Col. Josias r. King was born in the city
of Washington In 1882. When a young man
he went to Florida with a surveying party,
where he remained until 1850, when he re-
turned to Washington. After spending a
short time I'm Georgetown college he went to
California and engaged in mining and agri-
culture for several years. In 1856 he again
came to st. Paul and engaged in the sur
veying business.
Col. King was a member of the famous
Pioneer Guards Of St, Paul, and when
President Lincoln called for 5000 men. he
at once placed his name on the muster roll
of the company being organized by Capt.

the service of his country in the great
struggle that was soon to follow, although
there are other claimants for that honor.

THROUGH SOLID STONE.
indianapolis Southern Railroad Has
Hard Nut to Crack.

Bedford Ond) Mail.
One of the most important pieces OF work
in connection with the construction OF the
indianapolis Southern Railroad is the tun-
mel two miles from Stanford, in Monroe
county. During the last week a force OF
men has been engaged in clearing the land
about the two approaches and a corps OF
carpenters is building a number OF shacks
which Will serve as shelter for the men
working on the contract Work on the
tunnel itself l. expected to begin at once.
II will be pushed through a hill of solid
limestone. AS the tunnel is to be 100 feet
long. the contractors say that IL will
quire more time TO construct than was al
first expected. II had been thought that a
greater part OF the tunnel would go through
soil, but a subsequent investigation has
revealed the fact that the drills must be
bored through hard quality of limestone.
II is asserted by some that IL will take
a year to complete the tunnel. while the
people at the head of the new road say that
the builders are under contract TO have the
roadbed finished between indianapolis and
Bloomington by the first Of the year. 1t
Is conceded that the tunnel will be an
engineering feat. \ force of men will work
from each side of the tunnel and meet at
the middle The stone 10 be taken out Is
not the quality used for building purposes.

blasting give tine 20 take IL out In such
shape that IL could be used for construc-
ton purposes But IL will not be useless.
as IL can be broken for ballasttng the

Noblesville Ond.) Ledger.
Hickory nuts walnuts and papaws. sure
harbingers OF autumn, have arrived in
Noblesvilie. As yet none have been placed
on the market but they are already in many
private homes although in small quantities.
James Thorn and DR.. j. Il. Pettijohn, both
lovers of papaws, brought the first samples
of the fruit that We have seen this year to
the city several days ago.
The first frost OF the season enticed many
boys TO the country Sunday after walnuts
and hickory nuts, and IL Is said that there
has not been such large crop I'm many
years as Is on the trees now, and especially
OF hickory nuts.

fall" says James Thorn. lis gathering tho
papaw and the beautiful surroundings in
which the fruit Is found. In open forest
glades IL thrives TO perfection and there
is something gratifying in finding a great
papaw bush OF tropical beauty. The long
hanging branches are lifted like a green
curtain by the hunter and the fruit Is found
in great punches. After a frost part OF
the fruit will be on the ground and this
is vastly superior TO that on the BUSH

We have pointed out the necessity OF

ties a lien only upon the plant itself and
not upon the taxpayers. The principle
which requires this is so plain and proper
that il cannot be successfully antagonized.
American cities are being urged into mu-
nicpal ownership becau se cities in the
British isles have very generally en-
barked in 1t. calling IL there municipal

and Scotland which have gone into bust
ness have raised the capital for CONNER
cial investment by general taxation. the
bonds and stocks issued being a lien upon
the city and not upon the plants. The ef-
feet has been an enormous increase in mu-
nicipal debts. The annual reports OF the
local government board show that the debts
OF the cities have increased between 1891
and 4.v2 by 291 per cent The annual aver

could do to help him was done. b11t

Mr.. Crane had lived in this com
