White Caps In Waba.h.

WABASH. Feb. 24-lSpecial. THE town
of Lagro. five miles east of Wabash, was
under reign of terror yesterday, and there
Is prospect OF more trouble to come. A
good many people there have been scand-
allied by the actions of Thomas Hurley
and his wife, who have been conducting
a questionable house. Several DAYS ago
a party Of seven or eight men disguised as
white caps went to the house, read the
riot act and then stripped all the clothes
from the woman and covered her body
with ali manner Of indignities They did
not heed this invitation to move, and yes
terday afternoon several young men took
possession of the town, visited the Hurley
house and again repeated the request 10
leave. Hot and high works few fast and
thick, and for an hour or more every street
in the town was deserted The young
men claim that the Hurley's will go now.
LAGRo. Feb. 26.-ISpeciaI. The dis
patch sent out from Wabash that a band
Of white caps had gathered at the house Of
man named Harley near here and
heaped indignities on his wife is a very
false statement of very trivial affair.
There are no white caps in this section
and there were no indignities heaped upon
Harley's wife. A few Young fellows gath
cred in front of the house and were some
what hilarious and disorderly in their con-
duct but that was all there was in it.

A GREAT FARMERS TRUST
TO CONTROL WHEAT AND LIVE STOCK
Option Dealing TO Be- Knocked Out by the
Scheme-Business Men and Ant
ance mt War-A Fatal Bank
FRilure-NOtes.

TOPEKA, Kas., March "A new alliance
movement contemplates the formation of
a huge grain and live stock trust, inc!ud-
ing Nebraska, Kansas. Missouri and Iowa
Frank McGrath, president of the farmers
al lance, says that the project is one of
the results OF the failure of the alliance
legislatures to pass certain bills. Leglsla-
ton, he says, is too slow means for the
achievement ofthe alliances objects. Mr..
McGrath says that district alliances are
being formed in every congressional dis
trict and provision is being male for build
ing cold storage and grain depots. Each
district alliance will be made up of dele
gates from sub-alliances. In this way a
constant Communication from individual
members OF the alliance is TO be had. Mr..
McGrath said:
We will know how many cattle each individ.
ual member OF the alliance has on hand, and
he can hold them without selling for need OF
ready cash. a record of these facts will be
kept. No individual member will sell his
grain to option men or brokers. but when he IL
obliged to sell the grain viii be taken by the
! alliance. The same thing will follow with
cattle. We will have agents In Kansas City,
Chicago and St. Louis who will keep the
| OletTlct alliances informed e 10 tho
| market and the demand. Upon this
information the demand Will be
supplied aud no more. At fixed price de-
termined by the alliance. No option wheat
will be on the market. There will be no specu-
leting in grain before harvest The four states
in this trust vi practically control the wheat
ana cattle markets of the Tn ted States. The
commission each day will wire farmers TO sead
in a certain amount of wheat cattle as the
case may be. calling the ones who are hard
&c: pressed for cash. The amonnt demanded
, to supply the market that day will he ap.
pOrtioned among the districts equally aud in
turn apportoned by the district alliance. No
farmer who is a member of the alliance will
sell his products till called upon. By this plan
wide fluctuations in prices will be avoided.
/ Other state alliances are expected to join the
movement.
The hardest thing VIC have to deal with 10
/ fixing the price. We mean TO ascertain the
exact cos; of the product aud add a reasonable
/ profit TO II. This will give US n standard price
/ that Gun be easily maintained. The new
4 scheme is modelled in detail after the whisky
/ trust. OF course yOu viii say that our prnci-
| pies will not admit of il, but we have decided
| that we must fight the devil with fire; that 10,
We must fight trusts and combinations With
trusts and combinations. While this scheme
Will reverse matters by putting the stock met
and grain men at our mercy, we do no. think
| any injury will result. The scheme loOkG
visionary perhaps, but will surely be a 20.

CONDENSED COMMUNICATIONS.

"a Farmer" writes from Chambersburg
denouncing the fee and salary bill. as it
passed the house, as a sham; denounclng
the appellate court bill and opposing an
appropriation for an Indiana exhibit at
the worlds fair.
George Berry of Brookville writes The
SENTINEL: al recollect every democratic
state convention held since 1916, but the
next will develop more fun than any OF
its predecessors"
J. T. Newgent, writes from Clinton
Falls, saying that the greatest amount OF
wear on the roads is from the heavy laden
wagons used in conveying the materials
for and productions of woodworking mil Is.
He suggests that a wagln-load of lumber
or timber be limited TO four hundred feet
for wagon with narrow tired and five
hundred feet for a wagon with broad tired
wheels aud that grain. gravel, ETC., should
be limited by its weight in pounds.
"Succor," writing from Nortonburg COM
plains of the injustice OF our road laws,
saying that the farmers are compelled to
keep them in repair while people who live
in cross-road villages and use them most
do nothing toward their maintenance. He
suggests that the law be so amended that
ali owners of teams shall be made to con-
tribute to the support OF the roads, and
that road supervisors be replaced by one
competent man in each township who
will have charge OF this matter.
A correspondent at Anderson writing
over the signature of democrat" says
that the demand of the people is for the
immediate taking effect of the fee and
salary act. The result OF having this law
take effect four years years hence will be
to kill all effort at reform in this direction.
He condemns the increase of salaries from
what they were in the original bill and
declares that it is unreasonable to allow
men to make fortunes viii in Office who
were never able to accumulate money by
their unaided efforts before their official
term. He concludes By asserting that if
an emergency clause is not attached TO
the fee aud salary bill and the governor
vetoes it, it will mean certain disaster to
the democratic party OF Indiana in the
future.

Death ofGen. Stone.

WINCHESTER, Feb. 25.-[Special. Gen.
Asahel Stone, one OF the eldest and best
citizens of this city, died at his residence
ct an early hour this morning, aged sev-
enty-three. Gen. Stone was among the
most public spirited men Of this city and
has always contributed literally OF his
means to all public and charitable insttu-
tione. He was the donor and founder of
Fountain park cemetery, which is an
honor to his name and to the city OF Win
chester.
[Gen. Asahel Stone was born in Washington
county Ohio. June %, 1917. After finishing
his education in the common schools Of Cincin-
natl, his natural fondness fog mechanics led
him to adopt the business of his father, who
was an extensive contractor and builder. In
1917 he was elected to the legislature as a wbig,
and IN 1860 was elected to the state sens.s, also
serving IN the extra session of 1851. In 1862 he
was appointed quarter-masier-genera. OF the
stale. which position he held with honor until
his resignation in 1867. In 1873 he was again
elected 70 the Legislature. de was married In

ter, but the battle over. he for shaking
be nds with good humor that had in il no
mixture of guile. II he has left enemies he
has passed away hating none. Without pre-
Vious experience OF public life, Mr.. Hearst
the miner and man Of business. went TO the
senate, and although in that body he spoke
seldom. he brought to his duties a conscen-
tiousness and an industry that made him highly
useful 10 his people in his committee work.
The sturdy good sense Of the man. his knowl-
edge of affairs and particularly OF the needs n
the Pacific coast. more than compensated his
constituents for deficiencies public speak

the best men in IL became bis friends, as good
men did everywhere.

ROME, March 1.-The great event of the
season here was the reception given 10
American residents OF Rome last night by
Mr.. Porter, the u. S. minister. Invitations
had been sent to all the Americans in
Rome, including those who have become
allied TO Italian families by marriage. The

All the American consuls in Italy have
joined in report to the government OF
the condition of trade between Italy and
the United States with view to calling
the attention of American merchants to
the opening afforded here for an extension
OF their foreign commerce. The consu Is,
both in the northern and southern por-
tons of Italy, are confident that the sub
ject has been presented in such a manner
that il cannot fail to command public at =
tention. The people of Italy, the report
says, are favorsbly disposed toward Amer
lean products.
Queen Margaret yesterday visited the
foundry to see the statue OF the American
republic and groups representing the
army and navy designed for a soldiers
and sailors monument TO be erected at

The Mitchell Trustee Case.

MITCHELL, Feb. 24.-[special. Judge
Hawk of New Albany today decided the
trustee contest between Hugh L. Kimber-
lin and Henry Tawe OF this place, in favor
of Tawe, the former trustee. This case
has been one of peculiar interest. Last
April Tawe ran for second term against

majority, but Brown dropped dead before
the votes were counted out. At The No
vember election Tawe was again defeated
by Kimberlin, but he still claimed the
office. Kimberlin qualified. but could not
act until the matter wac settled. He will
now take the case to the supreme court.
