To many inquiries that are made to me regarding the death of W, .J, Bryant, the head sawyer at the Henry it Cor! iu mill 1 wish to make the following statement: The mill is situated on oti the east side of the Vaudalia railroad track just at the edge of town and there is a cut of four or live feet. On the east bank is a short walking board v. id on it is nailed heavy cleats to prevent slipping. Mr. Bryant was walking up this board, dinner bucket in band, and his foot slipped from the board and he fell forward on his stomach and the large truss which he wore came against one of the cleats on the board, resulting in his death. We hauled him to his home and he told his wife how he was hurt and that he had now completed his labors on this earth. lie gradually grew worse and on Tuesday morning he made his will, leaving all to his wife, Elizabeth, and at her death to go to her adopted son, John Minton and baby. He said: "Yesterday I was in good health going to work. To-day I am making my last will and preparing for death."
Mr. Bryant began work for me twen-ty-six years ago and has been with me ever since. During all this time I never had a fault or a complaint of neglect to make of him. Always on time, ever ready to obey orders and make my interest his. He bad proved himself a gentleman worthy of trust and confidence and in his death the firm of Corbin X- lienry loses an employe we cannot replace very e-sy. He baved enough to make a good home, well furnished and some money in the bank. He was a member of the Christian church, having embraced that faith in early life and was always kind aid charitable to all and a man whose love and devotions were centered in his family and their happiness. The bereaved wife, son and family have the heartfelt sympathy of each and all of Mr. Bryant's fellow workmen of the mill. Mr. Bryant was an Odd Fellow and a member of the Labor Union. These organizations and old soldiers turned out to his funeral and paid their respects to their departed comrade. We lose a most excellent, citizen and a man of great worth in the death of our beloved W. J. Bryant. Respectfully. John A. Cowsin.

Last Saturday on south Green street the horse of A. S. Clements ran off. As it approached the blacksmith shop of Win. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey was in the street with the horse of Wm. Galey. The Galey horse frightened by the approaching runaway started to cross the street and Mr. Ramsey ran out to stop him. Just as he reached the tnidule of the street he was struck by the Clements horse and knocked down, the buggy passing over his body. He was rendered unconscious and was carried into the shop, Dr. Jones giving medical attention. It was at first feared that his injuries were serious but he soon regained consciousness an'd was taken home. Beyond a terrible shock he suffered no injury.

State Medical Board met at Indianapolis last week and will remain in session a number of days until it gets its table clcared of the pending applications for lecense. As yet no license has been granted and none refused up to Thursday, but a large number were hold up, some for little irregularities iu the form of application, and others because the board was not satisfied with the diploma or record of the applicant, but Thursday the work of weeding out the professional men, who, iu the opinion of the board, are nut entitled to practice, began, and there will be not a little wailing and gnashing of teeth and a whole lot of litigation as the result.
The board has before it only about 2,000 applications from the physicians of the State, while it is known there are about 0,000 in actual practice, and the board is anxious that those who have not sent in their applications, hurry them along.

The severest, electrical storm of the season occurred last Saturday between the hours of 1 and 7 a. in., and during that interesting period the timid pulled pillows over their ears and prayed like good fellows, for the cannonading in the clouds was loud and frequent. There were several severe crashes and numerous trees suffered about the town. The worst case reported comes from west Market street where the residence of'C K. Ellis was struck at the beginning of the storm. The weather boarding on the west side was fairly torn off and piled up, while plastering was knocked from the walls by the basketful. Miss Edith Ellis was in bed in a room on the west side and was severely shocked, being unable to see for quite a time. The other members of the family, however, suffered no material inconvenience or injury.
On east Main street a natural gas escape on a telephone pole was set on fire and the ten-foot blaze which flared up for some time was suggestive of the llambeaux districts of the belt. In Morningsidc an electric light lamp was struck and demolished. Several persons who were out of doors about 0 o'clock were shocked upon the occurence of a severe explosion but no one was badly hurt.

J. Deitrieh, of W»-eland, was the hero ol the State shooting tournament at Kokorao last week. Not only was he the oldest man in the tournament but he was one of the very best shots there aud he vanquished some noted marksmen. He made the biggest run of the tournament and won the most valuable prize which was offered. He made a straight in one match of twenty and immediately after Ecored forty-eight, in a match of fifty, thus having only two misses out of seventy shots. This work by a man over sixty years of age was wonderful and he was loudly applauded on all occasions. He made a most enviable record in shooting circles aud came away laden with honors.
A -an Trick. .,
To the Editor of the Journal. Last week a fine Jersey cow belonging to E. C. Noland was poisoned. The one that did the poisoning is marked and the neighbors are greatly incensed over the matter. Any one. who is so low down and utterly lost to decency as to throw a btone under cover of night againsta large window of double strength glass and break it is none too good to poison a cow that is supply the family and others with milk. Fortunately, however, for those who use the milk fresh, the cow received the poison after the milking instead of just before. Citizkx.

Sunday proved a typical linccalaureate Sunday and Center church was filled with large congregations both morning ami evening.
rlhe
altar
was banked with (lowers and plants and the music was excellent. In the morning after the Senior class hail taken their seats the invocation was otVend by President Hurronghs. Rev. .1. T. Henderson, 'S'.i, of Pipestone, Minn., led the responsive reading, Dr. Hovey, '."2, of Xuwburyport, Mass., gave the scriptural reading and upon the conclusion of the service Dr. Balluntine, of Oberlin, Ohio, offered the benediction. Dr Burroughs chose as the subject of his baccalaureate sermon "The Return of Faith."
In the evening the commencement setmon was delivered by Dr. Ballantine. At this service prayer was offered by Dr. S. V. Leech, the scriptural reading by Rev. 11. D. Trick and the prayer by Dr. Thomson. His subject was "The Law of Wealth," and he preached from the following text: "For unto every one that hath shall be given and he shall have abuudauca but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.''
Matthew xxv, 20. Dr. Ballentine said in part:
'"There are three worlds in which wealth may be reckoned—the world of matter, the world of thought and the world of personal relations, the personal spiritual world. Every man was intended by his Creator, under normal conditions, to be continually enlarging his possessions iu all of these three worlds. The curse of millions of people is lack of ambition. They are content to stay in poverty, physical, mental and spiritual. They have no wants. Where there are no wants there is no industry and no progress.
I he text enunciates the law under which each of us is growing either richer or poorer. It seems to have botti a favorite saying of Jesus since it is given five times in the gospels. Not the fortunate but the faithful nr:s the favorites of heaven. The law of progress which God has imposed upon us is simply that of the improvement of opportunity. He who has gains to show by good use of present opportunities will receive larger opportunities. God waits impatient for us to reach the point where he can give us more. But we must take at least one step to meet him. For the limit, is soon reached beyond which it is impossible for others, without our eo-opera-tion, to give us gifts.
"I know many a father who would delight above all things to give his sou a college education. The father is ready to pay tuition and board bills and to buy books: he would like to open for his son the doors: into the storehouse of wisdom which the ages have accumulated and which the choice spirits of each generation have handed down to those of the next. The word college is one of the most suggestive in the language: but it stands for the creatu of the best thought of mankind. If God is to give you more and larger gifts in any sphere He must be able to join them on to something which you have gained by faithful use of present gifts. It is just like the game of douiinos: God's piece must find at the end of your line something to match, with.
"After all the value of a thing is measured mainly by the power of use and appreciation in the owner. Make the man large enough and there will be no trouble about the size of his estate. Ruskin, when a young man, owned every important work of art in Europe. Asa Gray owned all the plants in America, A patriot like Lincoln can say 'my country,'and own the whole of it. Rich is he who has gained so broad a sympathy, so keen an appreciation of beauty or goodness aud heroism and so inclusive a benevolence that every grand thing in the universe is his to enjoy and every noble nature is his personal friend and God himself is his God."
On lh» .Stone Pile,
Jim McSamee was drunk Saturday night and was fighting drunk. He started to wipe the town off the map and was making progress when the police interposed objections. These objections wore set at defiance by the war-like Jim, who became so wildly obstreperous as to require the united efforts of four policemen to drag him to jail. He was badly battered up and Monday was sentenced to twenty days on the stone pile on a charge of intoxication. If he is real good while there the case against him for resisting an officer will not be pushed.

A QUEER CASE.

Last Saturday Lee Long had sold at auction a gray horse to satisfy a six weeks' board bill chalked up against it at his feed stable. And thereby hangs a tale. Some six weeks ago a stranger drove down to Long's yard in a buggy the gray horse sold last Saturday lie attached thereto. He said he wanted to put up for the night and would call next morning. Agreeable to his promise he appeared for his rig ths following day and sat for awhile in the office talking. While he sat there two strangers entered and made some inquiries concerning a stolen horse—a gray horse. Thev asked to look through the barn and the attendants stepped out with them to show them through. 1 hey failed to find the property they sought but when they' returned the man who had brought the gray horse to the barn the day before was 'gemeHe did not return that day nor has he since been seen. It became all too evident to Mr. Long as the days passed on that he had stolen that rig and had abandoned it when the owners of another stolen outfit appeared in quest of that which they had lost. The fellow's fear was needless and he lost his plunder by a curious accident.
