was dangerous business. Hastily gathering
up the slaves and their few belongings, and
hitching first class yoke of oxen to a good
wagon, they took up their line of march for
Kansas, but not without securing all the white
men about the several houses from which the
slaves were taken, and them they brought far
enough on the way to make it safe to turn them
loose to find their own way back, and giving
them a wise caution not to attempt to follow.
Brown and the cavalcade took the route for
Mound City. The white men at the houses
showed fight, but the Negro men, of which
there were three, showed fight, and had all the
guns save shotgun. A German, or Pennsyl-
vania Dutchman got hold of the shotgun and
attempted to sEoot. Kagi took the gun from
him and set it down in coruer, and told him
if he took the gun in his hands, he would kill
him. The German did not believe the threat
Kagi made. He got hold of the gun again,
and Kagi shot him, killing him before he could
use the gum The mans name was Cruise
Leaving Mound City, they were brought up
to Rev. S. l.. Adar's, about mile west of
Osawatome. There they were put down in
the Marias Des Cygnes bottom, in corn-shOcks.

Years They were kept there for a couple o.

days. it was too cold for the women and chill
dren, especially the children. From there, at
night, they were brought up to the Partridge
cabins, about two miles south vest of Lane.
The cabins were near the road--the one lead
ing from Lane to Greeley Under one of the
cabins there was cellar, and the refugees were
placed there. But children will cry, and so did
the little darkies. Seeing they were not in
safe place, they were removed at night to an
empty cabin about a mile east Of Greeley. The
following day, the discovery was made that the
cabin was close to the trail from Middle creek
(where was large settlement of Kentuckians)
to Greeley. The politics of the Kentucky set
tlement was not then known Then, the first
night following, they were taken over into
Franklin county and put into the cabin men,
toned above standing out on the open prairie
about one aud half miles east of Berea Here
they were kept for one month-were kept here
so long for the reason that one of the women
could not safely travel any further. A few
days after being placed there, boy was born.
He was given the name of John Brown. The
following morning, the father went up to my
father-n-law's house. He appeared lost in
thought My mother. in-law, knowing the con-
dition, questioned him pretty closely about his

family and he finally told her that boy had
been born the night before, and they had not a
dud to put on it. In the hurry of gathering up
their little belongings, they failed to get the
clothes for the expected stranger. Then my
'nother.in-law came to my wife and told her of
the condition of the family My wife went to
our baby's wardrobe, picked out suit and sent
it up to the unfortunate little darky, and he
was given start in life with second. hand
suit.
The cabin was the cheapest kind of pre-
emption cabin, with hole cut for window,
another for door and one foi fire, and all the
chinks open. We gave them tools and built a

wholly ignorant of the presence of $I2, 900

born, there were ust dozen of them-three
men, three women and six children.
Strangers rode up and down Big Potawato-

of days, but at last, they all disappeared.

ANNALS OF
ANDERSON co.
SOME INTERESTING HISTORY BY ONE OF
THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD MEN,
Who v as Well Acquainted With John Brown.
By W. II. Ambrose, OF Greeley.

Local history is the gathering of the Incl
dents in individual lives, and the time to pre-
serve that history is during the lives of the
participants in the events. The history of
Anderson county, and all other counties, can
be preserved in no other way.
DR.. Delos Walker, in conversation with the
writer, once remarked: "When you fellows
came to Kansas, you had pretty rough time;
but when we came, we had real KID glove
time-the outposts had then been established. !"
Neighbors could be away off, ten or hiteen
miles, and were visited. Distance did not pre-
vent social intercourse. Our cabins were Tar
apart, and were modest in the extreme they
were not inviting from an exterior point of view,
but inside there was cheer that has not It's
equal to-day. Religiousy, we cared but little
tor our neighbours creed, but politically, we did.
An agreement in politics in that day made
warm friends and so, when IT touched the
question of human slavery, the anti-slavery
friends were unit.
At that far-away day, right through this sec
tion of Anderson county ran well manned line
of the Underground Railroad, with Odd John
Brown as chief superintendent. About one
and half miles east of Berea, on the open
prairie, stood an empty pre- emption cabin, built
by Green Mountain boy named Charles Sew
e1ns, and that cabin played an important part in
the events which will Try to record.
A few miles east CT the Trading Post, over
in Missouri, an old slave holder died, and his
estate had to be settled. Among his belong
iugs were some slaves. One of them, "]n,"
had no notion that his wife and children should
be sold and separated from him and from each
other. He came over into Kansas at night, and
hunted up John Brown, and to him rlhe1
his surmise of the shadow his pathway.
Brown sent him away with the che erful assur-
auce that, on a certain night, he would call for
him and his fanily-to be ready, and he would
take them to lano of genuine freedom-one
over which the shadow human slavery did not
hang.
On the appointed night, Brown and his eff
c;ent lieutenants were on hand. "The king:
business requires haste" and so did this Tor i

Rev. Frank Dixon, brother of Rev. Thos.
Dixon, who recently delivered his lecture on
"The Curse of Socialism," at Ottawa, has
turned down the offer of the Ottawa Chautau-
qua Assembly board for debate on the subject
of Socialism, Eugene V. Debs to argue in de-
fense of that belief. In other words, Mr.. Dixon
is afraid to tackle Debs.

A CORNER IN

By KEITH GORDON

What do you suppose Adam and
Eve talked about?' inquired the girl
In the Hongkong chair, with a yawn.

tons a triie more luxuriously in the
barbaric splendor of the pillows and
clasped her large, shapely hands above
the shadowy darkness of her head.

comic promptness. There wasn't any,
thing else for them to talk about. so

Miss Chesterton's glance slowly de-
tached itself from the enchanting pic
ture of turquoise water and topaz is

the curtain of vines that screened the
veranda and rested coolly upon him.
"There was the weather." she argued
sweetly, land the birds and flowers"
"You forget that Adam was a man."
observed her companion, with just a
perceptible stress upon the last word.
A silence followed, in which the ap-
palling beauty of a California August
held them spellbound. Miss Chester
ton drew a sharp breath; then she re-
sumed the conversation once more.
"All men DON'T" was her somewhat
incoherent remark.
Dinsmore had the air of a man sud-
denly recalled to consciousness from a
state of suspended animation.
Don't what?"
She flushed and looked injured. AL

He gave an amused laugh. "You
mustn't lay it up against me-" was his
contrite plea. you see, l feel like a
fly caught In the amber; like-like-
by Jove, it's too beautiful"
She nodded understandingly, and
again a silence fell, unbroken save by a
wistful bird note.

steadily along the garden path and up

A little scream broke the stiffness.
Coming back from a dreamy, sensuous

rafters Of the porch, Miss Chesterton's
startled glance fell upon the long, fat,

GROWTH AND PROGRESS
OF INSTITUTIONS SHOWN
Reports Received by State Board
Indicate Increase in Number
of Inmates.

Reports made to the Board OF State
Charities by the thirteen state charitable
and correctional institutions have been
compiled. and the figures will be published
in the next number of the Indiana Bulletin
of Charities and Correction.
On the last day of the quarter there were
present in those institutions s.21O inmates,
34i more than were present on the same
day of the preceding year. The daily aver
age attendance for the quarter was 9,l33 26
as compared with s.773.S3 for the same per-
iod in 1903. The increased number of in
mates has necessitated the employment of
.470 persons, an increase of -thirty-two over
the number employed last year.
The greatest increases in population are
found in the four hospitals for the insane,
the Soldiers Home and the School for
Feeble-Minded Youth. The Reformatory at
Jacksonville and the schools for both BOYS
and girls also show an increase. while the
other penal institutions (The State Prison
at Michigan City and the Woman's Prison
at Indianapolis) have a less number of in
mates than year ago.
The number of inmates Of each of the
thirteen institutions Is as follows: Central
Hospital for Insane, lisa; Northern Hos
pitai for Insane, s42; Eastern Hospital for
Insane, 679: Southern Hospital for Insane,
625: Soldiers Home. 664; Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Home. 565: Institution for
Deaf 3l7; Institution for Blind. 125; School
for Feeble Minded Youth $50: State Prison.
$50: Reformatory 969; Industrial School for
Girls and Woman's Prison, 263; Indiana
Boys School. $50.

BROWN AGAIN INJECTS
POLITICS into BOARD
Park System Endangered by Ac-
ton of President, Who Takes
Orders from Reach.
IS BOSS'S BIDDING
DOES
Wants All Democrats Appointed
in Violation of Long Es-
tabliShed Rule.

Yielding to the repeated opportunities OF
]. l.. Reach, erstwhile Democratic dictator
in Indianapolis. and to his representations
that certain of the Democratic faithful
must "be taken care Of" ii is expected that
President Hiram Brown. of the Board of
Park Commissioners, will attempt, at this
mornings meeting of his board, to COM
pletely change the settled policy of the
Park Board by appointing as custodians OF
the smaller parks of the city a number of
Democrats without any reference whatever
to their fitness for the position TO their
experience in park work.
President Brown gave an intimation of
his intended action at the meeting of the
board two weeks ago, when he turned
down. the list of custodians recommended
by Park Superintendent j. Clyde Power, a
thing never before done in the history of
the Park Board. The Journal was informed
on good authority yesterday that Mr..
Brown will present his own list of custodi-
ans at this mornings meeting, every one
of them Democrat and but one or two
of whom have ever had any experience in
park work. To make Mr.. Browns APP
pointments it will be necessary for him to
secure the vote of Mr.. Coffin. one of the
Republican members of the board, and
this, it is believed. he cannot get on that
kind of a proposition.
The settled policy of the Park Board is
we'll stated in a resolution adopted at
meeting of that body held April 10, 1901, as
follows:
Resolved, That no appointments shall
be made to the grades of skilled labor, in
foreman, Waterman or custodian, except
from the ranks of employees in the next
lower grade, where their services have
been satisfactory to the board and the
superintendent This order shall be in force
on and after May l, 1901"
Several efforts have been made by Presi-
dent Brown TO inject politics into the affairs
OF the Park Board, but this is the most
decided step in that direction which he has
yet attempted.

Ten acres of land southwest of the City
Hospital and east of Fall creek are still
under water. On this ground about twenty
five houses are situated all of which are
two stories in height. The water which is
on the ground here has no place to go as
the ground is much lower than the creek
and there is no drainage. To a person
standing on the east bank of Fall creek
