SILLY LITTLE THINGS,
why Trifies Should Never BE Made the
Cause Of Quarrel.

Cause Of q Quarrel.
What absurd little things people
quarrel about! What trivial matters
cause ill-feeling in families! The NUT
ton being roasted too little or the beef
too much; an opinion about the tenn
perature of the house or the style of
curtains that ought to be bought for
the front windows; the definition of
a word or its pronunciation, are things
that might be argued pleasantly about,
but surely are not topics worth quar-
rel when peace and good will are of so
much Importance in the home. A little
ill-feeling is like seed that may grow
into large tree which will shadow the
whole house. Many a man and woman
must look back with regret on the
hasty word or the cold reproach which
was the entering wedge that split a
household in two, and yet how few
make point of uttering the soft word
that turneth away wrath! Quarreling
is one of the original sins, suppose,
for the babies sitting on the floor will
fail out over their toys. and one will
push down the block tower that the
other has built with great pains; and
there will be name called and a
face made" and slap given, and
mamma will be called to settle a quar-
rel, and no truth can be got at, for
each is right N his own estimation, and
each has been wronged by the other.
So it is through life. A reasonable
quarrel about great matters may be
settled, and the parties made friends
again; but little tiffs about nothing are
such foolish. intangible affairs, that
reason can not overcome them Chris.

A VICTIM OF APOPLEXY.
Hon. Oscar B. Hord Is Suddenly Stricken and
Lies in Very Critical Condition.

Hon. Oscar b. Hord was stricken with apo
plexy, yesterday morning, just after he had
reached his law Office. The stroke resulted in

o'clock, and on his way down stopped to see DR..
Henry Jameson about his throat trouble.
He was given a prescription, and went
on to his office. Soon after arriving there
he complained of his left leg having feeling OF
numbness. and he walked back and forward
across the room several times for the purpose of
getting up circulation of blood. Albert Baker,
one of the partners of the firm. noticed that Mr..
Hord's left foot seemed to be dragging. A mo-
ment afterward Mr. Hord asked for assistance
to a chair, saying he was unable to walk longer.
Drs Hodges and Jameson were summoned
and he vas Immediately removed to his home.
He sank into stupor, and remained in that
condition all afternoon and last night. When
aroused he was conscious For several hours
after the stroke there was a severe hemorrhage
Of the brain. but last night the physicians
ceeded in checking it. and unless it returns
there is some hope for his recovery. Should he
recover mis- entire left side will be totally para
lyzed.
Mr. Hord's two sons were away from home
when he was stricken, one being at Terre Haute
and the other at Charlottesville, but both were

AN EXPLANATION BY THE GOVERNOR
Why the Salaries of Harrison and Gapen as
Insane Hospital Trustees Were Not Paid.

IL has been intimated that it was inconsistent
on the part of Governor Gray and the State
officers admit, IN ordering warrants issued
upon their vouchers, that Harrison and Gapen
are de facto officers OF the Insane Asylum board
of trustees, and yet refuse to allow their sal
aries as such to be paid Governor Gray. when
asked yesterday about his position in regard to
the matter. said: ut is Just this way: There is
stitutiou, and the money paid to Harrison and
Gapen goes TO the men who furnished the pro-
visions and who are in no way connected
with the management of the institution. In re-
gard to the salaries of Harrison and Gapen,
that Is different matter Officers have been
legally appointed. as / think. to fill the positions
which they have refused toivacate. If the Su-
preme Court sustaius my appointments of Car
son and Flack. think they would be entitled to
salaries from the date of their appointments,
and If that is true it is not right for the State
TO pay two salaries for tie same Office. Until

Supreme Court should confirm the Governors
appointments and decide that Harrison aud

date which the vacation of their Offices

A Big Well for the Trust.

special to the INDIANAPOLIS journal
NoBLEsvILLE, Jan. 10-The completion of
natural-gas wells of ordinary capacity in this
vicinity is Of such frequent occurrence that it
does not attract any special at rention 1t is not
quite year since the first discovery Of gas in
the Noblesville field, and there to- day no
less than fifty wells completed and quite num-
Der in course of drilling. The largest and most
powerful we'll yet drilled in this field, and one
that is believed to be the largest well outside of
the Pennsylvania field. has just been completed
by the Consumers Gas Trust of indianapolis,
on the farm of H L. Granger, two miles east of
this city. AS an evidence of the terrific force
with which the gas escapes from the open
mouth of the well, it may be mentioned that a
lady who visited the well ventured close enough
to reach her hand over the casing in order to
ascertain with what force the gas escaped; her
apron swung forward, and being caught in the
current. a large piece was whipped off and went
through the top of the derrick The lady left
the derrick glad to escape, and has not ventured
back. The roar of the gas is so loud that per-
sons can nc5 talk to each other to be heard
and the workmen compelled to work by
signals or gestures. Out of the whole fifty
wells that have been drilled in this field there
has not been a single failure. neither has any
saltwater been found. Pipe lines are being
laid from the various wells TO connect with the
trunk line for Indianapolis.
