Frankfort, Ind., July 20.--When Jasper Hill, after several years' ab
sence from the city, returned and in
troduced a comely-looking woman as
his wife, with the remark that he had
settled down and was leading an uplife, there was a murmur of sur
prise and approval. The life of Jasper Hill, more than that of any other man
that ever lived in the city, reads like a romance, and few men in the state have taken part in as many escapades as he. A perfect athlete and without
fear, he was known and feared all over the county, and he was constantly at
war with the authorities. How He Got Out of Jail.
Once while serving a jail sentence
here he was visited by some of the wo
men of the family and he changed clothing with them and walked out of the jail door, past Sheriff Hill, and
made his escape. He was free for
several weeks before being recaptured.
A few years ago, in company with his brothers, he was at work near Browns
Valley, when the Hill boys became en
gaged in a pitched battle with the citi
zens of the town, a number of shots
being fired by both sides. Both Got Prison Sentences.
The brothers were hunted with bloodhounds. Jasper was arrested by
the marshal of Crawfordsville at the point of a pistol, the officer catching
him while he was sleeping on the
ground. For his part in this affai
Jasper was sent to prison at Michi
an city, while his brother went to
jail at Crawfordsville. Jasper was
taken to prison in irons.
Gets a Parole and Goes West.
He had an ex-banker for a cell-mate,
and the banker, taking a fancy to him
agreed to send him to the state of Washington to manage his ranch in
the event the prison board would grant
a parole to him. D. A. Coulter, of
this city, a member of the board, wa
instrumental in obtaining for him
parole, and Hill went west. He made
a report to the prison officials each month and a year ago he was disKnew What She Was Getting. The woman of his choice, though knowing his past history, was married to him and she says she is proud of him. She owns 800 acres of land in Washington, has a large general store and is well off in this world's goods. Hill's trip here at this time is for the purpose of taking his aged mother home with him, where she will pass the remainder of her days in peace and comfort.

New Jersey Senator Does Not Look at
Insurance Matters in the Popular Way. Newark, N. J., July 20.--United
States Senator Dryden, president of the Prudential Insurance company was
a witness before the state insurance nvestigating committee. He was ques
tioned regarding his salary, $65,000 a
year, and asked if he did not think that
his and other large salaries paid offiof the company tended toward
extravagance. His reply was: "Abili
ty commands price and every big en
terprise in the country is looking for
men who can achieve." He said that
the Prudential company had contrib$6,000 to the Republican national
committee in 1896 and in 1900 had
contributed $10,000 and that the larger
amount was donated again in 1904.
"Senator, do you think it was right
to give the policyholders' money away
for campaign purposes?" asked State
Senator Minturn. "The policyholders never had one cent of interest in that money. It belonged to the sharehold
ers," replied the witness. "The man agement of the company is charged
with the responsibility of the company,
and if in the judgment of the directors conditions are likely to be brought about that would tend to destroy the company's assets, or impair them, it is
the duty of the management to pro tect it."

IN THE KENTUCKY WAY
Men Assassinated on a Lonely MounRoad as the Resumption of a Feud. Lexington, Ky., July 20.--A dispatch received here from Sergeant, Ky., states that John Thornberry and Richard Hall, leaders of the Hall faction of mountain feudists, were shot from amin Floyd county and killed. The men were riding along a lonely mounroad when a volley of Winchester rifle bullets was poured at them from the mountain side. Their murderers escaped into the mountains.

Recently Thornberry married into the
Hall family, and his clansmen had sworn revenge, alleging that he had betrayed them. Members of both facare arming themselves and an outbreak of feud war is feared. Each side numbers forty men.
JUST WEATHER. Sing a song of weather--Often a misfit. Taken altogether, There's a lot of it Runs the gantlet, truly, When it is on deck, And poor mortals duly Get it in the neck. In the summer season Roasts us to a turn, Thinks for some strange reason We were made to burn; Puts us on the griddle Like a slice of game And proceeds to fiddle While we feed the flame. In the winter section Of the blooming year Always makes connection With a toe or ear. Biting every member In a way that stings That we may remember It is running things. Always coax a fellow, We have understood, From his umbrella When you look so good; Then you start to thunder, Handing him your worst; Tries to duck from under, But you get there first. Couldn't do without you. Nor would we desire, For there is about you Something to admire. Have to grin and bear it, For it's just your ways, But you try to square it With some heavenly days.

Seemed That Way.
REAPPEARANCE OF SCHLATTER
Reports a Peasant Uprising. Moscow, July 20.--A landlord, fleefrom Bobrov, in the province of Voronezh, where a peasant uprising has taken place, has arrived here and gives a frightful picture of the devasta
tion. He describes the losses n the provinces as colossal. The troops are powerless to cope with the peasants, who are marching in large bands, depractically everything. Not more than one-tenth of the estates are spared. Another Trust Is "Busted." Jamestown, N, Y., July 20.--The Sewer Pipe Trade association, familiarknown as the "sewer pipe trust," practically entered a plea of guilty to the charges of a secret contract to limthe production and control the terand prices of sewer pipe before the federal grand jury in this city, and will dissolve and go out of business.
"What is his business?" "He is an insulting engineer." You mean a consulting engineer." "Possibly, but I just went inside and politely asked him to buy a book, and he ordered a husky attendant to throw me out."
His Wife's Hat
One of the stock jokes with which
man--the mean, horrid thing--amuses himself is in sighing because he cannot
buy a farm and an automobile on ac
count of the expense he is put to buy ing his wife new hats.
To hear him delivering his favorite
free lecture on this subject one might
think that he made a practice of buy
ing a flower garden lid for his better half once a week and maybe once a day during the rush season. That, dear unmarried feminine readers, is about as far from the truth as John L. Sulliis from the presidency. The average man is doing mighty well if he buys his spouse a bit of milevery two years. The rest of the time she fixes the old one over, and he raves over it and pronounces it betthan new. That is because he is a foxy gentleman, but he doesn't fool the neighbors or his wife's relations.

Alleged Dowie Healer Who Created a Furor at Denver Years Ago Is
with the Spiritualiats, Anderson, Ind., July 20.--Francis Schlatter, who attracted considerable attention as a "divine healer" at DenColo., and other places several years ago, is among the new arrivals at the Chesterfield camp of the IndiAssociation of Spiritualists. Schlatappearance in camp was unexpected. He said he had stopped at the
camp for a few days' rest while passthrough Indiana. The "divine healer" said he had been resting in sefor eighteen months and had decided to renew his practice of healHe offered to give a demonstration of his alleged healing powers in camp, and he may be permitted to do so next Sunday. Schlatter no longer wears his hair long nor clothes himself with a mantle, as he did during his career in Denver, and his general appearance at this time does not differ much from
the average man of his age in manner
or dress. Schlatter does not say where he lives or has his headquarters since coming from his retreat.
Damage Done Is Not Great. Santa Fe, N. M., July 20.--Mayor Bursum, of Socorro, N. M., says that the stories of great damage by the earthquakes at Socorro are false; that but few houses are injured and none seriously. The people are badly frighthowever, by the frequency of the shocks. Russian Thug Continues Busy.
