A Disgraceful Affair.

The Indiana legislature closed Mon
day at noon with one of the most
disgraceful affairs that ever occurred
in the state or perhaps in the United
States. The trouble arose over the
action of the governor Withholding
until the last minute his veto of a bill
supplementing Custodian Griffin, a
Democrat with Republican. 1t was
his scheme to hold it to the last min
ute and then the legislature could not
pass it over his veto, as its statute
adjournment would take place at u
O'Clock. The governors secretary
started with the bill within ten min
utes of the time. When the COVER
nOr's private secretary arrived with
the veto he found the door locked,
but with the aid of his friends the
door was forced and then the fun
began. Reyolvers were drawn and a
general rough and tumble fight en-
sued, but the secretary never
reached the speakers chair. Many
persons were seriously injured, and
Adams of Paris county perhaps fatal
lY hurt.

headed "Populists dying out" Yes,
they have been dying out ever since
1890, but somehow their total vote
almost doubles each recurring cleo
ton, until now it stands close to the
two million mark. 1t requires more
than the mere announcement of
death to make funeral. Populism
will not die until the great principles
which it breathed into life are estab-
Iished. Never fear, neighbor.

"Scrap" Social.

A very profitable and also amusing
time was passed Tuesday night at the
NJ. E. church. The "Scrap" social
was an entire success. 1t was largely
attended by members of all churches
and the receipts we're very satisfact-
DRY. As each one entered the church
he or she was given small scrap of
colored silk and partners were found
by matchingthe colOrs. This method
created much merriment and
thoroughly tested the powers of some
of those present to discern different
colors. Further features OF the even
ing were refreshments consisting of
cocoa and waters and the rendition Of
a well-prepared program.

offence for which the dog has been i'm
pr soned, for about year ago he was ar
re sted for mixing himself too numerous
about certain house on state street
Nothing could be proved against him, so
he was warned and discharged.

AUGUSTUS LITTLE DANCERS.
How They are Progressing Under Prot.
Youag's Instruction.

Prof Young has the largest class Of
children that has been seen together for
many years in Augusta.
Some of the little tots are only five
years old, and the professor assures us
that before spring he will be able to educate
them to dance many of the new figures
that are so pretty in perfect unison. 1t is
really wonderful to see the youngest of
the class, as welIas the older ones master
the new dances so quickly. On last We'd
nesday afternoon he succeeded in teaching
the entire class to perform two OF the new
dances in perfect time to tho music. He
seems to have an unlimited amount Of
patience and never gets. cross with the
little ones. Many of the parents were
present and all are delighted with their
progress
IL was the second lesson, and the class
was more than double the number Of the
first and as many have sent word to the
professor that they should have their little
ones join at the next lesson, it bids fair
to test the capacity OF the hall to accom-
modate them all
We are glad to see our people SO en-
thusiastic, for it IS move N the right
direction. There is no place where the
young people can acquire the easy and
graceful movements. that nice polished
appearance that ,ty demands, as readi
ly as at such school
The professor is very strict, never
allowing any improper actiurs. such as
running across the floor, or he numerous
things children are SD apt TO do, but by
showing the pupils just how bad they look
who do such things instills into their
mind at an early, and We believe proper
time, those nice feelings that show the
perfect lady and gentleman of culture all
through life.
We congratulate the classes of Prof.
Young in having teacher who is devoted
to his art, and exerts his utmost efforts to
give each pupil the full value of their
money
The evening class has increased fully as
much as the afternoon, and also bids fair
to fill tho hall at its third lesson.
