LOSING OUR BLACK WA1Nur.-A co

LOSING OUR BLACK WALNUr.-A compa- ny of English capitalists, with whom a wealthy combination in Indianapolis is CO., operating, have been for year and more quietly getting possession of all the black walnut timber it has been possible to buy, and are now shipping it to England. The company has had buyers out gathering up walnut trees wherever they could be found In many cases the farmers have disposed of their trees at prices far below their value, and it has only been regent ly that they have become aware of the scheme that is to take out of the country the most of the remaining black walnut timber in 1t. The consequence is that all the walnut the company now buy costs them double the price they were paying few months ago. Ii the original forests of Ohio and Indiana were noW standing, their valua- ton would be many times more than it is to-day under improvement Tn making their farms the settlers in these states de- stroyed millions and millions of dollars worth of black walnut, and the destruc- ton ceased not more than twenty years ago. The English company will send to England probably $5,OOO,OOO worth of walnut that they have purchased from the farmers at almost nominal prices. -Ihe Builder.

The raising of the Enfield dam is said to have practically ruined shad- fishing on the Suffield shore. But far up the river fond memories, says the Springfield Union, cling about Double Ditch, and the ripple of the river water along the pebbles that fringe it's banks and the silver glitter of the shad as they rolled over and over as the nets were drawn in shore, are things that will be treasured up by the frequent CTS of that place. It is related of man in the far west who expressed longing de- sire to taste once more Double Ditch shad before he died The attendants were perplexed, but happy thought struck one of them. He took a full paper of pins, fried it up crisp ill pan of fat, brought it to the sick man. He took mouthful, a smile illumined his features, and he ex- claimed "It is, indeed, Double Ditch shad-the same old bones"

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Subcommittee Making Arrange
ments for the Holding of the
National Convention.

CHICAGO, April "a meeting of the sub
committee of the national Republican com
mittee was held here this afternoon, for the
purpose Of arranging the preliminaries for
the coming national convention Hon. John
c. New, Indiana, John A. Martin, Kansas,
and John II. Clough, proxy for Senator
Logan, were present. New also held proxy
for Powell Clayton, Arkansas. The plans
for the convention hall, made by the musical
festival committee, was adopted with modi-
fication, increasing the seating capacity of
the gallery, so that the hall will accommodate
between 5000 and 5000, exclusive of the
platform for delegates, which has seating
capacity of LOCO. Provision has been made
for the daily press of the country upon
as liberal a basis as possible, and
a reportorial force of about 600
can be accommodated. Applications from
the daily press for seats will be considered by
the subcommittee at the next meeting
Inasmuch as the whole country is to be pro
vided for, it will be expected the daily news
papers will only apply for such numbers of
seats as may be absolutely necessary. The
committee calls attention to the fact that the
associated press will make full and COM
plete reports of every detail and transaction
of the convention, for which it will have
ample facilities. Journals wanting accom-
mOdations for special reports, should apply
to the subcommittee, addressing Hon. John
G. New, chairman, Indianapolis, within
thirty days. Owing to the restricted accom-
modations the committee found it impos-
sible to make any provision for the weekly
press of the country.

Legends of lie Mars"

LIE MARS, Ia, April 5.-Howard C. Trip,
a popular poet and magazine writer, was shot
and mortaily wounded by an unknown
person while he was standing On the corner
of Main and Sixth streets on Wednesday
evening. The cause of the shooting
was the publication of ten cent
pamphlet by Mr.. Trip called
Legends of LIE Mars.'' He inserted
several poems and sketches of personal ma
ture in his book, greatly to the disgust and
chagrfn of his enemies. He has been warn ed
several times that he would be killed if he
did not leave this part of the country, but he
did not heed these threats, and he paid the
penalty of his rashness by
giving his life. He died
Thursday morning. An inquest was held
over his remains Thursday morning, and
the coroner decided that he came to his
death from gunshot wounds at the hands
of a person unknown. Some excite
ment prevails and his murderer will
probably be lynched if caught. Mr.. Trip
was only % years of age, yet he was good
writer and was respected by all who knew
him as a friend He had published several
works of acknowledged worth

yesterday afternoon at Market hall, for the

as $500 being offered in one instance offered
in one instance for stand which last year

Snyder block was carried by large vote, but
the meeting kept ON discussing at great
length The meeting was finally adjourned

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Ten Years Wedded.

Captain aud Mrs. 4. G. WilcOc Surprised
Ten Years Wedded.
| The surprise given Captain and Mrs. A.
G. Wilcox Monday evening last, March 81
it being the occasion of their tenth wedding
anniversary, by Mr.. and Mrs. Valentine G
Hush, at their beautiful and elegant home
was one of the most delightful and pleasing
society events which has taken place in this
city for a long while. A large number were
present. being for the most part intimate
personal friends of the interested parties,
among whom we mention Mr.. and Mrs Eli
Terrence, Mr.. and Mrs. John P. Rea, Mr.
and Mrs. R. P Henderson, Mr.. and Mrs. L.
L. Longbrake, Mr.. and NIrs'J E. Guild, Hon.
and Mrs. George A. Pillsbury, Capt. and
B. Hush, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Cornelius, Mr..
and Mrs. John Thornburgh, Mr. and Mrs
j. H. Kerrick, Rev. and Mrs. w. A. James,
Miss Jennie Dickinson, Indianapolis. The
presents were numerous and appropriate to
the occasion, so much so, indeed, that il
will certainly be another full decade before
they will need or desire another supply OF
WI. DuucI, Illc well huOWu cater
er, furnished an elegant suppe: while Danz's
orchestra discoursed, as it always does, the
best and sweetest of music.
To add to the whole it is worth while to
mention the host and hostess of the evening,
Mr.. and Mrs. V. G.. Hush, whose elegant and
refined home seemed so appropriate and we'll
fitted to honor the surprised and assembled
guests. One of the incest features of the
evening was the presentation to each guest of
a handsomely decorated tin palette, the work
of Miss Clara Howells, who maintains, de-
servedly, an enviable position among our
local artists. The evening was spent in plays,
innocent social games, charades, promenad-
ing, vocal and instrumental music. Refer
ring to the last mentioned we incidentally
note the very delightful duet and encore
rendered by Captain and Mrs. John G..
Woolley, song by Mrs Alfred B. Hush, and
performance on the violin by Mr.. Hush's
little girls, Misses Estelle and Hattie Alto
gether it was most pleasant affair." and
when it came to the time to depart all felt
that it was an evening happily spent, and no
one went away without wishing the groom
and bride, Capt. and Mrs. A. G. Wilcox,
many recurring wedding anniversaries, and
that no one of them might be less enjoyable
than their tenth.
