TOM INITIATED.

He Quickly Becomes Conversant With Some of the Delightful Customs and Conventionalities of the Hoosier Athens.

When Tom Cooper awoke Wednesday and heard the news, he felt like going back to rest and cutting the weights of the folding bed.

Tom came here from Kokomo to enter Wabash College. lie arrived last Tuesday at the Vaudalia station and went to the home of°W. T. Brush, who is a relative, to spend the night. When he told the baggage man at the station that he would leave his trunk out there until morning the baggageman sized him up at once as a stranger in a strange land and went off muttering something to the effect that if people insisted on giving their things away he couldn't help it. '"iM

Tuesday was the regularly appointed night for the weekly burglary of the Vandalia station. The employes left at the usual time leaving the keys to the baggage room hanging in a conspicuous place so that the burglars wouldn't have to hurt their corns kicking the doors open. Alight lunch and a box of cigars, together with a polite request to please leave the stove up, were also left in plain sight. This morning the trunk of Mr. Cooper, of Kokomo, was found kicked open per contract. Several little nick naclts had been abstracted, to-wit: Two new suits of clothes (including Tom's Sunday "long") anew Knox hat, six dress shirts, summer outing coat, manicure set, New Testament in Russia leather, several pairs of half hose, several neckties. etc., etc. The police have not landed the burglars, who are probably being entertained at Darlington to-day as dude members of the Rockville council on a junketing tour to inspect the buried mastodon with a view to electing him mayor.

The Hackneys.

Much has been said for the past few years about the Hackney horse being the only horse sought for in the Eastern cities for fine coach, carriage, tandem, four-in-hand and park horses on account of being so compactly built and having that superbly high knee and hock action, and in order to ascertain that this be true we have spent some time in investigating the great national horse show catalogue, held at New York last fall, the largest horse .-•how in America, and we find there were SS.ISO paid in premiums for Hackneys alone, while there were only §:sr0 paid for French coach, German coach and Cleveland bays combined. At the Philadelphia open air horse show to be held May 2!) to June li, $2,845 is offered in premiums for Hackneys, which only 8150 is offered to all other coach breeds combined. At the combination sale in New York last November 200 head of high stepping horses were sold (most of which were grade Hackneys) for SOI.000, making an average of over §800 per head. Hackneys were introduced to Montgomery county about three years ago by Lew Cochran, and since then a great many breeders have made a specialty of them. The result has been to improve the grade of our horses very much.

Deatli of Mamlie l'arker.

MissMandie Parker died of consumption at New Richmond. Sunday, April 22. She was seventeen years of age and an orphan, her parents. James and Lavina Parker, having both died some time ago, and thus at an early age she was thrown upon the world alone. She was not a member of any church, but her life had been above reproach and she expressed herself as having no fear of death. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church on Tuesday at LO o'clock. Rev. R. 11. (iott. of Mellot. officiating. Interment at New Richmond cemetery.

Tell the Truth.

Advertising what you haven't got. or what you don't do is worse than not advertising at all. You can't well be too careful about this. Make your ads. strictly trim in letter and in spirit. I believe that the majority of business men do this now, but as it is the most important thing about advertising, it will bear repeating and reiterating.

When merchants and laymen come to consider advertising in its legitimate character of "business news," it will pay better—pay the advertiser better and the advertisee too.

VV. A. BATES.

No Price Set.

The committee of the council to which was referred the question of purchasing the water works reports that up to date the syndicate has set no price on the plant. The Chicago man agement deplores the existing condi tion of affairs and states that it will state its selling price as soon as the New York officers are heard from. Just what effect the organization of the new company will have on the city's desire to buy remains to be seen.

SMOTE THE GFNTILES.

The Orators ot the Sucker State Cannot Withstand the Fluent Eloquence of the Wayman.

Tuesday was the stated time for the oratorical contest between the Wayman colored Literary Society of this city and the Douglas colored Society of Danville, 111. The Danville orators, Messrs. Wade and Hoffman, arrived Tuesday afternoon, attired in their gallantry and good clothes. They did not look like victims but they were. They were marked men. For several years it has not been considered etiquette to sail out and meet your guests with hickory clubs and some people have gone so far as to deprecate the habit of knocking your guests down at the front door, kicking their skulls in, firing them out the back door and setting the bull dog on them. The pink and white equitette must often get off the track while the cannon ball of necessity shoots by. It was just that way Tuesday. It was necessary for those folks from the salubrious climate of Danville to leave their bones (metaphorically speaking) to bleach on the arid plains of Crawfordsville. The Wayman orators wanted that debate. The A. M. E. church was crowded at the appointed hour and every candidate in town was conspicuously present, all of them refusing to take change for a quarter at the door. Gen. Wallace was called to preside over the convention and the following judges, good and true, were sworn to hear the argument and a true verdict render: Ex-Councilman G. W. L. Brown, Postmaster Voris, Manager Mace Tovvnsley, Judge Isaac Davis, Hon. Henry D. Vancleave, Dr. J. R. Etter and Councilman Robinson.

The question was "Resolved, that the negro voters should divide their suffrage." The Wayman had the negative and right nobly did her champions go after the bacon of those fellows from the wild and wooly West. Messrs. Wade and Hoffman both fought well and died game, but they died. When the fierce phi!lipics of Mr. Drake descended upon them their arguments were scattered like snow flakes in the winter's wind. Even had the eloquence of Mr. Drake not sufficed there would have been no withstanding the potent "hokey-bos" of Prof. Robert Burton, who had his whole famous collection with him, including the celebrated live frog and the talismanic 'possum foot which when touched has never failed to bring forth the desired "seben-leben." Prof. Burton's argument was also a thing of beauty and went straight to the heart. At the conclusion of the argument the judges retired and soon returned a verdict in favor of the Wayman. the vote standing 5 to 4. Great enthusiasm prevailed and the occasion ended happily. Col. Drake and Prof. Burton received the congratulations'of all for their splendid work and for proving that they were bushwhacked out of a favorable verdict last week on the bloody sands of Danville.

Our merchants complain of dull times. The measles arc raging in this place and vicinity.

Ed Douglas. John Jones and Barney Puckett narrowly escaped severe injury last Monday evening as they were returning home from work. They were in a buckboard drawn by a horse belonging to Mr. Puckett. The holdback strap gave way allowing the vehicle to run onto the horse, thereby frighting him and .causing- the runaway. Luckily no one was hurt but the buckboard and harness have the appearance of having been in a fearful wreck.
