Mr. Thompson had an ardent admiration for the martyred President, which was expressed on many occasions. This poem is thought by many critics to be beyond question the finest one produced with Lincoln for its theme. Ttiis ode was read before the Phi Beta Kappa chapter of Harvard college in 1894.]

This dear child was the namesake of his grandfather, John E. Jones, a well-to-do and highly respected old gentleman of Walnut township, and he feels the loss as keenly as though it was his own child. In the presence of death therfi is only one comfort, and that is Jesus, who says that we will meet our loved ones again in that beautiful world where sorrow is unknown.

BONNELL GETS IT.

He Lands the Terre Haute Collectorshlp Interesting Washington News.

A special from Washington Monday announces the fact that John R. Bonnoll has been agreed upon by Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge for the position ol collector of internal revenue at Terre Haute to succeed Judge Henry. Albert Wishard is to be retained as district attorney and Nolin as collector at Lawrenceburg. Tho United States marshals!) ip has not a.s yot been settled.

Mr. Bounell returned from Washington Sunday but left for Indianapolis almost immediately. He will not remove to Terre Haute but will retain his residence here, it is understood.

CASE CONTINUED.

Joe Douglas Will Not be Tried Until the April Term of Court.

Last Tuesday in the circuit court Joe Douglas was arraigned for the murder of Charley Doyle and through his attorneys, A. B. Andersen and William Swank entered a plea of not guilty. Douglas looked as chipper as ever and seemed in nowise impressed by the situation. The defense expressed itself as ready for trial, but the state presented the affidavit from a Richmond doctor who declared that Frank Parrish was at present unable to appear. As Parrish is the leading witness of the prosecution Judge West granted a continuance until the April torm of court. It is likely therefore that Douglas will not be tried until the middle or last of April. The defense excepted to the continuance and was given sixty days to file a bill of exceptions.

Salaries of Superintendents.

Senator Parks will introduce a bill in the senate this week to fix and regulate the compensation of county superintendents of the state. The bill puts the superintendents on a salary, which is graded in proportion to tho population and necessary services required ini-eacht county. Tho sum of $500 is taken as a basis for the system, and to this is added $1 for every square milo of territory in the county, $1 for every one hundred population ,and 81 for each teacher in tho county. The salaries range from $800 to $1,500. The bill has been agreed upon by every county superintendent in the state, and as it does not materially increase the present compensation of the county superintendents it is expected to pass with little or no opposition.

Death of Mrs. Minerva McCain.

Mrs. Minerva McCain died Monday night at 11 o'clock at the home of her son, Dallas McCain, near Westficlu, tho cause of death being extreme old age. She was born November 22, 1814, and was over eighty-six years of age. She was well known in Crawfordsville, having made her home here with her son, the late T. H. B. McCain, for several years. The children surviving her are Dallas McCain, W. L. McCain and Mrs. Wm. Montgomery, all of Hamilton county. The funeral occurred near Westfield Wednesday morning.

Charles Was Reprehensible.

Ella Grimes has sued for a divorce from Charles Grimes, and in her complaint she rubs it in on him good and strong. She calls him a profound bully aud ruffian whose chief delight is in getting drunk and beating her. The court will probably make short work of Charley unless a different tale is told. ti«j in Mylt).
