The bonrd of trustee of the Pres byterian church met Friday evening to consider offers mndo for the prop erty where the church now stands, and it is generally understood that a sale will bo closed in ;hc near fu ture at something like from $25,000 to $27,000. Tho lot whoro tho inau'-e now stands has attracted the eye of in vestors and it is understood thnt as high as $15,000 has been offered for this quarter block. These properties nro located fronting the park, and it is small wonder thnt someone has not succeeded in snapping them up crc this.

ONE SPEECH BY TEDDY IS WORTH . 10.000 VOTES So Say Managers of Senator Bev eridge, Who Think Roosevelt's In fluence Is Enough to Pile Up Tre mendous Vote In Their Favor. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 9. One speech by Theodore Roosevelt is equivalent to 10,000 votes. That is the "official forecast" of the polit ical managers of Senator Beveridge, who today are predicting that John W. Kern, Democratic candidate for the senate, will be swamped through the colonel's lifesaving invasion of Indiana. Ten thousand voters will be brought into 'lino for the Republican senator, the forecasters suy, through the colonel's influence, and 10,000 doubtful votes is always considered enough to swing Indiana. That Roosevelt's influence is enough to mnkc that difference in the total vote of the state is the firm belief of the Beveridge supporters. They point to the fact that Roose velt carried tho state by more than 00.000 in 1904 nnd thnt four years later Taft had barely enough margin to secure the Indinnn electors. The difference, the politicians declare, wns purely a matter of pcrsonnl fol lowing. A man with so much fol lowing ought to be able to swing u large part of it, thej declare, to any mnn whoso case he takes up.
