A COOL AND DELIBERATEMURDER AT BOURBON

William Bates Shot Through the Heart and His Son Wounded by Fred Reddinger.

[From tlie Plymouth Independent J

Not in twenty years has Marshall county known such a tragedy as occurred at Bourbon Saturday after­noon when Fred Reddinger shot and instantly killed William Bates and seriously wounded his sou, Frank Bates. The trouble grew out of an old grudge between the lteddinger and Bates families.

Fred Reddinger, the young man who committed the crime, is 2(5 years of ago and is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Red­dinger, who reside near Bourbon. Fred Reddinger was married about live years ago and since that time has lived on a farm adjoining his father’s. H is wife and two small boys, aged one and four years, ac­companied by Mr. Reddinger. the father, and Jonas Reddinger. a brother, spent most of the forenoon at the jail in this city talking over the situation with the young man who committed the crime at Bour­bon Saturday evening.

Nelson Reddinger, the jeweler at Bourbon, and Wesley Reddinger. who lives on a farm south of Bour­bon, are brothers of the young man who fired the fatal shot.

I t seems that Fred Reddinger, a few days before, had offered a num-

the north. About two miles north­west of Bourbon, Officer Plant look them into custody.

Reddinger surrendered to tlie officer without resistance. Plant assured his prisoner that he would see that no act of violence was committed upon him, although a number of the citizens of Bourbon were intent upon the second crime.

Officer Plant immediately noti­fied Sheriff Steiner of this city who drove to Bourbon with all possible speed. On his arrival there the impression was given out that Reddinger would bo brought to Plymouth on the 8:40 train and more than ‘WO people had collect- ed*at the railway station an hour beforo the train was scheduled to arrive. In the meantime Sheriff Steiner with the assistance of the officers at Bourbon had secretly spirited away their prisoner and drove with him to Plymouth. A l­though it was not believed that there would be any act of violence on the part of anyone, it was deemed best by the oflicers to take all precaution.

Wm. Bates was man 05 years of age and his son, Frank, 38 years of age. Both resided on farms west of Bourbon, and are fairly

Arrangements have been effected for securing a loan of whatever amount is needed for the purchase of land and the construction and furnishing of an eight-room build­ing. The loan is to be repaid in twenty annual installments of not over §800 each.

Th e h ill charges in substance that these associations, their officers, dele­gates nnd members, are a ll engaged in a common undertaking, to -w it, the

That these associ­ations and the members thereo f have entered into a conspiracy to arb itrari­ly fix and regulate the price at which such articles shall be sold to the con­sumer, and that, they have established rules and regulations to enforce such an unlawful agreem ent by restricting the purchase and sale o f such com­m odities to those members o f the sev­eral associations who shall liv e up to and observe the rules and regulations thus a rb itra rily prescribed by the re­spective associations.

T h o W h ite House at W ashington, which has been the “ K in gs Palace” o f the Am erican Peop la since it was first occupied by President Madison in 1809, has recently undergone a thorough course o f rem odelling, reno­vation and repair. E ve ry Am erican citizen is owner o f an undivided e igh ty or eighty-five m illionth part o f the W h ite House, as w e ll as o f the other Public. Buildings and Monuments in the Capitol City. An item in the

j renovation o f the rem odelled W h ite 1 House was repainting. E very vis itor

to W ashington knows w hy the W h ite House is so calied— because it is lit­era lly a "w h ite house” . Tbe exterior

! paint must therefore be white. N ow . w h ile the pure wh ite surfaces and sim ­

ple lin es o f the W hite House, set in j the m idst o f green lawns and beauti-

fu l trees, produce a very satis fy ing effect o f d ignified sim plic ity , white paint from a practical point o f view , is about the most unsatisfactory kind o f paint that could have been selected by the o rig in a l designers. F irst, be­cause any w h ite paint is easily dis­colored by smoke and dust, and sec­ond, because ord inary white paint its e lf gradually turns gray o r brown­ish y e llow from exposure.

But w h ite the W h ite House is and w h ite it must rem ain or it would no longer be the "W h ite House” . So the renovators, m aking the best o f a dis­couraging situation, sought fo r the le s t kind o f w h ite paint procurable. The average citizen i f asked to guess w hat kind o f paint they finally decid­ed on would probably answer— "w h ite lead and o il.” but he would guess w rongly. The paint selected as tlie best obtainable was a ready mixed paint, such as can bo bought in any w ell furnished v illa g e store, such as Js used by m ore than h a lf o f the eighty or eighty-five m illion owners o f the W h ite House on th e ir own homes. Th a t one brand o f mixed

; paint was used instead o f another is a mc-re accidental detail— there are fifty or a hundred brands on the m arket tbat m igh t have been selected in other circumstances, and in fact, a d ifferen t brand was used in paint­ing the Capitol.

E ve ry property owner, therefore, who paints his house w ith a high grade ready-m ixed paint is fo llow ing the exam ple set by the Government

j Authorities a t W ashington, who used j ready-m ixed paint, because th ey could

find nothing else as good.-

REPAIRING BRAINA Certa in W a y b y Food.

E ve ry m inister, law yer, journalist, physician, author or business man is forced under pressure o f modern con­ditions to the active and som etim e; overactive use o f the brain.

A nalysis o f the excreta thrown oul by the pores shows that brain work breaks down the phosphate o f potash, separating i t from its heavier compan­ion, albumen, and p lain common sense teaches that this elem ental principle must be introduced in to thc body anew each day, i f w e would replace the loss and rebuild thc brain tissue.

W e know tnat. thc phosphate oi potash, as presented in certain field grains, has an affin ity fo r albumen and that is the on ly w ay g ray m atter iu th< brain can be built. I t w ill not answer to take the crude phosphate o f potash o f the drug shop, fo r nature rejects it. The elem ental m ineral must be pre­sented through food d irectly from na­ture ’s laboratory.

St. Petersburg, M ay 11.— W ithou t a single hitch and wit-n on ly a m inor incident to m ar the m em orable day, the Russian parliam ent was inaugu­rated Thursday. Th e w eather was superb, and the Stage managem ent o f the im pressive cerem ony a t thc w in ­ter palaco, w here Em peror N icholas, surrounded by courtiers and a ll the pomp and panoply o f power, de liv ­ered the speech from the throne t.o tho members o f the two houses, was per­fect. Such a spectacle perhaps never before has been w itnessed on the earth ’s stage.

Th e message in rea lity was less a throne speech than a greeting, and re ­quired on ly three m inutes fo r its de­livery . Em peror N icholas read s low ­ly. The adm irable and even cordial tone o f thc sovereign in renew ing his pledges and ask ing the cooperation o f parliam ent fo r the regeneration o f

i the country was on ly n egative ly satis- : factory.

F lu n k ies App laud .Courtiers and spectators, other than

members o f the national parliam ent, led the cheering, but the members w ere om inously silent, expressing nci-

' ther approval nor disapproval. W h a t rankled most was the fa ilu re o f the em peror to mention am nesty, and later, when tlie members assembled in the Tauride palace aw ay from the spell o f the throne room, m any o f

| them w ere w ith difficu lty restrained 1 from percip ita ting m atters by o ffe r­

in g resolutions on the subject. The j constitutional dem ocratic leaders, how- I ever, who dom inated everyth ing, were

anxious not to weaken the rep ly which ; the low er house w ill prepare to the i speech from the throne, in wnich is­

sues w ith the throne w ill be joined, and succeeded in s tav in g o ff prem a­ture action.

The scene around Tauride palace was in s tr ik in g contrast w ith that at the w in ter palace. Each, indeed, was typical and told an eloquent story. At. the Tauride palace tons o f thou­sands o f people w ere accla im ing their representatives; a t the w in ter palace legions o f m ilita ry and courtiers by the hundreds cheered fo r the emperor. N evertheless -the proceedings o f the low er house w ere not spectacular; in fact., they w ere a lm ost tam e in com­parison w ith those a t the w in ter pal­ace.

A n g r y O ver A m n esty .Th e on ly genuine flashes o f fire

which showed the real tem per o f the members o f the house were when P ro f. — Mouromtseff. who had been elected president o f the low er house, invited governm ent o fficia ls and clerks to leave the. throne, and when Ivan Petrunkeviteh . in a few eloquent words from the rostrum, told the auditors that the first thought o f the parliam ent should be fo r those who had suffered in the cause o f liberty, who now filled the prisons, and whose arms were stretched ou t in hope and confidence to the people's representa­tives. More enthusiastic cheering than that w lileh greeted th is appeal never was heard in a politica l convention in the United States.

Constitution and am nesty were the keynotes o f P resident M ourom iseff’s speech.

R ea liza t ion c f Dream .B y the irony o f fate, Ivan Petrunke-

vitch . whose first m ention o f the word constitution l i years ago was dis­missed by Em peror N icholas II. as “ a foolish dream.” Thursday stood in the fron t rank o f the members o f the representative chamber, w h ile Em ­peror N icholas put his final seal upon the Russian parliam erit and begged the representatives o f the people to cooperate w ith h im in w ork ing fo r

| the w elfa re o f the country.Th e low er house o f the parliam ent

adjourned over until to-day. in order not to in terfere w ith the open ing ox- ercises o f the council o f the em pire and also to perm it the com m ittee o f the constitutional democrats to con­sider the rep ly to the speech from the throne.

Dispatches received here from all parts o f Russia indicate that tlie open­ing o f the parliam ent was celebrated everywhere.

A ll the world loves a baby, and I am sure wheu^tbe little strangers arrive, they w ill bo a ll the happier on account o f the good time th e ir mothers had at this “ s to rk " luncheon.

There were four honored guests and s ix intim ate friends, aud they had conspired w ith the hostess to make the party a success. On "th e ” four chairs at the table bibs w ere tied; the favors were dainty cellu loid rattles and white storks bore the place cards in their b ills; but “ the’' four plates each bird had a baby done up in a sm all square o f linen. The taljle cen­terp iece was a g ilt cardie, w ith a canopy o f dotted swiss tied w ith pink ribbons. T in y pink rosebuds were scattered over the table w ith maiden­ha ir ferns. The napkins were folded lik e doll babies and were plnr.ed w ith sa fety pins. Candles, fa iry lamps and a number o f litt le n igh t lamps gave tho illum ination, w h ile advertise­ments o f all the baby foods adorned the walls; these had been cut from m agazines and mounted on cardboard.

is variety. You must not always look the same. The woman who dresses her hair always the same w ay makes a great mistake. She looks tame and the same to you and you begin to th ink sin; cannot look any other way.

“ Secondly, the beauty o f the coiffure depends upon the condition o f the hair. Unless you know how to keep your hair in shape, thick, glossy and shining, you cannot hope to have a satisfactory coiffure. Your hair must be w e ll groomed and brushed until it gleams. W ithou t these characteristics the best ha ir dresser can do nothing a t all. H er hands are tied from beauty’s standpoint.

Gen. Funston Is righ t w ell known In W ashington, where he has many friends who were intim ate w ith him long before he ever dreamed that he j would wear the stars o f a brigad ier general in the regular army. Less than a dozen years ago he was an in­conspicuous c lerk in the department of agriculture, a place he secured through tbe influence o f his father, who was fo r many years a Republican congress­man from the state o f Kansas. Fun­ston was always an ambitious little fe l­low, but h is friends here do not re­call that a m ilita ry career especially appealed to him until conditions grew so bad in Cuba under Spanish misrule. Ho used to ta lk w ith his associates about the oppression o f the Cubans and wish that he could do something to help them w in liberty. H e went to Cuba fina lly and fought w ith the pa­triots against the Spanish and had a

There was a heavy snow on the ground, so that the Indians were handicapped and they lost their race w ith the horse and wagon.

V arious H e lp fu l Suggestions far th# M an W ho H as Bees fo r P leas­

ure oy Pro fit.

W hen nectar is abundant in the fields, and your bees hesitate about startlug work In the sections but crowd the brood nest w ith it, try the fo llow ­ing plan:

When the combs are sealed at tha top in the brood chambers, mash these cells at the top o f the brood frames w ith a table fo rk ; shut up the h ive, put the sections on, aud then rap oa the hive. Do this just before dusk, and you w ill find the bees n icely a t work there the next m orning

It is not difficult to persuade any col­ony o f bees, o f proper strength, ta work in the section; but do it by rap­ping on the h ive and driv ing them u.?. T h ey fill themselves w ith honey a n i go up there and work. You have per­haps scarified enough cells so that they w ill have no cells except those to put the honey in. The honey w ill have to be taken ou t by the bees. I t Is a forcing process, as you m ight say, but it se­cures the result.

A colony w ith abundant entrance fo r a ir is less inclined to swarm than it o therw ise would be. Raising the hive by putting an inch block under each, corner, and leav ing the h ive open a ll around, is an excellent method fo r g iv ­ing plenty o f air. But do not expect that the plan o f g iv in g p lenty o f a ir w ill en tire ly suffice to keep bees from swarm ing.

I have used various methods o f transferring, but have g iven the fo l­low ing the preference. These direc­tions w ill be applicable on ly to those who have bees ia fiam e hives.

I f tho bees to be transferred are in a common box. and the combs have not been built down to the bottom, cuc down the box to the depth o f the comb, turn the bottom side up, aud put spacing sticks between the comb* to prevent contact w ith each other.. Then place one o f the standard h ive bodies on top, closing up all surplus openings on the sides o r ends. N ow go to a colony o f bees and rem ove x frame o f honey, anu containing egg* and larvae; place this in the vacant body over the box, and fill up with, drawn comb or foundation. In a few. days, i f you keep watch, you w ill find the queen in the upper story; then you qu ietly s lip a queen excluder be­tween this part and the o ld box. In. 21 days you can rem ove the low er part aad dispose o f the comb as you see fit-

is Dr. V ickers Fell, who is now in the eighty-seventh year o f his age. l i e was one o f the pioneers o f the west, and started the first Republican news­paper west o f St. Louis. In addition to his devotion to the cause o f antl- slavcry, Dr. F e ll has been deeply in­terested in the question o f wom an’s rights and temperance. Th e other day w h ile in a reminscent mood, he talked o f his early experiences in tho west, and o f conditions that the present gen­eration has lit t le conception of. In speaking o f his early history, he said:

“ I was born In Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, In 1819. M y parents were Quakers and were, lik e the ma­jo r ity o f Quakers, opposed to slavery. Tn 1851 I established m yself at St.

I t may be mentioned that the lady has not ye t appeared, and Mr. S tark ’s $300,000 are yet intact. He came here a few wt?eks ago and put up at the best hotel in the city, and to an enterprising reporter on a daily paper told an enchanting story in his great luck in searching fo r wealth.

According to h i3 tale, he struck it rich wherever he went In gold and s il­ver m in ing and in search fo r diamonds in the diamond fields o f Brazil. H e said that he was w orth $500,000 in cash, besides retain ing an interest in some valuable mines. H e was tired, he declared, o f his hard life as a pros­pector and gold hunter, aud wanted to settle down in peace, com fort and do­mestic bliss.

I have a good aad simple w ay o f m aking hens' nests which I w ill g ive to others, says a w rite r in P ra irie Farmer. M y way is to take boards s ix inches w ide and 12 feet long and have them sawed up into 12-inch lei>gths. One board w ill make three nests 12 inches square. Some thin boards can be used fo r the bottom. Now make a p latform three feet w ide across a portion o f the house at the desired height from the floor. Place the nests ou this iu an even row close together at the edge o f the platform next to the roosts. N ow make a par­tition o f woven w ire or boards from the top o f the nests, and m iddle o f platform , to the roof o f the house. When a hen wants to set, and you have no use fo r her fo r that purpose, she can be placed on the other side o f the partition and be inclosed by the back o f the nests and the w ire netting where she w ill be aw ay from the lav­in g hens. Nests made in this man­ner can be easily cleaned and freed from insects.

Culvkb, In d ia n a , M a y 17, 1906.

A Story on Sam Parker.Ilon. Sam Parker of South Bend,

attorney for the Pennsylvania rail­road, came to Culver on Thursday for a few hours.

By the way, a recent story, told in a recent issue of the South Bend Times, is admitted by Sam to be true:

Ex-State Senator Sam Parker of South Bend had tho distinction a few days ago of being a listener on the floor of the house of represen­tatives, although he never has been a congressman, a governor, a cabinet officer, a member of the supreme court nor has held any other office that would entitle him to admission to the iiocr. Mr. Parker had no intention of violat­ing the rules, but he had been used to the free and easy ways of the Indiana legislature, where outsid­ers walk in on the floor and take seats with members whenever they please. Ordinarily the lynx-eyed doorkeepers would have halted him, but probably he looked so much like a statesman that they confused him with the real article Anyhow, he sauntered in on the floor, listened attentively while Democratic Leader Williams and Republican Leader Payne de­molished each other for the 145th time, and then spied Represent­ative lirick.

“ Hello. Brick!’’ he said, as he slipped up behind the South Bend member and slapped him on the I shoulder.

“ Great heavens, Sam, how d id ' you get in here?” inquired Brick, I turning pale.

Senator Parker explained, and; together they beat a hasty retreat to the outside without standing on the order of their going.

A Fine Showing.Clyde R. Walter, who is taking

a course in the Kansas City Veter­inary college of Kansas City, Mo., has just received his tirst-year standings. The record is one which . does him credit and is a pretty good indication of his future suc­cess in his chosen profession. The standings are as follows: Anatomy (recitations) 97, anatomy (labora­tory) 91; histology (recitations) 9-4, histology (laboratory) 92; chemis­try (recitations) 94. chemistry (lab­oratory) 97; pharmacy 99, materia medica 85, physiology 90, feeds and feeding 94, breeds and breeding 92, language 95, clinic 91.

The Booze Question.Culver, thc little town on Lake

Maxinkuckee, which recently vot­ed saloons out of the bailiwick, will now have a “ club.” Yesterday at Indianapolis the Maxinkuckee club of Culver was incorporated for social purposes; directors, J. Henry Geiger, Carl Rees and Frank Bauer, all Logansport people.— Exchange.

Wolford’s former saloon at the depot has been opened as a “ quart house” whero under a government license liqaor and beer can be sold in quantities of not less than a quart to be drank off the premises.

A “ Club” in Trouble.Over at Syracuse, Kosciusko

county, a “ club” is made the sub­ject of a grand jury investigation. Tho method of oporating tho “ club” was to sell coupon books at $1, the coupons redeemablo in anything that the “ club" deals in.

Nothing is printed on the cou­pons that would indicate that they could bo bartered for a drink, but, according to testimony offered, the management of thc club has been known to accept them for almost any kind of liquid refreshment.

Congressional Convention.The democratic congressional

committee met in Plymouth to­day. A tty. S. N. Stevens was chairman by virtue of his position as district chairman, and John R. Jones was selected as secretary. Tho date of the congressional con­vention was set for July 12 and the place selected is Plymouth.— Indejjendent, 4th.

less oil gas stove, from $3 to $9, has been tried by tho peoplo of Culver and it has proven superior in point of economy and convenience to any on the market. A t J. P. Sham- bauglTs.

IN MARSHALL AND 1 ADJOINING COUNTIES |

The town of Knox has an 8:30 o'clock curfew law.

Dr. U. Ct . Vance, who has been a resident of Akron since 1900, will soon remove to Hillsboro, Fountain couniy.

The U. B. people of Fulton pur­chased a lot and will begin at once the construction of an $8,000 church.

The building occupied by Huff & Co. was sold last, week by J. F. Weiss to Mrs. Wm. Huff. Con­sideration named, $10,000.— Bre­men Enquirer.

The Akron News says: Mrs. Scott Whittenberger marketed two hundred dozen hens’ eggs during the month of April, which at 14 cents per dozen amounts to $23.

Daniel Lemlar had 22 out of 29 sheep killed by dogs, and William Craig 13 killed, making $521.50 worth killed by worthless dogs since March I. -Bourbon Mirror.

It is reported that some South Bend men have leased a tract of ground on tho east shore of the Lake of the Woods, on which they will build a club house, and will establish an automobile line from Bremen.— Bremen Enquirer.

Without any warning Geo. S. Darr, aged 64 years and a widely known undertaker, died at his home in Syracuse of heart trouble. He had been engaged in the undertaking business nearly 40 years and was a prominent K . P.

The New Church.The plans for the new Reformed

church have been received and ac­cepted by the building committee. Tho cost of tho improvement will reach about $5,000—$1,000 more than the original expenditure con­templated— but the increase is ful­ly justified by the enhanced beauty of the structure. The east front of j the main part and tho annex will both show a large center, window flanked by two smaller ones. The tower and entrance will occupy the center of the building where tho two sections meet. The architect­ural design of tho towor meets ev­ery requirement of beauty and util­ity and will form a striking feature of the structure, Tho material for the outside walls is to be red pressed brick, relieved by stone water tables, sills and caps. There will not be a prettier church build­ing in this section of Indiana.

Opening of Navigation.The first sign of the opening of

lake navigation was given la s t Thursday when Capt. Crook fired up the Peerless and towed the dancing pavilion over to the west side of the lake. The Vandalia has promised] to get the pier into place this week and when this is dono the Peerless and the Mees- waugee will go into regular com­mission, and life on the lake will begin to seem like the real thing.

Married in Alabama.Robert E. Morrison of Indian­

apolis is a lake resorter well-known j in Culver. H e went South last fall for the benefit of his health,; driving in a wagon. News comes that he was married in Alabama recently to a lady of that state. Mr. Morrison owns “Shady Bluff” cottage on the east side of the lake.

the opportunity comes you w ill be able to depend on me. E ven m y son deceived me. Tor I suppose he knew o f your m arriage."

John remembered the conversation he had had, near his old home, w ith Crockett.

“ Yes, he knew. Hut since I cannot be o f serv ice to you. Aunt Sarah— since m y being called here was all a m istake a fter all, I m ight as w ell re­turn. Th ere is one thing I would like to ask you.”

“ I shall answer any question, neph­ew — you are kind indeed to make so ligh t o f ray ingratitude.”

"H a ve you ever told m y cousin how I was able to serve you in Lou is­v ille ? ”

" I have not, though 1 should have done so, and I w ill, now that this has happened.”

"Thank you, aunt. I be lieve when he knows that he w ill not fee l so hit­te r toward me. W e are kin, though w e fight on d ifferen t sides, aud when the war is over I hope to live here again— it would be much better i f we w ore friends.”

"Spoken like a R idgew ay— I fear the better elem ents in our fam ily de­scended on your side and the baser ou ours, John. It shall be as you say. : I shall never be deceived like this ; again ."

“ Aud m y w ife— you said M ollie was ! here— that she saw me enter this house, saw that desperate, vengefu l woman le t me In.”

“ Yes. it. was true; but tel! me, why docs m y son’s w ife hate you so?”

“ I would rather not say, aunt— I as­sure you it is en tire ly to my credit, though.”

" I can guess It— you could not re­turn the love she once case at vour feet.”

"N o , no, not exactly that."“ Still, she gave you to understand j

she had a passion fo r you, anu you !

“ John, you humiliate me m ore and more. Then you fo rg ive my share in this v ile p lot?” she asked, with tears In her eyes.

“ F ree ly and fu lly ," he replied.A s he started fo r the door he en­

countered the v ind ictive woman who had plotted so desperately far his overt It row.

One glance into his face revealed to her the fac t lh a t he knew all.

She ground her teeth in rage."Y ou have escaped me again, John

R idgew ay, but don't flatter yourseir this is the end. I shall live to see you suffer worse than I have endured,” she said, b itterly.

“ You are a foolish woman, Helle. W hy not fo rge t the past and live only in the present. There is enough work fo r patriotic daughters o f the South to do w ithout brooding over their own p r iva te im aginary injuries. I w ish you no ill, but remember, the next tim e you endeavor to come between M ollie Granger and m yself I may not be so forg iv fng."

She was not a t a ll cowed." I w ill never cease to be a thorn in

your side,” she hissed, venomously." I hope we w ill n ever m eet again.

B e lle .” he said, as he passed from the house.

N o r did they.Th is desperate woman, who did not

hesitate to risk her life fo r the lost cause, was g iven a dangerous mission a few days later.

She was never heard o f again.N o one knew what became o f her,

but the last seen o f her was near a grea t dismal swamp which in avoid­ing ihe camp o f the enemy, she may have attem pted to paSs through, only to get lost and m iserably perish.

W ith all her faults, and they were many, she at least loved her country m ore than her own life , which she fre e ly gave as a sacrifice in the en ­deavor to assist the rapidly waning Star o f the sinking Confederacy.

K now ing her vind ictive nature from

tive. and his description Of the outfit, g iven 1:1 a few sentences, tallied ex­actly with ihe squire's rig.

Satisfied that the one in whom he had so grea t an interest must be just a short distance ahead, Colonel John spurred on.

There was a long stretch o f road between this last p icket post and Lyndhurst, that was practically un­guarded.

Th is was the region Colonel John had his fears about, concerning the safety o f his w ife.

R ov in g hands o f guerrillas could easily p ierce the outer line o f the Fed­eral*, and doubtless came within reach o f the buildings his men w ere engaged to protect, many times.

As yet they had heard no signs o f the veh ic le ahead, but the p icket had assured them it was not fa r away.

A fte r all, this m ight be something o f a quixotic errand on his part, but he saw his duty plain ly before him and would not shrink no m atter i f his presence was not needed.

As he galloped on he endeavored to map out in his mind some course which he had better pursue on tho morrow, when he found h im self in the presence o f Mollie.

A ll he desired was to set h im self straight in her eyes.

From these reflections Colonel John was suddenly aroused— he surely heard a cry in the darkness beyond, a cry that sounded very like a shout fo r help in a fem ale voice.

H is blood seemed on fire a t the thought o f his w orst fears being con­firmed, ana M ollie. his w ife, being at the m ercy o f the rascals who, serving under neither flag, pillaged the dis­tracted country.

“ They have been a ttacked !” were the words he uttered, as he spurred his horse forward.

Rushville.—-Class strife between the seniors and juniors o f the Rushville high school is believed to have been responsible fo r the burning o f the $75,000 high school building here. Th e flames could not have been started by sparks from the furnace, as there was no fire in the building fo r tw o days. Th e fire was discovered by Capt. John K . Gowdy, form er consul gen­eral to Paris, who lives next door to the school. He turned in an alarm, ami when the lire department arrived a flag emblazoned w ith numerals could be seen floating from the dome, but the numerals could not be made out. Th e theory is that the building was entered some time during the night and the flag nailed to the mast. I t Is thought, that ihe boys responsible fo r the prank must have been careless in the handling o f matches, as i t is not considered probable that a deliberate attem pt to burn the building was made. A strict: investigation w ill be made. Th e flag which was placed on the structure was destroyed and con­sequently no c lew as to which class placed it there can be had.

“ W here is she now— I mean Mol- I ie ? ”

"O n the way home, I have reason to believe.”

past experience, Colonel John would from tim e to tim e fee l considerable un­easiness whenever his mind reverted to the fem ale spy.

W hen he stepped out o f the house he found the faith fu l sergeant by the door.

“ T o the horses, sergeant," was the order.

These had been le ft nor. fa r away.M ollie and her attendant dusky

guard would have had possibly ten minutes’ start.

Still, they could probably overtake the Granger veh ic le before it had

at the thought o f presenting h im self traversed more than half o f the roadleading to Lyndhurst.

The squire had once been proud o f his high-stepping horses.

Th is was ea rly in the war.Th e needs o f the Confederate cav­

a lry service had caused many a levy to be made— indeed, a drag-net had been used to scrape iu every decent animal in the South.

So the squire's fine carriage-horses had long since been offered on the a ltar o f patriotism and fo r the last year o r so he had been content to plod along behind a couple o f antiquated animals that filled his breast w ith scorn.

Colonel John knew al! his.H e was not apprehensive, therefore,

w ith regard to the veh ic le reaching Lyndhurst before them, w ith only ten minutes’ start.

Once mounted, they galloped along Peach T ree avenue heading fo r the outskirts.

Th e border o f the c ity was reached. Beyond lay the road leading to Lynd­

hurst.A ll was peaceful around them, and

ye t a m ighty arm y lay sleeping in and about A tlan ta— the arm y destined to carry terror and dism ay w h ile march­ing through Georgia.

F a r aw ay on the distant h ills could be seen tw ink ling camp-fires o f an­other host.

Johnston and his heroes in gray, watch ing and w aiting fo r a chance to pounce upon the Federals a t some tim e when they could be caught nap­ping.

Severa l tim es the colonel turned In his saddle and swept his eyes over the spectacle.

Once, when they were halted by an outlying p icket the colonel drew in his horse, ami a fter g iv in g the coun­tersign, leaned over to ask If a veh icle had gone on before them.

The soldier replied in the affirma-

before her a fter what had occurred.W h y had she braved this trip io the

city, unless she w as learn ing to love him — unless som ething within, her heart, refused to believe him the guilty w retch Belle Stevens declared, until she had seen his duplicity w ith her own eyes.

Th is being the case. John was not h a lf so indignant over the contem pti­b le fraud that had been used to draw him to the place as he m ight have been could he discover no benefit to h is own cause in the matter.

B elle Stevens had planned w e ll— the gold o f M ajor W orden had aroused her latent energies, i f such a thing w ere necessary, considering how she hated his successful rival.

She believed the gam e was in her hands, and that John could never ex­plain away the circumstances which now' clouded his name in the estima- ation o f the woman he ^"?s l’ast learn­ing to adore.

But B elle Stevens was yet to learn that sometimes engineers are des­troyed by the very power they are supposed to bring into ex istence— in other words, “ hoist by th e ir own pe­tard ."

Colonel John had made up his mind .that since he could learn nothing more to his advantage under this roof, he had better be m oving.

H is main thought was to overtake M ollie on the road i f possible, and es­cort. her in sa fety to Lyndhurst.

Perhaps she m ight be too indignant to speak to him— never mind, he could carry out his plan, protect her on the way, and leave explanations to a more convenient season.

Turn ing to his aunt he bade her farew ell.

“ I w ill see you again i f you remain in the city, Aunl: Sarah, and anything I may be able to do fo r you do not hesitate to speak o f it.”

Just in Time.Sergeant Shanks dashed a fter iiis

superior officer, alm ost as eager fo r the fray as was Colonel John himself, fo r Shanks had long ago gained the name o f a fire-eater, and hence had a reputation to sustain.

It was.no fa lse alarm.Th e road at this point was sandy,

so that even w ith such a rapid ad­vance, there was no sound marking the onward progress, no pounding o f hoofs such as would, have been the result In another quarter where the thoroughfare had a hard surface.

Th is proved doubly fortunate.N o t on ’ y did it prevent their arriva l

on the scene from being telegraphed ahead :o those who were engaged, but it gave the advancing warriors a chance to hear what was going on.

The shouts increased.It was a darky who gave ven t to

them, and his manner indicated tre­mendous excitem ent.

Faithfu l old Ezekial, unable to as­sist his beloved young m istress in any other way, was m aking a ll the noise he could, hoping to attract some ono to the rescue.

Certain it was lie gave the most un­earth ly ve ils that ever agonized mor­tal tympanum, and tho guerrillas m ight be excused if they either turned and ran or set about ending his fear­ful chorus w ith a bullet.

Colonel John, bending forward In the saddle, sought to discern the situ­ation ahead a-3 his horse carried him on w ith great bounds.

H e could see lights, as though the rascals had even had the assurance to start a fire a t the Side o f the road and play picket.

A dark ob ject— that was the car­riage, and around it the m oving forms o f the guerrillas.

Though his steed fa ir ly flew, such was- the Im patience o f the colonel that he kept using the spurs— no pace could keep up w ith his desire.

Thus he bore down upon the scene like a bosom o f destruction, ready to sweep anything and everyth ing out o f his path.

H e was inspired by a double m otive — ch iva lry and love.

Indianapolis. — Th e Indianapolis school enumeration whicn has just been completed, shows an increase o f 2.210 over last yea r ’s school census. Th is is by fa r the largest grow th fo r any recent year that the records o f Indianapolis show. As fa r as the tab­ulation o f the w ork o f the enumera­tors has been completed there are 4S.- 327 hoys and g ir ls o f school age in In­dianapolis, as compared wHh 45.117 in last year ’s census. T o ascertain the population o f a community, It is cus­tom ary to m ultip ly the school census by four and one-half. In the present instance this places the population o f Indianapolis a t 217,471. The las: edi­tion o f the c ity d irectory estimated the population at 222.oS5. School au­thorities are inclined to believe that the result, based on their figures, is more accurate, as they say they lim it their investigation to the corporation boundaries, w h ile the d irectory in­cludes many beyond.

Nervousness aud sleeplessness are us­ually due to the fact that the norves ar j not fed on properly nourishing blood: they are starved nerves. l )r .

Best o f all. the strength and in­crease in vita lity and health are lasting.

The trouble with most tonics and mod- cincs which have a large, booming sal a for a short time, is that t hey are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution.

Liverpool has tried and abandoned a penny-in-the-slot telephone service.

i^ondon, w ith three times as big a population as New York, has only two- thirds the number o f telephones— namely, 80,000.t The firgt long-distance telephone cable in this country was that be­tw een L iverpoo l and Manchester. It was opened in 1S80.

W ire less telephony has been invent­ed by Mr. Thomas Gladwell, o f N ew ­port (M on t.), who claims to have had successful results up to a distance of ten miles.

Th e longest telephone circu it In the world is that between N ew York and Chicago. It is 950 m iles long. The longest in Europe connects London with M arseilles, these places being C50 m iles apart.

I t is now possible to “ ring up" the nearest ra ilw ay station from a m oving train, and to telephone, via the station, to any subscriber. An experiment was j conducted successfully on the H igh land railway.

N ew York , May 8 — A fte r carrying on negotiations :or nearly three months tho subcommittees represent­ing the anthracite m ine workers' and operators o f eastern Pennsylvania Monday agreed to continue the award o f the sirike commission fo r another three years.

A ll m iners who have not committed violence against, persons or property w iil be reemployed and no one w ill he discriminated against, because o f any ac tiv ity he may have taken in tha strike movement.

This outcome o f a dispute, which threatened to develop into a long, b it­ter struggle and paralyze a great in­dustry, was looked upon w ith consid­erable satisfaction by the coal road presidents, as the agreem ent made early in March in reply to the mine workers’ orig inal demands.

The miners bad little to say regard­ing the agreement, except that it was the best they could get. They pointed out, however, that the agreement en­tered into is the first general agree­ment. that has ever been signed be­tween the operators and miners, and they look upon it as a step forward in their efforts to have regular agree­ments w ith their employers.

Scranton, Pa.. M ay 8.— There was a noticeable let-up in operations Mon­day on the part o f the companies which have been the most aggressive, in the im porting o f men and the op­eration o f collieries ami washeries w ith them. Arrangem ents are already being made by the Delaware & Hud­son and the Erie companies fo r the shipping back o f the imported men. i t is expected that they w in prac­tically all be out. o f the field by Mon­day next when the resumption o f op­erations w ill probably be ordered, and that there w ill be no unpleasantness as a consequence when the old nands return to work.

W ilkesbarre. Pa.. May S.— The news that, an agreem ent Tiad been reached in N ew Y o rk between the anthracite coal operators and miners’ com m it­tee was received here w ith the utmost satisfaction. Large groups o f miners gave expression o f their pleasure that the dispute had been settled am icably through the influence o f their leader, John M itchell, in whom they expressed themselves a3 having the fu llest confi­dence.

Washington. May 8.— Tbe fo llow ing Is quoted from a personal letter r e ceived from Gen. Funston by one of his friends among the officers at the war department:

" In taking the action I did on the m orning o f the earthquake, marching the troops into the c ity fo r the pur­pose o f aid ing the police and fire de­partments. I knew that I was acting w ithout warrant o f law ; but tbe con­stitution and laws were not framed for the purpose o f dealing with the conditions arising from earthquakes and tremendous conflagrations. For­tunately we had a level-headed lot of city officials to deal with.

“ The sw ift and efficient, work o f the arm y during the terrib le three days and nights o f fire have made a great Impression on people here. The or­ders to the troops were transmitted by mounted messenger, ail telegraphs and telephones being out o f business but in an hour and a half we had them patrolling the downtown streets.

“ The staff officers here have shown up splendidly, and it would be hard to make distinctions between them.”

KIDNEYJRQUBLESIncreasing: Among Women, But

Su fferers Need Not Despair

THE BEST ADVICE IS FREEO f a ll the diseases known, w ith which

thrrTcmale organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fa ta l, and statistics show that th is disease is on the increase am ong women.

J ^ j.E m m a S u v ^ y e r J

Unless ea r ly and correct treatm ent is applied the pa tien t seldom survives when oncc the disease is fastened upon her. W e believe L y d ia E. Pinkham ’s V egetab le Compound is the most e ffi­cien t treatm en t fo r chronic k idney troubles o f wom en, and is the on ly med­icine especia lly prepared fo r this purpose.

W hen a wom an is troubled w ith pain o r w e igh t in loins, backache, frequent, pa in fu l o r scalding urination , sw e llin g o f lim bs or fee t, sw e llin g under the eyes, an uneasy, tired fe e lin g in the region o f the k idneys or notices a sedim ent in th e urine, she should lose no time in com m encing treatm ent w ith L yd ia E. Pinkham 's Vegetab le Compound, as it m ay be the means o f saving her life .

F or proof, read w h at Lyd ia PI. P in k ­ham's Vegetab le Compound did fo r Mrs. Sawyer.

“ I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I mad© up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, nnd I tell every suffering woman about my case.” —Mrs. Emma Sawyer. Conyers, Ga.
