z ;r. those of you who have read the i.i.-.icry ! those time?, that our population vrjis rparse when that oi II was passed. Our country wa? sparsely populated. Its limits r.ere bounded by bounds far less than they are now. I can remem'oer myself when- we could no: reacn the city of Indianapolis except upon horsebick or on foot. "Our fathers were deliberating about a country no: so far extended as it is now, but they were deliberating about a Nation that was some day to extend from sea to sea. dnl they established this princijrfe of protection ifor the growth of such country s that. "Not. what di 1 they mean bv protection? They meant the protection of manufacturing enterprises, so that the people of tiiis country might be able to find employment in their own avocations. That ?ytm ruwi unler Washington, the elder Adams ard Jefferson. "I sometime hear Democrats talking about Mcffersonljn Democracy.' Jefferson fall that If he found It necessary for th-? protection of the manufacturing interests of the country he would completely shut on importations from other countries. James Madison at whose knee I have knelt many times In reverence what did he do? lie maintained the system of protection. 3Ior.ro?, whom I kn'. and J. Q. Ad.ims. the later apo?tle of Democracy, and Jackson all these men sup,ortel the principle of protection. They we:-e wise rren were they not? Do you teach your chlMren to honor their names and memeories? Do you t-ch :hem to revere that part of the hisrory of the country upon which their impress was made? Frnrr rrsorecmox tlaxk. "The very first platform that was adopted by any poiltcal party was- that forme 1 by the Democrats in IS.12. J. C. Calhcun had been elected ia 1S28 as the Vice President with Jackson. The people of South Carolina, who were no: friendly to the Union, obtained the Idea that he might become the successor of Jackson, and then South Carolina, with cotton interests, tried to defeat Jackson, who believed in the stability of the Union. He called upon hi3 friends, when he ran in 1832, to put In a plank In favor of a protective tariff. He declared in that platform and the whole Democratic party declared that the abandonment of protection would prove disastrous to the country. The la?t platform of the Democratic party declared that protection was a -fraud; that Jefferson and Jackson and Monroe were all nincompoops and did not know what the Constitution zneint. I occasionally find some petty country lawyer who says that it is unconstitutional. 'ow then, you see. by looking back Into the past and by reading the history of our country, that so far as we have abandoned this principle of protection that our Interests and the growth of our industries have been retarded. Is there not enough in this plain statement to urge us forward in insisting thai this government shall return to fie grounds upon which our fathers left it? I confess that my feelings of reverence for these old men may be sometimes enthusiastic. I have been permitted in the providence of God to sit and hear their expressions (I have 8?en thorn in public and private life) and to preserve their memories In the minds of our people. I want to see us go back to their plane. "Whenever the Democrats have had this country in their hands, they have run it down, so that, like an unwound watch, It had no life and could not live an hour, but for the confidence the world has in the credit of the Nation. The result of the whole thing Js that we have come to the consideration of this simple question: Shall we return to the path of our fathers, consecrated by their wisdom, or shall we follow the ignatus fatuus of modern Democracy with Grover Cleveland at its head, who knows far more about duck bunting and fishing than he does about the Constitution? ENGLAND OR AMERICA. "If I live I will cast a Republican vote

and aid by voice and ballot to restore our country to its former prosperity'. Shall England dictate to us cur policy? Shall we obey England and not ourselves? I have nothing to say about England; she U a great government, but she is not American in any sense. (Applause.) England, wherever she goes, does it to advance English Interests and not American. The Republican party demands that we shall take care of our own interests. In a great contest of that kind do you not Be that the Republican party will flght our battles under the old flag of the union, which, but for the Republican party, would not have so many stars upon it? Democracy ts rotten and Us teachings are poisonous to Dur interests. "If we want these principles of protection, If we want to return this government to where our fathers left it. It becomes us to look about and see what we shall first do to accomplish that object. . I know that the one motive that brings you here Is to take care of the country. Well now. I don't won tier that the public mitd is so wrought to the point where It is now strained; that the peop:e or trus land shall look aoout ana see who is most likely to preserve the prin ciples of protection. (Cries of 'McKinley, ilcKlnley.') I do not wonder that the people of this country won't sit quietly at home. I am not talking to politician. I am talking to the people, uaug.iter and applause.) I do not wonder that they turn their atten tlon to the man who is Identified most thor oughly with the principles of protection. (Tumultuous applause and more cries of McKinley.') I am not a Yankee. I am not good at guiding. The people where I come irom always "reckon." I reckon, therefore. that there is a pretty tolerable sprinkling of you fellows here In favor McKinley. (Loud applause mingled with laughter.) "Well. now. I know ;McKinley and abso lutely love him. I am for him. I believe him to be honest, upright and faithful and that we may trust him with the destinies of our great Nation. I do not believe that un der his administration any power on earth could effer any insult to " the flag which floats above us. PROTECTION TO LABOR. "The laboring class In this country is the great source and element In Its wealth. Our laboring population Is enritled to have Its Interests and to have them preserved by the government of the United States. I honor the man, I do not care whether he Is high cr low, who devotes his life to the Interests of the laboring population of his country. Every man who labors for his country Is a kin.?, lie exercises higher au thorlty. but not so arrogantly, as the Queen of England. She Is governed by a selfish Jllnlstry, while he Is prompted by tne hon est motive of an honest heart. "Now, then," continued Mr. Thompson. pulling out his watch, ' what am I doing nerei now long have l been speaking: I could talk to you for an hour. 1 could talk to you a day. (Cries of "go en.') Hut I am not made of gum elastic. I said a while ago l was not Old. I meant that I was not old In feelings, but my physical strength is not equal to the task of talking. This is the grandest and greatest subject for the consid eration of the American mind, because It in volves the prosperity of this country and the stability of our institutions. Do you tell me that it is to our interest to progress toward? free trade and let the government of Great Britain dictate what duty we shall levy tell me tnat." For several minutes Mr. Thompson dls cus.-ed the subject of protective tariff as ad vocatfd by McKinley. He paid that the ereatest satisfaction he had in public life was the fact that he had been permitted to vote for a tarlfT lull In 1S42. He showed how Democracy had left the government with a stupendous debt when Lincoln s admlnistra tlon began, ar.d hew, under tne Republican doctrine, the treasury wa replenished so that when Harrison's admini.tiatlon began there was a yearly surplus of 5C.uC0,0uo a year. "Now." be said, "do you know that you are about JLYC.ao.ooo In debt? You must par don me If I do not address you longer. I must husband my strength, but I will not rpare it if God give me strength enough to advocate the principles of the Republican party during the coming campaign. We do not want a J) cent dollar, we want dollars oi a hundred cents, as our fathers declared. whether gcU, silver, or paper. Let us go Into this fight with an earnest purpose, ad vocating the truth, and 1 verily believe that the result of this election shall demonstrate that the Democracy is entirely dead and can never revive. We will therefore go to wcrk and take up the duties cf this csnven tlon and trust in Almighty God for the pro tectlon cf us, our children, our Constitu tion and our liberties. AUOPTIOX P PLATFORM. Cae Plank Instruct for McKinley A Harrison Driuouiitmtlon. Immediately after the conclusion of thaddress the vast audience called for Harrlon with cheers that made the great build ing vibrate, but Indiana's honored son was not forthcoming and the convention proceed ed with the regular order of business. The report of tho committee on creden tials was then real and unanimously adopt ed. The committee on resolutions was next called. This report was read by Hon. A. O. Marsh, of Winchester. The report of this committee began with a lengthy pre amble, reciting the glorious achievements and illustrious history of the Republican party, and then proceeded to the declara tion of priaclplcj. The report was as fol Ions: Ycur committee cn resolutions beg leave to submit the following declaration of princinles: "It bas been forty years since the Re-C-iUcin party was born. It was tne caua oi

conscience. It grew and became great in

deed and achievement through the inspira tion that comes from a true am lorty conception of liberty and! freedom. Justice and equality, national Integrity and national honor. The whole world knows the stcry of tnis Nation's matchless growJi and development, while It pursued the policy and was true to the principles of the Republican party. This story Is written In field and forest. In fac tory and in mine. In counting nouse anu home, and In every avenue of human endeavor. , "It tells of the suppression of the rebellion, of the enfranchisement of the glaves; of the reconstruction of the States; of the restoration of our credit: of the sacrl recognition of our national obligations; of the rapid ex tinguishment of the national debt; oi rne extension cf our national domain: cf the es tablishment of countless dlverrtnen indus tries, and of a domestic and roie.gn iraue that reached a magnitude that txcited at - J f I . n nil ence the amazement anu aamirauun ui u Christendom. In short, from the beginning cf the administration cf Abraham, uincoin to the close of that of Benjamin Harrison. the record of the Republican party is tne story cf loyalty, of patriotism, and of magnificent achievement. "The experience of the last three years brlnzs out in a clearer light the excellence of the splendid administration of our illustri ous fellow-citizen. Benjamin Harrison, an administration under which we attained a measure of prosperity un-jqua.ed in tne nistory cf the government. "T!i T'rnnhHcan nnrtv Is the rartv of hon esty and prosperity, of law and order, of good wages, good markets and gocd mpney. and It asks the confidence and support ot the people at this time, submitting tor tneir approval the following statements of principles and policies, which will continue to guide and Inspire its efforts: DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. The Republicans of Indiana are in favor of protection. We demand a tariff tnat win not only secure the, necessary amount or revenue, but will also afford adequate and certain protection to the wage workers and producers of this country. "We demand that American sellers shall have the first chance in American markets. From Lincoln to Harrison, under the wise policy of protection and reciprocity, we steadily decreased our bonded debt,- resumed specie payment, maintained tne puDiic credit, kept unimpaired the gold reserve, Increase! the wealth of the whale country. and addel to the comfort and happiness of the people to a degree. unparalleled In the historv of nations. The reversal of this beneficent and patriotic policy by the Democratic party has brought to the American people nothing but distrust, ciencit anu aisaster. We therefore demand a return to the sound Republican policy of protection and reciprocity. "We are firm and- emphatic in our wraana for honest money. We believe that our money should not be Inferior to the money of the most enlightened nations of the earth. "We are unalterably opposed to every scheme that threatens to debase or depreci ate cur currency. "We favor the use of sliver as currency. but to the extent only and under such regu lations that Its parity with gold can be maintained; and in consequence are opposed to the free, unlimited and Independent coin age of silver at a ratio of IS to 1. "We demand a rigid enforcement of all existing immigration law3 by the national government, and the enactment or sucn further legislation as will the better protect cur people against the influx of the criminal and vicious classes or toreign countries. "We believe In a liberal construction or our pension laws, and condemn the unjust and unfair policy of the present administra tion In depriving ex-soiaiess cr tneir pen sions without notice- and without a hearing upon charges filed against them. "We believe it to be tne fluty or tne &tate as well as the Nation to make suitable pro vision fcr the care and maintenance of an unfortunate soldiers, their wives and widows, and we therefore commend the act cf the last Legislature of Indiana In provldin? a suitable home for the reception of such soldiers, their wives and widows as may be overtaken by adversity. THE M' KIN LEY PLANK. "Believing, as we do. In a protective tarlfT, the leading Issue before the people, we favor the nomination for President of the United States of the man who perfectly represents a protective tariff and the cardinal principles of the Republican party; a man who has devoted his life to the defense of his country In war and In peace; one who, at seventeen. fought with Hayes and Crook and Sheridan at Antletam and In the Shenandoah In de fense of our flag against foes within; and for fourteen years in Congress contended against cur country's foes from without, heatinff back British free trade and aggres sion which finally, under tho present Demo cratic administration, obtained possession of our markets and has almost destroyed our Industries; a man who, with the resistless shibboleth, 'protection and prosperity.' has challenged the attention of the commercial world and wen the support of every patriotic workingman of our country; whose life and work, open as a book, are In themselves a platform, and whose very name is magic that loyal American citizen, soldier, states man and Christian gentleman. William Me Kinlev. of Ohio: and the delegates to the Republican National Convention selected by this body are directed to cast their vote ior William McKinley as irequentiy ana con tinuously as there Is any hope of his norni nation." The reading of the resolution indorsing William McKinley was given In a voice thrilling with enthusiasm, and when Mr. Marsh pronounced the name of the Ohio statesman the convention went off its feet. The vast audience stood on chairs and benches; hats, handkerchiefs and umbrellas were waved, while cheer after cheer rent the air. . This applause was followed by almost an equal demonstration for Benjamin Harrison, and when the applause subsided a few irrepressibles continued to calL' for Harrison. The former McKinley demonstration was naught as compared to that which greeted the reading of the Instructions to the delegates at large. T,he motion to adopt the resolutions as a whole was made and was put to a vote. The vote was viva voce, and the vote fn opposition to them was as pronounced as the favorable vote, but the chair ruled with the affirmatives. His decision was granted with a pandemonium of applause. The ruling of the chair was not contested, and the Indiana delegates at large to the St. Louis convention are instructed for McKinley. DELEGATES AT LARGE. R. W. Thompson, C. W. Fairbanks, Gen. Wallace nml F. M. Mllllknn. Nominations for delegates at large were called for. The name of Col. R. W. Thompson was offered and he was chosen by acclamation. The name of Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks was next presented, with a motion to make his election unanimous, but this met with opposition, and a call of counties was demanded. The names of Gen. Lew Wallace and Hon. Hiram Brown? lee were presented to the convention by their respective districts. The Sixth district presented the name of Hon. Frank M. Millikan, cf New Castle. Mr. Millikan was on the floor of the hall with hi3 delegation, when Mr. Cy Clark, of West Indianapolis, rose to a question of personal privilege and asked that the sergeant-at-arms eject Mr. Millikan from the delegates floor. Mr. Millikan retired voluntarily and a little whirlwind was avoided. The name of R. R. Shlel, of Indianapolis, was placed in nomination, and then the convention proceeded to vote by counties for delegate at large. The result of the first ballot was as follows: 'Ji s. .2: 5 COUNTIES. cr p 3 ar V 3

When the result of thi3 ballot was announced it was seen that there was no election. A motion was then offered by the Twelfth district that the rules be suspended and that on the next ballot the counties express their preference for but three of the candidates, and that they ballot until the remaining delegates at large be elected. This motion was amended to read that Gen. Lew Wallace be elected delegate at large by acclama tion. This amendment carried with a hur rah, and General Wallace was declared the second delegate at large. THE SECOND BALLOT. Mr. Forkner, of the Sixth, endeavored to get the floor to remonstrate against' the original motion, but was not recognized by the chair. The motion, amended to pro vide for double ballot for two of the can didates by each county, was then put by Vice President pro tem. J. J. M. LaFollette and carried.

This motion carried. and Mr. Millikan was named as the third delegate at large to the St. Louis convention. Mr. John B. Cockrum moved that Mr. Fairbanks be made the remaining mem ber of Indiana's "Big Four." The motion carried ar Mr. Fairbanks was so elected. This makes Indiana's representation at large at St. Louis Hen. It. W. Thompson, Gen. Lew Wallace. Mr. F. M. Millikan and Hon. C. W. Fairbanks. SELECTION OF ALTERNATES. The convention then proceeded to the se lection of alternates, candidates being nomi nated by districts In their numerical order. The rules were suspended by a unanimous vote snd Hon. Hiram Brownlee was made an alternate at large by acclamation. The Seventh district presented the names of George L. Knox and It. B. Bagby. Tho Twelfth presented the name of R. T. McDonald. of Fort Wayne, and asked that his nomination be made by acclamation under the suspension of the rules. The motion was put to a vote and Mr. McDonald was elected, by an almost unanimous vote. 6amuel E. Kercheval moved that the rules be suspended and that E. O. Hopkins be elected an alternate at large for Hon. R. W. Thompson. This xotioa carried.

and Mr. Hopkins was so chosen. Under the

same mode of procedure G. L. Knox, of In dianapolis, was announced as the remaining alternate at large, although this was evi dently a mistake of the chairman, for It was understood in Marion county that the vots was cn iMr. Bagby and that he was elected. The alternates at large are Hiram Brownlee, R. T. McDonald. E. O. Hopkins and G. L. Knox, or Mr. Bagby," as it may afterwards be determined. Nominations for two presidential electors at large for Indiana were then called for. By a unanimous vote the rules were sus pended and H. G. Thayer was elected. Charles F. Jones, of Franklin county, was chosen as the other presidential elector at large by a unanimous vote. This ended the general work of the con vention, and a deep dive into State politics was made by the call for nominations for Governor. Antional Delegates Meet. Twenty-three of the thirty delegates to the national convention met last night to arrange their plans. An assessment was made on the delegates ta cover the ex penses of the trip. The question of retain ing an tne rooms engaged for the delega tion last winter was discussed, and it wa3 decided to keep all of them. 31 r. "Worrell Mnkea a. Correction. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In your report of the 5 o'clock p. m. meet ing of some of Wr. McKInley's friends in the Commercial Travelers clubrooms yes terday evening 1 am misquoted. I did not say that unless the delegates to be selected by the State convention were instructed for Major McKinley "they vwuld seize the first opportunity to break from him and follow the lead of New York or some other Eastern State and secure the nomination of General Harrison," for that vould be opposing Gen eral Harrison. What I said was: "The opponents of instruction, who were inspired from without the State, were, in my Judg ment, seeking to defeat instructions for McKinley so they could break away from him whenever New York or some other East ern State should cast some votes for General Harrison, and that the scheme had for its object the defeat of .McKinley only, and was not in the Interest of General Harrison," which is very different from saying or think ing that the delegates should be "bound down hand and foot, gagged and thoroughly labeled and placarded," as the Journal puts it, to keep them from following New York or some other State and nominating Harri son. General Harrison hasn't a greater admirer in Indiana than I am. He is the Gladstone of American statesmanship, and hasn't a superior on the earth as a wise and safe man to be at the head of government, and I regretted exceedingly when he refused to al low his name to go before the St. Louis con vention; and, believing now. as then, that lie was honest and sincere in his declination. and seeing that Major McKinley is so overwneimingiy the choice of the neonle wince General Harrison declined the use of hi name at St. Louis, and believing there was a preconcerted effort, hatched un wilthnnf the State, to use General Harrison's name to defeat McKinley a thing which General Harrison was In no way responsible for. and on which he frowned witk Indignation T have worked with a clear conscience for in structions for iMajor McKinley. and have no apologies to make, believing that by so doing those who have so worked have shown mori confidence in General Harrison's honor an3 integrity tnan ny presuming he was not sin cere when he refused the use of his name at St. Louis, and that he was merely playing for a "draft" Tru-rv tv-mtl.-t .t Indianapolis, (May 7. AT "WASHINGTON AND CLEVELAND. Senator Sherman Thinks McKinley's Nomination Certain. WASHINGTON, May 7.-The news from Indianapolis was awaited with interest at the Capitol. When Indiana's action became known Senator Sherman said the question was settled, and he believed Mr. McKinley would be unanimously nominated. The overwhelming sentiment, both North and South, was for him to such an extent that there could be no other outcome Friends in the Senate of other candidates and candidates themselves received the announce ment with a ETlm smile, but declined as a rule to be quoted. Senator Quay said that ne aid not consia?r tne ngnt closed until the convention should declare itself, as much would' denend upon the rontstln?r delegations.

OUR GAME LAWS. Importance of the Preservation of Game and Fish. Gaston Fay, In Atlantic Monthly. The space accorded in the statute books to laws for the protection of game and flsh is out of all proportion to their effectiveness or necessity. If . these laws were intended to be taken 'seriously groups of States with the same climatic conditions could combine and enact a simple and uniform code. Jointly applicable, particularly as relates to the open and close seasons. As it is now. each State frames its fish and game laws without regard one to the other. Not only this, but many counties of the same State are provided with special enactments. conflicting with the general game ajid fish laws ana in rorce only witnm tneir own boundaries. An Illustration of this is found in the State of New York, where the close season on wild ducks and geese commences on March 1, except on Long island, where it goes Into effect on May L As Brooklyn Is on Long island, wild ducks ana geese may be sold in its markets until the later date, whereas in the city of New York the same birds cannot be offered f or sale after March 1. This fine distinction is represented by the line of a narrow river. The game laws are loaded with just such petty and confusing discriminations, which, If enforced, would entail endless trouble and litigation. At a recent session of the Legislature of Wisconsin, an attempt was made to put into effect the theory- of a uniform game and fish law for contiguous States. A law was passed for the protection of certain species or game, wnicn. nowever, was not io ne valid until the Governor of Wisconsin had issued a proclamation to the effect that the States of Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois had passed a law in conformity with the provisions of that of Wisconsin. This attempt at concert of action was a complete failure. To secure tne protection or game, notnmg Is more imperatively needed than a uniform measure which will afford reasonable im munity to wild fowl that make their home in the United States during tne autumn. winter and spring. The assertion tnat any alarming decrease lrKthe number of fowl that frequent our waters-w in process of ac complishment has been often denied. This negation is bised on tne racx mat localities where they were formerly abundant have. after years of apparent desertion, witnessed their return In large numbers. .This IS a false assumption, as wild fcwl, other conriillons being equal, always congregate where food Is the more available. Their absence is'dueto the lack of 4t. If they return It is at the expense of some other locality, where the aquatic plants and crustaceje upon which rhey reel are. for tne time being, scarce. An Hlustratlon of this is found on some of the bays on the south side o' Long Island, where broad-Mil ducks were mow plentiful during the autumn of 1S9.1 than had been known for -thirty years' previous. This was owing to such an arrple supply of food that no amount of shooting couM drive tbe ducks away. In the autumn of 18D4 the ssm fowl were exceptionally absent from th?se waiters. Ther came, but did not stay. The nutriment which was In great plenty during the previous autumn was no longer there to tempt them, ome years ago. when the wildcelery beds of -the Susquehanna river were covered with sand, brought down by unusual freshets fln that stream, canvas-back ducks almost totally deserted the locality. Those that formerly tarried there during the season -resorted to other waters where they found suitable food, and where they had not been seen f or many years previous. Wi:h the recupentl"n of the wild-celery bls in the SusiuehannM the canvas-back ducks returned 'to the flats In the usual numbers. This shifting haolt of-will fowl creates a false l.Tvres5Y-n as to thfir numerical Increase. That they are rapidly on the decrease Is ; parent to thc-se who understand the danger:) which environ them. Johnny's AnitTcr. Judge. Teacher What boy in the class can give the past tense of migrate?

SOUTH DAKOTA GHOSTS

AN UNCANNY MYSTERY AT MADISON THAT DEFIES EXPLANATION. A Lonely House on the Prairie That Hnrhors the Spirits Scenes and Sounds That Ralae the Hair. Chamberlain (S. D.) Letter in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The people of Lake county are greatly mystified by what appear to be supernatural manifestations in a farmhouse near Madison, the county seat. Sedate business men, solid farmers, representatives of nearly every kind and condition of men have striven to solve the mystery of the haunted house, but without success, and those of a skeptical nature who have visited and remained in the house over night for the purpose of probing the mj-stery to the bottom have been compelled to confess' that the matter Is beyond their understanding. Gentlemen with a positive distaste for anything on the morbid or sensational order have gone as deeply as they dared into the matter and retired discomfited, with their materialistic ideas completely disorganized. The haunted house is situated about three cniies from the town of Madison. The land which surrounds it is ordinary prairie. The owner does not reside upon the land himself, but has been accustomed to lease it from year to year to responsible renters. Several different families have lived in the house for a time, and then betrayed an unconquerable inclination to desert it. The building is about elguteen by twenty-four feet In size, with an upstairs chamber divided into two rooms, and the same on the ground floor. On the first floor the rooms are plastered; up stairs the rooms have been lathed, but the plastering has never been put on. Underneath is a commodious cellar, nicely stoned up, with a window in one side which has been covered up with soil. All the time the investigation was made' to secure facts for this article the soil was frozen, and it was Impossible .to open the cellar window. The first occupants were a man, his wife and their infant child. They moved away quite suddenly, and are now lost sight of and forgotten. Since then there have been several renters, but none of them have remained ia the house for any great length of time. The last renter was a young Norwegian farmer named Carl Olson, who moved into the house with his wife and children on the 12th of last December. When the Olsons moved in the previous renter had not yet removed all his goods, but when night came he refused to sleep in the house, although invited to do so. He remained with a neighbor, and the next morning finished the work of removing his goods. He inquired of the Olsons if they had passed a comfortable night, but, notwithstanding that the couple had been beset with strange noises all night they thought that the clamor arose from natural causes and made no mention of it. But when the succeeding night came and the experience was repeated, and night after night followed In the same way, this honest couple began to think that all was not right. THE GHOSTLY MANIFESTATIONS. Neighbors were called in to assist them in unraveling the mystery of the noises, and these never failed to go away fully satisfied that there were uncanny sdghts and sounds In this farmhouse by night that could not be explained or accounted for. On Christmas eve Olson and his family retired early and slept soundly during the early part of the night. Mrs. Olson was awakened about 10 o'clock by the sound of a flute, playing a sweetly pathetic air. The sound was not close at hand, but seemingly dulled' by an intervening wall, as though the muslo was proceeding from an adjoining room. The air could easily be distinguished. Mr. Olson also awoke and heard the music, and for three hours the couple lay and listened to the interminable strains from the spirit flute. The air was the same throughout, and was repeated until it became very monotonous; The curious part of the matter was that tne (music would proceed to a certain point, and then a false note would be sounded: the ghostly musician would then hestitate and attempt to strike the note properly two or three times, and. falling, would go back to the beginning and play the few bars all over again, stumbling at the same point, and repeating again a before. After listening to thip for three hours it is no wonder Mrs. Olson's nerves collapsed. Then tlie husband arose and lit the lamp, whereat the music ceased. This experience has never been repeated since that time, but Olson still remembers1 . the ghostly music, and can whistle the refrain, which yet sticks in his mind as though it had been branded there with a. hot iron. After this tfie demonstrations subsided to the ordinary nightly noises. On Sunday nights the house would be comparatively quiet, but on each Wednesday night the noise v.as so loud that it seemed at times that the house must fall about the listeners' ears. It was atabout this time that rumors of these strange proceedings commenced to spread throughout the surrounding country, and it was not long before as many as a dozen visitors at a time would snend the flight in the house to test the truth of the rumcrs. The phenomena was ordinarily the same each evening, commencing with a steady sound ps of dripping at two points on the chamber floor one in the middle of the room, giving a metallic sound, as of water dripping into a tin dish or skillet: the other, near the corner wall, with a sound as of water dripping upon wood. The investigator could post himself quietly at both of these points and listen to the steady drip at his elbow. Downstairs the same ncise would be audible, crly softened by the thickness of the floor,-between. This continued all night, and ceased about 5 o'clock in the morning, and is yet a matteof regular nightly happening. The regular programme seems to call for a crackling and spluttering noise immediately after the dripping starts: then the walls begin to crack and ghostly fingers srlide un and down walls, making in the unfinished chamber a strange ruo-a-auo noise on the bare lath On each Wednesday night there are a great many additions to these manifestations. INVESTIGATION HEGUN. The attention of Mr. Moger, a prominent and intelligent citizen of Lake county, was finally called to the matter. He was very skeptical as to the reports, but finally yield ed to entreaty and consented to spend a night in the house. So Interesting was his first night's experience that he gave up his time for the next rive nights to a thorough investigation of the affair. The result opened up to him an entire new field of inquiry, and convinced him that these were mani festations and visitations from the spirit n ui iu, "On the first evenine of, mv inverter. tion," said Mr. Morgan, 'Unrepaired to the house about midnight, fullv determine that the whole business could be readily ex plained, ana intending to satisfy myself that there were no pranks being played by iiuiii4t.ii nanus, a iirst eearcnea tne yard, then the barn, and on enterinnr thp nrm. I examined the cellar thoroughly, satisfying myself that no one could enter it except through the room above. Then -the first floor and the chamber above were likewise thoroughly explored, and the little attic above the chamber, entered through a trap door. In every case I found it impossible for any one to enter and cause these dem onstrations without my knowledge. Having "luufiui juts iwi inenas, i arranged to nave one oi mem sieep on tne first floor, while the other, with myself, retired for th night on a cot in the room above, turning vui an me us iii to as io give ine spirltls. If there were any at all, full play. From the first moment of stillness we i,card the dripping, near at hand to our bed. and thL?. I may say, continued uninterruptedly all night. Then from the side walls and from the floor proceeded strange crackling noises, like splinters being torn from the floor. Occasionally I could swear that a shnrt nirc oi ary pine was oroicen in two with a fharp crack within a few inches of mv ear. Then . 1 . , . . - v - . came the noise of some flnger3 feeling along till? uair lain, oumciiairs siowiy, ana men again hurriedly. Then a tapping at a little clock shelf immediately over my head, with evidently an answering knock from a point directly opposite on the otner wall. At intervals during the night the wall of an infant was plainly audible. Not clocso at nan i. inn mun:ei. and at a distance. All of that long night I lay and listened to these noises, at times dozing, and then awakening at some unusually loud noise. Towards morning, when the gloom was the blackest, we plainly saw a lighted lamp near ine eaves in one corner or tne room: it was held by a white, feminine hand, and the forearm to the elhow could be seen. This passed from tho east to the west cor ner, and disappeared over the. source of the mysterious drippings. Later a woman's form appeared from the side wall, and came slowly to the bed. between the two trunks. The race and form were plainly to le seen. The face was thst of a woman probably forty-five years old. It was very mite, ana tne toreneaa was broad and ra. The cam was peakea. The dress was

a dark gray, and the hat a poor makeshift j straw affair, like some no or woman might

carefully trim up and make look respectaDie. i looked at all this without a word to my companion, and he described precisely the same vlsim to me when mornlnc came and we were able to compare our experi ences. This, with the accompanying noises. was tne experience of our first night. SIDCOND NIGHTS REVELATIONS. The second evening was very similar, and on both these occasions I had companions with me who were not given to vain Imaginings, and who were . entirely .skeptical until the vidence of their eyes and ears convinced them. On the third succeeding night we occupied the downstairs bedroom. the chamber above being unoccupied. This was Wednesday evening, and the pro gramme was unusually varied, complete and noisy. On this occasion the usual drip ping started in, the noise coming Indistinct ly from above. Then the cracking came, and It feemed for a while that the house was being split into kindling wood. Then a scuffing on the floor, like the Impact of a reit boot, close at hand. Soon the no.se could be heard proceeding from above. The pert, stealthy swish of the felt boots on the floor, the distinct noise of a struggle, then the sound as of the owner of the felts drag ging a heavy sack across the floor. Then the sound of the feet could be heard de scending the stairs, dragging the sack with a tremendous bump behind. Near the bottom the ghostly feet sl!pped and came kachug down two steps, and then along at our bed and to the front door beyond passed the spirit Ixjcts. with the sack dragging behind. This was all as real and material to us as the sunl!ght that now surrounds us. and my two 'companions and myself left that house the next morning with the impression that we had witnessed the dread rehearsal of some awful, deadly crime, commltted in secret in the small hours of the night, and that the victims were but rising from their graves to bring to mortal notice their grievous wrongs. This, with the plain tive walllngs of the unseen infant accom panying these manifestations, formed alto gether an experience to freeze the blood. "I nave given rree.y of my time and money to endeavor to get at the bottom of this whole business, "but I confess m$self com pletely foiled. There Is no reasonable ex planation of it to be found on any moral hyrothesls. I can arrive at no other conclusion, after a careful and thorough investi gation, than that It is most plainly and un deniably a manifestation from the spirit world something I have always held to re utterly preposterous, but now confess to be plainly apparent." WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAW. Other well-known residents of Madison and Lake county have had the same experience as Mr. Moger. His father rad precisely the same experience, only that the elder gen tleman was touched upon the shoulder and was violently shaken in bed. Mr. Anderson and Peter Lysager are two others that tell similar stories. Joseph Opperud, cahsier of one of the Madison banks, was one of the skeptics who were called in to investigate, and he returned fully satisfied of the super natural character of the incidents of which he was a witness. Another well-known citi zen was suspicious of the genuineness of the phenomena, and requested permission to remain in the house over night alone. He declared himself anxious to run against a real spirit, and sa'd that If such a tning happened he would "fix 'em." His request to have sole possession of the house was granted, and the family passsed the night at the home of a neighbor. He retired to bed early, with a cigar In his mouth for company. When the family returned to the house early the next morning, anxious to seee that no harnj had befallen him, he was found half dead with fright, P-i body chilled, his blood stagnant, and the poor fragment of the defiant cigar still In his mouth, but chewed to rlbbbons. The poor fellow would never fully explain what happened to him. simply stating that he had been stricken powerlesss to move a muscle. and that while he had been keenly alive to every sound, and haa even heard the team that was driven up to the house in the morning with the returning family, he was utterly unable to move or to speak until given restoratives. To this man also had come the apparition of the pale woman in the gray dress, the lamp held by the fem inine hand, the lamentations or tne spirit Infant, and the tragedy of the murderous struggle of he or the reit ooots ana tne dragging sack. All this, together with noises that seemed ft to split the ear, were the experiences of this poor devil through all the dragging hours or tnat awrui nignt. The stories told by Mr. Olson and r.is wife bear out the above Incidents. The couple, while occupying the house, became somewhat hardened to the noises, but in the case of Mrs. Olson this was not all. She was several times handled rather roughly. on one occasion being grasped on the thigh so tightly that she shrieked aloud with the pain, and for many weeks after the flesh remained red and inflamed where the inJury had been done. At length, worn out by the continued strain upon ner nerves. Mrs. Olson prevailed upon her husband to give up their tenancy, and on March 10 the family moved out. They have since enJoyed uninterruptedly the rest of irhich they were deprived while ccupants or the haunted house. Shortly after their removal the Journalist who furnished your correspondent with the facts in this article, in com pany with a friend, proceeded to the house about 9 o'clock of a fair winter evening. The building was entirely unoccupied, but to make assurance doubly sure, a thorough search was made of all the premises, and of the house itself, upstairs and down. When this was finished the party was prepared to make affidavit that there were no other living souls within haif a mile of the house. The pair of explorers did not separate for the night, as might be imagined, but arranged a temporary bunk on the floor and awaited developments. "Two phenomena were almost immediately noticeable," afterwards said the Journal ist: "first, the spirits began splitting kind ling wood on a most gigantic scale: econd. an extraordinary eruption of 'gooseflesh be came apparent to both members of the exploring party. Then for the next three hours an uninterrupted programme of plain and ornamental noises held full sway. Outside the moon was bright and air calm: the prairie was absolutely noiseless. Inside the most inrernai am was in eviuence; noi.ses that one might be sure could pe heard for forty rods or more. I stepped outside once or twice during the night, but not a sound was audible there. The seat of disturbance was all on the inside of the house, and the rumor of it was held within the four walls. We heard the ogre in the felt boots walk the floor; heard the sounds of his devilish struggle, and were all but witnesses of his murderous deed in imagination. Then slowly down the stairs came the boots and the bump. bump, bump of the loaded sack. and on by our very feet passed the phantom party. With all this came a strange elec trical disturbance in the reportorial party. Hair that had been carefully brushed showed a strange disposition to stand up and be counted. It was a hair-lifter indeed. Toward morning we drove home fully con vinced that enough evidence was at nana to Justify all that had been claimed for the haunted house." I THE LAND OF PILGRIMS. New England Characteristic Seen on a Train and In Boston. New York Mail and Express. It is curious how quickly one loses the atmosphere of New York and breathes the provincial, but tonic, ozone of New England as soon as he starts on a Journey to Coston. Scarcely have the traveler's steps crossed the barrier between l-orty-secona street and an eastward-bound train than he is surrounded by that peculiar accent, not quite English, but mere nearly so than any other local twang in the United States ex cept that of the Carcllnas and of some parts of Virginia ana juaryiana. mis accent buzzes all about the station platform and through the train. The New England visitor to New York may maintain a frigid reserve while he and she are on the streets of the busy metropolis. They investigate bargain counters with suspicious acumen, and their thrifty nature has been amply forewarned against well-dressed strangers who claim acquaintance with uncles or grandfathers who are presidents of village banks In the Housatonic or Connecticut valleys. But all this reserve is lost as soon as the passengers on an eastward train find themselves ence fairly ensconced, in their seats. Once more, after a day of dreadful mistrust amid the wiles of the metropolis, the New Englanders find themselves arnon themselves. They are again in the tents of Israel and the last howl of the Philistines has been left with their escape from the cab drivers In Forty-second street. The dear old New England taang pervades all the platform and resounds through every car. Such a quantity of bundles, such variety of baggage, such an assortment of packages as are stowed away by the women, with incessant twanging chatter, in racks overhead, in spaces beneath. In their laps and arms! One is forced to wonder whether the -distrust of these canny New England folk extends to the baggage men and to all the train crew. When the train has burned and smoked its way through the tunnel and is bowling along toward tho?e level stretches of rails that border the sound and cut across its inlets. the. conversation grows freer. People move up and down the atsles tnat Is. tne men do exchanging greetings. The boroughs of New England are thickly populated, but ther are not far apart, and the "best people," cr those good enouga to travel, know one another.

never see such an intermingling of friendly groups on a South-bound or Western train. Those trains are surcharged with the. consciousness of people who are sallyln? forth Into more or less remote regions of the continent on business bent. In this train, with cowcatcher ahead toward Hoston Bay. thera are only people who have finished their business, who have escaped the perils of the cable cars, and who are serenely and comfortably homeward bound, with the anticipatory scent of apple-sauce, cakes and tea already In their domestic nostrils. For those bound so far Kast that this home supper cannot be for them, there rre ample comforts on beard. Here again the local character of the passenger trafflc has made its Impress upon the railroad management. Nowhere In the South or West can you get so much to eat. with uch good service from trained attendants, if you wish to eat or drink, as you will find on anv of these through Ne '.England trains. This is not set down here as a tribute to the railroad, but as an evidence of how the traditional and admirable New England thrift stamps itself upon whatever may cater to its trade. The railroad caterer has- learned that pennies count and nickels shout in that 'close" corner ofthe country. The clergyman is larrroly in evidence in these Eastern trains. It appears that the New England clergyman finds It a frenuent necessity to visit the metropolis peniaps Ao perform corrmdMons for parishioner, so as to keep them unspotted from the Tenderloin, perhann te draw lessons for the edification of his- flock from the rude bustle of the city. Whatever the cause, it is certain that there is always a liberal sprinkling of the cloth in these cars; and that Its wearersare never allowed to roll over a mile of rails in peace. The personal acquaintance of these rural clergy must be most extensive, for they are overwhelmed with a succession of convfrsatiops. And upon what high themes! One delightfully prim oldt maiden, with smooth gray hair parted over a placid brow, with earnest eyes and Hps, not mobile, but pursed with persistent selfdenial, entreated her pastor, who admitted! that he was Just returning from Washington, where he had beer, invited to deliver a sermon, to enlighten her about the sliver question. The godly man. who doubtless knoxs more about the mysteries of the Garden of Eden, than he does about the glittering realm of modern .finance, struggled ta evade his inquisitor, and at last succeeded in Interesting her in a diiuisltlon about the comparative political -condition of the United Statps to-day and that of the last days of the Roman Empire. no doubt the good man meant all re sail and believed all he knew. Equally without doubt that charming spinster, when she reached home that night, looked unJer her bed to see whether the ghost of Mircus Aurellus cr the breathing entity of any present presidential candidate was thv. When this particular train reached Boston there was a strange disorder about the station. A representative of the Mail and Express, who was in a hurry to reach the business quarter of the town, waited in vain for a car. But the trolley lines seemed paralyzed. He asked a genial-looking citizen where the ca-s were. "I guess they're all blocked. Don't seem to be any along here, anyhow." was the reply. The newspaper man walked from the Providence Station (or depot, as they call it in Boston) to Tremont street. There were n." cars there, either. 'With some trepidation he asked a blue-coated policeman for information. "Don't yea know we can't ansveer ouestlons? You must ro to an Inspector. You'll And one two blocks away. Why, you must be a stranger here." concluded the officer as the Invader of Boston police etiquette withdrew and walked to the business street he sought. Arrived there, he founl the office building closed. He discovered the Janitor. "What's the matter in this town?" th visitor asked the Janitor. ''Unless I'm dreaming, this Is not Sunday: yet here's this business building closed, and all thee business rtreets are deserted, while all the Common Is full -of people and the street-rar lines are blockaded. What are you doinff here to-day?" The Janitor surveyed the visitor with a air of true Massachusetts supfrirrlty. "Why. don't you know he drawiel. 'r.at this is Lexington day? We're celebrating it "But." raid the visitor, anxious to indicate nis acquaintance with American history In the eyes of the Boston Janitor, "vesterday was the anniversary of Lexington." "Oh. yesterday was Sunday. That was not enough for us. We celebrate It here on Monday also, because the soldiers want to parade." T,1?en, vth?

When walking through the laboratory' of the "Volta bureau" with Dr. A. tJratiam Bell, the Inventor of the telephone, I p! -ked up on one of the shelves a piece of pine rooard about half on inch thick and eight Inches square. Out of the center of It extended a speaking tube, which apparently rested against a thin disk of bright metal sunk into the opposite side. This metal was like a silver mirror and was about a large around as the bottom of a tumbler. I asked Dr. Bell what it war, and he told me it was a perfected Instrument whose original construction enabled him to project his voice from one point to another through the medium of a sunbeam. It enabled him, in other words, to send sounds along a ray of light without the aid of an electric wlr. He trok the instrument and put the tube to his mouth, holding tie mirror so that It caught the sun and cat a little shadow-dl3k of light on the opposite wall. Then by breathing slightly he mad this shadow increase and diminish and assume various shapes bv the action of his breath against the mirror diaphragm. "That shows you," said he. "how the action of the diaphragm is carried along the ray.
