One county in Kentucky, at least, is on its «ood behavior. This announcement is made by tho local paper: "There hasn't been a killing in Grant county since April,"1887. Wo may pull through I ho year without another." There is yet hope for "old Kaintuck."
There is much complaint heard of tho outrageously high prices of coal, as a result of coal combinations. With a few "gushers" where such pools are it) operation, a quietus would bo put upon (he combines and there would bo a sudden silencing of the complaints.
Some one has expressod tho wish that some of the loud-mouthed anarchists of the Yawp Most kind would try letting loose their tongues in a southern city. If, now, they only had black blood in their veins it might not prove healthy in Mississippi or Louisiana. Still it would bo interesting to see how the fireeaters would deal with them.
Novel and sensational elopements are becoming common. A handsome school teacher of Michigan in these days ran away with ami was married to a negro as black as the. aco of spades, and now David Ijittlejohn, a full-blood Tust.irora Indian has eloped with a good-looking blonde, a daughter of a preacher, of Krie county. N. V. Kaee distinctions are fast, vanishing.
In Indianapolis the liquor laws are rigidly enforced. Owing to this fact a number of drinking establishments have been opened just outside the city limits and tho police authorities have not held jurisdiction over such places. Mayor Denny, however, proposes to bring such "road-houses" under tho law. Ho is now preparing an ordinance imposing a citytax upon every saloon within two miles of tho eorporate'limits of tho city. The Supreme court somo time since decided that the authority of city extends two miles beyound the established conlinoe. and under this decision the mayor hopes to make all road houses contribute to the city's finances.
(hi Saturday night the doors of tho county jail wore not opened to receive single prisoner. This is somewhat remarkable record and the sheriff does not recall another such instance since he has been tilling his present position or during his term as deputy under his predecessor. The circumstance is considered the more remarkable since all the arrests made ly the police for misdemeanors ami {"petty violations of the law are carted to the county jail and augment the sheriff's bill which is presented to the county commissioners at the end of each month. Since the suppression of gambling and the closing of the allnight saloons there has been a decided decrease in the number of arrests for drunkenness and other offenses attributable directly or indirectly to intoxication. The police record verities this assertion. Tt is iiu easy task to give tangible evidence upon tho good results of the enforcement of the law.
The Stat* house commissioners have decided to bore for gas on tho grounds surrounding the building. They took into consideration the fact that it willroquire fully 610.000 a year to heat the capital. ami very naturally came to the conclusion that the cost of sinking a well would be neither a needless nor lavish expenditure if the tluid is not found, and in the event of tho well being successful the saving would be no small item. The natural gas fever is waning in this city. Two efforts have been made to .reach the article, but neither has been successful. There have been a number of new wells talked of and locations suggested, but the necessary subscriptions have not been made to penetrate the earth in search of the gas. It
would seetn that two failures should not prove that we are not situated in gas territory. It is certainly worth another trial. With natural gas, Terre Haute would be about "the greatest town on earth."
Parke county will find that the cost for the prosecution of Charley Roberts, the "Parke county desperado," will be the neat sum of 83,000 or more, by the time the third trial is concluded. The press of Rockville have complained of the expense which has already attached itself. It has been stated that enough money has been spent in convicting Roberts to build a gravel road. Roberts' attorney says the cost of another gravel road will be expended in the case unless his client is acquitted on his third trial. There has been so much horse-play in the case that it is not surprising that Parke county is exasperated, and the prospect is a rather gloomy one.

Tiny closo bonnets for wee babies are made of wool, velvet and astrakhan. Ribbed wool stockings are now worn during the winter by tho children of sensible mothers.
Girls' winter drcssoa show some beautiful colors, such as rich browns, copper colors and Oobelin blues.
Many winter coats now being made are of red, ornamented with pretty tufts of ribbons in different shades of red.
Heavy petticoats pressing upon tho hips are ruinous to growing girls, as are tight shoes to children of both sexes.
Wool shoes are rapidly taking tho place of leather ones, and bid fair to remain a fixture in the annals of' comfort able childish appareling.
Jaunty little suits for boys, of corduroy and wide Wales aro made in Norfolk jacket style and aro beautiful and serviceable for dress or for daily school service. 4^
Little aprons with broad sash ends and full shoulder bows aro shown. These bows belong to tho garment and must be froshly tiod each time it is put on: therefore they do not make a stiff, set appearance.
The ploated skirts with its accompanying sailor blouse holds its own. A full wool sash, with ends gathered and ornamented with a wool ball or tassel, completes this useful and comfortable little costume.
School dresses are of serge, homespun, cashmere, camel's hair, chevoits, plaids, checks and all kinds of serviceablo wools, usually relieved by collar andcutfsof bright velvet. These dresses are plainly made with full, beltod waist gathered to a yoke, and sometime trimmed with Hercules braid.
Care should bo taken to avoid compressing the waist or weighting the spine of a growing child and this is avoided by a sensible adjustment of the undergarments. They should be buttoned on to tho waist and the most sensible and comfortable bodice for children in the market is JFoy, Harmon A Chadwick's Double V, which throws tho burden of the clothing on tho shoulders instead of upon the delicate, undeveloped spine. 15y tho way: For little children with weak ankles, Best A: Co. show at their Lilliputian Bazaar in Twenty-third street, New York, ankle supporters which will tit any shoe whether of button or lace stylo, and greatly assist children learning to walk, being a complete stay for trembling little limbs. Children living in Maine and California are satisfactorily served through tho mail order department as though they lived in town.

When Senator Hearst came up to the desk yesterday to be sworn he had his hands in his pockets. "Ho'll never bo a thoroughbred statesman," remarked Colonel Mussey in the press gallery. "Why uot'r" asked a Californian, with some indignation at the apparent reflection. "Because he's got his hands in his own pockets instead of other people's." remarked the colonel, and went on making notes. [Washington Critic.

EDNA, THE SAWDUST SHARP.
A Handsome Young' "Woman's Klalmrale Swindling. For over six years, says the New York Star, a tall, handsome woman, about '25 years of age, has been purchasing her kitchen supplies from David Hayes, a butter merchant in Catharine market. Regularly ovary week she left her order, always paying for the things she bought in cash. She was known to Mr. Hayes as Mrs. Edna Perrin, and lived in Madison street and dressed well.
Early last May, just after she moved to No. 231 east Seventeenth street, Mrs. Perrin came down to Mr. Hayes' stand and said to him: "Would you oblige me by receiving a few letters addressed to W. J. Jones for me. It is a little private matter in which I am interested, and I don't want my husband to know anything about it."
Mr. Hayes thought that perhaps it was a little innocent flirtation, and not wishing to spoil his customer's fun- he cheerfully assented. During the next week the postman handed him four letters for W. J. Jones, and he put them away in his safe. A few days later Mrs. Perrin called antl got her letters. This continued for over a month, and gradually the number of weekly letters increased to eight and sometimes a dozen.
In August Mrs. Perrin got no less than thirty-five letters. All of them were ad dressed to W. J. Jones, and came from towns outside of the city, tho majority bearing the postmarks of small southern cities. This aroused tho butter merchant's suspicions, but Mrs. Perrin was so refined and pleasant in her manner that he hadn't the heart to suspect her of being capable of doing anything that was wrong.
Finally Mr. Hayes could not help thinking that it was more lhan passing strange that Mrs. Perrin should receive so many letters addressed to another person, ifhd he spoke to Captain Brooks, of tho Madison street station, about it.
Tho captain detailed Detective Leary on the case, and several times ho shadowed Mrs. Perrin, but saw nothing suspicious in her actions. She went directly to her home from the market, and remained in her apartments the whole day, seldom coining out again. If she did so it was only to take a walk with her beautiful little boy baby, who was just learning how to walk. Acting under tho captain's advice, Mr. Hayes opened ono of the letters about a month ago. instead of being tin innocent communication from a lady or gentleman acquaintance. it turned out to be a neatly-printed circular, such as is used by tho confidence swindlers to catch tho cupidity of their victims from the country. It sot forth that a fabulous fortune awaited anybody who was willing to enter into confidential relations with the sender, who had the means of securing treasury notes of nil denominations in such perfect imitations of the genuine article that even the government officials couldn't tell tho difference.
Tho prices, providing tho per,son to whom the circular was addressed proved thoroughly reliable and discrcet, were 8400 for 6o,000 worth of the spurious notes, 6050 for 67,000, 8S7o for 814.000, 81,000 for 8*22,000, and 81,'250 for 8.'0,000.
This satisfied Mr. Hayes that his customer was nothing else than a shrewd swindler, and he determined to teil her so tho next time ho saw her, but the detective induced him to continue receiving the mail until the proper evidence upon which to warrant tho woman's arrest could be obtained. The first impression was that Mrs. Perrin was only tho slave of her husband or a band of confidence operators, but he soon discovered his mistake. For over a month ho watched the house in the hope of meeting Mr. Perrin. but that mythical person never appeared. The landlord of the house said Mrs. Perrin had resided there for seven months, and only once did he see Mr. Perrin, who engaged the rooms.
Then Leary thought it was time to arrest Mrs. Perrin, and he waited for a good chance to make sure of his game. It came on Wednesday afternoon in the shape of a tolegram. which reached Mr. Hayes' stand about 4 o'clock. It was unsigned, and simply said: You may expect me: am on my way to the city."
The tolegram was carefully sealed again, and at o'clock Mrs. Perrin called to claim it. She had lior baby with her. Detective Leary was also there, and as Mr. Hayes handed her the dispatch ho stepped up and said: "You are my prisoner." Mrs. Perrin wasn't surprised a bit. She simply picked up her prattling boy, and said, perfectly calm and undisturbed: "Very well, sir: 1 shall offer no objections."
At tho station house she was ordered to open the telegram, and after reading it Captain Brooks took possession of it. The sergeant wrote out the formal complaint. and after it was read to her Mrs. Perrin signed it "Edna Jones." She refused to make a statement and quietly submitted to be locked up. Her only solicitude seemed to be for her child, and she cried when she saw that she would have to take the little innocent into a coll.
In her rooms, which were subsequently searched, a sachel containing a complete sawdust swindler's outfit was found and also letters signed by John P. Boyle, Hamilton, N. C.. and J. Bumpass. Richland Station, Tenn.
Besides these, bundle of clippings from an alleged newspaper were found, saying that the counterfeit notes were printed from steel plates stolen from tho treasury vaults, and that the I'nited States authorities when called upon to pronounce their being counterfeit refused to do so because, so far as they could judge, the notes were genuine, except for the absence of a few silk fibers in the paper.
Mrs. Perrin is the first female sawdust swindler ever arrested, although many of the sharpers employ women to do tho outside business. The detectives say she probably worked for a man, but they haven't the slightest idea who ho is.
Justice Patterson committed the woman to the Essex Market prison for further examination. Mrs. Perrin declined to-talk to reporters. Matron Stack says she io a docile prisoner, and seems to feel the shame of her arrest very keenly.
We do not intend to endorse any except articles of genuine merit, but we take pleasure in referring to the "Garland Stoves and Ronges." whose superiority is too well established to be called in question. They are believed to be unequailed by any in the world.

lias yet been iliscovcreil but, as at least four-fifths of liumnn diseases have their source in Impure Blood, a medicine which restores that fluid from a depraved to a healthy coudition comes as near being a universal cure as any that can be produced.

Boils and Carbuncles,
which defy ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comparatively brief trial.
Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville, Va., writes that for years lie was afflicted with boils which caused him much suffering. These were succeeded by carbuncles, of which he had several at one time. lie then began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking three bottles, the carbuncles disappeared, and for six years lie has not had even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is the fruitful cause of innumerable complaints, Consumption being only one of many equally latal. Eruptions, ulcers, sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak and wasted muscles, a capricious appetite, and tho like, are pretty sure indications of a scrofulous taint in tho system. Many otherwise beautiful faces are disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which ariao from impure blood, showing the need of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial, avoiding all powders, ointments, and washes, and especially cheap and worthless compounds, which not only I fail to effect a cure, I :t more frequently [aggravate and confirm the diseases they are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
