TAUGHT TO MAKE HAY.

A Livply Time II»1 In Instituting tlm Hliymnkerf' Lcdj^o IVertnoetluy Night.

The much talked of Hay milkers' Lodge was instituted in connection (viih iicioto Tribe, No. 100, Improved Order of Red Men, Wednesday afternoon and night amid roaring and crashing bombardments of thunder storms and mechanical cyclones, with special ordered bolts of ungreascd lightning made to strike at will. Chief Haymaker S. II. Saltzgaber and fifty companions from the Wabash Hayloft at Lafayette, performed the work satisfactorily and as far as has been learned, very effectively. His team paid their own expenses here, not for health's sake alone, but to see the job properly done, which they most certainly did. During the afternoon session the charter members of the local Haymakers, who were officers in the lodge, were shown through with much pomp and a great amount of ceremony. The work of putting the remainder through was begun promptly at 7 o'clock by which time there were more than an hundred companions assembled to help "eat up" the innocent but eager to learn Haymakers. By 1 o'clock a. m. the following Red Men in good standing had safely crossed the river and their personal attributes varied: Fred Manson, John L. Williams, Perry Sanders, John. L, Childers, Charles A. Smith, Henry T. Schenck, T. J. Buck, George 0. Williams, Will H. Eitzroth, Robert Larsh,

Mark Hays, Henry Kohl, Art B. Davis, A. C. Shobe, W. D. McClelland, John Welch, John Conrad, Ivan Myers, C. E. Smith, J. P. McClure, Robt. Davis, E. A. Brower, George McDonald. By card—D. W. Gerard, J. W. Stroh, Louis Otto, A. H. Hernley, Jasper Whitesel.

The initiatory team was in trim par excellence and at no moment was the harvesting discontinued or the hay baler stopped until each of the above tried arid true Indians had been everlastingly taught the art of making hay.

At the conclusion of the work an election of officers for Scioto Hayloft No. 100}$ was held and the following were elected:

Past Chief Haymaker—D. W. Gerard. Chief Haymaker—John L. Williams. Assistant Chief Haymaker—W. D. McClelland.

Overseer—E. A. Brower. Collector of Straws—Will H. Eltzroth.

Keeper of Bundles—Joe E. Fisher." Horn Blower—C. E. Smith. Boss Driver—Mark Hayes. Guard of Hayloft—Robt. G. Larsh. Guard of Barn Door—Perry Sanders. Following the installation of the above named officers a banquet was spread in the hall by Companion Chas. A. Smith and a corps of caterers, and the remainder of the time until 2 o'clock in the morning was spent in music, speech-making, story telling and other pleasurable ceremonies enjoyed by the modern knights of tjie tomahawk, during which time the compliments of Companion Fred C. Bandel were noted, cigars.

The instituting of the Haymakers' Association in this city was in every sense an elaborate and highly interesting event and has left life with us that cannot die, but must become more and more intensified. The Haymakers' is no dream.

A partial list of visiting Haymakers is as follows: Lafayette—S. H. Saltzgaber, E. L. Dyer, A. Doleson, A. E. Werkoff, Wm, McDaniels, A. A. Jeffres, W. H. Thompson, Geo. Warren, L. E. Franklin, Chas.

Wednesday afternoon at the Market street' crossing of the Vandalia railroad occurred, whn-t came very nearly being a fatal accident. Dr. Utter had started for the country to visit a patient and when he approached the Vatodalia tracks saw an engine switching. Part of the train was south of the crossing and part north.it being divided. A brakeman stood on one of the cars and wlien Dr. Utter stopped his horse this young man signaled for him to go on. Supposing the train would remain standing the doctor whipped up. Just as he was going on the. track, however the engine started to back and as a result the hind wheels of the doctor's buggy were struck and that which was tossed into the air. The doctor was thrown out and alighted on his head. He bled profusely and was terribly shaken up. He was carried home and Dr. Ensminger was hastily summoned. To-day- Dr. Utter is better but is still quite sick. It is not thought that his injuries are permanent.

For Sheriff*.

Richard F. King, of Walnut township, is announced in to-day's JOURNAL as a candidate for nomination of Sheriff of Montgomery county, subject to the decision of the coming Republican nominating convention. He was born forty years ago in Putnam county, some nine miles southeast of Ladoga. He grew up a farmer boy and attended in winter the common district schools. When 20 he began teaching in the public schools of Putnam county, and afterward pursued his studies at the Normal college at Danville, this State, then returned to teaching. With the means thus earned he studied medicine and received the degree of M. D. in 1,881. Shortly after he located at New R®ss, where he has continuously practiced his profession. Dr. King is a man of literary ability and accomplishments. He began life with out a penny, his father being a farmer of small means and a large family to maintain. What he has done has been due solely to his own efforts. He was six years old when the rebellion broke out, but young as he was he caught the inspiration. His father, a man near 60, each evening gathered the children around the fireside and read to them the news of the latest battle, to see if hisboys were numbered among the slain—for all the boys that were old enough were in the front. Dr. King bas never forgotten these thrilling stories and his Republicanism has never waned. His feeling for an old soldier is akin to that of a brother, and he has prepared medical evidence for many of the old boys in securing pensions, all without money and without price. Every campaign he spares no efforts laboring for the success of the Republican ticket. If Dr. King be doubted in everything else, his Republicanism cannot be questioned. He is an ex Trustee of Walnut township. Dr. King is reliable, competent and worthy and if the convention nominates him it will make no mistake.

They find that she did not visit Miss Fisher in Lidianapolis, but that she waa taken to Cincinnati by Scott Jackson. She took with her a switch of hair, •which was brought here by the officers and identified, as well as her clothing and locks of her own hair. The shoes she wore were bought of Louis & Hays by Pearl Bryan on Nov. 18 last, and the marks wore identified by the dealers. As soon as the officors interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and other members of their family they sent word to Cincinnati to have Scott Jackson, a student afc the Ohio dental college in Cincinnati arrested.

Tho mother of Scott Jackson lives here and tho families were intimate and highly respected. The Bryan family also gave information that led the officers to order the arrest of "William "Wood, the son of Rev. D. M. Wood at South Bend, Lid. Detectives Crim and McDermott of Cincinnati and Sheriff Plumer of Newport, Ky., left here last night for South Bend to arrest Wood. The families of Jackson, Wood and Bryan are all well known here and the tragedy has created the greatest excitement that was ever known in this part of Indiana.

The clew to the arrest of Jackson and Wood was given to the officers by William Earl, tho Western Union operator here. Ho saw a letter written by Scott Jackson to William Wood in which the former told tho lattor what to give Pearl Bryan and outlined treatment for her.

The officers had learned, from the post mortem at Newport that the murdered woman was about to become a mother, and thoy at once tuok the clothing and other articles to tho parents of the girl referred to in the letter. They identified the shoos, clothing and hair, and gave such information as to lead to the arrest.
