Railroad Man Cured.

Mr. Tom E. Kline, an engineer, forty years of age, residing at 640 East Ohio street, Indianapolis, Ind., who has run an engine for two years on the Wabash road, and thirteen years on the Monon road, much of that time having been the engineer on the fast newspaper train has, for the past ten years, suffered from indigestion in its worst form. He had a continual heavy feeling in his stomach, so that he had to lie in bed to ease his pain. This indigestion caused chronic diarrhoea and sleeplessness. He had to be very careful as to his diet, and could only eat as simple a food as potatoes sparingly. He took four boxes of LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS, and now he can eat anything. His digestion is perfect he can sleep well, and he gives it as his opinion that the medicine does everything that is claimed for it. He heartily recommends it to all persons suffering from indigestion or any stomach disorder.

FARMERS' IDEAS.

They Kxi'lisnge Vlewn at Darlington at a Meeting of the runners' Club— Prizes Won. i.

[.Special correspondence of The Journal.]

DAHMNSTON, Oct. 18.—Horace Greely at one time said the way to resume was to tesume. The farmers of Sugar Creek and Franklin townships now say the way to progress is to progress and for the furthur advancement of their cause they meet semi-annually in Darlington for the purpose of exchanging ideas on the various duties arising on the farm. They fully realize the fact that to be successful farmers they must study as well as work six days every week. They held their third meeting in the M. E. church at this place last Thursday, which was a very successful meeting and one full of interest to all in attendance. The house was full in the morning, crowded in the afternoon and full to overflowing at night, showing that the farmer of to-day is at least progressive and seeking after knowledge. A good programme had been arranged and when the President, C. E. Butler, called the meeting to order, all were ready for duty. After singing by the choir, Rev. Rayle read a scriptural lesson and led in prayer. Then the programme was taken up and carried out as printed in THE JOURNAL with one or two exceptions. The discuesion on "Blue Grass and Clover," led by M. B. VVaugh for blue grass and W. B. Mount for clover, was very interesting and created some lively exchange of thoughts by the champions of each and was enjoyed by all. In the afternoon Prof. A. W. Bitting, of Purdue, was present and gave an interesting talk on the old subject, "Hog Cholera." Although his subject was an old one, he advanced some new ideas and had he but promised a cure he would have met with a warm reception from the hog raisers present, as they are looking for that one .remedy at the present time. At the night session L. W. Cochran had written a very able article on the outlook for raising horses, and, being unable to attend, sent it to the President, and it was read by W. E. Slavens, showing Mr. Cochran to be well versed in horse literature and a friend to good horses. J. A. Mount, before entering into his subject, that of "Sheep Raising," paid the town and institute a very high compliment 9n the success of these meetings, telling us that not one in ten of the county institutes over the State equalled this. He then very ably discussed the raising of sheep for profit. The most interesting part of the meeting to the ladies was the talk given by Miss Jewell on "Winter Flowers, the Better Varieties, Their Care, etc., During the Long Winter Months." The speeches, the papers, the recitations, the singing aud the institute were all good. But to some, perhaps, the best part was the exhibit of fruit, vegetables, etc. No finer show was ever seen as to quality, as all was admired by the crowd and the judges had no easy task to choose the winners. Thirteen pecks of apples were there. W. J. Phelps received the 1st prize of 81.50 W. H. Mount, 2d prize of §1.00, paid by W. D. Harlow, eight pecks of great big Irish potatoes were there. John A. Dodd received 1st prize, of SI.50, John P. Colman, 2nd prize 81.00, paid by W. C. Raper. Four pecks of sweet potatoes, the oniy showed, this not being a good year for them. 01. Delashmit look 1st prize, SI.50 S. P. Paddock, 2nd, 81.00. Paid by S. S. Martin. Nine piles of corn, of twenty ears each, showed a sample of the big corn crop. Benjamin Paddock took 1st in this display, which was SI.50 Frank Seybold, 2nd, 81.00, paid by J. A. Herryman. Four pounds of the prettiest butter captured TUB CKAWFOKDSVILLI-: JouitNAL for the next twelve months, and Lucinda Booher's name will appear on the margin of the paper. One good little loaf of bread takes the Darling ton Echo, and it will be sent to Jennie Paddock, while this was only an experiment all are convinced that it can Joe made a great success and will be one of the leading features of these meetings. J. M. Harshbarger, of Ladoga was here and assisted in the good work. As President of the county institute he asked this club to assist in perfecting the arrangements for a County Institute. It was decided to hold the next meeting in Crawfordsville in December, M. B. Waugli was chosen Secretary, with power to go ahead and arrange for the meeting. The club then adjourned to meet the third Thursday in March, 18U6.

A BLAZING BARN.

Kino Stock ami Valuable Property Destroyed Last Night.

Montgomery county bu- been peculiarly unfortnate this year in the burning of barns where live stock has perished. No less than a dosen cases have been reported and some have been very costly losses.

Last Friday night Wm. Pickett, of south of Waj'netown.heard a crackling as he supposed caused by the kitchen fire. He soon discovered, however, that his big barn was all ablaze and not a thiug was he able to save. It was burned to the ground with all its contents, including two fine mules and a valuable horse. Ten tons of hay. his grain and farming implementsall went up. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary.

A Mastodon lU'lio.

Attica Lcd'jcr: The lower jaw of a mastodun has attracted many people to the home of F. M. Beadle, three miles east of Newtown, during the past week. Mr. Beadle discovered it lying iti a creek on his farm with the teeth exposed, so that it was an easy task to excavate it. The jaw is intact with five groups of teeth, one group being gone. The jaw is shaped, the anterior pointed extremity having on the internal surface along wide groove for the tongue. The jaw weighs 92 pounds, is 2 feet and 9 inches in length and 22 inches wide, and one of the teeth weighs 5 pounds. The skeleton in its entirety must have been 12 feet high and 18 or 20 feet long. This monster animal existed many thousand years ago, before the advent of man. Representatives from Wabash College and Purdue University have pronounced this a fine specimen and have endeavored to possess it.

Eight Cases Compromised.

Frankfort News: When the Barnum & Bailey show exhibited, June 24, a party of eight persons from Wingate, Montgomery county, attended the performance, making the journey to and from Frankfort over the Clover Leaf railroad, with the assurance of the road, they claimed, that the night train would on the return trip stop at Wingate. Instead the passengers were carried on to the next station and were compelled to walk a distance of two or three miles to their homes. The filing of eight suits for damages in the sum of SI,000 each was the result, and to-day these cases were compromised by the railroad company paying S100 in each case.

Union Township Sunday School Convention. The Sunday schools of Union township held a very excellent convention at the Otteroein U. B. church Oct. 17. It was very largely attended, schools from all over the township being represented, and the programme was very interesting and instructive throughout.

A splendid dinner was served by the ladies of the church, and all went to their homes feeling that the day had been well speut.

Mrs. Geo. Smith, of Mount Zion U. B. church, was elected president, for the ensuing year. The next meeting will be held at Young's Chapel in May.

A New Uuilding.

The Indiana Wire Fence & Nail Company has begun the erection of a new building at their plant near the Junction. This addition will be located in the open space between the present buildings and will be retdy for occupancy within thirty days. The building will be for «the new machines to be added to the working force of the company and will also be for the operation of a private electric light plant which will be put in. The electric plant will not be put in for a couple of months, but when once in operation will be of great benefit to the WOrkS.

A Serious Kunaway.

Mrs. Chauncey Snodgrass while driving through the campus last Saturday, accompanied by Mrs. George Abraham, her horse became frightened and ran off. Mrs. Snodgrass held on the lines and was quite badly hurt by being kicked by the horse, though not seriously. Mrs. Hirst jumped out and it was thought at first that her leg was fractured, but it proved to be a serious jar. Mrs. Abraham escaped unhurt.

The Coining Winter,

Hicks, the weather guesser, announces that January,1890, promises to be a very extreme period of winter storms and cold. The same causes will then perturb and intensify the

elements

that existed at the time of the destructive cold waves in February 1895, with the exception that

has lost his intensifying force over the situation at that time.

"HIPPITY CUSS!"

PiiiliHtino Kield the Scene of a Spanking Foot Hall Content, Krotn Which Wabash ComcH OH Victor.

The result of the foot ball game between Wabash and DePauw on Philistine Field last Saturday was in the nature of a surprise to the DePauw contingent who came up, as they supposed, to a barbecue and who, after gathering on the picnic grounds, had the woods burned over them, themselves becoming the roast meat for those whom they came to devour. The beribboned "rooters" had money enough to burn a wet dog and most graciously did they contribute toward the liquidation of the board bills of the indigent and meek-eyed Wabash youths, who smiled not as they covered the coin of old DePauw. DePauw was liberal aud posted even money that her fire-fed youths would double the score made by Wabash. The men with money were particularly gay and kittenish before time was called, but long before the first half was over they strangely resembled the lad who swallowed moth balls under the impression that they were candy marbles.

Wabash played a hard and snappy game and the "yellow neck" which was wont to crop out last year never once manifested itself. If Wabash continues to improve as she has done, she will have in a few weeks afar better team than she has ever had.

DePauw played an ugly game and slugged entirely too much, injuring quite a number of the Wabash players. DePauw's game, however, while vicious, is Dot a winning one. Following is a synopsis of the game:

Wabash won the toss and took the west goal, thereby gaining the advantage of the strong west wind and the sun. DePauw kicked off for 25 yards. The ball was advanced to middle of field and was lost on downs. Wabash soon gained the ball by downB. Ristine punted outside. DePauw soon lost on downs. Reed, Clouser and llistine advanced the ball through the line and Clouser carried it over, twen-ty-five minutes after starting. Ristine kicked goal. Score, Wabash 0, DePauw 0. pePauw gained 15 yards on the kickoff. The ball was carried back and forth with much fumbling on DePa iw's part until time was called.

The second half was a battle royal, neither side scoring. Ristine kicked off 35 yards DePauw gained 10 yards and then lost by a fumble DePauw gained ball on downs and advanced it to within 1 foot of the goal, where, through magnificent work of the Wabash team, they lost on downs. Ristine punted 25 yards and Wabash got the ball by fumble. Pattison gained 15 yards around end. The ball was then lost on downs, but soon retaken by DePauw's fumble. DePauw gained ball by fumble and Pulse punted 40 yarns. By the fine runs of Pattison and Clouser the ball was advanced and the game closed with the ball within 15 yards of DePauw's goal. Score, Wabash 0, DePauw 0.

The lineup was as follows: WABASH. DEPAUW. ltaucli center IJutchul Demareo right guard Pavls Farrell left guard G, Boiler Ashman right tackle KwiDg Mulroney lest tackle 1'. Roller I'laiinigan right end Sandy Paulson left end Gavin Sullivan tjuarter back Uulck lteud left half back Shireraan Clouser right half back Hall Hiatlne full buck Pulse left half back Wlgger

rimtent In tlie World.

General Superintendent Lowell of of the Monon was in the city last week and stated that the new Monon Uyer will be the fastest train in the world on a single track. Deducting the time of the nine stops it will make the run from Monon to Bloomington, a distance of 133 miles in 100 minutes. The fastest time in the world is made by the Empire Express which on a double track, makes 143 miles in 105 minutes.

The New Flag.

The new flag, which will be the old one reorganized after July 4th, 1890, on on order from the war department, will consist of six rows of stars, eight stars in the first, fourth and sixth and seven stars in each of the other three rows. The forty-five stars represent each of the several States, including Utah, which will be admitted into the Union accordance with the United States revised statutes on July 4th next.

PART FIRST

KENNEDY PAROLED.

The New Market Man Released From 1'riHun Hy Governor Matthews.

Special to the Journal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 21.—This morn- -'i ing Governor Matthews paroled"' Charles W. Kennedy, who was sent to the prison North in October, 1893, for a term of three years. The parole was issued because Kennedy is reported as being down with consumption and likely to live but a short time. The Chaplain of the prison and prominent citizens of Crawfordsville were here last week to intercede in his behalf. [Kennedy was convicted for being an accessory of Wm. Richardson, who stole a horse and buggy belonging to Charles Servies, of New Market. Richardson was caught in Indianapolis and stated that he had been put up to the crime by Kennedy. Kennedy was exceedingly unpopular at New Market and a hue and cry was raised against him. He was arrested, although bitterly protesting lT.b innocence. At the trial, which New Market attended en masse, it was a question of his word against Richardson's. The jury believed Richardson,and Kennedy was convicted, being sent up for three years. He went up without a threat or a curse and proved a model prisoner. He asked before going to have a talk with Richardson, but Richardson would not see him. Richardson was released on his good behaviour but his health failed from that time. He actually pined away and died some months ago.]

Mistaken Identity.

A rather amusing story, which hu its genesis in the exaggerated ringlets of our excellent friend, Dr. H. A. Tucker, couies up from Terre Haute, carried by the historical small bird that has been so instrumental in the dissemination of knowledge.

It seems that the advent of Dr. Tucker in the town of 2:0134 track was not far removed in time from that of a wild west show, with its customary galaxy of Indians and knights of the lariat. Now, the advent of the show made a deeper impression on the juvenile mind than the coming of the man of God and thereby hangs a tale, Shortly after his arrival Dr. Tucker started out to make some pastoral calls and finally arrived at the door of a worthy parishioner whose ten year old daughter answered the bell and gazed upon the guest with the intense wonderment of artless childhood. The following colloquy is said to have ensued:

"Well, little girl are your parents in?" "No thir, but thister Mary is in." "All right, then I'll see Miss Mary," said the Doctor, stepping into the hall while the little girl, standing on the foot of the stairs called shrilly out: "Thister Mary! Thister Mary! One of the cowboys is down here and wants to see you!"

ltats.

Gee Grimes, the eccentric horseman, well known in this city and a brother of Sam Grimes of the Times, keeps his stable of speed horses at his farm at Guion, Parke county, says the Brazil Times. Gee has an idea that the one thorn in the human flesh is a rat. He keeps a number of big, ugly black snakes on his farm to rid the place of rats, who stand no more chance than a rabbit at a dog light. These snakes can be found at any time of the day or night crawling about the stable or or the house. A favorite resort is on the veranda where they swing back and forth in the sun. Sometimes they venture into the kitchen,but they have come to know the punishment that is hidden in a broomstick, and a move of the cook in the direction of this household necessity will cause a stampede in the whole snake family. His family have no terrors of these reptiles whatever, but are only awaiting till Gee leaves |home for a day or two when there wj.41 be wholesome slaughter of the snakes.

Two Fires.

The fire department was called out Monday morning by the burning of the barn of Ned McCarty, on north Walnut street. The barn was a loss together with its contents, considerable hay and other feed being stored there. It was set on fire by small boys and ®ere was no insurance.

While the department was busy there it was summoned to the residenee of Wm. Barry, on Harrison street. This place had taken fire from sparks on the roof. The damage here was not great.

Badly Hurt.

Mrs. Charley Hirst sustained morese-' viM'e injuries in the Snodgrass runaway Su'111 day than was at first supposed. One of the small bones in her ankle

US broken and she will be confined to her bed for some weeks.
