in th lust Congress no appropriation wasmade for the pavment of the rebate whichwas allowed upon Such clears and tobaccoas were in stock or in the hands of mer-chant at the tims the reduction went intoeffect. In order to afford prompt paymentof this rebate, which amounted to about$25.000. to local merchanta It was necessaryfor an appropriation to be mads whichwould afford payment of all rebates to allmerchants in the United States. Thia re-quired about three millions of dollars. Thatprompt payment of the rebate might bemade to local merchants Mr. Overstreet se-

cured the appropriation of the entireamount necessary for the payment of thetobacco merchants of the United States byhaving introduced into the appropriationbill sn item of three millions of dollars.The first payment of rebate was mads lastummer. When the war revenue tax was

finally and entirely repealed, taking effectlast July 1, a similar provision was madethrough the watchful Interest of Mr. Over-stre- et

by the Insertion of a similar itemto provide for the prompt payment of therebate due merchants upon stock unsoldand on hand. The amount due local mer-chants under the Drovlslon made for rebate

Interest of Indianapolis. The establish-ment of the army post necessitates thesale of the arsenal grounds, and the saleof those grounds has made possible theestablishment of the proposed technicalInstitute. With one exception the govern-ment has required all cities favored bythe location of an army post to donatethe grounds upon which such posts wereto be built. Indianapolis is one of twocities in the Union fortunate enough toobtain such post without paying for thegrounds. When others had despaired thatthe provision could be made for the estab-lishment of such army post Mr. Overstreetwas Quietly, earnestly and effectively atwork, and never tired or gave up the con-test until the provision had been made inlaw, out of which will ultimately comethe post established.

"These are some of the results whichMr. Overstreet has to the credit of theSsventh Indiana district. Hundreds In thedistrict could testify to other acts done byMr. Overstreet which have been of largebenefit to them, personal and otherwise.It is fair to say that no representative inthe United States has given more faithfulserV-ic- e than has Mr. Overstreet. His elec-tion next Tuesday ought to be by suchoverwhelming majority as will testify tothe appreciation on the part of his con-stituents commensurate with these greatservices."

place. Like many, if not most, natives,this man has a superstitious dread factually taking life. As a result elepharsescaped and communicated their discoveriesto the herds, who now continually brer kaway at the critical last moment. Perhapspart of the decline may be due to the ab-sence of the genius which Sandersonbrought to his task, but that failure tomaintain his shooting policy may be Justlyheld accountable for many fiascos is cleariyshown by my story. In a keddah dri esome few years since a huge tusker "bro ;eout"' and escaped. Next year the sattetusker was with the doomed herd, but newhe did not break away. On the contrary,he led his fellows right toward the en-

trance of the stockade, but then t efplendld Intelligence of his race fiash-- d

out. Sluing right round in the gate en-

trance so that none could pass, he faced Meherd. Urged on by the crits and cloMnjf n

of the beaters, his companions came up o-i- e

by one. But he never moved. The gateto which hundreds of beaters had driv ntheir prev could be entered by none. Allday be butted away his less sagacious com-rades who desired to come Into the trap,and at night he led the whole herd In awild stampede for freedom. Nothing In fcll

the world, not even a battery of hea y

guns, could stop the stampede of a scoreor more of elephants when the distancefrom start to the pale Is only a few hun-dred yards. So the labor of months whswasted and a whole herd went free. There-fore there are now in those jungles thredosen or more elephants who know Mesecret of the keddah path. ;

Oatllaed President rwsJLIdea of a settlement.

W. EL Watklns returned from X. w Yorklast night, where he attended the bmcQmof the board of arbitration of the NationalAssociation of Minor Leagues with PisaVdent Brycc, of the Columbus club, MrWatkins is confident that peace will ult-imately be declared between the associa-tion and the minor leagues. The He-Y- ork

meeting adjourned after declaring atemporary truce to meet in Chicago oaNov. 15. when the final settlement win bemade.

"I firmly believe that the American As.soclation and the National Association ofMinor Leagues will amicably adjust alltheir differences at the coming meeting iaChicago." said Mr. Watkins last night."Mr. Bryce and I were called to .. A sto corner with the arbitration board, con-sisting of President Lucas, of the Pacific-Nor- th

west League; Mr. Cavanaugh, repre-senting President Frank, of the SouthernLeague; Tim Humane, of the New Kng-lan- d

League; M. H. Sexton, of the ThreeI and Western leagues, and JamegO'Rourke, of the Connecticut League.

"The first proposition offered to us wasthat the Western League would vacateMilwaukee if the American Associatiomwould give the Western League $ 4for the American Association to vacateKansas City. This was rejected. Thesecond proposition from the WesttraLeague was that it would vacate MUwaVka)if the American Association would assumethe lease held by the Western Leagueclub in that city and would vacate Kan-sas City If we would pay the West, rnLeague $25.000. This was, of course, reject-ed. The third proposition to us was thatthe Western League would vacate Mi-lwaukee If the American Association would,vacate Kansas City. We rejected thatproposition as we did the others, as wedid not feel the American Associat.ncould pay such sums or agree t , ,

terms, as our association was the Brstthose cities and we did not see where ihwas any equity in asking us to get rin forcing us to pay the Western Leagueto get out.

"We offered the Western League peopaa half interest in the Kansas City 1 tub tthe American Assoclaiic-- if they wovalvacate Milwaukee and Kansas City, batthey refused It. While the time srsj beingconsumed in such propositions and argu-ments pro and con President Pat Powof the National Association of MkSSfLeagues, suggested that, in order tulieve the heavy burdens that other leagueshave had and would have to carry by acontinuance of the war between the Ameri-can Association and the Western Lsajthe fight be confined to Milwaul 1

Kansas City, admitting the American As-

sociation to the National Association andthat schedules be arranged for nonc in-

dicting dates in the two cities."I offered the suggestion that if this be

adopted that none of the other clubs hithe Western League or the Amerieun As-soclat- ion

would have the right to assist inany way the Milwaukee and Kansas Cityclubs in the respective organisations lalso suggested that the schedules be so ar-ranged that all datrs tf the two organiza-tions in the Western League and the Ann

Association in those two cities shouldconflict as much as possible, and this wasconsidered fair. It would mean a quick re-

sult. This would mean a 'survival of thefittest.'

"The matter was taken under advi-- . --

ment, and when the time came the West-ern League refused to accept it. The West-ern filed a counter proposition that itwould take $20,0011 and vacate Milwaukeeand Kansas City, or would give that mu hfor the American Association to vacat..This latter proposition was also refused byus. When It was seen that we could notget together on terms the meeting was

to convene in Chicago at the Au-ditorium Hotel on Nov. 15."

Peace between the American Associationand the Association of Minor Leagueswould mean a great saving to all leagand clubs in salaries. The war has c t

not only the American Association andWestern League to pay fancy salaries, butother leagues have suffered as well. Ifpeace is finally declared, and there seemsto be little doubt of such a settlement, menwho have capital interested will have anopportunity next season of realizing some-thing on their investment.

Hanover va. Franklin, at Hanover.Purdue vs. Northwestern, at Chicago.

Special to the In liana rolls Journal.LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 3). Confident of

giving Northwestern the hardest contestof the year, the Purdue football eleven,with nine substitutes. Coach Best, Man-ager Grant and trainers and rubbers, leftto-nig- ht for Evanston, the third of the sea-

son's trips. All this week the men havebeen playing in a fierce, determined way,and, although there are some positionsthat are not yet as strong as Coach Bestwould like, the team as a whole is muchfaster and stronger than at any previoustime this season. Captain Leslie is backin the game and the student body placesmuch confidence in him and his effect onthe werk of the team. He is in bettershape than for several weeks and will playat end instead of quarterback, where hehas played in all previous games this sea-son. Osborne will remain in that position,as he seems an ideal man for the place.Zimmerman, who has developed an injuredback, wili not play w. Hohn prob-ably will play at one end and White andMinch will substitute for him. Whatchanges Coach Best has made this weekare regarded as beneficial, and the reso-

lute little director has encouraged his mento an extent that will bring from everyone his best effort. The men are doing noboasting, but are confident.

Best will make no predictions. He gaveout the following line-u- p for the contest:Right end. Hohn; right tackle. Allen; rightguard, Boyer; center, Davidson; left guard.Riebel; left tackle, MacManus; left end.Leslie; quarterback, Osborne; left half.Knapp; right half.

WILL RAISE 440,000.

Teachers' College Confident of Secur-ing Rockefeller's Promised 500,000.NEW YORK, Oct. 30. Although only six

days have elapsed since J. D. Rockefelletoffered to contribute $500,000 to Teachers'College, contingent on the raising ofv$440,000by the college trustees, the efforts of thelatter have so far succeeded that the suc-cess of their canvassing is practically as-sured. The authorities of the college havereceived pledges for nearly all of the S440,-00- 0

which the college must obtain. Mr.Rockefeller s offer of $500,000 was made con-ditionally on the payment of all outstandingdebts of the college and the raising of $250,-00- 0

for endowment from other sources. One-ha- lf

of Mr. Rockefeller's 3500.000 will beavailable as soon as the debts of the cor-poration, amounting to $190.000, shall havebeen paid and the other half in Installmentsof 325.000 whenever an equal sum Is re-ceived by the treasurer of the college.

Mr. Rockefeller's contribution to the col-lege was made as "a thank offering to Al-mighty Ood for the preservation of hisfamily and household on the occasion of thedestruction by fire of his country home atPocantico Hills, N. Y., on the night ofSept. 17, 1908."

End of a College Strike.LANSING, Mich.. Oct. 30. A mass meet-

It was to theeffect that the students resume class workand a new committee of the faculty willhear their grievances, and if they can showthat the former action of the faculty Insuspending seventeen students for partici-pating in the freshmen-sophomor- e classrush was unjust the sentences will bematerially altered, and that if the judg-ment of the committee is not satisfactoryto the students they have a right of ap-pealing' to the State Board of Agriculture.The students accepted the proposition.

READY FOR WABASH.

I'nlvemity of Indianapolis Expects toGain a Decisive Victory.

The University of Indianapolis team se-

cured valuable practice yesterday afternoonwhen it lined up against the ShortridgeHigh School eleven. Both teams havegames here w, University of In-dianapolis with Wabash College at Wash-ington Park, and Shortridge with MarionHigh School at Business Men's DrivingClub Park. University of Indianapolis andShortridge were on the field most of theafternoon and Coach Kelly, of Universityor inatanapoiis, is eery confident of a de-cisive victory over Wabash. The Indian-apolis players made three touchdownsagainst Shortridge and but little time wasgiven to offensive playing. Shortridge wasgiven the ball and allowed to retain it forfifteen minutes and only gained twentyyard on the varsity team in that time.Much attention has been given to the de-fensive work and Indianapolis expects toexperience but little difficulty in holdingWabash.

JuJy 1 was some S2S.0QQ or $,000. These !

claims are now pending, the provision forthlr payment has been made and withinthe last few days Mr. Overstreet has takf nup the subject with a view of expeditingthe final payment.

FRIEND OF THE SOLDIER."All the club libraries as well as the pub-

lic libraries of this district have had thecareful, thoughtful attention of Mr. Over-stree- t,

so that they have received all thegovernment publications that would be ofinterest. An examination of the shelves ofthese libraries would show that these pub-lications have been well selected, testifyingto the care and wise discrimination of Rep-

resentative Overstreet in looking after thisphase of his constituency.

"No member of Congress has given morecheerful and courteous attention in his en-deavor to look after the claims of all sol-diers which have been called to his notice.He has never Inquired as to the politics ofthe claimants, but has given equal treat-ment lo all. While, of course, some claimshave been rejected, many have been al-lowed. He, being the son of a veteran, hasgiven most sympathetic endeavor to pro-cure for all soldiers that which they haveought."His sympathetic comprehension of the

inter sts of the soldiers of the Union wasmanifest in conspicuous degree during hisfirst term in Congress. Originating withW adsworth Post, at the home of Mr. Over-stree- t,

was the idea that all pensions shouldbe paid to old soldiers by check. This mat-ter was taken up by the Indiana encamp-ment and finally by the National Encamp-ment, and with this backing Mr. Over-stre- et

Introduced in Congress a bill whichfixed that policy with the pension depart-ment. This did away with the lamentableand hurtful practice that had sprung up atpeneior agencies upon quarterly pay days.This w.-.- s the first tangible result of Mr.Overstreet's public service.

"The members of the House quickly ob-served Mr. Overstreets executive ability.and he was accordingly selected as a mem- - j

ber of the national congressional commit-tee and chosen a member of the executive !

committee in 18W. Since that date he hasserved as secretary of that committee andhas practically had charge of the work ofthat committee during the last two cam-paigns.Air. Overstreefs connection with legis-lation fixing the gold standard in the finan-cial policy of the government has been sopotent and so generally recognized thatonly allusion need be made to that greatpublic service. The flnanciera of the Na-tion accord to him the great honor of hav-ing been the leader in the contest whichhas more firmly fixed the gold standard asa part of th Nation s stability and honor.

THE FEDERAL BUILDING."So It is with reference to the establish-

ment of the Federal building to be erectedIn Indianapolis, which is to cost more thantwo and a quarter millions of dollars. Itwas no small contest and required no emailability and enthusiasm to carry such aproje.-- t to success. The need for such abuilding had been long admitted and urged,but .such building had never come to In-dianapolis, in speaking of this and othermatters it must, of course, not be over-looked that Mr. Overstreet has had thefaithful ana enthusiastic support of Sena-tors Fairbanks and Beveridge, and othernumbers of the Indiana delegation; butIt is not unfair to any to state that to himis more largely due the fact that there Isnow in process of erection a governmentbuilding in Indianapolis which will be a fit-ting monument of architecture to standalongside the great soldiers' monumentand the Capitol building, which stands asA.Swdlt to th PPle of Indiana."The provisions of the bill by which anarmy post is to be established at Indian-apolis are largely due to the untiring inter-est and service of Congressman Overstreet.In procuring the establishment of the armypost two great institutions are to cometo add to the good reputation and financial

HEMES WAY WILL WIN.

Hon. Frank B. Posey Tnlka of FlratDistrict Conditions.

Hon. Frank B. Posey, of Evansville,came to Republican headquarters fromGreensburg yesterday morning;, where hehad made a speech the nfght before."Apathy," he repeated; "there is no apathynow among Republicans. People did notattend meetings at first because the peo-

ple were not ready for a campaign. Sixyears ago, when the silver craze was on,many people were In doubt and would goto meetings held in August in search for In-

formation. Two years ago the Democratsmade imperialism the leading feature, andpeople wanted to know about it and wentto meetings early in the season. This yearthere is no question in doubt of suchpressing Importance and they have beenindifferent about political meetings untilduring the past two weeks. Republicansare more generally satisfied with the pres--

t

em conditions tnan l nave ever Knownthem to be. Now they are realizing theimportance of voting. Probably tluyrealized it all along, but would not attendmeetings when there was no great disturb-ing question. I believe that we shall havea full vote. The fact that the return ofSenator Fairbanks is involved in the issueis a great incentive to Republicans."

When asked about the First district Mr.Posey said: "Have no fear of the Firstdistrict. Mr. Hemenway will have a sub-stantial plurality." When asked for thereasons upon which his faith is based Mr.Posey said: "All the Republicans will votefor him. Two years ago Colonel Owen, theDemocratic candidate, had never been acantankerous partisan, so there were quitea number of Republicans who voted forhim on personal grounds. He got between100 and 200 Republican soldier votes be-caus- ed

he was a prominent soldier. Twoyears ago there was no Populist candidateIn the field and they voted solidly for Col.Owen on the silver issue. In 1896 the Popu-lists had a candidate and gave him 1.313votes. If they had voted for Hemenway'sopponent In 1898 they would have electedhim. This year the Populists have an active candidate who will get a good vote.He will get a good vote because a majorityof the Democratic voters In the First dis-trict are Bryanltes. Two years ago alltheir shouting was for Bryan, but nowthat It is againPi the rules to mention hisname In a Democratic meeting they arenot pleased. Some of them may vote thePopulist ticket. If 1,000 Populists shouldvote for their own candidate who voted forColonel Owen five years ago Mr. Hemen-way will have a good large plurality. TheDemocratic candidate is a bright man anda lawyer of good practice, but his speechesare devoted very largely to the abuse ofRepublicans, and that is not the way towin the votes of men inclined to Repub-licanism. The abuse of the ungodly mayedify the saints, but it does not win sin-ners."

ANONYMOUS CIRCULARS.

Their Tsc by His Pnrty Condemned1 a Democrat.

Anonymous circulars, issued with the in-

tention of injuring Republican candidates,are beginning to appear. One was broughtto light yesterday which contains an attackon Robert Metzger, candidate for sheriff.The circular charges Metzger with violentopposition to the late President Harrison in1892. Each circular is accompanied by acard asking support for Jacob Woessner,the Democratic candidate. Unsigned cir-culars of even more virulent nature are be-ing sent to voters.

A Democrat who stands high In the par-ty in the county said yesterday: "I do notsee why any Democrat should so go beyondthe limits of decency as to send out thesethings making attacks on the characters ofopponents. Politics Is one thing, personalvituperation is another. This is very old-sty- le

politics that was Indulged in whenour fathers were children and when more?uestlonable methods were In general use.

that members of my party dosuch things and I feel like apologizing forthem. However, I do not believe that thesecirculars have any effect, as the unpreju-diced voter takes them for what they areworth nothing."

BALLOTS ARE GUARDED.

Four Men Waich Election Snppllesiti Clerk's Office.

All of the ballots, election material andsupplies for the coming election have beenreceived by the county officials and arestored in the county clerk's office and com-missioners' court. In the clerk's office awatch of four men guards the 110,000 town-ship ballots, 133.000 county ballots and 110,-0- 00

State ballots In the custody of CountyClerk Elliott. The county and townshipballots were not sealed when delivered yes-terde- y,

but the bundle of State balms areeach secured by six or seven large waxseals.

In the office of the commissioners the elec-tion material, put up in bundles for the in-spector of each precinct, is stored. Thebundles to be issued Saturday to the in-

spectors contain the marking pencils, blankcaths and affidavits and the incidental fur-nishings of the election booths.

The election sheriffs to serve at the pollson election day are being sworn in at thesheriff's office and instructed in their duties.To accommodate these men who cannotget away from their places of business dur- -ing the daytime the sheriff's office will beopen to-nig-nt ana Aionaay night rrom 7 un-til 9 o'clock.

Democrats Want Bis; Odds.Democrats are timid about accepting bets

on the chances of Republican candidates.Nothing less than odds offered on majori-ties will be looked at. Even 4 to 1 on Over-stre- et

is passed by and odds of 2 to 1 and 3

to 1 on the state and county ticket are re-

fused. It is probable that many are wait-ing until the odds get higher before riskingtheir money on such dangerous proposi-tions. The first Democratic money thathas appeared was posted at Harry Walk-- jer's place yesterday. Somebody has offered$100 to $300 that Overstreet will not have amajoritv of 2.000. An even bet has b-e-

nosted that his majority will not reach 3.000.Neither bet has been taken yet. On thtother hand, a bet of $300 to SlOu that Over-street- 's

majority will be at least 1.500 hasnot been taken. Bets that Ensley will havea plurality of 1.000. offered at odds of 2 to 1,are going begging. A few Democrats haverisked mcney on August Kuhn at 5 to I,Two or three bets that the Republicans willnot elect nine congressmen have beeu ac-cepted.

Mr. Cotton Hot Alarmed.Fassett A. Cotton, Republican candidate

for superintendent of public instruction,has returned to the city from a speakingtour and adds his emphatic denial of thestory sent out by the Democratic press)bureau to the letter of exoneration writtenby David M. Geetlng, former superintend-ent. Mr. Cotton has too much confidencein the common sense of people generally,it is stated, to believe that such a fishystory will have the slightest effect in los-ing him votes.

HANOVER, WABASH, FRANKLIN AND

EARLHAM INTERESTED.

Meeting; Will Be Held Here to PerfectOrganisation E. W. Newton, of

Hanover, Back of Movement.

A permanent intercollegiate league ofsecondary colleges Hanover, Wabash.Franklin, Earlham and probably some ;

others Is to be organized at a meeting tobe held In Indianapolis in the near future, j

the date not having been set. The move-

ment was started at Hanover College andathletic boards of other colleges have takenup the idea. Delegates have already beenelected at the four schools named to meetIn this city to perfect the organization.

It is the intention of those interested informing the league to adopt rules similarto the ones governing the triangular leagueof Williams, Amherst and Dartmouth col-

leges in the East. Regular schedules willbe arranged for baseball, football, trackevents and basketball. There is no ar-

rangement now of that kind, and it is ex-

pected that such a league would greatly re-

vive interest in all athletics in the second-ary colleges of the State. The schedulesfor basketball and baseball will be ar-ranged probably at the first meeting of thedelegates. The date has not been selected.

E. W. Newton, chairman of the athleticcommittee of Hanover College, is urgingthe movement for a state league. He saysthe organization of such a league has beenconsidered for years, but nothing tangiblewas ever accomplished. He says the or-ganisation of such a league would solvethe question of championship of the Stateof secondary schools in various branchesof athletics. Pennants, trophies and regu-lar prizes will be given victorious contest-ants and teams.

Some of the schools that will enter theleague do not belong to the State association. The new association is not designedto antagonize the State association. Allthe events will be held in Indianapolis as aneutral ground.

FAST BASKETBALL TEAM.

Huggins and Emmerich May Join theY. M. C. A. Five.

The Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. basket ballteam this year will no doubt be the strong-est that has ever represented that organi-zation. The team has begun practicing forthe season and will endeavor to securegames with some of the leading teams inthe West. Millard Huggins, the crack for-ward on last year's Butler team, is prac-ticing with Y. M. C. A. Max Emmerich,one of the best athletes in the- - city, is alsotrying for a position on the Y. M. C. A.five. In addition to those two areMcGaughey, Pritchard, Harden, Bates andHester of last year's team. From thosecandidates and others who will practicewitn the team later a very formidable fivecan be secured.

CHICAGO TAX FEAUDS.

Alleged Coafeanloa by Luke Wheeler,a Convicted 'Flaer."

CHICAGO. OcL 30.-- The Dally News to-day says: Through State's Attorney Demeanond his uncle. Police InspectorWheeler, Luke Wheeler, the con-victed tsx-flxe- r, has revealed in all itsramifications the gigantic plot that col-

lapsed with the discovery of the MasonicTemple tax frauds. To-morro- w, unless thepresent programme ia changed. Wheeler willgo before the grand Jury and in a formaldeclaration, under oath, reiterate the ttafl --

ments made to the prosecutorWheeler s confession pta es him in a new

light, and If accepted literally rstnovesfrom him the stigma of the char .f t .,.ing. up a defense with the tthe dead. The conspiracy, or ra'.' aÄseries of conspiracies, drove two m-- r

suicide, according to the confession. Acording to Wheeler the Masonic Tempiefund was merely Incidental to an est en --

slve series of operations reaching backinto the past and mad.- - possibie throughlax methodi, coupled with a desire on thepart of responsible prominent businesshouses to evade taxation. Moreover, ac-cording to Wheeler's declaration the promis-sory notes he was placed on trial for forgingwere bona fide and legitimste paier. Ksaid thst a public official at 8p:ingntlibought to blackmail the clique, threatenedexposure, and prosecution against m; inparticular and worried into ending his Ufr.

The second suicide involved In the essewas due. Wheeler says, to fear that thefugitive (Wheeler) would confess when hwas brought back from Canaua."
