f'ar>nern’ Institute. At a preliminary meeting held at the Makeever house Saturday. Sept. 14. it was decided to hold institute meetings at Union school house, Jordan township, Thursday. Sept. 26, and at Center school house, Gillam township, Friday, Sept. 27. These meetings are being held preparatory to the regular annual meeting, which will be held later on. The agricultural station at Perdue has general supervision of all farmers’ institutes and will furnish speakers who are thoroughly competent to give instruction in farming, and if there is any prejudice against farmers' institutes in Jasper county it ought to be dispelled at once. The facts are that the station is run on the most economical plan, and wholly devoted to the agricultural and mechanical interests of the state, and it is the only school in the state where the young men of the state are taught farming. It is hoped the good people of Jasper will make these county institutes grand successes. L, Strong. President. Acute Kleptomania. "When I was in India,” said the man who had traveled, “ the native thieves stole the sheets from under me while I slept, and I never knew it!” “Yes, and when I was in the Northwest during the boom," said the man who will never admit that America can be outdone, “I had to sleep in a room where there were four real estate agents and one of them stole a porous plaster from my back without awakening me.”

First Doctor—The patient recovered. ’Tls greatly wise to talk with our past hours. And ask them what report they bore to heaven. —Young.

THE BOARDING HOUSE BEDBUG

B. Y. GCKSS. I am sitting up late to night Dreading this—another fight— With the stinking bug that crawls Up and down the fly-specked walls; Up and down and ail around Bedbugs creep without a sound. And elevates with stealthy tread His slimy form above my head. Off he jumps with aim so true And drives his bill completely through My ugly brown and freckled hide And clinches it on the other --ide. But now I guess I’ll have to go Where bedbugs creep on sheets like snow; And if they make of me a wreck I’ll poke strychnine down their neck But I will give them half a show I’ll let them bite and let them zo. If they will only cease to creep Over my person and let me sleep.

.4 Great Number. The Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for October is an exceptionally beautiful number pictorially. without any sacrifice of that quality of timeliness which makes it unique amongst illustrated magazines. The opening article is an idyllic description, by Mrs. Leicester-Addis, of a summer holiday visit to old England's loveliest county, Surrey, with a description of the stately manor of Deepdene. upon which the present American Duchess of Marlborough has spent large sums of money to good purpose. Apropos of this year's tercentennial Tasso celebration, there is a sympathetic and elaborately illustrated paper on “The Last Days of Torquato Tasso,’’ by Marie Walsh. Another Italian contribution of rare artistic interest is Miss E. C. Vansittart’s description of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, to which are appended some “Souvenirs of Siena," by the late John Addington Symonds. Other picturesque features are: “Women as Athletes.” by IV. de Wagstaffe; “Burmese Women," by H. Fielding; “Ligot-Givers,” by Mary Titcomb; “Town and Cloth Halls of Flanders/’ by Alexander Ansted; “Widowed Sovereigns,” by A. Oakey Hall; and “Alpine Soldiers.” by Henry Tyrrell. Th’S number also contains some unusually interesting and wellwritten short stories and poems.

Kni/ihtH of the flaccnbeeH. The State Commander writes us from Lincoln, Neb., as follows: “After trying other medicines for what seemed to me a very obstinate cough in our two children we tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and at the end of two days the cough entirely left them. We will not be without it hereafter, as our experience proves that it cures where all other remedies fail.’’—Signed F. W. Stevens, State Com. —Why not give this great medicine a trial, as it is guaranteed and trial bottles are free at F. B. Meyer’s drug store. Regular size 50c and sl. Hooniern in fine. A people s party conference was held at Indianapolis last week and the following address was issued: “We the populists of Indiana, in convention assembled. favor lighting the battle of 1896 on the fundamental principles of the Oaraha platform. “We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. “We demand that the issuance of full legal tender treasury notes be speedily increased to not less than SSO per capita. “We demand a graduated income tax. We oppose the issuance of bonds and bank currency. “We are unalterably opposed to increasing our already great burden of national debt by the issue of interest bearing bonds in times of peace and we deplore and condemn the recent action of the present administration at Washington, aided and abetted by the republican party, not only for selling our national credit at a price below its market value, but especially for surrendering to the Rothschilds and other bankers our financial independence for six months bv a secret contract, the infamy of which is without parallel in our history. “That we demand the initiative and referendum in all important matters of municipal and state legislation.” “That we denounce the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in reference to the income tax law and the imprisonment of American citizens without trial by jury,” “On these cardinal principles of our party we invite the cooperation of all persons and organized bodies believing in the principles herein set forth to join us in the campaign of 1896.” A plan of organization was agreed on by which state and district organizations will act under authority from the state committee.

VICTORY IN SIGHT.

GLOWING REPORTS OF CUBAN SUCCESS. SlMQlth Form Rooted In a Pitched Battle and Lose Three Hundred Men — Insurgents are Now Within Seventyfive Miles of the Citv of Havana. New York. Sept. 24. —News of a battle, in which the Spanish were defeated by the Cubans and lost 300 men, was received yesterday by President Palma. It came in a letter written Sept. 14 by Pedro Rovira, a Spanish private who deserted to the Cuban ranks at Pera Lego when Campos was defeated. In a later engagement Rovira was captured by the Spanish, court-mar-tialed and sentenced to receive 400 lashes and to be shot. T¥e sentence was carried out while Rovir* was shouting for Cuban liberty. The Spaniar..ls were greatly incensed against him. as he had killed three of their men bel'ore being captured. The letter says that all Santiago, where the execution took place, was incensed against the Spaniards, and then goes on to describe the hardfought battle: “A man who was sick in a hospital at Casimbra escaped to Guantanin in August, and told the Spaniards that Gen. Jose Maceo was sick in the C:>simbra hospital and had only thirty men with him. On Aug. 3) Maceo heard th t 1,200 men. one battalion corps anti a squadron of cavalry with two pieces cf artillery were marching on him. Maim mounted his horse and from the mountains of Santa Maria viewed the enemy’s position. He ordered eight cf his men to keep up firing from ambuses to deceive the Spanish, and meanwhim had word sent to his brother, Gen. Antonio Maceo.

“On Aug. 31, the Spaniards captured Francis, and Gen. Jose Maceo fortified his few men in a plantation house near , the hospital. He wished to guard the right side of the road leading to Bae- ' calano. which skirted the hospital. The Spanish were slowlj- closing in on him when Gen. Cebreco and a Cuban column came to his relief and made the enemy evacuate their position. “A hot engagement followed, in which the Spanish regained their position, | but were unable to hold it long, as 1 General Antonio Maceo suddenly appeared on the scene, and, with Cebreco and Colonel Mieuninit, succeeded in wresting it from Canalle and Garrilo, who commanded the Spanish. The Spanish now made a brilliant charge and for the third time managed to secure the position, but in the engagement the Spanish captain of artillery was mortally wounded, and they slowly withdrew, the Cubans fighting them back.” This battle lasted from 5 o’clock a. m. to 1 o’clock p. m. It was resumed in the early afternoon, however, and is described as follows: General Antonio Maceo cleverly turned the Spanish column and gained the pass of Baccano. He then massed his troops before the Spanish vanguard, while General Jose Maceo got the men in the rear. A very desperate encounter ensued. It raged until 9 o’clock at nigh-, when it was discontinued until th? dawn of the next day—September 1. The Spanish then commenced the retreat until they reached the Igubanabano field, where they were able to use their cavalry, which was impossible on the mountains of Santa Maria. They did not gain any advantage, howex er, and after burning their provisions they continued to retreat to Mountanin, which place they entered in scattered groups.” The Cubans had no cavalry, but made effective use of dynamite bombs, which the letter says, struck terror to the enemy. In the engagement the Cubans’ loss was forty men wounded and killed. The Spaniards lost over 300 men, forty horses and a large store of provisions and munitions of war. The Cubans are still capturing stragglers and picking up arms near Mountanin. Spaniards are deserting every day and joining the Cubans. The Spaniards, after the battle, sent a cable to Spain headed, “The Defeat and Capture of Jose Maceo,” and also asked for the reward offered and the advancement of the officers in the engagement.

victory in sight. Cuban Revolutionists Threaten the City of Havana. Chicago, Sept. 24.—Dispatches from Havana to the Chicago Tribune say: Armed parties of revolutionists are already in the province of Matanzas and actually within seventy-five miles of the city of Havana. The west end of the iland will soon be the scene of an uprising. When this fact develops the formidable nature of the revolution will become apparent. With armed forces on both sides of Havana it would require not 80,000 but 500,000 Spanish troops to keep the revolutionists in check. Martinez Campos is at once hiding the truth of defeat and disaster and creating a belief in the immense power of his troops. Too much truth leaked out when he was so badly defeated at Peralejo and retreated to Bayamo. For ten days the publication of wer news was forbidden, and then allowed only under military censorship. Under censorship that action is now counted as a glorious Spanish victory. The fact is positive that ne came within an ace of being captured. Official accounts give his force at 1,500 and the insurgents at 5,000, but credible reports say the rebels had only 850. It is safe to say that the rebels have 25,000 men under arms at the present time, and their forces are growing daily.
