TOOK HIS LIFE.

Kimer MyerH Swatlowuil Carbolic Acul and liledi In the ltoHd.

Last Thursday night ElmerV. Myers, the 18-year-old Bon of David Myers, of Borne five miles west of YountBville, went to call on Alice HendrickB, the daughter of Wesley Hendricks. The young people were to have been married last Sunday and spent the evening talking over their future bappinefcs They evidently had much to discuss, for it was two o'clock iu the morning before youog Myers took his leave. He seemed in his usual spirits and gave no evidonce of the rash step he had in mind, namely, the taking of h's own life in a horrible manner. After leaving his sweetheart Myers walked down the road some two hundred yards and deliberately swallowed several ounces of carbolic acid, throw ing the bottle to the roadside. He must have died almost immediately, for his body was fouud Friday morning lying face down in the road. The fuueral took place last Sun day, his appointed wedding day, the burial occuring at Oak Hill. MyerH had taken the bottle of acid from his mother's closet before leaving home and evidently had hiB finish mapped out. All are at a

Caught a l)re:ulful Cold.

Marion Iiooke, manager for T. M. Thompson, a large importer of fine millinery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, says: "During the late severe weather I caught a dreadful cold which kept me awake at night and made me unfit to attend my work during the day. One of my milliners was taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a severe cold at that time, which seemed to relieve her so quickly that I bought some for myself It acted like magic and. I began to improve at once. I am now entirely well and feel very pleased to acknowledge its merits." ior Bale by Nye &. ^oosp dru^giuts.

Something About tlin lit£ K.ncampiueut to !i« Held

The last time that the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held in Indianapolis was in 1S91. At that session it was voted to hold the next encampment in Fort Wayne. One of the reasons given for going the rounds of the other cities was that Indianapolis gave the veteran? little or no attention. This was doubtless true, but it was not due to any lBck of appreciation but because public attention was not called to the matter.

The encampment having been held in Fort Wayne, Evansville, Lafayette, Muncie, South Bend, Richmond, Columbus and Terre Haute, the invitation of Indianapolis wau accepted because no other city desired to assume the responsibility of the reception. And now that it has come to Iudianapolis again, its citizens have taken action which will insure the Grand Army and other bodies a welcome and a provision for their entertainment and appreciation of the ever honored associations and creditable to the patriotism and public spirit of the capitol city.

The session of the encampment will begin Wednesday, May 16, and close the 17th. A rate of one cent a mile over the railroads has been secured, inside of Indiana—a rate which the Grand Army in no other state has ever had. The tickets will be sold Tuesday and Wednesday and will be good until Saturday. The Grand Army headquarters will be at hotel English where the rates will be S3 per day. The rates in other hotels will be from to $2 50 or $3 according to rooms Accommodations will be obtained in boarding houses or private families at lower rates on application to Peter Zinn, secretary of executive committee.

One of the special features of the occasion will be the parade Wednesday afternoon. The march will be only a mile long so that all can walk it. The military, the fire department and other organizations will participate. Wendosday night camp fires will be held in Tomlinson Hall, Plymouth church aud in Fletcher Place church which will be addressed by nxon of national reputation. An abundance of music has been provided. All the theaters will have attractive programmes for the entire week.

These are but a few of the attractions. Indianapolis, one of the handsomest cities in the country, will have on its spring dress to welcome the veterans and their friends.

She alleges that the accident was the result of negligence on the part ot the company in not providing a watchman to watch the bridgo when the river was high and blocked with ice, and when the bridge was then threatened with destruction. Her husband was pinned under his engine and was so badly injured that he died soon after being taken from the wreck. Dennis Ruddle was the Bon of Patrick Ruddle of this city.

a Oxng «f "Filipino Wafcliingtoiifi" Down l.lke nogs.

Capt. D. F. Allen will have to change his tune if he makes the race for congress on the Democratic ticket. He is slaying too many "Filipiuo Washingtons" iu Luzon and erjoyiug the sport too well to be endorsed by the Democratic press of this district. Some weeks ago the captain and Ins jolly men ambushed & gang of Filipino soldiers aud 6imply wiped them off tho earth. The captain thus writes home to his relatives of the affair: "The ambush was along a sunken road, the high walls on either side, the bed of the dry stream at the bottom of the gulch, the position of the main body on the opposite side, coinm&uding the gulch to the bod of the stream below, the Hanking parties on either Bide, making it as you can see a veritable death trap. From the position I occupied, looking through the leafy

Bcreen with my field glass, I could Bee every object entering the road at the top of the gulch. To my intense gratification the enemy appeared marching from the east fully 150 strong. They entered the sunken road marching single file with their rifias slung across their backs, laughing and in the gayest good humor, marching on wholly unsuspecting of any danger. I allowed the column to approach within 25 yardB of my position when I opened fire. As I have shown, the position of my men were Buch that in whatever direction the enemy turned they ran up against the muzzles of my rifles. The engagement lasted an hour, the enemy scattering in all directions, making but a few feeble attempts to rally, leaving 24 dead upon the field and six rifles which I have sent to our headquarters. From the number of their dead I think a fair estimate of their wounded should be placed at not less than 50 Certainly, for some time this Filipino force will not be in first class condition for active service. In

By best jadgment there was not an 'insurrecto' who entered the sunken road but what was either killed or wounded."

Confusion ill Nameti of GragH S«B1. Somei time ago I enclosed in a letter to the secretary of agriculture some of the grasS seed known in western seed stores as "English blue grass." This seed is often confounded with Canadian blue grass, while these two grasses have no resemblance whatever. The following is the answer to my letter:

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6, 1900. MR. P.'A. KENNEDY, (Jrawfordsviile, Ind.

DEAR SIB:—In reply to your letter of January 4th, I would 6ay that the seed you enclose for identification is thar, of festuca pratensis, or meadow fescue. This graBB is often called English blue grass and is widely known under that name.

Canada blue grass is a most excellent pasture grass, but requires a very good soil to make it a productive hay grass. I have seen very little Canada blue grass hay. Hay of this grass, however, would undoubtedly be of greater food value than timothy and Consumers could well afford to pay a higher price for it. Your noteB in regard to its value in your Bection ar^ interesting. Yours truly,

The meadow fescue grass is tall and coarse and resembles orchard grass, while the Canada blue grass grows not more than 15 or 18 inches high, has a flattened stem, which always remains green and tender till it is killed by the frost, and the lateral branches which bear the seed, do not stand out at right angles to the main stem, like the Kentucky blue grass, but( form an acute angle'With the main stem. There should be an effort made to rectify the confusion of names of grasses at the seed stores. P. d. K.

PART SECOND

Tli« I'liiturt Stitlen Supreme Court SuNtalns An Indiana (Jouri.

Special to the Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, April 5) —The caBe of the State of Indiana against the Indiana Oil Company (Standard), was de* cidnd by the United States supreme court at Washington Olty to-day. It involves question of the right of com* panies boring for oil to permit a waste of the natural gaw. The state law

provides when gas is struck while boring that the oil well bo socurely capped and the gas preserved. Throe suits were decided to day. The Indianasupreme court which sustained the law is aflirmed. Attorney-General Taylor says that millions of feet of natural gas will be saved annually to consumers.

BOTH AFFIRMED.

Two Hard FotiRht CIIHOB Decided Filially an They tVero Decided Here.

As was announced in last week's JOURNAL the appellate court laBtThurBday aflirmed the judgment of the Montgomery circuit court in the case of the Chicnjro, 1 i-.dianapollR Sc Louisville Railway Lutnpany va. Wm Neff. Iu December, lay?, Neff was injured in a wreck whiln u. passenger on a Monon train going irom Orleans, Ind., to GreencaBtle. lie sued the railroad company and recovered 83,000 damages. The defendant appealed on the ground i,oat at the trial evidence was admitted an to the life-expectancy of man of the age of the plaintiff. The court, in deciding the appeal, says: "The court will take judicial knowledge of the United States mortality tableB and other standard tables of the same character."

The sarnc court also aflirmed the judgment of the Montgomery circuit court in the caBe of Emersou Ray VB. Hiram W. Moore, administrator of the estate of E. H. Dick et al. Dick had given Ray, his nephew, a note for S10,000, payable after his death, on condition that Ray would give up the patent gate business in which he was engaged and return to his family. When Ray sought to collect this note after tho death of Dick, the administrator defended the action on the ground that the note was an attempt to make a testamentary bequest in violation of tho statutes of Illinois, whore the note was executed that it was without consideration, a more gift between partieB living but not to take effect until after the death of the donor, and that Ray had failed to keep his part of the contract and had BIUCO accepting the noto and before Dick's death engaged in the businoss of selling patent gates which ho had agreed to abandon. The judgment of the trial court was against Ray, to ther effect that the estate was not liable on the note, and tbig judgment WRB upheld,

Two Fires.

Saturday afternoon the fire department was called to the home of Frank" Carver on north Walnut street, a defective flue having set fire to the house. The blaze was over before the department arrived.

Saturday evening about nine o'clock there was^an alarm calling the department to the residence of JameB Molony on east Jefferson street. Onev of the juvenile Molonys had chased the family cat under the sofa and then started after it^with a lighted candle. The candle set fire to the highly inflamable matter iu the bottom of the sofa and the whole room was quickly wrapped in flames. Cat aud child fled with squalls of dismay and the neighborhood was aroused. Prompt action saved the house.

Found Some Counterfeit.

A government inspector was in the citiy last week and managed to pick un in his rounds several pieces of connfeit money. He found several dollars and some raised bills, one of the latter raised from a two to a twenty. The persons in whose hands the bad stuff was found are the losers. It is not thought that any of the counterfeit thus picked up passed through the hands of Water-" man and the belief is growing that that worthy never had but the one bad dollar. Cheek's story of Water--man showiug him a pocketful is at-" tributed to an excited imagination.
