Upton Stansbury, is said TO be the
greatest chicken raiser i'm this section of
the state lie has llock of chickens
known as "ilue Andilusions. The
breed of hens were formerly from Spain,
but recently from England. Upton
seems To have COTTON a dead cinch on
idea of How To make hens lay" eggs
Joe Swindell and number of other fell
lows who are interested in the egg cul-
ture have been trying for some time
10 get on the right side and learn what
~tansbury uses To produce this effect
upon his hens. They are confident one
or two OF the ingredients are in their pos
session, but not being chemists they are
afraid To use them, fearing they would
Kill the hens. Some of our readers may
think this an "illusion, but look at this
array OF evidence. Beginning last
November Immediately after the
election, twenty eight of these pullets
began To do business, and this is the re-
suit by months. November I3 eggs
December. 33l, January, 40; February
lls. At this time Stansbury rung in
some old hens, and the March record
record was 93l. Mr.. Stansbury could
beat this record. but owing to the fact
that he is a member of the Batchelor's
+ Club, and no woman TO keep tab OF
him when he counts the eggs We believe
it is best To stop right here. But there
/ is no discount on the chickens.

\ Large Funeral.

The funeral services of Mr. John
Swoverland were held at the Dunkard
Brethren church, five miles northwest
of Bourbon, sunday. There was
present the largest crowd of people
that has ever been known To attend
funeral III this section of the country
there being present, al "A low estimate
100 people.
The crowd began gathering ut the
church at 9:30 Il. H., and at 1880 the
house was packed, standing room being
a luxury. People from Argos, Ply
mouth, lnwood, bourbon ana Bremen
were present and, seemingly, everybody
living in the country for miles around.
The teams that were htched along the
road, botl east and west, and extending
for quarter OF mile each way, mum
bered 3l5 regardless of the live inches
Of mud on the roads. There was Il
short service at the home at lO a. m,
after which they left with the remains
for the church 81. miles southwest ar
riying there at ii: 10 a. H., where the
full funeral services were held under
the charge OF Rev. John Sellers, of the
Dunkard Brethern church. The services
were opened by the singing of the
familiar hymn, Nearer My God to
Thee" singing being led by the choir,
after which the following obituary was
read 10y Rev. Sellers.
MIR. John Sw0verland was born June
a, 1887 and died Jan. 3Oth, 1896, aged
~ years, months and & days lie was
married 10 Nancy Jackson .Jan.I1, 1861.
To this union We're born five children,
three SONS and two daughters. who with
the mother survive the father. Mr. SwO-
yerland was kind husband and father,
good to his family, but very high
spirited man. He made every effort TO
improve the country and was No. /
citizen and good nelghbor but like many
others, the one thing most needful, that
is the religion in Jesus Christ, sad in
deed
Mr.. Sellers then opened his sermon
by reading his text from the 9th
Chapter of Matthew and the Hath verse
viz.
Therefore he We also ready for IN
such an hour as ye think not the son of
man cOmeth.'
After the delivery of a most eloquent
sermon of some 30 minutes, the re
mains were laid TO rest in the grave,
after which the last sad rites of our old
friend j ohm Swoverland were finished
10y short prayer by Rev. Sellers.
The following gentlemen of Bourbon
acted as pail bearers, Matthew Erwin,
Austin Downing, James Sherwood,

Saw Swoverland regain his feet after he

Band of Canaanite>.

Lewis Canaan is again disturbing the
even tenor of the ways of the church
going people TO the north of Bourbon.
\ report to The INDEPENDENT SAYS
that he had another fit or two Friday
night at a Methodist revival meeting
being conducted by Rev. Singer, of
Bourbon, six miles north of that place.
He is reported TO have executed d series
of most extraordinary and startling
contortionS. lie fell upon the flOor,
frothed at the mouth and writhed and
erked about awhile and then got up.
The interrupted service was resumed,
but did not continue long when Canaan
began repetition Of the performance
and the minister requested that his
friends remove him from the chapel,
which they did not do. He was re-
moved, however, by two strong and
good men, whereupon his friends arose
in huff, set their faces to the way of
exit and departed IN high dudgeon to the
neighboring house of Simon ilanes
where they held a worshipful service of
their own and permitted Canaan to
manifest the working of the Lord at
the dictates of his own impulses. HIS
adherents are said To have had very
interesting meeting.

Al The Inquest.

Mondays incidents regarding the
shooting of John Swoverland, before the
coroner were along the same line taken
Saturday. The inquest adjourned at )
o'clock To meet at fl Tuesday.
The only conflicting evidence given
SO far is said to be regarding the meet
ing of Stewart and Swoverland IN the
road. The greater number of the wit
nesses state that the old man called
him out in the road AMI then shot at
Stewart. The evidence given 10y John
Carter Is TO the effect that the old man
told Stewart to stop, when he started t.
meet him. 1t is probable the evidence
will be completed tomorrow

Gas May be Cut OIL.

\ petition signed by leading farmers
and real estate people of Madison coun-
ty has been addressed to the county
commissioners asking them To meet in
special session and condemn all nat
ural gas pipe lines IN that county that
have a pressure of more than 300poundS
to the square inch. This means that
all the lines conveying gas To outside
cities are TO be put under the ban. \
decision of the supreme court last week
was the effect that all pipe lines hav-
no a pressure of l2ore than 300 pounds
To the square inch can be condemned
as dangerous. This would make it
possible for the commissioners of Ind
lana To deal an eifectual blow to all
lines such as those furnishing Chicago,
Indianapolis, Richmond, Lafayette,
Fort Wayne and other Indiana and
Ohio cities with gas. None OF them
can operate with a pressure of less
than 300 pounds as II would n OF force
the gas the distance.
II is more than likely that the com
mssionerS of the gas belt counties will
act together in this matter, as people
living in the gas belt have been trying
Intellectually for years to find some way
of heading off foreign companys that are
sucking the very life out of the belt.
Ii is estimated that there are 800 miles
of maines IN this state that are thus
ieoparaized. Goshen News of Jan, Both.
