A Young SCHOOL, Teacher Becomes Demented
While on Duty In His School-Room.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
GLENwooD, May 14-George Wiles, school
teacher and very estimable young man, while in
discharge of his duties in the schoolroom yester-
day afternoon, suddenly began to shoW unmis-
taxable signs of mental arrangement. He pro-
duced some newspapers from his pocket and
read several kilograms and various other arti-
cles, interrupting himself occasionally by fool
ish remarks about himself, under the i'm
preston that he was watched by detectives
and was in danger of being arrested The
children became greatly frightened and fed in a
body from the premises, leaving young Wiles
talking wildly, but making no threatening dem
onstrations. Word was hastily conveyed TO his
friends, who came and persuaded him to go
home He had been acting rather strangely for
several days, laboring under the detective hal
Inclination. His family is one of the oldest and
best known in Fayette county, and personally
the young man has been considered above re-
proach. He is unmarried and about thirty
years of age. His case will probably be sub
mitted to commission to-day.

Ond workings, for their condition
is such it would be impossible, but
we can do the best we can in carry
ing out the spirit of the law, and
in a few years greatly improve the
condition Of the roads in onr coun-
ty. The same law has beenin force
in Wilkinson county since 1882, and
if we are to believe our Judge, Dis
trict Attorney members of the Leg
islature from that county, and the
President of the Board of Super
visors, as we'll as other prominent
citizens, the condition of the roads
is greatly improved under it, and
the people well satisfied. At least
no effort has been made to repeal
the law. Let US give it trial and
then if our people are not in favor
of good roads, or believe as some
do, that the law "is unjust, oppres-
sive and discriminating" at the
next meeting of the Legislature in
struct our Representatives to repeal
it. But it is a dangerous precedent
for any body of good citizens to
openly defy the law or disregard its
mandate. 1t is the entering wedge
and is calculated to lead others into
acts of lawlessness, and sometimes
ends in the committing of grave
offences. Better tolerate the law
for awhile, even though unjust and
offensive, than to set such an ex-
ample. 1t is the law that protects
US in our homes, our property. our
lives and our liberty. 1t is the law
that watches over our school houses,
our churches, and keeps our civil
ization from drifting back into the
rudeness of barbaric days.

Arrest the Burglar!


The following is a description of
the person recently arrested in
Newton county, in this State, and
having on his person the Masonic
seal with the name of IN. D. Cor
coran" on it, the same having been
stolen from W. Y. Webb & Co., at
the time of the safe burglary;
The thief called himself Jim
Williams, but had letters in his
pocket written by himself signed
J. P. Hodges, also q letten written
to j. P. Hodges. He seemed to
be about 40 years old, about 5 feet
10 inches high, and will weigh
about 1870 pounds. Hair very light
and cut close, light red mustache
and goatee, gray eyes, rather sharp
visage, laughs and talks freely,
does not show his teeth when he
laughs; loves whisky and coffee.
Had ON when captured a black
frock coat and vest of diagonal
goods, blue denims pants, and fine
white wool hat, with two small
cords around it. His left wrist is
stiff from a wound above it, and
he has been wounded in the back.
He had a full set of tools in his
saddle bags, brace and bits, etc.
Also had in his possession a fine
silk umbrella, with nickel plated
handle.
The above described party was
arrested in Newton county, for
stealing a saddle, liberated on a
5000 bond, and left for parts un-
known. He is believed TO be the
party who robbed the safe of w.
Y. Webb & Co., several weeks
since, and for whom a reward is
offered.

afterwards in New York, where he
CHANGED to repeat these coinei-
dences in the presence of several
persons who were listeners. One
of them, an elderly gentleman,
arose and remarked that he was
happy to be able to confirm the
facts as given by Mr.. Dixon, as he
was the chaplain at Fort Smelling
at the time, and was fully able to
corroborate each statement. An
other bystander added; "Mr. Lin
coin had often been heard to say
that the first time he ever took the
oath of allegiance to the United
States it was administered to him
by Jefferson Davis"
The Southern herald., 1886-08-07
Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.

The Rev. DR.. Harsha, of Omaha,
narrates the following incident as
told to him by John Dixon, of
Dixon, Illinois:
Gen. Winfield Scott, when a
young man, was stationed at Fort
Smelling, at the time perhaps the
remotest outpost of the United
States. When the Indian outbreak
known as the Blackhawk war was
inaugurated, some militia from H.
linois proffered their services TO
aid in conquering the savagos.-
With q view to mastering them
into the service of the United
States two lieutenants were sent
by Scott to the then village of
Dixon. One of these was o very
fascinating, good looking, easy
hammered, affable, and fluent young
gentleman. The other was equally
pleasant looking, but an exceed
ingly modest young man.
On the morning when the mus
tering in was to take place a tall,
gawky, slabsided, homely young
man, dressed in a home made suit
of blue jeans, presented himself
to the two lioutenants as the cap
tain of the recruits and was duly
sworn in. This was he who after
wards became President of the
United States-the lamented Lin
coin. One of the lieutenants, the
modest youth, was he who fired
the first gun from Sumter, Major
Anderson. The other, and he who
administered the oath, was in after
years President of the Southern
Confederacy-Jeffer Davis.
Corroborative Of Dixon's story,
DR.. Harsha relates that he was

Location of Schools.

The School Board met on Mon
day, at the office of the County
Superintendent, and labored faith
fully in the discharge of its deli
cate but responsible duties. Each
member had previously canvassed
his district and came to the meet
ing prepared with the necessary
information. The number of dis
tricts established and schools To-
Gated was reduced from ninety six
to sixty nine-making the number
of schools nearly one third less
than they are now. So far as
known, the work of the Board
meets with general approval
Possibly there may be some that
are not satisfied, but when the diff
ficuliies of the undertaking are
duly considered, the impossibility
of satisfying everybody will lie
readily seen. The Board has la
bored faithfully to discharge the
trust committed to it, and we think
has as nearly succeeded as circum-
stances would permit.
