of this fact 10 know that they make their
own fiddles out of cornstalks. producing in
struments which, for breadth and purity OF
tone surpass the Stradiyarius. Ffddlers in
Indiana are divided into two classeS-meiS-

The Wabash Changing Its Banks.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
SULLIVAN. Ind, March 24.-The Wabash
is changing it's channel at a bend in the
river Immediately north of Hutsonville. Ill,
about sixteen miles southwest of this city,
and through this agency the State of In
diana will acquire about four hundred acres
of land that belongs to the State Of Illinois.
The river has been cutting this channel for
years. II is generally believed that when
the present high waters subside a sand bar
will be found across the old channel at the
upper end of the cutoff, and by this means
the transfer will become complete and that
part of Illinois across the river at the
mouth of the bayou will be found in In
diana. The new channel will shorten the
course of the river by two and one-half
miles. There is f0O-acre piece Of ground
between the old and new channel owned
by j. Arson Parker of Terre Haute. Mr..
Parker, IL is said, has dug a ditch where
the new channel is and allowed fiat boats,
but not steamboats,. TO pass through IL and
calls il his private river" He has also
placed a cable across the river channel and
believes that the government will have TO
pay him bonus for the use OF the river.
