STATE FARMERS CONGRESS.



About a dozen farmers. who are in the
city attending the various industrial meet
ings, gathered in Room II at the Statehouse
last evening for the purpose of laying the
foundation for the organization of a State
Farmers Congress, which is to be a branch
of the National Congress of Farmers
Joshua Strange, of Grant county, who has
been delegate to the National Farmers
Congress, explained to those present the
advantages of such an organization After
hearing his suggestions and plans it was
agreed that the farmers institutes in every
county in the State should be interested in
the matter and the officers of such insti-
tutes directed to send delegates to a meet
ing for the permanent organization of the
Indiana congress to be held in Indianapolis
before the adjournment of the Legislature
The meeting will probably be held early in
February.
Mr. Strange said it was the purpose of
the National Congress to have subordi-
nate bodies in all of the States which stand
high in agricultural products, and to make
the National Congress a source of great
benefit TO the farmers of the country in
making its influence felt in legislative bod
les. He alluded to the session of the Leg
islature and said the farmers of Indiana
would derive more benefit with delegates
here representing an Indiana farmers
congress who could point out to the leg
islators the needed legislation. He spoke
of the school laws, road laws, ditch laws,
sanitary conditions and in fact every law
in which the farmers are directly inter-
ested. IF we have a farmers congress
We can discuss and digest those laws and
secure the most benefit. The farmers form
a great part of the wealth of the State
and they should have voice in determin-
ing the laws that directly benefit or af-
feet them"
While the meeting last night was poorly
attended, Mr.. Strange is not at all discour-
aged, and believed a strong organization
will eventually be formed

NOT so EASY.
Everybody Cannot Get His Life In
sured-Better Try for 1t When
You Are In Good Health.

People who fancy that life insurance is to
be had by any and everybody just for the
asking would be interested in seeing the
GOODNESS with which many an application
for policy is received at the home office.
'Shall we let this man have a policy?" is
a question being asked daily at every COM
pany headquarters. The local agent, in his
more or less distant territory, has secured
the application. but the medical examina-
ton has shown the prospective policy hold
er to be anything but a desirable risk and
the final question as 10 accepting him as
member must be passed upon at the main
office. The chief medical examiner does
not like the mans health and ancestral
record and does not hesitate to say so. The
superintendent of agencies is sometimes a
sort of counsel for the defendant in such
matters and may try TO show that the ap-
plication has come from agent whose
work is generally SO good that a point, il
possible ought 10 be strained for his en-
couragement. But the official or committee
who determines the matter is infiexibIe, the
medical examination is conclusive and the
verdict is mo: we don't want any $40 OOO .
less. ION a man who is not likely
TO live the year out.
So down goes the applications the agent
uses a little anti-scriptural language when
he gets word OF the decision, and the I'M
fortunate man who would not insure his
life when he in fair health rinds that
ne and his family must now go without the
desired protection entirely.

MODERN w0oDMEN MEET.
Entertainments of National Convention
Under Discussion.

The things indianapolis will do to enter
tain the national meeting of the Modern
Woodmen of America were described yes

ton. The meeting was opened at the Deni-

WEATHER HERE TO STAY
INDIANAPOLIS WILL FEEL COLD FOR
SOME DAYS.
Considerably Colder than on the Day
Previous-MOre Calls Upon the
Charity Society.

indianapolis will be in the throes of cold
weather for several days to come according
to statements made last night by officials
connected with the Weather Bureau.
Yesterday at o'clock the lowest point
reached in this locality, showed that the
mercury had reached twelve degrees above
zero. The cold increased and by o'clock
last night the temperature had fallen to
ten degrees. 1t was said that during the
night it might fall one more degree. but it
was likely that the condition of the weather
would remain stationary. From reports re-
ceived over the Central States it was prom
ised that the present cold snap would prob
ably be materially weakened by midnight
tonight. The blizzard which started from
Bismarck, s. d., some days ago. gave In
dianapolis but touch of its severity. From
reports in Eastern cities it assailed all alike
and nearly every town is wrapped in snow
and almost zero weather.
Working men and women suffered more
yesterday from belated car service than on
the day previous. 1t was almost impossi-
BILE to put any confidence in the running
schedule of the cars. They came only when
they could. Some were thoroughly heated,
while others reminded one of the times
when straw and hay lay upon the floors OF
the cars. Some of the cars running into
the suburbs carried laborers and from these
men came the loudest complaints.
One thing more noticeable yesterday than
on the day previous was the number of
coal wagons hurrying through the streets.
On account of the sudden change in the
weather coal dealers have hired almost any
kind of a conveyance Plenty of soft coal
is being hauled into the city by the rail-
roads and there is no prospect of soft
coal famine. Anthracite coal is not being
sought after much now as when the
price was lower. People who formerly used
this kind of coal have decided not to use
1t on account of the high prices asked by
the members of the Coal Exchange, who
practically control what small supply the
city can boast of.
Secretary Grout yesterday was equally
as busy as on the day before. He and his
agents were confronted with numerous ap-
peals from poor people asking for food and
coal. AS often as appeals came in the cases
were investigated and if the applicant was
not an impostor provisions were at once
sent
