The Sun issue outlines subscription rates and delivery details. It notes in and outside city pricing, six cent weekly carrier delivery, and advance payment terms for different periods. It invites advertisers and agents to contact the business office and editor for communications.
The Sun explains publishing a fatal Kansas City storm tale based on telegraph indorsements, regrets the error, and notes plans to withhold vaccination letters as they offer little new insight and would prolong debate.
The editorial mocks Coxey’s unemployed army and criticizes aid to California and Texas men. It mocks Gen Frey and questions local improvements on Clifford avenue while noting rising streetcar crowds. The piece also jokes about Pug Smith and Coxey’s Washington arrival.
General Frey asserts he can show men how to get rich but does not apply his advice to himself or aid poorer workers. The piece notes one democratic figure, John Griffin Carlisle, as a lone statesman connected with the current administration, casting him as the sole exception.
Austin Denny the attorney owns several acres northeast of the city and enjoys visiting them. An old horseman notes horses are cheaper now than since the war, with roadsters fetching the best price. Police activity is light with few arrests for the season. Supt. Powell blames lax liquor law enforcement. Rev. Milburn uses note glasses only after speaking. A thunderstorm Sunday night saw a North-side young woman read five Bible chapters after dressing in bed, an incident tied to past lightning injury. Indianapolis keeps pace with the procession despite slow tempo. Several young men wear sick hats and long coats popular in the east.
Public notice style text offers free help ads and paid lines for employment and goods.
