NORMAL ITEMS.

A song service for chapel this morning. Harvey, lets the infinitive severely alone, according to Jackson.

Several visitors were present at chapel exercises this morning. The enrollment will probably reach one hundred by next Monday.

Listen to the new normal yell. To us it seems rather ab-normal. Every member of the school was interested in yesterday's

JOIXRNAI..

United we stand, divided we fall— Holbrook, Hobson and VanScoyoe. The Misses Mahan will visit home folks near Battle Ground over Sunday.

Stilwell's penmanship classes are trying to do some special work this week.

The enrollment is now eighty-five. Miss Funk, of Attica, is the latest addition.

Quite a number of the students contemplate an outing at the Shades in the near future.

The class in psychology are highly pleased by the presentation of method by Prof. McBeth.

The dissecting class in physiology will have abundant opportunity for practical work soon. "Is the poor thing dead?" asked a young lady after viewing systemic circulation in the frogs capillaries this morning.

The first half of the term closes with a prospect of more earnest work on the part of both teachers and students for the remaining three weeks.

A very modest young man in the physiology class wanted to know why the frog he was examining had such short pants. It was probably on account of a lack of oxygen.

Buggy UpMt.

As B. R. Russell and family were returning from the residence ef Capt. H. H. Talbot last night, their buggy ran into a wagon loaded with logs near the Dry Bianch bridge on Wabash avenue. They were all thrown out to one side of the road and came near going down the embankment. Their

Kg}' was considerably broken up, but they escaped with slight injuries. The wagon had been left in the road by some teamster, and this same circumstance has caused two accidents within two weeks, with two deaths resulting therefrom. It should be stopped or prosecution will follow.

An Afinured Fart.

The proposed celebration of the K. of P. lodges in this county, has taken definite shape, and it will take place the latter part of September. It will be a monster picnic to be held at the fair grounds, and the entire county wiU be interested. Further action will be taken, and announcements made later on.

Death of an Old Resident.

Mrs. Nancy Hall, who has lived near Waynetown for many years, died la. night at 6:30 o'clock. She was quite an old lady and was honored and respected by all who knew her. The funeral will be to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Ills Lessons.

It is still true that bodily exercise of some kinds Is not highly profitable. But things otherwise unprofitable may be mildly amusing. "I am trying to learn to ride a bicycle," remarked an elderly bachelor who walked somewhat stiffly, to a friend whom he encountered on the street. "I'm just going home from ray lesson now. I've had more tumbles than usual this afternoon, and that's saying a good deal." "IIow long are your lessons?" inquired the friend. "Half an hour," responded the bicyclist with a rueful countenance "twenty-five minutes on the floor and five in the air is my usual proportion!"

Vssdalls Special to the Trrre llsute Races, On August 14, 15, 16 and 17 a special train will leave at 8:20 a. m. for Terre Haute and returning leave Terre Haute at 7 p. m., for the accommodation of people who wish to attend the great races. Round trip tickets will be sold Aug. 13 to 18 inclusive, all good to return including Aug. 20, at one fare. 81.60, for the round trip.

The editor of

returned

yesterday evening at S:lo from a three days' jaunt up the Vandalia. The occasion of this dissipation was the summer meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association the itinerary of which embraced one day at Maxinkuckee. one day at South Bend and one day at Benton Harbor and St. Joseph. The Vandalia had extended the courtesies of the road by placing a special car at the disposal of the Association which was occupied by the members and their families during the trip. Twenty-four hours was spent at Maxinkuckee. There the party met the genial Dan McDonald, of the Plymouth Democrat, who for the day threw aside his politices. Ue said: "If the editors had stayed longer I should be pleased to pilot them alosg the historic shores, and explained to them the tragic death of the Indian chief Au-be-nau-be, by the tomahawk of his-oldest son how the good chief, Nes-wau-ge, whose reservation skirted the eastern shore, stood between the belligerent tribe and the early settlers, and related stories of the noted Quashqua, and Pash-po-ho and many other Indians, and repeated for their edifica-

When "30" was reached C. B. Landis, President of the Association, arose and in a most felicitous way thanked the citizens on behalf of the visitors for the most hospitable reception at their hands. After dinner an hour was spent most pleasantly in making new acquaintances. The editor of this paper met an old friend in the person Hon. John B. Stoll, the editor of the South Bend Time*, with whom he fought the tariff war twenty years ago. Three electric cars were in waiting at 10 o'clock and the visitors were conveyed down town and assigned to the several hotels for the night.

Wednesday morning the visitors

boarded the electric cars bound for

Mishawaka, a beautiful manufacturing town, four miles up the St. Joseph river. Carriages were in waiting and and after a drive about the city visiting the numerous industrial plants, a halt was made at the spacious and beautiful home of Ed Jernegan, the editor of the Mishawaka Hi\terjrini\

Although -the editorial party was loth to leave yet their time was up at 6:30, when they started for St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. 39 miles to the northwest of South Bend. As at the latter place a committee of the citizens of the Twin Cities, headed, of course, by the newspaper men, ferried the excursionists over the river to the Hotel St. Joseph, a large and spacious hostelry especially adapted to the comfort of summer visitors. The evening was delightfully whiled away by a reception and ball given by the citizens in honor of the visitors. Thursday morning carriages were again in waiting and the forenoon was spent in driving over the two beautiful little cities and were shown the great secret of the wealth of that part of the State —the acres and acres of fruit of every variety and kind. St. Joseph and Benton Harbor are emphatically in the fruit belt and shipments arc being made from those two points now at the rate of 820,000 a day. The carriage ride was followed by a boat ride of two hours on lake Michigan on the steamer "Chicora," the compliments of the Morton Transportation Company. Messrs. Gilson, Reed and Merchant, the newspaper men of the

Twin Cities, spared uo labor or pains to make the trip one to be pleasantly remembered. Altogether it was a most delightful outing and the association gave expression of their sentiments in a series of resolutions which were most enthusiastically adopted at the dinuer tables of the Hotel St. Joseph at the wind up of the three days'jaunt.

Then tlement of that part of Indiana which it seems that Griest took hold of was made near this charming sheet of water, not omitting a few "fish stories" authenticated by affidavits prepared by Jim McSlieehy, editor of the Logansport Chronicle, the only editor in the state rich enough to spend his summers at this healthful resort in the delightful occupation of ikilce furnientc As it was the party was given a ride around the lake in the steamers, "Peerless" and the "Au-be-nau-be."

At 5:30 the pilgrims left for South Bend and were met at the depot by a committee of distinguished citizens and escorted to the palatial residence of Mrs. Alfred B. Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Miller, of the Tribune of that city, where a reception and dinner was tendered. The dinner was served by a caterer and was one of "magnificent proportions." The menu card was so unique that it is here given in full and was throouglily enjoyed and appreciated by the profession:

Karl Woodward.

The case against Frank Griest, charged with assaulting Earl Woodward on Tuesday evening was up before the Mayor this morning. A. 11. Anderson represented Mr. Griest and the prosecutor held down the case for the State. The witnesses mainly were lads, and on cross-examination great effort was made to get them confused. From what was gleaned it seemed that Woodward and "Spider" Sehultz had had some scuffle and Sehultz was chased downstairs by Woodward, when Mr. Griest requested them to remain quiet. Then Sehultz came back upstairs, followed shortly by Woodward, who discovered that his hat was missing, and at once began to search Sehultz. In the scuffle some noise was made, and Griest told them to keep still. Woodward asked who he was talking to, and upon being informed that he was the person, he told Griest

Woodward, who claims that Griest also struck him, and after a short tussle Woodward was put out. Griest claims that he used all due caution in discharging his duty, but Woodward thought he had been assaulted: and so they told their tales to the Mayor. The Mayor found Mr. Griest guilty, and assessed a fine of $1 with costs. The case may be appealed.

The Lottery Ticket Fiend.

Several persons in this city have received packages of fifty lottery tickets from Kansas City, Kansas., claiming that it was a new branch of the Louisiana State Lottery. Accompaningothe tickets was a "confidential" letter, assuring the person to whom it was addressed that the company had decided to establish a "permanent agency" in this locality. The writer "appreciated" the fact that the people of this locality had ceased to buy tickets because no prize of any value had been drawn here. He was assured that one number in every eighteen won. The prize ticket enclosed, the companj' "hoped," would draw some large prize. The scheme was very evident. The person addressed was to sell all the tickets, amounting to $100, and keep onefourth of that amount for selling them the "prize ticket" was surely a dummy and would not draw anything, but was merely to induce the person addressed to attempt the sale of the tickets.

Refreshments in the way of ice bead over heels to the ground. Linde-

cream, cake and lemonade were served by Mr. and Mrs. Jernegan in a most lavish and handsome style. During the diseussion of these most refreshing viands a male quartette of most excellent and well cultivated voices rendered some soul cheering songs. The visitors then returned to South Bend and after dinner they were again ass'gned carriages -and the afternoon was spent until train time in seeing what the greatest manufacturing town in the State contains. They were shown the largest plow factory in the world, the largest wagon and carriage factory on the earth, the largest toy factory on two continen s, the largest clover liuller factory on the globe, the largest sewing machine case factory on this round ball, besides factories and factories and factories without end. South Bend is a city of 30,000 inhabitants, and has all the concomitants of a city of the first class. It has two able and well conducted newspapers, the Trtlmnc, which is Republican, and the Time*, Democratic. In short South Bend is an ideal town, located in an ideal county and in an ideal State. To say all that is desirable to say would require columns.

Royal Entertainers.

Capt. H. 11. Talbot and wife entertained a large company last evening with a harvest home and lawn social. The house and grounds were brilliantly illuminated and decorated for the occasion. There were twenty couples present, who are amply able to testify to the ability of Mr. and Mrs. Talbot in being royal entertainers. The feature of the evening was the ininature World's Fair, with tents, the midway, public comfort and hygia water. The tents on midway were ."for gents only." '^2

THE SAND HILLS.

"Here, now, trader, aigy, aisy. Quioksands I've seen along the sayshore, an np to me halfways I've been in wan, wid a double an twist In the rope to pull me out, bnt a suckin sand In the open plain—aw, trader, aw, the like that, no, niver a bit, awl" So said Maoavoy, the giant, when the thing was discussed in his presence. "Well, I tell yon It's true, and they're not three miles from Port O'Glory. The company's men don't talk about it—what's the use? Travelers are few that way, and you can't get the Indians within miles of them. Pretty Pierre knows all about them, better than any one else, almost. He'll stand by me in it—eh, Pierre?" Pierre too'c no notioe and was silent for a time, Intent on his cigarette, and in the pause Mowley, the trapper, said: 'Pierre's gone back on you, trader. Perhaps yon haven't paid him for the last lie. I go one better, you stand by me—my treat —that's the game!" "Aw, the like o' that," added Mac avoy reproachfully. "Aw, yer tongue to the roof o' your mouth, Mowley 1 Liars all men may be, but that's wid wimmin or landlords. But, Pierre, off another man's bat like that—aw, Mowley, fill your mouth wid the bowl o' yer pipe I"

Pierre no-.v looked up at the three men, rolling another cigarette as he did so, but he seemed to be thinking of a distant matter. Meeting the three pairs of eyes fixed on liirn, his own held them for a moment musingly. Then he lit his cigarette, and half reclining on the bench where he sat he began to speak, talking into the fire, as it were "I was at Guidon Hill, at the company's post there. It .was'the fall of ths

fear, Whan you reel nrat mere Doming so good as life and the air drinks like wine. You think that sounds like a woman or a priest? Mais, not The seasons are "range. In the spring I am laay and sad in the fall I am gay I am for the big things to da This matter yfmt La the fall. I felt that I must move. Yet what to do? There was the thing. Oards? Of oourse. But that's only for times, not for all seasons. So I was like a wild dog on a ohain. I had a good horse, Tophet, black as a coal, all raw bone* and joint and a reaoh like a moose. His legs worked like piston rods. But, as I said, I did not know where to 0 or what to da So we used to sit at be post loafing, In the daytime watohing the plains, all panting for travelers, like a yountf bride waiting her husband for the first time."

Macavoy regarded Pierre with rich delight He had an unotuous spirit, and his heart was soft for women, so soft that he never had one on his oansolenoo, though he had brassed gay smiles off the Tips of many with his ow»i But that was an amiable weakness in a strong man. "Aw, Pierre," he said ooaxingly, "kape It down, aisy, aisyi me heart's goln like a triphammer at thought av it Aw, vis aw, yis, Pierre." "Well, It was like that to me—all tun and a sweet sting in the air, at night to

Bit

and tell tales and such

things, and perhaps a little brown brandy, a look at the stars, a half hour with the o&ttle—the same old game. Of oourse there was the wife of Hilton, the faotor—fine, always fine to see, but deaf and dumb. We were good friends, Ida and me. I had a hand In her wedding. Holy, I knew her when she was a little girl I We oould talk together by signs. She was a good woman—*he had never guessed at evil. She was quiok, too, like a flash, to read and understand without words. A faoe was a book to her. "Very good! One afternoon we were all standing outside the post when we saw some one ride over the Lang Divide. It was good for the eyes, I cannot tell quite how. But horse and rider were so sharp and clear out against the sky that they looked very large and peoulior —there was something in the air to magnify. They paused for a moment on the top of the divide, and it seemed like a messenger out of the strange oountry at the farthest north, the place of legends. But of course it was only a traveler like ourselves, for in a half hour she was with us. "Yes, it was a girl dressed as a man. She did not try to hide it. She had dressed so for easa She would ^uake a man's heart leap in his month—if he was like Macavoy or the pious Mowley there."

Pierre's last three words had a touch of Irony, for he knew that the trapper had a precious tongue for Scripture when a missionary passed that way and a bad name with women to give it point Mowley smiled sourly, but Maoavoy laughed outright and smacked his lips on his pipe stem luxuriously. "Aw, now, Pierre—all me little failiu's—aw!" he said. Pierre swung round on the bench, leaning upon the other elbow, and cherishing his cigarette presently continued: "She had come far and was tired to death, so stiff that she oould hardly get from her horse, and the horse, too, was feady to drop. Handsome enough she looked, for all that, in man's olothes and a peaked cap, with a pistol in her belt. She wasn't big built—just a feathery kind of sapling—but she was set fair on her legs like a man, and a hand that wag as good as I have seen, so strong and fine, and like silk and iron with a horse. Well, what was the trouble, for 1 saw that there was trouble? Her eyes had a hunted look, and her nose breathed like a deer's in the ohase. All at once, when she saw Hilton's wife, a cry oame from her, and she reaohed out her hands. "What would women of that sort do? They were both of a kind. They got Into eaoh other's arms. After that there was nothing for us men but to wait. All women are the same, and Hilton's wife was like the rest She must get the seoret first then the men should know. We had to wait an hour. Then Hilton's wife beckoned to us. We went

Inside. The girl was asleep. There was something in the touoh of Hilton's wife like sleep itself, like musia It was her voioe, that touoh. She oould not speak with her tongue, but her hauds and face were language and music. Bien, there was the girl asleep, all oloar of dust and stain, and that fine hand. It lay loose on her breast, so quiet, so quiet Enfin, the real story, for how she lay there does not matter, but still it was good to see when wo knew the story."

The trapper was laughing silently to himself to hear Pierre in nis romantic mood. A woman's hand—it was the game for a boy, not an adventurer, for the trapper's only creed was that women were like deer—spoils for the hunter. Pierre saw it, but no was above petty anger. He merely saldi "If a man have an eye to see behind the faoe, he understands the foolish laugh of a man or the hand of a good woman. Thatlsmuoh. So Hilton's wife told us all. She had ridi'en 800 miles from the southwest and was making for Fort Micah, 60 miles farther north. For what? She had loved a man bgalnst the will of her people. There had been a feud, and Garrison—that was the lover's name—was the last on his own side. There was trouble at a Hudson Bay oompany's post, and Garrison shot a half breed. Men say he was right to shoot him, for a woman's name must be safe up here. Besides the half breed drew first. Well, Garrison was tried and must go to jail for a year. At the end of that time ne would be free. The girl, Janie, knew the day. Word had oome to her. She made everything ready. She knew her brothers were watohing—her three brothers and two other men who had tried to get her love. She knew also that the five would carry on the feud against the one man. So one night she took the best horse on the ranch and started away toward Fort Mioah. "Alors, yon know how she got there, after two days' hard riding, enough to kill a man, and over 60 yet to do. She was sure her brothers were on her track. But if she could get to Fort Mioah and bo married to Garrison before they camo sho wanted no more. There were only two horses of uso at Hilton's post then —all the rest were away or not fit for hard travel. There was my Tophet and a lean chestnut with a long propelling gait and not an ounce of loose skin on him. There was but one way—the girl must get there. Allons, what is the good? What is life without those things? The girl loves the man. Sho must have him in spite of all. There was only Hilton and his wife and me at the post, and Hilton was lame from a fall, and oiu arm in a sling. If tlio brothers followed, well, Hilton could not interfere, ho was a company's man, but for myself, as I said, I was hungry for adventure. I had an ache in my blood for something. I was tingling to my toes my heart was thumping in my throat. All the cords of my legs were straightening, like I was in the saddle

Pierre sat up. It seemed absurd far him to speak as one who could be hot and shivering with excitemfiKk for his movements were always qt^jc and precise as a hammer. But in lj^yea there

was a furnace burning, and his small, iron hand caught the air with a snap. Macavoy had seen Pierre when dangers crowded around them both, and he knew that the little man was worth three of himself, in spite of his own great height. For the others, they did not know, and if they had lived with Pierre all their lives they would never have understood him. "Aw, Pierre!" said Macavoy admiringly. "Aw, the aohe in yer blood— that's it! Aw, yis, yis, an yer thighs all bendln like wire, an the prairie beyant, an the lady there asleep wid the hand fallin soft where the heart beats up like the swell of a tide! Aw, yis, the like o' that—swate, swate, an you wid the ache in yer blood, an the long ohestirat pawin the ground—aw, yis!"

Pierre nodded at Maoavoy pleasantly, for after his fashion he oared for the giant, and a little man loves the admiration of a large man, as Pierre himself had said more than once. He knew man's vanity and his own weaknesses. But he turned his looks on the trapper now, for it was his way to oonquer at the points of great disadvantage, not by many wonders showing, but by a deep persistence and a singular personal foroe. "She slept for three hours. I got the two horses saddled. Who oould tell but she might need help? I had nothing to do. I knew the shortest way to Fort Micali, every foot, and then it is good to be ready for all things. I told Hilton's wife what I had done. She was glad. She made a gesture at me as to a brother and then began to put things in a bag for us to carry. She had settled all how it was co be. She had told the girl. You see, a man maybe—what is it they call me?—a plunderer, and yet a woman will trust him, oomme cal" "Aw, yis, aw, yis, Pierre, but she knew yer hand an yer tongue niver wint ag'in a woman, Pierre. Kaw, niver a wan—aw, swate she was, wid a heart—a heart, Hilton's wife! Aw, yis!"

Pierre waved Maoavoy into silenoe. "The girl waked after three hours, with a start Her hand oaught at her heart 'Ohl' she said, still staring at us. 'I thought that they had cornel' A little after she and Hilton's wife went into another room. All at once there was a sound of horses without and then a knock at the door, and four men entered. They were the girl's hunters. It was hard to tell what to do all in a minute, but I saw at once the best thing was to aot for all and to get all the men Inside the house. So I whispered to Hilton and then pretended that I was a

S'eat

man in the company. I ordered llton to have the horses cared for, and not giving the men time to speak I retohed out the old brandy, wondering what could be dona There was no sound from the other room, though I thought I heard a door open once. Hilton played the game well and showed nothing when I ordered him about and lied with me when I said no girl had

oome, laughing when they told why they were after hor. More than one did not believe at first but, pshaw I what have I been doing all my life to let suoh fellows doubt me? So the end of it was that I got them all inside the house. There was one thing—their horses were all fresh, as Hilton whispered to me. They had only ridden them a few miles. They had stolen or bought them at a ranch to the west of us. I could not make up my mind what to do. But it was clear I must keep them quiet till lomethlng shaped. "They wore all drinking brandy when Hilton's wife entered the room. Her face was, mon Dieu, so innocent, so childlike! She stared at the men, and then I told them she was deaf and dumb, and I told her why they had come. Voila, it was beautiful—like nothing you ever saw! She shook her head so innocently and then told them like a child that thoy were wiokod to chase a girl. I could have kissed her feet Tonnere, how she fooled them! She said would tliey not search the house? She said all through me, on her fingers and by signs. And I told them at once. 13ut she told mo something elso—that the girl had slipped out as the last man came in, had mounted the chestnut and would wait for mo by the spring, a quarter of a mile away. There was the danger that some one of the men knew the fingor language, so she toliVrfcU this thing in signs mixed up wifn other sentences. "Good! There was now but one thing to do—for me to get away. So I said, laoghiuK. to one of the men. 'Oome and

"Of course you will understand how I did it. I dapped a hand on his mouth, put a pistol at his head, gagged and tied him. Then I got my Tophet, and away I went to the spring. The girl was waiting.

There was a long pause, painful to bear. The trader sat with eyes fixed humbly as a dog's on Pierre. At last Maoavoy said: "She kissed ye, Pierre —aw, vis, she did that! Jist betune the •yes. Do yes iver see her now, Pi err#?"

But Pierre, though looking at him, made no answer.—Gilbert Parxer.

tol, and then we got away on a fine moonlit trail. We had not gone a mile when I heard a faint yell far behind. My game had been found out There was nothing to do but to ride for it now, and to fight, if necessary. But fighting was not good, for I might be killed, and then the girl would be caught just the same. We rode on—suoh a ride—the horses neok and neck, their feet pounding the prairie like piston rods,rftwbone to rawbone, a dingdong gait. I knew they were after us, though I saw them but once on the crest of a divide, about three miles behind. Hour after hour like that, with 10 minutes' rest and now and then at a spring, or to stretch our legs. We hardly spoke to each other, but God of love, my heart was warm to this girl, who had ridden 150 miles in 24 hours. Just before dawn, when I was beginning to think that we should easily win the race if the girl could but holdout, if it did not kill her, the chestnut stuck a leg into the orack of the prairie, and horse and girl were on the ground together. She could Boaroely move, she was so weak, and her face was like death. I put a pistol to the ohestnut's head and ended it. At that the girl stooped and kissed the poor beast's neck, but spoke nothing. As I helped her on my Tophet I put my lips to the sleeve of her dress. Mother of God, what could a man do, she was so noble! "Dawn was just breaking oozy and gray at the swell of the prairie over the Jumping Sand hills. They lay quiet and shining in the green brown plain, but I know that beneath there was a ohurn whioh .could set those swells of sand in motion and make deadly sport of an army. Who can tell what it is? A flood under the surface, a tidal river—what? No man knows. But they are sea monsters on the land. Every morning at. sunrise they begin to eddy and roll, and no man over saw a stranger sight. Bien, I looked back. There wore lour horsemen comiug on about three miles away. What was there to do? Tho girl and myself on my tired horse were too much. They saw also and hurried on. There came to mo a great idea. I must reaoh and oross the Jumping Sand hills before sunrise. It was all a deadly ohance. "When we got to the edge of the sand, they were almost a mile behind. I was all sick to my teeth as my poor Tophet stepped into the sand. God, how I watched the dawn! Slow, slow we toiled over that velvet powder. As we reaohed the farther side I felt that it was beginning to move. The sun was showing like tho lid of an eye along the plain. I looked back. All four horsemen were in the sand, plunging on toward us. By the time we touohed the brown green prairie on the farther side the sand was rolling behind us. The girl had not looked back. She seemed too dazed. I jumped from the horse and told her that she must push on alone to tho fort that Tophet could not carry both that I should be in 110 danger. •She looked at me, 1 eiinnot tell how, then stopped nml kissed me between the eyes. 1 have never forgotten. I struck Tophet, and she was gone to her happiness, for she reached the lort and her lover's arms. "But I stood looking back upon the Jumping Sand hills. So was there ever a sight, like that—those hills gone like a smelting floor, tho sunrise spotting it with rose and yellow and three horses and their riders fighting what cannot be fought. What could I do? Thoy would have got the girl if 1 had not led them across, and they would have killed me if thoy could. Only one cried out, and then but once, in a long shriek. But after all three were quiet as they fought until they were gone where no man oould see, where none cries out so we can hear."
