A REGULAR sFr-rO.

John n. Hall and +. w. Cousins, citizens OF
North Danville, had regular set-to on Main
street In that town yesterday morning, and the
blows fell thick aud fast for time. The AFFAIR
grew out Of the prohibition meeting Monday
night.
Mayor Slaughter tc-isv investigated the egg
throwing ut tho prohibition meeting Monday
night. John J. Hall was arraigned on the
charge and abont seventeen witnesses were
examined. The Court held that the accused
was guilty OF the charge and fined him e2O, but
he appealed. There Is a considerable stir IN the
North Danvlle section over Monday nights
affair, and the whiskev men and some OF the
vets have issued a cirsular denouncing the
action Of those who threw the eggs and pledging
their aid and support In ferreting out the guilty
parties. Several meetings are in progress In the
town tonight and affairs will grow hotter by to-
morrow night
Rev. T. B. Thames, of the First Baptist church,
OF this city, win speak IN North Danville tc-
morrow night in behalf OF the Drys. The Drys
are very sanguine now, although they admit
matters looked bad up TO Monday night, but the
egg throwing has strengthened their side, ana
they claim that that they will win on Thursday a
decisive victory.

LINNEUS STATUE

placed in position in time for the expo
sition of 1898. The Swedish Linn@an
Monument Association has been the
sole mover in this gift to Chicago of a
beautiful and enduring ornament. OF
this corporation Robert Lindblom is
President and John r. Lindgren
Treasurer, the other officers compris-
ing the best-known Swedes in Chicago.
Cardus Linnaus was born in Sma
lund, the son of the pastor of the par
ish. The boys attention was turned
toward the natural sciences. In these
he soon began to distinguish himself.
In 1929 he was under the instruction
of the great Celsius, for whom he lee
tuned at the university. He started on
his famous trip through Lapland May
%, 1872, and took a long journey
through Northern Europe He pub
lished his great work, "The System of
Nature" in Holland in 1875, and lived
to see the twelfth edition of that epoch
marking volume greatly amplifed in
the hands of his fellow scholars. The
First Principles of Botany" was writ
ten about this time. The next year he
went to England and was invited to
lecture in Oxford University. He de-
voted the rest of his life, however, to
study, research and lecturing in the
University of Sweden. In 1853 he
was decorated by the King with the

and then made bold dasheS for victory.
His great vigilance won him the name
of "Black Snake" from the Indians, and
the vigor OF his fighting when he was
assured of the advantage another of
-~Hurricane. For the same trait he
had long been known as "Nlad Anthony"
Gen. Wayne advanced from Fort Wash
tngton ICincinnati) TO Fort Greenvllo
(Greenville, Ohio, whence he sent a de-
tachment TO take possession of the posi-
zion lost by st. air. ! his was accomplish
ed and fort built called Fort Recovery.
Wayne then continued his advance
against the village Of the Miami tribe
of Indians, and Aug \. 1894, reached
che confluence OF the Auglaize and the
sMiam Of the Lakes" now the Maumee
River, where he erected Fort Defiance,
giving 10 name appropriate to the con-
.ditions OF its building and destined 20

city on the site.

fort Wayne garrisoned and il was occjl-
pied for number of years. Its dimcn-
sions were about 200 by $50 feet, and its
site is now the busiest Tart Of the city of
Toledo, at the intersection Of Monroe
street and Summit avenue. All trace of
it was long ago obiteratcd, but the fact
of its location at the point indicated is
preserved in the designation Of block
of buildings named Fort Industry Block.
IL is proposed to mark the spot by the
erection of granite monument with n
suitable inscription. If the city will
give the privilege of the use of the
street corner for the purpose it is esti-
mated the monument can be PUT in posi-
tion for 5000.
Fort Miami. which was first estab-
lished as trading post in 1850, and oc-
cuped for military purposes subSn-
qucnty by the British, and abandoned
by them after the treaty of 1895, is the
oldest of all these historical points. The
northeastern angle Of the work and
portion of each adjoining curtain, to-
gether with the greater part of the
demlune i'm advance Of tho northern
front, are still in a fair state of preserva-
ton. The river front has been de-
stroyed The site is part Of the plat OF
Maumee City, occupying about five and
a ha'f acres Part of it is orchard IL
is estimated that the site can be pur-
chased for -, 500, and 5000 monu-
mcnt in granite will suffice to mark the
location Of the fort.
Upon the completion Of Fort Industry
General Wayne led his army back up the
river TO the village of the Miamis, and
there, on Oct. -, a fort having been
completed fifteen rounds OF cannon
were fired and the fort named Fort
Wayne, and SO the present city of Fort
Wayne, Ind, was begun. The fort was
