They “Belled” "Em Just the Same. David C. Miller and Mrs. Anna Hoke, of Union township, whose combined ages reach the modest sum of 144 years, were recently married. They are now on their ‘‘bridal tour’’ in Ohio. The marriage in question seems to have furnished for the ‘‘boys’’ of the neighborhood one of those old-time ‘‘bellings.”” The groom, whose hairs had been touched by 77 summers and as many winters, supposed that he had lost none of his cunning. He and his bride, though married on Monday, made up that each would remain at their respective homes until Thursday. when they would join each other in a trip to Ohio. This plan was to be carried out so as to beat the neighbors out of an intended ‘‘belling.’’ In the meanwhile, the aged groom dropped a word here and there that there was a couple of sly old foxes in the neighborhood who needed watching or they would “‘get it onto the boys.”’ He finally confided in a neighbor; telling of his marriage, and asked the assistance of him in getting the fellows together to *‘bell’’ him on Thursday night—the time when he and his bride of 67 summers, more or less, would be on their way to Ohio. The neighbor—who had, once upon a time, to ‘‘set 'em up’’ on a like occasion, probably—at once assented to work up the joke. Somehow, and unfortunately for the ‘‘sly old foxes, '’ the crowd gathered on Wednesday night at the home of the groom. He was at ‘home. One of them went after the bride, teliing her, for a ruse, that her worthy neighbor, Mr. Miller, had been badly kicked by a horse That was enough. The lady hardly waited to get her clothes on before setting out. She arrived at the house, and the “gang” made a break for them. The reader can comprehend the rest; the neighborhood was there, relatives and all, and they had the “*proper caper’’ with them —asold time ‘*bellings” go. The crowd was armed with everything from a tin whistle to a buzz saw, that made enough discord to put a set of false teeth on edge. The old gentleman finally ac knowledged he was in for It, and paid the crowd off with $5 to ¢‘stand treat.” An account of this will probably appear in the Gospel Messenger.—Nappanee News. _ o Attractions at Indianapolis, The enterprising citizens of Indianapolis have at a great cost, arranged to present the Pain’s New Spectacle, “The Last Days of Pompeii,”’ in Indianapolis, September 17th to 22d. The production promises to eclipse &ny preyious open-air entertainment oftered in Indianapolis. The spectacular features alone embrace a reproduction of the ancient city immortalized by Lord Lytton in his famous novel, “The Last Days of Pompeil.’’ The magnificent temples, dwellings and bath houses are to be presented in all their grandeur on a monster stage 300 feet in length and 10,000 yards of scenery on iron, wood and canvass is to be used in this new spectacle. An artificial lake, 75 by 250 feet in length, will be filled with Pompeiian flotillag, and SCO performers, men, women and children will be engaged in the famous pageant, » This stupendous enterprise, while it wili amuse and instruct thousands, is necegsarily educational in its character. The student of history and seeker after biblical lore, those interested in the architecture of eighteen hundred years ago, and admirers of the early Roman gladiators and great Roman sports of the days of Pompeii, will find an -accurate reproduction of the buildings, the characters, the feasts, the martial drills, the grand chariot races, the pride and pomp ot Arpaces and his vast retinue, the realistic contests of Roman gladiators, the capture, sacrifice and escape of Christian martyrs, and all the incidents in the busy life of ancient Pompeii. On a vast stage on which will be enacted this open-air drama, ‘‘The Last Days of Pompeil,’”’ a magnificent portrayal of the ancient festival held annually in honor of the Goddess Isis in the once fair city, which is she chosen city of Pliny, rising on the gentle hills which reproduced Pompeii is built will be .seen in confused but picturesque grounds, the temple of Isis, the gladiator’s barrack, the Greek temple of Neptune, and towering far above all, the fearful mountain, still the admiration, but the secret terror of ‘all Europe—Sleeping Vesuvius. ~ One of the grandest scenes in this out-door presentation of ‘The Last Days of Pompeii,” will be the awe-in-spiring eruption of Vesuvius. The dead mountains will pour forth flames of cloud and smoke, floods of molten lava will pour over the historic city. terriffic earthquakes will shatter the vast temples and the magnificent dwellings, and the triumph of spectacular effect will be reached in a realistic -destruction of ancient. Pompeii, fully realizing Lord Lytton’s magnificent and graphic description of the appalling catastrophe. | Succeeding this portion of the entertainment, will come a feature sure to delight and instruct thousauds. A gorgeous display of wmrial and aquatic fire-works will be produced by Messrs. Pain & Sons, the leading pyrotechnists of the world, and nightly exhibitions will be given under the personal super-! vision of Henry J. Pain. In the amphitheater will be given an exhibition‘ of Graeco-Roman wrestling, tumbling, | vaulting, leaping, fencing and other athletic and acrobatic feats, including the world’s famous rope-walker, Jean Weitzman.

There is seating capacity for 10,000 people. The general admission will be 50 cents, reserved seats, 75 cents; box seats, $1; children 25 cents. The production will be given in Lincoln park, corner of 16th street and Central avenue.

A Big Fight Ahead. No end of litigation is growing out of the construction of the mammoth Eel river ditch, which runs along Eei river in' Whitley county, and which has been surveyed and assessments ordered.The ditch is thirty miles long, and much of the distanc: twenty-five feet wide and twelve feet deep. The estimated cost is $75,000. 1t would, if built, drain a large tract of marshy land, but the Whitley county farmers say the construction of it would bank rupt them. Several hundred of them are affected, and opposition has reached such a pitch that the case can only end in litigation. A large amount of money will be raised to employ counsel, and the anti-ditch contingent expect to fight the enterprise to the court of last resort. D

Irrigation of Lands.

H. E. Bucklen, the patent medicine man, railroad builder and capitalist, owns several farms near Elkhart, and on one of them he has experimented to determine the practicability of irrigation. and the results have been highly satisfactory. The season was well advanced when the work began and Mr. Bucklen is confident that had the system been completed earlier it would have paid for itself the first year in increased yield of corn. , A twenty-acre field was chosen for the experiment and the water was supplied by a large wind-mill .pump attached to a well. Two furrows were plowed at right angles in the highest portion of the field, and wherever a lateral was desired a simple break in the furrow, thrown out by a stick, or the hand, even, was all that was required. The soil "itself puddled the furrows and they carried the water in a satisfactory manner; much better, in fact, than was anticipated. A competent civil engineer was employed to fix the grades for the ditches, but other than this the labor was yery simple and easily done,. o

The whole cost of the experiment was less than $lOO, and all farmers who have seen Mr. Bucklen’s field and the result of the irrigation are enthusiastic in their commendation of the method Several prominent farmers, among them such men as Capt. O. T. Chamberlain, expect to adopt the same plan next year. In view of the regeated drouths, which seem 'to have ecome a fixture rather than the exception in this country, the subject of irrigation is a growing one and one which must command the attention of all engaged in farming pursuits. .

A «\"A"‘" . '-:)\«‘;4 : N e SN e e e HIS REQUEST., o A Circus Man Who Was Not Anxious For a ' Write Up. i ‘‘Ah, good morning!’’ said a brisk, natty little fellow, walking into the office of the Crosby County Clarion-and Farmers’ Vindicator and tripping lightly over a cuspidor. ‘‘l represent the Little Gem circus.”’ - o ‘“We have thrown off on circuses, " snapped the editor. ‘‘They’re grand concatenations’’—— - . o ¢‘We have not got a single concatenation. We don’t carry them any more: They are altogether too common. ' In fact, we are drawing our circus very mild this season.’’ _ . ‘“Why, haven’t you got 15,000 feet of venomous serpents?’’ i *‘Not a foot; not, even a dead garter in a bottle of alcohol. Boa constrictors and pythons are out of style.’' ““Don’t you advertise three miles of golden chariots, headed by 19 silver plated bands, a.steam calliope, a galaxy of Circassian beauties, 16 educated stallions, a bass drum with two heads, a dozen 81 ton elephants and 26 limber jointed acrobats on bicycles?’! ‘‘No, oh, no!”’ answered the advance agent, with a sickly smile hovering in the corners of his mouth. '“We drive in town with an old lumber wagon an a trotting sulky. Our elephant died 1 season of hay fever, and our $5 beaun eloped with one of the canvas men. We have gotsa pretty middling good snary drummer and a Bohemian with a harelip, who blows the fife. That is our band.’’ s “Of course you have the wonderful giganitc Bovolapus, which sweats blood and disembowels camelopards?’’ . ‘“Well, no. You see, our Bovolapus was ill last fall and was laid up in the hospital for six weeks. He finally escaped by chewing up the hospital steward, three guards and the physician on night watch. But he was never the same Bovolapus afterward. He drooped, pined away, and one morning we found him dead in the horse tent.’’ ““You don’t seem to have manydat: tractions, that’s a fact. Of course you have the wittiest clowns in the world?’’ ‘‘Clowns! Oh, no, sir; only one clown—a regular howling idiot. Some of his jokes are covered with cobwebs, and besides that he is blind in one eye, knee sprung in the left leg and dying with consumption. I hardly expect he will live to get here with the show. But it will be a small loss.’” o ““Of course you have three rings?’’ “‘On the contrary, we have only half a ring. We send the old plug of a pad horse half way around a ocircle, and there is a turntable at the end, like a single track car line. We.then head him the other way, build a fire under him, and he jogs back on a slow trot."”’ “I don’t see what you want with the assistance of an influential newspaper like ours,’’ said the editor. ‘‘¥Yeou do not geem to want to advertise anything, or rather you.do not appear to have anything to advertise. '’ - 2 ‘‘Advertise! Death on a cream horse! No!
