INDIANAPOLIS.
The twenty-fourth city in population in the United States, is the capital and chief commercial city of Indiana, located on West fork of White river, in Marion county, 111 miles northwest of Cincinnati, 240 east of St. Louis, 195 southeast of Chicago, and 825 west of New York. The city was settled as the seat of government in 1820, laid out in 1821, and occupied as the capi- tal in 1824.
GENERAL FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS.
Indianapolis is the largest inland town, and one of the greatest railroad centers, in the United States. It is situated nearly in the geographical centre of the State, sur- rounded by a fertile agricultural district. the climate is salubrious, and the resources of nature abound in great richness, con- sisting of inexhaustible coal fields and stone quarries to the south and west, and unculled forests on all sides, which, for the production of valuable timber, are unex- celled. The city is handsome in appear- ance, has much private wealth, is well laid out in wide, handsome streets, is lighted by, gas and electricity, and for handsome resi- dence property it probably has no equal in
the United States. The sewerage of the city is excellent, its death mortality low ; the location all that could be desired, either for commerce or manufacture, and her citizens are energetic, enterprising, and liberal, and there is no point more favora- ble for the location of all kinds of manu- facturing establishments than this; and any legitimate enterprise will find all ad- vantages to be desired, and will receive a hearty welcome and support. Within the last two years the city has made rapid pro- gress, both in trade and manufacture. Among the more prominent industries re- cently established are the car works, steel rail mill, linseed oil mill, hominy mill, furniture factory, tallow rendering estab- lishment, vinegar works, railroad frog and crossing works, and many smaller industries. It must be evident, even to the most casual observer, that Indianapolis has superior advantages for becoming a leading manu- facturing city, and its facilities for the distribution of manufactured products are absolutely unsurpassed.

and affords unparalleled facilities for the location of manufactories along its line. The establishing of a great majority of the manufactories within the last two years is due nearly entirely to the Belt Road, and it is safe to say that they would not have located here had it not been for this impor- tant road.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
This city is very compactly built, and has many handsome public buildings and business blocks. The most prominent are the Court House, which is a model of arch- itectural beauty and handsome finish, erected at a cost of about $1,500,000. The new State House now under course of con-
with stores and armament $881,000. The officers are 2 in number, Major Arnold, commandant, and Captain Rexford, com- mander of storage. Soldiers on duty, 25. The scenery at the Arsenal is exceedingly picturesque and attracts many visitors to the grounds.
THE STATE MUSEUM.
Was organized in the year 1870, by the State Geologist; it is located in the Gal- lup Block, corner Market and Tennessee. It has been quadrupled within the last 2 years and now contains more than 50,000 specimens of fossils carefully determined and scientifically arranged, with specimens of gems, ores, corals and crystalized rocks ;

struction, will be, when completed, the most handsome and substantial of its kind, in the west. The State benevolent and one of the penal institutions are located here, and comprise the Insane Asylum, Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. The Blind Asylum and the Indiana Reformatory Institution for Women and Girls, which was established in 1869, opened for inmates in 1873. It has 2 departments, reformatory andpenal. This institution is located just south of Woodruff Place, covers 10 acres of ground, on which is one large building erected at a cost of $150,- 000. The grounds are a portion of the origi- nal State reservation, and are, in conse- quence, no considerable cost to the present establishment. The Government Arsenal was located at Indianapolis in 1862. The different departments are under the com- mand of the chief of ordnance, and cost to complete, including grounds, $641,000,
also, a nearly complete collection of Indi- ana beetles, butterflies and land and fresh water shells ; likewise, about 10,000 speci- mens giving a full exhibit in specimens representing the prehistoric age, the latter so complete as to be of special importance to Indianapolis and attractive to tourist and traveler. The Geological Library is quite complete. The Stone Age is not for- gotten. Building stone specimens from this State are now on exhibition, from which visitors are apprised of the unparalleled su- periority of this material. The city Court House at Chicago, the Indiana State House and Court House, the Custom House at Louisville, and a portion of Vanderbilt's palace, the crypt of General Lee's monu- ment in Virginia, new Cotton Exchange at. New Orleans, are constructed of this ma- terial ; while over 1,500 car loads have been transported to St. Louis to be used in.

STOCK YARDS.
The Union Stock Yards are the most complete in equipments and appointments of any in the West, excepting Chicago only; their shed room, stabling and pens are all under roof and thoroughly under-drained and supplied with feed racks and water troughs throughout. The Exchange Hotel, a fine brick building with several fine offices, adorns the grounds and furnishes room for the officers of the Belt R. R., and a number of live-stock commission firms. This institution, beyond all mere business calculation, has an importance in Indian- apolis that can not be computed. Its re- ceipts and shipments for 1881 are shown by the following tabulated statement :
BANKS.
Indianapolis now has 12 banks, with an aggregate capital and surplus of $3,308,- 734, and deposits amounting to $11,428,415. All the banks are members of the Clearing House Association. The transaction of this concern for 1881 amounted to $109,557,213, - and for the first six months of 1882 it reached $51,539,686. The following is a summary of the banks, giving name, capi- tal, surplus and deposits :

HOTELS.
The hotels of Indianapolis rank second to none in the west, and it is no exaggera- tion to say that better accommodations are nowhere to be found, and that railroad of- ficials and the traveling public are gener- ally aware of this fact, and make a point of stopping over here whenever business will admit. There is probably no feature of a city that so materially gives it noto- riety as its hotels, and in this point Indian- apolis has gained a reputation well earned by the many hotels here.

BELTED SIDE.
There are only four Driving Belts on the Separator, Viz :
: One main belt, running from the Cylinder and driving the Fan; one small belt driving the only Beater in the machine; one belt driving the Grain Rake, and one belt driving the Straw Carrier. It is neither a Vibrator nor an Apron Machine, but far surpasses either in all the essential requisites of a Perfect Thresher. It is easy of management, light running, capable of very rapid threshing, as the Separating Table and Seives will take care of all that can be passed the Cylinder. In separating and cleaning it excels all others. It threshes everything a farmer has to thresh -- Wheat, Rye, Oats, Bar- ley, Flax, Timothy, Millet, Clover and Peas It handles Flax and Timothy, nearly as rapidly as grain, requiring no change of parts, except seives, and cleans them fit for market. With its Clover Attachment it threshes Clover fully equal to any Huller. It is by far the most popular Separator in the market, outselling all others wherever known. It invariably secures the most and best jobs of threshing.
