utilize the whole tract. Convenient streets
can be easily laid out to accomplish this
purpose.
The residences could doubtless be sold at
good price separately, with lots of suit
able size. and the large buildings for manu-
featuring or educational purposes could be
purchased with ample room TO transact
their business. A plat is submitted indi-
eating such a plan.
AS TO the prices for lots, II will be readily
seen from the experience here of the rapid
growth in population and business and the
immense impulse that the many electric
lines centering here. now constructed and
in process OF construction. will give that
there must be a large demand for this
property, constantly increasing. Without
exaggeration IL may be said that the city
OF Indianapolis is just fairly entering the
field OF expansion in profitable business and
population.
1 refer to the testimony of Capt. W. S.
Scott, OF the regular army, who has been
stationed here for some months past, as TO
the condition of the buildings and grounds.
buildings are worth the sum of $250000 at
a low estimate.
But over and above all things this land
is an ideal place for a college The situa-
ton is grand, the native trees are there in
large numbers. the buildings, large, strong
and commodious, can be converted into the
uses of a great institution OF learning with
comparatively little expense. Every cir
cumstance of location, situation and condi-
ton fits IL for an institution of learning
and L hope IL may be devoted TO that pur-
pose. Very respectfully submitted,

COPPER Mine DECISION

Property of the Indinna-SOnora Cop.
per Mining Company Involved
i'm the Controversy.

A telegram received by interested parties
in this city last night announces that the
Supreme Court at Hermosillo, Mexico has
decided the suit recently instituted by L.
Lindsay against the owners and lessees of
the Indiana-Sonora Copper and Mining
Compeny at the Cananea, State of Sonora,
Mexico, in favor of the defendants.
The present owners of the property are
most of them residents of Indianapolis
They purchased a controlling interest in the
property originally from Lindsay and his
associates Later on, Lindsay cooperating
with them in every detail, they gave an OPP
ton on 50 per cent. of the property TO the
Copper Queen Mining Company. of which
Phelps, Dodge & Co. are the principal
owners, leasing the mines to them for de-
velopment in order to comply with the
terms Of the option.
Two or three months after the Phelps
Dodge people had taken possession of the
mines Lindsay most unaccountably filed
suit demanding to have the property de-
clared forfeited to him, alleging breach Of
contract, and without notice to the legal
owners took possession of the mines,
caused the appointment of an Intervention,
or receiver. and forciby dispossessed the
lessees.
The Mexican national authorities were APP
pealed TO for justice through the State De-
partment at Washington and the matter
The telegram indicates that Lindsay's I'm

Representative Kirkpatrick Wants to

81 am for Henry Marshall, first, last and
all the time" was the reply made by Rep
resentative Charles Kirkpatrick, of New
Richmond. last evening at the English
when he was asked whom he favored in
the speakership race.
You see," he explained, 1--WE have been
warm personal friends for years. L couldn't
very well help being for him IL I wanted to-
regard him as a thoroughly capable man
and believe that for many reasons he is
entitled to the honor. L believe, too, that
he will get it,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is from Montgomery

Scott, Of Ladoga. Mr.. Scott is we'll along
In years and he was one of the oldest
members in the House at the last session.
while Mr.. Kirkpatrick is young man of
thirty-five or whereabouts. He is a banker
by profession. but he devotes a great deal
of his time to politics and has been one
of the leaders In his county for several
years. He served as postmaster of New
Richmond four years during the Mckinley
administration.
last night that while he had no bills to
introduce this winter he was giving some
attention TO the question of road laws and
was inclined to believe that some Changes
should he made in that line He seiJ ,Se,
he was not ready to take position on some
of the more important questions that have
been mentioned as the leading features of
this winters legislation. he had not
given them sufficient consideration and did
not want to go on record now and then
change his mind later.
81 have received half dozen commune
cations asking me to state my views on
certain subjects. but l have carefully con-
signed them all to the waste basket" he
said. Il should not be surprised If some
of the other members would wish that they
had done the same thing before the winter
is over. Things may come up to lead them
to change their minds entirely and then
their records will be sprung on them and
the bills come UP I'll vote on them, but
until then L prefer to be noncommittal"

of Muncie, who was at the Denison yester-
day: lit has shone with undimmed lustre

been unsung. and to-day there are very
few who able TO identify In it the
author of Romance and Tragedy of Pioneer
Life Augustus l.. Mason. of this city.
Il do not know that Mr.. Mason is sorry
that his claims to literary fame have not
been more widely exploited. In fact.
understand that he will gladly forget his
labors in that line if the public will do like
wise, but believe that the boys of Indiana
who thirst for stirring tales of adventure
should not be kept in ignorance of~what
Mr.. Mason has done fon them. The Ro-
nance and Tragedy of Pioneer Life con-
tains about six hundred pages of the most
blood-curdling stories of adventures among
the Indians and it is a source of unalloyed
joy from cover to cover TO any boy whose
literary taste has been cultivated to the
point where he cannot get enough of that
sort of stuff. The stories are Of Indian
massacres. scalpings and other hair-raising
episodes of early life in the Middle West
and West and they are all based on actual
historical facts, traditions that we'll

For instance, the story of the burning at
the stake of Colonel Crawford and the
deeds of the renegade Simon Girty are
most graphically told. Mr.. Mason had an
abundance of material and he took few
liberties with il, taking the part of his
torian rather than that OF the writer OF
fiction, and chronicling the stories much as
they were told by the pioneers at Indiana

Daily Consumption Runs Up Into the
Millions.

The question whether the pancake is a
luxury or one Of the necessaries of life is
one that has probably occurred to few peo-
pie, but it was suggested last evening by
George Barrowman, a travelling man, who
is at the Denison. Mr.. Barrowman repre-
sents a company that manufactures pam
cake -four.
How many pancakes do you suppose are
consumed in this country every day." he
asked as a starter. II haven't the least
idea myself, but can give you some figures
that will set you guessing. Our company
manufactures $4,000 pounds of flour every
day and they sell every ounce OF it, One
pound of the -four will make at least TWEEN
ty-fve large pancakes. That means / 500 :
600 OF them daily from the product of our
mill alone. There are dozens OF other mills
IN the country that are in the same bust
ness and nearly every flour mill turns ont
more or less pancake flour in addition to its
other products. That looks like everybody
in the country must eat pancakes every
day. and eat lot of them.
II do not believe, though. that the nam
cake is a luxury, because our consumers
are not among the wealthy people The
middle class people are the ones who take
to pancakes, and l declare | believe they
must eat them just as they do bread
