'I AM NOT MADt"

So 8ays George Longnecker, of Ladoga, Who Haft Been So Declared.

Last Tuesday deputy sheriff Barton went to Ladoga and arrested George Longnecker, of that place,, who was some days ago declared insane by a commission composed of Dr. Price and Squires Stilwell and Long. Barton had been warned that he would probably have trouble and he went heavily armed, 'but only to meet with an agreeable Bur prise. Longnecker, while greatly surprised, showed no signs of causing any trouble and came to jail like a little man. He had had no intimation that proceedings were instituted against him until Barton came with the order from the central hospital. Upon arriving here he sent for George Harney, who visited him at the jail and who is firmly convinced that the man is not insane. Longnecker was naturally embarrassed, but gave Mr. Harney a straight talk and begged him to intercede in his behalf. He has no relatives to help him. He is a tailor and it Beems th^t some fellows saw him standing before a looking glass a few nights ago brandishing tt pair of shears and wildly gesticulating. Acting upon this they caused a commission of lunacy to be called. It is stated that Longnecker was sknply practicing his part in an amateur show to be given soon.

BURIED FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS

And the Skeletons are Found In Perfect Condition—A Case from Brown Township.

In 1843, on a hill above Indian Creek, in Brown township, Mrs. Stone and her sister, Miss Conner, were buried in the burying ground of the Conner family. Recently, their sister, the widow James, decided to remove the bones of these loved oneB to the graveyard at Freedom church, and the disinterment was made Monday. To the surprise of those present the skeletons were found in perfect condition and even the smallest bones were saved. The bodies had been buried in a stiff clay, and this had prevented decay. The old fashioned coffins, the flesh, and clothes had crumbled into dust during the fifty-seven years they had rested there and this dust was taken up and buried with the bones. The two ladies died within a short time of each other and are well remembered by Mrs. James, who was considerably younger than they were.

The Fuel Qaeatlon.

Lafayette Times: Dr. Tharp, of Crawfordsville, will no doubt be pleased, when, upon reading the report of 8Ute Geologist Blatchley, he learns that the supply of eoai in Indiana is still good for 300 years. Of eourae if the parson is perfectly sure that his information regarding the end of the world in 1915 is not a "grapevine" message, then he will have no uneasiness concerning the fuel question in the meantime. On the contrary, it ought to pleaBe him to think that he can use coal liberally during the remainder of the time and still have enough left to make quite an addition to the fire which is to consume us at that time. I am glad of it myself, for, if thv world goes up in fire and smoke, according to Dr. Tharp'B latest advices, I want the fire to be a good hot one, so that it will be soon over with. I want no slow process in mine.

IN GALLUS OLD KENTUCKY.

Oapt. H. Talbot Makes an JEloquent .... Address Before the Blue and Gray at Cynthiana.

The big reunion of the blue and gray at Cynthiana, Ky., last'week was a notable event in the annals of the blue grass state, and tLe Cynthiana Democrat gives the affair fi much space. Among other things it says:

The principal feature of the reunion of the 7th Kentucky Cavalry held at Cynthiana on October 4th, was the elegant and patriotic address of (japt. H, H. Talbot, of Crawfordsville, Indiana. Among other things was a compliment to Cynthiana hospitality, when he said: "Through your honorable mayor you have turned over to us the keys of your beautiful city, that unlock the doors of peace, friendship and good will and links us into one. More than a third of a century ago we, of the blue, came to this place and did not say, 'by your leave' we would like to have the keys of your city we

juBt

simply took them. Now you generous and forgiving people come at this good hour with the keys of your city on a silver waiter, as it were, and say: 'Boys in blue, boyB in gray, take them and open the store houses of bounty." Speaking of the picture of "The Lost Cause,1'he 6aid: "There were a thousand such homes that you old veterans in gray returned to. Your all had been lost, but with that undaunted nerve and bravery, that you had so well displayed on many a battlefield,vyou went to work and to-day the evidence of that brave effort and good citizenship is the 'new south,' blossoming as the rose, with Fitzhugh Lee and old fight ing Joe Wheeler at the front rank under the stars and stripes. "Yes, my old comrades in gray, we who wore the blue are willing to-day to dip our flags in greeting to your undaunted gallantry and bravery and we express the wish that the blue and gray in this the declining years of their life's drama, may be welded to gether in an unbroken chain of friendship and peace. "In paradise, dear friends, on its sunny slopes, we Bee a mighty host of the blue and gray. Rank on rank, side by aide they stand. Grant, the silent, standing by Lee, the superb. Thomas, the rock of Chickamauga, touching elbows witlr that meteor of the battle field, Stonewall Jackson. The gallant Sherman shoulder to shoulder with the AppoUo Belvedere of Kentucky chivalry, Albert Sidney Johnson. Out of the silence we hear from their great captains the command: 'Attention! Salute the land of the free and the home of the brave.' At the command every hand goes up to this, the greatest and best nation of the earth. "If the United States is to be the sponsor for liberty it has to depend on its Dewgys, Wheelers, Hobsons, and Funstons. They give a new glory to the flag, and lift it higher and carry it further. It is the valor of such men as they that sets our frontier where ever the Bhadow of the flag may be cast."

He Repented.

On Saturday evening James Stump left the city in company with Mrs. Riley, whose relations with him have been notorious for some time. No more was heard from them until Mon day, when Stump telephoned from Vincennes asking his wife if it would be all right if he returned home again He declared that Mrs. Riley was not with him. Mrs. Stump told him to remain away and then telephoned the chief of police to arrest the pair if they were found together Later she received word that Mrs Riley was not at the boarding house where Stump was stopping. She agreed to go to Vincennes and appear against them if they were caught to gether, but has since received no word from there.

A COMPLIMENT'TO LANDIS.

Dercfocratic Organ Recognizes in Him a Valuable Representative.

The following from the Lafayette Journal, the Democratic organ of Tippecanoe county, is causing much comment over the Ninth district:

Congressman Landis says he is not a candidate for the office of governor. And there is another evidence of his very high forehead. If he can be returned to congress it will be worth a great deal more to him and worth more to the party of his district. Landis is a Republican and an uncompromising one. But the Democrats want that kind of men in the opposition. Furthermore when a congressman gives evidence of his strength and usefulness to his district he had better be kept in office. When the delegation of a state is changing continually, it is weak, helpless and ineffective. Landis giveB evidence of winning a desirable place in congressional life, and if that district cannot be carried by a Democrat, he would be a better choice than any new man the Republicans might Bend.

Iowa has the strongest delega­

tion of any state in congress, and it is chiefly because they have found a number of good men, and then have reelected them. When a state delegation is made up of new men every two years, one has to look into a directory to find who represents the district."

TAX LEVIES COMPARED.

Statistician Gathering Figures to dhow Effects of the New'Law,

State Statistician Conner is getting in reports from the county auditors on comparative estimates of expenses and salaries with amounts allowed by the county councils by their action in September, and also comparative county tax levies under the old law in 1898, and under the new law of 1899. He is also receiving comparative township levies of 1898 under the old law and those of advisory boards of 1899. Mr. Conner says thus far there iB a general large saving under the new law, and also a general lowering of county and township levies as compared with last year. He believes that the public will be much surprised at the great benefit derived from the new law.

A

True Statement.

To the Editor of the Journal. NEW MABKBT, Ind., Oct. 6, 1899.—I write to correct the account in last week's JOUBHAX regarding the death of MrB. Edna Matthews. The facts are these: Mrs. Matthews had lived about eighteen months in the home of Rev. Hugh McCalip, aB a domestic. On Thursday evening when Mr. ^nd Mrs. McOalip returned home from the fair they found Mrs. Matthews very sick. They at once summoned a physician, who pronounced it a case of poisoning. Mra. Matthews stoutly denied having taken anything except a dose of Garfield tea. However, the following Monday she confessed to having taken a teaspoonful of Rough on Rats. She lingered for fifteen days and died from an inflamation of stomach and bowels, resulting from the action of the poison. DB. 0. H. WALDKJT.

THE FAMILY SKELETON.

It Was a Peace/ul Old Thing and Ha«l to Be Dug Out Before Making Its ••'. Presence Known.

Thomas Gray, who lives northeast of the city in the Peterson neighborhood, is preparing to build a new house and in order to locate it on the site he desired he removed

hiB

old residence

from the pretty knoll on which it stood. This old house had been bnilt forty-two years ago, about the time Mr. Gray was born, and had been occupied by several families in its time. When it had been removed Mr. Gray and several workmen began to excavate for the cellar and furnace rooms and had not dug over two feet into the soft earth until they came upon the fttmains of a human. Only the bones remained and not all of these were found, although several of them were in a remarkably good state of preservation. The skeleton was evidently that of a powerful man, the bones being unusually large. The teeth were remarkably good and indicated that he bad not died in old age.

No one has any theory to offer as to the identity of the deceased, although some think the bones to be those of Indian. This is hardly plausible, however, as the Indians alwayB buried their dead in cemeteries and at a depth of at least five feet. No one has any explanation to offer, so that it is likely that the matter will forever remain a mystery.

Death or Elizabeth Davis.

Elizabeth Davis, relict of the Rev. Rees Davis, one of the pioneer ministers of the county, pastel away Tuesday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Whittington, on south Washington street. She was past 83 years of age and had been a willing and able worker in the Baptist church for over sixty years. She leaves only one child living, Mra. Rebecca Whittington, but several grandchildren and great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren, thus seeing her fifth generation.

Prayer service was held at the home on south Washington street at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and the funeral service and interment will be at Freedom at 1:30 this afternoon. -f

Gov. Mount and the Challenger.

Indianapolis Journal: When Govern-or-Mount went to the voting booth yesterday morning early he was met by the Democratic challenger, who asked, "Governor, do you consider your residence here or at Shanaondale?" "It is not for me to say where I live," replied Governor Mount. The challenger did not catch the meaninf of thr, reply Until a bystander explained that the constitution of the state requires the governor to have his residence at the state capital.

A. Splendid Address.

In its account of the meeting of the Indiana Synod the Lafayette Journal says: "Dr. W. P. Kane, who has lately £9- .: sumed the dutieB as president of Wabash college, made a splendid address in behalf of that institution. He waa formerly pastor of the Second Presbyterian church here and was given, an enthusiastic reception."

Traded Property.

Dudley H. Jackson has traded his, east Wabash avenue residence to Dr E. W. Ream for his residence propersties on east Market Btreet and Whit^ lock avenue. Dr. Ream will remove, to his new home inji few days.

WOMEN AVOID OPERATIONS

a J. GRAHAM, Sheridanville, Pa., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :—I had suffered for several years with female troubles and doctored until I was discouraged. I felt wretched and tired of living. I had dis» ease of kidneys, bladder trouble, dropsy and bloating, had womb trouble and a large tumor had formed in fact all my organs were out of fix.

Seeinga woman's letter praising your remedies, I wrote to her and she begged of me to try it, telling me all that it had done for her. I bought six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and now cannot express my gratitude to you. The tumor"began to come away in pieces and I got better all tho time. I believe now that I am entirely cured. '•MV doctors could not believe it at first, as they all had told mo that my case was a hopeless one, and no human power could do mo any good. They were astounded. If I can say anything that can help other women, I shall bo glad to."
