The annual all-day May basket meeting of the Elkhorn church took place vesterdav. The day was fine
and the members thoroughly enjoyed the outing. Miss Elizabeth Middleton entertained the Senior class of Earlham college Saturday evening at her home in West Richmond. About forty members of the class -were present and spent a most delightful social - evening. Luncheon was served. The rooms were prettily decorated and presented a handsome appearance. h Tiev. S. S. Myrick delivered an address at the South Eighth street open meeting Saturday evening on "Some Places of Worship in the Orient." lie told of the many various shrines and temples of all religions which abound in the far east, and his talk was extremely interesting. Mrs. Clarence Hadley entertained the members of the church and their
Eruptio.
The May meeting of the Wayne
County Historical Society .t Cambridge City Saturday afternoon was one of the best attended meetings of
the Society in recent years. The society was favored with music from the pupils of the Cambridge City public schools, under the direction of
Prof. J. T. Reece.
After the reading of the minutes of
the Febraary meeting a letter addressed to Joseph Ratliff from Isaac Julian, San Marcos, Texas, was read, offering to donate to the society a number of mementoes of Wayne
county, chief of which was a portrait
of Jacob Julian, painted by Marcus
Mote. These mementoes the society
voted to' accept on motion of Prof. Ault, and that a vote of thanks be extended to the donor.
Prof. Lee Ault from the committee apointed at a former meeting to consider the question of marking the
site of Salisbury, the first county seat, reported that the committee had
agreed to ask the county commission
ers and council for a donation for
that purpose and that they had been eneouragred in this work. Great in
terest was manifested by the memb
ers of the society in the work of
marking historic spots.
Joseph Ratliff, the curator, in his quarterly report, emphasized the need
of more room in which to store the relies, books, papers, etc., donated to the society. He reported the follow
ing gifts: : A large steel wolf trap, presented by John W. Foulke; The American Historical Review, Statutes and Ordinances of the City of Richmond; Bound volume of Niles' Weekly Register for September, 1824, to March 1825.; large mounted streel engraving of Gov. O. P. Morton; mounted lithograph of the ex-governors of Indiana; a number of old books, among them Conley's spelling book, published in 1825; The Palladium for 1841-3; almanacs for 1809, 1810, 1822, 1827, 1828, 1832, 1834, 1830. The above books, pictures and papers are donated from the estate of the
late James E. Reeves.
Mr. Ratliff further reported that Isaac Dougan has a box of books for the society as soon as a place can be found for them. Mrs. Austin reported the gift of souvenirs from Mrs. Ben Custer of Centerville, including a picture of a White House reception. Mrs. Austin further reported the gift of a fine book case by Miss Mattie Peelle, of Centerville. This had been the property of Judge Peelle. The society then listened to an able and eloquent paper on "The Whisky Frauds of 1876" by Dr. J. W. Jay of Richmond. As this paper appeared in the Richmond city papers Saturday, a summary of it need not here be given, suffice it to say that it will r-epay careful reading. In the absence of W. S. Commons

The Time Various Strongholds .Defied the Attacking; Force. In spite of the shells rained by the Japanese upon Port Arthur, that stronghold, army officers at Washington believe, will be able to stand, even without relief, for a number of months to come.' In substantiation of such a conclusion they point to precedents. For instance, it took 132 days for the Qermans to bring Paris to her knees a generation ago. During January, 1871, no fewer than, 10.000 shells were rained on to the doomed town every day, and of these 500 fell into the city proper. For ninety-four days Plevna defied the pick of the Russian army, although its defenders were hopelessly outnum
bered, and on Dec. 10, 1877, after the last grain of rye had been eaten, the indomitable Turks sallied forth and tried to hew their way through the Russian legions, but were compelled to surrender. . Khartum withstood the Mahdi and his hosts for 341 days under the brave direction of Gordon, and in Kars General Williams, with 15,000 men, with provisions for three months and ammunition for three days, kept an investing army of 50,000 at bay from June to November. Richmond was defended by General Lee through a year of terrible fighting until the seizure of his lines of supply compelled him to evacuate it on April 2, 1SG5; Lucknow held out for eightysix days, when General Havelock went to its relief, and Strassburg, with all its strength, defended by a garrison of 17,000 men, had to surrender to the Germans after a siege of forty-eight days. Among the other notable sieges Mafeking survived seven months, Kimberley 123 days, Ladysmith 118, Potchefstroom 94, Metz 72, Gaeta 77 and Chi-
tral fort 40 days. Exchange.

Traction line news is always interesting, and Hie following from the Hollandsburg Independent will be read with a relish: Right of way has now been secured for about all of the distance between
! Hollandsburg and Greenville for the
I traction line. Most of it is thirty I feet, as that is the narrowest space
on which it is possible to build a railroad, allowing for cuts, fills, sidings and curves. This right of way has with one or two exceptions, been freely given. Oar people are rallying to the support of this project with great - enthusiasm. As it is in the hands of practical railroad men and properly backed, we can confidently expect results. Surveyors will be put to work next week between Baker's Store and Hollandsburg via Palestine and Tampico. It is the present intention of the promoter to run the line directly south from Bethel through Whitewater and Middleboro to Richmond, unless some serious engineering difficulties require a devia
tion from this route. The promoter! of Centerville, Mr. B. F. Wissler of
Irrigating Rice Fields In Texas. Because water refuses to run up hill and because his rice fields happen to be on a somewhat elevated portion of ground many an ingenious planter in Texas has been obliged to resort to an elaborate device for the proper irrigation of them. On a slight elevation at the back of the fields one planter has instituted what people in that vicinity style "an impromptu fountain." In reality it -is nothing but a three inch iron pipe, protruding from the ground. When the rice fields need it the pipe is opened, huge pumps started and the water bubbles up, to flow away in hundreds of tiny rivulets and streams, which flood the thirsty rice fields. Aside from its benefits from the agricultural point of view, this obliging fountain presents a pretty spectacle when iu operation. New York Tribune.

The Sun-Telegram read a paper of
great interest and value on the life
of Patrick Beard, a member of the
first constitutional convention of Indiann, from Wayne county, whom Mr. Wissler pronounced a statesman of ability and whose last resting
place and services to the public
should be commemorated by an ap4
propria te tablet. An important feature of the paprr was a skc-rch of the
Scotch-Irish of North Carolina and of the conditions leading to such a strong character as Patrick Beard. It
was by this people that was framed the first Declaration of Independ
ence in America, the Mecklenburg Declaration. In the Indiana legisla
ture Patrick Beard was chairman of the committee which drafted the bill providing for the common school system of Indiana. This Mr. Wissler considered honor enough for any man. The wish was expressed by some of the members that Mr. Wissler continue his investigation into the life of Wayne county's first statesmen and legislators and to read thf same at one of next year's meetings. After the announcement by Prof Hodgin of the Fountain City meeting August 27th, which is to consist of an exhibit of pioneer industries
Catarrh Cannot be Cured. with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was pre
scribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the.-mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. S end for testimonials free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Props, Toledo, 0.
