Galled to California.

Ben Crane has left for California, called by a telegram announcing the very dangerous illness of Dr. Briggp, formerly of this city. Dr. Briggs was thrown from bis carriage some time since and sustained spinal injuries which will doubtless prove fatal.

Into Camp,

The first installment of the Kingfishers Club have left for their cabin at Pino Hills. The rest of the club will go down next Wednesday. Thope leaving this week were D. F. McClure and wife, W. T. Brush and wife, W. li. Wallace and wife, B. 11. Russell iuid wife, Dr. J. N. Taylor, Miss Babe Brewer, and Master *Joy Jay, of Kokomo.

Will Blow Themselves.

The people of Denver have raised $100,000 to spend on the coming Iv. T. conclave. Of this sum $35,000 will be spent for illumination, $10,000 for decoration, $5,000 for the reception committee, $9,000 for horses and carriages, $25,000 for the hotel committee, $12,000 for the banquet and $10,000 for incidantals. It will be made the greatest occasion of the kind in the history of the country.

Kicked By a Horse.

July 6, Charley SmiLh, the eon of Enoch Smith, started to drive his team into the alley in the rear of Cohoon Fisher's hardware store and got down from his wagon to remove an obstacle when one of his horses gave him a vicious kick in the stomach, also mashing one of his hands. The young man was picked up and carried to Dr. HutchingB' office where he received medical treatment. He suffered greatly but finally recovered sufficiently to be taken home.

Drum Corps Organized.

At the Morton club rooms last Tuesday the Republican drum corps for the coming campaign was organized. The drums are already here and the uniforms will be selected next Monday evening. Will Martin was elected drum major and Stan Wilhite musical direct or. The personel of the corps is as follows: Stan Wilhite, Fred Wilhite, Wallie Coons, Howard Craig, Yerd Galey, Will Martin, Joe Whittaker, Firm Davis, Harley Nutt, Walter Grubb, A. Leonard, Orie Cook, Elbert Scott, James Clements, Geo. Tomlinson, Fred Doherty and Frank Clark.

A Burclary.

Burglars made quite a little haul at the residence of Dr. E. Detchon the other night. The nurse of S. G. Detchon and wife iiad retired with the hired girl leaving the window up and the light burning. In the middle of the night the hired girl awoke just in time to see a man running down the roof and sliding easily off. She at once aroused her companion and an investigation disclosed the fact that the bureau drawer had been opened and a pocket book containing $34 belonging to the nurse girl taken It was a severe blow to her as it constituted her savings for several months.

Took Oath To It.

Gus Karle and his bar keeper have gone before a magistrate and taken oath to the effect that no liquor was sold from the Karle saloon on last Sunday. Mr. Karle is very emphatic in his denunciation of the man who reported seeing 35 men enter his place by the back door. He states that he doesn't object being roasted when he does anything out of the way but when he acts according to law he wants credit for it. He reports that a neighboring saloon sold beer by the bucketful all day but no mention was made of this place in the union meeting. He fails to see why the discrimination was made. __

A Great Pace. ..

Miss Lola Grimes, the young lady who will appear here this fall at the fair performed quite a fete with her pacer at Danville, Illinois yesterday. The Commercial says: "Starter Loper at 4 o'clock started the famous pacer, Riley, driven by Miss Grimes, and a running mate driven by her father, on a half mile pace against time. Two halves were paced, the first, owing to a break on the home stretch being made in 1:09. The last attempt was successful and the noble horse crowned a terrific burst of speed by coming under the wire in 1:06, the fastest time ever made by a woman driven horse. Both the driver and the horse were heartily applauded.

Repented. Jg§

Mrs. Charley Miller had quite a novel experience Tuesday with a pocketbook. While she called in at the home of her father-in-law she left in the seat of the buggy her pocket book containing about S18. When she Btarted to leave the pocket book was gone and all search failed to reveal its whereabouts. The money was given up for lost but in the evening a man called at Mr. Miller's house and turned over the pocket book with the money juBt about one dollar short. He stated that he had deliberately stolen it in the morning and bad spent the missing money before he repented of his action. He was unable to replace the shortage, but judged it best to return what was left and make acknowledgments. The trouble with most people who nab pocket books is that they don't repent.

WHITE-BItiLE.

Brilliant Country Wedding Wednesday Afternoon at the Home of E. B. Snyder.

Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the handsome country residence of li. B. Snyder occurred the marriage of

Charles White and Miss Mary Leona Bible. A large number of guests were present and the affair was a most successful one from every standpoint. The decorations were exceedingly beautiful. In the parlor where the ceremony took place the bay window was banked with flowers and ferns. Overhead was suspended a cunningly devised bell made of moss, cedar and ferns concealing a tiny real bell which was rung at the approach of the wedding procession. An arch was thrown in front of the window on top of which two cupids stood holding a cord, from which hung the monogram "W. B." Over this two doves were hovering. Connecting the two pillars of the arch were two gates of cedar, fern, and smilax, bound with white ribbon. Tte attendants were Miss Lizzie Bible and Mr. Tom Ross with Miss Clough, of LaFayette, as maid of honor. The bridal party entered from the hall, the signal being the ringing of the bell. The bride who is a very pretty young lady was attired in a handsome gown of cream wool trimmed with harmonizing velvet and chiffon, Grecian style. As the bridal party approached the bay window Miss Clough untied the gates and the ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. J. W. Nye, of Yeedersburg. The wedding dinner

wnB

an exceedingly elaborate

affair. In the first dining room flowers were everywhere. Over one of the tables was a figure representing devotion, entwined with smilax and Ilowers. From the center of the dining room ceiling was suspended an immense urn made of moss and filled with wheat, lillies, etc. The effect was beautiful. Fifty persons were seated at the tables and the refreshments were what one would expect to find at the hospitable board of R. B. Snyder. In the second dining room the suspended lamp was festooned with flowers, smilax and vines. The presents to the couple were both numerous and beautiful. Both Mr. and Mrc. White are popular young people and a large host of friends join in wishing them much happiness and joy. Those present from abroad were Mr. and Mr6. Thomas Florer, Frank Snyder, Mr. Schuyler Marks, Miss Emma Clough and Miss Emma Mehan, of LaFayette, and Mrs. Ltt Campbell,' of Kirkpatrick.

There's No Getting Out of It The State press has widely circulated the report that editor C. B. Landis of the Delphi Journal was taken sick with the measles the day of the congressional convention before which he was a candidate. There is no truth in the story and th6 villainous assassin of character who foisted this foul-mouthed lie on the public deserves tar and feathers with a rope to hang him. The facts are simply these. Mr. Landis expected to get a certain delegate to vote for him who was detained at home because hiB wife's cousin had a niece whose daughter waB threatened with an attack of something which the doctors feared might prove to be measles. We hope the papers which have been unintentionallv slandering Mr. LandiB will make the proper retraction.—Logansport Journal.

It was probably the daughter whom Gus kissed. He always was gallant.

Another Monteomery County Poet. You can't the Hoosier down, especially that variety that grows in Montgomery county. Hazlitt Alva Cuppy, of Waveland, now studying at Ville Filseck, Heidelberg, Germany, has just issued a modest volume of poems, his first flights. There are nineteen selections, six of which are in dialect. Most of them have appeared in print before under the author's name or under his nom de plume, "H. R. Knox, of Amity." Space forbids an extensive review of the book but the following four lines called "Cupid's Play," show what a delicate touch and exquisite conception the young poet has:

Two little licurts, like drops of dew, Lay sparkling in the sun, Cupid aimed his shaft so trne,

He bound them into one. The book is published by McCormick & Co., Indianapolis, and sells for 25 cents.

The book is dedioated to Paul Hazlitt Davis, the son of Joe Davis."

No other sarsaparilla possesses the combination, proportion, and process which make Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar to itself.

WATCHMAN, TELL DS 01' THE NIGHT.

What Caused the Disorderly Row and the Destruction of Officcr Gill's flat? Watchman Fauver, who stands at the Main street crossing and waves his Hag at little children and farmers when the mail trains crawl past at the rate of (iij miles an hour, lives in t,Lo old Blair place on east Market street, lie has an interesting family of a wife and an ac•omplished daughter. Both of these ladies are accomplished, but to enumerate their accomplishments might bring them into some disrepute, so we considerately forbear. It is not too much, however to say that they delight in the flowing bowl, and a* good old fashioned family tight with plenty of clubs and lung power. Tuesday ovening after the can had been chased and the growler rushed sufficiently the sport began. Compliments gave way to criticism and criticism got hurriedly out of the way to make way for the stew pans, perfumery bottles, curling irons and the crutches of papa Fauver. The air was so full missiles that a person couldn't take a full breath without swallowing a flat iron or the family Bible. While the fun was at its merriest one of the family who was up in the corner and the object of the aim of the others, called in John Snyder, who was passing. Mr. Snyder rushed gallantly to the rescue but as he entered the door someone put a pail over his head while some one spots him in the abdomen with an upholstered rocking chair and then stepped on him. This was somewhat confusing to Mr. Snyder and he was just beginning to realize that some one was at work on his head with a club when the arrival of Officer Gill caused a cessation of hostilities. Mr. Gill tried to pacify the ladies but the ladies wouldn't be pacified. To be candid about it they defied the authority of the law's legate and one of the dear creatures snatched off his hat and deliberately ate the straw rim before his face. They then charged and proceeded to claw him like cats on a back roof, gallantly restrained Mr. Gill from crowding the teeth of the dear creatures down their throats. So as he had no warrant for arrest he wont out of the battle and

Badly proceeded homeward in quest of a new hat. The Faurers wera arrested for disturbing the peace.

THINKS HIS RAOE ALL RIGfll

Bishop Wayman Thinks the Colored People are to Inherit the Earth. Bishop Wayman who preached at the A. M. E. church Tuesday and who visited here yesterday is thus written up by the Indianapolis Ncivs:

Bishop Alexander W. Wayman, of the Fourth Dietrict, African Methodist Episcopal church, is in the city. He was signed to his territory at the General Conference recently held at Philadelphia, and is making a short tour, looking over the field prior to the convening of the annual conference. Bishop Wavman, while not the oldest presiding bishop, is the oldest minister in the service of the church, having been licensed to preach over fifty years ago. He was ordained bishoj) twenty-eight years ago. The Bishop expressed himself" as being well pleased with the conditions of the churches in this city. He presided over this district twenty years ago.

Bishop Wayman was born in Maryland in 1821 of slave parents. His present home in Baltimore, Md., has been his home for eleven years. He is in striking contrast with the venerable Bishop Brown, and is to be approached on any topic save politics. When asked for his opinion on the situation and the nominees, he said he did not feel interested, as his name was not presented at the convention, and he smiled at the discomfiture of the reporter. "What do you think of the race problem was asked. "There ie no race problem. That is a mienomer. When I was a young man I used to go down in Maryland to white camp-meetings, and I was always asked to preach, and was quite a drawing card. Since the war when I go down there I sit back in the rear and those who UBed to lionize me simply speak to me. "The moral of this is that when a man is chained he is not feared, but when free he must be formidable to his enemies. The white people are afraid of the negro, with his rapidly increasing intelligence, and this is why he is treated so. King Herod had all the male children slain in order that he might reach the Christ, and this was because he feared him, not for anything he had done. When you look at the progress the negro has made and the wealth he has accumulated since the war, you will understand with what alarm his enemies view the probable position of the colored man fifty years from now. He may not be the ruler of the universe, but he cannot but eventually become the predominating nationality." ||f| "Do you think the prayer-meetings held throughout the country on the 30th ult. will have any bearing on the situation "Give the colored man time, will do the rest. The prayers right, and doubtless awakened tereBt in many who had not given the matter much thought but the race problem, condensed to its solid form, is nothing but the alarm of the white man at the rapid strides being made by the negro."

Late Wednesday nvoning, about 9 o'clock, Ray, an only son of Mr. Walter Donaldson, dealer in dry goods and clothing, a bright and worthy young man of nearly 17 years of age, purchased a 32-revolver and a box of cartridges at Burkhard's store, on Ship street, remarking at the time that ho wanted it to shoot turtles with up tho creek. Mr. Burkhard placed one of the cartridges in tho chamber to see that it fit properly, and thore it remained as Ray loft the store. From the store, it seems, young Donaldson went straight to tho home of J. II. Krug, tho dwelling just north of tho Hotel Whitcomb, to call on a young lady, MiBB Graco Robb, with whom he had boon keeping company for some ime and for whom he appears to have had very warm feelings. Miss Robb is a sister of Mrs. Krug. After a short stay with her he left tho house and almost immediately a pistol shot rang out on the night air, when tho ladies of the house went to the front door only to meet Ray staggering up the steps. On examination it wae found that the ball had entered tho breast near the right nipple between the third and fourth ribs and passing through the lung stopped under the right shoulder blade, from which point Drs. Scott and Burke extracted it.

The Herald gives little Ray quite a puff as a good boy and expresses great sympathy for his father who has just buried his wife. At last accounts little Ray was still alive and stated that the shooting was accidental. He fails to elucidate, however, and no credence is given to this story. Miss Robb is about two years his senior.

A Ratty Affair.

It appears that Ed Cory, instead ot winning the contest at Lafayette Monday, lost it. The Call commenting on the affair says: "The feature ot the day was expected to be the glove contest between Brown and Cory for a purse of $70. Ten rounds were advertised but only six transpired. The contestants were crowded around by men, women and children, all eager to eee the affair. And if they expectod to Bee a genuine glove contest they were grievously sold. A few taps of the gloves on each othors ears, faces and limbs was all there was in it, and a more disappointed crowd never scattered away from the spot after it was all over with. Even the managers of the day were disappointed and disgusted. Just after the so-called prize fight took place, two women got into a wrangle over the merits of the pugilistic gentlemen and pounded each other on the head with their umbreilns. Tho women wore more hurt than the would-be pugilists themselves1 It was Fourth of July and 6o it all went.
