THE REASON WHY.

The reason farm products are SO low
is because there is an over production
There are too many people engaged in
farming Chicago Inter Ocean.
The reason times are hard in cities is
because too many people crowd in from
the rural districts More people should
ill the soil.-Chicago Tribune.
Commenting on the above the Idaho
World says The reason there is so many
fools IN the country is because there are
80 many knaves, and the reason there are
80 many knavcs, is because there are So
many fools. The reason given by the
lnter-Ocean and Tribune as TO why farm
products are low and times are hard re-
mind us Of the song the boys used to sing
when they got full. II was something like
this:
"Our old COW she crossed the road
Because she crossed the road, sir,
And The reason why she crossed the road
Was cause she crossed the road, sir"

Incidents in the Career OF =. w. Full
Ter. Now u Convict.

Ter, Now Convict.
RICHMOND, Feb. S.-Special.-It be-
comes more and more apparent that J..
w. Fuller, who recently received his
sentence to the penitsntiary from this
city was very smooth article.
For a long while the mystery Cf his
former life remained unexplained, but
now scarcely day passes without some
sort Of a recitation regarding him.
Pennsylvania officers have lodged a de
tainer' against Fu1ler's release from JEFF
fersOnville when his time expires and he
will be held until the officers Of Bristol,
Pa, arrive and lay claim TO him.
His career at the above named place
is quite interesting. Early last spring
he arrived there with his wife and gave
the name OF c. c. Cordey. He said he
came from New York and was a cousin
of the late Henry Ward Beecher. His
wife claimed to be a niece Of eN-GOV-
ernor Buckley Of Massachusetts. Cor
dey asked to be shown the way to
BTidgewater. three miles below Bristol.
where he said he intended to purchase
a place and 60 TO farming. lie was
seemingly a man OF wealth, culture and
refinement, but the air Of mystery that
prevailed about the couple sufiiced To
start the tongues OF the gUssipers, and
many were the conclusions reached by
the people. His history there was quite
romantic. since he managed to keep ev-
erybody mystifed. despite the fact that
all were or the opinion that he was not
I'm legitimate business. Finally he
leased a farm near Bristol and imnie-
diately purchased farming material IF
all Kinds. The lease was executed Nv
Joel d. Victor Of Bristol. and SO favor
ably did Cordey impress him that no Sc
cuTity was demanded. COTdey quietly
announced that magnificent furniture
and carriages would soon come from
New York. so he did not occupy the
farm house, but his wife bearded at
several places near by and hired a man
to do the farming for him.
Shortly after settling down Cordey alb
scented himself on various trips, some Of
them of two months duration. His wife
explained his absence by saying that his
New York business demanded his atten-
ton
In the meantime sundry bills OF vari-
Gus kinds rolled up against him and he
was assidiOusly dunned each time he
came home. When pressed for money he
offered checks. In most cases these
were rejected. however, as the people
had come to view COrdey with suspicion,
but several of those which were ac-
cepted came back protested.
In December he disappeared and soon
afterward the goods on the farm We're
ordered sold by his wife, who said Cor
dey had gone insane through losing $780,
900 in speculation. Soon afterward she
also disappeared and the whereabouts
and identity Of both remained unknown
until his arrest in this city.
While in Bristol Fuller also forged a
check for $3.50 on the Commonwealth
title and trust company, and on this ac-
count. more than any other, was Inc
"detainer" lodged against him.

FIGHT WITH An EAGLE.
An Eight-Ycar-OId boy Carried a
short Distance by the Bird.

GOSHEN, Feb. -Special-Informa-
ton comes from AIillersburg that last
night about 6 o'clock a monster eagle
made an attack on Harry. eight-year-oid
son of John Graham, and attempted to
carry him away.
1t seems that the lad had gone out on
the Wabash railroad a short distance
from the station to place a switch light
His attention was first attracted by a
dark object soaring over him. and before
he was able to realize his danger. a mon
ster eagle swooped down upon him and
burying its claws in his clothing at
tempted 70 rise. This is the boys story,
and he further says he was lifted in the
air and carried a short distance when
the eagle lost its hold and he fell. As
soon as he struck the ground, the boy
recovered himself as quickly as possible
and when the bird made a second as
sault he struck ii on the head with a
large stone. Luckily the first blow
stunned the eagle and the cries of the
boy soon attracted several railroad en-
ployes who came TO his assistance. The
men then secured the eagle and took it
10 Topeka, a small station on the Wa
bash road east of AIillersburg.
Not long ago a monster specimen of
the eagle family was killed near Fish
lake.

BLOODY FIGHT IN COURT.
A Witness Assaulted on the Stand and
Badly Beaten.

TERRE HAUTE, Feb. 11-Special.-
The Express publishes the following from
+, Centerviile: Justice CRISIS court a Cen
terville, sixteen miles southeast OF this
city, was the scene of a bloody fight yes
terday afternoon. in which knives were
drawn and almost a tragedy resulted.
John All, a respected and wealthy
farmer. defendant in damage suit for
$500 for cOaXing William Carpenters
wife from her home. assaulted the COM
psaiDant on the witness stand and beat
his face to pulp. The fight lasted near
" half an hour and the courtroom was
sIfleared with blood Knives were drawn
and only for the presence Of mind Of the
justice I'm swearing in six constabIes the
courtroom would undoubtedly have been
turned into the scene OF a fatal af-
fray.
The trouble which led up to the court
room fight has evidently existed for some
time. William Carpenters wife left him
on the 18th Of December last and he ac-
cused John All and Andrew Dean. both
married and respected farmers owning
property near Centerville, of coaxing Mrs.
Carpenter from home. Carpenter sued
Dean and All for $500 damages. In his
complaint he charged the defendants
