the queer picture considerable study

the picture as a curiosity"
The club house before which this
photograph was taken stands aim
north and south-that is, little north
east and southwest. 1t Is sixty feet
long and around it is a veranda eight
feet wide, sixty feet long and nine feet
high The gentleman who was photo
graphed stood facing a trite west of
south and the sun was full in his face.
This caused his forehead to scowl, and
a close look at the two heads will show
that the scowl is duplicated on larg-
er scale in the gigantic head. The day
was perfectly clear and the subject
was on an elevation twenty-five feet
above the river surface and distance
of about 200 feet from its bank.
Under powerful microscope the
shadow head has the appearance of a
vapor and it is transparent to re-
markable fineness. North of the club
house there are a group of small build
ings and further down the hill towards
the river stands another outbuilding-
the clubs canoe house. Looking
through the left eye with the aid Of
the glass you can see the entire vista
of about 250 feet in the rear, which
looks like an alleyway. In the right
eye is shown the roof of an ice house
which stands $50 feet behind where
the subject of the photograph stood
when the picture was taken, and
twenty-five feet to the west of the
spot; making a true north and south
line. A portion Of the bank of the
river is also plainly shown and there
is also shown in this connection what
appears to be group of People on the
river bank. A line will be observed
through the left eye and this is the

north and about twelve feet to the
west, or ten feet from the edge CT the
veranda in the rear. The cleatS at
the bottom of the staff are easily dis
tinguished and even the spots on the
pole caused by the ravages of the
weather are to be seen. The light OBJ
ject above the immense head is the
top of a spruce tree and the larger
tree to one side is a white pine which
stands twenty-five feet 10 the north Of
the flagstaff. The foliage about the
gigantic head is an exaggeration Of
grass. There is no Shrubbery on the
lawn. The pipe in the mouth of the

Avoid an Open Rupture.
sLOMA SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. 25.-
Several parties direct from Saline
district court house, in the Cherokee
nation, the scene of Monday nights
triple tragedy, report very grave
state of affairs. 1t is feared that fur
ther trouble will result on account OF
the bad feeling engendered among the
different factions. The sheriff from
Flint and Goingstakes districts says
several United States marshals are on
the ground endeavoring to make ar
rests, and, if possible, prevent further
bloodshed. There is a bitter feeling
among the Indians, and extreme pre-
cautions have been taken to guard
against an open rupture and loss of
life on both sides. Some of the white
citizens, who have been notified to
leave town, have done SO, but the men
are, as a rule, men of nerve, who say
they will remain and fight it out, il
necessary, to save the lives of their
families.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 20.-Mrs w.
H. Thompson. whose babe was buried alive
last Saturday night and was found still liv-
ing when disinterred yesterday, told the
police that George Cotton of Hume, Ill,
paid her expenses in Danville, H., where
the baby born Aug. 8, and that he
helped her bury it. 1t was on account CT
her relations with Cotton that her husband
left her last fall. She says Cotton told
her the baby must be done away with, and
last Saturday evening she arrived at the
railroad station near her fathers house
with an understanding to meet Cotton.

CLINTON, ind, Aug. 2.-The largest
crowd ever assembled in Vermillion county,
estimated at 5000, attended the soldiers and
old settlers reunion to-day. The main fea-
lures were two balloon ascensions and two
leaps from the railroad bridge to the water
by Hugh White, the Casey coal miner.
Professor Bill Dennis, who was to make
the ascensions, was feeling indisposed and
to avoid disappointment his son, aged eight
cen, made the two trips and leaps from
the clouds 1t was the boys first attempt
but both aSCenSOnS were successful. The
big colored camp meeting begins tonight
and many of the people from the country
and adjacent towns are remaining in the
city to attend it. The city will be crowded
One of the advertised features of the old
soldiers reunion here yesterday was a bal
loon ascension, and the crowd was treated
to an episode not on the bills. The balloon
was slow in ascending, and the trapeze
to which Professor Dennis was clinging
caught in the trees, and was dragged from
one to another in manner which excited
the livelieSt fears for the safety of the
aeronaut. At no time, however, did he
lose his presence of mind, and, after an
exciting experience, he managed to free
himself from the trapeze and cling to the
top of a high tree, from whence he made
his descent in safety. The balloon con-
tinued its flight, alighting about one mile
distant.

AssAssINs NOT WANTED.

A foreign dispatch says that Anarchists
disguised workingmen are leaving
France by hundreds for the United States
The immigration officers should be able TO
recognize the greater part of them and send
them back on the ships on which they come
as notorious criminals. We have no place
for them because we have no place for those
who preach assassination.
In this connection it may be said that the
authorities cannot permit the advocacy of
assassination as has recently been done in
one of Debs's Social Democratic clubs and
in New York. Freedom of speech does not
cover the defense of the assassination of
officials no matter who they are 1t may
be said that those who preach anarchistic
heresfes intend to murder and consequently
they cannot well be prevented If they do
not do what they propose, it is because in
purpose they have not the courage of their
tongues.
Freedom of speech has it's limitations. 1t
is one of it's limitations that it shall not
put life and property in peril. Even when
speakers declare that they will not take life
or destroy property, they should not be pei
mitted to indulge in inflammatory speech
which will incite others to do so. In every
city there are men in whose defective or
distorted minds are the germs of violence
and murder They are always sure to at
tend Anarchists meetings. and there the
germs are aroused to life and purpose. They
go forth to commit murder. The Anarchists
who have made speeches and written books
are not those who have killed officials, but
the cranks in whose minds they have reused
the desire to murGer. But for these incen-
diary speeches these persons with defective
natures would not think of murder. Be-
cause they put murder and incendiarism in
to the minds of the weak, the preachers of
anarchy should be suppressed in this coun-
try. 1t should make no difference who the
official may be in whose assassination the
speakers glory or who applaud, since those
who have the demon of murder aroused in
their hearts will assume that all officers
of the law and all men of position are pub
lie enemies to be murdered
If a person should stand in any public
place and urge a crowd of people to set fire
to certain buildings or go forth to set fire
promiscuousy, the police would arrest him.
The authorities would arrest him, because,
if they did not, those in the crowd might
assume that those who enforce the laws do
not hold incendiarism much crime as it
is thus encouraging the fire bug and the vi
cious to set fires. They would arrest such
a person because he was putting all prop
erty in jeopardy. Why should not the same
officers of the law arrest and send to prison
all persons who glory in assassination or
who assail constituted authority with
threats of assassination and anarchy?
If these I4ropean assassins are coming
here, they should be watched If they
undertake to advocate assassination they
should be arrested and either sent back or
punished as dangerous characters. There is
no freedom of speech for such people, be-
cause they advocate murder.

JOSEPH SCHUYLER MISSING.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENVILIE. o.. Aug. 20.-This community
for the past two days has been excited on ac-
count of the sudden disappearance of Joseph
Schiller, residing alone about mile from the
city limits. Up to Monday night he with
friends. in his neighborhOod, and since that time

his wife wanted possession. a man named Daniel
Commons, accompanied by a friend. was here
Monday and spent some time with Mrs. Schiller
ton as to when Commons left the city.
Since then Mrs. Schiller refuses to be
interviewed. The town and country people for
fifteen miles around, with the police officers have
been busy to-day trying to solve the mystery, at
first supposed TO be joke, but it is unsettled
yet. Traces of human blood have been found
on the walk and rear door frame az the residence.
The door was found unlocked but nothing is
misaing except pair of overalls and old hat,
which MI. Schiller wore the last time he
seen. 1t is said his private papers are all gone.
The common conclusion is that he has been muir
