/ REFUSE USE OF CHURCH
| On account of the bitter feeling at
Montmorenci against Martin Robertson,
who mourdered Grace Eller and then
killed himself the trustees of the
Methodist church refused to allow the
funeral of Robertson to be held there
yesterday morning, and it was neces-
sary to make complete change in the
/ plans. The body was taken to the

was conducted. The regularly ordaiped
ministers of Montmorenci declined to
officiate and the services of the Rev

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.
Terre Haute will ask the Legislature
to make it possible for the city to have

Young Business Mems Club will take
charge of the movement to get the
measure through the Legislature. The

solved itself into a partisan struggle
for patronage.

FIRST POSTAL BANK.
The selection of the city of Prince
/ ton on which to try the experiment OF
/ a postal savings bank in Indiana not
only is a special compliment to the
| efficiency of the local office, under the
present postmaster, but gives hint as
TO the policy to be pursued by the de-
partment in establishing the new sys-
tenn. The appropriation for starting
the banks is very small and, in fact,
the designation of Indianapolis a
postal bank depository would cause ex-
pense enough to wipe it almost all out
