MAPLE SYRUP IN PLENTY
This Promises to Be Banner
Season for County.
OPEN SPRING PROMISED

This season promises TO be a ban
ner one in Wayne county for maple
syrup. Since time immomorial it has
been generally conceded that long
cold snap combined with a steady
thaw was absolutely essential for a
good maple syrup season This sea
son this theory has been upset There
has been plenty of thaw but no cold
snap, but Notwithstanding this fact
the maple trees are doing land-of
flee business.
John Macy, a well known farmer,
reported yesterday that on Friday he
had secured about 80 gallons of sap
from his maple trees. Farmers living
in the same vicinity as Mr.. Macy
report as good success as Mr.. Macy
has had.
Farmers all over the country are
also predicting an unusual wheat crop
this year if the present favorable con-
ditions continue. Commissioner Clark
stated yesterday that his wheat had
begun to turn green despite the early
season. Indications are that there
will be an exceptional open spring and
if such is the case the farmers of
Wayne county will double their al
ready fat bank accounts.

MICAJAH CLEANLINESS DEAD
Wealthy Alexandria RecIuse Who
Lived in Fear of Rob-
berry.

Alexandria, Ind, March 16.-Mica-
jah Chamness, eighty-five years old
an aged recluse of this place, is dead
at his home here. He leaves five
children in this city, all well-to-do
Although possessed of much wealth.
Mr.. Chamness refused to live any
where save in little hut. which he
had entirely surrounded with a rail
fence, ten feet high, owing to his
hallucination that everybody was try
ing to get his money. AS an addition
al precaution, he was guarded by
two great ST. Bernard dogs. which al
SO accompanied him in his hunting
trips, of which sport he was very
fond. His hut was lined with coon,
'possum and fox hides, while his bed
consisted of a large buffalo robe. His
wife died more than twenty-five years
ago, and since then Mr.. Chamness
has refused to make his home with
his children, seemingly not contented
with any life save that of recluse.

scribers daily with a column Of short
pertinent comments on their town, their
habits, and themselves. The depart
Inent on account or its intimate personal
flavor was the most popular thing n
the paper.
The editor, as he saw ii, growing IN IA

and wider latitude IN his remarks. until
the town passed much OF its time con
5ecturing what he'd das't 10 say next"
On hot day, when the simOOm WINS
tied gaily up the streets Of the town. de-
posting everywhere it's burden OF sand.
the editor brought forth this gem Of
thought:
"An the windows along Main street

The next morning he was waited on
BY platoon Of Indignant citizens who
confronted him with the paragraph in
