there the picture of wretchedness and
| despair and listened TO the awful charge.
| When done reading Judge Heron asked
| in trembling tones: Are you guilty or
not guilty as charged in the indict-

| wretchedneSs and misery the culprlt an

1t was an awful moment and will never
/ be forgotten by the vast crowd present.
Stones last words here were: If you

l did the killing myself. No one helped
me- He pleaded with his attorney af-
ter sentence to save his life, if possible,
! still claiming he was not in his right
/ mind when he committed the murder.
Said also that he got up one night to

| was deferred from the act by stumbling

A Charlestown dispatch says the grave
of Jonathan Jennings. first governor of
| Indiana, has finally been located in the
old burying ground situated west of that
town. j. NJ. VanHOok of Florida has
! taken a great deal of interest in locating
the grave OF lndiana's first governor and
has obtained overwhelming evidence in
! favor of the spot in the old cemetery as
! the last resting place of Governor Jen-
nings. NJ p. Alpha, William Patterson
| and Mrs. Jane Keys of CharlestOwn and
| old residents of Charlcstown, all agree
| upon the location and their evidence set
ties the question be~ond peradventure.
/ The last session of the legislature appro-
priated sum of money to be used to
purchase a suitable monument to Gov
ernor Jennings's memory, and the fol-
| lowing commissioners were appointed by
the governor to make and close contracts
for the monument: NJ. B. Cole, Judge
G. II. d. Gibson and the Hon. H. F.
| Work, all of this place. The commits
! siOners have let the contract to John
! Walsh of Montgomery. Ind, and he has
given assurance that the monument will
be ready for dedication Dec. 4. Mr..
Cole, one of the commissioners expressed
the opinion that it was the desire to
have the remains removed to the new
cemetery, where d place has been pro-
vided. The remains of Governor Jen-
nings have lain in the present lonely
! tomb since 1894. Many attempts have
been made to locate his grave, but not
until recently have they been success

AS the organ fight at IngersoH chapel
has become quite heated and as we are
| situated in a position to know, we con-
clude to give the readers a few facts:
To find the sentiment on this question
/ a paper was circulated and an over
whelming majority for the organ was
! the result We cannot give the exact
| figures, but they are near 60 for
! against IL who oppose il. The organ
| faction might have been increased to 20
| had all who favored ii signed the paper.
The organ was left in the church for
trial and at the same time the organizes
| argued that the organ would not stand
| between any Christian and his Cod
| while the anti-organites claim they can
! not worship God and pray with an
! organ in the house. Some of the Of
ficers gave permission for the organ and

were making a bitter fight; being in
close communication with two preachers
! of their views. Had not these people
| received the teachings of one man, the
organ would enter without an objec-
| ton. The organ destroyed was GER
| in the fight. The organistS are saying
little. but are working with a deter
mination, as they have a majority.
| They intend to place an organ in the
house regardless of threats. The recent
act of destruction has made the organ
lists friends, and people heretofore I'M
interested will give them assistance
| There are many minor principles in the
! fight. which show a spirit contrary TO
! the one in Christ, but we pass on and
wait for the end.-CovingtOn Friend.
The following is a summary of field
| experiments with wheat, at the agri
| cultural experiment station Of Purdue
| university at lafayette, Ind. by Prof.
! w. c. Latta, agriculturist of the station;
| Experiments covering ten years, with
| many varieties of wheat, do not indicate
| any tendency Of wheat to deteriorate or
run out" provided proper care is eX-
! ercised. No wheat has proven rust
| proof here. Bearded and smooth va
! rieties appear TO be equally susceptible
| TO rust Early wheats are generally less
| injured by rust than the later kinds.
I Singing smut may be easily destroyed,
| but no remedy for the loose smut of
| wheat has been discovered. The proven
| tive of loose smut is sowing unaffected
seed wheat upon uninfected ground. 1t
/ pays to SOW a liberal quantity of seed
| eight pecks per acre having given best
| results at the station, In this latitude
! it is better 10 sow wheat no later than
Sept. 20. Moving wheat in spring to
! prevent too great rankness Of growth
has thus far proved improbable. The
| value of crop rotation. in maintaining
| Yields of grain, has been strongly en-
| phasiZed. Liberal fertilizers to wheat
have not, as a rule, proved profitable
Applications of fresh horse manure to
| wheat have generally returned the cost
of the manure in the first crop and the
| improved condition Of the soil for future
! crops adds something more to the credit
| of the manure Experiments indicate
that wheat may be harvested at any
time after it reaches the dough" stage
until dead" ripe, without affecting, APP
| probably, the weight or yield of the
grain.
duel was fought near Nenpeck, Deer
| Creek township. Friday afternoon, the
| particulars of which were given to the
| Pharos reporter Tuesday. 1t seems that
| Robert Campbell and Mat Mcdonald
| two inhabitants Of that locality, got into
| a dispute some time ago over the settle
| ment of an account and parted in bad
! humor Friday, upon being told that
| Mcdonald had threatened to kill him,
! Campbell put a revolver in his pocket
| and went cunning" for his mortal
| enemy Mcdonald learned that Camp
! bell was looking for him with a gum
| and arming himself with a Ratchet, be-
| gan to reconnOiter. Mcdonald opened
| hostilities. Observing that Campbell was
! armed with a revolver, he began the at
| tack at long range. Raising the Ratchet
| he hurled it with terrific force at his ad-
| Versary. Campbells agility saved his
| life for true to the owners aim, the
| weapon sailed through the air and would
| have struck him full in the face had he
| not caught the force of the blow on his
| right arm. The blade Of the Ratchet cut
! an ugly cash in his arm, from which the
| blood flowed freely. His revolver fell
from his grasp, but he picked it up
| again and while Mcdonald was advanc-
| ing fired three shots at him in quick
| succession After the last shot had been
fired Mcdonald placed his hand on his
left breast. shouting at he top of his
| voice, I'm shoti I'm shot!" and fell
backward upon the ground. BY this
time two men who had been at work in
an adjoining field arrived upon the
| scene. Mcdonald. who still lay PROSTATE
