WABASIl VULLKUU LIFE.

Fred Lamb went to Boone, la., today to spend several weeks. Breen, of the Purdue team, stole a chicken while here and will carry it about with the team for a mascot.

Lafayette Jouriuil: There has been much talk of enmity between Wabash and Purdue for which there is no cause. A kindly feeling should exist and probably will now that the question of supremacy is definitely settled. The trip of the players and supporters was pleasant and satisfactory. Wabash has good material and will, with hard training, make a better fight against the black and gold. Any time they can do this they will be welcome to Lafayette and will be received with profound .regard, for such is the sentimentthe Star City bears for any tei that can down Captain Fulkerson's team.

Waterliury's Wine.

Charley Watcrbury won a quart buttie of champagne on an election bet and the same was turned over to him Thursday. He left the bottle in the Robbins House while he drove in the counlry and that is whereohe made a great big mistake. A few friends witnessed the leaving and cast longingglances at the precious packagc. When Charles had faded from sight they leisurely arose and adjourned to a rear room, where the cork from the bottle was carefully drawn and its delicious contents consumed with many a smack the lips and rub of the abdomen, lien the really mean part of the business was planned and executed. The bottle was filled with a delicious concoction of hydrant water, soda and alcohol and carefully corked again, the seal being replaced most artistically. On Friday evening Mr. Waterbury had company for dinner. It was a sumptuous spread and as a fitting climax he brought forth his bottle of Mumm's Extra Dry with the selfsatisfied smile of the Republican Congressman from Texas. The wire was cut and the cork, inspired by half a tea cup full of soda, went against the ceiling like a foot ball player against the opposition line. Slowly and with becoming dignity did Charley fill the shining cut glass receptacles and pass them to his geests. "See how it sparkles," he hummed in merry glee, as he held his own glass up before the chandelier. "Ah! here is joy and solace that ripened on the vine-clad hills of sunny France." Without more ado he tossed off the contents and rolled his eyes in ecstasy. Gould Rhoads did likewise and smacking his lips with fervor exclaimed: "Why, old Mumm fairly outdid himself on this bottle. Its the finest champagne ever tasted and I've cracked the neck of many a bottle in my career." All present voted the wine as superfine and agreed that Claret, Port, Hock, Sherry and Rhine wine were sitnply not in it with champagne. And the next day it snowed!

Somebody told Charley of the joke esterday and he is now looking for the man who borrowed soda of the Robbins House cook.

Across the l*otom»c.

Across the Potomas" with its wealth of special scenery and meclianeal effects, is the attraction announced at Music Hall for November 10. The battle scene of "Across the Potomac" was rehearsed under the supervision of Major Wallace Randolph of the United States army, and has been pronounced by veterans of the late war to be a thoroughly realistic stage representation of modern warfare. Since the first performance the play has undergone numerous changes at the hands of the authors, and has been materially improved. The central idea, as expressed in the severing of the young Northern lover from his Southern sweetheart, has been emphasized and greater interest created in their fate as. the play progresses, and the romantic interest is correspondingly enhanced. Prominence is given in the last act to the surrender of General

Lee and the overthrow of the Confederacy, the Union fo^ccs taking possession of the Confederate fortifications and bringing forward the uNational Hag.

V-.'V Indiana Cropi. The November returns to the department of agriculture of the rates of yield per acre make the average of orn 19.7, which is about IK bushels above the yield indicated by the October condition. This is the lowest rates of yield that has occurred sin ISS1, when it stood at 18.6 .bushels per acre. Last year the yield was 22.3 bushels upon a much larger harvested acreage. The yield for ,the present year, which must be regarded as a preliminary and not a final estimate, is less than the average for the foui years, 1890 to 1S93 by 3.7 bushels qual ity 79.4. The result is in harmony with reported indication during the growing season.

The Dam Frozen.

The dam froze over last night and the ice was three-quarters of an inch thijk this morning. This is over two weeks earlier than ice was ever formed clear across the creek within the recollection of Martin & Son. They preparing to cut an immense amount of ice this season as their customers last summer were supplied with ice cut three years ago and their supply is getting somewhat low.

THE CLOUD WAS ALIVE.

MorlDf

Vast Swarm of Winged Ants Swiftly ID the Sky. "While driving home from Oneida the other day," said a farmer who lives in the extreme western part of the county to a Utlca Observer man, "I saw a big cloud moving due north over the fields and woods. There wasn't any wind blowing the air was still and I was unable to account for the presonce of a big dark cloud speeding away across the heavens on such a still, bright dayv "At first I thought it was a cloud of smoke from the railroads, but then when I first saw it the oloud was in such a position that It could not possibly have come from the West Shore railroad, and even if it had there never was a cloud of smoke that hung so closely together and so long as that did. As I sat in my wagon it appeared to me to be a mile long and perhaps half a mile wide, but of course that part of it was all speculation, for no one oan make a very accurate guess of the size of a cloud. The body in the sky was as dark as the smoke from a locomotive and looked to be quite dense. It traveled quicker than ar.y cloud ever scudded before a thunder shower in th^a seotion. When it first attracted attention it was high up in the heavens, but it rose and fell several times, like the soaring of a bird. Once it was but a few feet above the top of some woods. Again it took an upward course and oontinued onward in an unswerving north course. It was about five o'clock that the cloud passed. "That evening I noticed a number of reddish-winged wood ants about on the grass and in the roads. It ocourred to me that the strange cloud In motion might have been a oloud of these flying ants. The more

I pondered over the

phenomenon the more I became convinced that it was a cloud of ants that passed over the country. Such a story was too big for mo to tell, although there was proof enough of the fact for my mind, so I held my peace and simply spoke to my family of the strange cloud. Others had seen it, too, 3ret none suspected what it was and we finally dismissed it. "A day or two afterward I was in Constableville and there the farmers told me they had seen the same thing. There was no doubt about it, either, for a number of them watched the oloud and at that place it passed so low that they caught the Insects in their hands. They were the same flying ants. We compared notes and found that it required just an hour for the swarm to move from the place where they were first seen to ConBtableville. The distance in a straight line is thirty-one miles. They were in Oneida county at five o'clock and at just six o'clock they were seen in the north. The ants continued northward and nobody has told me where they stopped."

AN AWFUL BATTLE.

So«nes on th* Chen-Yuen During the Yalu River Fight. A British naval officer attached to the Chinese naval squadron which was engaged in the fight off the mouth of the Yalu river haa written a letter to the London Graphic in which he gives additional details of the fighting, and says: "On board the warship Chen-Yuen the fighting was awful. The decks and the space around the guns were strewn with human fragments. Three of five men working on a four-ton gun were blown up by a shell from the Japanese warship Naniwa. The fourth gunner was shot while trying to escape from the turret and the fifth stuck to his post. "This man fired three rounds at the Naniwa, one shell entering the engine' room of the Japanese ship and another smashing her forebridge. The

Naniwa then hauled off. The Chinese admiral rewarded the surviving gunner with a present of one thousand taels. "A shell glanced from the steel deck of the Chen-Yuen and went through her tower, shattering everything therein. A lieutenant who was in the act of speaking through the tube leading to the engine room was blown into atoms and his head was left hanging to the speaking pipes, lluge fragments of armor and the teak bacldiig thereof were carried on board by the shot, crushing a large number of sailors into a shapeless mass. "A European engineer who was in the act of groping about in an endeavor to repair a steampipe was drenched from head to foot with the blood of an assistant who was disemboweled by his Bide by a shot from the enemy's ship. "Then Chen-Yuen arrived at Wei-Hai-Wei the day after the fight in the same condition in which she left the battle. Nc attempt has been made to wash the blood from her or remove the corpses which strewed her decks."

The writer expresses the opinion that if the European rulers could have seen the decks of the Chen-Y uen they would have foresworn war henceforth and forever.

An Unpopular Woman.

Ex-Empress Eugenie has never been popular in England. She is generally disliked, partly because she is thought to be a fanatical Roman Catholic and partly because she is believed to have driven her son, the prince imperial, to self-banishment and deatli by her harsh treatment of him. This charge against her is distinctly made in Comte d'llerrison's book, "The Prince Imperial. Napoleon IV.," just published in Paris. Ho says: "After his father's death all persons that had been devoted to the emperor and tho young prince wcrt dismissed Empress Eugenie re fused to no'Uce that her son was longer a child and treated him accord lngly. The stipend allowed him wa ridiculously small, so he was forced borrow constantly from his compan Ions. His letters had to pass through the mother's and the governor's hands before they were delivered with sneer Ing remarks in short, the young mar was humiliated by his mother and her servants constantly and in every way possible."
