the end of October. 1888, he received a
letter from one Charles F. Murchi-
son, who represented himstlf as a
naturalized citizen of English birth
and asked advice as to the party for
which he should vote.
The British minister replied to this
letter and advised his correspondent
to vote for Grover Cleveland and the
democratic party as favorable to Eng
land. This letter of Murchison's was
generally conceded to be trap set to
embarrass the British minister, whose
recall was at once requested
The recall not being promptly COM

passports. The incident happening
during presidential canvass. created

THE BATTLE OF THE YALU.
One of the Queer Incidents of This
Great Naval Conflict.

One of the Queer Incidents of This
Great Naval Conflict.
This strange incident Of great ma.
val battle was told by Commissioner
McGiffin Of one of the Chinese war.
the Chinese and Japanese fleets in
1894: About this time the Chin Yuen
boldly if somewhat foolhardily bore
down on the Japanese squadron's line.
Just what happened no one seems to
know, but apparently she was struck
below the water line by a heavy shell,
either a ten inch or a thirteen inch.
Be that as it may. she took a heavy
list, and, thus fatally injured, her com.
ageous albeit a most obstinate officer,
resolved at least to avenge himself and
charged one of the largest Of the en-.
emys ships, intending to ram.
"a hurricane of projectiles from both
heavy and machine guns swept down
upon his ship. The list became more
pronounced, and just before getting
home to his intended victim his ship
rolled over and then plunged bow first

Guiding her chief engineer, Mr.. Purvis,
shut up in the engine room. Seven Of
her crew chung to one Of the circular
life buoys kept on the bridge and were
drifted by the tide toward the coast,
where they were rescued by junk.
"Stories told by these men vary so
much as to be unreIiab BILE, but all agree
on one incident: Captain Tang had a
large dog of most vicious temper, I'M
ruly at times even with his master.
After the ship sank Captain Tang.
who could not swim. managed to get
an oar or some small piece of wood.
This would have been enough to sup
port him had not his dog swum to him
and, climbing up on him, forced him
to release his grasp. Thus he miser-
ably drowned, and the brute shared
his fate. perhaps the only case on rec
ord Of n man being drowned by his

w. agent sold 90 tickets for Corners
vile Thursday morning. AS the pas
senger train had but on extra coach
attached and Cambridge City furnish
ed between three and four hundred
passengers the poor Miltonites had to
hang on to the platforms and steps.
Several more went down on the after
noon train, leaving Milton very much
deserted. But those that had to stay
at home could get out and see the bal
loon go up. The ascension at least
was visible from the south part of
Milton Wednesday evening.

LOCAL SPEAKERS
TO HOLD CROWDS
Until Big Men of Republican
Party Get in Form for
Campaign.
THE INTEREST is HEALTHY.
JUDGING FROM DEMANDS FOR
TAFT, SHERMAN, ROOSEVELT
AND OTHER PROMINENT MEN
WHO WILL ENTER RACE.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Most of the speak
ers of national prominence who will
take the stump for Taft and Sherman
will not be available until about Oc-
in the doubtful states will be waged by
local speakers. Senators Beveridge
and Borah and Leslie NJ. Shaw, former
secretary of the treasury, and perhaps
Secretary Garfield, of the department
of the inerior, will be ready by Sep
TENDER 10.
Vice President Fairbanks and Speak
err Cannon will speak outside of their
own states after October l, and Sena-
tor Foraker, Senator Lafollette. Sena-
tor Knox and Governor Hughes will
start out the same week. A big vol
unteer speaking force from congress
will be heard the last month of the
campaign.
Chairman Hitchcock said that nego-
tiations are proceeding to secure the
best republican speakers in the coun-
try, and that many of these will be
paid for their services.
The Speakers Bureau has been be-
sieged by demands from every doubt
full state that Mr.. Taft, President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Sherman and prominent
senators be sent into the campaign at
once. This is taken as healthy indi-
cation of political interest.
There has been no change In Mr.
Taft's determination to remain in Gin
cinnati during the campaign and ad
dress such delegations as call on him
at his home. 1t is possible, however
that late in the campaign. perhaps the
last two weeks in October, he may
make a number of short speaking
trips in the Middle West states.

Shoes In Oiden DAYS.

Early Britons wore shoes Of raw
cowhide, with the hairy surface out
ward. The Anglo-Saxons showed an
advance, for they We're black and laced
by leather thong. Then came what
might almost be termed the bag shoe
of the Merovingian period, tied round
the ankle, a similar easy sort of cover
ing obtaining in Germany. and so by
gradual stages from the medieval
shoes to the poulaine shoes, a queer
early German specimen, the band
round the ankle being Of engraved
brass. The Irish shoe Of early date is
worthy Of note, as for many years the
Irish went not only barefooted, but
barelegged, while their bodies were
most gorgeously arrayed. - London

Had More Time Than Money
And It Was Old Fashioned

Rushville, Ind, Sept. At is per-
fectly natural for men to remain old
fashioned and have what some people
claim to be old fogy ideas, but bless
them, they are to be commended for
many of the things they hold fast to
with a reverence that is true as steel.
However, sometimes they stay with an
old tangled idea to their own detri-
ment. And such was the case of Wal
ter Heating, an old and respected far
mer of Posey township. He had rails
ed a good crop of oats this season and
when it came to the threshing period
he insisted on doing it the old fash
toned way. Despite the entreaties of
