BRAVE OLD OAK DOWN

Tree That Was Historic Hat Been Felled Because It Wae a Peril. OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD Had Sheltered Gen. Wm. H. Harrison —Mayor Who Opposes “Gov. Manly’s Blue Laws.” Lafayette, Ind., Feb. B.—Lafayette’s famous “Big Tree,” one of the oldest and best-known landmarks In the county. is no more. The giant oak, under whose branches General William Henry Harrison slept while on his way to the battle of Tippecanoe, has been cut down, because the topmost boughs were continually falling off and menacing life and proeprty. The tree, which is supposed to be more than 200 years old. fully that number of rings of growth having been counted in a croessection of the monster trunk, stood directly in the middle of the Riverside road, midway between the city and Tecumseh trail and the State Soldiers’ Home.

Great Tree for Spooners. When the road was built in 1872 the tree’s history saved it from destruction, and the highway went around it on each side to prevent it being cut down. In years past there was a dense forest in the region of the tree, but civilization has made such inroads on the native woods that but few trees remain there, and the “Big Tree” towered far above all the rest. The tree for years has been known as a trysting place, and scores of lovers have plighted their troth beneath its branches. Hundreds of travelers have stopped to rest in its shade, and visitors to the city have been taken to the tree, which has long been regarded as one of the points of interest in the county. It stood 115 feet high, and on its scarred trunk could be seen traces of record-breaking high-water marks, the Wabash river running only a few feet away. Was an Ancient Landmark. The trunk was covered with hundreds of signs and posters, and the nails driven into it were largely responsible for its decay. For years the children of Lafayette have talked of the “Big Tree,” and used it to denote direction. It is supposed to have marked the site of an old Indian village, as many arrow heads and other aboriginal weapons have been dug up near it. The Indian chief Tecumseh is said to have stood beside the tree and delivered addresses to his braves and held numerous council fires beside it.

“GOV. HANLY’S BLUE LAWS’’ Mayor So Calls the Statutes the Governor Is Trying to Have Enforced. Richmond, Ind., Feb. 8.

New Albany, Ind., Feb. 8. Shortly before the death of George H. Buss, a farmer near Galena, this county, which occurred at his home, the marriage of his daughter, Miss Edith Buss, to Edward Madlung took place in the presence of the father, who was then in a dying condition.

W. C. T. U. IS NOT ACTING

Considers It None of Its Business Whether There Is Wine at the White House Wedding. Lockport, N. Y., Feb. 9.—“ Whether or not wine is served at the wedding breakfast of Alice Roosevelt Is none of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union's business,” declared Frances W. Graham, of this city, president of the state W. C. T. U. “Yes. I know that some western branches of the union have protested against wine at the wedding of President Roosevelt’s daughter, but I assure you that such actiou wns not sanctioned by the state or national organization. “So far as I know none of the New York state unions is contemplating such a protest. It would not be countenanced at all. The majority of the unions in the country- realize the impropriety of such action.”
