Why lie failed.

Not every one knows how to keep a hotel—or run an incubator. A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer who has tried to do the latter thus describes his experience:

Allow me to make an admission. I have exchanged a goodly pile of hardearned shiney dollars for a striped and varnished incubator, filled its secret chambers with expensive eggs, got up 6team, regulated the regulator, coddled the thermostat, vigilantly regarded the rise and fall of the mercury, and patiently endured the scoffs and gibes of unsympathetic neighbors, for a period of twenty-one long days and nights. I say I have done all of the above several things and then, while darkness o'erspread the land and unfeeling men slept, I have done as follows: Raked those expensive eggs out of the dark recesses of that infernal machine, let them fall with a dull, Squashy thud into a bucket, stealthily dug a great hole in the earth, and, with many low but deep imprecations, poured them into it and piled the soil upon, and jumped on it.

The failure was probably due to one of two causes—a defective incubator, of which there are many on the market, or to a lack of the patience, watchfulness, and "horse sense1'requisite for so delicate an operation as hatching eggs. We have seen many thousands of thrifty chickcns and Sucklings hatched in incubators but the result was secured only by unremitting care and attention from start to finish, and the exercise of an intelligence due to keen observation and much experimenting. Artificial incubation is a business which must be learned. The mother-hen makes a business of hatching, and so must man. If he would succeed in it. For ordinary farm chicken-raising, the hen is still the best incubator.—Examiner.

The Great Northwest.

The States of Montana and Washing ton are very fully described in two folders issued by the Northern Pacific Rail road, entitled "Golden Montana" and '•Fruitful Washington." Tho folders sontain good county maps of the States named, and information in reference to climate, lands, resources, and other sub jects of interest to capitalists, business men or settlers.

Holders of second-class tickets to North Pacific Coast points, via Northern Pa eific Railroad, are allowed the privilege of stopping over at Spokane, Washington, and points west thereof, for the purpose of examining all sections of this magnificent State before locating. Northern Pacific through express trains carry free colonists sleeping cars from St. Paul and Pullman tourist sleepers from Chicago (via Wisconsin Central LiHe) to Montana and Pacific Coast Points daily.

California tourists, and travelers to Montana and the North Pacific Coast,can purchase round trip excursion tickets at rates which amount to but little more than the one fare way. Choice of routes Is allowed on these tickets, which are good for three or six months, according to destination, and permit of sfop-overs.

The elegant equipment on the Northern Pacific Railroad the dining car service the through first-class sleeping cars from Chicago (via both Wisconsin Central Line and C. M. & St. P. Ry.,) to Pacific Coast, and the most magnificent scenery of seven States, are among the advantages and attractions offered to travelers by this line.

The "Wonderland" book issued by the Northern Pacific Railroad describes the country between tbe Great Lakes and Pacific Ocean, with maps and illustrations.

INDIANA EVENTS.

Vincennes has sixty saloons. .•?" gunman will be incorporated. Shedtown is a Muncie suburb. Frankfort Is organizing a choral union. Strawberries promise to bo many in Union county.

Illinois farmers aro investing in White county lands. Kendallville is beautifully and cheaply lighted by electricity.

The old settlers of Noble county will meet at Albion, June 2. Tho Warsaw high school graduating class numbered twelve, all girls.

Alfred Burton and wife, near Mitchell have celebrated their golden wedding. Tho journeymen tailors of Anderson are on a strike for a 15 per cent, advance in wages.

The saloons at Greenfield have fo-raed a combine. Hereafter there will be no sales on Sunday, nor no free lunches on any day.

A colored evangelist named Frazier, who was conducting a revival at Hartford City, eloped with the daughter of William Runk, a Caucasian, and they were married in Michigan.

Miss Jean Nelson, a junior in De Pauw University at Greencastle, and a resident of that city, won the first prize in the in terstate oratorical contest, held at Minneapolis, on the 5tli.

A brutal and disgraceful prize fight occurred on tho Randolph and Jay county division line, Sunday night, between Al Fogle of Muncie, and James Patton, Philadelphia. Tho mill was witnessed by 500 toughs from surrounding towns and cities. Patton won.

Miss Daisy McBride, of Elkhart, a daughter of Judge McBride of the Supreme bench, has gone to Salt Lake City to join her husband, Fred Starr, whom she married last March while visiting in Chicago. The wedding was kept a profound secret.

Thomas Gray and wife, of Richmond, were married thirteen years ago. Thero are three children. During her marital career Mrs. Gray eloped with five differ ent men, but each time her offense was condoned by Mr. Gray. Recently, how sver, she eloped with a colored man and the husband has now drawn the line.

Blood-hounds placed on the trail of the burglars of Hall's grocery, at Medora, rounded up at the door of a man four miles away, who has heretofore been under suspicion, and, while there may not be evidence sufficient to convict, the people are satisfied with the work of the dogs, and hereafter they will remain a feature of the enforcement of the law in Jackson county.

A new swindle is being worked in northern Indiana. A well dressed stranger, ostensibly selling fruit trees, stops at a farm house whero he convenient.lv falls sick. He claims to be out of medicine, and he induces the farmer to write a prescription which he dictates, and to sign his (farmer's) name thereto to avoid any delay in getting it compounded. Then tho stranger suddenly remembers that there is medicine in his valisse, and he relieves the farmer of the necessity of sending for the prescription, but he takes care to preservo the same, to which the farmer's signature is attached.Afterward this signature turns up as a promissory note, which the farmer is obliged to pay,

Samuel Davis,editor of the Starke county Republican, is something of a genius. His children, two boys and two girls, are typesetters, and they do his composition while he edits and hustles for job work. Editor Davis also teaches vocal music. One daughter is an accomplished pianist, the other a vocalist, and both the boys sing and play. When business is slack the fiditor and family give a concert, which is always handsomely patronized. Mrs, Davis is also a type-setter, and edits with rare discrimination when Mr. Davis is called away. The boys are agents for the Chicago papers, and all have a bank account.

One month ago David Wright sold his farm in Iowa, and brought his wife to Wingate to visit relatives until he should re-locate. He left, and two weeks ago his wife was taken ill. No person could find the whereabouts of Mr. Wright, as he was constantly moving and telegrams failed to reach him. His wife died Tuesday,and the funeral was Friday. Just before the services commenced he arrived in town, and went up to tho house, intending to surprise his wife. He walked in, and in a jolly manner asked where was his wife. When informed of the circumstances he swooned away.

At 12 o'clock Thursday night at Anderson, a large force of men under Itoadmaster Bickett, of the Pan Handle, were

WHITE CAPS SENTENCED.

A special of the 7th from Jasper to the Indianapolis Sentinel says: "Have you

Old Francis Hobbs, sixty-eight yoars old, with tears glistening in his eyes, proclaiming his innocence, said: "My poor dead wife, who only a few moments beforo her death said, 'Francis, thank God you can prove yourself innocent of this terrible charge, and may the good Lord always protect you.' I say, Judge, I am as innocent as tho running brook and will have to suffer for the crime that another has comm tted." He sank to his chair almost helpless.

The scene was indeed pitiful, and many eyes of bravo men were wet with tears for the old man as he stood bent with age imploring clemency. Tlia other defendants said thay w«ra In ao way guilty, and

if they were compelled to go to the penl- -t* 2 ^AT tentiary they would go as innocent men. Tom Smith and Daniel King did not seem to be afTected, but Janies Spraggins, as Sheriff Trailer and his de Duties were returning them to jail, broke down and wept bitterly, crying for his wife and children.

This was the ending of one of the most noted cases ever tried in southern Indiana, and the impression of every one who heard the trial is that the defendants are guilty and that the sentence of two years is very lenient.

HIGH "VVATEJRS. 7

The big dam south of Goshen, erected in 1866, has gone out, flooding the country as far as Elkhart. Tho flood had subsided about two feet, and all danger was thought to be past, but the tinder current from below the dam proved its destruction. The dam, which cost between $15,000 and 52 ),0JO, will be immediately rebuilt.

The high water caused great excitement in South Bend Saturday and Sunday. Friday night the water readied the highest mark and was at a standstill for a few hours. Toward morning it suddenly rose several inches, and scores of factory buildings were in great danger. Hundreds of men worked all night and all day moving goods to places of safety, while others labored incessantly to save the dam and embankments. During tho early morning hours a large house went over tho dam' and tore out. a portion of the apron. It was feared it would damage the bridges, but it passed under them without straining the piers. At Bertrand the house struck the bridge and carried away a section of it just as Frank C. Nippold, of South Bend, was crossing in a buggy. The hcrse and buggy wore lost, but NIppold managed to swim to tho shore greatly exhausted. Tho water has receded somewhat.

Reports of extensivo devastation by the waters of the St. Joseph, Mary and Mauinee rivers continue to come in, Not less than ffvc hundred farms on tho lowlands were overflowed, and a great deal of timber that was cut for tho mills went down the streams. Louis By bee, a farmer livinsr on the banks of the Maumee four miles below Fort Wayne, lost all of his horses, cows and sheep in tho flood, besides several acres of cordad wood. Down stream it is no uncommon sight to seo dead cows floating with the drift. No human lives were lost, as tho rise of tho water was gradual, giving all a chance to escape, Whilo tho river is still high tho water is receding, and if tho weather remains fair tho danger is over. Tho families who moved out of their homes in Fort Wayne have had enough of living in tho low lands and car.not bo induced to move back. Most of the vacated houses, however, are still in the water.
