Reply to the Charge" Made by Girls of the Town. Logansport, Ind., August 26. "Why should we spend money on the girls?" say the Logansport boys. "Isn't this leap year?" Their take their position against the public charge made by Logansport girls that they are penurious in their courting and announce a compact setting forth their intentions and signed by over thirty boys in "round robbin" fashion, pledging themselves to abstain from expending a. cent on their favorite young women until January 1, 1005. The document sets forth that this is leap year, therefore the complaint published challenging their ..liberality is uncalled for and that the hospitalJT ity should come for the remainedr of this year from the young women. The signers pledge themselves to stag theater parties exclusively unless' the younsr women buy the tickets; to abstain from gifts, even at Christmas; to take no buggy rides that involve financial obligation to liverymen. They will continue to escort their favorite young women as long as the girls will stand for this kind of a courtship. "The girls bade us get busy. We have done so," concluded the retalia- ' tory message. For obvious reasons the signers of the compact agree to keep secret the p names of other signers.

Fellows was locking and unlocking switches and when the last of the work was done, and the train pulled out- southward, Fellows swung for a car. In some way he missed his hold arid fell to the ground, striking his head a severe blow and getting bruised up considerably. It is not thought that the train ran over any part of his body and the bruises and cuts-received f rora-the fall seem- to be the most severe' injuries.

Exposition at St. Louis, Mr. ! Thomas R. McMechen, arrived in the city this morning. His special mission is to work up an interest here and throughout the State in "Indiana Week," scheduled to open at the Exposition September 1. It has been intended to have but a single "Indiana Day," but as there was no other State day to be set aside that week it was decided to appropriate the entire week to the honor of this State. "It chances," said Mr. Mechen, "that during Indiana Week some of the greatest events of the entire Exposition will occur. For instance, during that week only will be held the Olympian Games and the horse show. The former will include the twenty-five-mile, across-country run, in whieh famous sprinters from Greece, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, France, England and Ireland, with fifty American Indians, will compete, and which will starts and finish in the Stadium. The horse shoAv will include exhibits of about 2,000 of the finest types of horses from almost every great horse producing country in the world. During Indiana Week, one day of which is to'- be Indianapolis Day, there will be two grand pyrotechnic exhibitions, in which the portraits of prominent Indiana men will be shown in colorings of fire. The music this week will be rendered by the famous Guarde Republican Band of Paris, the great band of the British Genadier Guards and the na tional band from the City of Mexico. Tt will be one of the splendid Aveeks of the Exposition and Ave feel that Indiana people will assist in making every day of the Aveek a superb success. Mr. McMechen called upon Mayor Zimmerman this morning and formally extended an invitation to our citizens. Mayor Zimmerman 'will likely call a meeting of citizens to take action on the invitation.
