Obituary.

Dr. Joseph P. Ilussell, one of the county's best known and gifted men, departed thi6 life Feb. 12, 1893, at his home, one-half mile south of Waveland. He was born in Bourbon count7, Ken tucky, July 23, 1815, and was married to Mary E. Penn Sept. 3, 1815. In the following month they moved to Wave land, Ind., where he resided until his death. Dr. Kussell was widely known and loved by all his acquaintances, always benevolent a .d forgiving, always had a smile and kind word for everyone, It is certain that he had not au enemy. He was a graduate of Lexington Medical College and was a successful practitioner for nearly half a cen tury. Many of his poems have appeared in Til". JOUHNAJJ as in other papers also. He exhibited great talent in this line also. He was a devoted chnrch worker, having united with the Christian church at an early age and for many years retained the eldership of the Waveland Chri:t an church. His death was very sudden. In connection with his dh ease, diabetes, for several weeks he had dropsy in his lower limbs but was able I to walk about and nothing serioiiB was expected. Tho dropsy ascended into his body and on reaching his heart resuited in almost instant death. He was quite lively and seemingly in better health than usual the evening of his death. At near 12 o'clock he awoke breathing with great difficulty and re quested the door to be opened. His breath became shorter and shorter and in a few miniites life was extinct. The funeral services were held in the Church in order thai every one who desired might attend. Rev. T. J. Shney officiated. The songs sting were his special favorites, '.'Where He leads I will follow," and "Going down the valley."

Dr. Russell was the oldest of seven children, three of whom survive him, Dr. John T. and Harvey Russell, and Mrs. Thos. Wherrit., all of Pleasant Hill, Mispouri. He leaves a wife and eight children, three sons and four daughters. John L., David C., Joseph W., Mrs. A. W. Groves, of Waynetown Mrs. Ira J.

MISS KROPT'S JOURNEY.

She Meets With a Glorious Reception In SanFrancisco. Miss Mary II. Kront on her way to the Hawaiian Island, was tendered a royal welcome in SanFrancisco and was pressed with attentions of all kinds during her stay there. In a lengthy article the SanFrancisco Examiner says:

MHry H. Kront, special representative of the Chicago Inter-Ocean and courier of Admiral Brown, of the United States navy, is in the city, and will leave Wednesday on the Australia for the Hawaiian Islands to correspond for the Inter-Ocean.

Miss Krout occupies much such a position in journalism in tho Mississippi valley as Annie Lowrie does on the Pacific. Coast. She has done inuoh special work that has attracted a great deal of attention. She has also written considerable verse that has been widely copied, among which is the poem, "Little Brown Hands."

In 188fLMiFB Krout was the special and confidential correspondent during the bitter political campaign in Indiana when Benjamin Harrison wns the Republican nominee for the Presidency. For a good while past she has been editor of the woman's department and also of the home department of the big Chicago paper. Besides doing newspaper work in the late island kingdom she will look up some matters of interest relative to the World's Fair, of which Bhe is one of the Board of Lady Managers, Mrs. Potter Palmer lias specially commissioned her in this. She would have been in Hawaii before but a severe sprain from a fall had prevented her, and she is even now only able to get around on crutches.

Miss Krout alluded to her newspaper work last night, saying she had begun writing in her Indiana home when a mere child. "People think it odd," said she "that I should have at any time entered a field so difficult, as they put it, as politics. However, I had something of a liking for it and ca I got interested in my work saw new beauties in it. When I had charge of the Indiana cam'paign I made my headquarters in Indianapolis, but traveled, notwithstanding, a great deal throughout the State. In ail I wrote 110 letters. It kept me busy but I enjoyed it."

Miss Krout is President of the Woman's National Press League, the only organization of bona fide newspaper women in existence. She is also Chairman of the Press Congress Auxiliary, to be held during the World's Fair in Chicago, in connection with the Press Congress of men during month of May.

Miss Krout is rather tall, with light hair and eyes, very bright and tremendnously energetio. She intends to remain some tin in California on her return, and will visit some of the summer resorts.,

Mtes Krout, while in SanFrancisco, met and became quite intimately acquainted with Volney Ashford, late commander of the Hawaiian armv, and a revolutionist of such force and character that he was arrested for high treason on two counts, and fled to America in July last as a political refuj.ee. "It is simply what I wus looking for," he said. "I saw that annexation wus inevitubie. Sooner or later it had to be and it will be better for the natives and all concerned. They will make more money and get along better in every way. "I don't believe, though, the Queen and the young lady over in Europe who would have been a Queen, ought to get a great big annuity from the United States. The crown lands are valuable and are paying well, and I suppose that the royal family ought to get something os a standoff for them, though not their full value by any means. "The crown lauds, though no such a fact, was brought out by the Washington dispatches to-day in referring to them, really amount to about one-third of all Hawaii. There is a very large amount of gold lund—how muoh would be hard to say—and there are millions of acres not worth a cent a million. However, from such lands as are leased I believe the receipts are $100,000 to S1")0,000,000 a year. i. TKliniTORIAI, GOVEBNS1ENT. "I don't like tho idea of a government something like that of the District of Columbia. It would be too crumped. I don't suppose we conlu get a Sti'e government, and I would, therefore, favor a territorial government, with a Governor appointed by the President and a delegate to Congress elected by the people. That would fit the case very well. "There is much interest in Hawaii in the East, and a good many are talking of going there. Should annexation be carried out, as it seems certain soon, land will go up, and I think there will be an unusual degree of prosperity."

Saurl.

I observed a locomotive in tho railroad yards one day. It was waiting In tho roundhouse, where the locomotives stay It was panting for the journey it was coaled and fully manned, TVnd it had a box the tlremau was filling full of sand. It appears that locomotives cannot alwoye get a grip On their slender iron pavement, 'eauso the wheels aro apt to slip. And when they rcaeh a slippery spot their tacticfe they command, And to get a grip upon tho vail they sprinkle it with sand. If your track is steep and hilly, and you have a heavy grude, Aad if thoso who've gone before you have the rails quite slippery made, If you ever reach tho summit of the upper tableland, You'll find you'll have to do it with a liberal use of sand.

If you strike some frigid weather and discover to your cost Thai you're liable to slip on a heavy coat of frost, Then some prompt, dccidcri action will be called into demand, And you'll slip away to tho bottom if you haven't any sand. You can get to any station that is on life's schedule seen If there's fire beneath the boiler of ambition's strong machine, And you'll roach a place called Flushtown at a rate of speed that's grand If for all the slippery placcs you've a good supply of sand.

Ritdy&rd Kipling's Vermont House.

)}, Kiri.ING'S HOME.

Rudyavd Kipling, born in England, lint taken to India very young and reared there, after rushing about tlio world a few years has located in Vermont—of all places! His wife is probably responsible for it. He married a sister of the lately deceased American novelist, Wolcolt Balestier. The Balestiers are a Vermont family. The Fiplings visited the ancestral home on their wedding tour and like it so well that they will reside there. Their new homo is along house with projecting roof that has a hint of thatch and a wide covered veranda built to catch every breeze. It does not look like the country house of an Englishman, and if possible less like the typical American, summer home of gingerbread carvings if cheap, and of fantastic towers if expensive. Still, that it is American and fitted to its surroundings is evident from the colonial character of much of the architectural detail.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 21.—A two hours' wrangle took place in the house Monday afternoon over the bill restoring the patronage to the governor. It was called up for engrossment and its opponents offered a number of amendments.
