CHEADLE THEIR CHOICE.

The 1'oiMilists 1" the Ninth District. Nominate tli« Kviu'kikIu for Connress.

Spccial to Tho Journal

Fhankfoht, April 12.—The Populists of the Ninth district held their Congressional convention hero to-day and nominated Joe Cheadle for the race. There was strong opposition to the nomination and A. G. Burkhart received 4") votes to Cheadle's 58. Montgomery county voted solidly for Burkhart. Cheadle received |onlyi four of the 17 votes that Clinton county had in the convention. Cheadle did not attend the convention and as soon as the nomination was made the element favoring fusion attempted to secure an adjournment but this was voted down. The convention wanted to hear what Cheadle had to say so a committee was sent out to look for him.

At last accounts he had not been found but the convention is waiting patiently for his appearance. The nomination was made unanimous on the motion of Burkhart who said he didn't care for it anyhow.

The convention was not as well attended as its managers expected and proxies were in the ascendency in the voting. Charles Berry, of Veedersburg, was a prominent figure in the convention and took a part in the anti-Cheadle There is a large element in the convention which is bitterly opposed to fusion and some of the delegates state that they will not support Cheadle if he flirts with the Democrats.

Bloomington

Telephone:

Dr. T. F.

Leech, of this city, is entitled to the credit of being the first man in Bloomington whose services have been refused in case of war with Spain. Seeing a statement that there was a great need of surgeons in the navy, lie wrote offering his services. Mis record in the late war as assistant surgeon in the voluntary navy, which was on file in Washington. was examined and showed that he had been honorably dis-charged October 10, 1805. It also showed that he was now fifty-seven years of age, and as the bureau was of the opinion that younger men should be selected, his services were refused, and he received a letter recently telling him of the fact.

Governor Mount's firaiulsoi). The prattle of children is to be heard at almost all times in the Governor's otlice. Were it not for the innocent gayety and diversion furnished by the little ones the life of the chief magistrate and his corps of very able workers would be dull indeed. During Governor Matthew's term the life of the executive chamber was little Claudie Ewing, of Greensburg, the Governor's grandson, and many stories were told of this pet of the executive household.

Just now the little ray of sunshine at the Governor's office is James Everett Butler, that bright-faced browneyed youngster, whom the Governor found one day over at his home at Shannondale and brought to this city with him. This favorite grandson was the pet of the family at the Shannondale farm. Here Everett has things about his own way. He attracts more attention at the executive ofiice than wars and rumors of wars and he has said many bright things, Recently when a gentleman from Greensburg asked him: "Do you live with your grandpa at home'?" The reply was: "No., grandpa lives with me."

Recently a member of the State tax board called at the office to see the Governor. He found a delegation ahead of him. He looked at the clock and inquired: "When does the Governor usually leave for dinner'."' "At 12 o'clock," responded little Everett, "but he's going earlier to-day, cos I'm hungry."

And he did go earlier and the tax commissioner postponed his mission until the afternoon. There are two things that the ofiice could not do without—they are llowers and children. Of the former there is always a veritable conservatory in the reception room windows.

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.

Fifty years ago Wednesday, Jacob M. Marshbarger and Miss Mary M. Myers were married on the farm in Clark township where Wednesday they celebrated happily the anniversary of their nuptials. The celebration was almost exclusively a family affair, iheir children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and cousins being invited to speud ttie day at the homestead. There was no stated progratnmo of exercises but all enjoyed asutnptuous dinner and passed the day in pleasant social intercourse and reunion. Stories were told and old times were recalled, the day proving one of rare pleasure for all who were present.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Uarshbarger were born in Botetourt county, Virginia, but they were not married until they came to this county. Mrs. Marshbarger was born on October 28, 1S21, and Mr. Uarshbarger on March 10, 1828, being therefore two years younger than his wife. She was the daughter of Henry Myers, a pioneer resident of this county who settled here in 1833. He fir6t locate in Scott township, but lively after a three years' residence there he fight, settled on the farm which is now the

Harshbarger home. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Marshbarger, three of whom are still living: Mrs JO. V. Brookshire, of Washington, D. Mrs. Henry Davidson, of Whites ville, and George W. Uarshbarger, who resides with his parents. No better people ever lived in the county than Mr. and Mrs. Harshbarger and few have more materially improved their opportunities. An excellent family of children and grandchildren, a fine estate, and the respact and esteem of the community are theirs and a happier condition it would be hard to imagine. Both are in vigorous health and bid fair to live for many years. The good things of life have been theirs and are theirs now because they have been sought by a living which is useful and honorable in the sight of God and men. i-

Calls were now made for Mr. Cheadle, who appeared with T. B. Frasier and thanked the convention for the honor bestowed on him. He said that later he would address a letter to the chairman, in which he would further explain his views and proposition. His speech was neither an acceptance nor a declination of the nomination.

Following the nomination a com mittee of seven was appointed to confer with other free silver forces in the district to bring about a complete fusion and to agree upon an emblem and a

VV. T. Durbin, of the Governor's stall', who was sent to Washington as special comiuisioner to ascertain what would be expected of Indiana in the event of war, and to securo, if possible, better guns for the artillery companies of the State, made a written report to the Governor Tuesday in which he

that the Government, in the event of hostilities, will not send troops to Cuba beforo next October. Me was informed by the Secretary of War that the plan will bo to build up an army at once, assemble the troops at some point, put them under rigid discipline and hold them until October in case it is deemed necessary to send them to Cuba. The War Department, ho relates, holds to the view that it would, not be safe to place troops on the island beforo October 1.

The Governor with the assistance of the men at military headquarters, is still busy with provisional preparations for forming and equipping the regiment which the Federal Government will want upon the first call. The letters and telegrams received indicate that nearly every company in the militia of the State would lilto to be attached to the regiment

Many of

PLANS CHANGED.

A llcKlment to Ite Made Ip Prom tlio Mem Military Companies of the State In a«o ol' War.

Indianapolis

Sentinel:

From wliat is

regarded as a reliable source it was learned Tuesday that tho plans have been changed regarding the selection of a regiment to go to tho front in case of war, and instead of the Second regiment being selected a regiment will bo made up from battalions from different regimentB, and this regiment will be commanded by Brig.-Gen. McKee in person, who will be regularly com. missioned aB colonel of volunteers, and the ranking colonel will act as lieutenant colonel of the now regiment, the mBjors of the battalions retaining their commands. Just what battalions will be selected to compose tho war regiment has not been determined, this being a matter which is being carefully considered by the Governor and the different officers of the Indiana guard.

This plan has met with favor, and it is believed the Governor has decided to make up the war regiment in this way. Another way which has been suggested is for tho Governor to call the colonels of the four regiments together, inform them that he will make up a regiment from the four regiments of the State, have each select a quota of companies from his regiment and have these twelve companies thus formed compose the war regiment, the oflicerB to bo selected by the colonels themselves. They would include colonel, lieu tenant-colonel and majors of battalions. The captains, of course, would retain command of their companies.

Clohl) of .School,

April 8 being the close of school at Old Hickory, No. 2, the patrons and friends rendered a successful surprise dinner for the teacher, Walter Whittington. One of the pleasant features of the day was the unexpected presence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Whittington, from Crawfordsville, better known as Uncle Billieand Aunt Becca. After listening to an earnest prayer offered by William in behalf of the patrons, teacher and pupils and after relieving the table of a bounteous dinner, it was an easy matter to obtain from the teacher and pupils a few interesting declamations and select reading, also a few speeches from the patrons. All this proves the appreciation of his successful work in his last term of school.

On Sunday,

Marion Gold6berry, the well known Colfax attorney, met with a most serious accident that will lay him up for some time. Ho was riding a fractious horse that reared and plunged around until it threw itself, and Mr. Goldsberry was unable to get his feet out of the stirrups in time to avoid the animal falling upon him. The horse's whole weight came down upon his right leg, crushing the bone below the knee.
