He I'assed Away at Alamo Lust Tuesday After a Short and l'amful Illness -sketch or His l.iie.
Last Tuesday at hid home in Alamo, Dr Abijab 1*\ Henry died of apendiciti6. He was tanen sick last Saturday and grew rapidly worse until death ended his sufferings. The body was brought here Wednesday and taken to the residence of .T. A. McClure, on south Walnut street, where the funeral occurred on Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The funeral was conducted under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of Alamo, assisted by the lodge of this city.
Dr. Henry was the son of William Henry, one of the pioneer residents of Crawfordsville, and was born here on December 20, 1835. He grew to manhood here and, deciding upon a physician's life he entered Rush Medical College, at Chicago, where he was graduated in the class of I860. He began practice at Alamo at once and continued to follow his profession there most of his career. He was located for a season at Winfleld, Kan., and also at Wiogate and Crawfordsville. In March, 1867, Dr. Henry was married to Miss Sue J. Nicholson, who died Feb. 2, 1881, leaving four children: Samuel T., Frank, Albert and Dora.

MOUNT NOT A CANDIDATE- LEW WALLACE CLUB.
to Soolc Hit^h TTonorK at 1 lie Farmer and Politics.
Indianapolis Jnurnul: Governor Mount is not a candidate for United States Senator. His sole political ambition this year, he says, is to see the Republican party win in the election this Fall. He feels very confident that this will be the result. There has been a good deal of inierest as to the Governor's attitude on the Senatorial question. Many of Governor Mount's friends have urged him to become a candidate, as they feel that I10 would serve the State acceptably and with distinction, but he says he feels that he owes a duty to those who elected him to the highest, executive oflice in Indiana. "I am not a candidate," said the Governor with decision, when informed yesterday by a Journal reporter that there is considerable interest as to his position. "I question whether it would be in good taste for me to seek high honors at the hands of those who intrusted me with their confidence when I was selected to lead the campaign two years ago. I am more interested in seeing the party successful this year than in anything else. It ought to succeed. I believe that it will. The national administration has fulfilled every promise that it made. The State administration has given an economical government, every point has been watched carefully and every effort to serve the State faithfully has been made, and promises made to the people have been kept. It is my belief that the Republican party will po 1 more votes from the rural districts than heretofore. The farmers will vote the Republican ticket. It is the cities that must be watched. Farmers are getting better prices for their cattle, sheep, grain—everything thev produce, with the exception of clover seed, perhaps. Democrats taught the farmers that wool would bring better prices under free trade. They have bad ample experience on that point.
In 1893 and 1894 sheep husbandry was almost paralyzed. Farmers had to see their sheep slaughtered. Sheep sold for SI to §2 a head. An auctioneer who makes sales in the country last week told me of selling one flock of ewes at §13 a head. Through the entire winter he sold not one head for less than $5. Farmers have had all the experience they want with Democratic policies
Governor Mount returned yesterday from his farm in Montgomery county, much refreshed after a few days' rest. He said that he was surprised at the indications of a good wheat crop Last October, after the long drought he doubted whether the wheat crop would amount to much this year. He says that the wheat is growing finely. There are no indications of Hessian fly, and he believes there will be an abundant crop. He says that dauger to peaches from freezing is not goner ally to be apprehended after March 1, and it is his belief Indiana will be blested with a good harvest and abundance of fruit.
Much damage was done in Montgomery county by the recent high waters He learned that the county coinmis sioners estimate 810,000 will have to be expended on the bridges and roads "There are no large streams near my farm," 6aid he, "but much of my land is what was formerly swamps. They have been drained by deep ditches. In high water the fields are covered, but it drains away quickly. Some of my water gates and fences were washed away, but the crops were not harmed.'
Lou Graham Married.
Word has been received here of the marriage of Lou Graham to Miss Helen Harrison Brown, of London. The marriage occurred last week and the happy couple will come to this coun try in the fall, when the Barnum & Bailey show, with which the groom is connected returns. The bride is a most excellent young lady and is the daughter of a tutor at Oxford Univer sity. The marriage is the result of love match. Soon after Mr. Graham arrived in London he met Miss Brown at the boarding house where she was visiting her sister, who resides in Lon don and who chanced to be boarding at the same place where Mr. Graham secured lodgings. It was a ease of love at first sight and the match had a most happy consummation. It was not intended when Stanley Simpson left England that they would be married before August, but for some reason their plans were changed and the wedding occurred the week after Mr. Simpson sailed for home.

The meeting of tho Lew Wallace Club in the old opera houscTuesday evening for tho formal ratification of the city ticket, was a large and general attendance of Republicans and a pleasant and profitable evening passed. All classes and conditions of Republicans were present and from the attendance it would take a very hopeful Democrat to see any signs of dissension in Republican ranks. About thirty new names were added to the membership. After the transaction of routine business the following resolution, was offered by Mr. Reeves and unanimously adopted: "Wiikkkas, our fellow townsman and beloved citizen, Gen. Lew Wallace is a candidate before the next General Assembly of the State of Indiana for the ollice of United States Senator, therefore be it. "RcKolved, by tho Lew-Wallace Club of Montgomery county, Indiana, that this club heartily recommend his election and that we do hereby give him our most earnest and hearty support in his coming campaign«and that it is the sense of this club that our representatives give Gen. Wallace, our great citizen, orator, author, soldier, statesman, diplomat-and true man,"their vote first, last and all tfie time until he is triumphantly elected."
All nominees on tho city ticket were present and in response to calls made brief but happy statementsnof "the faith that was in them," which were enthusiastically received by»the club. The ticket was unanimously endorsed by a rising vote. The-balance of the evening was spent in»speech making. Hrief but stirring and earnest speeches were made by Messrs. Bonnell, Travis, Wnite and Waugh and were greeted with hearty applause asi.the points were made.

Uptoti*M Kxporiunce. "\-vv
To to the Editor of tho Journal. A war-time experience that the late Upton Keene liked^to tell -on himself in his inimitable way was that serene ime in 1804. His owner and-himself had a government«contract for feeding horses, (he being so close in a friendly way with his owner that Upton classed himself a full partner in tail business undertakings.) He says that as he was working for Uncle «Sam he ought to have blue clothes,* so he traded a soldier out of a blue overcoat, brass buttons and all, and he was very proud of it. One day when^he had it on he rode right into Peto Everett and his rebel band, who were out on a raid to burn bridges on the Kentucky Central railroad, near Paris. One Johnny thrust his pistol into his face,«sklnning his nose, and another one whacked him over the head, knocking him from his horse. There wasta creek clcse to them. Capt. Everett rode.'up, commanding him to "Get cut of that d—n blue coat, throw it into the creek and jump onto it!" Upton said it was then that the fun began—for the rebs. There was just a sheet of ice on the creek, not thick enough to bear him, but he felt 60 light that he "cut the pigeon wiug" for some little bit without cracking the ice. Then camo a shower of balls through the ice at his feet with the order, "Put that coat to the bottom!" It went and# Upton went with it, but he said-that "he was so hot that tho water scalded him." He wore no more blue clothesj'until he joined the army and got some sweet revenge. M.
Death of a Wabash College Graduate. Indianapolis News: Edward E. Bassett died this morning at tho Enterprise Hotel, which for some time had been his home. He was sixty-four years old, and for several years had been an invalid. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. He came to this city when a small boy with his father's family. The Rassett home was for many years a well known landmark. It was a two-story frame house, the yard well filled with lilac bushes and old fashioned flowers. Mr. Bassett was educated at tho Marion County Seminary and at Wabash College, where he was graduated. He studied law with the firm composed of Lucian Barbour, of this city, and Albert G. Porter, and afterward with Judge Gookins, of Terre Haute, with whom he afterward went into practice. He volunteered in the war for the Union in tho summer of 1861, and waB a lieutenant in Bracken's Cavalry. After the war he took up the practice of law at Davenport, la. He moved to
Springfield, 111., and for several years
edited the State Journal of that city. About twenty years ago he returned to Indianapolis, and was for a time

Some Desirable Varieties

0f
KuspberrieH
and lliaekherries That llnve lleen Tested YVith Good Results.
The varieties mentioned below were all set in tho spring of 1S96. The plants were given ordinary cultivation with the exception that the land was subsoiled to tho depth of fourteen inches before they were planted. The effect of tho subsoiling was very noticeable on tho growth of tho plants tho first season, and a fair crop of fruit was harvested tho second. I am confident that subsoiling land that iB inclined to be heavy for these fruits will pay large profits on tho money invested. A raspberry or blackberry plantation should give good results for at least ten years, hence the soil should be thoroughly prepared before tho plants are set.
UABriUCItRlKH.
Twenty-eight varieties of raspberries and sixteen varieties of blackberries were tested. A fow of the older varieties are retained for comparison, but the majority are of comparatively recent introduction. Some of tho more desirable varieties are given horo.
Miller is a remarkable bearer of medium Bized fruit. J. H. Hale, of Connecticut, pronounces it the best of all the early reds for general cultivation.
Loudon is a good mid-season, market berry. It will carry well. Columbian and Shaffer are made up on tho same plan, both bear large purple fruit and both propagate from tips. If you have one you do not need the the other.
Among the newer black caps we have nothing that will surpass the Conrath for size and earliness, and Kansas for a mid-season berry.
A now variety from New York called Black Diamond, fruited for the first time last season, and in point of size and productiveness it equalB the Kansas.
Among the yellow or cream colored varieties, Golden Queen is much superior to any other variety tested. In addition to the above, for general planting, the following varieties are recommended: Eureka, Hilborn, Johnston's Sweet, Nemaha and Progress.
HI,ACIvHKKMI£B.
in the list of fruits recently prepared by the Indiana State Horticultural Society, made up from lists sent in by more than one hundred correspondents, representing every county in the State, the Snyder blackberry appears in moro than three-fourths of tt.io lists. In the southern counties, Early Harvest, Early King, Taylor, Ancient Briton and Erie follow closely after Snyder, while in other counties, Eldorado, Agawam, ICittatinny, Minnewaslti, Stone Hardy and Lucretia DewOerry are quite largely grown. Judging from their behavior in our experimental grounds, the following varieties are recommended for general cultivation: Agawam, Ancient Briton, Early Harvest (with protection), Erie, Eldorado, Snyder and Taylor.

Want* a Divorco.
Myrtle Conkright has sued John Conkright for a divorce with all such frills and trimmings as the care and custody of minor children and proper relief, whatever that means. Myrtle didn't have much Lime to curl her hair and try on new bonnets after she married the indolent and reprehensible John foi" she had to make a living for the whole family. She managed to do thiB to suit the rather fastidious taste of her lord and master until the first of this month when John took offense because the lettuce was somewhat wilted ond day at dinner and left home. He hasn't been back since and Myrtle has been having such a snap this month that she has concluded that she would be a regular monkey to go back to tho old way. She has accordingly sued for the divorce.
No Staff at Columbus.
Because of a bitter protest from many oflicers and privates of the G. A. R., Governor Mount will not take his staff with him to the State Grand Army encampment at Columbus next month. The old soldiers are offended at the elaborate uniforms and shining display of the 6taff at last year's encampment. They call these oilicers tin soldiers and 6ay they are out of place at an encampment of the real things.
