The Insist Withdrawn.

The Monon road has withdrawn its ticket office from the junction, being the last of the roads to do so. No tickets are now sold at the junction and no accommodations for travelers are offered there by the Beveral roads It is not at all improbable that the three roads will unite and build a new station there, across the tracks from the present house. If this is done an elegant little building will be put up and first clasB accommodations pro vided for the trav 'ling public.

Tlio P. O. S. of A. in Line.

An Associated Prt:ss dispatch

from

Philadelphia, says: "The P. O. S. of A.

all Over the country are rallying to the support of the government in its trouble with Spain, They are not tanking any great noise about it, but are not only passing resolutions concerning the matter but are offering their services when needed."

A Lack of Guests.

At present there is only one prisoner in the county jail, that being George Conro, of Darlington, who is laying out a ten days' sentence for disturbing a meeting. The jail has not been empty since Mr. Canine has been sheriff and he never before had less than three guests.

A Third Story.

A. F. Ramsey has decided to add a third story to his new building on the west side of Green street. It will be connected with the room of Montgomery Lodge of Odd Fellows, and has been rented to the Crawfordsville Lodge of the same order.

I'or the Supreme isench.

Judge J. V. Hadley, of Danville, was in the city Tuesday. Judge Hadley is a candidate for the supreme bench, sub|3 ject to the decision of the Republican

INDIANA'S SOLDIERS.

Tlio Part They Are Fxpeeted the First Call.

lo Form On

General McKee, commander of the Indiana state militia, has returned from a general conference of representatives of the militia of the various states, and has made his report to Governor Mount. The most important information the general had to com muDicate was that the best advices he was able to obtain, after having seen the secretary of war, indicated that the full force of Indiana's national guard would be -required to fill the requisition that will be made soou after the joint resolution adopted by congress is signed by the PresidentHe told the governor that the plan seemed to be to make a general ca for volunteers, without reference ito the national guajd, leaving the 'gov ernors of the several states free to raise the troops as they saw fit. The understanding, it is pointed out, is that the preference will be given to the militia of the several states. The troops, it is believed, will be mustered into regular service and then officered by men recommended for appointment by the governor.

The understanding now is that the fii-at call will be for 6ixty or sevonty tiousand militiamen. Under such a call, it is stated at Indiana he&dquar ters, this state would ba required to furnish sixteen or seventeen hundred men. Such a requisition would just about exhaust the strength of the national guard of the state, after men had been released on application, and others had been rejected on account of disabilities. The state authorities and the officers of the national guard are hoping that the story that the first call will be for enough men to call into Action the entire strength of the national guard is true. They point out that such a call will relieve the authorities of much embarrassment,as it is foreseen that it will be impossible to make up and officer a single regiment without wounding the pride of ago 3d many ollijers and several companies that have been counting on going to the front.

There is another story extant among army men in Washington, and generally believed among officers of the state militia, to the effect that the calls will follow so closely upon one another as to amount practically to one call until an army of two hundred thousand men is secured. In thisevent the militia of this state would supply not more than one half, if that, of the men required.

fcracif at Cheadle.

•Ihe lipioti Tllncs bolts the nomination of Joe Cheadle in advance. The limes is one of the leading Democratic organs of the Ninth district. In commenting on the nomination of Cheadle by the Populists, it says in part: "The Populists of this, the Ninth, district, met at Fraukfort on Tuesday of this week and nominated J. B, Cheadle, a Republican, for Congress. The silliest and strangest thing they did was to defeat A. G. Burkhart, the father of Populism in this district, by an old, worn-out Republican hag like Joe Cheadle, who has no convictions except for office. To Mr. Burkhart and his friends the result is an insult. Mr. Cheadle does not pretend to be a Populist. He is a free silver Republican, yet a gallant Populist like Lon Burkhart had to be turned down to carry out a barter and trade for "county pap," which every true Populist in the district should vote to repudiate this fall, The convention was Bwallowed by Cheadleism, and if the Democratic convention will be so foolish as to be swallowed by him, he will surely lose this county. The Democrats of Tipton county will not stand Cheadle this year, and the Times is only voicing the true sentiments of our Democrats when it utters these statements."

PART FIRST

AT WINONA.

Arrangements Making by rresby terlanR f(ir Meetings Then*.

The Presbyterians of Indiana are actively engaged in arranging for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Westminster standards during the session of the general assembly of the church at Winona next month. The general assembly will give one day to the celebration. Many of the ablest men in the church havo been assigned to talk on that occasion. Nearly every synod has indicated that it will 6ssist in the historical display that is to be made in connection with the celebration.

Indiana hopes to make an exhibit that will attract wide attention. The Rev. V. Hunter, of Indianapolis, has charge of the state's exhibit. The church throughout the country will elect commissioners to the general assembly this month Each presbytery sends one minister and one elder.

The general assembly will be only one of many meetings that will be held at Winona this season. The Rev. Sol C. Dickey, the general superintendent, who is now making up the programme, predicts a season of unusual prosperity. The programme for the series of convention aud for the summer school will soon be made up. The Presbyterians of the west have rallied to the support of the enterprise, and its future success, its managers feel, is now assured. There is a plan under consideration for the establishment of a winter school at the assembly grounds.

BURGLARS AGAIN.

The Itn»i«leiieo of W. W. SouMrlght Wan Kntei-ed Tuesday Night hut the liiirglars Were Frightened Away

W liile at Work,

The residence of W. W. Seawright on east Wabash avenue was entered by burglars Tuesday night, but they were frightened away before they had ransacked the entire house by Edgar Seawright who came home from Music Hall shortly after midnight. The burglars had entered the room of Lynn ."seawright and had found about a dollar in money and a solid gold watch chain. .These they carried off, but left on the kitchen table a handsome gold watch from which they had detached the chain. Why they did not take this is not known. The burglars gained entrance to the house by sawing open the shutters of the pautry and then forcing the window.

A Minister I'tihliely SanelloiiH Dancing. The Podict: The Rev. Dr. E Stod­

dard, of St. John's Episcopal church, Jersey City, has organized a dancing class to meet in the basement of the church every Thursday evening. The Doctor takes the position that dancing has thrived in the face of centuries of religious opposition and that as it is an amusement which is not harmful in itself but only becomes so through evil associations, it IB the part of wisdom to accept the inevitable and surround it with the proper safeguards. Young people need amusement as much as they need food. It is a natural instinct which cannot safely be suppressed and to try to substitute reading and chess and checkers for the more robust forms of amusements, which is the proper and normal demand of youth, is bound to bring disaster soonpr or later. Hence the £ooio»- has engaged an Italian orchestra and a good dancing master, and until 13 P'clgc^ every Thursday even­

ing the basemeDt of the is tha scene of a happy company of young men and women dancing merrily in the presence of their benign pastor.

A warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about the 21st, great'central valleys 24th, eastern states the 23th.

The audience manifested intense interest throughout the entire lecture, and at the close there were many expressions of appreciation. The lecture is one that makes hard hits, pleases, entertains and edifies.
