ANOTHER NEW DANCE IS THE “HORSE TROT”

Washington Society Dancers Will Try It Out at the Charity Ball to Take Place Next Winter. A Washington dispatch says: “A new dance, “the horse trot” will be tried out here by Washington society dancers at the charity ball next winter. A number of Washington people, most of whom are now at Newport will train a group to do the “horse trot” as it should be done. Uriel Davis, of Washington, has arranged some, stirring music for the dance. He is very much interested in its success. Among those already adept in the “horse trot” are A. C. Horstman, third secretary, and Hannel VonHaimsausen, charge d’affairs of the German Embassy; H. Deßach, second secretary of the Russian Embassy, and Mr. and Mrs. Preston Gibson, of Washington. The “horse trot” is quite different in style from the “turkey trot” the “bunny hug” and the “Narragansett naughty.” The step is a trot, better known to horsemen as running walk, which is the most graceful and the easiest gait of the saddle horse.”

ELECTROCUTED FOR MURDER OF HIS WIFE

Chester Jordan, Formerly of Indianapolis, Pays Penalty of Crime in Chair at Boston, Mass. In the state prison of Massachusetts at Boston shortly after midnight Monday night, Chester S. Jordan, formerly of Indianapolis, met death in the electric chair for the murder of his wife, committed four years ago. Jordan married an actress after renfoving to the east from Indianapolis, his birthplace. He became infatuated with another woman and decided to put his wife out of the way. Accordingly he killed her, cut the body up and placed it in a trunk. That was Sept. 11, 1908. Jordan went to a rooming house without making any dispo? sition of the body of his wife. There he was arersted two days* later. A hard fight was made to save his life. The body will be shipped to Indianapolis for burial in the Crown Hill cemetery.

Simon Leopold made a business trip to Chicago today. A daughter was born to Mrs. Rhetta Lakin, of Union township, last night. Verne Jennings returned this morning from a visit with his sister at Morocco. Ray, the 9-year-old son of Julius Huff, south of town, is quite sick with dysentery. James Woods, who has been a victim of rheumatism for some time, went to Martinsville today to take treatment at one of the sanitariums. Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Peterson returned to Pontiac, 111., yesterday after a visit of a few days with their son, Edward, and family, southeast of Rensselaer. A large number of Medaryville people are here today, having been called as witnesses in the case of the Medaryville Bank vs. Fred Will. The suit is on a note for about $250. J. L. Willis and family and -his mother, Mrs. A. L. Willis, who have been visiting for more than two weeks with Mrs. J. L. Willis’ parents in Ohio, where they went in Mr. Willis’ new Regal'auto, are expected home Thursday of this week.

Harry and Charley Gallagher are making very good progress in the construction of two miles of stone road they contracted for between Monon and Frangesville. Harry was at home over Sunday and yesterday, returning to the job today. .William R. Jones and wife and daughter, Audrey, of Greenfield, and Marshall Jenes and wife, of Brook, returned to their homes today after a visit with relatives near Wheatfield. Messrs. Jones are cousins of Mrs. S. E. Yeoman, and came here to attend the funeral of Mr. Yeoman. Miss Bertha Parvis, of Metamora, Ind., came here yesterday expecting to get a country school to teach, but found after arriving here that she would have to pass a musical examination before she could teach. This she could not do and she returned home today. Following closely a series of robberies by highwaymen on railroads in the south, the west-bound Louisville and Nashville train was robbed of $70,000 Wednesday between Pensacola and Flomaton, Ala., by the substitution of paper for bills in express packages. News of the robbery did not become known until Friday. John C. Martindale, whose health has been very poor for a long time, has been failing very rapidly for the past six weeks and especially for the past week and there is now no prospect at all of his recovery and it is just a question of time until he passes away. He takes no nourishment now and is partially unconscious much of the time. The "fatherless frog” developed chemically by Prof. Jacquer Loeb, formerly of the University of Chicago, now of the Rockefeller Institute of Research, is proving the real attraction in the exposition arranged at Washington, D. C., jn connection with the international congress of hygiene and demography. Professor Loeb developed the frog from an egg by artificial means, and its growth to life is pronounced a successful experiment along the line of parthenogenesis, John Burgett, who lived for some time on the Henry Randle farm in Hanging Grove township and who moved to South Dakota seven years ago, arrived in Rensselaer this afternoon for a visit with old (riends. He owns a fartp near Mitchell, S. Dak., and is prospering. He went from here to the Osborne neighborhood in Hanging Grove township and Will spend about six weeks visiting old friends In this county and in White county, near Chalmers and Monticello. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hoover returned to Chicago this mornig after spending Sunday and Monday at their home southwest of town. Frank is being treated by a Chicago specialist and will spend most of the following month in Chicago, except to come home every Saturday. He believes that he can be cured without having to resort to an operation. Apparently the trouble is not gallstones but a disease of the gali duct. His trouble is largely a nervous disorder. W. S. Parks, wfyo is managing the county stone crusher which has been running again for about a week, finds it very difficult to keep men at work. This morning he was two hands short and had to delay starting until he could replace them. The wages is $2 per day. With good wages prevailing and everyone employed that wants to be, every intelligent man should ask himself “Do. we want a changer’ and he should give the matter grave consideration before he sets about to restore the old regime when wages were only $1 a day and men employed only part of the time.

F. Hill, Mrs. C. G. Lane and Mrs. J. S. Bowman.

CHAUFFEUR WAS JOY RIDING

Congressman Tayler Makes an Important Discovery While Walting for a Street Car. Representative Ned Tayler of Ohio, battle scarred and worn from the recent strife in the Buckeye state, found it necessary the other afternoon to make a hurried trip to the department of commerce and labor from his room, in the house office building. His machine and chauffeur were not to be found, so he leaned languidly against the coping outside the capltol grounds and waited tor a Pennsylvania avenue street car. Just as the green carriage of the hoi pollol rolled Into view, he sighted his machine crossing the capltol plaza, a very summery summer girl proudly seated beside the chauffeur. The fair passenger was dropped at one corner, and waited while the chauffeur rolled around to his usual stand beside the office building. “Say,” exclaimed the M. C., “that’s my machine, and that’s my chauffeur. Find the man that’s giving the party. He thinks he’s going to report to me and then take his girl for another ride, but I’ll fool him. Jake” —this to his secretary—“you run over and tell him to come over here. We’ll go downtown in the machine after all. No wonder that man was fired from the police force.”

Restless Senatorial Fans.

Restlessness was noticeable among the baseball fans in the senate and the house along about 3: 20 p. m. Even turning the button and starting the electric fans was of no avail. Every five minutes during the progress of a debate or between roll calls certain solona could be seen quietly slipping out to get the latest information from the American League park In Philadelphia. Although this was at the crisis of the convention contests for choosing delegates to the National Republican convention, interest for the moment centered entirely upon the diamond at Philadelphia, and the animosities of debate were forgotten when two senators whispered with all the eager enthualasm of boyhood daya: “What’a the score?” The great national game will not yield Interest even to the presidential election. Philosophers have often Insisted that the annual recurring baseball contagion la a safety valve for the exploaivo energies of the American people. J who are otherwise too wrapped up in their business and pleasures, tfbey follow the movements on the diamond and the Jottings on the score card with fie game nervous intensity, but ttaefi la “play”—not work, and the . viewpoint makes so vast a difference!— Joe Mitchell Chappie, In National Magazine for June.

recently deposited In the United States National Museum a npher of relics of the Washington and Ball families, some of them dating as far back as the French and Indian wars, and all of considerable historical value. These objects were formerly owned by Pay Director Ball’s fath-

CARIBOU IS FASTEST RUNNER

Maine Woodsman Tells of Seeing Greyhound Left Behind by Herd of Four. In Maine It is contended that the caribou oan outrun any other animal. According to the testimony of one woodsman, cariboo left behind a greyhound that had been matched against them. A guide succeeded hi starting the dog after some caribou—a herd of four standing like statues on the Ice of one of the big ponds in the region along the west branch of the Penobscot ft —. Now, the caribou trots, instead at running, like most other wild animals. In the present case there had been a plentiful fall of snow, a rain which had formed a thick crust, and then another fall of snow, all of which constituted the very finest surface whereon to hold a race of this description. When the greyhound was loosed Its owner confidently expected that it would outrun the caribou. When the caribou woke up and hit their pace it was a sight to see them. They did not appear to be proceeding with much speed, but as the hound drew up on them they increased their pace. The hound Was doing his very best, but made no headway against the caribou at all. The dog stuck to it with courage, but before It was half way across the pond the caribou had reached the other side and disappeared in the woods.

THOUGHT IT WAS IMITATION

Barney Weller Was Fond of Jokes, But Rooster Under His Bed Was Too Much. Barney Weller was about the funniest fellow you ever saw. He was always making people laugh by playing jokes on somebody, and he put up a game on a victim every day. In the week. He was in Chicago at a big hotel on one occasion when the butt of one of his jokes sought revenge by securing a live rooster and tying it under Barney’s bed at night. At three o’clock In the morning the rooster turned up for his first vocal selection and let out a long, shrill crow. The second performance of this kind was too much for the humorist. He dressed himself hastily and rushed down to the night clerk. “Give me my bill!” he, jald fiercely. “I’m going to get out of this place!” “But please tell me what the trouble Is,” suggested the night clBrK “That don’t matter,” said Weller angrily. ‘Tin going to get out of here and get out quick!” “At least,” begged the clerk, “let us know what is the matter with the hotel before you go.” “Well,” exploded Weller, “there’s a crazy fool next door to me who thinks this place is a henhouse. He’s spent the last two honrs trying to imitate it rofcster.”—Popular Magazine.

Diamond Cut Diamond.

“I learned something new the other day,” said the father of a boy who Is prone to playing hookey from school. “The letter carrier makes his firat delivery about the time we are all at breakfast. I noticed that when the bell rang my boy would sometimes hurry down before any one else could get ahead of him, although he waa naturally so lazy that usually you couldn’t get him to go at all. “This set me thinking. I soon found out that he ran downstairs to the let-ter-box only when the previous day had been a fine one. I followed him and caught him in the act of destroying a postal card his teacher had sent to me, stating that the boy had been absent from school. “It was a neat little trick, hut I managed to checkmate him all right by having the teaeher send the card to my place of business downtown.”

Tallest Tree in the World.

The tallest tree in the world' is the Australian eucalyptus, reaching a total altitude of 480 feet. The biggest are the mammoth trees of California, some of which are 276 to 376 feet in height and 108 feet In circumference at the base. From measurements of the rings it is believed that some of these trees are from 2,000 to 2,600 years old. The ojdest tree in the world Is said to be on the island of Kos, off the coast of Asia Minor. It is several thousand years old, but just how many no one has dared to say. The tree is carefully preserved by a wall of masonry around It, and the trunk Is 80 feet In circumference.

Too Many In the Party.

A certain knight of Spain, as high in birth as a king, as Catholic as the pope, and equal to Job in poverty, arriving one night at an inn in France, knocked a long time at the gate till he had alarmed the landlord. “Who is there?” said the host, looking out of the window. “Don Juan Pedro,” replied the Spaniard; “Hernandez, Rodriguez de Vlllanova, Count of Malafra, Knight Santiago and Alcantara.” “I am very sorry,” replied the landlord, shutting the window, “but I have not rooms enough in my house for an the. gentlemen you have mentioned.—Life.
