James Spencer is an old bachelor who lives by himself in a small hou^e neLvr Garneld. The old fellow tills a email patch of ground and by doingodd jobs mauagi-s to make, :j living. This year he. set his gurnen out 111 tomatoes and corn. A few days ago ho discovered that a niunbfcrof tomato worms had appeared on tho plums and were doing some damage. He at once became greatly excited and instead of killing the worms in the old fashioned way he set in and pulled up all the tomato plants. These he stacked in a heap and then cut the green corn, piling it on top of the plants. The whole was covered with dry material and burned. Hefore cutting' down bifi crop Spencer had pulled the three largest tomatoes on his

and then care

fully selected the largest worm Ko placed the tomatoes and the worm on a fence post and delivered a long lecture to hi6 wormship, telling it plainly that it would have those tomatoes and nothing else to live on during the comiDg winter. Having completed his work of destruction Spencer plowed up his field and proceeded t,o plant it in wheat and turnips. lie mixed the seed and when told that the crops would not grow well together he grew very angry and went whooping about the neighborhood. The people living near him are much alarmed aB he is getting more unreasonable and violent every day. They are asking that he bo committed to the asylum.

To tlie Shades.

Indianapolis News: It has been arranged to take the L. A. VV. visitors who will attend the national meet in this city next month for a tlyiug trip to the Shades and Bloomingdale Glens. Sunday, August 14, a special train from Indianapolis will take the wheelmen of this city and those visitors who still linger to the Shades tend Bloomingdale Glens. The party will be divided one-half will leave the train at Milligan and wheel across to the Shades, a distance of seven miles, 07er a road which will leave a pleasant memory in the mind of every one who takes the trip. Those who go with this party will take dinner at the Shades, and in tne afternoon ride on to the Glens. The other half of the crowd will leave the train at Marshall, ride to the Glens, and there take dinner. In the afternoon they will make the journey to the Shades. In this way both of Indiana's beauty spots can be saen to the best advantage, and the visitors will carry away with them a more vivid realization of Indiana's greatness than if they had confined their trip only to Indianapolis. The excursion has been made a part of the Meet Club's programme, although all of the wheelmen of tne city, who desire, will be welcomed. Special arrangements will be made tor the handling of wheels and for the comfort of tourists, both at Bloomingdale Glens and the Shades.

Turned Loose.

Tom Allen, who was arrested here last week as a suspected horse thief, was la6t Friday released from jail and allowed to go on his way swearing at his unseemly detention. There was no evidence adduced to show that he had hooked those horses, and even if there had been it was a dead sure thing- that the owner wouldn't have cotne to Crawfordsville for them. Allen claimed that he had given 815 for the two. If he really did he was badly skinned.

The Very Place For It.

Ladoga Leader: Free rural mail delivery is to have a trial in Montgomery county. Certainly this is one of the best counties in the state for such a trial. Our farmers are among the best and most progressive, the population is comparatively dense, and the roads are first class. Montgomery county farmery deserve the best possible service from Uncle Sam.

IVtart Is Improving,

Frankfort Crescent: Martin McNierney, of Crawfordsville, who met with an accident on the Lake Erie Sunday by which he lost his foot and had his leg broken is getting along as well as could be expected. The injured leg has been placed in a plaster paris case and it will be some time before he can be removed to his home.

Blew His Head Off.

Last Friday afternoon near Colfax, Noah, the eleven y.ear old son of Webb Fairfield, met with a tragic death. He was playing with a double barrel shotgun in the yard when the weapon was discharged. The entire load passed through the iad's head, fairly blowing it off.

THE POPULISTS.

and a committee from each party was

chosen to confer on this point. The Democratic committee met with two Populists and decided that Cheadle run as a Democrat and that the Populists support him as such. The Populist committee as such was not consulted and tho whole thing was out of order. Mr. Cheadle has treated the Populists iu a shameful manner and his attempt to use them as his tool will hardly prove successful."

Tho conference assumed a decidedly anti Cheadle aspect before it closed. After the adjournment THK JOUHNAI. saw Editor Walters and Senator Gill and they stated that it was the sense of the meeting—the unanimous sense —that a new Populist congressional convention be held and that the name of Joe Cheadle be taken from the ticket and the name of a pure Populist be substituted. It is likely that the call will be issued in a few days. The candidate to be selected is yet a matter of some doubt but it is likely that A. G. Burkhart will be the man. He is a Populist in whom there is no guile and would receive the support of the whole party. There is no doubt that the Populists are in dead earnest and they have no language strong enough with which to denounce the wily Joseph.

An Kxcitiiig Time.

The Covington papers 6tate that the preliminary trial.of Claude and Llarry McBroom for an alleged assault on Faunie Davis was an exciting ono. The Friend in its writeup of the girl's testimony says: "On cross examination she said that she had recently been released from the reform school on a ticket of leave. Sa?d she had been in that institution since she was ten years old. Mr. Anderson tried hard to get her to contradict her story, but his efforts were all iu vain. The court called him down three times, on account of his rigid examination. Anderson protested and said he was only doing his duty as a sworn attorney in defending the boys

Surprine Party.

Capt. H, li. Talbot was made tbe victim of a most pleasant surprise party last Thursday at hia home, the occasion being the anniversary of the battle of Peach Tree Creek, where the captain attained such distinguished honors. The party was a most pleasant and successful one and the captain was warmly congratulated on living to see another day commemorative of his valorous action on the field of battle. Several short speeches were made, those of Si Klegg Joel and Shorty Miller being especially worthy of mention. During the evening refreshments were served and all the guests remained until a late hour.

A New Residence.

Editor Walters, of the ltossvillc Jouritnl, Senator VV. B. Gill and a number of the loading Populists of the district met in this city last Saturday afternoon, discussing mutters of moment to their ptirty organization. Hefore the meeting Senator Gill said to a representative of Tim JoruxAi,: "Wu shall nominate a full county ticket at our convention next Saturday. There will be no attempt to effect fusion with the Democrats anil wo fahall give our wholo support to our own ticket at tho fall oleeticn. We took the action of the Democratic county convention as a sufficient answer to our proposal for fusion. I guess Mr. Hanna thinks it was sufficient, anyhow.

Sunday night just before 15 o'clock •Jamen T. Laymon, of west Main street, was awakened by his wife who insisted that, sho heard burglars trying to break into the house. Mr. Laymon remarked that ho had heard that tale before and after sma-hing a persistent mosquito he went, to sleep again. Very soon ho was again awakoncd by his wife and this time he sat up in bed. Then tie, too, could hear tho burglar at work, tie arose and went through all the rooms noiselessly examining the fastenings of tho windows and the doors. He had all but completed his rounds when he heard tho burglar moviDg around as if in tho cellar. Mr. Laymon then repaired to his wife's room and instructed her to go to tho

to view when Mr. Laymon gave a running jump and landed full upon tho door. It closed down with a elam and ho heard the burglar fall back into the cellar with a resounding bump. Mr. Laymon lost no time in piling a lot of outdoor furniture on the door and had just concluded that ho had bis man safely trapped when ho heard some

oti

run across the lawn from tho 6ide

of the house just a few feetaway. The burglar when thrown back into tho cellar bad rushed to the little east wii (low and by a tight squeeze and a desperate effort had managed to pull himself through. He ran directly past Mrs. Laymon, who was standing at the Griffith door, and ju6t after he shot down into the street Mr. Griffith came out. Both he and Mra. Laymon got a good look at the fellow and both are satisfied that he is a fellow living in town. He had been in the refrigerator before entering the cellar and had made a square meal. An effort will be made to land the young man in a short time.

ludimia Regulars.

Since the 1st of January 1,009 men have enlisted at the Indianapolis recruiting station for the federal service. About nine-tenths of these men were lrom Indiana. The others were scattered from Maine to California. Many Indiana men are in the navy, and hold various positions. The number of enlistments at the Indianapolis recruiting station 'have decreased during the last few days. Captain Black has received several telegrams from posts to which he has been sending recruits,paying that the posts are full. The heavy artillery recruits first went to the Presidio, at San Francisco, to be sent to the Philippines, or to Ft. Barrancas, at Pensacola, Fla., to be sent to Cuba. Now, the artillery recruits go to Sullivan's island, in the Charleston, S. C., harbor. The destination of the hospital corps varies. The enlistment in this branch of the service has increased within the laBt month.

Caught Ou Quickly.

A letter to the Indianapolis News from the hadquarters of the Indiana volunteer signal corps says: "The mastering of the heliograph work is proving a rather great, although fascinating, task to the most of the Indiana men. John A. Duncan, of Crawfordsville, distinguished himself upon the first afternoon of the practice by setting up and sighting a complicated double mirror, never having seen the instrument before."

Will 1'robably Judge.

The poultry assoaiation of Portland, Oregon, has extended an invitation to Ben Myers to judge the poultry show to be held in that place from Jan. 10 to 15. Mr. Myers will probably accept the invitation. He has also received several other invitations from all over the United States to judge at poultry shows. It seems that Ben has made a high mark in this line of business for himself.

HOOKED A HERO.

A Letter I' roin N ermoiit IlinpoHeH of allOuoHtion as to the I'olKion of Admiral Dewey.

A special from Delphi says: "What little enthusiasm characterized the Democratic congressional convention (it Frankfort that nominated Joseph I!. Cheadle was called forth by Hon. Samuel llalaton's eloquent tribute to Admiral Dewey, 'the Democrat, who won immortal glory at Manila.' Indeed, for some timo the Democrats of northern Indiana have appropriated Dewey's victory, claiming that it belonged to the Democratic party, and that no ono else should have any credit for it. He has been made a plank in a number of county and district platforms and has boon elected a member of a number of Democratic clubs. Indeed, there has been some talk of making him the Democratic candidate for president in 11)00. Democracy, however, will havo to revise its calculations. Congressman Landis last week addressed a letter to Hon. H. H. Powers, member of congress from Vermont inclosing Mr. Ralston's reference to Dewey, and asking for the facts. In his letter of reply Congressman PowerB says: '1 am somewhat at a loss to see what earthly importance it can bo to anybody to determine the politics of an American patriot, nevertheless, I am aware of the fact that the Democrats have made extravagant claims in respect to Dewey's politics, and on the floor of the house a few weeks ago I publicly stated in response to a claim of Sulzer, of New York, that Dewey was a Democrat, that that statement was untrue that he is and always has been since he became twenty-one years of age a stanch Republican. I also telegraphed his brother, Hon Charles

Dewey, of Montpelier, Vt., in respect to the matter, and he confirmed my statement. I have known Dewey since his boyhood. He was born and brought up in Montpelier, a distance of only twenty-tour mileB from my home, and I personally know that he is aB solid a Republican as over breathed the pare air of Vermont. His father and brothers are stanch Republicans and you can state with the utmost confidence, if the question is of any importance to anybody, that so far as his politics are concerned, Dewey is a Republican, and 60 far as his religious belief is con-: cerned, he is an Episcopalian. Both these facts are in the common knowledge of every inhabitant of the state of Vermont, and no Democrat in the stato of Vermont will dispute my statement.'"

Keliiriied to Duty.

Major C. M. Travia returned la6t Friday to Fort Thomas. He was successful in securing the horses he desired for the officers of his regiment. The animals he took were all fine ones and will be paid for by the officers themselves, the government not paying for the horses which the officers bestride. In case a horse is lost in service, however, the officer is allowed 800.
