REMEMBERS VAN BUREN,.

r. D. Clark, Until Recently Of Boone,
Remembers Stop in Indiana Town.
Special to Times Republican.
Boone, May 11.--R. D. Clark, who
has recently become a citizen of Mad
rid, was born near Terre Haute, Ind,
in 1881. He has a distinct recollec-
ton Of the time that President Martin
Van Buren, made a tour of the states.
This was in 1899, and at that time Mr..
Clark's father lived near a town called
Cleveland, ten miRs east of Terre
Haute, on the great thoroughfare,
known as the national road. There
were no railroads in the state of In
diana at that time. President Van Bur-
en- rode in a four-horse stage.
The announcement was made that
on certain morning in the month
OF October. 1899, the president would
pass thru Cloverland on his way from
Indianapolis to Terre Haute, but the
stage would only stop long enough to
change horses. Altho Mr.. Clark was
only years old, he walked distance
of two miles that morning, to see the
president of the United States, and
shook hands with him. Mr.. Clark says
that President Van Buren, was cleanly
shaver, had a round face and large
bright eyes. The president did not gel
out Of the coach, but the people gath
cred around it, and shook hands with
| him while the change OF horses took
place.

Paris, June 5.--Andrew Carnegie's
letter to Premier Clemenceau donating
the hero fund of 100000. was made
public today. Mr.. Carnegie writes that
the success of the funds in Canada.
America and England induced the de-
sire to extend the benefits to France.
''the only ally America ever had" AZ
ter expressing his qualification that an
era of peace and good will between
England, France and America Is now
established. Mr.. Carnegie said:
war between these three powers Is
inconceivable. They are marching to-
gether toward the suppression OF the
worlds worst evil-the murder OF man
by means--as a means Of settling In
ternat ional disputes"
Mr.. Carnegie then writes:
1--WE live in a heroic age. in which
men and women and even children Of
ten sacrifice their lives TO save others.
and II is to reward such that the fund
Is founded"
The rules for the allotments. the
classes and the persons to be bene-
fited follow the same lines as the
funds elsewhere. The French colonies
as we'll as France will be considered

The child wandered away one week

lost. Hundreds OF men have secured
the woods in every direction since that
time In search OF her, but were unsuc-
cessful until today. The child was
terribly emaciated, and seemed to have
lost her mind.
Since the child's disappearance there
have been many evidences of feeling

and the neighbors were with difficulty
dissuaded from doing him violence.
