two points.
Wall street is still apprehensive, but
skeptical over the crop damage stories.
For this reason the stock market lacks
influential support. Each day produces
declines in the entire roster, but upon
the whole these declines are not so
pronounced as to cause any particular
disturbance in the general situation,
yet 1t emphasizes the fact that crop
conditions play a greater part in the

supposed. A month ago stock exchange

WITH THE EDITORS
The Word "Hoosier. /"

Mr. Jacob p. Dunn has turned his
historical searchlight on the question
of the origin of the word "Hoosier."
and, in an interesting paper read be-
fore the Indiana Historical society (and
just published by the society, thor
oughly exhausts the theme. Nearly all
of the theories that have been advanc-
ed on the subject. such as the Who's
here?", the "Hussar," etc, have been
fantastic and unsupported by sub
stantial evidence or reason. Mr.. Dunn
very properly attaches no credence to
any of them. After careful investiga-
ton and collection of early authorities
he concludes that the word was first
put in print by John Finley in his
poem, The Hoosiers Nest" published
Jan. 1, 1893. This is probably true,
though it may have been used with
local application in some southern
papers before that. The evidence
shows beyond doubt that the word is
of old English origin and was in COM
mon use in the south TO indicate a
rough. uncouth countryman from any
locality before 1t was applied distinct
lively TO Indiana or its citizens. II
probably was applied derisively to In
and made it classic. The fact that II

high time that its origin and definition
should be as generally known. Before
that section Of the public lands was
regularly surveyed, many families 10
Gated and were called squatters. The
surveyors on finding one OF these
would ask. Who's hereT and place
the name on their map. The question
became so familiar that on the first
view of the smoke Of a cabin the ex-
clamation of another Who's hereT be-
came equally so until it eventuated in
the general term OF Hoosier.'"
The theory here presented as TO the
origin of the word Hoosier is fanci-
full and altogether improbable, but the
publication OF the article in Niles
Register published at Baltimore) Of
Dec. Is. 1898. copied from a Pittsburg
paper Of previous date. shows that the
word was already then in pretty gen
eral use. In fact, the article says, the
word lis in frequent use" and that
citizens OF Indiana have been called
Hoosiers for some time past, at home
and abroad"
This rather indicates that the word
was specially attached TO Indiana and
her people before Finney used IL. But
the origin and etymology OF the word
remain as much q mystery as ever. ex-
cept that il was in common use from
an early day IL some parts OF the
south to signify a rough or uncouth
person. No matter where II original
ed or what it may have meant once.
