marck as chancellor of the German en-
pire. is dead. So far as his reputation is
concerned he unfortunate in rising in
the shadow of that great name, and his
abilities were hardly appreciated for that
reason. To Americans and America he was
more friendly than either his predecessor
or successor. His refusal to listen to the
clamor for repressive measures which
would have been hurtful to trade with this
country, while it served us we'll. also shows
him to have been man of keener insight
into affairs than he is generally credited
with being. If those measures ever gain
complete accordance and bring about trade
reprisals Germany will learn that Hohen-
lohe was right in maintaining that the
United States can live within itself, but
Germany is dependent both for raw ma
terial and market for its manufactures.
