W. Axtell, Esq., who moved from Bloomfield to Marion some time last April, has become a "faith doctor," and it is reported he is having wonderful success. Mr. Axtell has joined the school of theosopby, and here is a definition of the term, according to Webster: "Supposed intercourse with God and superior spirits,

and consequent attainment of

superhuman knowledge, by pbysi-

,cal processes."

Dr. Dudley S. Reynolds, of Louisville delivered a lecture before the law class of the University, taking for his subject "Mental Responsibility." He thought the use of narcotics produced disease of the brain. Tobacco, be said, was more injurious to the constitution of mankind than alcohol. He described the effects upon the brain and heart, the former being active, due to the stimulating effect of the weed and the latter sluggish. More crime can be traced tojiarcotics than any other source. He thought the rising

generation should educate them

selves to shun the use of tobacco, as a disease breeder.

The "Prosfress" is in receiot

rs if of a ticket of admission to the

House of Representatives, forwarded by our good friend, John W. Cravens. This is a reckless thinsr to do. however, for an in-

dividual is apt to put in most of

his time m the 11. of Kcps. to the neglect of his regular business. Let this be as it may the constituents of Mr. Cravens will always find him ready and willing to show them any favor in his power. In this Mr. Cravens differs from many men who get into public position. The past week has been one

of reckless, feverish excitement

in this city. The skating rink has been inducing crowds, the students gave a play that drew many people to the gymnasium, an opera company at the grand opera bouse had its nightly attendance, circuit court compelled the attendance of interested crowds each day, and the grip held its own. We are noted as a mercurial people and are building an east and west railroad. Get behind us, Bedford. One of the "stunning coens" who was much admired by a certain class of people for his accomplishments as a eake walker, has been recognized as a Shelbyville, Kentucky murderer. He goes by the name of J as. Dupuy. It iy said that a great many white people were enamoured of this swag

gering coon, borne people have queer tastes-yit shows that there are a great many common cattle

here who are not colored.

J. W. O'Harrow has been

especially unfortunate since locat

ing here in the matter of health. For about fifteen days be was un

able to get around, except on

crutches, because of a sprained

ankle; then he was confined to his

room for about three weeks with

uiumps. Ho may have measles

or whooping cough next. John is a nice fellow, all the same, if he does have mumps. Paoli Republican: BertSpicely, a bright vounsr lawver of

Bloomington, son of the late Gen.

m. i. apicely, was here last week and succeeded in quieting the title to some Orleans property which his father acquired by Sheriff's and tax sale moro than twenty years ago. The matter was satisfactorily arranged and the lots were sold to George Dempster. John O. Rush of Salt Creek

tp., who was interviewed recently

by persons who held hickorv

switches in their hands, is out of humor over it, and through his attorney, Hon. John R. East, has

sued for $5,000 Frank White.

Mrs. I. P. Hopewell has an

considerable excitement over indictments returned against officials, some of whom are still in office and others whose terms of office

by too police of that pious village. Bedford is getting to be a rail

road city by fotce of circumstances

more rapidly than its citizens can

An Army Story. An amusing' incident of csmp lifs at Chickamanga is related by a returned trooper. The star? began when Private Jack Holland was kicked by a mule. Two days later the mule died

' ia camf . This was on Sunday,

Arrangements had been made for divine serrice in a grove adjoining the camp. Maj. Sanborn assembled the first battalion, and whan the ranks

were formed he naid: "Of course, attendance on Sunday service cannot bn made compulsory in the army, and and all those who do not desire to attund will take one atop to the rear." Twelve (men promptly fell out ol ranks. The rest of the battalion marched away to the exove. Than tha

I Major, turning to the squad of twelve

men, said: "I want you men to go ont and bury that mule this afternoon." They looked at one another a minnte. This was one of the soldier's duties they had not counted on when they took the oath of allegiance; bt there was no getting away from tha orders, and with heavy hearts they set out f ir the spot where Jack Holland's late aggressor laid in the snn. . It was 3 o'clock when they began work, and the mule waa an ordinary sized animal; but when they had dug down into the sand for an hour or an and made a grave abont 6 feet deep, they turned to look at the mole, aad he seemed to have increased in dimensions. They returned to their task and dug still deeper aad wider, and every time they glanced baek at the mule he saemed larger than before. The sun, with one parting whack at the dead mule, disappeared over to ward "Lookout Mountai n before that grave was large enough, and meanwhile the rest of the battalion had returned from service and sat around in the shade, writing home to mother and extending encouraging remarks to the grave diggers. It is related that on every Sunday thereafter those twelve men occupied front seats at th.s Sunday servicea. .
