Wants a Divorce.

Clara E. Wasson comes before the court and insists that as a husband Wm. A. Wasson is a seal brown fizzle. They were married in the halcyon days of 1SS5 along about fodder time and lived together until last month, when William left to look for other support. One child, Fannie, aged S, was born to them and Clara wants the care ami custody of Fannie. Her complaint makes William out as a shakysort of a customer. He is charged with having an abnormal desire and tendency for the destruction of good, red liquor and also to be given all 1 sorts of games of chance from craps to baccarat. It is noi slated in the complaint whether William plays poker with a '"dog" or not but he probably does. He is charged with being liberal in his flow of profanity and furniture toward the plaintiff but greatly given to harboring his affections and cash. lie has offteu kicked, slapped and cussed the plaintiff and a short time ago he chopped the front door down with the avowed purpose of killing her with an ax.

On tli« Stone File.

Ilig-li Privates Scott and McGaugliey of Kelsey's commonweal army are now acting as ornaments of the Crawforilsville stone pile. For them "the war drum throbs no longer anil the battle Hag is furled." It appears that they forsook the ranks of the righteous yesterday during the army's progress through our streets and sought the cool and shady precincts of a lager bc-er saloon, llow they obtained the necessary installment of the cool foaming beverage is a mystery dark and deep. They obtained it, however, and while laboring under the butt end of a heavy jag were carried to jail.

HIMI a Free Fight.

Word comes in from the camp of Heneral Kelsey that the commonwealers had a free fight early this morning over matters of internal import. Several cracked heads and black eyes resulted. .Sheriff Davis spent the greater part of the morning in hustling these undesirable cattle out of the county. Quite a number of desertions occurred here and the "army" is evidently going to pieces.

Special toTlio Journal. ISDIANAI'OI.IS, July 12.—W. B.Tliomas. a prominent citizen of Anderson, was murdered this morning by Winnie Smith, a well known man of the town. The two became involved in a quarrel over somo trivial affair at Brighton Beach, a resort on the outskirts of the city. Smith stabbed Thomas in the neck and almost severed his head from the body. Smith then jumped into a buggy with a woman and went driving. He is still at this pastime but is certain to be caught. Smith is a spendthrift. His mother married Dr. Ward, one of the most prominent physicians of the town. JThe murdered man is one of the first citizens of Anderson and recently married a Muncie woman.

A Controversy.

Mr. l'atrick Nunan can trace his family tree back to a club carried many years of the Emerald resident of Crawfordsville, his ancestors having left old Ireland to escape the landlord system of that beauteous gem of the sea. Patrick, however, has found that the landlord prevails even in the land of the free. Here, however, it is a case of landlady. He is a tenant of the widow Ragan, and her frequent requests for the "rint" have made life a burden for the virtuous l'at her best bow at the Nunan residence

MONSTER POPULATION OF ANTS

1'hey Tem'h Lemons In Indutttry and Ferftct Government. There are more ants to the squave mile in Florida than in any other country in the world, says a writer in the Savannah Kews. There are ants whi«h will measure more than half an inch in length, and then there are ants so small that they can scarcely be seen to move with the unaided eye. There are red ants and black ants and troublesome ants. But. as bad as tliey are, I have never heard of them eating out the seat of a man's trousers, as a missionary, Rev. Mr. Wilson, onee told the writer he saw the army ants do In India while the man was sitting on the earth for a few minutes beside him.

But the Florida ants will take out the lettuce and other minute seeds from the soil in which they are planted, and actually destroy the bed. They will suck the life out of aores of young cucumbers and melon plants, uproot strawberry plants or cover the buds with earth to such an extent as to kill them. They will get into pie, pickle, sau«e, sirup, sugar, on meat, in hash, will riddle a cake or fill a loaf of brker's bread till it is worthless.

All remedies failing, I took to baiting them near their nests with slices of meat, bones, apple and pear parings, und when I had from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand out turned a kettle of boiling water on them. I have killed during the. last week[ovcr one million in the space of a quarter-acre lot, and I have almost whipped them out. I had to do this to secure any lettuce plants, and many observant farmers complain of seedsmen when they should attribute their troubles to insects.

It is very curious and instructive to see how promptly the ants which escape the scalding go to work taking out the dead, and, after pulling them outside first, then go to excavating again and rebuilding their cells and runways. This being done very quickly the next work on hand is the laying in of a supply of food by hauling the dead bodies of the hot-water victims into their storehouses.

Dr. Ristine, while driving along the Terre Haute road several miles south of the city yesterday, was attracted by the peculiar actions of a half grown chicken in the weeds in a fence corner. The bird seemed anxious to move but was somehow held back from the execution of its evident desire. It flopped its wings and cried quite piteously but was unable to proceed. Moved partially by curiosity and partially by sympathy Dr. Ristine alighted and proceeded to the spot. He stooped over the chicken to learn the cause of the trouble and then sprang several feet back into the road. He saw that the chicken was in the power of a large and ugly snake which had seized it by the foot and had nearly a whole leg in its mouth. Armed with a stout club ,, ... In which to redeem a misspent life, the Doctor despatched the reptile and

Mr. Youatt was informed that they would travel with a soldier on their back fifteen or sixteen miles in the day, at the rate of six miles pn hour.

A STRANGE ISLAND.

An Alaekan Land with ltd Qneer Badly Mixed Population.

and

The strange island of the Prince of Wales, on which Mr. Millar has elected to make his home, lies at the mouth of Dixon's entrance and only about three miles from the northern line of British Columbia. The island is about two hundred miles long and from ten to thirty or forty miles wide. It is singular in its make-up, having a fringe of lowland all around. Toward the center are ridges of mountains, some of them reaching lofty heights and covered with perpetual snow. There is magnificent timber in great quantities. It consists of spruce, fir, hemlock, splendid yellow cedar, and a very superior red cedar.

The Island has never been surveyed nor explored, and some day it must prove a most inviting field for exploration. The Indians, of whom there are probably some threo thousand, are scattered around the island shores in little villages, usually of about one hundred inhabitants each. They consist of many different tribes, most of these seeming to be Hydalis. Theiv are between three hundred and four hundred of them at Hunter's bay, and they arc quite industrious as fishermen and salters of the salmon. The Ilydah Indians came up from the Queen Charlotte islands many years age and made conquest, driving the native tribe out. The former are very superior Indians. They are intelligent, and pick up anything very qulcklj'. It was thought they originally came from Mexico, as, they much resemble the Mexican race. Some of them have as fine faces as any white man, and as full and fine beards.

These lamps spread a white radiance through the moisture-laden air abovo and around them, and as they sputter and flicker, the nebulte seen over the roofs and awnings appear like the reflection of a great fire, except that the light is white instead of red and yellow. When forms are blurred in the mist, and distanoe Is obliterated, this playing and flashing of pallid lights is magical and uncanny as well as beautiful.

THE GOLDEN CAVES.

{Ci/nlinued From Sivund Page.)

as ho had recovered from his surprise. "The same question to ye, and what is it about a cave of gold und dividing up?"

Here was help. If the muu belonged to a party the gold might yet be secured. He was a hard looking customer —one who would not scruple at anything. "Sit down," said Taylor as he made himself comfortable. "I came here with a party camped two or three miles below. They came to prospect for gold, but I came to look for a cave already filled with it. They sort o' suspected me, and because I wouldn't divide they drove me out of camp this morning." "Whar did ye hear of that cave?" "From an old hunter named Saunders." "Who used to chum with a pard named Bridgers?" "Exactly." "Waal, I'm yere fur the same purpose. What I got was secondhand from old Bridgers, but it looks straight 'nuff. There's four of us in the party and we've got ridin horses and a team." "That's the checker!" exclaimed Taylor as he brought his fist down on the grass. "I want to join you." "And ye know just whar that cave is?" "1 believe I can walk to it in the night." "Suppose we should hev a row with the people camped below?" "I'll do my share of shooting. There's two or three of 'em who will get a bullet the first time I have a chance to cover 'em." "Come on. I guess the boys will take ye in under the sarcumstances. Haven't seen nuthin of a gal wanderin around yere, I suppose?" "No." "Waal, saddle up."

An hour later Taylor was in the camp of the outlaws. When the men learned that he had been driven out of the camp below and that he had received minute particulars regarding the locality of the cave of gold they extended him a warm welcome. "Whar do ye make it out to be?" asked Bob, the leader. "Five miles the other side of the wagon train." "No!" "That's what the hunter said—five miles to the left of the peak." "And this isn't the canyon?" "It can't be. It's below that camp. I'll stake my life on it." "Then, doggone it, we've bin wrong all the time. We located this as the place. If it's below the camp then we don't keer a button whether they move or not, though they'll likely be going up the valley today. We'd better hitch up and be eoiug."

CHAPTER XVIII.

'So you'ee got gold in the wagont" The next three days were full of strange events. The party which set out from the wagon train to hunt for the canyon were certain that the one near which the renegades had encamped was the place they were looking for.

Taylor and one of the renegades prospected down the valley and found a canyon which Taylor was sure contained the cave and its treasure.

Both parties were working in the dark, but the wagomnen had the advantage. They knew the renegades for what they were, and also discovered that Taylor had joined them. Somo of the men were for attacking them and wiping out the whole five to revenge the murder of the emigrant and his wife, but this the captain would not approve. He would lose a man or two at least, even if he won a great victory, and he did not forget that the Indians might make their presence known at any moment.

At the second visit paid the canyon above the renegades the wagomnen penetrated far enough to be certain that this was the one described by Saunders. They would have investigated still closer but for the approach of a storm, which made them anxious to reach the shelter of camp.

Strangely enough, the other party was just as firmly convinced that the other canyon was the right one, and on the forenoon of the third day it was decided that they should move. Bob had told a big story to get the other party off up the valley, and as they had not moved the renegades did not know what to make of t. He could not see why they should question his veracity, but Taylor made the situation plain when he said: "Harkins has no doubt told them of the cave, and they are making a still hunt for it. Depend upon it, he has given the secret away, and they'll divide up the stuff if they find it."

It was decided to hitch up and move down the valley at once. It would not do for Taylor to be seen, and he was to hide away in the wagon. Bob cooked op what he thought a very plausible yarn, and abontnoon Joe, who happened to be looking np the valley, saw the wagon a mile away. The rescued girl was at once hidden from sight and the seven men in the camp quietly made ready to meet an attack.

The wagon came on, three of the renegades riding their horses and the fourth driving, while the horses of the latter and the one belonging to Taylor followed the wagon. The vehicle could have passed the camp by fifty yards, but it drove up and halted within ten, and Bob called out: "Hello! to all of ye again, I reckoned ye'd be up at the diggings by this time, but ye don't seem to keer for gold. I como out to guide these boys, who hev made their pile and aro now headed for Brule. Didn't see anything of the lost gal yet?"

The captain being absent with a party, Joe took it upon himself to answer. "We shall probably move this afternoon. The wagons had to be overhauled and fixed. So you've got gold in the wagon?" "Gold 'nuff to buy half of Dakota, my friend. Sorry we can't let ye see it, but it's kivered up fur the journey. Meet any luck yet?" "Only so BO. Where did you get that bay horse?"

"I was jist goln to ask ye if ye had ever seen him afore. We met a chaiTpChilblains, Corns, named Taylor a couple of days ago,! who was headed for the mines. He allowed he didn't need his hoss any I01&? er, and I bought the. beast (or fifty dol lars." "Yes, that la Taylor's bono, ang?l waa wondering how you 0awe by

"Seemed to be as pert as a cat. So ye are going away today?" -'A "That's what we expect." "Waal, I'm goin on with the boys fur about twenty mile and I may see you as I cum back. Good luck and goodby."

The little party moved off down the valley, every renegade chuckling with satisfaction, and they were soon out of sight. Half an hour later the captain and his party returned and dinner was quickly dispatched and the teams harnessed for a move. By three o'clock a new camp had been formed in the mouth of the canyon. The wagons were run in out of sight, a wall of rock was piled up as a screen and a defense, and in a little cave were found water and grass for the horses for the time being.

It was well that they had moved with promptness and made things secure. Before sunset the rain descended in such torrents that the main valley was almost a river. A good sized stream swept down the bed of the canyon and out into the valley, and within an hour the footprints of the horses and the tracks of the wagons had been obliterated. The storm lasted half the night, causing great discomfort in the camp, but the next day was not three hours old when everybody was made to realize that the storm was his salvation. Some of the men were still eating their breakfast when Joe, who had been down to the mouth of the canyon for a look around, returned and said: "Injuns till you can't rest!" "Where? Where?" called half a dozen men. "In the valley. A band of at least fifty has just gone tearing by."

The fire was burning clear and making 110

smoke, although it had been built

against the wall of the canyon, in a place where the smoke would go filtering up among the trees. Every man was ordered down to the wall, and they reached it iu time to see the last of the Indian band disappear up the valley. "What's your opinion?" asked the captain of Joe as they stood together. "They aro hunting for us. They've got word that we are in this valley and they are trying to locate ns. They probably expected to find us at the other camp." "Well, I hope they'll keep right on as they are going." "But they won't, captain. They knowthat we left that camp about noon yesterday. They picked up a dozen proofs of it. They believe we went straight up the valley. They'll figure that we couldn't have gone over ten or twelve miles when the storm broke. Five miles above this they will be looking for our trail. If they don't find it they will ride on five uiiU's further. Then they will discover that we did not go that way at all." "And then wlntt':" "Tlicy will come back looking into all the hiding places, and we shall have a fight with odds of five to one." "I'm afraid so," said the captain, "and this time we cannot look for a rescue by the soldiers. The party which passed down yesterday has no doubt been butchered.'" "1 think the reds struck into the valley by a pass farther up," answered Joe. "There would have been fighting, and we should have heard the reports of rifles. We must get ready."

The mouth of the canyon was about one hundred feet wide. Seventy-five feet up it narrowed to fifty feet and made a bend. The wagons were in this bend and a wall had already been thrown across a portion of the fifty feet. Every man now went to work to extend this wall to a distance Of thirty-five feet- and to mako it look like a landslide from the bank. Dirt was thrown in among the rocks, and bushes pulled up and set among them, and two or three of the men brought armfuls of vines and creepers and trailed them over the wall.

It would not do to close up the entire width of the canyon, as the Indians probably knew of its existence. The wall made a strong barricade, and as the men surveyed it from the other side they pronounced the deception perfect.

The test was at hand. They were yet at work when the advance of the Indian party was seen returning down the valley. They knew that if the wagon had come up the valley they had dodged in somewhere. "Every man to cover and Ho low until I give tho word," ordered the captain, and in a moment the gloomy mouth of the canyon was as quiet as a graveyard.
