Alexandra, Ind, Feb. 5.-The time
is coming when the term "gas belt"
cannot be applied to Madison and
Grant counties, and, from the amount
Of drilling for crude oil that is now
under way, The time is not far OF. In
a strip Of country, beginning about
two miles southeast of Alexandria, and
extending north to Marion, and a mile
or two west of the Big Four tracks,
and about three miles east of them,
the people seem to be ''oi mad" in
their search for petroleum. Four drill
ing outfits are at work for the Ameri-
can Window Glass company. The Indi-
annapolis Manufacturers Gas company
has three outfits at work; the Penn
American Glass company has two; AL
Gallman has two; the Chicago Pipe
Line company has four, and the Macy
Oil company, of indianapolis, is pre-
pairing to drill number of wells.
Everybody Talks Oil Now.
The Rowe Bros, of Fairmont, have
a number of good wells north Of that
town, some of them making from six
ty to 100 barrels of oil without be-
ing shot. They own one well that is
said to have made 125 barrels ever
since it was drilled. In this section
the whole air is alive with oil talk.
Derricks are almost as thick as trees
In the woods, and these frame struc-
barn lots. Fences, barns and roofs
are greasy and smell of the floating
oil, and the pop of numberless pump
ing engines now take the place of the
sound of believing herds, whose past
ures are given over to the search for
oil.

that was fierce during the five hours the
polls remained open. When the election OF

by William A. Walker, was announced the
regulars celebrated their triumph with
shouts. The winners, who headed their
ticket with Councilman Lew Cooper, joined
in the shouts and made it unanimous.
When the polls" opened in the club
parlors at o'clock there were a hundred
men waiting to register their votes on the
machines that were used. The voting was
done on two machines-the Columbia and
worked without any irregularity. During
the five hours the polls were open sos men
cast their votes. AS most of those who
voted incidentally spent some time in ex-
aiming the machine this was a record
The total vote was not as great as two
years ago, when nearly 200 members at
tended the election.
The result of the election was:

with remarkable qualifications and his race
against Shuts, who weighs about two and

Commercial Club, Mayor BOOkwalter

Committee-Report To-Day.

The Senate committee of affairs OF In
dianapolis, at Its open session yesterday,
received the report of the Commercial
Clubs legislative committee, which assert
ed that the compromise track elevation bill
was worse than no legislation on the grade
crossing question. In this report, which
President Gavin sent only as the express
sion of the committee, it was said:
public officials, charged with high pub
lie duties, and necessarily having imposed
on them high powers in order TO enable
them to perform those duties, are neces-
sarily to some extent subject to tempta-
ton.
THAT follows inevitably from the situa-
ton, but when, in addition to the situation
itself, the law places them under tempta-
ton, as this law would, the law itself is
blameWOrthy.

Mayor Bookwalter and III. j. Milligan
spoke on the bill to the committee. The
mayor said the bill gave the city large adj
vantages in dealing with the grade cross
ing, and was a long step in the direction
of amicable and adequate settlement of 1t.
Mr.. Milligan took the same view that the
Commercial Clubs committee took, and
thought the committee should not report
in favor of its passage.
The committee will have another meeting
to-day to discuss what shall be done with
the BILL Although one member of the COM
mittee is understood to be not entirely sat-
isfied with the measure, it will probably
receive to-day a unanimous report in favor
of it's passage, but members of the COM
mittee would not say this was sure last
night.

to-day with his wife and two children for

He will be absent about two or three weeks.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The death of General Foster will bring
sadness and sorrow to all members of the
Thirteenth Indiana, the "Old Guard" There
was no member of that regiment held in
higher esteem and reverence than he He
was one of our most noted volunteer SOL
diers and a military genius with few equals.
While a strict discplinarian he was always
kind and considerable for his men, and he
felt his success and future destiny was
with the old Thirteenth, a regiment that
gained much reputation in the East, not
only for its fighting qualities, but for its
military efficiency and training. Its evo-
lutions on the parade ground were the
pride of General Terry, our brigade COM
mander, and / remember well when Col.
Fosters commission came as brigadier 1t
could be transferred to the command of
General Foster. And the boys will well re-
member when we assembled in front of
General Terry'S headquarters In Suffolk,
when Foster babe us farewell with tears
in his eyes. Colonel Foster preferred to
share his fortune with his regiment rather
than take the rank of brigadier without
the men who to-day believe an injustice
was done him in not giving him a full
commission as major general. He seemed
immune to fear, and in the thick of the
fight his commands were as clear and cool
as on the the everyday parade ground. L
know of no officer that commanded more
fully the confidence and support of his
men than General Foster. There was no
more perfect military figure than he as
he came upon the parade ground on his
black stallion, and every member of the
"Old Guard" was justly proud of their
leader. He was in appearance a typical
cavalier; yet unassuming, with none of
the naughty bearing so prevalent in so
conspicuous a figure He retiring. yet
ambitious and patriotic, with few faults.
There is no one who will be missed in our
annual reunions as will our gallant leader.
His genial smile and kindly word TO all
will be sadly absent, and the "Old Guard
will feel they are a command without a
leader. This is General Fosters first sur
render; he has marshaled his boys the

That General Fosters division should
have got the sharpest of the fighting when
the lines about Petersburg were carried
on Sunday morning, April 2, 1865. was quite
remarkable. The corps encompassing
Petersburg were, beginning on the right
the Ninth, the Sixth, the Twenty-fourth
and the Second. General Fosters division
was in the Twenty-fourth. When the
charge was made at daybreak Sunday the
Ninth came up against the Confederates
second line; the Sixth swept over and
pushed westward; the Twenty-fourth had
longer march to get at the enemys line,
but he had fed Instead of going west
ward the Twenty-fourth turned northward,
crossing the track of the Sixth, and an
hours march brought ii up against Fort
Gregg and other forts in the Confederate
second line. These forts General Foster
took after bloody fight, the Mississippians
in Fort Gregg fighting with dubbed mus
kets until overcome. The Second Corps
swung up northward and connected with
Fosters left, but not until he had taken
the forts. Members of the Second Corps
made anxious inquiries about the losses
because they had relatives in two of Gen.
Fosters regiments.
The shortening of General Foster was
that he did not interest newspaper report
ers. In the great events of those days
that sharp fight on Sunday, April 2, was
forgotten and Foster got little credit for 1t.

ment adopted in addition to the Goodwine
amendments. 1t provided that AdJutant
General John Ward shall receive 500. which
would represent the increase in salary from

of claims. We have stricken out nothing
which is really necessary, and have, esti-
mate, saved over $4,000 to the State by the

While the appropriation bill was being
considered the Senate was crowded with
people directly interested in various items
OF the measure. When the work had been
completed many of them left the chamber
with smiling faces, for they had passed
through Scylla and Charybdis unscathed.
Others, among whom the state geologist
was conspicuous left with clouded brows
and downcast faces.

A very good story, and a true one, was
told at the expense of General Foster
few years ago. The colonel of one of his
best regiments was an uncertain quantity
in a fight, every man in the command
knew. He was the ranking colonel and
was often I'm command of brigade. This
colonel was anxious to be appointed briga-
der general. He spent much of his time
in writing letters to induce men to urge
his appointment. Several of the officers of
the division, including General Foster, gave
him letters, their purpose being to get rid
of him. Fifteen years after the close of the
war this colonel became a fusion candidate
for Governor in an Eastern State Officers
and men in his regiment accused him of
cowardice and sustained the charge by a
letter from General Foster. The Foster
letter was published. but directly after
