Death of John E. Coons.
John R. Coons, an old and well-known citizen of Crawfordsville, died at his residence on south Washington street on Thursday morning. He came here over a half century ago. When he was in middle life he followed for a number of years the occupation of school teacher apd was among the best of his day. Among his scholars, now matured and gray headed men, were James Watson, Alex. Mnhorney, Jap Porter and many others. Mr. Coons held various township oflices, and waB also mayor of this city for four years. He had been a sufferer for many long years from white swelling, resulting from an accident when a boy. Blnod poisoning set in some days ago and from the effect or which he died. His first marriage was to Nancy Thompson, who died April 10, 1858. To them were born thre* children, Albert, (ieorge and Jennie. March 29, 1850, he was married to
Mrs. N. C. Graham, who survives him. To them were born six children, three of whom are now living. The funeral occured on Friday morning, the remains being interred in Oak Hill cemetery.
Tried to Kill the Sherifi'.
A prisoner confined in the county jail al Danville, claiming to be William Wilson, of Chicago, made a desperate attempt to escape late Monday evening. When Sheriff Chellimts went to lock the jail'or the night lie opened the outer solid iron door and was immediately fired upon by Wilson, the ball grazing his head
and lodging in the wall near by. Wilson l.y means of a key lie had made, hail unlocked the I inner door and was ready to tlee as soon as had killed or wouiidnd the
After the Eight of Way.
John McAlHVey, superintendent of the natural gas line, arrived in the city Tuesday morning from Indianapolis, aud in company with W. F. £harpe, proceeded along the surveyed line for the purpose of purchasing the right of way. While gono the surveyors will lay out a line to Darlington and a four inch pipe will tie run into that town at the company's risk. It is thought but little trouble will be experienced in purchasing the right of way for the line, although some opstreperous fanners are reported. The work of laying the mains will begin in a few days.
Will End in a Squabble.
yomelinie since the town council of Ladoga parsed an ordinauce to the ellect that the saloon keepers there were to remove all screens from their rooms that the public might have the pleasure of looking on those who imbibed. The ordinance went into effect last Monday but the saloonists refused to conmly and will fight it to the bitter end. To remove the screens from saloons in a town the size of Ladoga means suicide to their business aud as such they recognize it. A suit in court to test the validity of the ordianco will without doubt be the outcome.

EVOLUTION OF UMBRELLAS.
Itiiin Cloak* of All Kinds and Nations and lit* Oevlee for the Korean Swell* Most people "know enough to come in out of the rain." It is this class that are. compelled to be out in the pelting, driving storm or hot sun that we are going to take a peep at.
As for indoor folks, they are merely under an umbrella of a larger growth, like the Samoan house, which is not so much for living- in as for shelter. African houses are even more like huge umbrellas. often clustered together like a lot of haystacks. Our Indian wig-wains are temporary umbrellas, ready to be struck and carried away on *lurt notice.
Savages are not afraid of pneumonia. Rain and wet do not incommode them, or at least they have a faculty of being able to "grin and bear it," so that no one knows what they think about the weather. When it rains all the animal and insect world finds some place to hide or hold on till it is over. The martins and swallows, though, seem to delight in the atrial bath of a thunder storm. and »-oar and contest with the elements. eks. frogs and small boys also einoy the rain. 'I here i-, a dispute between the sun and rain as to which made umbrellas neec.-v-.ary. It ts difficult. to decide, but it seems probable that the first timbrel-
sunshades. while all rain coats.
oiled and rubber coats, are to the credit of the storm. In countries where very little clot-.iinir is worn rain does not make much difference, but the sun is a power. hy shouldn't the palin leaf be the first sunshade, with its ribs and handle
an.
the Aiims of Japan often make tempornry sunshades of gigantic duck leaves, I which are siiinetiines six feet ill diameter and eiirht feet high, large enough for an account of ulliver. '1 he umbrella, has a very grout antiquity. The word itself means a "little shadow," showing that, it was named for its protection from the sun iu this ease. Horace says: "Among-the military standards the suu lieholds all lOgyptian canopy.'' On ^oins and in the rock carvings of the ancients the. umbrella often shows its familiar form, but it comes down to us by its conneetion with royalty, ami is not the barrel I ribbed gingham of the masses, nor can we tell whether the people with umbrella- furnished the same amusement for the. comic players as they do nowadavs.
The Anglo-Sn\ons used umbrellas. One would think if there is a climate in the world that wuntil compel the invention it is found iu ihc "right light little isle."
All this goes to prove that .lonas Ilamvav did not invent the umbrella, 'this great traveler is said to have laid himself under the displeasure of certain Londoners bv the effeminate use. of an umbrella to keep off the sun. This was, perhaps, an affectation in a country where the sun is so rarely seen. .Jonas Hamvay, at least, saw the value of the eastern sunshade, and soon it became the fashion to carry this article of up--parel. There must be a great difference. between the umbrella of the eighteenth century and the modern steel ribbed, silk covered, slender article which it is regarded as a misfortune to get wet.
The desideratum at present is a portable umbrella. There is a fortune for the mail who invents a really good umbrella, which can be stowed in a valise or trunk. There is an unpatented Korean umbrella that may fill the bill. When it begins to rain the picturesque and fit ate lj' Korean swell reaches into his sleeve and produces a folded oiled paper affair, resembling a fan. This is npread and set over the hat like an extinguisher, and is kept in place by two strings held under the chin. It. is not very large, but, anything that will cover a Korean hat will keep tin' rain from a Korean.
Japanese umbrellas arc triumphs of skill and bajuboo. One must not also forget the artist who lays on the impossible decorations in gaudy colors.
The Siamese emperor is not in good form with an umbrella of less than six or seven stories, covered with tinsel. The Chinese emperor sets the fashion in multiple sunshades, and he would be a reckless Celestial who would copy the imperial umbrella.":
Rain cloaks are of many different kinds. The iM"-.ii,:i,!s, Japanese and Chinese have hit r«-a thatched coats, made of palm o:i. straw, grass or rushes, neatly :'asLo::i on a network so as to turn rain. '1 heso coats are light and will do what, is expected of tJiem, though a mail clothed in one of I them looks like a walking haystack, und might be pursued by a hungry cow.
Oiled paper rain cov.s are also popular, as wrll as rain roof so think our almond-eyed Aat.ipor. ins. The Monjyol of the, Steppes folds irge sheet, of felt around his person i1 lie has occasion tq venture from his blackened and smoky moundlike tent.
The Cskimo makes a waterproof coat out of transparent fish skins neatly sewed together and decorated with edgings of feathers and fur. This eoat is not made especially for rain, but to keep the Ka.vaeker dry in his venture* snine out-to-sea journeys in his skin boat. The thick reindeer and sealskin clothing made by the. Eskimo women t,nrns rain for a time. AVhen the fur gets filled with snow the garments are beaten with an ivory knife, used as a whisk broom.

AN ELEPHANT'S SAGACITY.
Tills Tiisknr Know tho Din'erciicn Ilctweon Nineteen iinil Twenty. In 1S5: a regiment was marching' from l'eshawur to Kopulvie, and waa accompanied by a train of elephants. It was the duty of the mahout iu cliargo of each elephant to prepare twenty chupatties. or flat cakes made of coarse flour, for his charge. When the twenty chupatties were ready, they were placed before the elephant, who, during the process of counting, never attempt* cd to touch one of them until tho full number was completed. On one occasion one of the elephants had seized tho opportunity of his mahout's attention being distracted for a moment to steal and swallow one of the. chupatties. When the mahout, having finished tha preparation, began to count them out, lie, of course, discovered the theft and presented his charge with nineteen In place of the usual number.
The elephant instantly appreciated the fact of there being one less than ha had a right to expect, and refused to touch them, expressing his indignation by loud trumpeting. This brought tha conclnctor of the elephant line on tha scene. Having heard the explanation of the mahout, the conductor decided' that the mahout was in fault for not keeping a better lookout, and ordered him to provide the twentieth cake at his own cost When this was prepared and added to tho pile, tho elephant at once accepted and ato them.
It is incredible that an elephant, sagacious as he is, should bo able to count Up to twenty. At the same time it 01 difficult to find any other explanation,. e^Ceot one which would imply tho possession of a still higher degree of intel* ligence, namely, tne consciousness o{ his own delinquency, aud an expecta.tation (justified by the result) of what would follow when he called the conductor's attention by trumpeting.—Do» truit Free Press. l.ille I a iliti-Kl.ir.
