Got His Wealth.

On Monday night, about the hour that ghosts stalk about in the land, a thief noiselessly entered the residence of Joseph Grogan, and taking possession of his pants, coat and vest searched the pockets thereof, and stole therefrom *12 in good and true currency. The thief dropped the different garments about the house as he finished searching them, and Joe did not know of his loss until next morning. No arrest, no clue.

H. W. Hubbard and wife are here from Iowa, visiting his sister, Mrs. Granville Moore. An artistic partrait of the two little sons of Robert Hughes is exhibited in the Hub window. At Columbus, Ind., on Tuesday, M. F. McHaffle & Son’s John R. won the 2:14 pace in 2:131, 2:12 ; and 2:15}. One of the women prominent in public life is Kate Field. She recently alleged that “the coming man will neither smoke nor eat onions.” How about the coming woman? The late fad in the east is for them to smoke, and it is generally acknowledged that they are as much given to the onion

habit as men.

The Cloverdale Sentinel says: Cloverdale seems to be taking on Greencastle airs, in having all kinds of gambling games running every day in the grove east of town. These games are conducted by boys and young men who ought to be at work. The Sentinel is reliably informed that these games are played for money. It is high time for missionary work. Why not have the Marshal look after these parties, who are making a business of shooting craps.

Appointed.

Mr. W. B. Vestal, of this city, has been appointed a special agent of the U. S. Treasury Department, and is ordered to report to the Department at Washington, the first of the week, for instructions, etc. He will make Greencastle his headquarters. Richer Grows the Lead. Howard Rightsell, of the Washington Township Gold and Silver Mining Company, the mine being located in this county, has exhibited a number of specimens of the latest product of the mine, which are said to be richer in precious metal than any previously taken out. The shaft is now down over sixty feet, at which depth the load has widened out to twenty-two inches, and as much as a ton of the ore is now being broken up at one shot. A meeting of the company was held on the ground Friday last, all the stockholders expressing themselves well satisfied with the progress being made and the quality of the

product.

Dr. John and tho Normal School

Muddle.

On Friday the trustees of the State Normal School issued an address to the citizens of Indiana relative to the troubles in the school which culminated in the nongraduation of the Senior class last June. It is the first official statement from the board. The address is brought out hy the! knowledge that the trouble is brewing again and is expected to break out as strong as ever when school meets, September 19. The address is a lenghty one and is issued under the

signature of all five trustees.

It charges that Prof. Tompkins has! set about to destroy the school because his wife was not given a place! in the faculty by President Parsons, and that Tompkins himself, who is personally conceded to be popular, has instigated the rebellion of the students and is hack of all their movements. The address states he was dismissed on evidence that he attacked other members of the faculty and their methods and ridiculed them to the pupils. A letter from
