THE ..PREP" Il DISAPPEARING.


The prep" will soon be an unknown fea-
ture in Wabash College life if he keeps
thinning out as he has in the last few
years. Dr. w p. Kane president of the
college. who is at the Hotel English, said
last night that the college is no longer
offering what is known as a regular pre-
paratory course Last year the college had
sixty young men taking a preparatory
course, but this year there are only twenty
two. The college feels that the commits
stoned high schools of the country we'll

in the history of the institution. The class
numbers fifty-eight men. Last year there

II do not believe that the education of the

MAYOR OF yEEDERsBURG.
William Gray, Most Eligible Young
Bachelor i'm Fountain County"

William b. Gray. mayor of Veedersburg,
and known as the most eligible young
bachelor in Fountain county, JourneyCd
10 the city last night with young woman
- see the play. Between looking after
his business enterprises, attending to his
work as head Of the city government and
performing his numerous social duties,
Mayor Gray is a very busy man. He comes
from town that enjoys the distinction of
inaugurating the street-fair fad in this
country. Mayor Gray shares the credit In
this direction with Editor Berry, of Wee
dersburg's leading newspaper Editor Ber-
ry, being "A progressive young man, a
few years ago decided that NeedersburS
ought TO make more rapid progress in a
commercial way. he conceived the idea
OF giving a pumpkin show This was
an incentive to the Fountain county farm
er. and Editor Berry's scheme was big
success. After year or two, however,
other farm products were added To the
exhibits and Veedersburgs fame as an
agricultural show town was assured. Then
street fair, and il was a sue
cess They give them every year now,
and Mayor Gray says they will continue
the custom. our street fair last fall
said the mayor. was the biggest thing
ever held in the State We had no less
than eight thousand people each Gay.
The mayor says that Needersburg is a
growing town and Will continue to grow.
The Wabash Clay Company is the pride
tiOus concerns of the State. The fame of
Veedersburg paving brick has gone abroad
In the land. These brick are manufactured
by the Wabash Clay Company, which
Mayor Gray says is five times larger than
any other establishment in the State turn
ing out similar product. The factory runs
seven days week, he says, and the pay
roll for labor alone amounts to over 5000
month.
Mayor Gray says the town of Veeders-
burg is Republican in politics, although ii
sits in the midst OF rock-ribbed Democracy
However, the mayor has the feeling that
the Democracy without Populism in Foun-
tain county would not be successful There
used To be considerable jealousy between
the towns of Needersburg and Covington,
the latter being the county seat. The Cow
ingtonites appeared to have premOnition
that Veedersburg had designs on the
county seat. Mayor Gray says the jealousy
has faded into the dim past Neerdersburg
people no longer worry about the
county seat question. They have
settled down TO wait. They are
convinced that their town Is on a
boom and they think IL will keep on boom
ing until Some day there will be a case of
metamorphosis in Fountain county as re-
markable as those changes that came
about through Alladin and his wonderful
lamp.
