Want to Be District Judge.

There is no end of speculation concerning the
identity of Judge Gresham's probable successor
as district judge, and several new candidates
were announced by their friends yesterday.
Among the number Hon. John f. Kibbey, Of
Richmond, and Judge Joshua H. Mellett, of
Henry county, are likely to become especially
formidable, as their friends In their respective
districts will make determined fight for them
and will no doubt combine against an Indian
apoils man. Meetings of the bar at Richmond
and New Castle were held yesterday, and the
two gentlemen named above were most heartily
Endorsed. Hon. Abram W. Hendricks, Hon.
Conrad Baker, Hen. Fl. H. Miller. Hon. A. Z.
Harris, of this city, and General James NJ.
shackelford, of Evansville, have also been added
to the list of candidates, with without their
consent, and the list is q most formidable
one, embracing besides the gentlemen named,

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
How the Institution at Knightstown was
Originally Purchased and Held.

Captain CIV. Brouse, Of the Grand Army COM
mittee on the Soldiers Orphans Home, at
Knightstown, has received the following letter
from Chaplain Lozier, which will be of general
interest in view OF the movement to secure the
property from the misuse to which it has been
put by the Democratic Legislature:
SIOUX CITY, March %.
Captain c. w. Brouse:
Only Dear Old Comrade-Yours of the 10Th, in
curing as to the origin of the old Indiana Sol
ulers' Home, is just received. | was the finan-
clal agent of the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors
Home Association, and such I begged the
money that bought the old 'Knightstown
Springs property, every dollar of 1t, from the
friends of the soldiers and their helpless and
dependent families. The cost of the old prop
erty either Sc, 900 OF SIS, 500. The care of
soldiers widows and orphans was specially
stipulated in the articles of association. After
the boys returned from the war they elected a
Legislature which adopted the Home as IA
state institution, and appropriated money for
new building and for maintaining the Home.
My work ended with the purchase of the
Springs property. OF course the funds were
given for the benefit of the soldiers and sailors
and their widows and orphans, and anything
like 'herding' them with idiots Is an outrage
that would make tie ghost of old Writ blush.

HELLO! HELLO! HELLO,
The Telephone Exchange Struck by Light
ming During Yesterdays Storm.

During the severe thunder shower yesterday
forenoon the tower of the telephone exchange
in Blackfords building was struck by lightning
and set on fire. The bolt ran along the wires
and completely demolished large number of
the instruments and electrical appliances, dam
aging the exchange at least Sc, 500.
The flames were soon noticed from
the street, and an alarm met with
prompt response from the department. After
an hours work the fire WAS subdued, without
damaging the building much by water, for which
Chief Webster and tia boys generally are emit
tied to much credit. But few of the operators
were at their desks at the time, and one was
severely shocked Superintendent Smith thus
cards the public:
INDIANAPOLIS, April 5, 1888.
TO the Patrons of the Telephone Exchange:
THE tower of our central office was destroyed
py nre this morning, severing all connection
ana enforcing suspension OF our service for
several days, perhaps for one week. We expect
TO nave our out-of-town wires in working order
TINS AFTERNOON, and until full service is restored
conversation with the cities and towns with
which we connect may be had by coming to the
central office. W. W, SMITH, Superintendent"
This intelligence will be mournfully received
by the patrons of the exchange, who have
learned to regard the telephone as a necessity,
and the fact that they may communicate with
some OF the outside cities by walking TO tine
Office Will afford but little consolation for the
loss OF the more important city service.

A special dispatch to the Journal from Evans
vile states that Judge Gresham adjourned court
there last evening and left for this city. He
will, therefore, arrive this morning, and will

ENGLIsHs RANCH TEN"
Harry Meredith, and company that is we'll
adapted to the requirements made of them, be-
gan an engagement of three nights and matt
nee at Euglish's, last night, to top-heavy house,
in his own play. Ranch Ten,"a Western drama
that promises an excellent development after
the first act but falls short of the anticipations
as the action progresses. 1t is % melodrama of
the sensational kind, and is calculated to excite
much enthusiasm among those who frequent the
galleries Mr.. Meredith is excellent actor,
and the dual part he assumes is we'll suited to his
rugged physique and native force. BY the exer-
else of nice discrimination he preserves the
separate identities, SO there is no confusion In
the minds of the auditors, and in the strong sit
uations he was especially effective
The company afforded a satisfactory
support, generally speaking. Two of the CHI ar
aoters-the Judge and the Indian girl-are espe-
cially difficult to present, even in an ordinarily
intelligent manner, as it would be extremely
difficult to find their counterpart in the far
West. Sid Smith, all old-tme comedian, by
plentiful "gagging" and grotesque makeup,
created considerable amusement as the Judge,
and Miss Hagger as Silver Bud, the adolescent
aborigine with red "Jersey"-All squaws wear
them), did what she could with the part. Mrs.
Dickson was especially clever in comedy part,
and Miss DeGrey made an attractive and Inter
estng Irish girl. Mr.. Hunter, Mr. Clifton and
Mr. Bradford filled out the cast acceptably.
''Ranch Ten" will be repeated tonight, tO-mor-
row afternoon and tomorrow night, which con-
cludes the engagement.

II. Paul, one of the Burlington sur
veying corps and correspondent of the
Cedar Rapids Gazette, has an extended
letter in recent issue Of that paper
describing Murray county. Mr.. P.
prefaces his letter with the following
upon the character of the route north
Of here, which is of general interest:
Our first survey is ended and we have
returned to WorthingtOn intending to
start towards Dakota this week. From
Tracy where | wrote last to Goose lake,
twenty three miles north, the country
is all \ man could wish, both for agri-
culture aud railroads. After leaving
Tracy we found the grade 80 easy that
six and seven miles were made daily.
We crossed the Cottonwood river, seven
and one.half miles north Of Tracy
through valley one mile wide, the soil
of which is as good as any in the State.
TIE prairie along here had been burned
by some rascal and several farmers
with their all were burned out. Eleven
miles further north we crossed the Red
wood river and reached Swan and
Goose lakes, two very fine bodies Of
water. Our survey ended on the line
of Redwood and Yellow Medicine coun-
ties, just sixty four Mills and tive
hundred and forty-eight feet: north Of
orthington. Goose lake. one mile
long and three. fourths wide, is the
junction of Lyon, Yellow Medicine and
Redwood counties. and is
COVERED WITH GEESE AND DUCKS.
Many along the route thought we we're
running for Redwood Falls. but our
line stopped twenty-four miles west Of
that town. Here the B., &. II. n. will

course and reach Fargo on the North.

pany have six hundred carloads Of ties
1T Des Moines which they lnIend to haul
to this place during the winter to be
ready to 90 onto the extension of this
road north early as the season will
allow. We would be glad to see the
little road pull on northward next
spring and sincerely hope they will,
but railroad companies never move till
they can make something by moving.
They no doubt will go on in the spring
in time to centest the summer travel

This shows at least that the road will
push on next year. Don't be surprised
to see the Wabash surveyors running a

will probably he built first, but the
main line is projected through Wor-

BABYN BIRTHDAY,

Come, Gertie and Paul and Matte,
Mama has something to say.
Do you know that our blue-eyed baby
Is just year old to-day?
DO you remember how first you saw her
Just one short little year ago.
A little pink face In a bundle of white,
Like rose bud nestled in snow?
And how you all kissed her and wondered
At a creature sodainty and small.
And exclaimed, Surely God must hay
brought her,
As we can't find her wings ut all.
But the days and The weeks flew swiftly
And each day she learned more and mor'
Till soon she crcpt after the sunheams
That glitte red and danced on the floor.
And now for year she's been walking,
And lisping each one OF our names,
And all that she sees you children do
She tries to do just the same.
Iknow that you all think she's cunning,
For oft you cry, Quick, mamma, look,
Baby Is singing to dolly,
Or trying to read out of 4 book.
And now must ask you my darlings,
Ifyou don't think -'twould be very sad,
II the dear pet now so cunning and sweet,
Should ever grow hateful and bad.
IfsO. then you all must be careful
TO be all that is loving and true,
For what ever You do in anger or play
The baby will surely do, too. G..
