If Jnles Vernes will come to Terre Haute dnring tbe stay of Elder E. A. Rodgers, of Cable Rock,Illinois,he will find some excellent material for his next great improbability. He may find something with wbich to build even a greater tale than "A Trip to the Moon," and he would find in the elder an admirable companion character for his "Dr. Ox." Elder Rodgers is an old gentleman with some very great ideas on serial navigation. He claims to have just completed, after years of study and experiment, a flying machine which he claims is the fulfillment of Ezekiel'8 prophecy and the realization of his vision of tbe cherabin in the cloads. The inventor is at present in the city for the purpose of securing means to further his project. Ill yesterday's Express he advertises for a partner with $200 capital, and yesterday afternoon, when he called to get his answers a reporter was present, and gathered from nim the particulars of his great "mechanical wonder," as he calls.it. At first the venerable gentleman was very reticent about giving any information in regard to its construction. He has applied for a patent and "when it is secured," said he, "a million dollars won't buy it. Why, sir, it will be the greatest invention the world has ever known it will be the wonder of all wonders people will flock from all nations to see it it—" "What forces do you intend to employ in propelling your machine?" asked the reporter. "It will be propelled by three principles, hydrogen, gravitation and mechanical force "How fast will it travel7" "Onehundred miles an hour through storm or sunshine and against the highest wind." "Against the wind I" "Yes, sir, against a cyclone. It is so arranged that no wind can possibly overbalance it or retard its motion." "How many persons will it carry?" "It can be made to carry a few or a great many. I intend at first to manufacture a small one and give it to Uncle Sam to use in a fast mail air line from Washington to Baltimore. This will be a big advertisement for me and will attract the attention of the entire world. It can Bkim along at only a few feet from the earth, or it can Bail in the air 10,000 feet high. I am afraid to give too minute a description, as might not be able to get my patent, but I will -say that its hull, or basket, will be something like a ship, and will be suspended by an atmospheric buoy, the height of which will regulate the speed. "Is it very complicated?"
It is so simple, sir, that when the great men of our day shall see it sailing .majestically along from city to city they will scratch their headBand ex claim: 'Why didn't I think of tb.at?" "How long have you been working on this idea?" "For twenty-five years. I am known in my county as the 'wonderful undertaker.' I have made serial navigation my study, and have made frequent ascensions in balloons in order to study the atmospherical phenomena in mill ....• "Have'vou' made any other inventions?" "Many, sir,many. I have often been askedja try my hand at perpetual motioDfbut I tell you, sir, it .can't be done nalesayou dig to the center of the eadh where gravitation loses much Of its great force, and then it can be secured only by atmospheric pressure and friction."
The elder then stalled out ny flwkig roaonine again and kepfgetting higher and higher until he was entirely out of sight.

The club is in much better shape than several other Northwestern clubs. The players have all been paid up with the exception of perhaps $150, and a few hundred dollars will cover the entire indebtedness, while some of Uie clubs owe their players hundreds of dollars

He Will Take a Vacation of Three Bfonths. The .many friends and admirers of the Rev. C. P. Croft will be pained to learn that his health has become so bad that he is compelled to relinquish his work here and seek recovery abroad. For several weeks he has been gradually failing, until now it is absolutely necessary that he drop all efforts in bis field. He sent in his resignation as pastor of the Congregational church, but the trustees refused to accept it, giving him instead a vacation of three months. Mr. Croft left last night for

Board ot Trade Notes, Tbe millers and, grain buyers met at the board room last night to consider vajions matters of interest. A resolution wps adopted that hereafter no

It was signed by Mcgeen Bros., McKeen Bros. & Stewart, Terre Haute Elevator Company, Jenckes & Mering, Paddock & Co., Kidder Bros, and E. A F. Kidder. These firms will sell all their sacks now on hand to 7.H. Crawford, who will hire them to aimers at a fair charge for each day's use. This method has been adopted in other cities, and will be a great relief to our millers, who have spent thousands of dollars for sicks, now scattered through the country or lost A number of the millers go to Indianapolis to-morrow to attend a convention ot the gram buyers of Indiana.

THE OLD TRAPPER.
He Tninks We Will Have a Dry Summer —Wbat tbe River Bottoms Were Hade For.
An Express reporter met his old friend, the trapper, who makes his home in the bills acroBs the river, ye& terday, and alter wetting the old fellow's throat with some of Ohio street's brat, pumped him on the weather. "Vennoris dead, now, old fellow, and the people depend on you for weather prognostications." "They are depending on a mighty poor stick, I kin tell yon. This here weather has given me the rhenmaticks, and these old bones ef mine are gittin as dry and creaky as Sammy Tilden's, By the way do you think the Dem ocracy will nominate Tilden this year?" "Yes," baid the reporter. "Wall, if they do, I kin tell you what will be the result. If they bring Sammy out some old bald-headed eagle will fly away with him, sure. They hate to see sich good eagle bait runnin' around loose. But, did you say something about the weather? Well, as you aid, I'll have to answer you. I have roamed these hills nigh onto fifty years now, and If I can't tell what signs are, no man kin. A wet June means a bad harvest, and don' yon forget it. Now, I have always observed that only about so much water falls in a year, and if we git it all at once, we are sure to want it before the end of the year. We will want this rain in July and August, and wast it bad, too. I never knew it to fail that when we had a wet spring that the summer wasn't dry. I go considerably on nature. The red hirds haven' whistled "wet year" this spring as much as common. The jay birds are building their nests now, and they are building tbem mighty close to the ground. A jay bird has a good deal of sense, and he don't build bis nest near the ground, and on the ground as many of them are doing this year, if he knew it was going to be wet hatching time. The pee-wee's are building low down too and as for the cat bird, he's hunt in' the ground every time. Can't fool them. They wouldn't build there if we were going to have a wet summer. The squirrels have taken the hint, and are
turniig-o"t
*b,r*
giro iiitslit a good start before summer, and the rabbits are following suit. A dry summer, they say." "It rough on the farmers in the river bottoms, is it not, uncle?" "The Lord made the river bottoms for the river water to run over in wet. weather, and if the farmers want to plant corn too early they must sufior the consequence. They can plant again, about lh*^Z6tit^»cNHWke'a 1i?6'p, and no water will bother them But here comes a wagoa that is going my way, and its a chance to iide.jpJ.

The door .of Jones' room was kicked down. If that is jrliat tbe Gazette calls a "careful entry," every one should pity a man whose room
