SHOT AT THE CASHIER
And Then Demanded the Contents of
 the Bank

F'ortville. Ind, July 24.-About noon today, while Assistant Cashier Prettipo was in the Fortville bank alone, a we'll dressed man came in, pointed a re- Volver at Prettipo and fired. The ball went wild. The man then demanded that Prettipo give him $2,5OO or be killed.
 The shot attracted the attention of people outside the bank and the robber ran. He escaped to the woods half a mile away, where a posse of twenty five men captured him after wounding him. He fired his pistol repeatedly, but hit nobody. The man refuses to give his name. He is not seriously injured.

The Pension List.

The number of pensioners upon
the rolls at the beginning of the
new fiscal year on July | had reach
ed the astounding total of 999, 446,
number little short of the stand
ing armies of France and Germany
combined. The whole number of
men upon the rolls of the Union
army at the beginning of 1865, the
last year of the war, was $50, 400.
II will be seen that the army OF
pensioners is now greater than the
army in actual service at it's high
est. There have been some addi-
tons to the pension lists from more
recent service, but there are few in
comparison with those that date
from the Civil War,
The growth OF the pension list
has gone on at rate increasing
with the lapse of time. A year
after the close of the war, July |,
1866, the number was 126, 722; the
next year it was 153, 1873, and so it
grew in regular progression until,
in the course of twenty years, it
had reached 365, 1888. At that time
it was thought that the maximum
had been reached and that the mum
Der of pensioners would naturally
diminish. But pensioners are of
those of whom few die and none re-
sign. The lists continued to eX-
pand. In 1892 there was an addi-
ton of 5000 names, bringing the
total up to 876,068, and from that
on the increase proceeded more
equally to 993,714 in 1898 and
thence to the figures given above.
1t is expected that acts passed
by the last Congress will add 10000
more names to the list. The
amount appropriated for pensions
is about $40, 100000 annually,
which is considerably more than
one-fourth of all the expenditures
of the United States. Certainly
this republic has not been un-
grateful to its defenders, and their
remote descendants. = Evansville

LIGHTNING BURNS RESIDENCE.
Second Disastrous Stroke at Ripley
in Past Two Days.

Last Sunday afternoon about 4
o'clock lightning struck the resi-
dence of w. F. Carmack at Curve,
a small town about four miles north
of Ripley, setting the house on FIRE.
The entire building, large frame
structure, and contents were de-
stroyed. Fortunately none OF the
family was at home at the time,
hence no one was hurt.
This is the. second stroke of light
ming that has visited this vicinity
in the past two days, and the fact
Is remarked about by many people
here.
When the three men were killed
at Nut Bush yesterday by a stroke
of lightning and the house of Car
mack destroyed to day, the two in
cidents in the same neighborhood
in so short a time gives the thing a
queer look. The loss on the house
and contents will amount to $1,000.
The funeral OF the three men
who were killed at Nut Bush by
lightning yesterday afternoon, M.

cemetery at the little town where
they lived.
The services were attended by
large number of people, all OF the
parties having many friends in the

IT'S true there are defects in them
which should be corrected; but the
same defects can be found in all
County Institutes, and we obligate
ourself to demonstrate it if necessa-
nv. IT'S an easy matter to ascertain
the cause of most all the criticisms
of our State Superintendent. We
know of one educator OF West Ten
nessee who said publlcally before a
BODY of teachers that our State SUI
perintendent is the poorest the
State ever had; that he had not
visited over two or three Institutes
in the State, that he was simply a
politician and nothing more. While
we are not posing as defender of
any one, we believe in truth and
Justice to all. Fitzpatrick has Wis
tied over thirty Institutes, many of
them State Institutes. He went to
every town in the State two years
since, where he located the State
Institutes. He has ISSUED his an
nual reports Notwithstanding
no other Superintendent had done
for years. Under his administra-
ton the public schools have taken
on new life, the State Teachers
Association and Public School OF
6cers Association have grown in
power and influence and new life is
manifest IN every department of
public school work. The teacher
who made the statement referred
to above once made application to
a friend to secure HIM work as in
structor in a State Institute. In

Bomb Into the Camp.

New York, August 9.-The rea-
son came to light yesterday after
noon for the vociferous denials in
Wall street before the market
closed of the contemplated merger
of all Southern and Southwestern
railroads which was authorltatively
announced two days ago with the
statement that it would be COM
pleted as soon as the Northern Pa
cific merger was declared legal.
The Offices of certain railway mag
mates, including President Yoakum
of the Frisco, John w. Gates, ]. F.
Morgan, w. B. Leeds of the Rock
Island and other lines involved have
been flooded with private telegraph
ic advices of the probable action of
Tennessee to stop any such attempt.
The great railroad manipula tors
have been told by legal representa-
tives in Tennessee that so strong
has local sentiment developed
against any merger of the four big
systems that cross Tennessee which
are to be included in the proposed
merger that Gov. McMillin has been
called upon and even besought to
call an extra session of the Tenues-
see Legislature not only to protest
against such a combination, but to
enact legislation actually prohibit
ing it. 1t is learned that the Sea-
board Air Line, Louisville & Nash
vile, Atlantic Coast Line, Rich
mond Terminal and other allied
corporation officials and attorneys
here have received the most emphat-
ic advices to the effect that if any
merger as stated of Southern and
Southwestern systems is contem
plated upon the proposed lines
named it will have to be done eX-
ceedingly quietly and with no more
flourish of trumpets unless the en-
tire South is to be aroused and the
Legislature of every state involved
is to be called into special session
to enact laws to stop the scheme.
Last night in spite of the reti-
cence observed it was PLAIN to be
seen there is worrying in high quar-
tiers and that the orders given to
the various Wall street organs in
their editions to strongly deny the
probabilities of any merger were
carried out to the letter 1t looks
as though the Tennesseans had
thrown a bomb in the Southern
railway merger scheme in spite Of
the action of the Memphis city au-
thorities giving the Illinois Central
paramount rights in terminals in
that city for seventy-fve years to
come. 1t may lead to new align
ment all around for a time.

Amasa HOlden's
Square Deal
B~ycLARENcE HAWKES..

A MASA HOLDEN was not a miser,
"a neither was he a skinhint, but at
the same time he always looked at q
dime several times before he parted
company with Il. his neighbors said
that he was a trihe near, which Is q
provincial expression that describes
TO q I the prevailing characteristics
of many a New Highlander.
So hard II Is TO perceive this eth
zeal equipoise that an interesting
thesis might be written upon the
well-meaning, prudent people who
have started out by being saving and
careful and have ended by being
miserly and mean to the last degree,
and finally starved their souls into q
wretched penury that Is about as bad
as prodigality.
Amasa had been known to count
the pears upon a favorite tree, that
he might know II the boys took any
and he had often boosted that when
a young man he had lost a cent at
a certain spot in the road, and so
deeply was this loss engraved upon
his mind that he never passed that
place but he thought of the long-lost
penny and computed what 1t would
have been worth if it had been at in
terest ever since, instead of rusting
IN the mud.
"Six per cent. compounded twice
annerly, that is what does the bust
ness, and more eff you kin git it."
This was his maxim for all times and
the one he invariably quoted when
his opinion was asked on any ques-
ton whatsoever.
Aunt Betsey, his better half in
every sense of the word, had sick
ened of this ~suffocating penury and
passed into the old cemetery two
years before the incident of the fair
and square bargain, and, although
she had not had a new gown during
the last 20 years of her life and had
always been scrimped for the neces'
stiles of life, yet she had the finest
headstone in the cemetery, upor
which her many virtues were emu.
merated.
Amasa had never bee the same
since Aunt Betsey's death, and signs
of the final disintegration were only
too apparent. The second spring
after found him so far from robus.
that he had decided, after many de
bates with himself, to let out thu
sugar place, something that neve.
would have happened had he beel
the old-time Amasa.
