What the Frankfort Presbyterians did to Rev. W. 0. Loucks, formerly of this city, was good and plenty. The Times says: "The Rev. Wellington 0. Loucks will not become the regular pastor of the FirBt Presbyterian church of this city. This much was determined last night at a congregational meeting. AB is known, Rev. Loucks has occupied the pulpit for two Sundays, a probable call being in view, both by himself and the congregation It was apparent soon after the congregational meeting was called, last Sunday, that there would be such opposition to him that the call, if made, would not be unanimous. As the time for the meeting drew near, this opposition, instead of giving way, increased until, as the vote shows, the congregation was very nearly evenly divided. There were 109 votes cast on the proposition of extending the call to Rev. Loucks, 57 in favor of the call, and 52 against. In the face of the practice to extend a call only when it is unanimous, or practically so, the very strong minority made a call in this Instance out of the question.

Wants Her Promise Fulfilled.

Mrs. Walter 0. Clark, of Clark township, has filed a peculiar claim in the circuit court againBt the estate of Benjamin F. Olark who died several months ago. The claimant is the wife of a young man who was caised by decedent and the Btory she tells is an odd one. She says that several years ago the man who is now her husband was courting her (she was then Mag gie Strickler) but that she did not think his prospects in life were good enough to warrant her marrying him ThiB news came to the ears of his foster father, the decedent, and he sailed to see her stating that he had legally adopted the young man and would make him his heir to the extent of $8,000. Upon this assurance she accepted the addresses of Walter Olark and in due time married him

During Mr. Clark's declining years they gave him all attention and expected him to fulfill his promise. When he died, however, they learned that he had never legally adopted Walter as he had claimed to have done and that he left no will, thus allowing the property to go to his blood relatives who are his nephews and neices. In view of the promise made .by decedent to the claimant and the eervises rendered him in his

Miss Nicholson at Danville.

The Danville, 111.. Commercial commenting on Miss Bess Nicholson's entrance to the Danville conservatory of music as a teacher says "After the term of her engagement has expired she will be permanently located in the city.

He is now up on information filed in the circuit court

Hustled In Vain.

Rockville Tribune: Judge Seller, of Crawfordsville, was here to try the Swaim case, Tuesday. In the wind up it was discovered that some way there was some money in sight As migh be expected, a controversy arose. Lane claimed it, Mose claimed it and Lafe"ought to have claimed it. It wae in the handB of the clerk and could only, be recovered by legal process Seller rushed for. pen and paper—BO did Puett, and both began writing out their respective clients' claims as though they were preparing copy for a noon extra of the New York World. The clerk refused to pay the money to anybody but Shortridge, the man who had paid it to him as cash surety for the appearance of Lane in court. What an incentive to legal activity a little cash can be, when no cash is expected.

A Valuable Souvenir of the Late War.

Dumont Kennedy is the poBBessor of a Mauser rifle sent him by an army officer in Cuba. The gun, a thirty calibre, was captured by our soldiers at Santiago, Cuba, and while rather a clumBy looking gun, is a piece of fine workmanship made by a German factory for the Spaniards. It is a tfard shooter, shooting with considerable accuracy for a distance of two miles The cartridges are loaded with com pressed powder and Bteel ball. Some sample shooting by Mr. Kennedy shows the force of the ball. One ball at a distance of fifty yards going en1 tirely through' twenty-five inches of solid oak, burying Itself too far in the ground to recover it. Several shots were fired into large trees, the ball going entirely through. This gun cartridges and samples of shooting will ba on exhibition in the widow of L. W. Otto's jewelry store during the week of the street fair.
