These are no fancy pictures tout statements will be made at tbs meeting to-night that will convince the most skeptical. Above In whatever calling, business er profession engaged, have a pride In the city of yonr nativity or adoption.

Come totbe meeting. Let tbe opera house be filled to overflowing. Let it be known by your presence that you are in favor of this movement? that yon are in favor of Muncie. There are very few drones in the Muncle hive, and the number is growing beautifully less. Let it be said that there are none, but that every man who could help the cause along bae done so by bis subscription.

Tbe question is a personal one with every citizen. is not what tbl or that ujan has dfine, but have I dose my duty. Attend tbe meeting without fail and then answer the question for yourself. The factories are waiting to come to Mtancie. Two large establishments, whose products are known the world over, and which employ eight hundred hands will remove to Muncle as soon as they are assured of the hearty co-operation of ourcit-izens.

They will be convinced wben we have raised the $200,000 fund. Come out to-night and learn the details. Fair aod square propositions will bo submitted to the meeting and a prompt answer should be given. The attention of tbe most extensive manufacturers in tbe West is now directed toward Muncie. They know that we have tbe gas, and that, unlike other portions of tbe Indiana field, our territory is not being tapped in all directions to drain tbe gas away to remote manufacturing centres.

Delaware 'county can easily supply a city 'of 50,000 inhabitants with the precious and costless fuel and this is what Mnncle will be in five years from this date if we are successful in raising the $200,000 fund. Muncie will then become the finest market for our agricultural products of any inland city in the great West will be tbe bead of the market, with all that that implies, forxine of the finest agricultural sections in tbe United States. This is of impor-tanceto farm owners and they should come out to-night and encourage the movement while being encouraged by it. Let every man and every woman with a dollar at stake in Muncies growth aDd prosperity encourage the meeting by their presence, even if tbe way is not now clear for tbem to give the movement any great financial aid. Your good will can be abowu by your presence.

Let none remain away. Enterprise Company, amounting to $200,000 has been solicited, and about $140,000 has been subscribed. None of tbe fond is to be available until tbe whole amount has been raised. Tbe affairs of the company are to be closed up within five years. With the details the Times believes almost every citizen of Muscle is familiar.

Tbe importance of tbe movement has received almost universal commendation and the only question now Is, will tbe citizens of Muncie, the citizens of one of the most beautiful, enterprising and advantageously located cities in Indiana, allow this movement to fail simply because sixty thousand dollars has not been subscribed. This is positively tbe last week that an effort will be made. It is now or never, so Tar as this fund is concerned. Propositions are pending and have been submitted to-day for tbe first time, that makes it of vital, importance that there should be no further bolding back in this matter. Muncie will be a city of 50,000 inhabitants within three years if the citizens want it to be.

If that Is the desire, within the three days remaining $60,000 will be subscribed and within six months New Stock Just In. Variety Store, 202 EAST MAIN STREET. Hmiu SDut WmDw Fair and warmer. No chloroform in Uncle Sams Cough byrnp. Safe and reliable for old and young.

Tbe receipts of the Old Reliable, tbe Delaware County Building, Saviugs and Loan Association, being constantly incceaslffg, borrowers are enabled to obttdA loans at tbe lowest limit of premium, eight cents per share and week, without having to bid tbe niouey ont. One half of tbe weekly payment goes to the reduction of tbe piincipal. Borrowers are not required to pay back dues, nor six months an advance, before being entitled to a loan. Tbe contract as to the life time of a loan, in this association, is eight years, is stated in the mortgage, and therefore equally binding on both parties to tbe contract. Building and loan borrowers who haven't this protection have an opportunity bere to hedge against the possibility and probability of continuing their payments ten or a dozen years.

Theories as to wben a loan will pay out based upon widely vary ing rates of premium is problematical to say tbe least. A verbal assurance made to a borrower that his loan will probably pay out in six or seven years avails him nothing; in law only tbe written contract goea. See to it. This association has now more tban $175,000 00 loaned; has passed the experimental stage; bas reached a point where money is liable to be too abundant to be kept constantly employed, consequently is not drumming particularly for Investors, excepting it be Ibose of wage earners who desire to save up, of which class there have been many gratifying accessions right along; however, this is the Peoples Bank and open to every one.

An accident occurred at the union reducing elation of the Muucie Natural Gag Company in the north-eastern part of the city, at 11 o'clock this morning, which resulted in the serious injury of Ed-ard Colvin, the man in charge and considerable damage to the property. A pressure of about three hundred pounds is kept on the pipes at the station all the time. This morning there was a slight leak of gas at one of the points iu the big pipe In the station and Mr. Colvin took a hammer and chisel and attempted to calk up the joint to stop the leak. It Is supposed that the pounding on the pipe jarred the joint loose in some way and the heavy pressure forced the pipes apart.

One part of the pipe was driven through the stone wall in the basement of the building, the windows were forced out aud the roof blown off by the force of the escaping gie. Mr. Colvin was thrown with terrific force against the pipes some distance from where be was working, striking the back of his bead against one of the pipes, inflicting a severe scalp wound. He was rendered unconscious and the escaping gas almost suffocated him. When taken out of the building he was more dead than alive.

Drs. Green and Bowers were called to dress his injuries and when they arrived found him in a very critical condition. BUSINESS IN THE (OIKIS. A Third Street Joint Raided and Ten Victims (lathered In A Big Wrist la the Police Court Divorce Cases and Other Business la the Cireait Court. The house of 111 shape located on Third street near the Church of God was raided by Marshal Miller and officers Benadum, Turner and Beall on Saturday night, and ten victims, five women and five men, were gathered in.

They were Minnie Dwyre, the proprietress, Fannie Williamson, Edna Heaton, Amanda Campbell and Fannie Brightwood; Samuel Huff and Reory Bramen of El wood; George Moore and Jefferson of this city, and a married man whose home is near Selma, but whose name the reporters could not get. Some of (he men put up the money for their fines when arrested and were allowed to go The rest of the gaDg were before Esquire Keener this morning when they pleaded guilty; the women to prostitution and the men to associating. The women were fined $16 85 each and the men $22 60 each. There were two Sunday drunks before Esquire Eiler this morning. James Maloney was the first to appear in the dock.

James, said his honor, celebrating Sunday with a bottle of iwbisky is not a highly moral or elevating practice. Where did you get your liquor? "I was in the country, your honor, replied the prisoner. Men do not go into the country hunting for a jag. The quiet that comes of life in the country is not conducive to hilarity, and the Indiana woods do not grow intoxicating beverages. Your fine is $12.85," said tbe court, "and an effort will be made to find out where yoa got your Sunday drinks.

Stayed. Phillip Sbeckle was the next to climb upon the justice wagon. You have been desecrating tbe Sabbath, Phillip said his honor, by getting drunk. What have you to say? Guilty, came the response. $12.45 will settle your bill, said tbe court.

In the circuit court on Saturday divorces were granted in the following cases: Nora White from Joseph White; Dora B. Smith from James R. Smith, divorce, $300 alimony and $15 per month for maintenance of child; Beuj. Brown from Sarah Brown. New cases have been filed In tbe circuit court as follows: Toney C.

An Erroaeous It has been reported recently that diphtheria wae prevalent in Mnncle, and many people have been mneb alarmed over tbe reports.

A BLUFF. ble (rant Finuejr, a a sasl Tongh, Tries I Bulldoze! heporter. Home time ago the joint run by Kate Finney on south Plum street was raided, and tbe local papers gave the place an airing, as it is known to he one of tbe toughest itt the city. Graut Finney, a son of the dame who runs tbe joint, took offense at the references to his mother and threatened to wreak vengeance upon tbe reporters who wrote up the place. Ou Saturday night Finney met Milt Carmichael in the stairway leading to tbe opera house, where he attempted to provoke a fight, bnt Carmichael avoided him, as FinDey was drinking.

Later, Carmichael went to Robins barber shop on Jackson street to get shaved. Fin- ney and several of his pais saw tbe reporter go into tbe barber shop and waited for him to come out. When tbe reporter stepped out of the door of the barber shop Finney assaulted him, bat Carmichael succeeded in warding off the blow dealt at his face. A crowd was soon attracted to the scene and further trouble was avoided. Finney made dire threats, not only against Carmichael but against tbe Tlmeae reporters also.

He is a bluffer and a ooward and his attempt to intimidate the reporters in order to keep them from airing the joint of iniquity will not win. It Is not an uncommon thing for newspaper reporters to be subjected to violence at the hands of such characters as Grant Finney, but they will continue to give the news and keep an eye on the toughs, all attempts at Intimidation to the contrary notwithstanding. Not Much of a War. More than one of our contemporaries have alluded facetiously tothe baking powder war. ThereHs no war of the character Indicated.

A certain baking powder achieved fame because It wae better than anything that had previously been prepared, and because it was advertised in a liberal, original and judicious manner. Tbe success of this powder led to imitation, as success always does but to assert or to intimate that there Is war between the Royal Baking Powder and Its more or lesa feeble Imitatore suggests the picture of a death grapple between an eagle and a bouse-fly. Gospel Temperance Meeting. Several members of the Muncie blue ribbon elub held a temperance meeting at Salem church yesterday. Prof.

Johnson and a quartette composed of Jacob Benbow, Harlan Harrington, Milt L. Collins and Ed Kendall rendered excellent music for tbe occasion. Speeches were made by Elmer Horton, E. Thornburgh, 8. E.

S. Hill, of the L. E. W. had tendered his resignation to take effect as soon as his successor could be appointed.

The position has been tendered to George P. Jarvis, late of tbe B. A O. By. Charles Nation Released.

Charles Nation, the Westside attorney who was arrested on Saturday on a charge of embezzlement, was released Saturday evening on his own recognizance. It seems that there had never been aDy formal demand made upon him for the money he had collected for David Thompson, and if he pays over the amount due, promptly, nothing more will be done with the matter. Deaths. Mre. Joseph Duckwall died at her home in Riverside yeeterday at 11 oclock of consumption after a lingering illness of several months.

Funeral services will be held at the residence to-morrow afternoon. The two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sanders died at tbeir home, 405 east Wysor street, at 8 oclock last night of scarlatina. The fnneral will occnr to-morrow afternoon at oclock.

Man or Wonsan. Ghost or We cannot say what will care ghosts, bat many men and many women who look like ghosts rather than human beings, ttu-onub sickness, would regain health and happiness, if they would try the virtue of the world renowned remedy, Dr Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. Torpid liver, or biliousness, impure blood, skin eruptions, scrofulous sores and swellings, consumption (which is HCiofula of the Junes), all yield to this wonderful medicine. It Is both tonic and strength restoring, and alterative or blood cleansing. Roy Thompson has accepted a position in the Times composing rooms.

Morphine Habit Cared. A few, If not many of my friends, are aware of the fact that from tbe use of morphine fora painful disease of one of my limbs I became a victim to the habitual use of the drug. Beginning it at the bands of tbe physicians I wae finally advised to nse it myself and upon not needing it any more for the relief of pain I tried to quit It bnt found myself bound tight' to the habit. From that time on I have been in great trouble and tbe Idea that I was a victim of Bach a terrible thing as morphine and I determined to rid a. aocxrr hyson Hamilton HOCKET HAMILTON, 413 WALNUT, Bait.

I contemplated going to Illinois for treatment, but in the mean time noticed an article in tbe Times of our city stating that Dr. O. J. Gronendyke of New Castle was treating tbe morphine and alcohol habits successfully and I resolved to investigate his treatment before going further. I talked with people who had been treated and with those who were taking treatment and they all recommended it so highly that I began the treatment on Tuesday, Oct.

4th and am now, after three weeks treatment, wholly without desire for morphine and feel better tban I have for a long time. If it had not been for a short illness during treatment, which wae wholly unconnected with it, I think I should have been very much stronger tban I am. I noticed an article in tbe New Ca- papers taken from the Muncie Times that I should probably not recover but I am here all right. The success of the treatment is truly wonderful. While here I have eeen people leaving perfectly cured, the happiest persons Imaginable, and tbe most wonderful thing is the fact that there Ib so little suffering or inconvenience from it.

In the Interest of my fellownuan and through a sense of gratitude to the doctor I write this, hoping it may do him and others some good C. H. Maitlev. School Report. The enrollment in the Muncie schools passed the 2,000 point last week.
