STILL KILLING TIME.

The Bible Contest, Still Dragging its Weary Length Along, In tbe Bible contest suit yesterday afternoon the plaintiff put on Levi Booz to prove that he was an illegal voter. Booz testified, however, that lie had been here long enough before the election to ucquire a residence, and had declared his intention of voting here all along. Billy McClellan a Democrat testified to the same effect.

The vote of John Mosier was then assailed but the plaintiff's witness, S. B. Luckett, Democrat, stated that he had lived here a year and a half previous to the election. It was developed by the testimony of Luckett and M. J. Gorrell that MoBierhad been away but a week during this time. His abspnco was when Co. I, to which Mosier beiongs, went to the World's Fair opening, and Mosier staid behind about four days to visit.

John Meteer, a villianous and rascally student testified that he was president the outrageous McKinley club of the college, and that Democrats frequently took part in its parades in order to be seen in good company.

Wm. Bobbins, another student, testified in solemn and convincing tone, that went to Sullivan county to vote. This weighty and relevant testimony gave dignity to Bible's cause.

Fred. Manson, a Democrat, testified that his brother-in-law, James Lewis, was a Republican, studying dentistry in Chicago. That he came here when his mother lives to vote, claiming this as his home.

Jere Keeney testified Harry Kiu^, the mail clerk who voted here, was keeping house in St. Joe, Mich. Marion Clodfelter and W. M. White testified that Krag made a statement one year ago that he resided in St. Joe.

Bennett Engle was put on to prove that Sailor Jack voted illegally, having left his residence three weeks before the election. When asked what Jack's politics were, Mr. Engle replied that Jack had told hiu shortly before the election that he didn't intend to vote the Bepublican ticket any more.

The plaintiff, John Bible, took the stand and testified that 4ie lived at the jail, but on cross examination, admitted that that wasn't a permanent residence. As bo took his seat be got gay and remarked, "They did't ax me was I a Democrat." Thereupon he was called back and forced to admit that he was a Democrat who sometimes scratched his ticket. He had scratched for W. W. Tiffany and John Gains, among others.

To everyone's surprise the plaintiff here rested his case. The plaintiff having rested, Mr. Davis began to introduce his testimony. L,

Wheeler testified that Will Craig was drummer, and had always made and declared this to be his home. Had never voted elsewhere.

J. H. Watson, Democratic judge, and J. N. Vansandt, inspector in precinct 4, when the mistake of five votes was made, testified that they had the tally sheets in their direct care from election day until the board of canvassers met, and that the mistake was made by the clerks. It was impossible for it to have been otherwise, everything being sealed and locked up as soon as the count was finished. Mr. Davis, in their judgment, was entitled to the votes.

Milt Stuckey, of Sugar Creek, testified that J. T. Hodge, whose vote was questioned, had lived with him for years, and was a legal voter.

At the opening of court this morning W. E. Nicholson testified that Harry Krug was a mail clerk and forced by circumstances to make headquarters in St. Joe. He regarded this as his residence and paid tuition for hie sister-in-law in the public schools of St. Joe thus signifying that he was no resident.

Jasper Hornbeck knew that Fred Ohaver had lived in this county for years and that he was here 60 days before the election.

Mary Lewis testified that her son James Lewis, was in Chicago merely for a time, that this was his home and that his effects were here.

Marshall Nye testified that Squire Clark, jr., was a Democrat who voted here, had been living at Elwood for two years and had taken the last of his goods away long before the election.

Hal McDaniel testified that Jake MoNeeley, a Democrat who voted had been absent long before the election and was not a legal voter.

Ed Lidikey, of Ladoga, testified that a Democrat named Callahan had voted in his precinct, who had only been in the county since Sept. 1G.

Judge Snyder talked with Dr. Bailey last spring and the doctor then declared this his home and expressed his intention of voting here.

Tbe Hop Last Mipht.

The dance given by the P. O. S. of A, commandery at their armory last even ing proved to be a most successful and enjoyable social event. The Hoor was in splendid condition and the thirty couples in attendance filled it nicely without crowding or unpleasant features, The music, which was furnished by the orchestra, was unusually fine and the merry dancers did not desist until the last strain of the home waltz had been played. The commandery is to be con gratulated upon the success ot the hop.

Quail Law in Force.

This is the last day on which quail may be legally killed. The law pro looting them goes into force to-morrow and he who hunts after that does so at his peril.

Right lively burg is Craw, fordsville. —Lot of gold and pearl toothpicks have come at C. L. Boat's.

COLLEGE J50XE8.

The December number of the Wabash will be out before Christmas. The Wabash will be out to-morrow. Students going home before Thnrsday should leave their address with Hughart.

Harvard has 700,000 volumes in her library and Yale 200,000, so if Yale has the better foot ball team Harvard has the better library by far.

Yale and Harvard have their annual debate on Jan. 18. Three speakers represent each college. Eloquence and oratory run rife at these debates.

The largest foot ball scores on record were made by Harvard against Exeter in 1880, when she scored 128-0. By Yale against Wesleyan ia 1886, 136-0 and in 1884 Princeton-LaFayette, 140 0.

The all-powerful "perfumed" and opulent "preps" stalk into the library about 10 a. m. and take poBeBaion of the whole building. The self-confi-dence of the Freshmen is put to flight at times by the presumption of these audaoious mortals.
