A STRONG ENDORSEMENT
JAMES WHITCOMB PRAISE
OF TECHNICAL SCHOOL.
He Believes IT the Best Educational
Proposition OF the P~resent-The
Other subscriptions.

James Whitcomb Riley subscribed $3.50
yesterday toward the fund for the purchase
of the arsenal grounds, and in doing so
gave the technical school movement his un-
qualified Endorsement. Mr.. Riley said to
George w. Brown in making the subscrip-
ton that the technical school is the best
educational proposition that the citizens of
Indianapolis could consider at the present
time.
Charles w. Moores, of the Board of school
Commissioners, also Endorsed the move
ment and signed his name to a subscription
blank that calls for $500. The fund was also
increased by a subscription from w. J.
Holiday & Co. of $3.50. DR.. p. H. Jameson
subscribed 800 yesterday. Other subscrip-
lions in smaller amounts brought the total
for the day UP to s1,05O.
During the past week the canvassers Sc
cured pledges for 1880. While the results
of the week are not inconsiderable, the can
vassers realize that for the next ten days
the money must come in faster If the move
ment is to be a success. Ten days is about
the limit of the time they expect to have,
and an average of $4,000 a day will have to
be given by the people of Indianapolis to
make up the sum of $780, 900 required to
make the deal with the government. 1t
is expected that the moral influence of a
~ VA AoAoO OAAt NAaG ia
been made the past two weeks, and the in
dorsement given by Mr.. Riley, Mr.. Moores
and others will tend to bring out other
liberal subscriptions in the next few days.
In response to letters from the commit
tee of ten, the ministers of the city's
churches will to-day make appeals to their
congregations I'm behalf of the technical
school. Letters have been sent also by the
committee to druggists and grocers asking
that they interest their customers in the
movement and that they keep subscription
lists. Special letters have been sent to per-
sons of large means who might be expected
to give literally and also to factories for
the purpose of interesting large numbers
of employees. By all these means the COM
mittee expects to raise the $40, 900 pledged by
Ii without great difficulty.
Word has been received that Secretary
Root will be unable from press of business
I'm the War Department to take UP the dis
position of the arsenal grounds for at least
ten days, probably longer. In view of the
extension of time the canvassers believe
that people generally will now come for
ward and make the school a certainty.

How to Economic Fuel.

Mr.. A. A. Barnes. president of the Udell
Works. says: Il applied the Chamberlin
Metal Weather Strip TO the windows in nv
residence, 17O North Meridian street, and
like them very much. They keep out cold
air, dust and SCOT and prevent soiling of
draperies. 1 can recommend them highly"
Mr.. Barnes. being a practical man, knows
a good thing when he sees il. Ask him
Do you know that the Chamberlin Metal
Strip will save you from 10 TO 20 per cent. in
your fuel bill, and when you consider the
price of coal this coming winter you know
This means something. 1t does not matter
how much coal you feed into the furnace n
your windows and doors are not tight
YOUR house will be cold. The Chamberlfn
Metal Strip makes your windows abso-
lutely tight and dust proof, keeps your win
dows from rafting and will last as long
as the building stands.
We nave equipped over 5000 windows in
this city in the last six months, and can
substantiate every statement we make re-
garding our strip. You will find after you

NOT A LOSING VENTURE
MANAGERS OF THE STATE FAIR NOT
DISCOURAGED.
Officers Of the Board of Agriculture
VIII mt once Begin Work for
Next Year.

Despite the unfavorable weather and the
fnopportune rains of last week the officers
Of the State Board Of Agriculture announce
that. instead Of the fair being a losing
venture, Ii was a profitable one and that
more than 5000 was cleared. 1t is the
opinion OF the secretary OF the board,
Charles II. Downing. that If the rains had
not spoiled the days racing on Thursday
n the threatening weather and muddy
condition of the grounds kept thousands of
people away from the fair Friday $4,000 net
would have been realized from the fair.
As 1t was the number Of paid admissions
for the days when the weather was IA
vorable and the revenue derived from the
visitors on other days was very large and
compares favorably with a number Of fairs
OF former years. The disappointment of
both Secretary Downing and President M.
s. CIaypool over the weather is natural,
they think, as their intention to make the
jubilee Fair one to be remembered by flu
ture old Inhabitants was justified by the
prospects of a successful fair until the
the racing.
Most people do not realize what an in
terest the people took in the fair this year.
said Secretary Downing. The fact that
the fair was the jubilee one OF Indiana
caused many people who never even
thought OF coming to indianapolis before to
visit the fair this year. As IL is we lost
no money, and even if the weather was I'M
kind to us we are thankful that we pro-
vided a good show for the people interested
IN Indiana's progress.
Most OF the premiums have been paid.
and / am ready to start to work Monday
morning on the next fair. Although the
weather cast a damper over the fair, we
are much gratified at the loyal support OF
the people Of the State, and will not be
disheartened IN our attempts at fairs in the
future"
The number OF people who came to In
dianapolis last week attracted by the fair
exceeded any previous fair crowd by thou
sands. The railroads and electric lines re-
ported many thousands of out-of-town Wis
itors each day OF last week. and the hotels
were unable TO all OF the ap-
plicants for rooms. Most OF the people
left for their homes Friday. and the exhib-
ftors OF hogs. cattle and other live stock
shipped their animals away Friday night.
The exhibitors at the grounds dismantled
their decorations late FRIDAY night, and
trains OF express wagons and other con-
veyance were busy until late in the night
and all OF yesterday in hauling the stun
10 Indianapolis for shipment. The Monon
siding at the fair grounds was a busy place
yesterday, and much freight was Shipped
away from there over this road.

ALEXANDER DOWNIE DEAD.
He Was Accidentally Shot Some Time
Ago by DIR. j.. HI. Parsons.

Alexander Downie, who was shot by DR..
j. H. Parsons five months ago, died yester-
day morning at his home, 1O17 West Pearl
street. Downie's death had been expected
for several days. Shortly after the shoot
ing he became a hopeless paralytic and
his constitution was undermined.
Downie was accidentally shot by DR..
Parsons one day at noon in front of the
Acme flour mills. DR.. Parsons had been an
noyed by bad boys yelling "quack'' at him.
The day of the shooting he was on his
way home TO dinner when a crowd of boys
near the mills yelled at him. He turned
quickly and fired toward the crowd.
Downie was on the sidewalk going to work
at the flour mills. He received the bullet
intended for the boys. The bullet grazed
the spinal column, causing paralysis.
The Downie family is in destitute cir
cumstances. Mrs. Downie is left with
seven children, three of whom are large
enough TO work. The Oldest girl earns So
a week. another girl earns 81 a week and a
boy fourteen years of age earns So a week.
This is said TO be the only income the fam
lily receives. Before Mr.. Downie was shot
he received a salary of $50 a month and
was able TO provide for the family.

Railway "Smash-Up."

Yesterday morning as the c.
& E. train from the coast was
pulling into Philomath, it caught
a hay wagon containing T. w.
Hudson and. Milton Wyatt as
they were endeavoring to cross
the track and it is a miracle that
both of the men were not killed.
The wagon was cut squarely
in two and the hind wheels re-
mained on one side of track,
while the horses ran off with the
forewheels and hounds. Both of
the men were thrown some dis
tance. Milton Wyatt was picked
up unconscious and bruised about
the head. His condition is faot
considered serious. 7. w. Hud-
son Jared far worse. His thigh
was badly broken, and be was
otherwise bruised.
The railroad officials rendered
every assistance to the injured
men. Mr.. Hudson they brought
to Corvallis and arranged to have
Drs. Pernot and Farra take
charge of him on his arrival.
He was taken to the Tunison
home, near the court house, and
his fractured limb set and made
as comfortable as possible. 1t is
hoped that in time both men will
fully recover. T.
The accident occurred right in
Phiionlath. 1t is stated that no
blame can be attached to the rail-
road officials, as the train was on
time, the whistle had been sound
ed giving warning of the ap-
proach of the train, and the bell
was ringing. 1t is said that there
was a small clump of bushes that
obscured the train from the men
in the wagon until they turned
across the track, and then it was
too late for them to save them
selves.

Word reached this city Satur-
day evening to the effect that
James Moore had been drowned
In the Willamette river between
Harrisburg and Peoria about a

what can be ascertained, it ap-
pears that Mr.. Moore was assist

water and he grasped a small

James Moore was about 43
years of age and had lived here
for many years. He leaves a
widow and five children. He
was a son of Mrs. o. J. Treese

He Wants to Know.

EDITOR GAZETTE: Since the
Inauguration of the free ferry the
county court has authorized the
ferryman to collect fees for ser
vices beyond certain hours. The
ferryman is authorized to appro-
pirate such fees. to his own use.
It is presumed the court has fixed
these charges, but we have net
found anyone who knows what
they are. We have heard COM
plant, in number of in
stances, that excessive fees have
been demanded by and paid to
the ferryman. In justice to him,
and for the protection of the
public, the rates authorized for

The practice is vicious. Reason.
