CLARK'S HILL.
Atook at Another Tippecanoe Coun-
ty Business Towns.
We have been talking for soiuo months of thriving towns with their thriving churches, schools, lodges, industries and business men, and this week pay our respects to ClarW's Hill, located west of Colfax 5 miles, and 011 the line of the Big 4 railroad, in Tippecanoe county. The REVIEW man has let alone its historical remark ibiiities and dwells exclusively upon its*
KNTKK PRISES.
Jas. P. Caspy was born in Clark's Hill in 1874. Five months ago he purchased the Alfred Parker bakery and lunch room located near the Clover Leaf and Big 4 junction, and opposite the Ben Hur house. Since assuming this charge Mr. Casey has remodeled and added to the business iB a vigorous manner. A feature of his business is the excellency ol' his baking, and he supplies the town with bread, cakes and pies.
Dr. W. R. Taylor graduated from the Ohio medical college in 1889, and has practiced here 6ince. To us he said "I don't need any introduction to the people of thin community," and we have come to the same conclusion,
J. W. Milligan has been a resident in Clark's Hill for 40 years. From 1869 to 1875 he clerked in the stores. In February, 1875, he started in business for himself on a small scale, handling drugs, hardware, queensware, etc. To-day he owns one ot the largest Btocks of goods in Lauraaiie township, occupying 3,780 feet of floor space. His stock consists of grocerieo, notions, furniture, queens" ware, etc. l'-'
J. A. Williams has resided here for 20 years, during which time he has done blucksmithihg and wagon repair work. Mr. Williams is the oldest man 111 this line of business in the township. He has worked at his trade for :I5 years. He is an active member of the United Brethern church and *n industrious man.
A. L. Bowman has been a resident of Clark's 1111 for three yeais. Up to laBt July he followed day laboring. He now conducts an oiderly quart shop, and disposes of the popular Bohrer beer. Mr. Bowman is one of the few liquor dealers who are in reality tit subjects to hold license.
The Temple of Health, foimerly the Tippecanoe Sanitarium, is five years old. It is now only three months since Mr. Win. E. Wainscott converted it imo a hotel. No 81 or $2 a day house furnishes better accommodations or more healthy food or drink. The water used for the table and baths is of the highest mineral teBt and widely known. The REVIEW man learned from Mrs. Susan Miller, of Battle Ground, who came here almost helpless three months ago that she is wonderfully benefitted after a suffering of eight years of rheumatism,
M. P. Coyner purchased a tile and brick manutactury here four years ago, and has operated the same every sum mer since. Previous to his entering business he was a prosperous farmer of Montgomery and Tippecanoe counties. As good tile is produced here us is made anywhere, and the eama can be said of the brick. The factory was estoblished twenty years ago and is well known.
J. E, Bates started a tin shop here last April. He came from Auburn, Ind. Mr. Bates has bad 13 years experience at the trade, and is 1 to any average in tin rooting, galvanized iron work and all kinds of tin work. Mr. Bates is a native of Ohio and a member of the K. O. TM. His is the only shop here and in addition he carries a good line of cook and heating stoves and utensils.
The Ben Hur House is ten years old and handy in its location to the railroad junction. Mr. A. B. Storms knows how to run a hotel and the fact is evinced by his continual crowded house. $1.25 a day are the Ben Hur rates and the ac. coniModations are well aud fully worth the price. (J.

Dr. J. D. Ellis graduated from Rush Medical College in 1885. and took a post graduate course in 1892. He attended the Indiana Medical College in 1875 and 76 and from that date to the present time he has been a careful student. After graduating he practiced
out of Tippecanoe county, and has proven a success at this calling. W. M. Bryant owns two shops in one— a wagon repair sbop aud a blacksmith shop. Mr. Bryant has had seven years' experience in wagon and carriage repair work and his brother, John A., has had nine years" experience. as a black smith. All work is wirrauted strictly first class.

The building known as 'South Hall" among the groupe of those enclosed within the campus of Wabash college, is
one of the oldest in Crawfordsvillc, al-
though its original form nas been some-,
what modified wiihm the past twenty
years. This building is probably fully sixty years old, and was erected about the year 1837 or '38. In its infancy it was considered a wonderfully fine and imposing structure, and wa6 for a time one of the attractions of the town to which visiting strangers were always taken to inspect. Quite a number of laboring men were employed upon 't during the year of its construction.
Among them was one David WleCabe. |s

cured from Sugar Creek at a point about 300 yards south of the present iron bridge, which spans that stream in the northwest part of the city, and a hall' dozen trips were made almost every day by him to the locality. Lhte one summer afternoon the team of McOabe's was observed to be moving up the hill on what is now a part of the Lafayette -pike,"' and continuing 011 its journey until it stopped in front of t!ie frame hotel building then existing at the southeast corner of Washington and Main streets, but without a driver. The absence of McCabe f: 0111 his team was commented upon. He rarely left his team unhitched, they said. It remained standing there until dark, when it was stabled with the expectation that the owner would return soon and reclaim it. He never did. The excitement next morning caused from the non-appear-ance of McCabe increased hourly. He was known to, at times, carry considerable money on his person, and with many the idea prevailed at once that he bad been murdered for it. Others thought he had become lost in the woods to the west of the stream, and would be found or return within a day or two at the farthest. Still others believed that he had drowned in the creek while driving through it. This latter theory seemed to have the most adherents. McCabe's disappearance was the gossip of every gathering, and seemed uppermost in the minds of moat the people. Searching parties for the woods and the creek were organized and put to work. Every log and brush pile, hill apd hollow for a considerable distance was examined wifh the belief that the body of McCabe would be found, but in vain. The shore where he had procured sand was searched. A number took off.their shoes and waded up and down the stream for the distance of 300 yards, but with fruitless results. The belief be/an to grow that he had been murdered and hie body had been burried near by, or thrown into the water and held down with weights of stone, and despair began to prevade everyone that neither the body would be recovered nor the crime discovered. The suggestion was at last mai that all those willing should join hands and move up and down stream, and by that means the body, if in the water, could not escape the eyes of some one or other of the band if it were laying beneath the water. It, was done. The band moved together down the stream, arid in a few moments the cry was heard from one of thein, "Here it is, bovs!" indicating that he had found the body of Mc Cabe, near it also the large limo of a tree, freshly broken off, being noticed. The body was at once brought to shore and an examination of the clothing and body began. No money was missing and his watch, which he carried, was found hanging to his vest

•—Is Now a Dictator—Ills Adventurous
Career.
OMANCE runs in the Barrios veins and the present re sentative of the family, who re11 outwitted his rivals and tried to secure a new grip as dictator of Guatemala, is one of the most interest ng characters
in Latiu America. For the past few weeks his downfall and the loss of that power which he has won through the struggles of so
many
adventurous years has been
prophesied. In the eastern part of I Guatemala the rebels against this rule
have ma(,e guch headway aR tQ cause

the capital, and In the north-
west a revolutionary force has stormed and taken the city of Quezaltenango, about seventy-five miles from the capital. It may be that the day of Barrios is over, but a Barrios generally fights before he falls.
Since he was a child Barrios has passed through enough adventure to supply Richard Harding Davis with material for a dozen "Soldiers of Fortune." Jose Marie Reyna Barrios
a
nephew of that remarkable man Rufino Barrios, who so long held power in Guatemala and lost his life in battle for the unification of Central America. It is a quarter of a century ago since the house of Barrios first took charge of Guatemalan affairs. Reyna Barrios, who is now forty-four years old, does not resemble his uncle in personal appearance, for Rufino, the dictator, was a man of huge frame, while Reyna is short and "stocky." He is, however, like his uncle, a man of personal courage and, undoubtedly, has in his mind what has become a tradition of the house of Barrios, the unification of Central America—with a Barrios, of course, as dictator of all. Reyna is grateful and never forgets a kindness done him in the hour of his need. The writer has known Reyna Barrios to forego his own advantage and give up some cherished schemes in order that he might not injure a hotel keeper who had befriended him by taking him to his own table when Reyna was in danger of being poisoned by his own cooks.
Reyna has been in office since 1892 and has just had his subservient congress elect him to a second term of six years. There was to have been an election next January, and many candidates had appeared against Reyna. Go to save the country the trouble and expense and himself the uncertainty of a general election he suddenly summoned congress the other day, and congress re-elected him president.
This is by no means an unusual proceeding in a Central or South American republic—it has been done time and time again and always results in the president being driven into exile, being shot or getting a new lease of power. It is even betting on the exile and the power, but^as for the shooting, a Latin president generally "lights out" for Paris, where he has laid up treasure against the time of his downfall, when he sees that the game is about played out.

Lieut. Col. Randall Has Taken Troops to Alaska.
Lieut. Col. George M. Randall, of the ISighth United States infantry, who was left in command of a force of troops 10 establish a military post in Alaska, has had an eventful career in the army of the United Slates. He enlisted in the civil war as a private in the Fourth United States infantry in April, 1861. 1 In October. 1861. he was made a second lieutenant. He served with the
Fourth until he reached the rank of major, when he was placed in command of the Fourteenth New York artillery. At the close of the civil war he was made first lieutenant of the Fourth United States infantry, and in the army reorganization was transferred to the Twenty-third infantry as captain. He served as captain and major of the Twenty-third during all of the important Indian campaigns of the West, and was made lieutenant colonel of the Eighth infantry in 1894. Co!. Randall has been five times brevetted by cenr^ss for gallant and meritorious conduct in battle, as follows: Sept 17, 1862, brevetted captain for services at Antietam, Va.

Randall, then major of the Twenty-third, was his righthand man, serving as one of his staff officers and commanding his Indian scouts.

Hawaiian Woman 188 Tears Old.
The oldest inhabitant of Hawaii, and probably the oldest human being in the world who has retained most of her faculties, is a native woman residing In Honolulu, the story of whose life became known through the efforts of Alatau T. Atkinson, editor of the Hawaiian Star and general superintendent of the census just completed. Her name is Kepoolele Apau, and her age, from the most authentic reckoning, 124 years. Crippled two years ago by a fall which dislocated her thigh, this ancient specimen of humanity can chat intelligently about events that occurred more than a century ago, can see a coin in a prospective donor's hand clear across the room,., and can patch clothing as deftly as any of her great-great-grandchildren. Shs is getting purblind, but "ner general health is good and her appetite fair. She is confident that if she had not had that fall she would have been still able to be useful. She volunteered the information that she remembered the digging of the welt in Kau and that she was a child at the time. sin-. Jar to a child running about the house, a child of six or seven years.

Dlaniontl Jubilee of Telngraphy.
it is curious that this present year should record the diamond jubilee of telegraphy, and, at the same time bring into prominent notice the possibilities of wireless telegraphy. On June 10, 1837, Cooke and Wheatstone's first patent for electric telegraph was signed by William IV. The Pall Mall Gazette spates that on July 4 of that year the first telegraph wire was laid The circuit was between Buston and Camden Town railway stations, under the permanent way of the London and Northwestern railway (then named the London and Birmingham railway company). The line eonsisted of five wires, each wire laid in separate grooves cut out of long blocks of wooff There are many of these blocks in existence. A year or two ago one was dug up, and actually formed part of the circuit through which was flashed to all parts of the empire the message from Buckingham palace on Jubilee day: so that a portion of the first telegraph wire is dug up and serves as an aid to the royal message in the very year in which it Is proposed to telegraph without wires.

Illustrator Who Re
cently Passed Away—Ho Led as a Book 1'icture UlakA.
IR JOHN GILbert, R. A., presiilent of the Royal 3c clety of Painters in Water Colore, died in London the other day at the age of 80 years.
Gilbert's first picture was exhibited in 1836. It was a water color draw
ing, and its subject was "The Arrest of Lord Hastings by the Protector, Richard Duke of Gloucester." In the same year he exhibited an oil painting in the Royal Academy and in 1839 he exhibited at the British Institution. From that 'time forward his pictures "were seen constantly in the last named gallery and occasionally at the academy. Most of his paintings have been historical, and many of them were suggested by the classics in English and continental humor. His brush was busy up to 1890, in which year he painted "Onward."
He was better known to the Englishspeaking public as an illustrator of books and periodicals than as a painter. Among his most important illustrations are those of an edition of Shakespeare, upon which he spent several years. In 1871 he was elected president of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colors, in whose galleries ihe has been a constant exhibitor. He was knighted more than twenty-five years ago. In 1876 he was elected a

Sir John for many years refused to sell any of his paintings, with a view to one day presenting them to the nation. In 1893 he divided the collection among the art galleries of London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. At that time he was presented with the freedom of the City of London, an honor that was never before and has never since been given to any artist.
