A horseman peaking from experience In handling colts, gives this advice: "Never attempt a thing with a young horse and fail. Horses may not be as intelligent as human beings, but they possess intelligence to know when they are, so to speak, on top. Whatever you undertake in teaching a young horse, plan thoroughly and carry It out. Be kind, but firm, and fmm the first teach the pupil that submission is necessary and will be enforced." John Tucker of Birdseye, after serving a term in the Jail at Huntingburg for drunkenness, was rearrested on the evening of the 2id for assault to kill on John Gray, but broke away from the city marshal and fled toward Patoka river, Into which he plunged and attempted to swim to the opposite shore, near which he threw up his hards and punk out of sight.

He died In an effort to save the life of a drowning companion. Pale, cold and lifeless, he Iks beneath the muddy and treacherous waters of the relentless river this morning, but the act that brought about his death was one which should cause his name to be written among the names of those lion-hearted men who have died for men.

Edward Sisterhen had one of the finest wheels in the city last Tuesday noon. Since then he has been without it. About 2 o'clock a stranger stepped into the store and asked to try the wheel, which Sisterhen refused to allow. The fellow stood arcund for several minutes until Sisterhen was engaged with a customer, when he mounted the machine and struck out. He has not been seen since and has doubtless disposed of the wheel before this time. It was a bold trick. Ligonier Kanner. There is likely to be a substantial "rise" in the price of farm lands near Albion, as it is reported that "Pakagon." the Indian chief who lately favored, the hub with a visit, is about to get $175,000 from the government, and that he proposes to use it in buying a large farm in that vicinity. We would welcome Pakagon and his $175,000 to Noble county with ip-m arms, but when it goes to Investing that much money he should extend his prospecting tour into this part of the county. Ligonier Banner. Dr. J. C. Beck died at Norwood Thursday afternoon. He was born in 1S22 at Vienna. Ind. He was a member of the A. O. U.

He failed to give bond ani was remanded to the county jail, where he has been since his arrest. New Albany Ledger. Hagerstown narrowly escaped a serious conflagration last Friday afternoon. George Fulkerson, clerk in Allen's drug store, was in the back room experimenting with some chemicals, which exploded spontaneously, causing much commotion and alarm, owing to the inflammable nature of the contents of the room. The tire department was called out, but the lire had been subdued b-ftre they arrived and their services were n.it needed. Mr. Fulkerson was seriously burned and was removed to his residence, where his injuries were attended to. Robe-t Boyd is wiping bi, briny tears from his gray eye. lU'bert does this with a degree of consistency, too. He wnt to Hamilton Sunday evening to call upon a lady friend, who resides a few nulQS out in the country hills of Butler county. Robert walked out, and suppled that he would be "hauled" back" to catch the night train. He 'wasn't though. Such a proposition was not even ventured. So he walked back and had a heavy rain for company, and the long tails ot that new frock coat now hang like the broken wings of a young robin. Robert is not arranging fur another trip next Sabbath. Richmond Item. Traveling over the country the jolly salesman has quite a variety of experiences. Joe Scott had one last week. On his train one day he found a handsome young1 fellow adorned with a pair of steel bracelets. Inquiry developed the fact that he was a member of the notorious Dalton gang of bandits and was being taken back La Kansas for trial.

Some workmen who had taken refuge from the Btorm in the building had but just time to get out when it was hurled from Its foundations. The barn n the George Jean farm was also destroyed.

The supreme court affirmed the decision of the court below and the death penalty was then carried out. The News stated the other day there was in Kelley's camp the con and brother of a millionaire, and such Is the case. The name of the man has become publio. It is Perry Polk, brother of the Rev.

This quieted him. and he is now very peaceful. Marion Chronicle. "Col." Baker of Kelley's industrial (?) "army," while In Jeffersonville on Monday night, exhibited a letter f.om the Rev. F. X. Weber of LouisV'.e, asking permission to join the gang.. The preacher said he did not want to embarrass "Gen." Kelley, with another mouth to feed, but he was anxious to add his voice and influence to the good cause. Mr. Weber, who is an evangelist, was Instructed to meet the "army" of ÖS2 men at Madison. But did he? The attempt of the Journal to show that Crawfordsvllle is being robbed U erroneous. Here are the figures: We received from the state $9,138 22 and paid In J5.434.97. We have paid back about $3,20 so that we still have to our credit J 400. That don't look like we had gotten the worst of it. Some of the out townships did not fare so well. Scott township Piid In Jl04..r8 more than she received from the state and Sugar Creek paid in $U."7.01 more than she received. It's the out townships that are paying the money back and not Crawfordsvllle. The attempt to make a little political capital out of this matter and at the expense of Attorney-General Smith falls flat when the facts are laid bare Crawfordsvilie Argus-News. Preparations for the Fourth of July are progressing in a very satisfactory way. The land has been secured for a part or all of the day. The laying of thi corner stone of the new school building will attract the crowd in the morning, followed by the sham battle. The address of Elder Scott will be delivered soon after dinner, after which will copie the races at the fair ground and probably a game of ball at the old fair ground. It is now understood that the corner stone will be laid by the Knights of Pythias, and the address at that ceremony will be made by Attorney Woodworth, on the part of the K. P. lodge. Altogether the day promLse3 to be a very enjoyable one and will doubtless attract a good crowd. Starke County Democrat. MaJ. Strickland has just returned from Lima, O., where he witnessed the races last week. He saw Splan drive Jack In 2:14 over Lima's half-mile track and saw other races that were exciting and Interesting which led him to think what a shame It Is for Columbus, which once had the best mile track in the country, to be behind the times this year. He also came to the conclusion that a halfmile track will furnish Just as good a sport as a more pretentious course. The major made an excellent suggestion which lovers of the sport might well ponder; that was to hold a fall meeting at Lambert's half-mile track, which is the only track accessible by railroad In the county. With a little fixing up Lambert's track would make an excellent race course. Columbus Herald. Charles B. Stuart, who Is now serving his third term as trustee of Purdue university, which expires In August, has received from Governor Matthews a commission of reappointment for another term from the expiration of the present one. The compliment conveyed In this unsolicited recognition of Mr. Stuart's service is most handsomely deserved. Hl3 whole time and best energies since he has first been a member of the board have been devoted to the advancement of Purdue's best interests, and next to President Smart, his work and efforts have done more to strengthen and build up the university than that of any other person. He has labored zealously and earnestly with no hop:- of reward further than the success of the Institution. Lafayette Courier. During the progiess of the ball game at Ladoga Wednesday afternoon the spectators were witnesses to a scene that froze tBe blood, notwithstanding the mercurial bulb hung near the 1 wo mark. Screams were heard and looking up all were appalled to see three little children on the long trestle and a Midland train coming in the distance. Umpire Ol Gill called the game off and several men ran to the rescue. In the meantime the mother came running and screaming and it was a race for life. The oldest child got off, but the two smaller, aged about four and six, stood transfixed as it were. The trainmen saw them and put on the brakes. After a harrowing wait of whi t seemed to be an hour the engine was stopped and the little toddlers tarried off. Crawfordsvllle Argus News. The case of Walter Hammond, the negro, for Bhooting at Krank Cole was on trial Tuesday before Judge Briggs. The evidence showed that Cole was out hunting and came across Walter Hammond and his brother talking with his daughter, Mrs. Knotts. Cole warned them to let her alone and keep off his premises. He took lis daughter toward her home, and when they got to her house Walter Hammond followed, and an altercation took place between them and six shots were exchanged; Cole shooting four times with a shotgun and Hammond twice with a revolver. The Judge in passing sentence found that Hammond was In a place where he should not have been and that he fired the first shot, and that he should be confined in the penitentiary for two years and fined 100. Sullivan Times. A very small coffin covered with flowers came Jn from Logansport Tuesday and lying In the depot waiting until the train for New Paris, attracted a good deal of attention. It contained the remains of a child, and was so covered with flowers as to be almost hidden from sight. Among the floral designs was one Inscribed "Sympathy of Universalst Sunday-school," another, "Sympathy of the O. It. C."

A little incident occurred Monday morning at the crossing of Ppring-st. and Court-ave. which slowed considerable heroism on the part of the watchman at the crossing, Joe McKee, and much carelessness on the part of the parents of a little child. A Utile toddler, not more than three years old. neatly dressed and bright and smiling, had evidently been to the grocery to get some things for the folks at home. When he got to the middle of the track on Court-ave. he sat down and began to look over the bundles just as th? dinkey train was approaching. Xob m!- had noticed the child except the watchman, who, at the risk of his l!fi sprang upon the track, grabbed the child and got rt out of the way barely in time to miss being run over. Who the little one was is not known. Jeffersonville News. There is a dg at Deputy, this county, that is said to chew tobacco. This canine has something of a reputation, and his ownrr, the village postmaster, is pardonably proud of him. When Ponto was a pup, twelve or thirteen years ago, Mr. Baker was keeping a store in Deputy. Ponto had a peculiar habit of licking his foot, and when his master came to investigate, he found that the dog had. been stealing tobacco from the boxes in the store. He would tear the tobacco into shreds, and, holding the tobacco in his paw, lick, away the substance. From that day Ponto has been wedded to the weed. Postmaster Barker shares his daily allowance with the dog, and Ponto now chews more than his master. At the ace of thirteen he Ls still fat and healthy, while many good dogs who came into the world with him, and did not thew tobacco, have passed to their long sleep. Madison Courier. A boy about fifteen years old, who came in on a tr i in from the Xorth Monday and was waiting at the Pan-Hanu'e station to make connections with a train for Marion, attempted to cross the track ahead of the Chicago express to g-t a drink from the adjacent pump. His foot caught in the track and he fell not more than a few yards ahead of the engine. Many of the horrified spectators turned away their ey-, but, either by virtue of his acquired momentum or by instinct, the boy rolled out of the way and off the track. So close was his escape that the front wheel tore his coat. As soon as the train came to a standstill the crowd ran around It and found the boy standing up and brushing off his clothes. It was his first trip alone, and he evidently took it as a regular incident of the Journey. He did not seem to realize his miraculous escape and was distressed only because he had "torod his clo's." lie boarded the train which had f nearly killed him and went on to Marion alone.

Whitmore were in Marion Monday hunting for the murderer of Mr. Whitmore'B brother, 12. A. Whitmore, which occurred at Ransom, June 4. John Oxley of Van Buren township was in that vicinity at the time and it was susplcioned that he was one of the murderers. Sheriff Williams ana J. II. Boxell wnt out to Monroe township Sunday night, where Oxley was known to be, and chased him aa far as Van Buren before he was overtaken. He was brought to town and lodged in Jail, and when the Illinois deputy sheriff and the brother of the murdered man came last evening they visited the jail and Whitmore said he was not one of the men. The murder occurred about 10 o'clock. The murdered man was counting out the cash, and his wife and brother were In the rear end of th store when two men appeared and covered them with revolvers. E." A. Whitmore attempted to defend himself, and was shot dead. The men escaped. The brother says he would know the men if he saw them. Marlon Chronicle. 1 Prof. W. H. Ilershman was last week tendered the euperintendency of the Xew Albany city schools. The offer came to him unsolicited and unlooked for, It simply being an Invitation to step up and assume a position more nearly commensurate with his growth in educational work. As Mr. Hershman had been elected superintendent of the schools of this city for the coming year, he laid the matter before the school board for their consideration. The board after considering the matter offered to raise the salary of the superintendent. This Mr. Hershman refused to accept, saying that It was not so much .the salary In which he was Interested as It was. the oppor. tunlty presented of rising In the profession. The board, after considering the matter in this light, accepted his resignation. While it was done with some degree of hesitation it was at the same time done with a kindly spirit, the board feeling that while it wai their duty to work for the benefit of our schools it -W-JUaaft ih3 le?3 JJieirdjAijrt&JESSard

On Wednesday, June 0, the ninetyfirst birthday of William Cook was celebrated by relatives and friends of Maple ltun and vicinity. Many of his friends came in with baskets well filled wijh the luxuries of life.

He has been an honored resident of his adopted township. He is a member of the Friends' church, and notwtihstanding his advanced age attends Sabbath and midweek services regularly. Marion Chronicle. Sam Coulter is one of the best known residents of Walnut township and his eccentricity and high temper have made him the butt of many a practical joke and cutting jibe. Sam is a wild democrat, most rampant in his belief and in his expression of opinions. His loyalty during the war has been questioned, whether rightly or not we do not know, and it was alleged that he hated the sight of blue clothes. Some time since, however, the righteous Samuel purchased a suit of Sunday clothes of blue that vied with the heavens. Immediately Sam's Sunday suit was the topic of conversation in Walnut township and it was stated by some erudite correspondent that "Sam Coulter had donned the once hated blue." This aroused Mr. Coulter's ire and ever since there has been "wah" In old Walnut. Many bitter things were said by both side3 and no doubt the Sunday clothes of Mr. Coulter were as thoroughly aired as any suit ever worn by mortal man. The matter got into the church and bad blood arose there even. Last Sunday night the climax came in the Mace methodist episcopal church. The congregation upon assembling found the famous blue suit tied in a bundle and deposited, on the altar of the sanctuary. Pinned to the bundle was a violent letter from Mr. Coulter demanding that his name be stricken from the church rolls. He declared that the methodlsts and Presbyterians of the community had so badgered him that he wanted nothing more to do with the churches and concluded by saying that so many threats had been made against him that he was afraid tr Imvc hi nrnnprtv unprotected while Miss Ros Xixon Stone has returned from Sioux City, la., to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Daggett, 910 K. Market-st.. and has came to stay. Mrs. Stone first married Harry Nixon, the well-known horseman, but Jinally left him on account of his cruelty and secured a divorce. She remained single some time, but last fall, at the world's fair, she met J. W. Stone of Sioux City, la. Stone was a wealthy stock-raiser and was well connected, and while some what bucolic in appearance was evidently all right. A correspondence was kept up until about the latter part of last March, when Stone arrived here to claim her as his. Mr. and Mrs. Daggett interposed strenuous objections, but to no effect, as their daughter was clearly won by the blandishments of the honest farmer. The marriage took place and the happy couple departed for Sioux City, near which was the groom's large farm cf 600 acres. All was as had been represented. The groom and his famiry had excellent social standing, and position and years of happiness seemed to open up before the Hoosler girl. For five weeks everything wajdovely, but at the end of that time Mrs. Stone discovered that her husband was losing his mind and he grew rapidly worse. He became insanely jealous Jealous of his own father, brother, mother and every one who came near his wife, at the same time practicing the most cruel and Inhuman treatment upon her. Finally she could stand It no longer and secretly wired her father for money to return to Indiana. Under police protection she boarded the train and has arrived home broken in health and a total wreck of her former self, . but happy to be once more among her relatives and friends.
