MOUNT VERNON, IND, July 3.-This
morning Samuel Melvin, of Kentucky, be-
came suddenly ferocious and on Greenburg
street held at bay all the farm wagons that
were coming in town. He had long bowie
knife and threatened to kill all who at
tempted to pass. Some twenty-five wagons
We're blockaded by the desperate man. He
attacked Tony Gasper's wagon and turned
the horses and wagon over, nearly
killing the horses. Then he attacked
Casper with his knife, inficting wounds
upon him, but not serious. For three hours
he held score of people in the narrow
lane, and in the most vicious manner yelled
and attacked any one near him. He was a
powerfully built man, and no one felt brave
enough to approach him. Finally Lou King,
Andy Musser and Tom McAGams closed in
on him and a desperate struggle ensued.
For time it seemed that the desperate man
would kill them all, but he was brought to
the ground by powerful blow by Andy
Musser. The mel tied him with ropes and
carried him in spring wagon to the Jail.

Things Tending to Make Married People
Happier.
1t is said that married people would
be happier if home trials were never
told to neighbors; if they kissed and
made up after every quarrel; if house,
hold expenses were proportional to re-
ceipts; if they tried to be as agreeable
as in courtship days; if each would try
to be a support and comfort to the
other; if each remembered the other
was human being and not an angel
If women were as kind to their hus:
bands as they were to their lovers; if
fuel and provisions were laid in during
the high tide of summer work; if both
parties remembered that they married
for worse rs well as for better; if men
were as thoughtful for their wives as
they were for their sweethearts; if
there were fewer silks and velvet
street costumes, and more plain, tidy
house dresses; if there were fewer
please, darlings'' in public and more
common manners in private; if wives
and husbands would take some pleasure
as they 60 along and not degenerate

SPRING WHEAT IN BETTER SHAPE.
The report of spring VIII at is more fav-
orable. The disposition last autumn to re-
duce its breadth, on account of the low
price, was checked by the loss of winter
wheat area, and later by British-RuSsian
war rlimors. Substantially the same area
has been seeded AZ last year; about eleven
million acres in Northern New England,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and
all the Territories. The acreage compares
with that of 1884 as follows: Maine, 9S;
New Hampshire, 81; Vermont, 101; Wis

JACKSON AND NATIONAL AID.

Those who oppose national aid to
education only show the weakness OF
their position when they indulge in
personal abuse of Senator jackson.
When they can't answer his able argu-
ment on this subject they stand on
their hind legs and howl: "He favored
the 1908"
The 1908, fortunately, hasn't any
thing to do with the educational ques-
ton and neither has Senator Jackson's
political record.
There are other prominent Demo
Gratis who give as strong an adherance
to this measure as Senator Jackson
does, and, indeed, his enemies have
urged that his Columbia speech was a
rehash OF what had been said by them
in the Senate.
The Congressional Record shows
that the following Democrats voted
for the bill:
Brown, Pugh, Garland, Call, Col
quit, Jones, Williams, Jonas, Ransom,
George, Hampton, Jackson and Ken
na-l3
The following Democrats stated
they were paired, but would have
voted for the bill had the gentlemen
with whom they were paired been
present:
Gibson, Camden, Lamar, Vance,
Voorhees, and Walker-G.
This makes nineteen Democrats
who favored the passage of the bill,
out of 36 Democratic senators.
The following Democrats voted
against the bill:
Bayard, Butler, Coke, Groome, Har-
ris, Maxey, Morgan, Pendleton and
Saulsbury-9.
Democrats paired who would have
voted against the bill:
Cockrell, Beck, Farley, Mcpherson,
Vest, Slater-6.
Paired, but not stated how he would
have voted:
GOrman-L
II will thus be seen that 10 Demo
cratic senators favored its passage and
10 opposed it, while one was non
committal.
the Republicans were also divided
ON the measure, one of its most deter
mined opponents being that chief of
South haters, John Sherman.

The excursionists from the North
under the guidance of Col Robert

TIL OF this month. They will come
directly to Jackson, and from there
here, without stopping. GAINESVILLE
will be the first point reached in Mid
die Tennessee, and Commissioner Nc.
Whittier will meet the excursionists
here and extend them a welcome to
this section of the state.
There are not likely to be more than
one hundred in the party, probably
not half so many. They will come
chiefly from Iowa and Illinois, and
will be editors of papers and men who
are prospecting for homes in the South.
Whatever difference of opinion may
prevail as to the necessity of this ex-
cursion and the good that is to come
from it, no harm is to be feared,
and the excursionists should be given
a hospitable reception.

THE ELECgI0Ns.

The result OF the election last Tues
day gives the unterrified Democracy
great cause for rejoicing. The admin
istration is endorsed in its first year,
which il a rare occurrence; the great
State OF New York, the pivotal State, has
been carried on square party fight
without aid from the Mugwumps.
Virginia frees herself from the polu-
ting graspof Malone and maintains the
phalanx of the solid South.
The Republican party is really a
posthumous concern, living on the
memory of its past achievements, and
the result of Tuesdays election, shows
how impossible it will be to perpetu-
ate it. Democracy has come to stay.
If it ever again departs from power
it will be when sectional issues are no
more heard of, and the party that de-
poses it will be younger and more Wig
orous than that which seeks to subsist
on recollections of the war.
The most gratifying feature of the
Democratic success in New York is
the assurance it gives that the preju-
dices which Republicanism fostered
are loosing their hold on the best ele-
ments at the North. The most felici-
tous result of all the elections is that
the demagogue and false prophet oil
progress, Malone, has been laid away
n his grave.
Hill was elected governor of New
York by about $1,000 majority. Lee
is elected in Virginia by probably 3d.
600 and the legislature in that State is
two-thirds Democratic on joint ballot.
The Republicans retain majority in
the New York legislature.

Rhea county. Miss Sallie Newly, a
beautiful young lady of that place
died about two weeks ago very mys-

death were suppressed and not until
Monday did the truth become known
On her dying bed she told her terrible
secret to her family physician, under
his promise to guard her confession
sacredly, but Monday he was prevailed
upon to disclose the truth. For some
months past young man named Joe
Hicks had been paying devoted atten-
ton to the young lady. He persuaded
her into a secret marriage, under pre-
! tense that his mother would oppose
the match. He inveigled her into an
adjoining county and, with the assist
ance of a confederate, had mock Ger.
emony performed. About a month
afterward he began administering
medicine, and the young girl gradually
wasted away. When it was too late
she discovered that she was being
murdered by slow poison, and died in
commissions. The villain who accom-
plished her ruin has fed the country
