The Redpath concert company is a splendid aggregation and is far in advance of any musical attraction ever put on here by a lecture course. Many will be pleased tn note that Ger.

IMPERIALISTS.

The Indiana Wins Fence and Nail Conilany Believe,- in the Doctrine of Kxpansion.

Ou Monday ground was broken for an addition to the plant of the Indiana wire fence and nail company near the junction. A new brick building sev-enty-two by one hundred and forty feet, is to be erected at once and immediately on completion is to b3 stocked with the latest and best machinery. New machines for the manufacture of woven wire will be put in and a large lathe. The erection of this building will have eventually the effect of increasing the force employed and to will directly benefit the city. This factory is the most important industry of Crawfordsville aud has et joyed a steady growth, never asking and never receiving aid in any form.

G.A. K. unl tluj Si:iuisli War, The iDciuberh of toe IS rand rVrmy of the Republic in this state aro divided

on the proposition to open the doors of

the organization to tho soldiers in the

war with Spain. Within tho past few

weeks a few soldiers' meetings in dif-

mously passed such j, resolution, and no opposition was mado by the department ofiicers. The impression is that if the question is brought before the national encampment at Cincinnati next month a mi* j.irity of the delegates from this state will favor tho proposition.

Another question that has beeu brought to the front by the war with Spain is whether ti.e men from Indiana who served in the war arc to be recognized on the state soldiers' and sailors' raouiument at Indianapolis. It has been suggested that the men who represented the state in the war must have a tablet ou the monument. The designers of the monument did not take into consideration that even before it was completed there would be another war, but it is believed that space can be found for the recognition of tho state's part in tho war with Spain.

Point N Aug. Or.

i«~

Dear Sister: —I suppose that this letter will s-irprisa you as 1 guess that you not c-xpsct to hear from me any mojo, as you thought 1 was killed at tho buttle of Santiago. Well, I am still on ear and I am well, but 1 just got in'cr tho fever. 1 had the fever very bad for three weeks and am weak now from the effects of it. Well, Annie I have seon a hot timo since you last heard from me. I wa.-* in tho battle of Santiago and in the thickest of it. My regiment belonged to Gon. Kent's division and that division saw the hardest lighting. 1 had some narrow escapes but never faltered. I got used to it and did not mind the bullets. We fought two days and at night we had to dig trenches and lay in them night and day and watched tho enemy. This was done up till the 1 Itli of July. Firing was kept up on different days and the shells certainly come close.

I am sore and full of rheumatism from lying in trenches. The 9th infantry had the honor of being in front of the palace on the day the Spaniards surrendered and I traded hard tack for Spanish money. The people were half starved and they would give anything for something to eat. I never saw such misery in all my life and I never want to see it again small children hunting around garbage piles for something to eat and you could count every bone in their body, and there was always a funeral, dead Cubans lying in the streets, having died of yellow fever, and tho tolling of tho many church bells made me think that Santiago was the city of the dead. Only for what 1 had seen I cjuld not stand it so well, but 1 had seen ditches full of Spaniards lying every way mangled and torn by shot and shell, and I saw many of our poor boys the same way. Just think of men lying on the ground wounded calling for water and tho rattle of dying artillery coming along may be to crush tho life out of him, and the buisting shells of tho enemy dropping all around. It could not be helped '.he grass was too high to see anything. I am fairly well now and am improving rapidly, thank Gcd, so good-bye. 1'rum your loving brother,

have known him a good many years. Ho has always been a Democrat of the hardshell variety, and ho has always followed the dictates of his own eonecience. He has been threatened v?ith persona! violence, but let those who attack him study well before doing so. I once met Mr. Luse in the streets of another town when ho was engaged iu a bitter political light, He had a market basket on his arm, and in the basket under a paper was a navy revolver with a bore like a piece of gas pipe. I asked no explanations, and he gave none. But he was not molested, and won his figlit. And be will win this one, fur Joe Cheadle wi.l go down to defeat just as sure as election day comes."

Will Stevens, of Company M, is homo ou a furlough and tells of an exciting incident which occurred just as he left the camp. Stevens is the cook and when he received bis furlough Herman Coons was detailed to take his place, Herman having boasted frequently of prowess in a culinary Hue. It seems that the first meal he prepared he made a largo batch of rice pudding, a favorite dibh in camp. Lnfortunately he flavored it with onions and when the hungry members of the company discovered the peculiarity of their longed for pudding they determined that Herman should eat it all. They started after him and he started for Knoxvilie. As Stevens left, tho pursuit was growing warm and it realiy looked as though Herman had a square meal ahead of him.
