Ward Walker and others were listened to with much interest. Contests and games ended one of the most successful and pleasant reunions ever held by these first families of Virginia.

The reunion next year will be held at the S. & S. O. Home at Knightstown on the 31st of August.

Ike Hampton, who visited his brother, Jason Hampton, a few days ago at Friendswood, Hendricks county, brought home with him a curiosity in the way of a green bean. It is called the yard-bean, and if the name relates to the length of the bean it is a good one for the sample pod which Mr. Hampton had measured 38 inches in length. He said he saw one pod which was 42 inches long.

Birthday Surprise.

The friends of Charles Allen, who lives on the Smith Hutchison farm on rural route 4, in Brandywine township, gave him a surprise Sunday in the way of a celebration of his 35th birthday. There were about thirty of his friends and neighbors present, and a delightful day was had together. A bountiful country dinner with fried chicken in abundance prepared in a style which would have charmed the most particular preacher, was thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Parish and Mrs. Anna Parish, of this city, attended.

Mrs. Robeson Has Severe Fall. Mrs. Isabel Robeson in leaving the home of Mrs. Marietta Thomas, on South State street, Sunday afternoon, stepped suddenly off a cement walk and fell, breaking her hip. She was carried to her home on East Osage street. Mrs. Robeson is an elderly woman and for this reason the injury is more serious, although severe enough at the best.

Thai Banana Peeling.

J. M. Hufford, the oldest Life, Accident and Health Insurance man in the county, having represented the two great companies, the Fidelity Life and Standard Accident over 15 years, says that the banana peeling costs his Accident Company more money than fire arms do.

IN SHADOW OF CROSS

Marvel of Art World tc Be Shown at State Fair.

"lh the Shadow of the Cross" Is the title of an unexplained miracle picture of Christ that will be one of the chief novelties of the Indiana State Fair the week of September 12. This painting is one of the marvels of the art world and is owned by Dr. W. S. Wright, a millionaire philantrophist of Washington, who for thirteen years has been exhibiting it and giving the' proceeds, amounting to thousands of dollars, to worthy charities. It was a feature of the exhibitions at St. Louis,. Jamestown and Seattle and 4,000,000 people have seen it in the forty cities where it has been displayed. Its value it Indicated by the insurance carried on it—$120,000, or $40,000 each for fire, accident or theft. It will be shown at the fair in a building especially erected for it.

The celebrated painting is the work of Henry Hammon Ahl, educated in the art centres of Europe. He returned to America, his native land, in 1896, opened a studio, and turned his retention to religious subjects. Among other works, he began painting a full length figure of Christ, his object being to produce an ideal portrait. At first he did not succeed in obtaining his ideal and the canvass stood, a source of vexation to him. But one day the artist was suddenly impressed, after more work had been done on it, with the realization that he had at last conceived the ideal sought after and he immediately painted the wonderful countenance of the Master now shown in the picture.

Not long after, the artist, having to go to his studio on an errand after night, was astonished to discover that his picture could be distinctly seen in the dark, and that Christ appeared to be walking in pale moonlight, while above and behind Him could be seen a cross. The artist's first impression was that the moon was shining through an open window upon the canvass, and- that the cross was a shadow. He soon discovered that a strange phenomena had taken place in connection with his picture, and, as he had only used commonly-known pigments, he soon realized that the strange quality of his picture was beyond his power to explain. 1-Ie was so profoundly impressed that he refused to finish it, and the picture remains unfinished to this day.

After Dr. Wright purchased ine canvass, the painting was taken to Washington where it was shown to many scientific men who acknowledged their inability to explain the phenomenon. It created a sensation among the clergy, who have preached more than three hundred sermons on it. Chemists declare that there is nothing known to chemistry that will cause the wonderful amount of luminosity that emanates from the painting.

It is expected to be of particular interest to religious people who see it at the state fair.

UREAT SHOW OF STOCK

Ricli Quality

g!

In the beef cattle classes there are many special prizes offered by breeders' associations, and silver cups are offered by individuals, in addition to the premiums given by the State Board of Agriculture. The beef cattle will compete for prizes each day in the coliseum. The grand championship in the b?ef classes will be awarded on Thursday, and there is always sharp competition for this, one of the highest honors to be won at the fair. Another that will be as spirited will be for pure-bred heifers, the trophy offered being a handsome silver cup.

The show of dairy cattle always has its crowds of admirers. A feature of the dairy division will be a forty-eight-hour dairy test for registered Jersey cows, the contest to be under the supervision of Purdue University. The milking is to be done on the fair grounds, where the milk will also be tested. The prizes have been contributed by the American and Indiana Jersey Cattle Clubs and by Indiana individuals, and the total for the milking test is $450.

CHILDREN'S BIG DAY

Fine Features for Them at Indiana State Fair.

The school children of Indiana between the ages of seven and twelve years are to receive unusual consideration at the coming State Fair. As in other years, they will, on Tuesday, Sept. 13, be admitted to the big exposition without charge and they will have free run of the grounds and all it contains. The fair management has always held out extra inducements to the youngsters to attend, and has found that the boys and girls who on yesterday tasted of the exposition's enjoyment, are today and tomorrow the adult patrons of the enterprise. Children find, every part, of the fair and all of its popular features of entertainment strongly to their liking, and it is common on their special day for 20,000 or more of them to see the exposition, and there is little that escapes their eager eyes.

The big show i'or children at the coming fair will be given in the coliseum. It will be a pony show—the richest of its kind the fair has ever offered its juvenile friends. Arrangements for the pony show began months ago. There will be scores of these animals in the arena—every pony bred in the purple. They will be hitched to carts and other vehicles, and some will be under saddle when they contest for prize ribbons.

Also to the liking of the children will be the special programs given by 100 ponies belonging to different breeders who have agreed to send their choicest Shetlands to the fair and will unite their herds for the special program. It will open with a parade and will include all sorts of "wild west" and trick riding and Ben Hur chariot races. Children who trained the ponies will put the animals through their tricks and paces at the fair, and broncho busting, high school and other fancy gaits will be particularly pleasing to the children.

Experts as State Fair Judges. In the earlier years of the Indiana State Fair a common method of obtaining judges was to pick them up as they could be found at the exposition, but at the coming fair a weff-organizeJ force of judges will tie the ribbons on the prize winners. The list is made up of men who are widely known as experts in their special lines. The judge of draft horses will be Prof. W. L. Carlyle of Moscow, Idaho coach M. A. McDonald, West Lebanon, Ind. heavy harness, Hon. C. W. Barnum. of Connecticut show horses, T. W. Bell, Chicago saddle horses, James L. Gay, Pisgah, Ky. beef cattle, I. M. Forbes, Henry, 111., and John G. Im boden, Decatur, 111. dairy cattle, Prof. C. S. Plumb, Columbus, O. sheep. George Allen, Lexington, Neb. Hal. Woodford Paris, Ky. U. C. Brouse, Kendallville, and Uriah Privett Greensburg, Ind. swine, J. S. Henderson, Kenton, Tenn. Carl Scott, Salem, Ind. Hugh Atkinson, Mt. Sterling, Ky. F. U. Campbell, Tipton, Ind, Thomas Vinnedge, Hope, Ind. poultry, O. L. McCord, Danville, 111., W. W. Zike, Morristown, Indr L. J. Demberger, Stewartsville, Ind. The presiding judge of the races will be Frank E. Stone of Burlington, Wis., regarded as one of the most competent starters in the country. The great quantity of exhibits will give the judges a busy week.

Why

The Care of Diseases by a New Invention

We have opened an office at 30 New Building, Greenfield, Ind.

For the Treatment of Diseases by THE ELECTRO-THERAPEUTIC GENERATOR.

The greatest device that medical skill has ever invented. This great device was invented and patented by Dr. S. N. Metzler, of Indianapolis, Ind., who has had over thirty years of successful practice in treating all kinds of chronic diseases, and has the distinction of being the first man in America to administer Medicated Live Steam, which was over thirty years ago. By the use of his combination device severe cases can be cured in less than half the time required by medicine alone. Any disease curable by medicine may be successfully treated by this method, known as endos and exosmosis process as the carbonic acid is thrown out by exhalation, the Medicated and Oxygenated Live Steam is taken into the lungs by inhalation, thence into the blood coming in direct contact with the "toxins" or poisonous elements of the blood which are thereby counteracted. This treatment is particularly well adapted to people having had their stomachs weakened by the use of strong drugs also cases of extreme Nervousness, Paralysis, Blood and Skin diseases, Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder trouble, Stomach, Liver, Throat and Lung trouble also Catarrh, Asthma and Hay Fever.

The man that cures after all others fail. Does not take -your money until he has shown you that he can give you value. It will cost you nothing to find out what is the matter. Call at 30 New Block, Greenfield, and learn the new way of getting cured without taking a lot of bitter medicine.

Special prices will be made to all who come in at once, as it is our purpose to fill the office soon. We have a high class trained nurse to assist us.
