FEEDING WHEAT TO HOGS.
Indiana Farmers Say II Pays Better
to Sell the Corn.
From the indianapolis News.

From the indianapolis News
The price of wheat has gone so
low that many Indiana farmers are
feeding it to hogs. 1t is said to be
the first time in the history of the
States that this has been done.
Farmers who are in the habit oil
making calculations say that SO
long as wheat remains at the pres
ent price they can make more
money by feeding their wheat tt
hogs and selling their corn, than by
feeding their corn to hogs, as is
usually done. 1t is estimated that
one bushel of wheat in feeding hog:
is equal to two bushels of corn.
The highest price paid for whea'
at the country stations in Indians
now is 43 cents. Corn is worth from
AZ to IS cents. Hogs r bringing
a good price, and as the crop seems
to be small the farmers expect then
to 60 higher when the fall marke
opens. Hogs are now selling a
from $500 to $5.35. Farmers es
innate that with hogs at this pric'
they can get about IS cents a bushe
for their wheat by putting it int
pork.
1t is thought the wheat crop in tn
State will be 900, 900 bushels NOR
than the estimate. The average
yield throughout the central par
of the State is twenty-five bushel
an acre.

Quick Work.

John Syler, the son of a well-to-
do farmer near Vandalia, and his
pal, John Hughes, a no-account
lounger, attempted to rob Read &
Coons' hardware store in Vandalia
last Sunday morning about one
o'clock.
They effected an entrance by break
ing the glass of the fro mt door and
Hughes entered while Syler stood
guard outside. T. B. Mansfield,
hearing the glass break from across
the street, where he slept, took the
situation in at once and after arous-
ing a neighbor and procuring a
shot gun they both captured Syler,
who was held by other arrivals on
the scene, while Mansfield slipped
to the rear of the building and ar
rested Hughes progress with the
gun as he elected himself from un-
der the back door. They were both
held till morning when they were
duly arrested. They we're bound
over till the meeting of the grand
Jury in the sum of $500 each.
Syler's father went his sons bond.
Hughes being unable to procure
bond was brought up to this city

bestowed upon Mansfield on account
OF his quick work in catching the
thieves.

A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
Ed. Beatty's Team Jumps off an
Embankment With SeriOus Conse-
quenees to Himself aud Wife.

A frightful accident happened to
Edward Beatty and family Tuesday
afternoon about 3 O'Clock which, in
all probability, will result fatally to
Mrs. Beatty, aud Ed. is also ser
iously hurt.
Mr.. Beatty, his wife and three
children were in a spring wagon and
while crossing Salt River bridge at
Groves Chapel, lear Cant, the
horses became frightened at some
sacks of wheat lying in a pile just
off the bridge approach and at once
became unmanageable. The team
jumped off the embankment 8 or 10
feet hight carrying the wagon and
occupants down. Mrs. Beatty was
so badly injured that there is little
or no hope for her recovery. Mr..
Beatty had his collar bone broken
and was otherwise seriously hurt.
The children escaped uninjured ex-
cept a few slight bruises. The wagon
and harness were torn all to pieces,
as the horses ran quite a distance
before being stopped. Mr.. Beatty
is peculiarly unfortunate, as he was
Just recovering from a broken leg
and was using a crutch at the time
of the accident.
The runaway was caused by some
person, whose wagon had broken
unloading and piling sacks
OF wheat on the side of the approach
of the bridge and the horses did not
see the object until right onto il.
MIR. Lycurgus Botkin says it is a
wonder that the whole family were
not killed.

Several of our young people, tax

spent last Sunday in St. Louis.
They report a fine time and only
regret that their stay was so short.
School opened last Monday. The
patrons thought best TO have it be.

The attendance was not large. The
patrons should see that their child,

start to school unprecedented against
the teacher. The success of the
school does not lie wholly in the
hands of the teacher. Miss Melissa
Jesse has charge of the school. She
is an ambitious, competent young
lady, comes well recommended, and
will teach a good school.
Our fair is not far distant. All

amusement and education along this
line, but also that they may aid in
making the fair a successful one;
for the fairs We had in past years
brought many strangers and no little
amount of money to Mexico, and

fits the adjacent country. Our fair

carried off first prize in the sweep
