INDIANA, FRIDAY,

A FRAUD CHARGED.

An Interesting Salt Filed In the Circuit Court Against Joseph T. Hnnnn, of Kansas.

Suit has been fiied in the circuit court against Joseph T. Hanna and wife, of Kansas, to set aside a certain contract and deeds on the ground that the instruments were drawn with the intent of perpetrating a fraud. The suit is brought by Wm, G, Hanna, administrator of the estate of Mrs. Margaret McMurray, and in the complaint an interesting allegation is made. It seems that when Mrs. McMurray died she left an estate worth several thousand dollars' with only her brothers and sisters as her heirs. The defendant, Joseph T, Hanna, is one of these heirs, and a portion of the estate is a note given by him to the decedant in 1880 for 83,686. With the interest due and attorney fees this note is now said to represent a debt to the estate of 39,500. This is said to be in excess of the defendant's share of the estate and it 1b alleged that he is attempting to escape payment by deeding

Thompson's Irish Story.

Maurice ThMppaon has a fishing story in the IAppincott for September, in which the humor of

hiB

It never rains, but it potfre the hungry swine, hearing the voice of their negligent master, laid to much weight against the rotten rails of the pen, and the fence broke, letting them out.

All together the three old men dropped everything and scrambled down into the chill water to rescue Betsy.

And the swine pouring noisily from the pen, eat'the catfish, leaving not a fin or a scale' [The story is.a good one but it does not eound like Mr. Thompson. He has been a successful fisherman too long to become imbued with the idea that catfish hive scales.]

A Parallel Case.

"An American Forerunner of Dreyfus" is one of the timeliest articles in the September Century. It* tells the story of a gallant naval officer, early in the present century, who was sys tematically persecuted throughout his oareer because of his Jewish faith and antecedents, He had hie supporters in high places, but a large majority of his brother officers Seem to have regarded him very much as tha French artillery officer of to-day is regarded by most of his Christian fellow country njen,

Must Never Cbuie Down.

Ed Sergeat a lew, days ago received a letter from his son, Harry, of the fourth United States infantry, at Ma-, nlla, in which Harry said he had read some anti-expansion papers sent from the states and was made to wonder if the people here were not with the soldiers. He asked his father how it was and Mr. Sergent replied that the sentiment of the people here wa% that the nag should never come down, all good citizens standing by the administration.

interest in the McMurray estate to his wife. He has made a contract to this effect with her and the Buit is to set this aside. If this cannot be done Mrs. Hanna can take her husband's share in the estate and the administrator will have to look to him to pay the note.

ern characters is shown in the following extract: "Air thet sister Betsy Podger asettin' up ther' a feeshin'?" Daddy Kirkendall queried doubtfully. "Hit air," said Lem. "Well, well!" the good man exclaimed.

And promptly as comes the stroke of the bass drum at the melodramlo crisis in a circus performance, Betsy heaved up a three-pound catfish from the opalescent pool and dangled it crszily, her rod bending to a semicircle, her elean blue calico sunbonnet tipping far back and palpitating in response to the struggles of the wearer as she tried hard to save her slimy and prickly catch. "Hoi* it stiddy, Betsy t" Podger cried in a Buddenf access of excitement. "Fling hit in through the mill winder!" shouted Lem. "Don't tech it, Sister Betsy" Daddy Kirkendall warned, "hit'll stick a fin elean through yer hand!"

Now, Betsy wap a woman, and the chorus of masculine voices bellowing upon her back gave her nerve centers a great shock.

She swung herself around to Bee what it meant, while all the blood in her veina gushed into her heart. At the same time tfie catfish lunged frantically, so ttiit she let goher tackle. All three of ^he men flung up their hands with a'shout of warning, anddowa tumbled Betsy from the forebay, a sheer fall oi twelve feet, into the water with a loud plunge. "Luddy mussy!" roared Podger. "My Bakes alive!" exclaimed Lem.

INDIANA G. A. R.

Representatloa of This State at Coining National Euoampment.

The Indiana department officers of the G. A. R, will leave for Philadelphia next Sunday afternoon to attend the national encampment. They will travel in a special train from Indianapolis over the Pennsylvania Hnes, and will leave the Union station at 2:30 o'clock. All the officers of the department are expected to go. On the train with them will be representatives of the Woman's Relief Corps and the G. H. Thomas Post, which will act as an escort to the Indiana officers. The train will reach Philadelphia about noon on Mooday, and Indiana headquarters will be opened at the Continental hotel. Besides the department officers it is estimated that from 1,000 to 1,500 veterans will go from all over Indiana. Free sleeping quarters will be opened to them in a hall at Twentysixth ptreejt and Girard avenue.

The Indiana delegates will meet at state headquarters on Tuesday evening for a conference, when it will be decided who the delegation will favor for commander-in-chief. Three candidates have been announced for the place—W. C. JohnsoD, of Cincinnati A. D. Snow, of New York, and Leo Bossieur, of St. Louis, and it is not known just how the Indiana delegates will vote. It is thought they will favor either Chicago or Denver as the next meeting place of the veterans.

There will be one candidate—Irvin Bobbins, of Indianapolis—presented to the encampment for election to the office of junior viee-commander-in-chief.

The parade of the veterans will occur on Tuesday, and Indiana is expected to make a good showing in the line. William L. Dunlap, department commander, will head the division. The soldiers from this state will meet at Sixteenth street and Girard avenue, at 10:30 Tuesday morning, to take part in the parade.

l'oet Elmore Says Some Very Lovely Things About This Center of Culture.

Jim Elmore, the Shakespeare of Ripley township, was in the city to-day soliciting subscription for his forthcoming book. He Is meeting with success that Is dazzling and it is no wonder. The muse boosts him higher and higher every day and in attestation of this we submit the following, hot from his inspired pen: The city of Orawfordsvlllp is a beautiful town Whore kuowlcdgo and learning cloth abound, In tho groat theatrical arena. It Is a place that has much fame And transient peoplo are getting taniu, When In tho city of Athene. Our modern peoplo have pluck and skill They push right onward up tho hill, Whore natural scienco Is gleamy. And yet they associate tho whole, And glvo to physics a perfect soul, These students of Athene.

Cornmorco is pressing In every nook The old landmarks they havo forsook, And all that's dark and dreamy. Nothing assumes a haggard look, And life is like a sparkling brook In the bustling city of Athene.

Wo are marching onward with tho tide, Around the world wo swiftly glide The uturo looks bright and toemy. The laggard Is dropping out bohlnd, Although their friends are true and klud In the ever aspiring Atheuo.

Wo cannot stay this business roll While pressing onward to reach tho goal, In this philosophical arena We are pushing on toward the skies, To meet the patriarchs so wise— Our peoplo of great Athene.

The annals of time will toll our fate, And of our peoplo growing groat In our city with such vohemy Our fame is laureled in every clime And history Impressed on the wings of time, Of our people of groat Athene.

He has not seen her or the rig since but ascertained that she headed for CrawfordBville for the purpose of meeting hereThuriday a young man who is said to have stolen a horse at Clinton, 111. This young fellow is said to have two other girls with htm. The police were acquainted with the facts but so far have been unable to locate the parties.

Capt. Allen Appointed.

Capt. Dave Allen, of Frankfort, has been given a captain's commission in the regular army for service in the Philippines. It was an honor he sought diligently and it is not very likely that he will refuse. In fact, he stated last night that he would accept it. ThiB will remove him as a Democratic congressional candidate in this district. This is to .be.-regre the captain would havefwen easy?

Labor Day Parade.

Lieut. Harney, who has charge of the labor day parade iliost earnestly requests all the manufacturers and merchants of the place to represent their respective businesses in the parade.

It iB to be hoped that this parade will be one of the most successful features of the day.

Mean Treatment.

The Rockville Republican this week vents its spleen on Hon. Jim Johnston by reproducing a communication from him just aB Jim sent it in, spelling, punctuation and all. Mr. Johnson may have sinned greatly in the eyes of the Republican tut it is doubtful If his offense merited the punishment meted out to him.
