IDA SIMPSONS DEATH.
Sad Story of a Johnson County Girl
DIR. Eskew's Statement.

About week ago Ida Simpson, aged
nineteen years. daughter of John Simpson,
of Trafalgar johnson county, came to this
city, presumably to visit her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Anna Simpson, No. 222 South Illinois
street Several days after her arrival, in
company with a friend named Agnes Hag-
gard, she went to the Office of DIR. II. t.
Eskew, No 25 Ohio street, to whom she
told a pitiful story. Later she gave birth
to child. Soon after blood poisoning set
in, and she died Sunday night at Z o'clock
above the saloon at No. 30 South Illinois
street. The parents of the girl were in
formed, and they came to this city yester-
day. 1t was their first knowledge of the
sad condition and end of their daughter,
and they were grief-stricken. 1t is claimed
by several who knew the daughter that a
stock trader residing near Trafalgar was
responsible for the girls downfall. Coroner
Beck will investigate every phase of the
matter.
Dr. Eskew denies that ne administered
TO the distressed girl, but admits that she
came to his office with friend. She told
him of her trouble, and he refused to
also says that the girl mentioned the name
of an Indianapolis man whom she claimed
had, through her lover, referred her to
him. DR.. Eskew believes that the visit of
the girl to his office was the outgrowth of
a plan originated by his enemies to get
his name connected with the affair. He
mistrusts a friend of his divorced wife.

THE LINCOLN LEAGUE EXCURSION.
A Special Train to Meeting of Repub-
0@ Iican Clubs i'm Denver.

The officers of the Indiana Lincoln League
have just completed arrangements for at
tending the national convention of the
League of Republican Clubs. to be held in
Denver, Col, on June rs. The arrange
ments include a special train consisting of
reclining chair cars Pullman vestibule
sleeping cars and a dining car. to run
through from Indianapolis to Denver with
out change. The route selected for the
trip is over the l.. E. W., c. & A. and
the Union Pacific railroads. The special
train, which will be the Official League
Train" will leave Indianapolis on Satur-
day, June g. at 4 p. m, via the Lake Erie
& Western, arriving at Bloomington, ILL.,.
at $50, where it will join the official league
train from Chicago The train will leave
& Alton. and will arrive at Kansas City
at o'clock on Sunday morning, where
stop of three hours and half Will be
made The train will leave Kansas City
at 1890 a. m. over the Union Pacific, arriv-
ing at Denver on Monday morning, June
Secretary Mansfield, in speaking of the
trip, said: 1.-The route selected is as direct
and time as quick as any. and we expect
that the people of Indiana who contem-
plate attending the convention, or making
the trip at that time, to go on this special
train A rate of s24.75 for the round trip,
good from all points in Indiana, has been
secured In addition to the trip to Denver
several side trips have been arranged by
the Republican clubs of Colorado for the
benefit of delegates to the convention, which
will include some of the most interesting
points in the State. The season, the loca-
ton where the convention is TO be held,
and the general interest manifested in pol
itics at this time are conditions that will
contribute TO the success of the meeting
and insure a large attendance. The con-
vention comes at a time when many people
will be taking their summer vacation, and
will gladly avail themselves of an oppor-
tunity to visit the West, when a cheap
rate can be secured. We expect to take a
good crowd from Indiana, and the State
will be well represented at the national
meeting of Republican clubs"

BLAIsHFIELDs 1.-THE BELLs.v
New Picture by Noted Artist at the
Exhibit.

There was a picture hung at the art ex-
hibit yesterday which has the place of
honor on the north wall opposite the door.
The canvas is 1.-The Bells painted by Z.
H. Blaishfield, and the subject was taken
from
Ring out. wild bells. to the wild sky,
The flying clouds. the frosty night
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring In the Christ that is TO be-
The scene is localized. There is the old
belfry, high in the tower, and angels are
ringing the bells. There are three figures.
painted from Italian models. They are IA
dainty beautiful. Through diaphanous dra-
peries the figures are plainly discernble.
AS the angels are ringing the bells one bell
of great size has just swung out. The pic
ture is considered the greatest one Mr..
Blaishfield has ever done. Mr.. Blaishfield
is the artist whose Flaming Sword at
tracted so much attention at the world
fair. Certainly the Art Associat ton has been
fortunate in securing anything SO beautiful.
There are more large canvases than ever
before in the associations collection.
There is always so much said concerning
the nude in art that the New YORK public
has been having series OF exhibits OF this
style of art. The exhibit at the Propylaeum
has three nude figures, and only one or
them seems to be favorably received. This
is No. 40. La Cigale," by j. III. Fry. 1t is
of a woman. The drawing and coloring are
admirable. Many think II is inconsistent,
on the ground that no real fiesh-and-blood
woman, as this one represents, would calm
ly sit down in field, full of thistles. flow
ers. dead leaves and mosses, and their ac-
compartments of ants, mosquitoes and other
insects One visitor criticised the artist for
painting woman who has no clothes and
yet has hairpins.''
A second is OF a boy, standing out of
doors. The back is turned, and the artist,
L. G.. Caldwell, has sought to show the eff
feet of the sunshine through the body. The
tips of the fingers, held to the light, some
times have this curious appearance, but to
give the whole body the peculiar appear
ance, IL would seem that the body should
be very near the sun. An artist of much
skill has dubbed the "A Sun Bath the
Jelly Boy" because ii has the effect of
that substance. Common everyday people
never seem to see things as artists do, and
for this reason, perhaps the grass is too
Yellow green and the boy too thin.
The third picture is called Dawn A
diagram should have been sent with 1t.
Why a colorless, nude woman, sitting a
stone in a country as bare as rocks and
no verdure can make ii, should be called
dawn is one of the subjects which needs
explanation. Stanley Middleton is the art
list, and the picture is valued at $500 in the
catalogue. The nude is not OF the order
beautiful. and the less of the kind such as
is contained in the exhibit this year the
better. One does not have to finger over
these. and there are many others which
are attractive enough to make visitor de-
Sire to remain an hour or two several times
week during the time the pictures are
to be shown.

John Isanberg, the Moore's Hill man who
