Gen. allace Compliments Him ly Telling nil Old War Story.

Indianapolis Journal: Yesterday afternoon Geu. Lew Wallace aecom--3 panied Governor Matthews and Gen.

McKee for a ride through the camp. They inspected the quarters of the men and made a general inspection of the regiments by companies. On returning to brigade headquarters General Wallace paid Gen. McKee a tine compliment. "I have been all over the camp," said the General, -'and find everything in fine condition. A moment ago I said to Gov. Matthews that the quarters of his troops would excel any ten regiments during the war in point of cleanliness and neatness. I think (Jen. McKee is just the man for the place he fills. He is cool and careful with his inen. I noticed his manner while we were among the regiments, and it was perfect. That was tiie 'way with General Grant. He was always the same =3 man. Never violent or agitated, but always calm and placid. I remember distinctly the second day of the battle of Shiloh. It was Sunday morning and the day before General Grant had been badly whipped, lie came to me early in the morning, as we about resuming the light. I sat on my horse waiting orders. General Grant rode up and in the coolest tone I ever heard said to me:

Good morning. Are you all ready'.'" I replied that I was and he rode away. As he left me he asked that I take my command to a certain point a few yards away. After he had gone a short distance I rode after him. •General. I said, have you any further orders as to my position?" 'No use your own discretion,' he replied in the same quiet manner. That was the last I saw of General Grant until about 5 o'clock in the evening. We went into the tight at once, and our troops did excellent work. In the evening General Grant rode lip to me again. 'We seem to be doing pretty well," was his simple observation. 'Yes, it looks as if we were winning the battle," I replied, and he rode away. It was then I appreciated the remarkable characteristics of General Grant. He had come tj me in the morning in the face of battle and after a day's hard fighting, in which he had been worsted. He was cool and imperturbable then. In the evening he came flushed with victory, and he was the same Grant. There was no excitement or emotiou that could be perceived. I tell you it was admirable."

Grand Army of tlie HepuMie. Gen. Lew Wallace has consented to command the Montgomery county battallion of G. A.R. comrades at the Louisville Encampment, Sept. 11, 12 and 13. It is probable that comrades from adjoining counties will join in this battallion. Ac the meeting of McPlierson Post, No. 7, next Saturday night, Aug. 3, the matter will be presented, and all comrades in the county are requested to be present, at least each Post should be represented. For information regarding lailroad fare, hotel rates, quarters, etc., communications addressed to comrade Chas. M. Travis, Crawfordsville, Ind.,' will receive prompt attention, as he has been appointed to take these matters in hand.

The Fayerweather Case.

New ork 1'ribunc: The Fayerweatlier case has once more come before the courts. The estate has not et been distributed, I5ut the lawyers wanted some more fees. An application was made Tuesday to Surrogate Arnold by the executors of the estate of the late millionaire Daniel B. Fayerweatlier for the confirmation by him of the third accounting of the executors. The confirmation was opposed by representatives of the widow on the ground that the counsel fees allowed by the executory were exorbitant. Thirty-five thousand seven hundred dollars are allowed to Arnoux, Ritch A Woodford and Sliepard & Ogden, and §5,000 to Stephen P. Nash.

Home Artists.

George Vance and Will Richmond, assisted b3* Fred Vance, are getting out some handsome scenery for the new opera house at Veedersburg. They have completed the fancy center door interior and it is a handsome piece of work. The work when finished will consist of entire stage setting, a wood scene, kitchen interior, street scene and fancy interior, together with the wings and the drop curtain. They are working on the drop curtain now and it will be an artistic work. The picture will be a scene in Pompeii before the destruction of that beautiful city, and reflects great credit on the artists. When the work on the stage settings is finished they go to Veedersburg to decorate the proscenium opening and the stage front. They are doing the work on the Music Hall stage and have put in electric lights to get the proper light effects.

PROFESSOR BYXITS SPEECH.

A Good Audience at the Court limine l.ast rrida—A "Sound Money" Address.

Hon. W. 1). Hynuin, who is making a canvass of the State in the interest of ".sound money." was greeted last Friday at the court house with a good audience of attentive listeners. It was composed of both wings of the Demoerotic party. Republicans and Populists. Mr. Hynum is an excellent talker and he riveted his auditors from the beginning to the close of his address. It was a non-partisan speech except so far as the people are divided on the financial question. He treated li is opponents, those who are in favor of the free and uulimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Hi to 1. with the utmost courtesy and consideration, and was in all respects purely argumentative from the standpoint of a mau who believes in the standard for money that is the recognized standard of the civilized nations of the earth, which is gold. Mr. Hyuum argued that the metal in our money must le intrinsically worth the sum it professes. If it is paper it must be redeemable in the amount called for by its face. It must mean what it says. In international commerce gold is the only money that is universally recog-

cause as he said it was the poor man's money. Mr. Bynum could not see why there should be one kind of money for the poor and another for the rich. Why shofild not the poor man have the same standard of value as the rich. Give the poor man the best money in the world. His share of it is small enough as it is. Do not make his share smaller by giving it to him in "cheap money," money which is not worth dollar for dollar just as much in purchasing power as any other dollar in the world. Mr. Bynum did not argue in favor of eliminating silver from its use as money. What he did favor was a policy which would maintain silver on a parity with gold. He was opposed to lowering the standard, which he contended would be the result if the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 should be adopted as the policy of the government.

Not once during his speech did he refer to his Denver speech or to the position he once occupied on this question.

A Slow Wheat Market.

The wheat buyers report that wheat is coming in very slowly. That brought in grades generally number three, although several lots of number two have been sold here.

PART FIRST

HICK'S BLUFF.

He Dishes lip a Very IIi hly Seasoned and I'epi'ery Menu for August.

1 iie first live days of the month comprisu a 11 lean storm period, with full moon on thefith. Look for very warm, with growing indications of storms from 2d to nth. Much bluster, with black clouds and some rain, will result about-the full moon. A brief change to cooler is due about 5th to 7th. Watch results of Apogee

7th. The

time of reaction will be on and about the Stli and iitli, when it will turn very warm again, and storm conditions will show themselves in the barometer and wind currents, but with little or no rain probable. The same conditions and results may be expected during the regular Vulcan period, l.'ith to Kith. here will be indications of rain, with perhaps much bluster and hot winds, but it will not be wise to rely on much rain. Some change to cooler may come about liitli to ISth. 1 he autumnal equinox will begin its piessure lightly about new moon on the JOth. The moon being new, and at its nearest approach to us on the sdme day, with a reactionary disturbance due at the same time, the probabilities 1 are strong for very forcible storms between the H)th and 22d. It will be vei-y warm at this time, and if no electric storms arise to check the heat and readjust the magnetic and electric inequalities between the earth and air. scismie tremors and heavier shocks will be felt iu many places. If storms arise, cooler weather will follow about the 21st to 23d, and prepare the way for a more hopeful condition of the weather during the rest of the month.

I he Vulcan disturbance central on the 25th, will have Mercury, Earth, Jupiter and moon at its first quarter to add to its possibilities. About 25th to 27th indications are good for rain, attended by hard storms, and followed by a radical change to cooler. Look for cloudiness with drizzling during much of the period of Mercury. The month goes out in a reactionary ipel'iod, the Mercury disturbance also reaching into September. August will therefore close with rising temperature and with growing storm conditions.

Wheat Crop of Indiana.

State Statistician Thompson is now compiling figures on the wheat yield his data being furnished by correspondents in nearly every part of the State, and from this information an approximately correct estimate may be made of the wheat crop for 1895. "The figures we gave out before harvest," said Mr. Thompson, "was 20,000.000 bushels. and we do not think our after-har-vest estimate will vary much from that. Our estimate then was an average of 7 7-100 bushels to the acre, taking the acreage of the State to be as last year—2.510.000. This bureau figured the wheat crop last year at 50,71(2,020 bushels. The estimate of the national government was higher. I tlo not think we shall be able to get very close to the wheat crop this year in our estimate, for the reason that many acres were not cut. In several places I have heard of 40-acre fields into which the harvesters did not go at all. I take it that 5,000,000 bushels of the present crop will be required for seed and about 10,000,000 to eat. According to our figures, this would leave the amount in farmers' hands to be sold only 5,000,0(10 bushels,"

lioono County Fair.

The Boone County Fair will be held at Lebanon, August l'J to 23 inclusive. The managers of the exposition have never made a promise that they have' not fulfilled nor offered a premium' that they have not paid. An additional attraction this year will be the bicycle races on school day—Tuesday. The prizes offered has attracted the attention of some of the best wheelmen in the country. Two thousand dollars in purses is offered in the speed ring on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Write at once to Secretary E. G. Darnell for premium list or any information desired in regard to the forthcoming exhibition.

A Big WeddiiiR.

One of the most largely attended weddings ever occurring in the county took place Sunday night in Sugar Creek township. Over 700 people were present to witness the marriage of John Harriman and Miss Fannie Harmeson, two of the popular young people of that community. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. C. Campbell and the young people were attended to the'' altar by Edgar Ryne and Miss Belle Campbell.
