YOUNG DECATUR COUNTY FARMER
FATALLY KICKED BY HORSE.

oecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, Nov. 1.-Isom Up
dixie, prominent young farmer of this
county, living near Waynesburg, was the
victim OF a distressing and fatal accident
Saturday night. Updike, who is about nine
teen years of age, drove TO Pleasant View,
where a religious revival was being held,
with Miss Emma Tremain, young school
teacher of this county. After services were
over they started to drive home. On the
return the horse became fractions and tried
to run off, Updike in trying to stop the
animal leaned over the dashboard too far
and was struck in the neck by one of the
horses hoofs as it desperately kicked and
lunged. The blow knocked the young man
from the buggy. and as he released the
lines the animal dashed forward. In
instant the buggy was overturned and Miss
Tremain was thrown into a barbed wire
fence. She was severely cut and bruised
and for few moments was unconscious.
The accident happened in a lonely stretch
OF road and 1t was nearly an hour before
any one came along. Miss Tremain,
soon as she regained her senses went to
search for Updike and found him lying
near by dead. She was compelled TO wait
beside his dead body until some one came
to her assistance.

WHO WAS TO BLAMEs
Wall Streets Attitude Towards the
1901 Bubble.
New York Post.

New York Post.
Nothing is more striking to a visitor at
Wall street, these days, than the unanirn-
ity of opinion regarding financiers respon-
sible for the great bubble-blowing episode
of 1901. This strain of morality is no bad
development in stock exchange ideals but
there are elements of humor in it, They
were detected under precisely similar cir
cumstanceS, exactly 1S2 years ago. Lon
don's South Sea Bubble had burst: South
Sea stock had fallen from LOO to $50. and
forced liquidation was still breaking a
helpless market. Change Alley, to a man,
was hotly denouncfng all the authors of the
imitation scheme. On Sept. 80, 172l, plain
spoken London newspaper, Applebee's 8
Journal, remarked follows:
we have an old English prOverb very
significant In itself, and verified often by
practice. Give the loser leave to speak,
have given our passion vent a great while
and have rallied most plentifully at the
law managers of the South Sea stock
and particularly at the directors by name
But that which very much surprises me
Is TO hear, not the losers, but the winners
rail. 'Tis a merry story to hear these men
open against the South Sea Company
against Mr.. knight, against the brokers'
and against everybody that had share in
carrying 1t on. Is it not unaccountable
for espousing those things which they
called bubbles when they themselves es-
poused the great cheat OF advanced SUBJ
scriptions TO such a degree as to give in
lists OF vast sums of those subscriptions,
and that at a rate which they well knew
could never be complied with?
1t would appear from this citation that
not only was the new finance" Of 1901 no
novelty in history. but that underwriting
syndicates. undigested securities, and sub,
sequent high morality among financiers
who had failed TO unload in time are as
old as stock exchanges.

LONDON Dally MALL
Men, as the result of the influence of their
tailors and valets, either consciously or un-
consciously desirous of posturing In the
picture presented by their women folk, are
now adopting a number of the early Vic

modes accepted as perfection by femininity.

cultivating as best they may the bottle

of elegance seventy years ago, the dandies
of to-day are gradually but surely adapting
their appearance TO semblance OF the same
period.
Averse as they are from startling changes,
men make their concessions to style first of
all in small but effective items One OF the
most noticeable will be observed an ac-
