CULVER SCHOOL
INTERESTING LETTER FROM
MADISON YOUNG MAN IN
ATTENDANCE.

Culver, Ind, Aug. 17.-Special
correspondence: 1t is no doubt rath-
er late for me to be writing to you
from Culver since school closes here
Wednesday, August 81, but neverthe-
less it might be proper to say some
thing regarding this Culver Military
academy, where i have been for the
past three summers. Every officer
and man here feels himself a part of
the huge machine built of human or
ganism which comprises the school.
1t is this spirit which makes Culver
one of the three distinguished schools
recognized by the war department of
the United States.
Our routine here is in effect about
as follows: $3.50 a. m, reville. At
this formation ever cadet forms on
the parade ground in bathing suit.
Physical exercise is then given for
ten minutes, followed by a shower
bath. At 6:20 a. m, sick call is
sounded. at which time cadets ailing
may consult the hospital physicians.
Police inspection is sounded at $50,
at which time all rooms are inspected
by the cadet officer in charge of the
division. Breakfast, or 'soupey," as
it is called here, is sounded at $50.
School calls at 1885 and lasts until
Seven class periods are on
the schedule. AT present | have a
recitation in all except two of the
seven periods. In the afternoon
band rehearsal begins at 2 and lasts
until 4 o'clock. Boat drill begins at
2:3O and lasts until 4 o'clock.
We have an exceptionally fine band
this year. 1t is made up of t~hirty-one
cadets, all of whom have played more
or less before and are fairly we'll ex-
perienced.
The crew here is in readiness to
defend the challenge trophy cup
which was won last year. The race
| is at Culver next Tuesday. | expect
| to telegraph the result to you as soon
| as possible after the race
Hugh O'Donnell, who came with
| me this year, is very well pleased
| with the school and is maintaining .
very high standard of efficiency.
| From an officers viewpoint can say
| that he has taken to the work here
| as rapidly as could be expected and
| has already qualified for a petty of
| icership next year. He is one of the
new men here who have come and
really gotten the aim of the school
We have about $50 enrolled in the
school this year. There has been but
two cases of courtmartial this year
and both were for breach of regula.
tions.
Well, / presume | must close now
as it is nearly time for an entertain
ment, given by Mr.. Henry Reuther-
dali, cartoonist and naval artist Of
lCollier's Weekly, who is to give a lee.
ture to cadets this evening.
Hoping to be in Madison again
soon and wishing all my friends could
attend Culver, / remain.
Yours very sincerely,
Nathan III. Kingsley.

BUSINESS Change
GEO. COOK SELLS HIS JEWELRY
STOCK TO GEO. Il. PORTER
AND SONS.

Geo. E. Porter & Sons this morn
ing took possession by purchase of
the Geo. Cook jewelry stock and will
combine it with their drug business
under the name of the Geo. f. Porter
& Sons Drug and Jewelry House.
The firm comprises Geo. E. Porter
and Norm and Don Porter, as the lat
ter are Familiarity known. The
Messrs. Porter have been successfully
engaged in the drug business the
past several years under the name OF
Porter's Pharmacy in the same store
room occupied by Mr.. Cook. There
is no change in the personnel of the
Porter firm, the father and sons hay-
ing been associated in the drug bust
ness exclusively. A year or more ago
Don Porter took up the jewelry and
watch repairing business and entered
upon a course of instruction at Pc
oria, H., completing the curse a
few weeks ago. Hence, Don will
take charge of the jewelry depart
ment while Norm will continue al
the head of the drug department
making a strong combination.
The retirement of Geo. Cook from
active business removes n of the
few remaining early pioneer business
men of Madison. Coming here more
than thirty years ago he began
work on a salary, but through indus
tryand thrift he soon became his owl
employer and for a long term oil
years has been one of the busy bust,
ness men on Egan n Mr.. Cook
has not fully decided upon his future
but will remain in Madison for a
time, of course always claiming Mad
ison as his home on account of his
property interests being located here

as a remedy. This morning Mr.. Sim
mons arose at 6 o'clock, leaving Mrs.
Simmons still sleeping. He returned
at z a. m, but she was still asleep
and he did not arous her, but went
into the garden to work until she
should awake. AT $50 her maid be-
came uneasy and went to call her.
She was found in bed, with the chlor-
oform bottle in her hand, resting
against her mouth. Life was ex-
tinct.
Physicians, hastily summoned, pro-
nounced the case purely accidental.
She had apparently been inhaling the
fumes from the bottle when she re-
Taxed and lay back, her hand still
holding the bottle, falling on her face
in such a position that the mouth of
the bottle was directly under her
nose. The doctors stated that she
had been breathing the fumes for
over an hour.
