Hard Times for Colored Men In Indiana
Some Years Ago.

Hard Times for Colored Men In Indiana
Some Years Ago.
The lynching of a colored man in Holmes
county, O., by mob, on the ground that he
was a vagrant and suspicious character,
was discussed by company of drummers
around the clerks desk at the Anderson
yesterday. 1t was the UNIVERSAL opinion that
it was a most brutal murder, and the princi-
pals ought to be punished according to law.
One OF the commercial men said he could
remember when his father hired the only
colored man allowed in Allen county, Ind.
It was shortly after the war, and the feeling
was very intense against the blacks When
the famous exodus of colored men to the
West some years ago occurred, the citizens
of Ft Wayne refused to allow the train
men TO change the engine attached to .
train of negroes. They were run into the
country, and another locomotive was sent
after them The drummer said his father
used to have to 60 downtown with his col
ored man to protect him from insults and
bodily harm. Happily this state of affairs
has changed everywhere, except in Holmes
county, o,

Mr. Logan Thinks Owners Of Wells on Town
Lots Won't Make Much.

Mr. Logan Thinks Owners Of Wells on Town
Lots Won't Make Much.
A. b. Logan, the oil and gas operator, left
for Philadelphia last evening, He says the
Mcdonald production is still keeping up in
a remarkable way. The business, however,
will be slow as long as the market is so low.
The most wonderful thing about the field is
that there are few total failures If the wells
are not gushers they are likely to produce
enough gas to pay all ex-
penses. The only people sure
to lose, in Mr.. Logan's opinion, are the
owners of wells on town lots. So many
holes are put down in small space that the
gas is not sufficient to supply them all and
force the oil out. That one will exhaust
the other is inevitable.
A section of the territory south toward
Noblestown has not been drilled and it is
expected that this ground will yield plenty
of grease. If fortunes are made in Nc
Donald, there won't be many lost, which has
not been the rule in other fields.

and also insisted on cutting each shirt
little longer instead of two inches shorter,
as she said, to allow for shrinkage.
But this course would deprive one of
them of a shirt, and without any i'm
mediate prospect of another opportunity
to obtain one. The husband strongly in
sisted on his plan, and urged as reason,
that it would be much better for each one
of them to wear a shirt little shorter
than common than for one OF them to go
without entirely. But the wife just as
strongly insisted on her own way, and
urged how bad it looked for man, q
Lord of creation, to be interfering about
the cutting out Of shirt.
The argument waved warm. The
man urged by the necessities OF the case,
and the woman by her determination to
have her own way.
Various other matters were brought
into the discussion, until it resulted in an
application for a divorce. The wife as
plaintiff, and the chief grounds given,

PRIZE POEM.

/ We hold it meet-in this great natal year
Ringing with paens of the Nations cheer
For him whose genius shed the dazzling ray
That wi0ened 10 the fullness OF day
Yielding the glory OF such splendid fame
To the once sighted honor of his name
That thou, fair Utah, seest the dawning sign
OF that near honor destined to be thine
When the Nations long dim Swallowed sight
Bursts the effulgence OF thy hidden light,
And with its rays-ordained her fate to bless
Compels splendid guerdon and redress
For such neglect as doomed thy gifts to wait
Fer long the honor due their splendid state.
Now, though but family on tn horizon drawn,
Gather the golden llghtngs of the dawn;
Yet with the days feet sweep ascending soon
10 WELD the state and splendor of the noon.
Not long ere yet the Nation eyes shall see
Thy gifts, long garnered, laid upon her knee;
Shallfeel the splendid treasure of thy hills
Whose breast flood of FURNISHED liquid spills.
Course in her veins-a rich, eXhaustless stream
Gifted with glimpsings of Golcondas dream;
Shall know what wealth and health and beauty
lies
Beneath the arches of thine azure skies
The priceless dover Of thy mountain air
Whose subtle nuture-long sustained, shall bear
y race to lend new sinews 10 her strength
To aid her noble genius to it's length;
And sensing all the portent of thy worth,
Shall hail the omen OF thy statehood's birth
Proud by the honor OF thy every claim
To gid her great escutcheon with thy name.
Meet were it. too, this year of jubilee
Growing such natal period, should see
Before the glances of the gathered world
The Nations banner to the skies unfurled-
Blazoned with stars. whose numbered points OF
gold
A proud and glorious message should unfold.
Signing throughout her length and breadth OF
land
The full completed union of her band
OF noble states-a great and matchless whole.
And should she gain the glory Of that goal
Proud shall we view amidst the unbroken line
Of glitthring stars-thy light, fair Utah shine
Not least even now. perchance in time to be
The Jupiter of her great galaxy.

A few days afterwards l happened into

of trial appointed, the meeting house,

duty as court house. The parties ap-
peared, and declared themselves ready for
trial The evidence was given, as al
ready stated, about the shirts, along with
q great deal OF recrimination incident to
such cases, until the case was submitted,
and there was no attorney on either side
to embarass it.
So after much questioning, by the
Judge as to the certainty of both desiring
to separate, and live apart, the court de-
cided to grant the bill, and questions com
menced to be asked, looking to proper
division of the property. 1 1t was ascer-

money was not quite sufficient to buy the
regulation quantity of cloth, but would
lack about yard. But the man being
somewhat of a scholar, calculated that
by each shirt being cut two inches shorter
than usual, they would be able to get
along, and to have each new shirt, and
as the money could not be increased at
that time, it was decided that short
shirt was better than none.
The purchase was made and the cloth
handed over to the wife to cut out the
shirts, the husband standing by to super
intend and explain. But the good wife
refused to allow interference of any kind,
