The Rough End of It.
George Hays, of the 27th Indiana battery, writes from Camp Thomas that the boys from here get the worst end of it all the time. They have all of the rough work to do and get none of the easy things which are invariably reserved for the Indiana favorites. Still the Crawfordsville continent, he says, will have no kick to make if orders to the front will only come soon. They are horribly bored the inactivity of camp life.

HE'S A BASE DECEIVER.
Kicliard Sou dors Is Shown l.'p In His True Light By Mrs. .Emma Wilcox Who says That She Has Furnished
Him Wit.h 1'rovender For Two Years.
Mrs. Emma Wilcox called at the JoviiNAL office on Thursday and made a statement regarding Dick Souders, whose connection with the Nichols case was mentioned in Wednesday's JOUUNAL. Mrs. Wilcox states that Souders is abase deceiver and that she knows whereof she speaks. She told the story of her blighted life with 60 sweet a charm of manner and with such a winsome grace that all who heard her were deeply affected and longed for a club to beat the sinful and heartless Dick to death. Mrs. Wilcox spoke as follows: "I was glad to see that piece in the paper about Dick Souders and I want to show him up some more so that all the people will know that he is a base deceiver. He is the coaxingest man you ever taw but he is bad and false, I have lcnowed him for more than two years and have furnished hiin with grub for most of that time. Ha made love to me and we was engaged to be married and should have been long ago only that he couldn't get a divorce from his wife who lives in Indianapolis and who is a good women only he treated her so mean that she had to quit him cold.
He swore that he was true to me and I believed him, the onery spltoon clean^ er, that's what he does for a living only I have give him his living and he has spent all he made for whisky. Yes sir, I have brought liim his erub from Jackson's boarding house where I work for nearly two years and ho has just stuffed and swore that he loved me. 1 have given him money bssides and he squandered it away. The only thing he ever give me was this engagement ring and he owes for this for I saw a dun for S4 50 that Mr. Kline sent him some time ago. Well I thought he was true to me for he met my old husband, Jim Reynolds, and cussed him for over an hour for trying lo speak to me. He swore that we would ba happy and I hustled the (.'rub for him and he laid around Grandma Pevley's where I room and ate up everything I threw his way. When he went to Linden to work for Mr. Nichols 1 still thought him true but I soon heard that he was making love to ihat Battie. Finally Mr. Nichols give him the run and then ho came sniveling back to me. When he come I said: 'Dick, jou onery low down dog what are you coming here for? Why don't you go back to that other woman?' He said that he had come back to her that he loved the best. I fed him some more and when he got fat he skipped out. I knew he was going back to that Uattie and he said he wasn't. He swore that he still loved me. Well I went to Linden to see Hattie and I saw her. He had been there and hadn't been gone ten minutes when I came or there would have been all kinds of trouble right there. Hattie she wouldn't be warned and told me to gat out. She just stood in the door and yelled: 'There's the gate! There's the gate! Go on a way!' Well she'll find him out and she won't get that farm that that onery Dick wants either. I am going to write to Dick's Indianapolis wife this evening and tell her to not let him get a divorce. I don't love him any more but I'm going to warn the people what a base deceiver he is. There's that engagement ring, and it's all I've got to show for all the grub
I packed to him."

Rockville Republican: Prof. James G. McMurtry and wife spent Sunday here, guests of Mrs. R. C. McWilliams They have just closed a year's success ful work at Washington college, in Tennessee, where Prof. McMurtry taught Latin and Greek and Mrs. McMurtry also held a position. When the students learned they were about to resign a lengthy petition setting forth the high respect in which they were held and their qualifications as instructors was prepared and signed by eighty students and others, asking the trustees to retain them if possible. But as they had already determined to leave, the professor managed to secure the petition and holds it as a precious memento of his connection with Washington college. It is liKely Prof. McMurtry will finish the post graduate course at Wabash leading to the doctor of philosophy degree, one year of which he has completed, while Mrs. McMurtry will live with her parents, who are aged, and endeavor to recuperate her health, which is somewhat broken from overwork in teaching.

A NUPTIAL EVENT.
The Marriage of llurvny K. Tinsley, o^J This City, mid Ml-.* lint tie MiKee, of Lat iy«tte.
Lafayette Journal: Rev. Frank M. Elliott, of Indianapolis, was called to the city last evening to perform a very pleasant duty, that of the marriage of Miss Harriot A. McKee, eldest daughter of Thomas G. McKee, ex-sheriff of Tippecanoe county, and Mr. Harvey R. Tinsley, a prominent merchant of Crawfordsville. The ceremony was performed at S o'clock at the residence of the bride's brother, Thomas C. MqKee, assistant city engineer, at No. 113 north Fifth street. There wore no attendants and the witnesses were limited to near relatives and a few friends. The house was prettily decorated with flowers and plants and the supper was served by Woigele. The nuptials were entirely devoid of ostentation and, while all of the details were simple, the wedding was a pretty one. Mr. and Mrs. Tinsley left at 12:50 o'clock this morning for their home in Crawfordsville and were attended by tho best wishes of a host of friends. Tha bride has been engaged for a number of years as an instructor in the schools of Lauraraie township, where she was born and reared, and the highest regard is entertained for her by all who knew her. She haa had tho advantage of an excellent education and has been endowed by nature with attributes that challenge the admiration and esteem of her friends. The groom is actively engaged in business at Crawfordsville, is one of tho influential and substantial citizens of that place and is a gentleman who is held in high esteem by the people of the Hoosier Athene. Among the guests at the weeding were tho following from out of *10 city: Mr. and Mrs. 15. M. MeKee, of Marion Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. McKee, of Crane
Rev. Frank M. Elliott, of Indianapolis Mr. Fred Diebold, of Cleveland Mr. and Mrs, C. C. C&nn, of Clark's Hill, and Mrs. Minnie McKee, of Stockwell.
I'rnf. Thompson's l'ositlon. Frankfort Times: Prof. Maurice Thompson, a southerner by birth, but for many years a resident of Indiana, has entered upon the discussion of the important question, what shall be done with Cuba after the Spaniards are driven from that island? He evidently intends his letters on the subject as a reply to the recent speech of ex-President Cleveland. One of the ex-president's arguments was that the consent of the governed must be the basis of all government. Prof. Thompson shows the'absurdity of the universal application of this principle. If all peoples of the world were intelligent, all government could be safely based upon the consent of tho gov-n erned. It has been well said that until the inhabitants of a country can be instructed in a theory of self-govern-1-ment, it is better for that country to bo under tho tuition of a nation of progressive and humane purpose. As
Prof. Thompson says, we have not observed that principle. Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana by the act of powerful minorities, without tho consent of tho governed, have deprived the negro majorities in those 6tates of any voice in government and yet the disfranchised in those states, as Prof. Thompson says, are much better prepared for self-govern-ment than are seven-tenths of the peo ple of Cuba.
Here's a Mum.
Attica Lubjur: A dispatch from Chick-.-amauga last week stated that a member of Company G, 155th Ind., Vols., had been guilty of sleeping on guard, which in time of war and in the fac% of an enemy is punishable by death. But we are pleased to state that the sentinel who did the sleeping was not from Fountain county, neither aid he belong to Company G, as the following communication from J. A. Dilfenderfer will show: "In regard to the sentinel sleeping on post last week it is true, but it was a mistake to say that be belonged to ComDany G. Our boys don't sleep on duty. It was Charles Cox, of Company from Crawford6ville, and we, the members, of Company G, want to inform our people of E\ountain county that she can fur* nish better soldiers than that."

The Lebanon Reporter in its account of the recent ball game here says: "The umpire, who was a Crawfordsville man, might have been worse, but not very much. He seemed disposed during the opening innings to do the fair and square thing so far as he was capable but he soon forgot all about his good intentions, if he ever had any, and gallantly pulled for his home

team. Notwithstanding this handicap the Lebanon boys i.,-.., down their op-Sj^ I ponents and won out
