Miller. the tramp who is walking from
| New York to New Orleans under con-
| tract with Richard X. Fox. rushed into
| the city Saturday morning from the East
| and never slackened his speed until he
| dropped like a cyclone into the Times
| editorial rooms. Bang! went his grip on
| the floor with such force as to open 1t,
| and then. with a flourish, this wild-eyed
| one produced his credentials and de-
! handed a business card to send TO his
/ employer as evidence that he had been
| here. Ansbach, the magician, handed
| him one, but IL vanished before the eyes
/ Of the astonished tramp, who packed up
/ and started for Elkhart. AS he left the
| office he looked back half frightened at
/ Ansbach and muttered TO himself: Il
meet some queer people in this world. -

Governor Matthews has issued a procla-
nation calling upon the striking miners
10 desist in their unlawful acts by inter-
rupting the running of trains and thus
preventing railway traffic. Sheriffs and
officers charged with the duty of enfOrc-
ing the laws are directed to break up
these cOmbina tons and bring the offenders
to justice. The peaceable and law-abid-
ing citizens in every community will
stand by the governor in his efforts to
execute the laws. Whatever may be the
grievances Of the miners they cannot af-
ford. as the governor says, to stand in the
attitude of law-breakeTs. They have no
more right to stop a train loaded with
traffic than they have TO stop a farmer
on the road TO town with load CT wheat.
| Our laws must be upheld at whatever
cost. Unless they are the country is at
once in a state Of anarchy.-Crawfords-

Treasurer NJ. T. Kelly owns fine stone
ak which was found on his farm many
years ago and has been kept in the fam
lily since. The workmanship shows il to
be Of a comparatively recent date and
| probably made by some tribe in the South
and brought 10 this region by others. 1t
| IS OF granite. Its dimensions are ~
| inches long. Az VIDE and thick. and
| II weighs "a pounds. IL is finely finished,
/ the handle groove being very deep, and
the whole finely prOpOrtiOned. 1t also
has a perpendicular groove in the back,
evidently for the purpose Of wedging the
handle fastenings. Mr.. Kelly also has
rude specimen OF an AK made out Of soft
stone which very likely came from South
| Carolina. 1t is evident at one time
| Indian village existed on Mr.. Kelly's
farm, for ever since il was first plowed
relics of this character have been found
| there together with hundreds Of flint ar
row heads.-ROckville Republican.
| Two years ago the republican nominal
| ton for congress went begging in this
district. Now there are candidates in
| plenty, nearly every county having a
'favorite son" or two whose names will
be presented TO the convention. The list
10 date is as follows: The Hon. James
i. Johnston Of Parke, DR.. NJ. l.. Hall of
Vermillion, j. NJ. Holiday Of Clay, Judge
| G. w. Buff of Sullivan, George w. Faris
and Frank Sargent Of Vigo This leaves
| Fountain and Montgomery without can
dtdates, but as there is yet plenty of
| time these counties may bring out man
before the convention is called. The con-
Nention should not be put off later than
| the middle OF July. Whatever repub-
! lican attempts 10 carry this district will
| go on no picnic excursion and will need
| not only plenty OF time 70 make thor
: ough school district canvass, but will re-
| quire the help and vote of every repub-
| lican and good many others beside. The
situation should therefore, be carefully
/ studied and the most available man
| chosen.-ROckville Republican,
The pride OF Petersburg is its GEM
etery. II is visited every Sunday by
hundreds and rs situated about a mile
west or town on big hill, and is one
| or the. neatest kept places OF the kind
| ever visited. The walks and drives are
| well laid out and several costly monu-
ments mark the last resting place OF the
| dead. One Of the most imposing stones
/ in the cemetery Is the one that stands
/ at the head of the grave of Edward
! Montgomery, well known i'm this CITY,
| and who, as will be remembered, was
! shot 70 death for the alleged crime of
| debauehing another mans wife. During
/ his lifetime Mr.. Montgomery cut a big
/ swath, had plenty Of money and drank
/ TO its brim the pleasures of this life.
| But his ending was indeed a sad one.
| As stood at his grave and thought of
| his life the old biblical Injunction seemed
| to strike me with greater force than ever
\ before: BE sure your sins will find you
out" Mr. Montgomery's wife, who died
a great many years before his deplorable
| taking off, is buried I'm the same place,
/ and a modest little monument tells the
/ visitor that she was the wife OF unfor-
tunate Ed Montgomery.-W Washington
