Charles Estle suicided at Cynthiana
last Friday by taking rough on rats. He
was young married man and had of
late been living not far from Greenfield,
but for several days he and his wife had
been visiting friends at Cynthiana and
he had been staying principally at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Estle, and was there when he took the
poison and died. A letter was found
on his person giving some directions in
regard to the burial of his body and
some other matters but he assigned no
reason for the rash act.
Some time ago hole was dug and
filled up in the Beavers Cemetery, on
the land of the late Allen Upp. The
filling of the hole had apparently been
done in haste, and shovel used in the
work had been left and has not been
claimed by any one. Suspicion was
aroused that the body of an infant
might have been buried there by par.
ties that were trying to conceal their
identity, but the dirt was thrown out
and nothing found. Then the theory
was formulated that the parties who
were making the excavation had been
frightened away by the presence of fox
hunters who were in the vicinity that
night One night recently larger and
d per hole was dug i'll the same place
hut what the object was or WHEELER
anything was secured no one in This
vicinity seems to known. This time a
s.,ck was left bearing the name of Col.
unluus firm, leaving the impression that
tne digging was done by some one
from a distance.
S. g. Doudell died at the residence of
J. j. Lovett January 9th, 1894, at the
ripe old age of 72 years, 2 months and
II days. He was native of London
county, Va, but came to this state in
1910 and settled near the Serpent
Mound where he engaged for time in
school teaching, but his eyesight failed
him and after time he became blind.
He was humble and devout christian
and member of the Baptist Church.
After brief funeral service at the fam
lily residence on Sunday morning taken
in charge by Rev. j, 1. Taggart, his re-
mains were taken to a cemetery beyond
Belfast for interment.
Abraham Newkirk and Mrs. Charles
of Belfast, were called here

and remained till after his death.

THE GREATEST YET.
The Wonder of all Wonders.

In the arena for December is an arti-

Wonders of Hindoo Magic" We give
one of these wonders which the Doctor
says he himself saw.
On the west coast of India, about two
hundred and thirty miles north of Bonn.
bay, lies the city of Baroda. 1t is the
capital of one of the semi-independent
native States-Guzefat - and is ruled
over by Mahratta prince, who bears
the title of guicowar. 1t was in front of
guicowars palace, in the open air aud
in broad daylight, that l first witnessed
the illusion which, in the opinion of the
Hindoos themselves, is the ne plus ultra
of 1oghi achievement, viz, the celebrat.
ed ''rope trick" l say 'illusion" not
because the performance gives one any
such impression, or as if that word af-
forded some kind of explanation, but
Tor the want of better term at the
present moment. What l saw appeared
to me just as real as the fact that l am
now engaged in penning these lines.
A Yoghi, after having addressed a
large assemblage of people and preached
one of the most impressive sermons |
ever listened to, took rope about fif.
teen feet long, and perhaps an inch
thick. One end of this rope he held in
his left hand, while with the right he
ha h..p IN nj
rope, instead of coming down again, re-
NAMED suspended, even after the Yoghi
had removed his other hand, and it
seemed TO have become as rigid as pill
lar. Then the Yoghi seized it with both
hands, and to my utter amazement,
climbed up this rope, suspended all the
time, in defiance OF gravity, with the
lower end at least five feet from the
ground. And in proportion as he
climbed up it seemed as if the rope was
lengthening out indefinitely above him
and disappearing beneath him, for he
kept on climbing till he was fairly out
of sight, and the last l could distinguish
was his white turban and piece of this
never-ending rope. Then my eyes could
endure the glare OF the sky no longer,
and when | looked again he was gone.
have seen this miraculous feat on
four different occasions, performed in
precisely the same manner, and the
mystery seemed only to deepen with
every repetition. 1t has been the stand
ing wonder of India from time ante
dating perhaps the building of the first
pyramid. Marco Polo was profoundly
impressed with it, and Tavernier, who
visited India about the middle of the
seventeenth century, speaks OF it in
terms which plainly denote his bewild.
erment. The early Jesuite fathers
startled at the sight, and at total loss
to account for it, very promptly attrib-
uted it to the devil, and this ingenious
explanation is still persisted in by the
missionaries of the present, who assert
that it is sin even to witness these
performances, and who anathematize
the Yoghi's as agents of Satan. West.
ern philosophy has not yet furnished
any thing like an explanation of these
strange phenomena, and as to Western
science, it is only now on the point of
awakening from long dream.

1t is not only humane to look after
cattle, horses, poultry, etc., in cold
weather, but it is the way to save money.
A man who provides no comfort and
shelter for his stock will come to want.
There are many people who let their
poultry roost in trees and open sheds
when mercury hangs about zero. Com
mon sense should teach them that such
exposure as this will not only check
the growth OF fowls but prevent them
from laying eggs, from making good
table fowls, or from taking prizes at
shows. Provide good warm shelter and
wholesome food for stock and you will
make money by it-Cycions.

The Inspection of MIX.

Revelations made in connection with
the work of the milk inspectors are cal
culated to disturb the equanimity of the
average citizen of Baltimore, who has
paid his money and innoccntly believed
that he was receiving pure milk therefor
The result of the inspection proves quite
conclusWely that very little milk brought
TO the city is pure and fit for food. The
custom of diluting anu adulterating this
article of diet seems TO be well-nigh uni
Versal, and the Health Department has
revealed the fact that many people Of the
city have been and are the victims of the
INSCRIPTIONS greed Of those who have
heretofore manipulated the milk business
In our city TO suit their own purposes
The work Of the milk inspectors proves
two things very cOnclusively: First. that
snere is need of such inspection, and. Sc
condly. that IL must be continuous and
drastic. No one knows how long the peO-
pie OF Baltimore have been imposed upon
by the milk dealers. but IL Is certain that
the frauds have been carried on for seve-
raj years. In vain has the press OF Bal
timore called attention to the fact in the
past. and II was only through the careful
preparation and earnest efforts OF the
Health Commissioner that law was
finally enacted which made milk inspec,
ton possible and brought something like
efficient services TO bear upon the selfish
conduct of the dealers
But IL is impossible that this question
should be solved by a single spasmodic
effort The messengers of the Health De-
partment may remain about the receiving
stations for weeks at a time, and may
send back TO the farmers in the counties
any number of cans OF diluted milk but
the moment this inspection is withdrawn
and matters are allowed TO take their
old course. the dishonest vendors of milk
will resume their practices, and the con-
sumner in the city will be imposed upon
as before.
What is needed Is continuous and faith
full official inspection OF all the milk
which comes into Baltimore. In no other
way can the evil be eradicated. and this
inspection must be carried on, not only
for the present year. but at all times In
thu future. II Is thus that the question
was solved In European cities. and II is
thus that the American cities have APP
preached the problem when they have
sought 10 solve II.
Baltimore has made a good beginning.
but only beginning. and IL is all-esss n
tial that he Health Department shall be
clothed with authority To ferret out this
abuse, and, with proper appropriations,
to make the service permanent and eff
cient

In this lecture Or. Jones gave prl'l
outline of the situation at the ume % .ne
Gettysburg campo IN. He defended inc
rolicy of undertaking that campaign ana
cavo hrioGy the events leading w TO the
great battle of the war.
He then gave briefly but wildly n de-
scription Of the battle and its results.
He claimed that the success Of Lees
plans at Gettysburg would have eNentu-
ated IN the capture Of Washington, baI-
timore and Philadelphia. the uprising
of MARYLAND. and a large accession TO the
Confederate army from that state inc
strengthening Of the Peace parry at the

parliament ana from General Lee con-

He next discussed the question. why

and argued to show that il was not lack
of ability or judgment on the part OF Lee.
who made no mistake thcre-not because
Of the strong position or superior forces
Of the en- -my-and not because of any
failure OF the Confederate troops TO do all
that men might dare or do. But he m
sisted that the defeat was due To the
failure to carry out Lees orders ard
fight the battle on the plan he had adopt
ed. and that but for this complete vic
tory would have resulted. Meade's army
would have been cut I'm two and smashed
10 pieces. and Lee would have dictated
terms of peace from the Capitol at Wash
ington, or from Central Park, New York.
Or. Jones illustrated his lecture with
anecdotes and "reminiscences, and en-
deavorcd to put in popular form the re-
suit of many years study OF the Federal
and Confederate official reports, and ac-
counts OF leading men on both sides OF
this great battle.
