To secure reduced railroad rates, delegates must pay full fare coming and take a receipt for same from their ticket agent. All railroad ticket agents are furnished with blank receipts or certificates for this purpose, which are known as "Central Traffic Association Certificates." However, should any ticket agent be without these certiticates,the delegates should take a receipt for full amount of fare, naming the station where ticket is purchased and the road or roads over which delegates will come. All who secure such certificates will be returned at one cent per mile, making one and one-third fare for the round trip. The principal hotels have agreed to special reduced rates per day, for delegates and others attending the annual meetings, on proper recognition. Prices range from $1 50 to $3 per day. Written for the Indiana Fanner. "A Gas Castle." BY MRS. P. M. COOrER. I bave received a letter from a friend living in the gas district. She says that In Noblesville, since they used the street torches they are not bothered with insects ; that they fly into the flames and are consumed. She further says: "When we get a well of natural gas on our farm I will go into the poultry business, heat their i, winter quarters with gas, get eggs all winter, have chickens for early market, etc." That is a gas castle. I do not ' know whether she thought of using gas in artifical incubation or not, but here is a field for experiment. In speaking of its consuming insects she says: "I should think it would be a nice thing to have torches in the orchards and thus consume the moths that are so destructive." Well, why not? Perhaps the possibilities with gas have not all been dreamed of yet. Perhaps in future we can utilize gas for defeating Jack Frost when he comes to lock our fruit buds in icy fetters, thus destroying one of our most healthful articles of diet. If our strawberry beds are threatened we can save them with gas instead of sitting up at night to keep fires around them, or making artificial clouds by burning pitch. We will produce an artificial climate so that seekers after health need not be humbugged into going to California or Florida. We will luxuriate in peaches and sen.i-tropical fruits. The labor of getting fuel for winter fires, which consumes so much of the farmer's time will be a thing of the past. But I leave the rest to your imagination. The principal business portion of Otwell, Pike county, was burned Tuesday. The buildings burned included several stores, shops and the postoffice. The principal business houses of the town have been burned out by incendiaries three times during the past five years. Frank Morris of Spencer fatally shot himself, Saturday., while loading his gun to go hunting.
