TO HONOR His MEMORY.
Indiana Will Mark the Grave o.
Governor Jennings. ga
Remarkable Character of the First Chief
Executive of the HOosier State-His
Fight Against Slavery-Ruined
by Drink.

The late session of the Indiana legis-
lature made an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of erecting a monu-
ment at the grave of Jonathan Jen-
nings, the first governor of Indiana,
and the citizens of Charlestown and
Clark county have swelled the original
amount appropriated by private sub
scription until the monument fund has
reached respectable figure. ="
Jonathan Jennings was one of the
remarkable men of Indiana. He was
born in New Jersey in 1854, removed to
Pennsylvania, and while young came
down the Ohio river in a fatboat and
settled at Jacksonville, where he
commenced the practice of law. Soon
after he was made clerk of the terrific
rial legislature. He was elected the
first territorial delegate to congress in
1909. Although democrat young Jen-
nings was bitterly opposed to the ex-
tension of slavery, and through his
efforts more than those of any other
man Indiana was admitted to the union
as free state in 1916. At the first
constitutional convention held in Cory
den in 1916 Jonathan Jennings was
elected president of the convention
and after the adjournment he an
nounced himself candidate for gov
ernor of the new state. Atthe August
election of 1916 he defeated Thomas
Posey, the then territorial governor,
receiving 5,211 votes, his Jennings
opponent 1884 votes.
Two years later Gov. Jennings was
appointed by President Monroe a com
missioner to negotiate treaty with
the Indians, and after a bitter legal
contest he held the office of governor
as well as commissioner He was re-
elected governor in 1920 and resigned
the governorship in 1922, having been
elected to congress. He served four
terms in the lower house of congress
and was defeated for a fifth term bv
Gen. John Carr. On retiring from con
gress Mr. Jennings removed to his farm
near Charlestown. The ex-governor's
residence was a large double Lighthouse,
situated two and half miles west of
this village, surrounded by several hun
dred acres of fertile blue grass lands.
Here he entertained the leading poll
ticians of Kentucky and Indiana in
that hospitable manner for which he
was noted. He owned a large still
house and mill, situated on his estate.

The convivial habits of that period
soon claimed him victim, and it is
recorded that his political career was
cut short by his uncomfortable desire
for drink, his warmest friends VOTING

gress He was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Hay, member
of one of the oldest and most promi-

married a few years before his death

LIVING SCARECROWS.
Children Utilized to Keep the Crows from
Pulling Up the Corn.

Children Utilized to Keep the Crows from
Pulling Up the Corn.
A wrecking gang on the Delaware
division of the Erie railway were clear
ing up wreck at Nobody's Block, not
far from Cochecton, last week, says a
Port Jcrvis correspondent of the New
York Sun, when their attention was
called to curious, shrill, cooling sound
which came at short and regular in
tervals from a cornfeld across the Del
aware river in Wayne county, Pennsyl-
vania. They made an investigation
and found that the sound enanated
from the children of German farmer
who had been stationed around his
cornfield to scare away the crows from
pulling up the young and tender shoots
of corn. The farmer had been unusu-
ally well blessed with progeny, his
wife having borne him no less than
twelve children, including four pairs of
twins. He had been yearly bothered
with crows in complaining time, and
he had adapted all the scarecrow de-
vices in common usage among farmers,
such as placing stuffed straw men in
the fields, stringing Irvine over poles
with bits of white rags futtering in
the wind, etc, but the crows had be-
come used to these things, and, crow
like, would post their sentinels or lofty
treetops to give warning Of danger
while their compa Mons were at work
uncovering the hills. A happy thought
| struck the farmer by which he could
protect his corn and utilize his several
offspring. Aiming two of them with
old tin pans each day, he placed them
in the field at four o'clock in the morn
ing and told them to call out Goo!
coo!' and pound their pans whenever
they saw any crows flying near. When
the children became tired the father
replaced them with two others, and
thus by successive relays the crows
were kept away. This process was re-
peated each day until the corn was Of
size sufficient to protect itself 1t was
this strange noise, kept up all day
long, from early morn till eve, that
made the Erie wreckers marvel. 1t is
said that this is the second year in
which the Wayne county farmer has
protected his cornfelds with living
scarecrows.

not yet been ascertained for the reason
that the order is rapidly forging up tc
the 800, 900 mark and new courts by the
score are being instituted all over the
United States, in consequence of which
the numbers assigned each one must
come in the rotation of the time the
application has been made, hence a de-
delay of a week as to this practically
inessential item.

A travelling NAN informs the JOUR-
NAL that few days since he was in a G ro-
Gerry store down in Celina and heard a
number of gentlemen talking politics.
One of the number was an old veteran
and pensioner, and remarked that this
talk about Hoke Smith not doing right
by the old soldiers was all bosh. He
had voted for Cleveland, and believed
Cleveland was right and that Ho!ie
Smith WAS all right and all the pen
sioner had to do was to prove his claim
TO be good and he would be all right.
After closing the conversation, this
same gentleman went to the Office after
his mail and received notice that his
pension had been stopped and that he
must again prove his claims to receive
the same, and our informant says that
the old veteran was so tearing mad
that he cussed Cleveland and Hoke
Smith in every language and style at
his command and that he evidently
underwent sudden change of heart.

A Negro Iynched.

Roanoke Va witnessed exciting times on
Sept 20 which will remain forever in the his
tory of the town. Robert Smith, brutal
negro, was the cause of the trouble. which re-
suited in his being lynched. Smith engaged n
box of grapes from Mrs. Henry Bishop, the wife
OF wcl-to-do farmer of Botetourt County.
He asked her to 20 with him to get the money,
and taking her to house near by locked the
door and bound her. Then drawing a razor he
demanded her money. She gave it mp, and
while doing SO jerked the razor from his hand.
The negro choked her, threw her down and
pounded her head with brick, leaving her for
dead. Mrs. Bishop shortly afterwards regained
consciousness ana returning to the market told
of the outrage.
The negro was soon arrested and lodged in
Jail, but not until quite crowd had gathered.
The mob so increased and became demou-
stratve that the Roanoke Light Infantry was
ordered out. The multitude, after doing dam
age to the Jail in their efforts to secure the
negro, were ordered by Mayor Trout to dis
perse, which was not needed. The infantry
were drawn up, and tbs Mayor gave the word
to fire. The volley killed nine men outright,
and wounded 90 two fatally.
This caused great excitement, and made the
mob more determined than ever to secure the
negro. He was subsequently captured and
hung on the nearest tree and his body riddled
with bullets. After being viewed by the coro-
ner, the mob took charge of the body, intend
ing to bury it in the front yard of the Mayor.
