TOOK A SHOCK-

Night Operator Deardorf, of the Vandalia, Gets His Fill of Lightning,

Night Operator Deardorf, of the Vandalia, had an experience with .lightning last week which he will not forget to his dying day. He was alone in the office when the heavy storm came rolling in from the north and soon the great sparks came shooting in over the wires so lively that he concluded to retire to tha back part of the room. As he passed the telephone a terrific bolt came bursting in, smashing the instrument to splinters and knocking him over against the wall. He staggered out through the men's waiting room and stood on the platform he does not know just how long. Finally he became conscious to the fact that it was raining hard and that he was drenched to the skin. Still only half recovered he returned to the office and had just entered and was standing on the very spot where he stood when shocked so severely when a second bolt came in over the telephone. This floored him completely and he lost conEciousnesB. When he recovered he was lying prone on the floor and the Btorm had passed away. He was very weak and it was some time before he was able to drag himself to a chair. He suffered considerably and on Saturday when relieved was still in a dazed condition How long he was unconscious he does not know, but it was probably a couple or three hours.

WAGES PAID FOR LABOR. NORTHWEST CONFERENCE. HEALTH OF INDIANA-

Discussion as to Klectlon of Clerical and Lay Delegates to the Geueral Conference.

According to arrangements of the bishops, the Northwest Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will convene at Frankfort, September 6. Unusual interest attaches to this session owing to the fact that it is the time for electing clerical and lay delegates to the general conference. One clerical delegate is elected for every forty-five members of the conference, and one for any remaining fraction of forty-five, provided the fraction be thirtv or more.

It is expected that the conferen^ will have four clerical delegates in the next general conference, which convenes in Chicago the 1st of next May. Heretofore the laymen have had only two delegates in conferences where there were two clerical delegates, or t^re, and in conferences where there was only one clerical delegate the laymen had only one. The annual conferences have, since the last general conference, voted by a large majority to change the discipline, making clerical and lay delegations equal.

The general conference will probably concur with the annual conferences, so there is little doubt that the lay electoral conference, after electing the two delegates already provided for by the discipline, will elect two pro visional delegates, who will be seated as soon as the required change of the present rule is completed.

The lay electoral conference is composed of one delegate from each charge, elected by the quarterly conference. These elections in the quarterly conference are now in Drogress, and will be completed when all the .fourth quarterly conferences have been held.

The laymen who have been elected to the lay electoral conference, and other leaders of the church, are beginning to agitate the question as to who shall be their representatives in the coming general conference. Among the clergy there is a tendency, the laymen say, on the part of some to create class distinction.

A large element in the conference assert that only pastors should be elected. This would leave out all of the five presiding elders.

FlRST TELEGRAPH FRANK.

Sent to Gen. Lew Wallace's Father in Recognition of Work.

Gen. Lew Wallace is not the first member of his line to be distinguished. His father, who had served Indiana as governor and congressman, was one of the foremost men of his time The elder Wallace was a broad and liberal statesman, with illimitable faith in the progress of the nation. It was owing to this faith that he lost his seat in congress. The governor represented an Indiana district in the congress to which Prof Morse's telegraph scheme first unsuccessfully appealed for aid. Among the chief advocates of the invention was Gov. Wallace. He spoke and voted for the appropriation to carry out the work. After the session he found that the rural portions of his district were Bolidly arrayed against him. Even in the towns the business men were opposed to the expenditure of the public funds for such a chimerical scheme, as the much-ridiculed plan of sending messages by electricity on simple wires was styled, and the campaign was one of the most bitter in Hoosier politics. "Don't vote for a man who wanted to give the government's money away to an electric telegraph," was the opposition cry, and it won.

A few years later the telegraph had become a success. It did not send the governor back to Washington, but the telegraph company, in recognition of his services, sent him and his fpmily a frank during his lifetime. It was one of the first, and was certainly one of the most deserved privileges of the sort granted.

PART SECOND

JEFF STEWART SUED

His Alleged Crooked Canhler Asks Monetary Solace In Considerable Quantity.

The Indianapolis Journal last Saturday says: "In the superior court yesterday Marie Williams brought a damage auit against Jefferson Stewart, proprietor of a grocery at 444 west Washington street. The plaintiff avers that on account of an assertion made by Stewart her good name has been injured to the extent of 810,000. She claims Stewart charged that she had taken from the cash drawer in his Bt^"^ She says she was made ill because'Jy worry and anxiety and had to pay oive doctors' bills."

tewart

The above will be surprising to Mr. Stewart's friends in Crawfordsville. According to Mr. Stewart's story the girl should thank him for not sending her to prison. Mr. Stewart tells that the girl was detected in the act of robbing his cash drawer by his brother-in-law, Arthur Davis, who had been set to spy upon her. She confessed and acknowledged to have stolen #217, which Bum was paid back to Mr. Stewart by the girl's uncle, who resides in Decatur, 111. Mr. Stewart states that he has a statement signed by the girl, in which she acknowledges the theft. If Mr. Stewart's story is correct Miss Williams ^rill have rough sailing in her damage suit. Mr. Stewart and his wife are now east on a pleasure trip.

AN OLD TIME POEM.

A Sketch of Primitive Indiana Preserved la Crude Verne.

At the old settlers1 meeting near Thorntown the other day, Hon. P. S. Kennedy recited the once famous but now almost forgotten poem, "The Hoosier's Nest":

I'm told In rldlutf somowhoro west, A stranger found a 1 locator's nest. In other words, a Buckeyc cabin, Just big enough to hold Queen Mab In.

Its situation low but airy,

Vf

as on the border of a pralrio And foarlng ho might bo benighted, lie hailed tlio house and then alighted. The Hoosier mot him at the ior— Their salutations soon were o'er. lie took the stranger's horse aside And to a sturdy sapling tied. Thou having stripped the saddle off, He fed hliu In a sugar trough.

The stranger stooped to onter In, The entrance closlog with a pin And manifested strong desire To seat him by the log-heap Are, Where half a dozen lloosleroons, With mush and milk tin cups and spoons, White heads, bare feet and alrty fucos, Seemed much ltidlnod to keep their places But madam, anxious to display ller rough but undisputed sway, Her offspring to the ladder led And cufTod tho youngsters up to bod.

Invited shortly to partako Of veolson, millc and Johnny cake, The stranger mado a hearty meal, And glances round tho room would steal. One side was lined with divers garments, The other spread wlfh skins of varmints Dried pumpkins overhead were strung, Whore venison hams in plenty hung Two rifles ulaced above tho door, Two dogs lay stretched upon the floor. In short, the domicile was rife With specimens of Hoosier life.

The host, who centered his affections On game and ranue and quarter sections, Discoursed his weary nue^t for hourj Till somnus' all composing powers Of sublunary cares bereft'em And then—no mattor how the story ended, The application I Intended Is from the famous Scottish poet, Who seemed to feel as well as know it, That buily Chiels aud clover Lizzies Arobred In sic away as this Is.

This poem was written by John Finley, a local poet of Richmond, in 1830, and was rescued from oblivion by Hon. Oliver H. Smith, and preserved in hia

Early Indiana Trials and/ Sketches."
