Kxperieiie at Santiago. William D.uley. a private in the 21st Infantry, who wai wounded at Santiago, is visiting his lirotbor at Terre Hauto. The lialle:' which wouuded him passed t'.iroi.jrh ins nip, nipped his elbow :;ad f attem-d against the stock of hit gun. Dorley gives a graphic doBci ipiion of the tight. When in closu quarters at one time a vumLd Spaniard was seen crawling way. A colored infantryman raiiied his gun to shoot him, v hen his Lieutenant made him lower his weapon and started tovnrd the Spaniard to sec how l.adly he was injured. With a -last vffoit the Spaniard shot the Li 2U tenant dead, almost instantly ths enured soldier shot the Spaniard. Dorley says it is not the heat of the sun's rays from which the Americans suffer but the vapor that arises from the sandy Boil after the rains.

Not over 300 Americans have been Idled in the present war, while fiOO persons lost their livee by the sinking of the Bourgogne. The jeaee at any price people who talk of the horrors of war should advocate the abolition of commerce en account of the tragedies of the sea.

The London Saturday Review has completely reversed its views of the army and navy of tbe United States, and is new lavish with compliments. What tbe KeYiew would have said about an American defeat will never be known, but it would have been vitriolic. The embarrassing fact was that no defeat happened. American Generals in the present war are at least twelve years older on an average than thos prominent in the civil war. It cannot be said that an American General at 60 shows any decline in a disposition to fight before breakfast.

An impression seems to prevail in some quarters that the new revenue law requires receipts for :i-onoy to be stamped. This is not the case. An ordinary receip: for money paid for rent, or for any purpose, cither on account or in full, does not require A stump. It it only when a receipt is drawn so as to include a k-HSt; or other contract that a -Stsmp is required, and then it it because of a contract feature, not the receipt. It is only when a receipt is something more than a receipt that it requires a stamp. Indianapolis Journal. One reason says an exchange, "Wh- th people never pay any attention tc signs and advertisements daubed on old fences, stables and bridges, is because they -do not know whether they are rending the advertisement of some firm that is still in business, or one that has been dead for years. When the people read the advertisement in a newspaper that is up-to-date, they know that the Advertiser is alive and doing basinets.

Frank Garmichael, who is one of those who left Monterey, Calif., for Alaska, writes an interesting letter to his sister, Mrs. Harry Turner of this city, and among other things says: ""The first news received in the Klondike country of the war was as follows: Some party that had no 'outfit to bring in left Seattle May 3d and brought a paper of that date. The Seattle Post Intelligence, the morning daily paper. As he came through light he made very fast time and reached

Dawson City May 21. He sold

the paper for $50 and tbe parties

that bought it engaged a hall and

charged 50c. admission to hear

the war news read and they had two readings, night of May 21, and afternoon of May 22, and lered about $250 on the trans-

Another I)ainap Suit. Mrs. Emma Whisiuunl has tiled suit for $10,000 damages against

the Motion, through her at tor rev, John K. Eiist. The suit grows out of the wreck Dee. 1 1 th when a southbound freight train collided with the accommodation train near the .-id street crossing. The complaint alleges that Mrs. Whisnand got on the accommodation train at MeDoel to ride to Blooming ton, and although no fare was charged, she was accepted by the company as u passenger. When the collision occurred she was thrown from her seat violently against another seat and sustained a number of bad wounds and bruises on her body, knocking out several ot her teeth, and causing a deep wound in her knee, which has rendered her limb partially stiff. Mrs. Smith further claims that her left side and hack were so badly hurt as to cause internal injuries. That by rerson of these injuries she has become a cripple for life and has incurred a debt of 150 for medical attendance and will be compelled to pay $500 additional, and that she has lost much time, reasonably worth per week. Tbe Bloomington township .Republican convention to nominate 3 candidates for justices of the peace and 3 for constables, was held at 1 o'clock Saturday in the court house. Hon. Win. F. Browning was chosen chairman and Mayor Hadlcy, secretary. The only names presented for justices were John Kelly, Harry A. Axtell and John W. Dickson and their nominations was made unanimous. Morton. Norman, Doctor Wilson and Samuel Colpitts were unanimously chosen for constables. Perry township convention was held at MeDoel school house and the following nominations were made for justices of the peace: James M. ltiee, Alfred Perring and Joseph Lindsey. For constables: Win. Norman, Walter Borland and Sherman Wright. O Bedford Democrat: ' 'Judge Martin received a message saying that his brother-in-law, John Daugherty, of Richmond, Mo., has been nominated for congress. Mr. Daugherty, it may be added, is not of the same political faith as Judge Martin. He was nominated by a Democratic convention and wili doubtless be elected."

Mrs. S. E. Garmichael goes to Indianapolis this week on a ten days' visit to her daughter, Mrs. Theo. Willis. She was accompanied by her two sons. The Republican State ticket is an exceptionally strong one, and a winner all the way through. There are three Indiana University-graduates on the ticket: Wm. L. Taylor, Willis Blatchtoy and Frank L. Jones.

That artistic ad. of Field Bros, was the creation of Mr. Went worth of the Morning "World."

Frank Sullivan, aged 80, died at the Soldiers' Home last Saturday. Jacob Wingert, aged 69, died at Crawfordsville this week.

On August 25th an institute and picnic will be held by the farmers of Monroe county at the grove of J. 11. Shook at Ellettsyille. A professor from Purdue university will be present and deliver an address. An interesting program of local farmers and speakers of both sexes is being prepared, and a very profitable meeting is anticipated. The following gentlemen compose the committee on arrangements: F. F. Cinder, W. B. Walden, Win. M. Reeves, J- II. Shook, Dow Woodall, W. M. Farmer, T. B. Kilter, J. T. Kller. Richard Gentry and his daughters, Misses Lillie and Jessie, have returned from the Gentry reunion at Crab Orchard

Springs, Ky. It was a big thing j in :very way, and showed lhatj th:' Gentry family is an oxtraor-; dirarilv large one in the south, ; especially in Keuturky and M s ; MOtifi.

The Sunday excursion to Leuisville carried 143 passengers from tnis point. Nat. Hill jr. is visiting in Bay View, Mich., where the families of P. . and L. V. Butkirk are spending the summer. Peace now seems assured, and the soldier boys may be home to spend Christmas. Ike Hooper, of Renville, Minn., is on a visit to relations hare. He has been away twenty years. Misses Ellon and Alice Farii , of west 6th street, have gone to Denver, Col., on a visit. A new and peculiarly fata! disease has appeared among the horses in northern Indiana. The animal is first attacked with profuso perspiration. This is followed by a chill, then the head swells. There is a heavy dis

charge of mucus and dcatu speedily ensues. The disease is extremely contagious and is usually fatal in a few hours after the first attack. Many have died from the effects of the now malady. OBITUARY.

from '-Town Talk" in i;;aominr:ou ! hear that another tight is to be made by pel it ion against grafting license to nalnons in the First Ward. It seems to me that the bent way to tight saloon license is before commissioners by remonstrance. In thi way improper persons can ho kept from obtaining license, and none but well conducted and law abiding saloons

permitted. 1 don't see why the) tight is renewed at this time, j Two years ago the attempt to pro-, hibit saloons in the First Ward!

by petition wa? a failure, audi Jin- j

ally, the opposition agreed to surrender if the saloon keepers would pay the costs and attorneys' fees, which thev did. About .ix Years

ago they did Iho same thing. It' looks as if this was more of a , money making scheme than an! earnest desire to suppress the sa-

i . . , . 1 1 .

ioous, nencu residents oi me rirsi Ward should refuse to be a party to it by refusing to sign the petition. A fair vote of the First Ward would show a majority in favor of licensing tho saloons. Wo hare had enough of the disgraceful quart joints, and as liquor will snroly bo sold here, far better that it should come under tho bans of

the law, aud license grunted only j to lit men. Let tho people view !

tins in a dispassiouatu way, ami not be led astray by fanaticism or a scheme to bleed the saloon keepers.

.... THE ....

Gorman Ellett, a respected and well known citizen of near Ellettsville, was killed on Saturday morning. He was a stone cuttor at Perry's quarry, and between (5 and 7 a. m. was on his way to work. He stopped at the Mattews quarry mill on an errand, and as he came out, the mill whistle was blowing, effectually drowning the noise of an approaching freight train ho stopped upon the track and soon after was struck by the locomotive and his body was litorally ground to pieces. Fourteen cars passed over the body. Ellett was about 50 years of age and the father of "three children.

The fight in the Republican State convention last week was between the candidates for Auditor, W. P. Hart and James Henry. Hart carried off the prize, although Henry had resigned a fat office to make his nomination moro sure.

- Oscar Cravens is home fi-fiu his tripjamong the mountains of Colorado, looking like a new man lie has literally renewed his youth.' j

No one appeared before the local -pension board for examination on Wednesday hist. Usually the number is from throe to nine persons: Edward MetTord is homo from Camp Alger, he having received an honorable discharge from Co. 11 owing to physical disability. -Mrs. Rose Mathers and daughter, MUs Hazel, of west Mh st., have gone to Martinsville, where they will spend semf time. Henry O. Axtell, who has been spending a few weeks with Dr. A. .1. Axtell and family, left on Saturday for his home in Clay Center, Kansas. Mrs. James Shinn and grandson, Fred. Shinn, have gone to Martinsville to visit the family of her brother, Henry Myers, and other relatives. Mrs. George Carothcrs and daughter Lora and Master Weir Marshdl went to Trinity Springs Saturday to visit Rev. and Mis. Isaac Carothcrs. Mrs. C. J. Head, who has been visiting her pareuts, Rev. and Mrs. T. J. N. Simmons and other relations, has returned to her heme in Indianapolis. Mrs. Ira Graves is visiting Miss Eva Hall at Stanford. Mrs. George Thornton was visiting her parents, Jtu. S. Williams and wife, hist week at Stinosville. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ren. C. Smith, returned on Friday to their homo in Kirksville, Mo., where Frank is a student in Osteopathy. Wm. N. Matthews of Bedford is generally recommended as a candidate for Senator on the Democratic ticket. He is a brother of Fred. Matthews of this city and like Fred., is dangerously popular.

UbhMeHbiApes

At a recent banquet in New York a witty parson gave the following toast "Ubi-Mei-Ibi-Apes." One said it meant "where there is honey there will be bees." Another said "where the carcass is, there will the vultures be." Another "where the turtles are, the club will be." Tho last said "where the cards are the chips will be." The parson discarded all and said it meant "where there is attraction, there will the admirers be." And we said to ourselves the secret is out, for people still continue to crowd our Wall Paper Department because genuine bargains continue every

day.
