BLOODY MUEDEE.

South Washington Street The Scene of An Early Morning Tragedy. At 4 o'clock this morning the wilil clouds scurried across the sky in which the waning moon hung like nn antiquated half cheese. The inhabitants of south Washington street "lay wrapt in the second slumber" dreaming the dreams of childhood and second childhood. Suddenly tho silent neighborhood was aroused to wakefulness and action by the piercing shrieks of a lady. There was a lively scrambling from bods, a hurried putting oa of clothes, and a frantic rushiiig out of doors by the now wildly excited neighbors. Tho cries were finally located in the yard of Mrs. Joseph McMuken and when JaB. Evnns, Sam Symmes, John Galey, Jim Galey and other excited denizens arrived upon tho scene of action, they found Mrs. McMuken armed with a largo club standing at tho foot of nn apple tree in tho branches of which perched a large fat coon over which she was valiantly standing guard. Help having arrived tho situation was explained in a fow words. Mrs. McMakin had been awakened half an hour before by tho affrighted squawks of a hen which had been tied to a stako in tho back yard with her ten small chicks the evening before. Going out of doors a scone of destruction mot Mrs. McMakin's eyes. At one fell swoop that wicked coon had killed every chick and was now after their pretty dam which had broken the string which bound her to the stake and was frantically rushing about the yard followed by his coonship. Mrs. McMaken at once armed herself with a olub and rushed to the succor of her pet. The coon thought discretion the better part of valor and started to retreat but was closely pressed by his avenging adversary. He dodged behind a small outbuilding and played an exciting game of "bo-peep" for a few minutes. He was finally routed out und took refuge under

Evans' woodhouse and then in an apple tree. Mrs. McMakin did not go after him there but proceeded to rouse tho neighbors. When they arrived a campaign was mapped out and John Galey obtained a double-barreled shot gun. He and Mr. Evans obtained the honor of firing it and after two shots the coon was finally hit and fell dead upon tho ground. It was a fat old coon and is probably a neighbor's pet, but he was a destructive fellow tor all that. Besides Mrs.McMakins chickens,ho had killed 17 for Bobert Larsh on Tuesday night and 8 for Sam Symmes a few evenings before. Others had also suffered, so no tears were wasted over the remains. Tho campaign over, tho regiment disbanded and the soldiers returned to their several homes to wash the stains of slaughter from their hands.

A Tree With a History.

Tho Indinnapolis Journal to-day states that Harmon Hiatt, of this city, has contributed to the lot of trees recently planted in the State House grounds a historical weeping willow, which ho calls the Martha Washington. It was grown from a slip cut from a tree grown by Alexandor Pope, the English poet. During tho lattor's visit to tho Holy Land ho obtained a slip of one of the willows growing on tho banks of the Euphrates, near Babylon, and made famous by biblical reference. These willows were those on which the Israelites hung their harps during their captivity in Babylon, refusing to make music because they were captives in a strnnge land. Pope planted tho slip at his homo in England, whore it. thrivod and where Martha Washington obtained a twig from it. She brought the twig to America and planted it at her home at Arlington Heights. Mr. Hiatt's son, who lives at New Harmony, cut tho slip just sent the State from tho tree at Arlington Heights, and it is thus only a third removed from tho one on tho Euphrates, hundreds of years old. Custodian Griffith has planted it in the southeast corner of the grounds near the Hendricks monument, and if it grows as rapidly as tho donor predicts it will soon develop from a two-foot twig to a weeping willow of goodly di­

mensions.

ARBOR DAY,

Prof. Wellington Gives tho School Children A Surprise and a Vacation. This afternoon tho public school children have been observing Arbor l)av according to its spirit and laying plans for a fuller and more liberal observance of the day next spring—a lack of funds and tho very rapid coming of the time for tho safe planting of trees this season making anything more than a general commemoration of tho day quito impracticable now. After fitting exorcises in their rooms for the bust hours of this afternoon, each class, led by its teacher, then assembled in front of the central front of tho Central Schx] Building and formed around the graduating class of 1891 as a center. This class occupied tho stone stops to tho front entrance, and were supported by the class of 1892. A staff with a placard attached was placed in front of each class showing the year of its graduation as well as its rallying point in tho circle of the parade. When the twenty-six rooms, forming fourteen classes, ranging in years from 1891 to 1904, were in posi tion, tho Star Spangled Banner was sung in chorus, and thetlag as described in that magnifient song was gradually raised, till at the right moment it swept forth clear and distinct on the breezo.

At tho close of the singing the Superintendent surprised the children by announcing that, as something was the mattor with tho almanac this year, bringing all their holidays on Sundays or Saturdays, and so cheating them out of something very dear to a small school boy and school girl, tho school trustees had kindly grnnted them to-morrow as a holiday, and that the teachers were going to take their place and go to the Superintendent. Ho also suggested to tho glad children that if they were not back oarly Monday morning roiidy to report that they had put in the day given well, and liad a good time, they might look for a further celebration of the planting of that lively, dancing tree known as tho birch. The pupils then opened ranks and each class beginning with tho graduating class marched between those remaining to the gate to their well earned holiday.

Seventeen years ugo this month, tho State of Nebraska, in her necessity, originated and celebrated what is now generally known as Arbor Day. This original Tree Planting Day occurred^ in that State on tho 22nd of April, and this date haB therefore becomo fixed for its obsorvanco. Like Forefathers' Day it has become historic. By 1889 thirty four States and two Territories had adopted this beautiful and useful custom. In that year New York added another to tho list, and even went beyond her sister States—sotting npart the first Friday after tho first day of

May in each year, not only for Arbor Day but also for a public school holiday for all time, and her State Superintendent of Public Instruction annually issues a circular for its proper observance. At its first commemoration in New York George William Curtis, editor of Harper's Magazine, dolivored an eloquent address appropriate to the day.

Below is a list of the States observing tho custom. Those with star leave the fixing of tho day in each year to tho Governor of that State:

Alabama, Feb. 22 Colorado* Connecticut* April or May Florida, Feburary generally Illinois*, Spring Indinna, April and November Iowa, April or May Kansas* Kentucky* Maryland* April Massachusetts, last Saturday in April Michigan*: Minresota*, April Missouri, first F.:dav after first Tuesday in April Nebraska, April22 Nevada* April New Hampshire* New Jersey*. April New York, 1st Friday after May 1 Ohio*, April Oregon, second Friday in April Pennsylvania. April and October Rhode Island*: South Dakota* Tennessee, Novemlier Texas, February Vermont* West Virginia, first Friday in Wisconsin, April 30.

By a sort of general concurrence in this work tho 30tli of April is largely observed as Arbor Day. The custom is also becoming truly patriotic as well as absolutely necessary. In 1880, our forest products, reached the immense sum of 8800,000,000 or twice that of the wheat product, ten times that of the gold and silver, and forty times that of our iron ore. This vast drain upon our forests is telling fearfully upon every great interest in our land'. For mercantile reasons alone, if for no other ovory lover of his country begins to soo tho need of pro­

ducing

that which heretofore was found

ready to hand in our virgin forest. And thoughtfully men and woman, knowing that whatever is to appear in a nation's life,
