AN EARLY DROUTH

The First Record For Indiana Was in 1764 When Streams Went Dry. It is interesting to know that the drouth of this season in Indiana had a precedent as early as 17G4, just affer the close of the French and Indian war and while the Indian tribes were engaged in their memorable rebellion under Pontiac. Francis Paikman, the historian, relates that when a messenger was sent by the British commander at Detroit, then recently wrested f rom thcFrench, to communicate with Pontiac, encamped on the Maumee, a short distance below where Ft. Wayne is now situated, the waters of the Maumee river were so low by reason of extreme drouth that the British messenger and his attendants were compelled to drag their canons over rocks and sandbars a good part of the distance from the mouth of the Maumee, near the present site, of Toledo, to the head waters of the stream, near Ft. Wayne. He also states that the same autumn a detachment of British soldiers could not ascend the Sandusky river in canoes, by reason of great drouth and low water, when they contemplated subduing the hostile Shawnees in the Scioto vallev'. Here is a record of a widespread drouth, while the for est and prairie were yet primeval, and before the coming of the white settler with those modern drouth-makers, the ax and the drain tile. The story of Angus Corbly's cap tivity, now running inour columns, rrivnc nn mithpntii nrrvMint rif rnlrl winter in the same vicinity and the experiences of a band of Indian hunters in the country about Ft. Wayne during thaf winter, with descriptions of their methods of hunting and camp ing and of the kinds of game found in northern Indiana at the time it first became known to white men. The account of the village of Kikeonga, now Ft. Wayne, in the storv referred tOj was written after an examination of copies of letters and reports written there at the time. ACCIDENT AT THE LAKE Prominent Man cf Huntington Burned by Blazing Gasoline. Councilman I). C. Anderson, of Huntington, who is temporarily at Lake Maxinkuckce, running a summer hotel, was badly burned at the lake. A gasoline stove exploded, and Anderson rushed into the room where the fire was blazing and threw a large gasoline tank out of the window, thereby preventing an 'explosion which would have destroyed the building. The Harnes in the room burned him very severely about the feet, legs, arms and face, and his coddition is said to be serious. One Reason Why Life Insurance is High. The proposal to increase the salary of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance Co., $25,000 a year will be acted on at the next meeting of the directors, and there is scarcely a doubt that the advance will be made, says the New York Press. Mr. McCall first received $50,000 and then $65,000, his present pay. An additional $25,000 will bring him in $90,000 a year and put him nearly in the class of Messrs, McCurdy and Alexander. The former receives annually from the Mutual Life Company $100,000 and a perquisite of $25,000. James W. Alexander's arrangement with the Equitable Life Co., is highiy agreeable to him. His salary is $100,000 a year, and in addition he receives 1 per cent of all tb. business written. His income is never less than $150,000. A Chicago Possibility. -Plans for a central railroad station at Chicago, estimated to cost $40,000,000, are being prepared to submit at a meeting of railway officials to be held Aug. 15. Eighteen of the twenty-two railroad companies with Chicago terminals have approved the scheme as drawn by Alderman Dixon, and members of the council committee appointed to investigate" the question of a single terminal believe the plan can be carried to a successful conclusion. The Illinois Central, the Northwestern, the Pennsylvania and the Great Western Railways arc the only ones which have' thus far not given their approval. A Disclaimer. George T. Edmunds, of Plymouth, has located his daughter, Sadie, who nine, years ago, then 18, disappeared from her home in Alpena, Mich. It was thought she had been drowned or murdered by a jealous lover. Numerous Exchanges. We aro' strictly up-to-date but we have no George T. Edmunds wno has lost and found a daughter. The foregoing item, which is in nearly every northern Indiana paper in some form, refers to Plymouth, Pa. The unprecedented, successful results accomplished by Rocky Mountain Tea is due to the fact that it never faila to cure them that UE3 it this month. 35. J.W. Hes3.

BRICK HAS ARRIVED

The Marble residence on South Michigan street, which has been taken by II. J. MacNair, the Pennsylvania civil engineer, -is for a time the headquarters of a sort of an engineering school. Mr. MacNair has with him half a dozen young men, students of railroad engineering, who are engaged in studying the methods of railway .construction on the improvements now in progress in this vicinity. They are a jolly lot of young . fellows and their college songs on the large veranda in the evening furnish the neighborhood much entertainment. The boys are hard workers and have to get a very early start in the morning, so they will not participate in the social life of the city during their stay here. They will, in addition to their railroad work, take an interest in the street improvements under way in Plymouth. THREE RIBS BROKEN Misadventure of George Long While Helping a Neighbor Thresh. Last "Wedncday afternoon Geo.Long, living three miles east of the city, met with what, might have been a very serious accident. He was helping a neighbor thresh and while waiting his turn to take his place at the machine with a load of sheaves he lay down under his wagon to rest in the shade. The team became frightened at the ehgine and started to run away. Mr. Long was caught by one of the wheels of the loaded wagon, which passed over his breast, and three ribs were fractured and severe bruises were inflicted. Dr. Stephens was summoned and the injured man was taken home, where he is getting along nicely and will soon recover. Look Out for Fakers.
