STATISTICS regarding the interest taken in Arbor Day are being compelled by the Agricultural Department. Circulars asking for information on this point have been sent out all over the country. Tree planting is muoh more important than most people suppose Every road and laue in Vigo county, for example, ought to have a row of trees on each side of it. After a while they would be living posts on whiohto string barb wira fencing. They would shade and beautify the roads, act as windbreaks, retain the earth's moisture and finally bo valuable, for timber#* ^IKm

.Let it not be said that the day "of miraolep is past. Jeff Davis is beginning to show some signs of sense. In a speech at a reception tendered him at Meridian, Miss., the other day he said: "The country is united now, and if the Union is ever to be broken let the other side break it. The truths we fight for shall not encourage you to ever fight again, but to keep your word in good or evil." This is the right sort of talk, Jefferson, old boy. Uniqp smashing is not a picnic. No 'section understands that better than- the South. It would' be a safe wager that the South would almost like to see some other section undertake to seoede in 'order that it might have the pleasure of assisting in whipping the secedors back into the Union. ——I——

ABASE FALSEHOOD. J:. The GAZEETE has had some trouble of late growing out of false items of news sent to it by several correspondents in the country and it ^as recently compelled to publicly caution its cor respondents against practicing suvh a deoeption on the newspaper and on the public?. The GAZETTE has eome valued correspondents throughout the county who do their work well and who would not stoop to the despicable work of spreading untruthful and very often damaging information. But there are a few exceptions.

It has only been within the last few weeks that some person who can lay no claim Either to decancy or self-respect sent this paper a communication from Rosedale, Parke county. The correispondence bore every external mark of genuineness and after receiving the customary editing for the paper was printed. The information alleged to be contained in the item was false in every particular and was a base and uuworthy attack upon an estimable family. Nothing of what was spoken of ever occurred.

Tbe item stated, in effect, that the son of a worthy and honored farmer was guilty of a criminal assault upon a little girl. Erery effort has been made to find out the guilty party,

the man

uscript contained his name but has been forgotten, so that be may receive his just desserts, but unfortunately the "copy" cannot be found, as the deception was not discovered soon enough to intercept it in the waste baskets.

THE GAZETTE is in receipt of a long letter without a signature from a colored man who argues that the Democrats are batter friends to hfs race than the Republicans whose friendship id based on the hope to contract the colored vote as in the past AJ the writer does not send his name the communication under be rule cannot be printed.

Andrew Carnegie Refuses to Contribute to the Jubilee Cdebration Fund. ',

The Iron-Mabter Writes a Letter That

Causes

a Sensation Among

Gotham Anglomaniaos.

%HW YORK, May 18.—Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire Ironmaster, who created a sensation among Gotham's1'ded Anglo-maniacs by bluntly refusing to contribute to the fund for the proposed oelebration of the queen's jubilee in this city. Mr. Carnegie is a Scotchman of world-wide reputation, and it was imagined by the managers of the jubilee business that a hint would induce him to manifest his "loyalty" by putting up liberally. So Mr. John Paton, banker, the treasurer of the fund, addressed a polite and flattering note to the rich Pittsburger, and looked forward with confidence to the receipt of an equally polite and flattering response. Mr. Paton was horrified, therefore, when he received the following, which he made public today:

BouoHUBok, Isle of Wight, May 5, 1887.—My Dear Sir: There are several good reaspns whv I cannot subscribe to or sympathize with the' proposed jubilee. 1.1 am an American citizen and very stanch republican-American, who rejects the monarchical idea JBS inconsistent with and insulting to his manhood. I should stultify myself were I to celebrate tbe reign of any hereditary ruler. "I was born as free as Caesar.'' 2. I am at a loss to see what naturalized American citizens have to do celebrating the reign of any sovereign monarch. If they are not loyal republicans and true to the land of their, adoption, it is open to them at all time to leave its shores and find homes elsewhere. 'The republic deserves to be served by citizens true to'the fundamental idea upon which her politioal institution are based. I infer that this view is shared by the most distinguished to those gentlemen of

New York who, like myself, were born tbe subject of monafchy, for I observe with satisfaction that your committee has been oompelkd to select a Canadian as president and also as chief orator— eminent aDd justly honored men, but still quite foreign to New York and to America. in conclusion, my dear Mr. Paton, if our fellow-ooRntrymen must celebrate something, let me suggest to them that the proper day for a political demonstration in New York-is the Fourth of July, and on that day let them pray that the day is not far distant when our less favofed countrymen at home shall share with us the blessings of institutions founded upon the political equality of the citizen—the day when hereditary privilege will be unknown, and when •'government of the people, by the people, and for the people" will be the watchword of English-speaking people throughout the world.

A Distressing Accident.

Says the Sullivan Democrat: One of the saddest accident we have been called on to record for many a day occurred last Saturday. A little child of Isaac Mattox, who lives a few miles northwest of Sullivan, was toddling about the yard, unnoticed by its mother and coming to a barrel which had been sunk in the ground for a slop tank and left uncovered, the baby tumbled in head foremost and drowned. When missed

was found, but too late to resuscitate it. It was a most distressing affair and all deeply sympatize with the heart-broken parents. The child was about 18 months old.

There are three blocks at the base, on one of which is the words of "Colfax" in raised letters. It represents faith, hope and charity. The cbief side of die exhibits a scriptural scene, representing Rebeccah at the well giving a drink to the servant of Isaac. This is in bronze medallion. The other sides are embellished with polished raised emblems of other branches of the order. From the die start three columns with a plinth. These represent the principles of the order: friendship, love and truth. The tops of the columns are ornamented and covered with.a cap, and on these rests a' heroic statue of Colfax. Including the bronze block on which the statue stands this is eight feet and four inches high, while the whole structure ie twenty feet high from the ground to the top of the figure, seven feet higher than the Morton monument. ,*,•

That Pimento Debate.

Editor /JAZKTTF.:—I observe in your issue of April 28th, over the signature of W. Mattox, what I suppose is intended as a public acceptance of five of the propositions for debate, substantially as I gave them in your paper of March 10th.

I am glad the Dr. has so readily agreed to so many points but his refusal to affirm Baptist succession was unlooked for. Our agreement was to discuss all the points of difference between our respective church organizations .and tbe claim put forth for an historic succession by the Baptists is one of those points, and a distinctive one, too.

To affirm that a church is a church of Christ by virtue of what it does, is peculiarly and dis'inguishably a charaoteristic of our teaching. This is not Baptist dootrine. But that the Baptist church has existed from the days of John the Baptist until, now, is Baptist teaching. And we do hope that after accepting, so squarely and fairly, the issues between us on the other points of difference, the Doctor will see the propriety of defending this peculiar and distinguishing trait of Baptist teaching.

We place our claim to be the church of Christ on the fact that we have reproduced the apostolio or New Test* ament practice. We do not claim historic succession. But our Baptist brethren do. They teach th&t no man has the right to administer the ordinances of the gospel except he be a Baptist and thev base this claim on a succession of ordinations in their church from the days cf Christ until now. Come, Doctor, we want this claim investigated. And since matters are so far advanced we refer him to Eld. W. B. F. Treat, of Martinsville, Ind., as our chosen representative and shall be glad to reoeive notice of his selection of a debater, so that the two thus chosen may agree upon the day.

Very Respectfully,

have used Allcock's Porous Plas-* ters for the last twenty years. They are truly a household remedy. If one of my children has a cold and wheezes, I put an Allcock's Porous Plaster on the chest and one betw'een tbe shoulder blades. If any of the children have croupy coughs, or coughs of any kind, I place the plaster close up around the throat the soothing effect is apparent almost always in two hours. If they have a disordered stomach, a Plaster placed just below the chest bones makes digestion perfect in half a day. If there is any looseness of the bowels, accompanied by coldness of the skin, two Allcock's Porous Plasters applied over the stomach oure in from two to five hours. I notice particularly that these Plasters never abrade the skin or cause the slightest irritation. From my own experiencf I know they never fail for rheumatism, pains in the back or lumbago. 0.

Amos Carlisle Almost Killed by a Freight Train.

Harlan Busby is Very" Nearly v— Drowned.-

FromMonday'e dally

Yesterday morning shortly after the eleven o'clock freight had gone east some men walking along the Yandalia track near the gravel pit found an unconscious boy lying between the tracks and exposed to the sun. Assistance was procured and he was removed in an express wagon to his home. It turned out to be Amos Carlisle, the 17 year old son of N. C. Carlisle, a nailer, of 112 south Centre avenue. His foot was twisted and torn his back and sides bruised and scratched and several bad

J•ink

ashes cut in bis .Jiead. Drs. and McClain^ ''Were called in and after an examination propronounced the wounds not necessarily fatal, but quite serious. It is thought no bones are broken in his foot, althoutfh it oannot yet be decided.

It is supposed that he had been riding out from the city on the freight train and in getting off had caught his foot in between the boxing and the wheel and was thrown lown and dragged along until the heel of bis shoe came off. His clothing and back show that he hits been dragged some distance. When picked up he was unconscious.

A GAZETTE representative called at the home of the wounded boy this morning and fouud' that he had not yet recovered consciousness. It is thought that he la8 not been injured internally. He is a nail feeder and runs a machine under his father at the Nail Works. He had a very narrow escape from death.

ALMOST DROWNED*/ J,

A sixteen year old boy named Harly Buzby came very near being drowned yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the east end gravel pit. He attempted to swim the length of the pit and on getting near the center was taken with cramps. He was eeen to throw up his hands and sink. He had sank for tbe third time when a young man named Frank Dunlap swam out and brought him in.

He was taken out for dead but nevertheless he was vigorously worked with, and after some time was again brought to again. He hardly realizes the narrow,escape from death. Had it not been for the prompt action of the bystanders he wotftd undoubtedly never have recovered.
