Soldlsrs' Widows and Orphans the Tic tims of fewsloa Sharpers. Delaware (Ohio) special: One of the worst frauds ever perpetrated on widows and orphans has been unearthed in this city. When the call was made for 200,000 volunteers in ISS3, Delaware's quota was to receive a bounty of $100. As that amount of cash could not be had at the time, $25 was given in cash, and scrip was issued for the remaining 875. In time it became impossible to pay even $25 in cash. and interest-bearing scrip was issued for the full $100. This 75 scrip, with accumulated interest, now amounts to $201, while the $100 scrip amounts to $274. Most of this scrip still remains in the hands of the o.igisal holders, or their widows and orphans. Two pension attorneys, teaming the facts, schemed to obtain possession of the monev in the treasury. Obtaining a list of all volunteers from Delaware and Union counties, they wrote to them, offering to obta'n the face value of the scrip in consideration of a fee of $25. Nothing was said about the interest attached to the scrip. In many cases no return whatever was made of the scrip, and its unfortunate owners lost all. The total amoupt of the steal is over $18,000. Seventyeight persons have been victimized in Delaware County "alone, and a large amount of money has been paid to the attorneys for the people of whom no trace can be found.

The increase of 911,000,000 will be mainly furnished by the United States, the Witwaterstrandt regions of South Africa and Russia. The figures for the Unite 1 States, although not yet quite complete, indicate an increase of $4, 000,0 JO over those for 1892. The increase in South Africa will be about $6,000,000, in Russia about half a million and in Australia about half a million. There will be small gains in other countries, including China and Japan, but they may be offset by small losses elsewhere. track aa Icobei-.

On March 13 they had been married sixty years, The Peru City Council are making a big kick against the straw-board works at Wabash empting the refuse into the Wabash Rivet, from Which stream the water works at Peru gets its supply. An analysis of the water shows t lat it is poisoned by the refuse. Ezra Marker, 14 years old, while pumping at one of the oil wells east of ftlontpeiier, was caught by a belt on the ankle and drawn up by a belt until his flesh and bones were all crushed. Doctors amputated the legs, but he died immediately after the operation. The Citizens' Bank, just organized at Matinsville, has for its directors Sylvanus Barnard, John H.

AU efforts to capture this "Jack the fire bug" have thus far failed, notwithstanding rewards Offered and patrolling of the district. It is be lieved to be the work of a monomaniac. This makes the tenth incendiary fire Within the past month. James M. Reynolds, of Lafayette, has been appointed a trustee of Purdue University, to succeed Colonel Dresser,' whose recent death left a vacancy on that board. Mr. Reynolds is a man of large means who is engaged extensively in real estate operatious. He is thoroughly in sympathy with Pur; due's success, and appears to be just the man for the place. President1 Smart, and others prominently identified with the institution, favored the selection of Mr. Reynolds, whom they regard as a valuable man for Purdue, He is a Republican, and the nonparti san cnaracter of the board is thud maintained. H. O. HuFfer, a young school1 teacher of Farmland, has invented a new machine for the prevention Of thieves entering and destroying watermelon patches. The machine is a piece of gas pipe, with string attach-1 ments running in each direction through the melon patch, so that when the strings are touched a lever is) thrown and a heavy discharge of what' ever the pipe may be loaded with is; scattered in all directions for a hun1 dred yards. It will throw shot hard enough to go through a half-inch board.

ABOUT two months ago the large barn of George Hupp ana Lewis Httff ner, near Elwood, was destroyed by fire, and a valuable stallion belonging to John Stover was supposed to have perished. A skeletoriwas found in the' ashes after the fire. The stallion was worth about M, 000, and, owing to certain circumHtances, Stover was loth to believe the horse had burned up. He began an investigation, and soon ascertained enough to warrant him in believing that another horse was substituted for tie stallion and the barn fired to cover the theft. It is now stated that the horse is known to have been taken to Bartholomew County, and that it is there to-dav. Mr. "Stover hopes to soon have the thieves in a net. The mystery surrounding the many incendiary fires in Peru the past month was solved the other night by the arrest of two young men, William Koob, aged 2?, and John Gould, aged 20. Both are sons oi w ell-known people. About 10 o'clock another fire occurred, by which the barn of Joseph Buffert Was destroyed. The pent-up indignation burst forth and 500 people started out to discover the incendaries. They were caught about midnight by two special policemen. The boys showed fight, and, flourishing large revolvers, eluded the oficers for a time, but were found several hours afterward hiding among the freight cars. Both confessed: to setting fire to all the buildings burned. Dime novels and excitement are given as the incentives. Thousands of dollars have been destroyed and the city has been in a ferment for the past month. As high as. two and three alarms in one night have been sent in, while owners of property nightly patroled their premises. Fire originating from the smoke stack of a" neighboring sawmill destroyed the barn of John Oswalt, four miles north of Wabash, together with three horses, a quantity of grain, hay, agricultural implements, and three horses will have to be shot.

The moments of excitement and anxiety while the burglars were captured had driven it from his mind; but now ho remembered all that Sir Humphrey had said, and, even while his heart was torn with fear that she, perchance, was lost to him forcver,athrlll of prido wont through him for her sake. Sir Humphrey was pacing tho flodr of the library as the Karl entered, "You have no picture Of your Wife to show me, have you?" he asked abruptly. xioy colored with naiti, for, irl thfl acknowledgement that he possessed nd memento of Alice, he had to own to the past feelings of coldness, unjustncss, and contempt, "I have none," lib replied quietly, bur.- Sir Humphrey road his faeo. "Please God you will need none," he observed. "Surely she must bo found to-night, Darrell."" Thoir hanis unconsciously tightened : v. ... l ' "I dare not think of it," muttered Roy hoar. ely. "The old woman has ! confessed that that Jura loved her. so tnat tnat jura loved ner. She is i this 1 feel mad!" j "Take me to your mother,'' the oldor man said gently. "It is but right you : should both know tho history of this girl who so strangely became your wife. Ah, Darrell, truth is indeed strangor than fiction, and this child's . story is a proof of that. " Roy turned and lod tho way to his ' mother's room. I Lady Darrell roso, with outstretched hands, as Sir Humphrey entered. "Wolcomo home, old friends!" she said warmly. "How many years have ' passed since we met, and to meet now j at sucn a time: Koy nas orieuy torn me how it comes that you are here; as yet I am in a maze of astonishment!" dear lady." Sir Humphrey placed her cai'ofully in her chair. "I will make my story as short as possible. You J may remember years ago, when the Abbey was not the ruined place it is now. that occasionally my son. and ... HVV 1I,0 JUM pometimes 1 myself, came td it in the autumn, and despite its clieei'lesj character managed to be very comfdrtable wim u low guns -miunaie inenus,wnu , found the sport around ample com- j pensation for the solitary grandeur ol the domicile. "The autumn your husband died I believe you spent abroad, this man" putting his hand on Roy's shoulder was then an infant: for some reason I forget what now, business I think I was unable to visit the Abbey. Fulke, my son, departed without me. I thought him surrounded with his friends, but after a few weeks had elapsed I soon discovered this was not so. To explain briefly, Fulke had purposely visited the Abbey alone save lor his servants, drawn thither by a woman. This was a girl, a governess, whom he had met and protected from some insult, and attracted by her great beauty, fallen madly la lovo With. The goverhess, Margaret Dor n ton, soon after this meeting left her situation. Fulke discovered she had returned to the only home she knew, an old maiden aUiit; living in the town of Nestley, and. without a wbrd he followed hen The rest Was simple; his love bore down all her scruples, she was a dependent, unhappy young woman. "Fulk soon won his way; she became his wife. Judge me harshly if you will, but on receiving the news I refused to see them, to acknowledge her as my daughter, or assist Fulke to provide for the low-born wife he had chosen, as I then called her. Since then I have discovered that she was the daughter of an officer, a brave, gallant man, in every way my son's equal, but blinded as I was with rage and prido, I doubt if, even had I known it then, it would have availed much. Two years passed, all letters that reached me I burned unopened. My friends tried to reconcile us; I was firm. Then catrie the hews sudden, awful, terrible" Sir Humphrey passed his hand over his brow "Fulke was dead, I read it in a newspaper. He had had an accident, and died instantaneously. Then my remorse began. I set out for Italy, where my poor son lay. He was buried .rhen I arrived. His wife had disappeared, taking her child with her. For year after year 1 have searched without avail, when a few weeks ago fate flung me against a farmer m America, a man named Brown, who had lived in this neighborhood. Without knowing me he gave vent to a grumble at the country, stating why he had come away from England. The name of Margaret Dornton, the girl you had married, told me at once my search was ended. Then with threats and cajoling I got t he truth out of the man and his wife. My son's wife had died under their roof. Broken hearted, sick unto death, she had dragged herself from Italy to place Fulke'8 child in my arms, tier aunt wan dead. She was utterly alone. Feeling that her own end was approaching, she traveled to Nestley, hearing 1 was ot the Abbey, but before she could reach me she passed away. Brown confesses now that she left a sum of money in their hands, with her dying command that the child was to be taken to me. How they kept that command you know. On every band I have heard of their crutlty and neglect of my grandchild, and tbeir robbery of tho money that should have been hers. I had given my word that they should go unpunished ii they told all, but I confess to having folt a desire to mete them out the justice t hey deserved. When I knew all 1 hastened to Nestley, traveled down with Geoffrey, and learnt that my search was far from ended, and that the child I loved was found, was ruthelesaly torn from my arms, perhaps forever. Lady Darrell stretched out her thin, white hand. "Have courage, dear friend," she said gently. "She will be found I am sure of it." Roy bent and kissed his mother, his face white and agitated. "She shall be found if she is alive," he said hoarsely. "I will bring her back to you myself, Sir Humphrey." Without another word, he strode from the room, and down the stairs to the other two. "I am ready whonever you like," he said abruptly. Geoffrey Armistead looked up from his note-book. "Newton has returned from Nestley. No one answering our description has left the station. They have telegraphed up to London for more men, and have sent some police to Moretown, which place I propose we visit ourselves." Frank got up eagerly, while the Earl buttoned his riding-gloves In a nervous manner, Geoffrey Armistead alone was calm he was too used to trickery and deceit-and his ouiet manner was as a rock of strength to the other twomen, who were trembling with excitement. I win rufii iaurtin nnrl nnnthat. man with us," ho declared: and in a few moments the whole party were once more on horseback and away. Alice sat beside Myra as the por y, nrged by the whip,almostflew througn the dark path. She also grasped the side of the cart, and clutched it as if its firm hardness were the barrier between her and worse than death. Occasionally her apprehension would be so great that a sigh escaped her, but beyond that she made no sigh. As thoy rattled on, the l'ony grew gradually ciistressod. "Ha can't mo much fui'ther." Myra said, sulilleilly breaking .lit liifSO.

"We must get out in a lew minutes and walk the rest." "What will you do with him?" Alice asked hurriedly. "Nothing. Just leave him beside the road; some one w'.ll find him and take him home. Now, jump down; we've got a good mile to go yet." Alice stopped to pat the good little annual who had helped her so well, then clasping the hand Myra held out, they hiirried on over tho rough road almost at u run. It waA now quite dark: the slat's shone here and there, but the moon fefused to lighten the gloom. "Now wtj can rest," Myra said breathlessly as they approached tHe town; "wo must make some plans. It is too late to got to London to-night; we must take a room at the inn." "Yes," murmured Alice almost spent with iatigue, sinking to the ground. "Then the first thing in the morn ing we can creep out, get to the station, go up to town: once there, I know of a safe corner to hide till you can let ' "TJ'JSa.

"No, no," she 'said faintly; "I shall not let them know 1 am best lost! I will work, beg starve but I will not go back." Myra looked at her curiously. "You have a husband," she said abruptly; "do you not lovo him?" A blush covered Alice's pale face, but the. darkness hid It. "I have no husband," she said in low tones. "1 am nothing to him. Hehe is nothing to me. There is another who has greater claim on him than I , nnVn to her feat again. f ou we til.ed and w got into II,. tnH flDri fl HWlffl " Have vou monev?" asked Alice, ris ing with difficulty. "Yes," Myra answered briefly; "enough to last till we get safely away. Here is the inn; Now them. Stand behind me; I must tell somd lie Or We shall riot get id." . Alice shrank back intb tho darkness of the portico, while Myra rang the bell Joudly. Moretown was an early place, and the inn was closed for the night "We want a room," she said boldly, as the sleepy landlord appeared "a room for my mistress and myself. We've lost the last train to London, My mistresB was telegraphed for, her brother is very ill. We start by the first train in the morning." The man rubbed his chin and looked douFTtful fur a momnet "My missus is abed," he said after a while. "Has you gotten money?" "Moneys yes," Myra chinked her purse. "Make haste apd don't ask any more questions, or my mistress will just go off to the other inn." "Lawks no. Come ye In. I dare say it's all right; but it's main queer to see two young women out this time o' night." "Hold your tongue and lead the way up," Myra commanded; and as the man lit a candid, she dragged Alice in, whd Was half fainting with fatigue and tear. "Lawks, she do look ill !', exclaimed the man. "Be she going to die, missus? If so, she can't come in here." "Die! No, fool! She's upset, as you would be if your brother were as ill as hers. There, go on! Fetch us some food, and be quick about it." The man toiled up the old-fashioned staircase, and Myra followed with some difficulty, for she supported Alice, whose strength was going at every tep. Onoe inside the sweet-smelling bed loom, Myra put her gently into a chair, and with one faint sigh Alice's head rank back, and she became uncontious. fcllAlTKR Vlt. As sbon as the food came, Myra busied herself in restoring the poor girl who lay before her so white and cold. "Her strength is gone," she murmured, wetting the pale lips with some brandy she had ordered: "she wants the fire of revenge and jealousy to keep her up as I am kept." Her efforts were soon rewarded; Alice's dark eyelashes wore lifted, and she looked round. She smiled faintly as she mot tne glance of Myra's great dark eyes, and tried to rise. "First you must eat some food, and then you must lie down on the bed and sleep. 1 have told that tool to call us at six the train goes at half-past; we are close to the station.'' "But will he not reach us before then?" gasped Alice. "We must risk that," Myra said eloomilv. "He will be insensible for some time, and then the cart has gone, so we have a very food start. But be 1 brave, you are free now; trust in me, and you shall remain tree, or my lite will answer for it. He shall not get you into his power, the cruel, cowardly wretch!" Alice bent and kissed her brown hands. "Has he wronged you?" she whispered. "Wronged? aye, most shamefully. But now eat. and then to sleep." Alice swallowed a few mouthfuls of bread she could do no more then with feeble steps made her way to the bed, and flung herself on it. In a few minutes she was asleop. Myra folded her arms and stood gazing at her for some time. The fair, pale beauty of the young face touched her great womanly heart with pity; she read tho traces of sorrow round the sweet mouth, and from the few words Alice had uttered, she knew that Borne grief had entered this other gin's life too. "She is too fral to bear much," she murmured; "what shall I do with her? I am not fit to live with her, besides, I live now for revenge;" she clenched I her hand. "Who is she. I wonder, and ; why will she not seek her friends? I Perhaps she may think differently in the morning, wow l must rest." Myra flimg herself into a chair. She would not disturb Alice "She can sleep," she murmured; "my brain refuses to be stilled. She has done no wrong, while I Oh, George George, how cruel you have been; and how I loved you!" She covered her face with her hands, and choking sobs broko from her lips. Alice stirred uneasily in her sleep, but her fatigue was too great; she did not waken, and by and by Myra's paroxysm oi grief died away and she too slept. The two girls were safely away before the chloroform began to leave Count Jura's brain, then he gradually came to his senses. He groaned a little, and mwod nnoasilv on the ground, then as '.as brain grew clearer, he staggered to his feet and leaned against a portion of the broken wall to think. "What happened?" he mused, passfnr. a tian1 mint ifu Vi..riii ' 1 1 waa stilled fell to the Ah, I remembor! It was Myra, curse her! Where is she now? Can they be gone?" He stood upright and peered into the darkness; not a sound met his ear. "Curse her, she is gone, and the other with her ! Now what to ao - What is this?" His foot struck the box on the ground; he stooped. "The diamonds. Great Heaven ! they have left them. Good. I will take them. Which way will they have gone? Quick, let me think. The pony cart.

The cilft was gone as he foai'od. Ho Stood still and thought what to do. HO must walk: there was no other Way. It would bo madness to stay in the vaults. Paul Ross was growing suspicious, and the Count felt that Paul's fear about the Graiiire robbery coming o'T wrong was woll founded. No; he must get away. The few etcps he took iomod miles; the perspiration trickled lrom his brow; still he went on. Just as he was growing al'ogotbcr spent, his quick oar caught tho sound of something moving towards him. He drow his revolver, and, creeping into the bu.-shoa, waited. The noiso came nearer, his eye saw the outline of Some object. He strode forward a little with an exclamation of delight, put away his i'eVolver and went towards it. It Was the pony and cart .Myra had deserted. The pony walked on slowly, browsing the grass as he went. Count Jura could have embraced the animal. He thought for a moment, then dfew the pony back from tho rdad, unharnesBed him, tethered him to a treo. then hiding the diamonds under the straw of the bottom of the cart, he wrapped himself in tho cloak ho hud placed before under the seat, and made himself as comfortable as circumstances would permit. He was thoroughly worn out with fatigue, and in a very few minutes was fast asleep. Thb landlord of tho inn was up early. It waa market day at More'.dwn, auu he would do good business. It wanted a few minutes to 5 o'clock, but already the market people were coming into tho town and he would have to get breakfast for some.His wife was busy in the kitchen, and away from her sharp eye tho landlord found many an opjmrtuntty to exchange greetings with Ins friends.

Dangerous Crossing. Mrs. H. V. Track e, the author of those pictures of camp-life in the central Himalayas, entitled. ' How I Shot my bears," describes two methods of crossing rivers in tho Kullu Valley, which are certainly not adapted to the use of persons With Weak nerves. One means of crossing the river Beas is by Jhula bridges, made of stout cables formed of ropea of birch and willow twiga These cables are carried across the river, and firmly secured to either bank. From two to three feet telow the cables, a third is fixed, and attached to the side cablet by ropes passed over them. It is, of course, onlj available for foot-passengers, and not to be recommended to those who may have weak heads. Another method of passing from one bank to another Is by floating across on the Inflated skin of a buffalo. The carcass is skinned as one skins an eel, the hole caused by the eyes firmly closed with a leather lace, and the skin, well cured and oiled, is blown out with case by its owner. It is propelled by the ferryman, lying on his stomach and paddling with his bands and feet most dexter. ouslyj while the passenger sits astride, With his feet In the Water, and very oiteoi i should imagine, With h e heart lu his mouth. Th'g manner of crossing, however, is preferred to the jhula bridge, especially by women, who get terribly fr ghtened when they are half-way across, and the bridge is in full swing. They have been known to stick in the middle, unable to move from fright, and It is difficult to render assistance, as the bridge ts only supposed to carry one person at a time. Flowers by the Wayside. No doubt we owe many plant names to tbe Inventive genius of out forefathers, to whom the shape or habit of a flower suggested the name chosen for it, as in the case of the dandelion. This name is not at all far-fetched, for It is but a rendering in the vernacularof the French words dent-de-lion tooth of tbe lion referring to the tooth-edged plant. A common and useful herb is tansy, which word is a shortening of the French Sain Athanasle. The name nettle comes from tbe Anglo-Saxon word nctel, meaning a needle, and from the same source we get scrob, a shrub, andgeardin, or garden or enclosure. Solomon's seat was supposed to bear a seal on th ' root, which was visible on its being cut through, but tbe real reason is a different one. The plant is a rhizome, and in creeping, underground stems send up a new growth every year, leaving the scar of last year like the remains of a miniature extinct volcano, or a deeply-indented seal. The name potato probably comes from the native name of the sweet potato, batata, aa to n ato comes from tamyte, the Malay name of the plant Foxglove lolk's glove is suggestive of its name, and so if wall flower, snapdragon, kidney beans, scarlet runners, and many others. Horse chestnut is so called because the turks used to grind the nuts and give them to such of their horses as were broken winded. Sweet William is quite a puzzler. Some say it Is a corruption of Saint William, and It has even been suggested that it refers to the divine William, the bard of Avon. He Lost His Case. "Judge Emerson, one of the most eloquent men Illinois ever produced, was once taken down completely In a speech at Decatur," said K. F. Layman, an attorney of Chicago. "Ho had a case in which there was some peculiarly pathetic circumstances tho rights of a young girl whose property had been squandered aud who was reduced to destitution being involved. Judge Emerson made the most of it, and. as he closed his speech, a solemn hush had fallen over the court room "Tears stood in the eyes of the jurors, and even the Judge coughed sympathetically and hid his head Inshind tbe trial docket His opponent, whose name I have now forgotten, saw tbat the spell had to be brok n in some way, or his case was lost. Arising slowly to bis feet, and in a voice of deep solemnity, aud with slow deliberation, he said: "Gentlemen of the jury, let us continue these solemn exercises by singing the 115th Tsalm.' A roar o' laughter followed from the audience, und Judge Emerson lost his case." St. Louis Globe-Democrat Bonil'ace. The nameof "Boniface," as applied to hotel keepers, is derived from ,a devout and hospitable man whom Saint Augustine created a saint. Subsequently he became the patron saint of Germany, and it was in t hat country, according to some writer, that hotel or ta vein keepers, as well as those among private cithen.s who were hospitable, and who at times kept "upen house," as the saying is, were dubbed honifaces. .

-AND-

StomaehLiver CiiFe The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as tho Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Forest HUk. Thin wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of tho most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and valuu to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in tile care of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its grn.t curati ve powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is it marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to uso this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Toni.c. NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseased, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nervo food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food bo supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous derangement.
