MAN SUPPOSED TO BE CRAZY FOUND
Lying Beside Conklin Lumber Shed, Striking Matches—Had Be«n Acting Queerly All Day.
A man with long, black hair, bushy eyebrows, and eyes deep-set and glaring, was found lying beside the Conklin lumber shed Monday night about 8:30 o'clock. He was striking matches, and when questioned said that he was trying to light his pipe. But since he had been acting in a suspicious manner all day, the officers took him in charge, placing him in jail for the night.
Early in the day he had accosted several men asking for money he had also stood before tjie building of the Greenfield Banking Company looking in at the windows until told to move on. Later in the day he went to Conklin's and as usual, he asked for help to get something to eat Morgan Andrick told him that if he would go down in the yards work would be given him, but he made the excuse that he could not work, and left. Other suspicious actions have been reported, and early Tuesday morning he was escorted to the city limits and requested to leave. He did.
Visited Fort Benjamin Harrison. William T. Orr and family, Frank Craft and family and Walter Addison and wife, of Jackson township, and Freeman Braddock, of Route 8, motored to Fort Benjamin Harrison northeast of Indianapolis, Sunday, sight-seeing about the national army post of Indiana. They were much pleased with what they saw, and Mr. Orr, who is trustee of Jackson township, thinks that the fort would be a good place for practical observation by school children. They could get ideas of military affairs and war that they could not get in the school room.

The Destruction of Lightning A man who recently lost a barn which was struck by lightning, said that he believed in the efficacy of the lightning rod, but that he had just been putting off the matter of rodding the barn. It seems that the lightning is more destructive to property now than formerly. The losses in Hancock county this year from lightning have been very frequent. Every storm seems to produce its share of losses, and every loss convinces some property owners that they can not afford to carry their own risks against lightning, and so they rod their buildings.

Given Them at Gettysburg By the G. A. R. Men Welcome For All at Chattanooga, Tenn.
There is a movement among the prominent Confederate veterans in the South to have a special committee appointed from their organization in each state to be in Chattanooga on the occasion of the 47th National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, and do every thing possible to make the Union Veterans feel that the Gray army appreciates the coming to the South of the men w7ho wore the Blue.
This proposition was at first advanced by Capt. J. R. Gibbons, of Bauxite, Ark. Capt. Gibbons attended the reunion at Gettysburg, and is enthusiastic over the reception in Pennsylvania of the veterans who wore the Gray. He says in a letter to Capt. J. F. Shipp that he has "never had his uniform so honored as by the Grand Army nien at Gettysburg."
Capt. J. F. Shipp, of Chattanooga another Confederate veteran, attended the Gettysburg reunion also and is in hearty accord with the plan suggested by Capt. Gibbons. Capt. Shipp reports to the Chattanooga Encampment Association that his reception by the Grand Army men at Gettysburg was most cordial, and he is doing all he can to have the favors that he and his comrades enjoyed at Gettysburg paid back during the encampment.
The Union soldiers of the North are assured of a most hearty welcome to Chattanooga, and a whole week of proverbial southern hospitality awaits them. Confederate veterans are leading in this feature of the work, and are anxious for the time to arrive when the streets of the city will be lined with veterans wearing the Blue uniform.

Will Teach Fire Prevention Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, is lending a hand in the effort to reduce the fire loss in Indiana. The teachers' manual, which the department of public instruction is just sending to press, contains practical suggestions as to how the teachers may spread the gospel of fire protection in the schools.
In this effort, Mr. Greathouse is being assisted by the state fire marshal, who has caused to be prepared several model lessons in fire prevention. The subject is included under the heading of civics for fifth grade pupils. How to handle matches, the disposal of ashes, the danger from gasoline and similar matters are presented. It is the belief that by starting with the children, a general influence will be created which will open the eyes of the people to the tremendous loss which is suffered in property and lives each year, because of carelessness.
