Baccalaureate Sermon at Indiana
University on Sunday.

Dispatches from Bloomington say
that the Rev. S. a. Lyons, of this city,
greatly pleased the students of Indi-
anu University in his baccalaureate

pastor of the U. P. Church at Bloom
ington, before he was called to the
presidency of Monmouth College in
Illinois, from which place he was
subsequently called to Richmond, his
present charge. The commodious

town the contention between the bust
ness men of that place and the In
dianapolis and Eastern Traction Com
pany relative to the new fare schedule

pany increased the rate of fare be-
tween Knightstown and several towns

Knightstown business men thought
they were to suffer as a result, and
threatened to boycott the freight line
of the company. An effort now is be-
ing made to readjust the schedule

notices to the effect that here after
they will decline to buy junk of boys
under twenty-one years of age, no mat
ter whether they have written consent
to sell such junk or not. The junk
dealers are determined to keep within
the new Indiana law relative to the
sale of junk and will take no chances
even when boys have orders to sell
junk. In police court yesterday Fran
cisco Tacoma was fined 81 and costs
for violating the law. although he felt
certain that the boys from whom the
junk in question was bought, were
provided with orders.

WOOD COUNTY AND
STATE FAIR

AT the meeting of the County
Board this year, an commission vas
made that has been causing no end of
comment. and causing a good deal of
hustle on the part of a number of
parties in this county who are anxious
TO see the good work of the farmers
exhibited at the State Fair in Mil
"aukee in September. In years past
IL mas been customary for the County
Board to appoint committee to
arrange for the exhibit, and the bills
necessary for such a display of the
produce of the county, have been paid
as they came in. This year, however,
the matter was entirely over
looked, and no such committee was
appointed.
LII would seem too bad for Wood
County not TO be represented especi-
ally since it took first prize last year.
IhlS year too is banner year for the
farmers, and Wood County will be
aole to have finer exhibit than the
one that was awarded first prize last
year. An effort should be made to
arrange this exhibit, and the County
Board would probably make good their
commission at the last meeting, when
they again convene.

DIAMOND DRILL TEST
Parties Interested Now Hope to
Ascertain Definitely What
Quantities Of Iron Exist in
This County,

j. w. Robinson, of Necedab, and A.
L. Benson, of Virginia. Mimi, were
in the city one day last week looking
after business connected with the ex
ploration that is now being conducted
in Rudolph for the discovery of iron.
Mr.. Robinson is the promoter of the
exploration and Mr.. Benson is an ex-
pert explorer from the Minnesota iron
range.
In brief interview with the latter
he stated that there was no question
as to the eXiStance of iron in this
locality and that tie iron found would
run to very good percent, but the
great question was as to what extent
the same existed. From the surface
indications. it is impossible to tell, as
there are no out-croppings. but just as
soon as the diamond (which is
now being put in place-is well into its
work, it can be definately ascertained
as to whether or not it would pay to
sink shaft and dig the iron.
Dating back many years Wood
County has been told of the existance
of iron within its borders, and no little
amount of money has been expended
in the search, made at different
periods. This time, however, the
diamond drill test will be tried before
the expense of sinking shafts Is gone
too, and it is quite possible that the
tests now going on will settle for all
time the question of Wood County's
future as an iron producing county.
