A Declamation Contest-

The impression seems to have gotten abroad that if the fair makeB a liberal provision for a declamation contest children's day the customary spring contest will bo abolished. This impression is most oroneous, as the committee informs THE .IOUKNAL that it will be held whether or no, and a determined effort made to make it a greater feature than ever this coming year. The teachers should go to work at once preparing their pupils for this annual ci ntest which occasions nothing but good.

The Koad Was Purchased.

Jan 20 was tho day set aside for the special road election in Franklin township when the question of the purchase of the Crawfordsville, Smartsburg & Eastern pike was submitted to the people. The elecvion was a jumbled affair at best and in many precincts the polls were not opened. Only votes were cast of which 4!) were in favor of the purchase and 1(J against it. Home of the polls were not opened as the citizens were expecting all the paraphernalia incident to a regular election. I11 tho road elections, however, all the red tape is not required.

A Splendid Entertainment.

The lecture committee of the V. M. C. A., held a meeting last week to confer with C. II. French, the great stereoptican view lecturer of Chicago. After a .-'lort consultation the committee closed a contract with Mr. French for one of his entertainments to be given further on. His subject will be "The World's Fair" and over 300 splendid views will be 6hown. The lecture should be attended by all ae it will be not only interesting but instructive as well, and as all intend to visit the great fair some time during its progress this lecture will prove a splendid opportunity to post up.

v.. They Enjoy the Change. Gus Lanilis, of the Delphi Journal, visited the northern prison last week and writes it up, most of his article going to show how much more popular French is than Murdock. Among other things he says: "Warden French, who succeeded Murdock last spring, has made himself exceedingly popular with the convicts is a statement that will not admit of question. 'It does not seem like the same place it was before French took charge,' said Pettit, tho preacher convict. Ho told how much better thev jjHj, were treat-oil in every way. French's h"bby is cleanliness, and if a prisoner wants to be hauled over the coals he need only get slovenly about his cell.'

The Yandos Ootone.

The Yandes Coterie met. Saturday evening in tho ollicoof .1. L. Slirum. K. N. Whiteford read a very fine paper on "A Study in Robert, Browning," which gave his hearers a distinct insight into tho motives and ideals of this groat poet who is so deep that ordinary people cannot understand him without the assistance of a club. Mr. Whiteford's paper consisted simply of a very complete analysis of one of Browning's poems, a method of revealing tho man which surpasses a plain discourse on his life as eating an apple is better than being told all about the apple treo. The current topic introduced by F. P. Mount was the recent destructive fire at Indianapolis. The general opinion was that cities were not doing their duty in onforcing or making laws for fire protection and incidentally there was a question raised as to whether all tho children in the central school building could get out if it should catch fire.

Death of Henry Glenn.

strated that sho seemed good for quite Close to Indianapolis have occurred disa lease of life. Mrs. Stump was one of the pioneers of. this county and leaves quite a numb.r of descendants, all good and worthy people.

On Jan. 22, shortly after 2 o'clock, Ilenry Glenn died at his rooms on south Green street after a long illness, of consumption.

Mr. Glenn has lived here for a number of years and was once connected with the book firm of l'ontious & Lacoy He was married several years ago to Miss Anna Snyder, the daughter of Mrs. Mary Snyder. He Jien removed two miles west of the city and lived until he went to Now Mexico on account of his health. He returned with his wife and children several months ago and failed rapidly. Mr. Glenn was a member of the Methodist church and a gentleman honored and respected by a largo ci.clo of acquaintances. —The funeral of Henry Glenn occured at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. A large number of the Iv. of P. marched to the cemetery with the procession.

Narrowly Escaped.

There was quite a conflagration nenr Waynetown the other evening which came near resulting in a holocust. The family of John Riddle, a well-known citizen of this county, were aroused Trom their slumbers about midnight by one of tho children who awoko to find tho room filled with smoko and the house above a she.°t of rolling flames. Tho inmates had barely time to seize their clothes and rush out from the burning building. A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Riddle was dangerously ill with typhoid fever, and rolling her up in bar bodclothes they carried her through the deep snow to the house of a noighbor. The house was completely destroyed, but tho family rejoice to think that they escaped with their lives and a few articles of value from tho front room. Tho fire originated in the smoke house at the rear of the kitchen whore a barrel of ashes stood.

A Social Hyena.

MisB Jessie Bastion came in Saturday morning from tho beautiful farming lands of Coal Creek nnd through Hurley it Clodfelter applied for a divorce from that high-toned gentleman whom sho married a little ovor a year ago. Garrett Bastion turned out to be mighty slim picking and it was not ljng before the neighbors were all wagging their tongues in a declaration to the effect that Jessie had taken her ducks to a poor market. He did not make any provision for his wife but sat around on t.ho soap boxes at the store and chewed raisins and coil while Jessie plowed corn and trapped muskrats. Finally he skipped by 1 ho light of tho pale now moon and has not since been seen. Accordingly as he don't come home to oat anymore she wants a divorce with all the usual trimmings and garnishments.

Violates the Prison Rules and Re-

the Prison Rules

cieves a Chastisement.

An article was republished hero several days ago detailing a punishment that had been indicted on W. Fred Pettit at the Northern Prison, but was afterward denied. Warden French, in a letter to tho South Bend

Tribune

I confronted him with it I10 confessed his guilt and admitted that he had again brokon his promiso but refused to give me tho name of lus confederate. Then, true to my promise, I put him in the dungeon for two reasons: 1st.. Because for the third time I10 violated the the prison rules 2d. Becauso he declined to give the name of his confederate. But I am sorry that you have led jhe public to believe that any such species of cruelty will bo permitted in this prison while I liavo control of it. I put the bracelets on his arms and fastoned him to the rodded door in front of him and loft him standing iu a perfectly natural position but compelling him to stand whilo other inmates were at work a rule that is followed with all prison punishment when anyone confined within the prison is so unfortunate as to brinar punishment upon him self. For the sake of the convict am sorry that it should be made a matter of newspaper news, but I suppose someone familiar with tho facts and loss con siderato, has given you the item. In justice to myself, the institution and to

Mr. Pettit, I have given you the facts in the case, and I have only been impelled to do so becauso of the false statement going out."

y. Democratic Candidates, Wallace Sparks arrived from Denver, Colorado last night and will go to looking after the Democratic nominations for county Clerk. His only opponent so far is chairman Will Johnston, of tho Democratic Central Committee.

JudgeSellar and Michael Carroll both wish to be Joint Representative from tho Putnam, Montgomery and Clay counties. They will each make a lively fight.

Ed Voris has his best eye on a fat county office. There will be no opposition to tho ronomination of Treasurer Hutton, Surveyor Hunt, Prosecutor Moffott and Coroner Rronaugli. That is there are no rival Richmonds in the field.

Sheriff Bible will probably be forced to a fight for his claims, and it is whispered that your Uncle Alex Harper will again pass the hat for votes.

Frank Wren, of Whitesville, is tho most formidable candidates among the Democrats for Itecordor, but Milt MeKee and one or two others liavo their best eye fixed on tho office with an in tensity painful to behold.

Higgins, of tho hand painted whisk ers, has not yet declared whether or not ho will bo a candidate for Representative again. Ho was made somewhat weary by his previous experience,

tails the facts as follows: "Soon after I came hero I detected Pettit carrying on cipher correspondence. I notified him that it was a violation of the prison rules nnd asked him to desist. Ho promised, but broke his promise by another attempt to send out cipher letters. I then informed him if it occurred again it would bring punishment upon him. He promised a second ttme but thought to evade mo by securing a confederate and delivering a cipher letter, which in turn was delivered to a lady visitor, who lost tho letter, and it was brought to me.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

Republicans of the Eight District Hold Forth at Terre Haute. Tho largest district convention ever hold in tho old Eighth district was that held in Terre Haute on .Tan. 21. Chairman W. T. Brush called the convention to order and C. M. Travis was promptly elocteil temporary chairman by acclamation. Nicholas Filbeck, of Terre Haute, was elected as the district's member of tho State Central Committee, and responded iu a rousing speech. Hon. James T. Johnston made an elegant address endorsing the administration of President Harrison which wu received with enthusiastic cheers. Hon,

F. M. Dice, chairman of the committee on resolutions then mado tho following roport which created the wildest enthusiasm and was carried with a whoop:

We very cordially endorse tho administration of President Harrison nnd the last Republican Congress, especially for tho passage of tho slver, pension and tariff bills whereby tho currency is improved, tho soldiers claims recognized, protection to home labor and its industries afforded, and the opening of the ports of foreign countries obtained a a market for our vast agricultural and mechanical products.

As Republicans of Indiana wo feel nn especial pride and gratification at tho wisdom and prudence aud high standard of statesmanship so conspicuously displayed by President Harrison in tho discharge of ovt ry public duty. Ho has shown to tho entire country that he is a man of broad and comprehensive views, able, fearless, incorruptible and conscientious in the administration of public affairs and in his conduct in private life.

Wo therefore believe it to be a dutr we owe to ourselves aB well as to him to enthusiastically recommend him for renomiuation by tho Republican national convention.

We condemn the Democratic administration of affairs in Indiana whereby tho State debt has boon increased in ten years from four to nine million of dollars.

Wo ilenounco tho iniquitous and outrageous tax law passed by the last Democratic legislature unnecessarily increasing the burdens of the agricultural class, and the legislative "gerrymander" alike and unjust to the equal rights of all political organizations.

Wo denounce tho Democratic campaign of shameless and persistoiit falsehood, which resulted in the election of tho present Democratic congress and we proudly call attention to tho fact that tho practical operations of tho MoKinloy taiiff law have demonstrated tha wisdom and true statesmanship of its authors.

Every prediction of evil to result from it has proved false, nnd its beneficent results havo mot tho expectations and prophecies of it friends and advocates. Under its operations the products of the farm have ineroasod in value sugar, one of the groat staple commodities of universal consumption, has been greatly cheapened, and all kinds of manufactured goods in general use in the country have either remained at their old prices or become cheaper. With such results tho people cannot be again deceived.

Rockvilie was recommended 11s the proper placo for holding the congressional nomination convention and the meeting adjourned after a number of sterling speeches.
