A party OF some sixty Indianapolis
presbyterians are at Maxenkuckee
lake for few days, under command
of Major General j. G.. Kingsbury, Of
the Indiana Farmer. 1t is generally
supposed that presbyterians do not
know how to enjoy themselves on
such excursions, but from accounts
We judge this party is having high
old time. The ladies OF the party
are quartered in the houses OF the
neighborhood and the men repose
their manly forms Cat night in a
big barn, chartered for the occasion.
The plan is not a bad one, and sug-
gests the idea that IL numerous
buildings for the accommodation Of
pleasure seekers were erected there
would be hundreds OF people to visit
the lake.

Tie Red Eyed Truth.

Editor OF The Republican:
A company from Argos visited
Maxenkuckee on the 4th OF July,
broke into the club house, and made
free use OF the property OF the club
as long as they wished to- Informa-
ton was brought to the officers OF
the club at Plymouth, when a note
was addressed to them to call on
the captains Office which they
did as soon as possible thesesfter.
The above article appeared in the
local columns OF last weeks Demo
crat. andf for fear some one who readsit
might think it was true, We beg leave
to hand in remonstrance. No par
ty from Argos broke into the COM
pany's club room on the Fourth Of
July, or any other day, nor did they
make free use OF the compauy's
property as long as they wished to"
or any other length OF time, nor is
there any other part OF the above
article true except that "a company
from Argos visited Maxenkuckee on
the Fourth of July"
A brief statement of the facts
would read as follows: A company
OF five gentlemen and their wives
visited the lake on the Fourth OF
July, and after eating their dinner on
the beach near the boat house, found
themselves about TO be drenched
with a shower, and started for "a
farm house, when the open door OF
the club room attracted their aiten-
ton. They all went inside until the
shower was over and then went. out
and closed the door after them.
This is the only thing in or about the
club house that was in any way
changed from the position in which
they found 1t. From their one OF
the party went to the residence OF
Vanscoick, rented and paid for the
boat they used. This boat was
manned by the oars from the boat
house, taken from there by Mr.. V
himself without either assistance or
advice from any one. This same man
then informs the club that the Argos
party, mot he). had broken into the
club house. The Secretary, who Is
also the pigmy of the Plymouth bar
and midwife extraordinary TO the
late legislature, notified the party
that with malice aforethought"
they had broken into, beat, mashed,
bruised. scared, and otherwise de-
faced the aforesaid boat house and
must whack up or go to states pris-
on" One OF the party left some
money on deposit with member OF
the club, to be kept until meeting
should be held to decide what the
damage should be for-shutting the
door. The nonsensical bleatings of
the president that ~the Argos party
had been scared out Of five dollars"
is of about the same kind OF material
as the balance OF the story, and
shows the same. amount and quality
Of undeveloped sense. This Is all
there is about the boat house roor-
back. JOHN G. GoRDoN.

Burglars entered the residence OF
Joseph Westervelt last Friday night
and relieved Mrs. W. OF her fine
watch and chain worth about 5000,
and Mr.. Westervelt of his watch
worth $50, and about Gil in currency.
The same gang went through G. L.
Mattingly's residence, but no one is
able to tell what they got. as Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. are away summering in the
New Hampshire mountains. The
thieves evidently understood their
business judging from the way they
proceeded. At Mr.. Westervelt's a
flower stand which stood under the
bedroom window was relieved OF the
pots and the steps used to climb
into the window. The only security
against robbers now adays is to
have nothing worth stealing. The
watch was engraved from J. w. to
S. G.. w. No. 1850.
