AFTER HISTORICAL DATA.
Prof. Cyrus HodgIn, of Earlham Col
Iege, Studying State Records.

Special to the Indianap polls Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. 1.-Prof. Cyrus
Hodgin, head of the history department in
Earlham College, spent Friday and Satar-
day in the Statehouse at indianapolis
searching through the archives stored
there in the interests of the archives COM
mission of the American Historical Society,
of which he is a member. Last summer
Professor Hodgin was assigned the task of
looking up all the historical data contained
In the various state papers and files kept
on record in the State Capitol. The ap-
pointment came from Professor Ames, or
the history department of the University
of Pennsylvania. VINO is the chief of the
archive commission.
The society is making determined effort
to collect the historical archives of the
separate States. and after a proper index
and study to file them in a manner that
they easily be used by students of
American history. Professor Hodgin found
the task of securing this material at the
Statehouse somewhat simplified. A large
part of IL had been indexed by Librarian
Henry. The clerks of the Supreme Court
had indexed all the business that had come
up before this judiciary since the forma ton
of this commonwealth into State. Prof.
Hodgin IN his research is studying the in
dexes and the titles of the volumes, because
the time is too limited TO permit a perusal
of every volume that has to be investi-
gated.
After the material has been classified and
got into a presentable shape Professor
Hodgin will send his report to Professor
Ames. He expects to be ready with this
by next January.

WINES'S STRANGE ABSENCE.
Drew His Pay Last October and Has
Not Been Seen Since.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAWRENCEBURG, Ind, Dec. IAN eff
fort is being made to ascertain the where
abouts of Edward Wines. a locomotive
fireman, who disappeared from this city
Oct. r. Wines fired on the Big Four ac-
commodation train running between Gin
cinnati and Aurora, four miles southwest
of here, for Some time. He drew his pay
on the date above mentioned and left town.
1t was thought that he intended going to
Kokorno, Ind, to visit his wife, but as days
passed and he did not report for duty, an
investigation was set on foot by the rail-
road authorities, which developed the fact
that Mrs. Wines was much at loss to
account for his absence as the railway peo-
pie. Wines was at one time a song and
dance comedian, and ii is thought that he
may have resumed mis- former position. 1t is
feared, however, that he has met with foul
play. Wines was about twenty-eight years
of age, tall, weighed about 100 pounds and
was dark complexioned. Every effort will
be made to ascertain his whereabouts by
his devoted wife, who is almost crazed by
his strange disappearance.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind. Dec. 1.-The next con-
vention of the Indiana State Oratorical As
ISOLATION. which takes place on Feb. 6, at
the Denison Hotel in indianapolis, will con-
slider some very important business. A
plan was discussed at the last meeting OF
the board whereby the present system OF
two sets of judges is to be abolished Ac-
cording to it one set of men is to judge both
on manuscript and delivery. This change
will probably be carried. Another innova-
ton that Is now agitated is the applying Of
the surplus money made at the contest to
the purchase of a silver cup upon which
the name of the successful contestant IS
TO be engraved for five years, at the end OF
which time the college winning the greatest
number of times is to receive the cup as
permanent possession. The surplus money
has hitherto been divided among the col
leges, but has never amounted TO much.
