Political, aneial, re ligious itod fraternal Hocietica are drawn lo this city and muke it a special pince nf meeting lu ono week recently the city was honored with three Convention?, the I tan ker's, tho National Liquor I.'jagun and the National Christian Un ton. Somewhat ap::ri in their missions but high in the n um tie rd of their attendance. The first Bound ninney convention called to delve in the mysteries ul finance was held here; and il was aI->o in this city that the Stale win s were laid for laut fall'n election ! At th? sam? time our wide awake Mayor, Thomas Laggan, was in I'hiladelphia making a plea for tho ''National Bicycle I Moot" to cotna her? nert year, and ?L'H a j '?dead certainty'' (hat the Hoosier Capital will get it. Mr. Lnggart WBB niado Mayor for a second term at the election on the 1-th of Inst month. He is a young man who lins risen from the ashes, as it wore, having scaled the ladder from the humble occupation of a lonah counter hoy to that of County Auditor for two terms, and now Herving as Mayor for the second term. This is the city possessing the greatest soldiers and sailors monument in the world , it stands in the cmterof the city and also in the center of a circle street which wa? the original "Governor'sCir cle." Tho lal! shaft towera nearly three hundred feet, and is surrounded by mas s'..' Mowing fountains, statues and elaborate 'war'1 and "peace" groups: the groups being the designs ol' the famous Herman sculptor, Bruno Schmidt. Tue cost of thex monument, which is not yet finished, is about six hun dred thousand dollars and will require, perhaps, many more hundreds of dollars lo completo it. Our etty has about sev enty-live miles asphalt streets;, aside from miles of block, brick and uiacaduml/.sd streets, ?nd atl'mta many delightful drives amid bowers of shad? trees and ?long spa cious lawns and parks. A two million Slate House and a < 'ourt House of equal coat am conspicuous buildings in the city, and add much tn the metropolltau ap pearance of the Hoosier Capital. We have, perhaps, the mnat completo electric, street railway system extant. Kvery car in tho city passos a special point, and passengers are transferred to any part of town for oue Uru, sonic of the lines running several ailles outside ol' the cit}'. Another feature of I ndiauapoiis is her great Union Station, over 12"? trains arrive and depart from it every twenty-four hours.
