an Ancie1lt Relic.

Mr.. James P. Swift, agent Of the
Equality Coal Company, of Evansville.

ment which has attained remarkable
age, surviving by many years all the hu-
man beings who started out on the vOy-
age of life with it, unless perhaps it be
the old South American duffer who has
lately come to ight-in the newspapers
at the age of $50. An inscription,
inlaid in the case, shows that this an
tique piano was Repaired and i'm
proved in 1907 by James Henry Hous-
ton, Grand and Square Pianoforte
Manufacturer, Wardour street, Lon
DON" How many years it had been in
use when these repairs were made, there
are no means of knowing, but it is safe
to say the piano, or more properly
speaking, harpsichord, is not less than
IT'S years old at the present time. II
was brought to this country in the year
1923, by the Owen family, and formed

settlement in New Harmony in 1870
It came into the possession OF Mrs.
Swift, the mother OF the present owner'
.in 1880, and has been kept as an helr'
loom in the family ever since. Truly
there is nothing new under the sun, iof
it is almost fac-simile of the grand Pr
ano of the present day. The case Is
made of dark, rich brown-colored
wood resembling black walnut or ma
hogany, and though very much deiacea
now, shows plainly that at one time J.
was highly polished. A pattern ..
leaves and flowers inlaid in different
colored woods ornaments the space
above the keyboard. The keys, WHICH

The St. Louis Times says
the war in South America is
proving ruinous to English in
terests in that part of the world.
The Chilians have seized and
destroyed the wharves and
launches used by the English
in loading their ships with qua
no on the Peruvian coast. AS
about a hundred English vessels
have thus beenkept from obtain
ing their cargoes, and as Eng
lish creditors of Peru and Boil

has informed inquiring members
that measures have been taken
for the protection of English

Attempt to Murder.

About five o'clock on Sun
day afternoon one w. Meal
lister went to the barroom of
Mr.. Jacob Neu where John
O'Mealy. a we'll known citizen,
was employed in the capacity
of barkeeper and was on duty
as such at the time. Mr.. Nc
Allister called for and drank
glass of beer after which some
words were passed; O'Mealy
came out from behind the coun-
ter and struck McAllister over
the head with a small pine stick
on which a map had originally
been mounted; the stick being
very light and barely five. eighths
of an inch in diameter, it was
broken by the blow; at
this juncture McAllister
who backed toward the door,
drew a Colts revolver, and
fired two shots in very rap
id succession, both balls taking
effect, one passing through the
fleshy part Of the arm a short
distance from the shoulder joint
and entering the left breast, just
below the third rib; the ball en-
tering the lung making very
severe and dangerous wound.
O'Mealy who was standing near
the end of the counter turned
after the first shot, the second
one took effect in his back just
above the right shoulder blade
this ball was extracted, but the
one in the lung remains, the
physicians deeming it mex
pedient to probe the wound.
Immediately after the shooting
McAllister walked to the street
and was arrested by marshal
Swain, who was on the opposite
side of the street and heard the
shooting. He was at once ia
ken to jail and upon searching
him a derringer pistol was also
found in his possession. Two or
three gentlemen, who were set
ting in the: Darkroom at Neu's,
say that they heard no quarrel
or loud words between the two
men and the first intimation that |
they had ofthe difficulty was the
pistol reports in rapid success
ion. McAllister is a compare
tive stranger here and is known
to but few men, but the fact of
his being armed with two pistols
would seem to indicate that he
was sent upon mischief. On
Monday afternoon O'Mealy was
suffering intense pain from his
chest and fears are entertained
for his recovery.

A NoBBY HAT.-A lady, evil
IDENTIFY from the country, and of
complexion that might be des-
cribed as intermediate between
the color of sugarhouse molas-
ses and North Carolina tar, ap-
peared on the streets in a hat
that, in New York, London or
Paris would have attracted uni
versal attention. 1t would have
astonished Worth, the man
milliner, or Madame Demorest
the inventor of styles. The
hat in question was the cheap
est of panamas, costing origi-
naliy. perhaps all Of a quarter
of a dollar. The brim was of
mammoth proportions. being
nearly as large as family UNI
brella; it was cooked or turned
up on one side and fastened
with a white metal rosette, orig.
inally intended to ornament the
bride of a mule or mustang
pony. An ordinary shoe lace
around the crown completed
the ornamentation of this, the
nobhiest hat CT the season.

Thinking it never too late to
relate a good thing, our secreta-
ry having failed to inform you
of the good TIME we had at In
dependence Grange on the
evening Of the 18th ult.. will
give brief sketch that others
may know that independence
Grange still lives and is actively
working for the upbuilding Of
the good and great principals
of grangerism. By invitation
brother J. E. Gray, of Bethlehem,
and brother L. n. Halbett, Of
Long Point, were with us and
both delivered sound practical
addresses. Brother Gray first
spoke showing the benefits that
had accrued from the practice
Of grange principles, his remarks
being replete with logical rea7I
sons why the grange should be
kept up; he gave statistics
showing what had been wrung
from the agriculturist for the
want Of corporation among
themselves and what they could
save by simply cooperating and
attending to their own business.
not breaking down Others"
but simply doing for themselves
what they were paying a great
many clever gentlemen to do
for them. Brother Gray is an
earnest Patron of Husbandry,
and a forcible speaker. and l
hope he may live long to advo-
cate the cause of the grange.
Brother Gray having concluded,
Capt. Halbert, in his usual hap
Ply style, gave the grange a very
fine practical speech which was
short and pointed. The Captain
showed what a few who had de-
termined to do their own bust
ness, could and had done in
Brennan in the way of reducing
the price ofhandling cotton and |
also in the purchase. of wagons
and other articles which have
been handled by our co-opera-
tive house. If VIC could only
get farmers to understand and
practice corporations, the next
season we could reduce the
price Of handling cotton still
more. The great need of far
mers is to have one house to re-
ceive their cotton and that
house to be a general supply
house for farmers. Capt. Gray,
Capt. Halbert and many other
grangers say we can and must
have it, and that by next sea-
son. The matter is for farmers
to decide; let them make up
their minds and get together
and the thing is done. Will
they do it, or will they continne
to pay a dozen men for doing
what one or two could do ? The
over, the good ladies
of our grange invited all to join
in the feast, which in both quail
ty and quantity could not be
surpassed. This social feature
Of our order is one Of its at
fractions and the grange should
be kept up for it, if nothing
more.
