city; all L ask is that you furnish me
with free land on which to build my
plant, and free gas. The plant if built

party of twenty-four Princes of the

baugh, Emil Stang, Ed Davis, Oscar
Hawkins, j. D. Hawkins, C. NJ. Mofford,

kaufman, Dell Fast, Lew Morris, Thomas
Stevens, Thomas Downs, Frank Smith.
William Russell, George ShultZ, Art
Zimmerman, Charles Adamson, George
McHenry, James Hayward, Charles Hip
plehauser, Frank Sims. They report the
street parade a grand demonstration,
well worth the going to see. Aside from
this the conclave was but very inferior
attraction. On adjourning from the
opera house a free ride on the street
cars to a banquet and feast on the fair
ground was announced, Of which our
Brazil princes eagerly took advantage,
satire flowing copiously in anticipation
Of the good things to be served. Arriv-
ing at the ground they found the spread

barrel Of crackers and grindstone
cheese, all Of which had been previously
corralled by legion of home buns and

Terrific thunder and lightning storms
prevailed in and around this city
Saturday night and Sunday. Considera-
BILE damage was done. About Newbern
much fencing was blown down and along
the J., NJ. & i. the railroad telegraph
wires were grounded, causing consider
able trouble in handling business. The
telephone wires between this city and In
dianapOliS were rendered useless by be-
ing burned out. The storm center seems
to have ragged worse in Brown county.
At Stone Head. during Saturday night,
the new barn of John Altis was struck
by lightning and burned, together with
a new self-binder and other farm imple-
ments. His loss will be about 5000 or
$780, Sunday noon another terrific thun-
der storm was raging near Pixies Peak,
about two miles further away and light

had sprung and the water was
tricl<ling down the side of the fue.
The girl got a tin pan to catch the water
and just then a bolt Of lightning struck
the fiue and was communicated to the
girl, and ran down her back. literally
tearing both her shoes to pieces and set
ting her clothing on fire, burning her
body in a horrible manner. The funeral
occurred at New Bethel Monday after
noon-Columbus Times.
The following from DR.. Culver of
Waynetown Will interest the people who
think the pension business is being neg
lected under this administrat ton: 1.-The
Journal is always harping about pen
sions and never can see to publish case
that has been restored or one that has
got an increase John Ellis of this place
had his application in all during Harri-
sons administration; was examined
twice and rejected. both time Brookshire
called his case up. We examined him
in February and in April he got $40
month and $3.50 back pay He is also a
stanch republican, showing there is no
respeetor of persons in our pension sys-
tenn under Cleveland DR.. Culver also
incloses the following: William
G. Ellis of Waynetown was re-
ceiying a pension of $14 and during Har-
risons administration he made applica-
tion for an increase. He was suspended
entirely, pending an investigation. and
has been off the pension-roll ever since.
He got Brookshire to call up his case
last winter and in March he was or
dered before the Montgomery county
board Of examining surgeons, and last
Saturday he received his warrant for re-
instatement at $14 per month and $3.50
back pay" With all this the Journal
never heard of suspension until Cleye-
land came into power. Mr.. Ellis is
stanch republican, but he says that
Brookshire is the only man that ever
done ANYTHING for him. Wonder II the
Journal will copy for the benefit of their
readers ?-Crawfordsv Argus-News.
Kelley's army marched seventeen miles
Wednesday in the heat of the sun. From
Evans's Landing TO Bridgeport they
tramped stopping at o'clock, where
they camped Wednesday night The
march was an arduous one. Some TWEEN
ty men succumbed TO the heat and others
were dlscomforted by drinking bad
water. The army is under wonderful dis
cipline, especially when one considers
that Gen" Kelley has no military or
disciplinary powers like an army or
civil officer, and the obedience yielded is
simply a matter of will on the part of
the men. His slightest order Is obeyed.
The organization compelled the admira-
ton of the police who went to meet II.
and Chief Cannon OF New Albany said
he had never seen anything like it-that
tary or police force. The men are main
ly young men. Kelley himself being
about thirty-five or thirty-seven years
old His personality is attractive. lie
Is undoubtedly a well-read man and
posted on every subject. When COM
