HARRY WILSON AS A LECTURER.

He Addresses The Santiago Lodge Good Templars in a Pleasing Manner.

We clip from the Chilian Times, of Santiago, Ohili, the only English paper in that country, the following which will interest the friends 01 Hon. Harry Wilson. "On Tuesday evening, 12th, as was announced, the Hon. H. L. Wilson, minister plenipotentiary of the United States, initiated the course of lectures for the current year with the theme,

s,South

American Liberators."

"Taking each in order the lecturer regaled the audience with a concise, lucid and discriminating review of the heroes, Miranda, Bolivar, San Martin, and O'Higgins. Without striving to cover personal defects or shortcomings the honorable lecturer drew panoramic word pictures extending from their youth to the ends of their lives, dwelling on their 'abnegation, the marked and slightly appreciated obstacles that impeded their efforts for freedom, their failures, successes, and, finally, called attention to the death of each in exile. "Judging from th6 treatment of the subject it is evident that the honorable lecturer was not satisfied with recourse to his reading as a student but that since his arrival in Santiago he haB taken advantage of every opportunity to make himself acquainted with the more intimate history of the countries of South America and of the personages of prominence in its annals. "Mr. Wilson has thejfaculty ofjcompletely absorbing tbesattention of his hearers and those of Tuesday regretted the shortness of the hour, at the same time congratulating themselves that the.evening, raw and threatening, had not had sufficient weight to make them lose the remembrance of former evenings, listening to the same lecturer. "At the close, Mr. Lumsden, the chairman, repeated acknowledgments already evidenced but applause this gentleman receiving the thanks of those present. "Oar hearty congratulations to Messrs. Harris and Donald Kerr, who are the prime movers in the present year."

ENCOURAGES GOOD ROADS.

Free Karal Kail Delivery Has Already Caused the Building of Two Hundred Hiles of New Road In Indiana.

E. H. Hathaway, state inspector of rural free mail delivery, left for Washington last Friday, in response to an order from the postoffice authorities, says the Indianapolis News. He will be transferred to the rural mail work in the eastern division, where some special tasks will be assigned to him. It is not known whether the change is to be permanent S. H. Rathbone will take charge of the Indiana work, at least temporarily.

Since Mr. Hathaway came to Indiana he has eBtablised nearly twentyfire new mail routes in various parts of the state, and has inspected and reorganized many others. He says that everywhere the people who are receiving mail by the newer method are enthusiastic over it, and are doing what they can to promote the interests of the routes. It is shown, Mr. Hathaway says, that it coets about half as much to deliver a letter ten miles in the country as it used to cost to take one from a postoffice to its destination in a city. He says the rural mail routes in this state have increased the mail business in the districts where they are operated about 75 per cent One of the most important effects of the service has been to increase the interest in building new roads and repairing old ones, that the routes may be more successfully operated. Mr Hathaway says that this alone has aaused two hundred miles of new roads to be constructed in the state.

The Coroner Investigates.

Coroner Ball was up from Waveland last Friday and Saturday, investigating the death of JameB B. Leffew, the

dier suicide. He found that he came to his death by poison, self administered. Coroner Ball made an unsuccessful attempt to.learn what became of Leffew's money. It is known that he had $40 or 850 in his possession late on the evening he took poison, but Friday' morning only a little over 82 could be found* when his effects were examined lat til Douglas placo.

A SOLDIER'S SUICIDE.

Spurned By His Wife, James B. Leffew Takes Poison to End His Troubles.

James B. Leffew, a returned soldier from the 131st U, S. infantry, came into The Journal office Thursday, Oct. 19, and requested the publication of the fact that he was to leave at once for Petersburg, to recruit for the army. He alleged that he was commissioned so to do, but subsequent developments go to show that he was romancing. He was not commissioned to recruit at all, and on his person last Thursday was found a discharge from the army because of disability.

Leffew was enlisted here some two or three months ago by Capt. Tarlton for service in the 31st regiment, and left with that organization for the Pacific slope. There he was rejected for physical disabilities two or three weeks ago. He cams at once to Crawfordsville and-found on arriving here on Tuesday that hie wife had just entered suit for divorce. He was much depressed by this, but until last evening, seemed hopeful of persuading her withdraw the cane. He stood about the streets talking to her for some time Thursday, but was evidently unable to get her to consent to withdraw the action. Then he begau to drink and was quite drunk at 9 o'clock. is rumored that he had a fight and whipped a shyster of this city late in the evening, but this report cannot ba verified. Anyhow he was drunk and finally wandered to the home of one Joe Douglas, who lives in one of Zack Williams' cottages. He sat around with the Douglas people for some time and fiaally swallowed a powder which he said was a headache powder. Then he lighted a cigar and after he had smoked awhile he remarked that it was his last cigar on earth. He then stated that he had

Leffew's wife arrived at the bedside Friday morning and was greatly distressed, weeping copiously and repentantly. She said that when Jim left her Thursday afternoon he had quite a sum of money, but on his person Friday only about two dollars were found. ,• 8tand By the Flag.

Gen. Lew Wallace, in Indianapolis, la6t week, was pressed by a Sentinel reporter for an expression on the policy of expansion, and is quoted, viz: "I am for the boys in blue under the flig. The question of expansion, imperialism and all that may wait until the boys conquer these people. In "my judgment, the time to talk expansion and imperialism must be made to wait on the victory the boys are certain to win. This sentiment of mine is wholly independent of all political questions that have grown or may yet grow out of the whole Philippine business. The real patriot, in my judgment, is the man who stands by the fl»g at home or abroad. The day for the settlement of the questions growing out of the Philippine affair has not yet come. When it comes every man will be at liberty to express himself for or against the annexation of those islands. will be found among others with very decided opinions."

Swenrlngen-Brown. *.

Thursday, Oct. 19, at the home of the bride's grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Hiatt, occurred the marriage of Hugh Swearingen and MIsb Louise H. Brown. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. A. B. Cunningham, in the presence of the relatives of the contracting parties. Mr. and Mrs. Swearingen will go to housekeeping at once on the farm of the groom south-west of the city. Both young people have a large circle of warm friend and both are estimable and worthy.

ELEVENTH INDIANA.

The Annnal Reunion Is Held at Plymouth ®h°rch in ludianapolls.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The Eleventh Indiana volunteers held their annual convention at Plymouth church yesterday. The Eleventh saw some hard service and fought in fourteen hard battles. There were about seventyfive present, most of them from out of town.

Mr. Henry Hundardmark, of Kansas, met some of the veterans on the Btreet and said: -'Are you Eleventh boys? I came from Kansas to get to see you again. I'm the fellow who played chuck-a luck so much, but I've quit it and now have a farm of 1,500 acres to tend out in Kansas." He said crops had been good and that he would have 4,000 bushels of corn to sell and so thought he could afford to "meet with the boys just once more."

A resolution supporting the administration in its war policy was adopted and the following officers were elected:

President—James Kenroy, Anderson. Vice-President—John O'Riley, Terre Haute.

Secretary and Treasurer—W. C. Phillips, Indianapolis. Chaplain—Gen. McGinnis, Indianapolis.

Custodian of Colors—Thomas Hood, Franklin. Executive Committee—James R. Ross, Gen. McGinnis, W. 0. David, J. D. Leighty and W. F. R«ads.

Yesterday morning a love feast was held and in the evening a camp-fire, where an interesting program took place.

The veterans adjourned to meet next year during fair week instead of Oct. 19, as heretofore.

The Eleventh Indiana was formed

Gen. Lew Wallace being the captain of the Crawfordsville compauy. He rose to be a colonel of the regiment und subsequently became a majorgeneral.

Important Rales.

Two vitally important resolutions were adopted at the state meeting of the Red Men. One was to eventually exclude liquor dealers, retail or wholesale, and bartenders from the order. Henceforth none of these classes will be admitted to the lodge and any one who joins not in that business at the time or any one who is now a member and not engaged so, will be ousted if he engages in the business. The dealers who are now members of the order will not be forced out, however. It was adopted unanimously.

The other resolution provides an assessment of five cents a member per year for an orphans' fund. With the present membership this will make a total of $1,050 a year. Many states have adopted the plan and the whole membership of the United States will raise nearly Sl'2,000 a year. It is not the intention to build an orphans' home, but to put the children in homes where they will be taken care of.

A Unique Pipe.

Aif Lookabill is smoking a pipe that attracts considerable atention both because of its size and pattern. It is as large as a quart measnre at the bowl and is fashioned after the alligator's head. The pipe was secured for Mr. Lookabill by his old friend, Harrison McMainB, on the battlefield of Chickamanga, and was presented to him the othSr evening when about forty friends, headed by Dr. Tharp, gave him a surprise party. The relic is h'ghly treasured by Mr. Lookabill.

Sue the Big Four.

Ira Snyder and James Quillen have sued the Big Four railroad company for 8500. They allege that a shipment of stock made by them over the defendants' road was damaged to that amount. infant Died.

The young infant of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Eldridge, of Indianapolis, died Thursday, Oct. 19, at their home.

THE WOES OF JIM STOUT.

He Says His Wife Used Him For a Baffer and Then Discarded Him.

Jim Stout, accompanied by his lawyer, wandered into iLi. Jerk's office last Saturday to file his suit for divorce. Jim breathed a great sigh of reliefafter he had taken the affidavit, and smiled like a brand new man as he gave the deputy sheriff minute directions as to where he would find the fair defendant in a shanty along Sugar Creek. "She sure has led me a dog's life," said the spotless Jim, &bhe removed an ancient derby hat and rubbed a bald place on his head reflectively and tenderly. "And I want to say right here that I will look out for women in the future. They are bad propositions and need killin'. This here woman was named Nettie Gwinn when I first knew her and she was mighty foxy then. I saw she was takin' a shine to me all of a sudden butI was leary and didn't go to call on her like she asked ma to. I steered as clear as IJ could but that wasn't clear enough. She would see me on the street and would come trapsin' after me, 6milin' to beat the band and yellin' like three of a kind. She would yell, 'JimljOh, Jim! I want to see you a minute.' Then right there before everybody Bhe would run up and grab my arm and go kitin off down the streetfwith me just like she had a chattel mortgage on me. I always got away as soon aB I could but that wasn't seen enough. One day she told me what it all meant. She said that if I didn't marry her she would sue me. I tell you my old clock almost stopped when she told me that, for the jig was up^ and I was down. I didn't have money enough to run away and I knew blamed well if I stayed she conld outswear me in the courts. I did the best thing •& poor cuss like me could do and married her. We lived together two months and then she Bkated away. She {.didn't skate any too soon to suit me, either. I ve harnessed up a big enough of dough now to pay for a divon*^-^:,, friends, when I get it I amgoigg to jjo around the bloek every time- a woman comin'. If ever oneel^lps npj on me and tries to make a f«*^\ it's going to be a fight or a ffeci* race."
