THE INDIANA STAT: SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1691 -TWELVE PAGES.

Ins the mayoralty campaign two years kiKrt, which resulted In the election of Carter II. Harrison, he was active in a 'email way in political circles, and spent much of hia time electioneering ami working for Mr. Harrison. He was also en ardent and enthusiastic advocate of the single tax theory, and he was in the habit of attending meetings of the ptngl tax club. Thus he gained a smattering of knowledge about various jnatters, and among his fellows was regarded as a prodigy of learning. He regarded himself in the same light, and treated the other carriers with superciliousness and evident contempt, which they were disposed rather to encourage han resent. Prendergast had a disagreeable fondXies for beating and torturing his younger and slighter co-workers. Last summer he grew tired of his featureless existence. What he wanted more than all other things, what was more necessary than everything else to his happiness, was to t talked about. He longed to .fee his name In the newspapers, to know that he was filling the public eye. He '"lusted after distinction, no matter Vhether It was good or bad. lie felt '.that to enjoy the sensations of notoI'riety he would risk murh. But he was, according to general belief, a coward, fand would not ri?k his life. He would -risk his liberty for the delights he 'dreanred of, but not his life. For days and wee ks he cast about him ;for a promising means to hi.-? end. At last it occurred to him that it would ; create comment if one in his station irv hife, a humbl PewsjKiper carrier, should Japply for a hieh office in the municipal 1 government. The idea, one? admitted, I toolc cornolet? possesion of his mind. He appeared in Corporation Counsel Adolph öKrause's f one day and announced that he desired to succeed Mr. Krause In th: Mr. Krause laughed at -him and tf. k the announcement as a Joke, and Ir-iidergast neaked out, and I there wa.? no comment on the incident '.'in the ppvis next morning. EiasprM tl by his failure to secure ( the notoriety he craved, Prendergast determined i make another effort. At last he selected Mayor Harrison. He called upon the mayor, and with all the gravity ho could master stated his deplre. to te appointed corporation counsel. .The mayor was in good humor and the ludicrousness of the affair struck him. lie chaffed Prt-ndfTgas: good naturedly and speedily forgot him. At any rate, 'Jie did not think it necessary to notify the newsia.jerp, and again Prendergast Called of Ins object. He was now more idatermined than ever to attain it. He 'resolved that he would pet hi name into the newspapers even at the risk of arrest. He called again upon Mayor Harbison and hinted that if his request did kiot securo prompt attention it would be .Werse for the mayor. ., But his cowardice prevented him from naking th? hints ominous enough to Vrlghten or even startle the mayor. Mr. Harrison did not know fear, and he treated rrendergast's threats as lightly 'fi.3 lie had treated his requests. This Jlme h? ordered Prendergast out of the office, but. in spite of that he did not Ihink the matter important enouph to Jrnention it. Prendergnst concluded to write to the mayor. His letters were not inly unanswered, but he could not be ure that they had ever been delivered. Cgain he called on Mayor Harrison. This time he was received brusquely and was warned to ktep away and trouble the triayor no mor?. Desperate with his determination to Secure the longed-for notoriety, and enraged at his repeated failure, Prenderpast at last worked himself into a frenzied momentary courage, and committed the frightful crime for which he died toSay. On the night of Oct. 2S, is:3. Carter II. Harrison, mayor of Chicago, was eated at dinner with his son and daughter, in his residence in Ashland boulevard. The door-bell rang, and a lowbrowed. shambling, ill-clad fellow asked to see the mayor. The man was Prendergast. "When informed that the mayor was at dinner he turned away and said he would return liter. "When the man called again the mayor was dozing on a couch. It had been "American Cities Day" at the World's fair, and he had made the best Epeecli of his life to a vast throng of people. He was awakened by the sound of voices and came toward the donr. The man approached the mayor, said something that was not overheard by the Jervant, and then pointed a revolver at Ir. Harrison's breast and fired. The Assassin ran into the street, and. after discharging a ball at the pursuing butler, disappeared in Jackson-st.. shortly afterward surrendering himself to the police, about the tlm that Mayor Harrison expired in the arms of Miss Anna Howard of New Orleans, to whom he was to have been married in a few days.

This town is located In Wayne county and is known by the name of Bethel. It is over a half-century old and has but one Christian denomination, that of the Christians, which, occupy the only church, one renter, one democrat and one dog. We will say for the solitary

disciple of democracy that he is neither the renter nor the owner of the canine.

The "telegraph liar" came In for a severe scoring at the recent session of the Northern Indiana editorial association. This individual is the fellow who telegraphs all sorts of fake stories to the metropolitan press. Many towns are afflicted with him, and it has come to such a point that the reader is in doubt aa to whether there Is any truth in newspaper dispatches or , not. While most of these manufactured dispatches

are harmless, there are times when they undoubtedly do great injustice to certain communities. Hartford City has no "telegraph liar." The correspondents here of the metropolitan dailies aim to be truthful and the community therefore has not suffered at their hands. Hartford Evening News. Elizabeth C.

About 150 people in all attended the populists picnic near the Wathan school house Wednesday and of that number the majority were ladies. There was also a few democrats and republicans scattered among them. Fiery speeches were made in the morning by thIr new convert. Arnold J. Padgett, and B. L. Ross of Shoals. At noon the ladies served a good dinner, when the speech-making was resumed. Among the speakers were Candidate 'Lish Rigglns, who paid his respects to Col. Hardy, and Candidate Tom Wadsworth, who kept the audience "a wigglin' " for an hour and a half with one of his windy speeches. The populists adjourned, believing they had accomplished an immense amount of good. Washington Gazette. A threshing machine belonging to Mart Hull, near Millhousen. was destroyed by fire about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. The machine was left standing in a wheat field when they shut down Saturday night, and some candidate for zebra stripes took the oil c.an3 from the machine and poured their contents over it and then applied the torch, burning machine and belting. A total loss of near $5oO. Mr. Hull will probably buy a new machine at once. James White received a request from Mr. Hull to come to Millhousen at once with his bloodhounds, as suspicion rested upon a party who had been seen "monkeying" around the machine a few hours before It was consumed, but his male dog was sick and unable for duty. Greensburg Era. During the troubles of the past two weeks Mayor Reüley has shown more fully than ever before that he is a man of the people. He has pushed aside the railroad corporation's demands and not heeded their threats by which they tried to bring about a policy which would have, meant riot after riot and loss of life. He has from the first counseled peace and his instructions to the police have been instrumental in keeping the peace. His) counsel to the strikers has at all times been that of a friend as they all well know. Ail day on Sunday hf pleaded with people to keep away from railroad property and from the troops, and had that advice been heeded the murder committed that day would not have occurred. Hammond News. Frank Bradley, a young nan of about seventeen summers, hailing from Mt. Comfort, lost his sense of de?ency (if h ever had any) while in Pendleton last Friday to such an extent as to publicly insult a young lady. Marshal Lewark was apprised of the young fellows' conduct, and Sivin took him in charge and inarched him before Siuire Fort, where he was charged with assault. He pleaded guilty, at the simp time trying to explain that he made a mistake, and that h didn't mean any harm, etc. The squire fined him 10 and costs for his "harmless" conduct, which in all amounted to $17.50. He paid $10 cash and left bis watch as security for the balance. It is safe to say that tht next time young Bradley comes to town he will conduct himself in a gentlemanly manner. Bändlet on Republican. II. II. Culver, the multi-millionaire of St. Louis, who owns a large tract of land at Maxlnkuckee, has erected a substantial building in his park and will establish a military academy. The school will be formally opened Sept. 24, under the supervision of Dr. J. H. McKenzie, late president of the Ohio military institute of Cincinnati. Culver academy will be the name of the school and the founder intends to set aside a park for its permanent use. The school will be private and the faculty will follow the regular course of instructions as at West Point. Attention will be given to athletics under a special trainer. No money will be spared to make It a firstclass institution for the training of boys In military science and discipline. The enterprise will be a source of much attraction to the already popular lake resort. C ra w f o r d s v i 1 1 e Argus-News. The city officials were thrown into a chilly perspiration Saturday morning on the arrival of the news that a band of Coxeyites were enroute here from Danville, 111., by rail. It was sail that the people of Danville had it in for us because we roasted thcrn for the way they treated our P. O. S. of A. boys, and to get even had taken up a collection to send the Coxey band here, assuming that we would welcome them with wide-open arms. The mayor consulted with Sheriff Davis and made preparations to fire the first son-of-a-Coxey out of town the minute he landed. George Markley came in from Peoria this afternoon on the, Big Four, and says he saw the army en route from Danville to Covington, where they expect to camp over Sunday. He says it numbered about two hundred men. and expected to reach here Tuesday. Sheriff Moore of Covington has notified thm thy will not be allowed to stop at Covington at all. Crawfordsville Argus-News. Dr. Ristine. while driving alone the Terre Haute road several miles south of the city yesterday, was attracted by the peculiar actions of a half-grown chicken in the weeds In a fence corner. The bird seemed anxious to move but was somehow held back from the execution of its evident desire. It flopped its wings and cried piteously but was unable to proceed. Moved partially by curiosity and partially by sympathy Dr. Ristine alighted and proceeded to the spot. He stooped over the chicken to learn the cause of the trouble and then sprang several feet back into the road. He saw that the chicken was In the power of a large and ugly snake which had seized it by the foot ai d had nearly a whole leg in its mouth. Armed with a stout club the doctor despatched the reptile and released its victim, which ran away with joyous squawks, presumably of gratitude. The snake was a rattlesnake several feet long wi:h eleven large rattles and one rudimentary rattle. Crawfordsville Journal. An Englishman, who has been staying around here for a few months past, was ordered out of J. W. Cottom's office last Monday morning for his treasonable utterances. Speaking of this country he said it was ruled by mobs, and declared that the rebellion was nothing but a mob, and the revolutionary war was the same. This was more than Mr. Cottom's patriotism could stand. The sooner all men who entertain such sentiments as this man expressed return to their native land the better it will be for all concerned. The man- evidently forgot In his haste that the "Yankee mobs" whaled the red-coated British soldiers out of their boots both in revolutionary war and the war of 1812. Some school boy ought to present him with a history of how Burgoyne at Saratoga and Cornwallls at Yorktown surrendered their finely equipped and wiell disciplined troops to the "mobs," to say nothing of the recepti'wi Gen. Jackson's "mob" gave the British army at New Orleans. Winchester Journal. For some time the ladies of the Mascotte cooking club have been under promise to entertain their gentlemen friends with a dinner. The promise was fulfilled Wednesday night, and In a manner that brought the recipient of the club's hospitality Intense enjoyment In all the history of pleasurable events in Washington society none is recorded that possessed more of the elements of mental and physical enjoyment than the elaborate banquet that was spread last night at the home of one of the club's most popular members, Miss Bettle Clements, on. upper Alain-st. The spa

cious parlors of the Clements home were filled almost to overflowing with the youth, beauty and fashion of Washington, and the scene was a most animated one indeed. The decorations of the dining-room were striking and tasty and provoked scores of compliments. There were Fix tables, the appointments of which were In the several colors, green, yellow, pink. red. white and blue. The dinner was served in eight courses. After dinner the club received a number of the married friends of its members, and the balance of the evening was passed in dancing. Among those present were Mrs. Mayme Drady of Newport. Ky.. and Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Meyers of Galveston. Tex. Washington Gazette. During the great railroad strike th-? fact that a sister of the president of the American railway union is living in Marion was known to but few. Such, however, is the case, the sister being Mr. Henry' Michael, wife of the florist of this city. To Mrs. Michael the Chronicle is indebted for the following facts: In the Debs family there were four sisters and two brothers, all being born and raised In Terre Haute, with the exception of Mrs. Michael, whose birthplace was New York City. The parents of this family were from Colnar, France. It is with the two brothers this article has to deal principally, for the younger brother, Theodore, is Eugene V. Debs's secretary. Eugene Debs is a self-educated man, having left the high school in Terre Haute two years before he would have graduated. His career begain as a painter, painting fancy coaches under the instruction of an artist from Paris. While learning this pursuit a firem; n on the railroad became ill, and no one could be found to take his place. Some one asked Eugene to substitute for a few days until the man recovered, which he did. He fired two weeks, and became fascinated with the work. His parents were bitterly op;osed to his becoming a fireman, owing to the peril, and he was persuaded to go into the wholesale grocery of Hullman of Terre Haute. Marlon Chronicle. The Coxey hobos arrived on time Wednesday evening and about 5:30, with Mayor Bandel and Sheriff Davis at their head, the line of weary marchers wheeled into Main-st. and continued their j urney east. The column never halted until it was three miles east of town, at Walnut Forks. There they were toll they could camp for the night. There they stopped and prepared for supoer. A wagon load of provisions was taken out and the hobos enjoyed a full meal of bread and meat before donning their slumber robes. In the meantime the news had spread over the city and by S o'clock hundreds of vehicles vere on the way out to the hobo camp to get a look at the dusty travelers. The reception committee, which consisted of Messrs. Bandel and Davis, met the hobos just west of town where they were ready to halt for the night and told them there was a much better camping ground on the east side of town- By a little diplomacy the party was induced to proceed to Walnut Forks. The reception committee tendered their sympathies and the promise of something to eat. Gen. Kelsey, the leader, said he had started from Omaha with 150 men, but fifty of them had secured work and the others who had not deserted were still with him. They were on their way to Washington to visit the grass patch made famous by Coxey. Thursday morning Bandel and Davis wmt out to escort them across the line into the adjoining county . C r a w f o r d ? v i 1 1 e Argus-News. Some time ag we called attention to the case of Alexander Robinson, who was blind, but had been operated upon and cured. He is now fifty-eight ye.trs of age. The operation was a success, and he now sees as well as any man. It was a ni"3t interesting case from the fact that the receiving of his sight aftr being blind for fifty years must have been a good deal like coming to earth after having been off it for fifty years. Robinson's faculties, as is always the case with peple who are blind, were highly cultivated, so he had better ideas of things he had never seen than might be imagined; but he had bis eyesight up to his eighth year and so remembered things dimly as he had seen them when a child a mind of fifty-eight years, see-, ing things with the eyes of a child of

eight years is something He had no idea ? color might as well have been him, or b'.ack white, and of a novelty, at all. Green called red to he would not have known the some idea of form difference. He had but it was slight. He did not know a house when he saw it first, that is, not for sure. He thought it might be a house, but wasn't certain. He thought a man was ever so much biger than he is. A horse, he had thought, was a small animal like a dog and was In ecstacles with their appearance and motions. He thought the doctor's mare was the prettiest thing in the world. He went to the circus before he went homa, and what he saw there he will nver get tired talking about, and the engine that hauled his train that pretty near set him crazy with delight. Richmond Palladium. A reporter Friday happened in at the hospital of Cloud &- Hoover, just as an operation known as "trefining" was about to be performed on a large black horse belonging to William Sehendler. The horse was kicked Just below the left eye. last Sunday vhlle grazing about one of the familiar picnic haunts near the city. The process of "trefining" as performed in this case is as follows: The kick left an ugly hole clear through the bone, and the cavity in the skull just below and entered from the injured snot, was filled with corruption and the pieces of bone that had been kicked into it when the accident occurred. Dr. Hoover introduced a hypodermic injection of cocaine benath the surface about two and a half inches below the wound, then bathed the outside skin with the same anesthetic, and was ready for work. With a lance, a small square of skin and muscle was cut out, the horse hardly flinching, but standing calmly as if being curried. "Then the bone was scraped, and the "trefine," a peculiar sort of "augur" with a sharp-pointed bit. was used to bore into the lower end of the cavity into which the upper wound entered. From this, when the "trefine" had penetrated the boney shell, a large quantity of blood and pus issued, together with all the pieces of dead and bfoken bone contained therein. Injections of water were, made through the upper hole and the place nicely cleaned out. Then the upper opening was filled with oakum and the lower one also after all the effete matter had run out. Even through the boring of the bone, the horse stood gently and was a model patient throughout the entire operation. 'Richmond Telegram. An old farmer from the Linden neighborhood drove into town this morning and confidently informed a friend that he had come to have his son cured of the liquor habit. The old farmer s son had been a hard drinker for some time, and the other day he received a letter from an alleged faith doctor of this city, named Adams, who has been hanging out at the Royal hotel, the ehstwhile Farmers house, on E.. Market-st.. for sevcial months. This letter went on to state that the "doctor" had been Informed of his son's bad habit and that he could readily cure the boy. He directed the farmer to have his wife se-v a piece of flannel, two inches square. In the bottom of the boy's sock and allow him to wear it four days, then cut the flannel out and bring It to the doctor, who would cure the lad without giving medicine, or even seeing the patient. The old fanner had followed directions, and was in today to have his son cured, and, incldently, to be cured of the tobacco habit himself. He doubteless ehelled out considerable hard-earned cash and went away with a parcel of silly and foolish directions, as idiotic as the red flannel fake. This man, who cracks himself up to be such a modern miracle worker, has been Imposing on this community long enough, and It Is high time people were made conversant with his methods. He claims to cure the tobacco and liquor habits without medicine, and he charges $23 a "cure." He also treats fits and all the other ills the flesh is heir to. He claims to be treating three Crawfordsville doctors for the liquor habit, and one doctor's wife for fits. Tills is a pretty racy commentary on Crawfordsville's medical fraternity.
