Over Nino Ilnnilieil l'eoplo I.oave for I.afiiyetie tor the ICocl Men's l'ouwow Yestercluy.

Uy all odds the most largely patronized excursion that ever left the city was that one which pulled out from the Monon station yesterday with the local order of Red Men and visitors bound for the third annual pow-wow of the Wabash Valley District Association which occurred atLafayette yesterday. Over two hundred braves of the Scioto Tribe with scarlet feathers in their hats, and seven hundred palefaces bent on a pleasure trip, composed the crowd. Schweitzer's band accompanied the local order and enlivened the the crowd, while waiting for the train, with well rendered airs. The excursion train was made up of eleven coaches, and it is superilous to remark that every available inch of standing room was occupied. When the Big

Four passenger train from the west yesterday pulled in at the junction a car containing the Red Men of Waynetown wasswitched to the Monon tracks and coupled to the excursion train.

At 0 o'clock the train left the station. At 11 o'clock Agent Clark received a telegram from Lafayette stating that the train arrived on time and without mishap.

Weekly Cmi Bulletin.

Moderately warm days and cool nights prevailed, with no rain, except on Saturday and Sunday, when local rain fell in the central and northern portions but more rain is needed everywhere, especially for corn, which is now in such a stage of advancement that needs rain to mature well in the central and norther portions it is in fair condition in most localities earlyplanted corn eaaed well, but now nearly all corn is advancing but little. Potatoes are ripening, but they have been injured by bugs and, lately, by dry weather the crop will probably bly not be very good in many fields the tops are large, but the potato is small. Good crops of millet are being cut young clover promises a good yield of seed nearly everywhere, and cutting has begun. Buckwheat is in bloom. Tobacco advanced only slowly during the dry weather. Vegetables are plentiful, but, in localities, cabbages are being injured much by worms. In the southern portion the tomato crop does not promise well, out there are better prospects in the central and northern portions. Beans promise a good yield. Sweet potatoes grow well. Melons are not as good a crop as last year. Beekeepers have secured a good crop of fine honey. The threshing of good wheat and oats crops continhed, and in many localities threshing is ended. Many apples are still falling off, but in most localities the trees are quite full yet and will yield fairly well. Fall plowing progresses only slowly the ground is too hard and dry in many fields of the southern portion plowing has been suspended. Livestock is in fair condition.

GEORGIE COULTER.

A Beautiful Tribute to 11 Young Umly ol' Unusual Mental Kmlowmeiit.

The Chicago Interior has the following notice of Miss Georgie Coulter, whose untimely death occurred a few weeks ago at Winona. It will be load with interest by the numerous friends of the family in this city. The Interior says: "The record of a young girl's life has to do with the privacy of home and the companionship of intimate friends. Its immediate inlluences has not extended far, but it is none the less powerful. Georgie Coulter was a girl of 6uch unusual mental endowment and brightness of spirit that the home and the intimate friends were ready to believe great things of her future. Abounding in physical vigor there was no game or sport or outing that called for fresh air and vigorous exercise which did noi strongly attract her. The summer outings of each year were to her one long delight, and camping and fishing were far more to her than any conventional summer resort. Her bent of mind was decidedly literary

An omniverous and retentive reader, she had developed the power of appreciation so as to grasp the purpose of the author. It was a constant surprise to her family and friends to note the range of her reading, from children's books to standard authors, and the keenness of her observations con cerning them, l'art of her school work consisted in writing book reviews, and so mature did they seem that she was seriously questioned at first as to their authorship. Nothing in her surroundings ever escaped her, and with quick insight every situation %vas to her a complete picture that was held and described. With a humor that was always bubbling out into expression, and with a breadth of read ing and observation very unusual in one so young, her conversation among

those who knew her was always a de light and a surprise. In the last few years she enjoyed writing out her fan cies, and the fugitive scrapB of /outh ful poetry about the home Lccame a part of her presence. These were all written for her own enjoyment, and were occasionally read at home, but no persuasion could induce her to be lieve that they were worth anything and she scrupulously destroyed them A rescued bit, however, written dur ing the dreadful heat of a few weeks ago, may serve to illustrate the spirit of this child of less than fifteen. In reply to the question whether she fan cied study in such weather, she gave an extravagant sigh, and in a few mo ments presented to the questioner the following lines: "Slug mo no song of sunny, Southorn climes and isles,

Their beuuties now have not :i charm for me. No warm, .soft wind, no sun with heating rays

Aro things 1 now would fain to feel andseo. But rather let your harp by cooling breeze bo stirred

To sing of Northern scenes and soft, white snows, Of far off wintry climes, longed vainly for,

Where icy plains abound and cold wind blows." The active romping of childhood was just mejging into the more sedate ways of young womanhood. Her brave spirit was shown at the iast, when with perfect serenity she faced the danger that took her life. With encouraging words and a bright look she clung to the uncertain boat, no word or action indicating that she was afraid, and her last words were a prayer. To her, life was constantly full of rich and delightful experiences, but now her vision is wider and her experiences rich beyond our undering."

IN GAY NEW YORK.

Jolin Selmlt/., On His Wily to Liverpool See he Sights of tlie Merry Metropolis mill .Some One Swipes

II iH Trunk.

Johnny Schultz, jr., who left last Friday night for a trip through the countries of Germany, France and England is on his way back home. John had arrived as far as New York City and in his desire to see the gay metropolis evidently forgot to take the necessary care of his baggage, for on returning to his hotel one evening he found that some one had swiped his trunk and telescope containing all his clothes. He was riding his wheel at the time or in all probability that also would have gone along with the trunk.

John Schultz, sr., who had gone as far as New York City with young John, on learning of his son's misfortune became dubious about the young man's capability of making the trip and returning home alive, 6o he placed his official veto on the proposed trip and insf ad started John back toward Indiana.

Carllsie Urolliers Fractions. Josh and Mahlon Carlisle, living northeast of city, drove into town Wednesday afternoon to meet their mother at the 1:10 Vandalia train. The boys arrived about 3 o'clock and having an hour's time on their hands they concluded to prospect a little among the salootiR, and in the phraseology of a Klondike miner, endeavor to strike a "lode." They found it, Mahlon making the largest find. Then they started for train. They reached the depot about ten minutes after tho train had gone, but found their mother waiting for them. She, however, as soon as she realized the condition they were in refused to get in the buggy. After some little parleying the boys left their mother standing on the platform and started for town. On the way ihey became engaged in a quarrel and later on in a fight. They stopped the horse in tho street and stood up in the buggy and punched each other in the most approved fashion. Policeman Bannister happened to arrive on the scene while out on his wheel, and dismounted. The boys saw him and endeavored to drive off. Bannister, however, prevented this by grabbing the horse by the bridle and watching his chance made a run and jump and landed in the vehicle on top of the belligerent agriculturists. Ho seized the lines and drove the festive young bucks to the city. They made suitable amends for their actions and were allowed to go their way.

Mrs. Maxwell Fully ltecovereri. Harry Maxwell, of Greencastle, in a letter to his brother, Frank, states that his wife, who was poisoned recently by eating ice cream, has fully recovered.
