MORMON CONFERENCE ADJOURNS.
The Missionaries to Hereafter Labor in the Larger Cities.
The traveling elders to the
Northern Indiana Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints convened in conference at Crumstown, this

people of Crumstown proved very kind and hospitable in
entertaining the visitors and all were agreed that, if possible,
they would again visit friends at that place. Especial
credit, they say, is due the families of Mr. John Pontius, Mr.
John Reaves, Mr. Sensenbaugh, Mr. James Woofter and others.
There were in attendance at the meeting
which closed Tuesday evening, 13 missionaries, a number of lay
members and a host of friends and inquirers. Elder Samuel
G. Spencer, president of the Northern States mission, who is
continually visiting among the conferences established, reported
that throughout the northern states the elders are meeting with
success. This shows that the people are becoming better
acquainted with the Mormon people and in doing so they learn that
their motives are to assist in making better the people and
establish the Church of Christ. The labors of the
missionaries in this conference will in the future be confined to
the larger cities. With this in view missions will be
established at Indianapolis, Logansport, Lafayette, Muncie,
Bluffton and Angola, Ind.
All correspondence pertaining to the
affairs of the conference will be given prompt attention and
letters of inquiry should be addressed to Ernest M. Boyer,
Logansport, Ind.

line. The train arrived at Walkerton about 8:30 o'clock and
was met by the McKinley Marching club, of that place. There
a procession was formed and a parade of the principal streets
made while the air resounded with patriotic songs, cheers for
McKinley and was ablaze with fireworks. The streets were
thronged with people who joined in the enthusiasm.
Speeches were made by Hon. Theodore L.
Shockney, of Seymour, Mr. C. D. Bowen, of Indianapolis, and Mr.
Schuyler Colfax, of this city. The exercises were held in

OREN, County Treas.
LINCOLN IS COMING.
SON OF A DISTINGUISHED FATHER.
He Will Address the People of Northern Indiana at South Bend
on Saturday, Oct. 31--Large Crowd is Expected in the City.
Saturday, Oct. 31, will be the biggest
day of the 1896 campaign in northern Indiana. The center of
the mammoth demonstration of the republicans of this vicinity
will be South Bend and the most noted of the speakers who will
aid in making this celebration a memorable one will be Hon.
Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago. Another speaker of
prominence will be Hon. Clark E. Carr, of Galesburg, Ill.
There will also be other speakers of local and greater
note. It is possible that among them will be Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas.
The day will be a gala one. The
forenoon will be devoted to a completion of the final details of
the celebration of the afternoon and evening. In the
afternoon a grand parade will be held followed by speaking and
those features will be repeated in the evening with the addition
of red fire, fire works and all other things necessary to make a
success of an evening parade. Bands of music and martial
drum corps will fill the air with patriotic strains and the
American flag in profusion will wave to the breeze. Good
weather will be the only other requisite to a grand and great
celebration.
The republican clubs of the city will
all turn out and they expect the farmers, business men, wage
earners and all sound money people in the city, county and out of
it to join them in making this a day that will never be
forgotten. It is probable that the railroads will provide
with reduced fares so that residents of all adjoining counties
and other parts of Indiana and Michigan can afford to visit South
Bend and participate in the grand festivities.
Everyone knows of Robert T. Lincoln and
all will want to hear him. He is a son of the martyred
president, Abraham Lincoln, and has held very high positions of
trust for the United States government. Mr. Carr is an
ex-congressman and is one of the most prominent citizens of
Illinois. He is on the stump this campaign and is doing
fine work of the republican party. With such men as these
and with magnificent afternoon and evening demonstrations
Saturday, Oct. 31, will be a great day in South Bend.
Capt. D. A. Ireland, who had such
success in raising a cavalry escort at the time Gen. Alger's was
here, will get up another cavalry company for this occasion and
horses and saddles will again be in demand. He desires that
all men in the country and city and in towns and cities in this
vicinity who will take part in this and have horses and saddles
either for their own use or the use of others let him know as
soon as possible. He may be seen personally or addressed by
letter at 232 North Michigan street, this city. [I don't
have this completely confirmed yet, but I think present-day
Ireland Rd. was named for Capt. D. A. Ireland. If anyone
knows for certain, please let us all know.]
HORSEMEN ON LINCOLN DAY.
Capt. D. A. Ireland Organizing a Cavalry Brigade for That Occasion.
Capt. D. A. Ireland is organizing a cavalry brigade for the grand republican demonstration in this city on Lincoln day, Saturday, Oct. 31. It is proposed to get together on that occasion all the horsement that can be procured in St. Joseph county and the adjoining counties. All who can ride a horse on that day, and will do so, will please report to Capt. Ireland at 1:30 o'clock on the afternoon of the parade.
Republican Meetings Wednesday Night.
Jerry Hildebrand and Robert Dunbar, of this city, spoke to a good sized audience at the Louck's school house in Madison township and Mr. George F. Clarke addressed a large crowd at New Carlisle.
