Agents claiming to represent an east
earn firm are trying to work a rather sick
scheme on the farmers Of the northeast
part OF the county, and If reports are
true. have succeeded in hOrnsWoggling
several men who usually investigate
matters and things before taking hold
of them. The scheme is something sim
liar to the French coach horse swindle
that was worked in various places some
months ago. These agents have a new
variety Of wheat which they carry with
them. showing 1t both in the grain and
head, and claiming that il will produce
from fifteen to twenty bushels more on
the acre than any other kind of wheat.
They will not sell a bushel Of the wheat
but propose to furnish IL to the farmers
and take half of the crop that it will
produce This is furnishing seed wheat
with the prospect of getting a rather
large return-Delphi Journal
Eugenia Lang. alias Eugenia Cohen, the
beautiful. but as wicked as beautiful ad-
ventures, well known in Chicago and
Cincinnati. ana who was known in Del
phi several years ago, ended her life In
a Chicago dive Wednesday evening
Of last week. by taking a dose Of poison.
She was of respectable parentage, and
when al home was as modest as a
queen, but she longed for excitement and
the world. which Ultimately led to her
destruction. Her parents reside at pres
ent in the fashionable quarters of Wal
nut Hills, Cincinnati, and for months
Eugenia would reside with them, lead
! ing vtrtuous life, when suddenly she
would disappear and nothing would be
/ heard Of her for a considerable length
of time. Being suspected and arrested
| for relieving victim Of $1,000 caused
her to become melancholy and take the
fatal dose Of poison. She was buried
last Friday at Logansport, her old
home.-Delphi Journal.
John W. Rogers tells US he sowed
about ten acres Of a field of oats early
| last spring. When he got that far along
with his work a big snow storm came
and he could do nothing more for just
a week. Then he sowed about ten acres
more and was stopped again by the
weather. After three days waiting he
sowed again and finished the field. He
! used the same quality Of seed all the
time. Now the curious feature OF this
case come in. The field all shows a
heavy crop, but the first sowing is the
best, and a distinct line can be seen
where the first drilling ended. Then
the second sowing contains good deal
of smut, while the first and third SOW
ings have practically none. He is In
cLned to think. therefore, that the smut
is the result Of the weather al some
peculiar stage Of the development OF the
plant during its period Of growth. He
has been offered 80 cents a bushel for
lie no will nd
them next week.-Laporte Argus.
John Calhoun, a farmer residing near
Flora had an experience with a mad
hog this week that he will not soon for
get. A mad hog is a mean brute to do
battle with. When they bristle up, show
their tusks and come at you il is time TO
practice the old saying that discretion
is the better part Of valor.' In this
case Mr.. Calhoun had no idea the animal
was dangerous, and when II got into
the wheat field where he and others
We're at work he went over 10 drive IL
out. He soon learned that the hog had
taken possession of the corner of the
field and intended keeping it. When he
got near enough to kick at the brute
he let go his left but failed to land
on his h0gship. He did manage, how
ever. to fall himself, and he was no
sooner down than the hog was upon him
and chewing away with Will one OF
his hired hands rushed TO the rescue
with pitchfork and after several well
planed labs the hog gave up the fight
and left the battlefield. Mr.. CalhOun's
injuries are serious and painful, but he
is fortunate TO escape as well as he did.
