A BATTLE ANNIVERSARY. The battle of Chickamnuga was fought on Saturday and Sunday. September 19 and 20.18C3. To-day, therefore, is the twenty-eighth anniversary of the first day of that bloody engagement. Among the Indiana regiments which were represented from what was known BS the old Tippecanoe district were the Tenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Fortieth, Seventy-second and Eighty-sixth. Many bravo boys from all these regiments offered up their lives 011 those two September days as a sacrifice on the altar of our country. The survivors of that gallant organization, the Tenth, during the past two days, have been holding their annual reunion in this city. Twenty-eight years have brought wonderful changes. Providence has been wonderfully kind to them in sparing so many of their lives. May his benedictions continue to rest with them and all the boys who so gallantly fought at the Kiver of leath twenty and eight years ago.

.Journul

suggest the

name of Hon. John }I. Butler as the proper person for the President to nom-! mate as the successor to Judge Cooler on the Inter-State Commerce Commission. It would rejoice the friends of Mr. Butler in this city to see him thus recognized, for as tho

Journal

says:

"As a lawyer ho ranks among the ablest in the West, and his professional experience has been largely of a kind to familiarize him with the class of questions that arise under the inter-state commerce law. He is particularly strong in constitutional and commercial law. All this and much more that might be said concerning Mr. Butler's qualifications for the position referred to is well known to the President, and yet it can do no harm to assure him that the liepublicans of this city und State would be glad to see the appointment conferred upon one whom professional qualifications, personal character and political services all unite in designating as an eminently suitable man for the place

THE letter of C.N. Williams which THE JOI'HNAIJ prints to-dnv deals in a few facts and figures which will not bo pleasant reading for the American free trader. The American workingman above everybody else has most excellent reasons for being a protectionist. Fancy our tailors working at half the wages they are now receiving. The very thought of it ought to make them all happy. And this would be just what they would be compelled to do if they had to enter into competition with the London tailors. Of course the McKinley tariff law is unpopular in England as it prevents its low juiced labor i-om competing with otir high priced labor.

AMERICA is the one country in which the average workingman may jiosBess a cozy homo of his own, in which he may live on tho best food, educate his children in the best schools, and lay aside a sum sufficient to support him in comfort in his old age. And this protective tariff framed by tho fathers of the Revolutionary period, revised and enlarged by Clay, Wobster, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Arthur Blaine and Harrison, is largely the cause of it.

EVERY Hepublicun in Crawford6ville Bhould feel it his bounden duty to attend tho meeting of the Bepnblican club next Tuesday evening and assist in effecting an organization for the overthrow of the hairy Philistines.

THE Terre Haute Express has donned new dress which greatly improves this otherwise excellent paper.

Thtt Power of Love.

The world is so changed slnco 1 know her! The sky is a tenderer blue, Tho wood thrush sings sweeter and truer-

Yea, all the wide world la uiudo new. Tho breezes that blow from tho clover And kiss all the (lowers on tho way, Aro whispering over and over

A name that is sweeter than they.

0 love, thou hast fettered and bound met 1 ue'or shall bo heart froo again, Yet life flows like music around mo,

Jjni Uow'ra are the links of my chain. —James Buckham. Tired Mother#. A little elbow leans upon your knee.

Your tired knee, that has so much to bear: A uhild's dear eye* are looking lovingly From underneath a thatch of shining hair: Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch

Of warm, moist Angers, folding yours so tight. Yon do not prize this blessing overmuch—

You almost are too tired to pray, tonight! But it i* blessedness! A year ago 1 did not see it as 1 do today. VYe aro so dull and thankless: and too slow

To vrttch the sunshine e'er It slips away. And now it seems surpassing straugo to mo. That whilo I woro tho badge of motherhood. 1 did not kiss more oft aud tenderly

Tho little child that brought ino only goodl And if some night when you sit down to rest. You miss this elbow from your tired knee This restless, curling bead fromolY your breast.

This lispiug tongue that chatters constantly If from your owu tho dimpled hnnd bad slipped.

Ami ne'er would nestle in your palm again: If the white feet into their grave had trippid. 1 could not blame you for your heartucho then! I wonder so that mothers ever fret

At little children clinging to their gown: Or that the footprints, when the days aro wet. Are ever black enough to make them l'rowul If 1 could find a little muddy boot.

Or cap, or Jacket, on my chamber floor: If 1 could kiss a rosy, restless foot, And hear its music in my home onco more:

If I could mend a broken cart today, Tomorrow make a kite to reach tho sky. There Is no woman in God's world could say

She was more blissfully content than But, ah! tho dainty pillow next my own Is never rumpled by shining head My singing birdling from its nest is flown—

The little boy 1 used to kiss is dead! —May Riley Smith.

HEAT RECORDS BROKEN IN MINNESOTA

The Thermometer Beaches 100 to 106 Degrees—Forest sod l'ralrlo Fires Sweep Over Hundred* of Acres.

UNPRECEDENTED TEMPERATURE. WASHINGTON, Sept 19.—The weather bureau says reports from Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Illinois and northwestern Iowa show the occurrence in those states during I the last two days of the highest temperature for the season of which the weather bureau has record.

The clear weather and high temperature in the corn region has been most favorable for the ripening of corn, and it is probable that at the close of this week at least eight-tenths of the corn crop will be safe from injury.

ST. P.U't., Minn., Sept. 1U.—The intense heat continues, thermometers on Friday registering from 100 to 100 at several Minnesota points. The heat is accompanied by a wind which in places amounts to a gale and prairie tires are reported from a dozen localities.

CHICAGO, Sept. in.—The highest point reached by the thermometer on Friday was SS degrees about the middle of tho afternoon.

HURON, S. D., Sept. 1!).—Intense lieat has been experienced here the last five days, being D'J degrees to 1)5 degrees in the shade. Several cases of prostration are reported from the country. It is almost impossible to keep thrashing gangs in the field, as men are unable to remain in the sun. Many farmers are running two sets of hands working in reliefs of three hours each day and night, the moon furnishing sufficient light to continue the work through the night. Two cases of prostration are likely to prove fatal.

Two Texas ladies incct. Saj-s number one: "Why, do you know what I heard about you?" "I've no idea.""I heard that when your husband was sick and not expected to live, you went to a picnic." "It's a vile slander it was only an excursion, and I didn't stay away more than a week or ten days after the funeral."—Texas Siftings.

Sioux FAI.T.S, S. D., Sept. 10.—At 2:30 Friday afternoon the thermometer registered 9S in the shade. O. Karleton was killed by a sunstroke.

DAVENPORT, la.. Sept. 10.—Eldridgo G. Allen, a well-known citizen, committed suicide by hanging Friday evening. During the afternoon for an hour in the excessive heat he worked on the roof of his house, and it is thought he was overcome by the effects of the sun.

EAU CI.AIRE. Wis., Sept 19.—The warm weather continues tmubated. For several days past the thermometer has reached over !ii, and Friday it registered 100 in the shade.

IllM.snono, 111., Sept. 10.—The continued hot weather in this section is causing a water famine, many wells and streams being dry now. Xo rain has fallen in six week, and for several days the thermometer has registered 100 in the shade.

SWL'I'T IIY I'UAIKIE FIRES.

ST. 1'AI I.. Minn.. Sept. in.—Prairie fires are reported from many points in the northwest. Hundreds of acres of Minnesota land in the neighborhood of AVillniar and Ueardsley were burned over Thursday and Friday. The wind has been so strong as to make it impossible to stay the flames. A great deal of bay in stack's has been destroyed and :i or 4 miles of the Great Northern railroad track have been burnt and made impassable.

In North Dakota the greatest damage has been done around Liboon. At least 50,000 bushels of-wheat have been destroyed there. The town of Buttzville, depot and elevators were saved after a hard fight At last reports the fire was still spreading north and east. For miles north of Medina, Stutsman county, the prairies are all on fire and the smoke is so dense that fighters of the flames cannot get near. In Eddy county the fire burned to death four horses hitched to a plow in a field before the animals could be saved: also 150 acres of wheat for the same farmer. Other small losses are reported there.

The Xortliern Pacific water tank was sent north on the Jamestown Northern track to protect the compa ny's property if necessary. No fire is reported east of the track now. Farmers generally have insuilicient fireguards aud great anxiety is felt on that account. Harney Burbridge, the stagedriver from Winona, N. D., says a prairie fire started at Winchester Thursday and burned west 1miles, and within (i miles of the Missouri river. The wind changed and drove the fire east 15 miles, through Williamsport, which is 1 miles southeast of ltismarck. Thursday night the entire neighborhood gathered and fought the fire out of Winona. The fire is still burning. It is feared Williamsport is burned, as tin lire was driven by a heavy wind and the town is poorly protected. The fact of there being no mail to Bismarck since Wednesday gives credence to the feat. A strip about Mi) miles wide and 40 long has been burned over. In norihern Minnesota and Wisconsin the fire is in the forests. The damage is not reported heavy except near Cumberland. Several buildings were burned in Perley.

CUMRKRI.ANI), Wis., Sept 10.—Forest fires are raging in tho country Immediately south and in plain sight of tho city, and a strong south wind prevails. Several farmhouses^ and barns, two woodyards near the Omaha track and a large amcuut of other properly have been burned. Men are now fighting the flames, and there is much apprehension in this city. The village of Perley was almost wiped out of existence by fire Thursday.

TOMAH, Wis., Sept 19.—A most disastrous fire is raging in the cranberry marshes between Valley Junction and Norway Ridge. The fire originated on the Mills marsh from an old forest fire that had been smoldering the last three weeks. Fanned by a brisk gale from the south it spread and was soon beyond control. All the buildings on Taylor's marsh, including warehouses filled with harvo?ted berries, were quickly reduced, the flames continuing in a Boutlieasterly direction, sweeping •verything In their path. Berry

pickers ran, leaving their tents and accoutrements to the pursuing flames. The railroad track was soon crossed, and still onward swept •the tire at a fearful rate. lletweon twenty-five and thirty squaro miles of marsh have been consumed, and tho fire shows no signs of abatement. What the loss will reach is impossible to estimate. Thousands of dollars' worth have already been sacrificed. Men from miles about are on tho grounds to fight the fire, but their efforts are unavailing. Rain is the only salvation, but at present there are no indications. Thousands of acres aro still before the fire, and unless some unforeseen event occurs they will furnish food for tiie hungry flames.

BEHRING SEA AGAIN.

The Moduft Vivendi Violated by the Amorlean Company—Sir Julian l'auucofote Eaters a Formal Complaint on the Part of Great lirltaln.

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.—Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British minister, has officially called the attention of t*io United States to a violation of tho modus 'vivetidi in effect between tho two countries as to the catch of seal in Beliring sea. By the agreement between the two countries the North American Commercial Company, which leases the seal islands from the United States, was restricted in tho catch of seal this year to 7,500 skins. It is alleged that tho Commercial company has exceeded this catch, thus violating the modus vivendi, and the Hritish government lias called the United States to account for it Special Agent Williams, of tho treasury department, has made a special report on this branch of tho seal question to the treasury department ami his report has ljecn forwarded to the state department with the request that its contents be laid before the British minister for transmission to the foreign office in London. The contents of

Agent Williams' report cannot be accurately ascertained, but it is understood that he makes the admission that the North American Commercial Company has exceeded the limit of cateh—7,500 skins—fixed by the modus vivendi. The matter is regarded here as quite important and may lead to the modus vivendi being declared inoperative after this date.

NELSON TROTS IN 2:10.

TUu Grciit Stulllou llruttkft Ills llecord nt Grand Knplds. GKAND R.U'IDS, Mich., Sept. 19.—At the West Michigan races Friday the stallion Nelson not only broke his own record but proved himself the peer of Allertou. At :i o'clock he was driven out by his owner, who held the lines, and after a few wanning-up dashes got away with tiie rumier Siubad following a few years behind. It was a beautiful race aud scarcely a whisper was heard among the 5,000 spectators. The quarters were made in 3-j, 1:04 andl:.'i7, ami Nelson was just turning into tin homestretch when the sulky hub hit the fence and the stallion went oil' liis feet. The finish was in U:l-1. Ail hour later Nelson was brought out for a second effort, and this time lie made the circuit and came under the wire without a skip, finishing in 'J:10 fiat. making the quarters in !:ur and 1 3. The air was filled with handkerchiefs waved by the ladies and hats thrown up by the men and everybody yelled for Nelson. The owner was borne to the judges' stand and presented with a S5U0 solid silver service by

Don. J. Leathers in behalf of tho association and at night was given a reception. THIRTY-FIVE CENTS AN ACRE, The United State* Huys Land of the Klckupuo Imlluns at That 1'rlce.

INDIANAPOMS, Ind., Sept 19.—A N^ws special from Wabash, Ind., says: "Cherokee Indian Commissioner Warren G. Say re has returned from Washington and reports that the commission had completed the purchase of 182,000 acres of land held by the Kickapoos in Indian territory for thirty-five cents an acre. The Indians held no protectory interest in the land, but simply released their claim in consideration of the payment of SOS,500 by the govern ment. Commissioner Sayrc "says that there is enough work ahead to keep the commission employed for nearly two years, but it is doubtful if con gress will make another appropriation."'
