DANIEL CAST IN.
His Bondsman ^vas Afraid He Would Depart Unceremoniously.
Away up in the fertile fields beyant Darlington lives Daniel White. White has cultivated a stronger tendency to steal his neighbors' sacks with the wheat in them than to cultivate his own wheat with which to fill his sacks. An indictment has been returned against Daniel and he will be yanked up before the throne and made to answer why he has so cultivated. Last spring he. Daniel, procured a score or more of sacks of Milton Waugh, filled them with wheat and sold it in the open markets of Frankfort. Until Monterday his father-in-law, Almond Davis, has been on Daniel's recognizance bond. For the reason, no doubt, that Mr. Davis feared an unceremonious departure of his son-in-law, he had himself released of responsibility and Daniel cast into the receptacle of the unjust.

Special to The Journal. INPIAXAPOLIS, Sept. 4.—Seven inches of rain fell this morning between 1 and 7 o'clock.

Many cellars are flooded and the loss in the business parts of the city will be large, distributed among many firms. Five blocks in Washington street are under water. Lines of street cars are tied up and the Union railway tracks are so deep in water that travel is impeded..,.-,.
In Memory.
Orval Martin Peck, son of William and Emorine Peck, was born Sept. 7, 1893, and died Sept. 1, 1895, aged 1 year. 11 months and 24 days. While death is no respector of persons, we are made to feel that sometimes he claims for his own the fairest and dearest ones, and while papa and mamma can no longer clasp to their bosom the one they have so much loved, and while his baby voice is to them forever stilled, yet by faith they can view the heavenly land and hear his little voice echo back from the angel chorus and know that he is with Jesus, who has bid the children come. So father and mother can only look to Him, who alone can bind together the broken-hearted aDd comfort the bowed down, and through whom they can meet their darling baby.
Sle^i) on in thy beauty, Thou sweet angel ehiUl,— By.sorrow unbliirhted.
By sin undellled. Like the dove to the ark 1 Thou hast flown to thy rest, SiFrom the wild sea of strife
To the home of the blest.
On Monday at 12 o'clock short services were held at the grave by Rev. Trotter, after which all that was mortal of little Orval was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' cemetery at Darlington.
The Lew Wallace Veteran Battalion.
Gen. Wallace suggests that posts and comrades accompanying him to the G. A. R. Encampment at Louisville, practice the following exercises from Hardee's Tactics:
To fall in and size. March. Form company—always two ranks. Allignment—right and left dressing. Facings—right, left and about. Company halted, to wheel into platoons and sections.
Company halted, to march by the right or left flank, always doubling. Company marching by a flank, to halt and face front—undoubling.
Company marching to the front, to break into platoons or sections. Company marching by platoons to reform company.
The following points are specially to be observed in marching. If moving by the right flank, the guide of each four is on the right. While each guide follows his file leader, and keeps the interval, the other men of the four touch elbows toward him.
The battalion will assemble at the corner of Third and Kentucky streets, Louisville, at 10 o'clock, September 11 1895, to take part in the parade.
Secured Exemption License.
Several of the teachers of the city and township schools hold licenses of such excellent grades that while they continue to teach in the county they are exempt from further examinations. The legislature of last winter requiring the teaching of scientific temperance in all grades of the public schools, made it necessary for all teachers holding exemption licenses to pass examination on the new subject and secure such an excellent grade that they must be exempt in this new branch also. The following among our city teachers, holding exemption licenses, secured their exemption grades at the July examination: Misses Anna Willson, Anna M. Beck, Hannah Muhleisen, Beulah I. Hills, Belle Moore, Ida M. Hall and Mrs. S. G. Willson.
