the To ßaH e lmiT y e n° which s ‘“'“ Quite a number of the members of °' d /ompany B. 1601. V I. are at Wabash attending the annual reunion which convened there yesterday. H. M.

Several Decatur citizens were out to the Carrol oil well Sunday, and someone discovered that the boiler was out of water and an explosion liable to occur any moment. John Falk held the beast while the other boys made their escape. Jonas Neuenschwander ex-county treasurer came in from his French township farm yesterday and spent the day looking after business affairs. From outward appearances we are lead to believe that his present occupation is quite acceptable. The “city dads” have a new council room, the same being located in the Peter Forbing building. New chairs and tables have been purchased and the room aside from presenting a very cozy appearance gives evidence of having been arranged for business convenience. Edna Medium owned by James W. Place and Sunda Girl owned by M. M. Hamm are at Huntington this week, being entered in the county fair races. They are both entered in the Great Northern Indiana fair races here next week and should get inside the money at both places.

A HARD HEADED FARMER. The Way He Held l’p a Prince With a Pitchfork. When Edward VII. of England was an undergraduate at Oxford university, he had an adventure which led a newspaper of that time to describe the prince as a prisoner. It said that “not very far from Oxford, at a place called Steeple Barton, there was a farmer named Hedges, a man of much independence of character, commonly known as ‘Lord Chief Justice Hedges.’ “On one occasion the prince and his friends were out with the South Oxfordshire hounds, but, meeting with indifferent sport, they resolved on riding home across country. This they did, galloping over the lands of Farmer Hedges and presently riding into his farmyard. There they were confronted by the farmer himself, armed with a fork. He closed the gates and informed the party bluntly that they had been trespassing on his ground and trampling on Lis young wheat and that be would not allow one of them to leave bis farmyard until he had paid a line of a sovereign for the damage done. ‘They whispered that the prince himself was of the party. ‘l’rince or no prince,’ he replied shortly, 'l'll have my money.’ There was little glory to be had by fighting a resolute farmer armed with a fork. They therefore made up their minds to pay, prince and all. When he had the money in his pocket, and not till then, 'Lord Chief Justice Hedges’ opened the gates and let them go.”— Philadelphia Tinies.

Exploding: n Theory. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the French Academy of Sciences offered to give n prize to the first person who would solve the following problem: If you take a vase full of water and put a stone or any similar body in it, the water will flow over. If, however, you put into it a fish, the volume of which is equal to that of the stone, it will not flow over. Explain this phenomenon. Learned essays on the subject poured in from all quarters, but the problem was not satisfactorily solved in any of them, and consequently the prize was not awarded. In the following year the same question was again propounded, and for five years answers continued to pour in to the academy. Then it suddenly occurred to one of the academicians that, after all. the problem might be incapable of solution, and he determined to make a test for himself. Filling a vase with water lie put a stone into it and saw that Ute water flowed over. Then he took out the stone, filled the vase again with water and put into it a fish, the volume of which was the same as that of the stone, and saw. to his surprise, that the water again flowed over. He told the academy of his discovery and the result was that the offer of a prize was at once withdrawn.

IMlsplnecd Confidence. An Irishman once applied for a job on board a certain ship. "Well,” said the captain, "where are your recommendations?” “Share, an’ I haven’t enny, sur.” "Can’t take you, then; got a German here with line recommendations; have to give the job to him.” I'at begged so hard, however, that the captain finally agreed to take him and the German both on a trial trip, the best man to have the permanent job. They were well out at sea when a storm arose one day while I’at and the German were scrubbing the deck. A big wave came along and swept the German overboard with his bucket. I’at immediately picked up his bucket and started after the captain, whom he found below. "Well, I’at, what's the matter now?” the captain Inquired "Faith, sur, ye kno v that German what had such foine ricommlndatlons?” “Yes; what of him?” "Begorra sur, an’ he’s gone off with one of your buckets.”

Democrat Deeaatur. Ind., Dear Sir Please find inclosed 81.1 X) for renewal of my subscription to your paper which reaches me every Saturday, filled with good reports of old Adams county’s prosjieritj:, the big corn crop, oil wells and pikes which make a prodigal son feel mighty hungry down here where none of the ateve named blessings are to be seen. Wo have hail the worst drought here this season ever witnessed by the oldest settlers, no rain of any consequence since the first of April, and as a result crops are very light. Cotton is tho lighest ever raised in this section, no corn on high land, bottom land medium crops. The planter feel the loss of tho cotton crop most keen ly but are a patient and industrious people and aro now putting it on the market at 8| cents per pound with a prospect of higher prices in tho near future. Many of these old plantations are being set to fruit trees, millions of peach and many thousands of apple trees will be set this winter. Quite a number of people are still living here who have a very vivid recollection of some trouble on Mission Ridge and Chickamauga, which they now consider settled to their own good and speak of in the most pleasant manner, telling some of the l>eet best stories I over heard.
