illeii to be Knlist! in Iniiunupolfc for the Two New Artillery UeKimt'iita.

When Major Black, in charge of the local recruiting station at Indianapolis for the United States army, received a dispatch Monday night telling him to enlist men for the artillery branch of the service he did not get excited. "This matter has been under consideration for several years," said Major Black. "The officers of the army desired to increase the artillery branch of the service. We shall have seven regiments instead of five, and that is all there is to it. There is nothing significant in the order from the War Department it simply means to fill up these two regiments, and that is all. I have Bent out circulars and letters and placed advertisements in the papers, and I suppose there will be about 200 men recruited from this office. The message from the Department does not mean war. by any means. Applicants for enlistment must be between the ages of twentyone and thirty years, unmarried, of good moral character, etc. For infantry and artillery the height must not be less than five feet four inches and weight not less than 128 pounds and not more than 190 pounds. For cavalry the height must not be less than five feet four inches and not more than five feet ten inches and weight not to exceed more than 105 pounds. The term of service is for three years, and all soldiers receive from the Government (in addition to their pay) rations, clothing, bedding, medicines and medical attendance.

Trouble for Taylor.

A Fort Wayne special says: given out here by intimate friends of Col. R. S. Robertson, ex-Lieutenant-Governor, that he would be a candidate for United States Senator. On being asked whether he was about to make such an announcement or not, he said that he was not prepared at this time to do so. He admitted having consid ered the matter, and that tie was urged by friends to declare himself, but he declined for the present to say what he might do. The candidacy of Colonel Robertson would seriously affect Judge Tavlor's boom, and it is a well known fact that politically, at least, the two men are not on friendlv terms."

Fouml Him.

Wright, the Monon newsboy who was supposed to have been lost from the train between this place and Linden on Monday, was found Tuesday in Lafayette. He claims that he missed the train there but does not explain why he waited so long before making his whereabouts known.

Last Saturday evening a number of Republicans met at tho old Opera House to consider the advisability of organizing a club for political purposes. After appointing a committee to draft articles of association and bylaws, they adjourned to meet Tuesday evening at the same place. T. L. Stilwell presided over the first meeting and last. Tuesday called the second meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock with about one hundred Republicans present. He briefly stated that the object of the club was to form an organization to which all classes of Republicans could belong and thus solidify the vote of the city and county by acting in conjunction with the other Republican alubs during the approaching campaigns. lie said that ho had seen Gen. Wallace and had his consent to use his name, and that Mr. Wallace was heartily in accord with the eentiments and principles of the club. Mr. Stilwell said that the emblem of the club was to be a small silk flag with a button picture of Gen. Wallace in the center. He then called for a report from the committee on permanent organization composed of M. M. Nye, chairman, Tully Crabbs, Mark Beckner, John Johnson i^nd Abner Jones, who submitted the following articles of association: "Article 1. The name of this organization shall be the Lew Wallace Club of Cra wfordsville. '"Article 2. The object and purpose of this organization is to promote the It is success of the Republican party and

WINTER WHEAT.

Reports Km in liver Mm Slate Show That II is III 11 Very (loud Condition.

State Statistician Conner has received reports from sufficient counties to convince him that so far the winter wheat crop has not been damaged, but is in the best of condition. The present indications point to a- crop of •10,000,000 bushels in tho State this year, which is an increaso of 2,500,000 bushels over last year. "It is the March frosts and thaws that usually play havoc with the winter wheat crop," said Mr. Conner yesterday. "The first three weeks of March is the hardest season of the year on the wheat of the State. So far but one week in March has gone, and it has been all that tho growers of wheat could desire, but what tho next two weeks will bo remains to bo eeen. In all the reports so far received this Spring, with but two or three exceptions, there is tho most flattering prospect reported. Tho exceptions wore in the black lands in Johnson and Shelby counties. "We can't tell very much about the crop till in April, after the March bad weather haB gone. Last year there were 2,000,000 acres in wheat in the State with an average yield of 15 32 bushels and a total production of 37,709 75 bushels. The acreage this year will be a little less than this figure, but unless there is bad weather in the next two weeks 1 look for a larger production in the State. I would put it now at 40,000 000.

A Tribute.

Sarah Zumalt was born Nov. 17, 1S17, at Cintha Ann, Harrison county, Kentucky. She died March 4, 1S98, at the home of her son, Albert, 1% miles west of New Richmond. Her father, Philip Zumalt, camo to Fountain county when Sarah was ahout eight years old. He built the first mill ever erected in that county. The mill was still standing at last accounts, although somewhat changed, at Hillsboro. He died about 1833 Sarah was left motherless when eleven years of age. She was married to Samuei B. Daz^y, January 12, 1S37. He was born on land belonging to General (ifterwards President) Harrison, July 23, 1812. He died at his home in Crawfordsvllle, Sept. 11,1805. His parents were early settlers in Montgomery county. His grandfather came from Germany and fought in the Revolution. Mrs. Dazey became a member of the Methodist church when a young girl and was converted at a camp meeting about throe miles south of New Richmond in 1840. She afterwards removed her membership to the Newliglit (Christian) church at Center, where it remained until the her death. She lived a consistent Christian life, never failing to tell of the Savior's goodness and «love whenever she had an opportunity. The desire of her life was that her family ard friends might follow Christ's example, and live lives of usefulness. Many times have her prayers ascended for those of her children who had not yet made a start in the Christian life. She was the mother of eight children, one girl and seven boys. Five of them have preceded their parents to the eternal city. Only three boys remain, William, Charles and Albert. May the time soon come when God in His providence shall yet answer those prayers and the two sons who have not vet confessed Christ be enabled to turn their faces Zionward and take up the cross their mother laid down, so that they may be an unbroken family circle in heaven. Daring the last week of Grandma Daz'y's illness she shouted many times the praises of God, as long as her failing strength would permit. She left the consoling testimony behind that she was rency and willing to go home to glory and that she- was only waitirg for the change to come. The last day of her life on earth was mere existence, as she was unconscious about forty eight hours She passed away at noon on Friday, March 4. very peacefully. Her age was 80 years, 3 months and 17 days.

Dearest, Grandma, she has left us, And her s"ul Ims none to rest Now she dwells in pence and glory,

Safe with Jesus ai the blest. IJKR GKANDDAUGIITKR.

IM.URA MTV IIIRTI1H.

There were sixty two casos of plurality of births reported, (50 of which were twins and two triplets.

There were 123 illegitimate births returned for the quarter, 03 males and 01 females.

Total number of deaths reported for the quarter ending December 31, 1897 3,1150, showing an increase of seventy over the corresponding quarter of last year. Possibly this increase is due to more accurate reports. Of the ninetytwo counties in the State, the following seven have failed to send reports: Clark, Randolph, ITountain, Greene, Lake, Morgan, Daviess.

"J'luin George Harney."

"Plain George Harney" will doubtless have a mild attack of paresis when he reads the following from the Indianapolis Journal: "The Governor still believes there will be no war. 'I see nothing in the situation,'said he before he left the city, 'to make me change my mind in this respect.' But there are a great many people over the State who do not think as the Governor docs. They expect that hostilities are about to break out, and that a fierce war will ensue, in which there will be a great need of colonels, major generals, majors and brigadiers. It is curious to see how many there are who are willing to wear shoulder straps and carry a sword, and in all the Governor's correspondence there is Dot a letter from anyone offering to serve as a private. But John C. Wingate, who travels a good deal over the State, has at last discovered 6uch an odd individual. I This gentleman lives in Montgomery county and is a son of Judge Harney,

Recently ho announced his intention of fighting the Spaniards as a private. Such a thing was never heard of before in Montgomery county, and Harney is now tho talk of that whole county."

Koik! I iiiiu'ovciikmU Township Trustees. Af there has bejen some controversy about the power of a township trustee t) appropriate money to aid in constructing gravel roads, we publish tho a 'ction of the statute in question It is Sec. OHIO, of Burn's statues of 1891, which reads as follows: "Whenever the citizens interested in the permanent improvement of any highway of public importance, shall by donation, properly ditch, drain, gravel, or embank such highway, in such manner as is contemplated by this act, such trustee 6liall contribute and perform work thereon equal in value to such donation, if he has the means in his hauds to perform such work." Under this sectioi., the citiz^os of any neighborhood may combine and grade, ditch, and embank a road, and the township trustee, after such work 6hall have been done, may spend a sum ual to the cost of the work done, in finishing such road. Several roads have been built under this law in different parts of the county.
