WEAVING Calves.

Ponds upon circumstances, says the
Prairie Farmer. There can be no fixed
time for the weaving Of calves. The
manner of raising and feeding them
will largely depend upon whether they
are intended for the market or for future
breeding purposes. The season of the
year and the latitude and climate Of the
country. also to some extent influence
the period Of change. Thus the time for
weaving calves ranges from one to
three, four or even five months. III a

The Horrible Condition of the Boone
County Poor Farm.

The Horrible Condition of the Boone
County Poor Farm.
LEBANON. March 23-Special.-Th
grand jury for the March term OF the
Boone circuit court made its report this
afternoon as to the condition of the
county poor farm.
The grand jury reports a condition of
affairs that is a disgrace to the county.
Among other things the report says
that the south end OF the building is I'M
fit for habitation by human beings. the
doors and windows are rotted away, the
beds and bedding are infested with in
Vulnerable bedbugs and not only the
beds and bedding are so infested, but
even the woodwork whenever there is
crack is filled with such insects.
The report further says that the pro-
ceeds of the farm have been improperly
cared and accounted for. that the in
mates have been cruelty treated and not
provided with sufficient food.
The report recommends an investga-
ton of the entire matter. The manage
ment of the farm was changed about one
week ago, at which time Theodore Hag-
german, x-superintendent, savagely at
tackled an aged inmate with a club, for
which he was fined 800
1t seems that Haggerman was indig-
nant because the board refused to re-
elect him and has taken out revenge on
the property and the inmates at the
county farm

Seven IndianIans Whose Combined
Ages Reach COS Years.
BRAZIL, March 2O.-Special-Back in
1925. sixty-nine years ago, in a public
school over in Clermont county, Ohio,
the most advanced class was composed
Of seven of the Oldest pupils-four men
and three young women-from sixteen to
twenty-one years of age. who have
most remarkable record for longevity.
OF the number six migrated to Indiana
in later years, locating in Clay, Vigo,
Knox and Marion counties. OF the
seven five are yet living, the eldest Of
whom is Mrs. Polly Beheimer, who re-
sides within a mile of the site of the
original old log school house now ninety
years Of age, and the youngest, the Hon.
Isaiah Donham of Vigo county, a few
years ago a member of the Indiana leg
islature now eighty-four years of age.
Mrs. Nancy Townley, living at Vim
cennes, is eighty-nine years; James Fer
guson, living in Clay county, is eighty
seven years, ana Joe Brown, brother of
Dr. Rylan T. Brown, who is row at In
dianapolis, eighty-four years. Mrs. Polly
Gilbert died in Clay county within the
year past at eighty-siX years. and Amos
Laycock. in Vigo county, two years ago,
aged eighty-ive years.
Their aggregate ages show a total of
sos years. Can record equal to this be
produced elsewhere in the United States?

RICHMOND, March 23.-Special.-A
highly sensational suit was filed today
by w. E. Manley VS.. A. E. Croker and
the San Javier mining company of San
Javier. Mexico, to set aside $4,000 worth
OF real estate transferred by the plain
tin TO the defendant for stock in the
mine. under fraudulent presentations.
The story is that a. E. Croker, a real
estate dealer Of this city, went to Mex
leo and returned to solicit stock in a
mine of fabulous richness. which he
claimed he had found there
The stock was put up and the stock
holders sent a representative to Mexico
TO obtain specimens of the ore and have
1t assayed. He did so, the ore showing
great richness. The complaint alleged
that these samples were changed before
being assayed and that the real speci-
mems from the mine were never assayed.
There was 100000 of stock taken here
and the holders of this will soon begin
a concerted action to have a receiver
appointed and have Mr.. Croker and his
friends ousted from control.
If the facts are proven as alleged they
will expose a scheme that for its depth
and the smoothness of it's workings could
hardly be beaten

LOoTING A CORNERSTONE.
First blowing 1t from the Foundation
of N Church.

II AESt biOWlnS III from the rOuhuuAoh
of Church.
COLUMBIA CITY, March 20.-Special.
Yesterday morning about ? o'clock
Farmer William Hopmyers, who lives
six miles south of this city, was awak
ened by a loud explosion.
He went to the window, from which
he could see the German Lutheran
church. and from which direction the re-
port came. 1t was moonlight and he
could plainly see three men at the
church. SuSpecting something wrong,
Mr.. Hopnyers took his shotgun and
started for the church. When within a
few rods Of the building the trespassers
saw him, and at once left on a run to-
ward a swamp about a quarter Of
mile away Their pursuer ordered them
to stop, and at the same time firing, but
the distance was too great for the bird
shot to have any effect, and the men soon
disappeared in the swamp. Mr. Hop
myers notified the neighoborhood, and in
an hour fifty farmers were on the scene.
Upon examining the church it was found
that they had blown the cornerstone
from the foundation, with the evident
intention Of stealing the money that was
supposed to have been buried in the same
when it was laid
When they found that the stone only
contained a few papers, a hymn book
and a bible they were so enraged that
they tore the bible into fragments. The
swamp was surrounded, but the men
escap ped. If they are captured little
mercy Will be shown them.

THE POPE TO THE POLES.
He Urges Obedience to the Constituted
Authority.

ROME. March 23.-The pope's ency-
clial letter addressed to the bishops of
Poland. Russia. Austria and Prussia,
was published today.
His holiness says, in brief that the
mission of the papacy is not to teach
anything against the power of princes
or the utility of nations. but to provide
for the prosperity of all.
The pope then recalls the agreement
with Russia by which the position of the
clergy was immensely improved This
agreement, the pope declares. was OBJ
tanned through requests directly adj
dressed 10 the car. whose spirit of
friendship and justice is highly extolled.
The encyclical proceeds to exhort the
bishops to avoid any spirit of hostility
to the civil authority and to inculcate
among the Poles the observance of the
RuSso-papal agreements.
Addressing the catholics of Austria
and Poland, the pope enjoins them to
feel gratitude for the religious zeal Of
the emperor and concludes with urging
the Poles in Prussia to trust to the
equity of their emperor and to observe
the laws.

4 MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.
The Peculiar Absence from His Home
of Capt. Edward p. Thnyer.

GREENFIELD, March H.-Special.-
During the past fortnight considerable
uneasiness has been felt by the many
friends and relatives of Capt. Edward
P Thayer, popular and influential citi-
zen and a most prosperous meat dealer
Of this city, on account Of his sudden
and strange disappearance. which oc-
Cured on the morning Of the 9th of this
month.
At his request his pretty young wife
of about two summers, formerly of
Franklin, o., accompanied him to In
dainapols, and after a long confidential
conversation the captain vanished from
her sight and no intelligence as to his
whereabouts has been received from any
source whatever since his mysterious
and unaccountable absence.
There can be no reason attributed for
his strange actions. as he has for several
years past been prosperous in business
and his family relations have been pleas
ant in every respect, and his immediate
family is becoming alarmed for fear that
he has been foully dealt with or probably
met with some misfortune.
A search will be Immediately instituted
for his wherea bouts. His most devoted
wife is heart-broken and much bewild-
cred over the sad affair.

very strange and ineXplicible phenome-

The snake has grown darker until now
ii is of a brown color. It has been placed
in a glass jar and warm water supplied
