Mr. Silvers, of Boone county, was here to see his son last week and remained with him several days. He seemed well pleased with the people in 'hinch.

Tude Hamilton has nearly two hundred acres of land in this section. We think he will own all the land down in Balhinch if he lives long enough and can get the owners to sell it to him.

II anybody finds a dead crow with No. 6 shot please return to Ellis Crull and receive reward.

Frank Taylor was seen at the Mayor's office last Saturday night. We wonder what was the matter with him.

For the benefit of our friend, "Sandy," we will say that we did not stay until the women climbed the tree from the blind sheep.

Yes, Mount Pleasant, Agnew will bombard Cherry Grove and with the assistance of Harvy Taylor will shot Stringtown in the pockets.

Vint Smith, of east of the city, was visiting his son in-law last Saturday and was taken quite sick but was able to go home on Monday.

Stringtown we are glad to hear from you again but did not know that you were well again. We are always glad to hear from our old friends.

We think that Wide Awake is a head of the world. We have a girl baby that is called Cuba. She is the daughter of our Mayor, Curtis Edwards.

John Kincaid can be seen going north every Sunday and from two to three nights out of the week. John you want to keep a look out

for that fellow in town. He is a bad man so we are told. Ed Grondyke was seen in Wide Awake last Sunday with his best girl. Ld. said he had got tired of walking and he had a friend that had horses and he just went and got one and took the girl out for a'drive. He said he did not think of running on to the reporter or he would have gone home other road. We can be found 011 most any road.

We think Robert's Chapel is light when he said Henry Hughes took a dose of medicine every Sunday morning to keep from going to church. \\Te happened to go to church the other night and we looked for Henry and some one said he was there but we failed to see him. We will admit we saw him at the door but don't think he came in. "Sandy" you talk a great deal about eating. Now we have a dinner once in awhile so we could not have time last week to write our letter for we were out all week to dinners. The first was at John Vanarsdall a on Saturday. It was in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bearcham, of Laporte, Ind. Mr. B. is stalwart democrat from a way back. We then gathered at Curtis Edward's, our good mayor and you should have seen us after we got up from the table. We had to go and play a few games of croquet and then go back and eat more and when night came we ^had to be hauled home. The dinner^was prepared by the mayor's two daughters, Misses Mae and Hattie,

INGALLS ON THE WAR.

The Ex-Senator's Review of Current Events.

BATTLE EE00ED NEVER ECLIPSED.

Anglo-Saxon Alliance and the Nicaraguan Canal No More .Effective Army Than Ours Ever Assembled—We Are a United,

Patriotic People Dewey's Expedition Likened to That of the Argonaut—Cervera's Ships Like the Ball of the Thimble Rigger.

A little over a month ago congress, on the recommendation of the president, passed a bill recognizing the existence of a state of war between tho United States and Spain, an interval brief, but momentous, and crowded with prodigious events.

War is a vortex which engulfs nations. Society becomes elemental. Men, institutions, purposes, habits, disappear. Inter arma leges silent is the old phrase. Everything else is silent inter arma.

In tho last 30 days Bryanism, Populism, freo silver, socialism, sectionalism, Republicanism, Democracy, female suffrage, Prohibition, Dingleyism, the Klondike, all have vanished, submerged in tlie abyss. The republic of Cuba, the army of Gomez, the starving reconcentrados, the ostensible occasion of the war, over whom so much eloquence was wasted and so many tears were shed, are a schoolboy's tale, no longer subjects of interest or discussion. Probably by this time they are all dead, victims of Spanish cruelty and the pacific blockade. Gomez is a shadow and the republio a dream.

In the place of these, against the horizon of public thought, loom vague and large the specters of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, of international complications, of the conquest of the Philippines, of the Nicaragua canal, of the empire of the Pacific, of the policy of the twentieth century all unconsidered 80 days ago. It is like the box in the "Arabian Nights," drawn up by the fisherman in his net, from which, when opened by the magio key, emerges the genius in the shape of vapor, that soon took en the form of a giant reaching to the zenith. To the exulting enthusiasm thflt followed Dewey's inspiring achievement at Manilla has succeeded the reaction of impatience and depression. Victory and peace do not seem so likely by midsummer as they did about a month ago. For a bankrupt and senile nation Spain has so far shown herself to be no despicable antagonist. The race has been to the swift and the battle to the strong. But though all that was anticipated has not been accomplished, there is encouragement in the reflection that no nation ever did so much in so short a space before.

The vast appropriations made by congress have shown to tho world our inexhaustible resources. We are not a warlike people, but of tho 125,000 volunteers culled for April 2" more than

J^OTICETO HEIRS, CREDITORS, ETC In the matter of the eatato of William 13. I fardoe, docensoJ.

In the .Montgomery Circuit Court, April term, 1898. Notice is hereby given that Lewis McMalns as administrator of estate of William B. Hardee, deceased, has presented and filed his accounts and vouchors in final settlement of said estate, and that tho same will como up for the examination anil action of said Circuit Court on the 25th day of June, 1898, at which time all heirs, creditors or legatees of said estate are required to appear in said Court ani show cause if any there be, why said accounts and vouchers should not be approved, and the heirs and distributees of said estato are also notified to be in said Couttat the time aforesaid and make proof of heirship.

ELLEN BUCKLEY, Executrix.

Dated this 36th day of April, 1898.

110,000 have been: mustered and am now in camps of instruction or marching to tho front. No more effective army has ever been assembled, and they have been mobilized and concentrated with a rapidity and safety unknown in military operations before. Rations, 6tores, supplies, munitions and equipment have been accumulated with incredible activity and ample provision made for tho future.

Upon the seas wo have assembled magnificent fleets, tho armaments that thunder strike tho walls of rock built cities, making nations quake and monarchs tremble in their capitals.

And, best of all, the people are united, patriotic, with fixed purpose and undaunted resolution, animated with tho spirit that has inspired the heroes of every history and tho martyrs of every religion. Possibly Dewey's success has made tho people unjust in their estimate of naval operations in Cuban waters. He set up an unapproachable standard. His example will be the despair of all rivals. His feat cannot be repeated, but to outsiders and laymen it seems that Cervera has made monkeys of Schley and Sampson either by superior subtlety in maneuvers and stratagem or through the intervention of the mysterious "war board, "which sits daily in an upper room in the granite pile at Seventeenth Btreet in Washington with maps and charts and scales and compasses and red and black pins to gnide the whitlwind and direct the storm. It is easy to criticise aud cheap to cavil, but with the best disposition it is difficult to avoid a suspicion that the war board is an excrescence. Theories and problems and calculations are well enough in their way, but war is not an exact science, and the power to compose learned treatises does not necessarily imply the power to plan successful campaigns. Cassar was one of the few who have been equally great with tho sword and the pen.

Dewey disposed of tho Asiatic fleet without tho assistance of the war board. Quito likely tho Atlantio problem was different, but in these waters the Spanish flotilla has been in moro widely separated places at the samo time for a longer period than any expedition since the Argonaut sailed to Colchis for the golden fleece. As a stereopticon performance, with dissolving views, on the ocean as a screen, flitting from Cadiz to Cape Verde, to tho Canaries, to Newfoundland, to Santiago do Cuba, to San Juan, to Venezuela, with visionary bombardments of tho New England coast, Savannah and Galveston thrown in, it has been a prodigious success.

Tho bankers of Boston ono day asked permission to remove their deposits to the interior of Massachusetts in a shiver of trepidation at an impending attack from ironclads that were reported by the next bulletin to at the pillars of Hercules.

General Miles had his baggage checked and his horses loaded and his sleeper

on the track, ready to start for Florida at 10 o'clock one night, a few weeks ago, but tho war board slipped another slide into their stereopticon, and the general is in Washington yet and the invasion of Cuba indefinitely postponed. The trouble with Cervera is that his ships are never where they ought to be. They are like the ball of tho thimblo rigger at a county fair, always under the wrong cup. But there is one consolation—the Oregon is safe where, no one is allowed to know. But she is safe, so much is certain, after her voyage of 13,000 miles without loosening a nut or a bolt. She is out of harm's way at last. Why she was not left in the Pacific to re-enforce Dewey is past knowing, except by tho war board, but she is safe and can now take part in the great international regatta.—John J. Ingalls in New York Journal.

THE CUBANS' STRENGTH.

A Naval Courier Says Their Effective Fighting Forces Number Only Two Thousand. I find considerable criticism of the willingness with which tho American people have accepted newspaper stories of tho great strength of Gomez and Garcia in Cuba. Gomez, as Mr. Somerford has already said, does not want the army landed, hoping to have Blanco starved out, so that the Cuban army can have the credit of being tho only opposition military authority in Cuba.

I have recent information from a naval officer who has had much to do With landing and taking courier communications between the army of Gomez and our war department to the effect that the Cubans have not 2,000 effective fighting men on tho island. He gives thnt as his unbiased opinion.

The statement of Colonel Juan Jovza that Spain has 250,000 men under arms is laughed at by experienced naval officers. They say the top notch is 65,000 men.—Special Cor. New York Herald.

Sampson's Rich Reward.

Lawyer Edward E. Jones, representing the government in the matter of the prizes taken by our warships, has prepared a rough estimate of tho value of some of tho cargoes. He thinks the total value is $1,500,000, of which something like $37,000 will go to Admiral Sampson. Each tar of the ship* interested in captures will receive upward of $200.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
