New Association.

About twenty-five members of the Hard
wood Manufacturers Association of the
United States held a sectional meeting at
the Grand Hotel yesterday to complete a
price list and discuss matters pertaining
to their business. The national organiza-
ton of the hardwood manufacturers covers
sixteen States, and the members present
at yesterdays conference represented In
diana and northern Ohio.
John A. Thompson. of the firm of May,
Thompson e. Thayer. of Edinburg, called
the meeting to order and stated the pur-
pose for which it was called. After a
general discussion two committees were
appointed, one to prepare a price list on
hin quartered oak and the other to de-
wise a plan for the inspecting of export
lumber at original shipping points. A re-
cess was taken while the committees pre-
pared their reports.
The committee on prices reported the fol-
lowing scale, the prices being quoted for
three-eighths. one-half. fve-eighths and
three-fourths-inch quartered oak in the
order given: Firsts and seconds, s3,. $3S,
s5 and $50; No. L common, $50, $24, So and
$32. The scale was adopted.
The second committee m that
whenever a member of the association had
any lumber which he wished inspected at
the original shipping point that he notify
the secretary of the national organization,
who should send one of the Official in
spectorS to do the work at once at the ex-
pense OF the association. This report was
also adopted. Other questions of general
interest to the manufacturer were dis
cussed, but no final action taken.

FURNITURE MANUFACTURERS.
Between Fifty and Sixty Attend n Din
ner mt the Commercial Club.

ner AT the commercial Club.
The Indianapolis Furniture Manufactur-
ers' Association gave a dinner at the Com
mercial Club last night, at which ten man.
ufacturers Of .Shelbyville and representa-
tives from thirty-nine furniture factories
of this city were guests. Between fifty
and sixty men sat dow to the dinner,
after which G.. f. Watt. vice president of
the Baker-Vawter Company of Chicago,
read a paper on THE System of Obtaining
Factory Cost" Mr.. Watt is an expert in
this line, and his presentation OF the sub
Ject was heard with close interest. A gen.
eral discussion OF the paper followed.
The dinner was the result of about three
years effort on the part of a few promi-
nent manufacturers of Indianapolis to form
an organization for social purposes among
the men In the furniture making business.
An association was organized some time
ago, but the meetings were not well at
tended, and until last night il was not
found possible to interest the members suf-
hciently to take an active interest. j. r.
I4indley, of the L. b. Laycock Manufacture
ing Company, is president of the a~ssocia-
ton, MIR. Hagadorn, of the Western Fur
niture Company, is vice president, and Will
II. Bass, of Bass d Woodwork, is secre-
tary.
The manufacturers who are members of
the organization are not competitors. Con-
sequently they have no community OF in
terests in the matter of prices, and the
association is in no sense a combination to
regulate or control prices. The members
state that their purpose in getting together
is to promote good-fellowship and discuss
topics of general interest to all furniture
manufacturers, such as the subject pre-.
scented by Mr.. Watt last night. Hereafter
monthly dinners will be given. and at each
one some man of national prominence will
be brought here to read a paper or deliver
an address upon some such subject.
Indianapolis ranks second TO Grand Rap
ids as a furniture manufacturing center.
and there is no class of men in the city
better known than those engaged in this
line. Shelbyville ranks close to Indianapo-
lis in this industry. Some of the largest
concerns Of their ind in the world are To-
Gated there, and among those represented
at the dinner last night were the Conrey-
Birely Company, the Conrey-Foster Com
| pany the Conrey-Davis Company, the
Speigel Furniture Company, the Hodell
| Furniture Company, the Shelbyville Ward
robe Company and the Shelbyville Desk
Company.

SUCCEEDS E. II. NEBEKER
PATRICK O'BRIEN APPOINTED MEN,
BIER OF PRISON BOARD.
South Bend Man Chosen by Governor
Because of sterling Qualities
Appointment Discussed.

Patrick O'Brien, of South Bend, is the
successor of f. II. Nebeker, of Covington,
on the board of directors of the State
Prison. The appointment was made yester-
day by Governor Durbin. before he left for
the South on his hunting trip, and came in
the nature of a surprise to many of his
friends. Mr.. O'Brien is a Democrat, and
succeeds a Republican on the board. The
Governors secretary. in talking about that
feature of the appointment, said yester-
day:
1.-The Governor is more concerned, 1
think, about giving State institutions a
splendid administration than in the political
makeup of the boards that control them.
IL he is convinced that a Democrat will
make a little better man for the place than
a Republican, why, / suppose, he thinks IL
best to appoint him.. Mr.. O'Brien was not
an applicant for the position. and was sur
priSed when it was rendered him."
The appointment of a Democrat has ex-
cited favorable comment not only among
Democrats themselves, but among Repub-
licans also. who see in the appointment the
purpose of the Governor to be absolutely
fair and unprejudiced in all matters that
pertain TO the administration of the State
institutions.
turer of South Bend, being engaged in the
varnish business. In his own community
his standing is such that when the Demo-
Gratis brought him out in the last campaign
for County Councilman in st. Joseph county
the Republicans saw the probability of de-
feat and refused to nominate a candidate
TO run against him. He is an old soldier
with a brave record, having served as a
member of the Thirty-ffth Indiana, the
fighting Irish regiment.
Z. III. Nebeker resigned a few weeks ago
on account of pressing business matters
that required his attention. The position
pays a salary of $500 a year.

Decoration Day.

About sixty veterans turned out last
Friday to listen to the grafton by Fred
HI. Blum and it was we'll worded and
we'll received effort. From the church
the people wendell out to the cemetery.
Only twenty-six of the boys marched
out followed by the flower girls. etc.
When they arrived at the monument
for the unknown dead it was decorated,
beautiful wreath was hung tor Gen.
Lawton, sent out by his old comrade in
arms, Capt. Hart. Both served in the
same regiment as Captains during the
war and this beautiful tribut to the
gentlest, the bravest, the truest and
the wisest general that ever buckled
on sword in the Philippines was no
more than he deserved. The ritualstic
work prescribed for the G. A. r. was
gone through with. President of the
day, j. A. Nash, read Lincoln's Gettys-
burg speech and Prof. Hooker read the
"Cover Them Over" poems, they then
proceeded with the twenty six, the
number thus departed, to the graves
each veteran carrying flag and step
ping out from the head of the column
planted the stars and stripes over the
sleeping hero and then fell in the rear
and marched on. The flower girls fol-
lowed with their floral offering to lay
on the grave. The procession ended
in the new cemetary where rests a
comrade.
1t was day in which the citizens
accepted as sacred trust that which
will be theirs when the last gray hair
ed follower of the flag on the battlefield
of the republic shall have been laid to
rest, when they with no hating line
of blue go to the cemetety to mark in
silence the graves hallowed by refe
ence and a great free and united
country.
