a aueer Monument.

Standing in Mount Hope cemetery at
Logansport, Ind, is one of the queerest
monuments ever erected to the mem
ory of any individual. 1t is over the
grave of William III. Reighter. The
statue part of the monument represents
Mr.. Reighter as he was attired when
stricken with heart disease. Mr..
Reighter was ditch contractor and
prominent in his locality. 1t was on a
rainy day that death came, and he was
well prepared for the weather. He was
wearing q broad brimmed hat, mack
intosh over his suit OF clothes and his
trousers legs were in his rubber boots.
The members of the family. wishing to
remember him as he looked when last
he bade them goodby, employed man
about the same size and build as Mr..
Reighter to have his photograph taken
in the clothes last worn by the de-
ceased, and when he had carried out
the idea they replaced the head on the
photograph with the head of likeness
of Mr.. Reighter. This picture was sent
to sculptor in Italy, with the request
that a life sized statue be made from
it in Italian marble. The statue is true

hundred and seventy-five six-room
miners houses here that are to be

whispered in political circles for several
days. Who started it nobody will tell.
and no one will father it, but the polt-
ticians are relating it, nevertheless.
1t is an alleged explanation for the
presidents apparent change of front or
the tariff question.
The story goes that after the congress
adjourned, and while the special session
of the senate was on and the president
was preparing for his western trip the
president was visited by a number OF
republicans from out of town. who
came for some heart to heart talks
with him cumulatively.
Prominent in coterie were members
of the American Protective Tariff
league, the organization which makes
business of promoting high tariff
sentiment. These men, it is said, told
the president frankly that if he on his
western trip doomed tariff revision the
high tariff republicans would set to
work to defeat his denomination. He
was told, it is said. that this faction
would join with the trust interests,
already known to be dissatisfied with
Mr.. Roosevelts course, but afraid to
tackle him alone, and that the two
would be powerful enough to accom-
plish his defeat.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 11.-An ef-
fort to hold an insanity commission on
Rufus Cantrell, the negro who is
charged with grave rohhing, broke up
in row yesterday. Charges of brib-
cry Were openly made by one of the
attorneys representing Cantrell. 1t was
also charged that an effort was being
made to railroad" Cantrell to the in
sane asylum so that he could not APP
pear as witness against DR.. AleXan-
der, whose trial is set for next week.
When Squire Enrich declared the court
open and that the examination of wit

HE said:
II have right to see that no man
is railroaded to the insane asylum in
stead of getting his just dues for crimes
committed against the state. l stand
on my rights, and demand that this
commission continue the inquest until
after the trial of DR.. Alexander"
After listening to arguments of at
torneys who claimed to represent Cam

shing approached the fort last Monday
he was fired upon and two men Sc
verely wounded. There was nothing
left but to overcome the resistance.
The place was very strongly surround
ed by ditch thirty feet deep. The
first attack drove the defenders out OF
the exterior of the trench.
On April the fort was assaulted and
the ditch crossed upder fire over bam-

WHAT WILL PRESIDENT sAY7
Speculation on RooseveIt's Talks in


Washington, April 1.-THE east is
waiting to see what President Roose-
Welt will say when he reaches Iowa.
1t expects him, so far as can be judged,
by editorials in the eastern press, to
follaw the pace he set in Wisconsin,
and Minnesota. Politicians here repre-
senting all sorts of political IDEAS, es-
pecially in regard to the tariff, are
agog to see how Governor Cummins
will come out of the fray
Men of influence in Iowa who are in
Washington holding down political
positions predict that the terms OF the
platform upon which Governor Cum
MINIS will stand for second term will
be so framed that the Iowa idea will
cease to be a matter of contention, and
that the Hawkeye state will have the
honor of making the national platform
for 1904. so far as the republican party
lis concerned.
Gov. Cummins, it is believed here,
stands for the best idea of the revision
Of the tariff along republican lines and
within the house of it's friends. He will
write the platform upon which he will
take a second nomination, and the east
is looking to him to stand upon plat
form rejecting the speeches made by
the president in wisconsin and Minnes-
|ota.

Where DRUM. Came From.

Drums are probably an eastern idea
introduced by the Crusaders into Eu-
rope They are frequently mentioned
in the accounts of the first crusade.
When Edward III. of England and his
queen made their triumphal entry into
Calais i'll 1347, ''tambours" or drums
were among the instruments which
were played in their honor. Another
of these was called "nacaire' or ket-
tledrum, taken, together with its name,
from the Arabs. The poet Chaucer
also mentions this instrument in his
description of the tournament in "The
knights Tale"
The king generally kept a troop of
these bandsmen or minstrels in his en-
ploy, and we read that Edward II. on
one occasion gave sum of GO shillings
to Roger, the trumpeter; Janino, the
nakerer and others for their perform
ances. Another minstrel was called
the "cheveretter," or player on the bag
pipe

On the north side of the c. NJ. q
ST. P. depot the company has a small
box placed for the use of agents and
freight crews, for exchanging or plac-
ing therein way bills for convenience
sake. Not long ago Agent Glover upon
opening this box found therein some
letters and a postal card, dropped
therein no doubt, by a passenger going
thru, and who mistook the box for a
United States mail depository In any
event the postal card was written by
some young man in Indiana, directed
back to the home folks and stated
that Iowa wasn't so much wild

one camp of Indians just passed thru
meaning Tama resevatiom, he had
seen no other red skins. Said the farms
looked fine, and most of them were

that some people from "Injiany" are

The sricfde OF Hannibal.

Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fled to
the east to avoid falling into the hands
of the Romans and found temporary
security in the dominions OF Mithrl-
dates. He melted this monarch to en-
gage ina Roman war; and, his advice
as to it's conduct being rejected. the
war proved unsuccessful, and Mithrl-
dates was required as one OF the con-
ditions Of peace to deliver up Hannibal
to his enemies, the Romans. The IN
fortunate Carthasinian heard of his ap-
proaching fate, swallowed the poison
which for years he had carried about
his person and expired just as the en-
voys arrived to take him in charge.
