BEGINS LIFE OVER AGAIN!

.lobn Campbell's life story reads like
a romance but has the interest <>f beinu
a romance but has the additional inter
est of being true.He was born in Mont
gomery county, Indiana. He dis
appeared in IBIW shortly after lie
was released from the Michigan City
prison, where lie hful served 25 years
for killing his friend while under the
Influence of drink, was two weeks ago
heiird from.
He is at Pine BlulT, Ark., and during
the few years of his freedom he has by
industry and enterprise managed to ac
cumulate property worth more than
•25,000.
Campbell was born and reared near
Alamo, and while a boy began business
for himself, evincing aptitude fur man
agement aud thrift that was the won
der of the community in which he lived.
In 1873 Campbell was still quite a
young man, but was the owner of three
line farms, a large sawmill doing a
profitable business, and about forty
head of blooded horses. He had but
one fault—while intoxicated he was
quarrelsome and dangerous. In the
fall of 1873 he appeared in the streets of
A'amo almost insane from drink. While
in this condition he was approached by
his lifelong friend, Tom Little, who at
tempted to quiet him. Campbell at
once became enraged, and drawing a
knife, plunged it into Little's heart.
He was arrested and taken to Craw
fordsville. His trial was one of the
most memorable in the criminal annals
of Montgomery Co. Campl>ell employed
as his attorneys Daniel Voorhees, Con
gressman White and P. S. Kennedy.
The relatives of Little, prominent
and substantial people, employed Benj-
Harrison to assist R. B. I. Pierce,
listened to her prayers and her brother
was released. He had been in prison
so long that for some time after he
gained his freedom it seemed that his
mind was affected,' but after living for
several months in the country he
brightened materially and his old
friends saw signs of the strong, shrewd
man who had left them a quarter of a
century before for a prison cell. Dur
ing Campbell's imprisonment his prop
erty had been dissipated, bo lie was
practically penniless when released.
He, however, soon managed to ac
quire a team and wagon and with these
suddenly disappeared. It developed
that he started for the Southwest trad
ing horses as he went. He was remark
ably suceesful and by the time he
reached St. Louis he was several hun
dred dollars ahead. There he accident
ally learned of a sawmill for rent at
Pine Bluff, and he obtained a lease of
the mill. A citizen of Crawfordsville
who recently chanced to he in Pine
Bluff saw Campbell there, and says he
is one of the leading citizens of the
town. He is now a radical temperance
reformer.
Mi in ii- i - Her l»«'»<eiidain» by the Hun
dred «
The most remarkable record for nu
merous descendants of any person in
the United States Is that held by Mrs.
Jacob Dearinger, who resides in Tny
lorsville, Illinois. Although in her
eighty-seventh year she is enjoying
good health and bids fair of becoming
a nonogenarian, if not a centenarian.
She via.-) born in Jessamine county,
Keniuckey, January 18, 1818. She was
married to Jacob Dearinger September
1,1830. Sixteen children were born to
the couple, time being born after 1858,
when the husband became hopelessly
blind. He lived until May 30, 1683. In
addition to looking after her numerous
children, Mrs. Dearinger wascompelled
to lead her blind husband about.
To the sixteen children were born
seventy-sevan children, and the fourth j
generation numbered 171. The fifth j
generation numbers seven, making a |
a grand total of 271 descendants now
living.
The miden name of Mrs. Dearinger
was Elizabeth Padgett. Although her
children are comfortably situated in re
gards to this world's goods, the old
lady prefers to live quietly at her home
in Taylorvllle.
She finds great solace in her old age
in her pipe, and the children do not be
grudge her this pleasure despite its od
dity. '

"The Tip That Failed," aWull Street
drama, with John D. Rookefeller, Jr.,
mentioned In the cast, and a member of
his Bible class as a "iteerer" to the
(Tame,was rabearted in Justice Kellog's
bruncli <>f the supreme court one day
last week.
George Doutney sued Sidney C. Love
and Frederick Swift, brokers, for $30,
--000, which he says he lost through their
linn in ipectulating in Wabash stock.
The brokers retaliated through a coun
ter suit for $1.3J5 which they claimed
w;isthe ainouut of margins over the
$30,000 which Doutnuy had failed to
pay.
The story went on record that J. P.
Rawley is a fi itnd of John D. Rockefel
ler, Jr., and a member of his Bible
class. Witness Love continued:
"Kawlcy had lunch with Mr. Rocke
feller one day and informed Doutney
later that Mr. Rockefeller had intima
ted to him that there was 'some
thing doing" in Wabash: the the slock
was bound to gn up very soon. On this
tip Doutney was advised to get aboard
and he came to us. He put upsU,ooo in
cash and about $21,000 in collateral.
Wabash went down instead of up.''
The jury thought over the matter for
an hour and then decided that Doutney
should have lost what he did in back
ing Bible class tips. Not only that, but
they ordered Doutney to pay defendants
the 11,366 with accrued Interest.
A Kullroiul in ()■<■ Holy Land
A railroad is now being built In the
Holy Land, to run through the region
which is most familiar lo all students ol
the Bible.
The time table of this far-away roail
will bear the names of old places that
are almost household names to a great
er part of the peoples of the world.
The new road is to start at the little
seaport of Haifa, on the Bay of Acre,
almost at the foot of Mount Carinel.
It is to run diagonally through Gali
lee. Some of the stations will be the
biblical places of Capernaum. Cana,
Mount Tabor, Magdalaand Tiberias.
Its eastern terminal will boon Lake
Gennosaret.
It is planned to build great ware
houses right under the shadow of Mt.
Carmel to store the goods that are to be
carried by the new road into and out of
the land of Galilee,
Tho Lake of Gennesare! will be fur
rowed by steamships as goon as Ihe road
is flnUaed, and Capernaum which is
little more than a heap of ruins today,
known by the local name of Tel Hum.
is to bo rebuilt and made into a new
.•fly.
The town of Naznreth ts to be the
big center of the commerce of the new
road.
The incentive that actuates the pro
jectors is that a railroad through this
part of Galilee will open tho way into
the rich and immecse territory on the
eastern shores of the river Jordan
where there lies a land that lias hardly
been touched by the commerce of the
last century.
