WANT TO SKI. I..

The Chicago syndicate owning'the local water plant arc anxious to sell it. They state that tliev will sell any time and willingly at the price sot on the plant by a committee of disinterested hydraulic engineers as provided in the city ordinance. The probable price would be 7o.oni or £SO.OOO. A city official this morning informed Tut Jot'KNAT that he would favor the purchase. The city after June 1 will have a bonded indebtcdne.ssof -?40.0Xi. as SIS.000 will be paid off then. This would allow her to take on a further bonded indebtedness of about Stf.l.uoo and any bank in town would lend the city the balance required on a note. The city now pays SC.OtKi a year hydrant rental and will have to pay it for thirteen years longer unless the plant is bought. This would make STS.OOO or about enough to purchase the plant. Of course, tiie interest on the debt would amount to considerable. The official, however, said the money could be had at .1 per cent, and this would amount to 55J,000 for IS years. Thus there would be a saving of :.'i .000 to the city if there was not a cent of the debt paid. The official calculated, however, that the rates to private consumers could be cut in two and the debt paid oiT at the rate of S3,000 a year. Then besides, all the money would be kept in Crawfordsville, whereas, now every six mouths the city government alone sends over $3,000 in rents to Sew York. The syndicate is anxious to sell as it feels1" it can never overcome the hostility it lias incurred here.

TIIF. verdict of the jury in awarding S1.1.0IH) damages in favor of Madeline Pollard against Congressman llreckinridge for breach of promise is in accordance with public opinion throughout the county. The people feel that justice has Wen done. It will have a wholesome effect. The rules of decency and purity will be drawn more, rigidly in the future. Other Madeline Pollards will now come to the front and expose the other Breckinridges which can be found, in high life in every btate in the Union. The baseness and hypocrisy of such men should be exposed. These men should be made share the shame and disgrace with their victims. Of what use is a future hell? Ureekinridge has already suffered the torments of the damned.

From suffering this penalty there can be no appeal.

EX-SIM-.AKKK IvKkri has been splendidly vindicated. The. .Democratic caucus ..has decided to adopt- practically the rules which prevailed during the Fiftyfirst Congress, and to count, for the purpose of making a quorum, all members present in the House whether thev vote or not. It was the only sensible tiling for them to do. Of course they will not acknowledge that, they are the Heed rules, but the Reed rules bv any other name will smell as sweet to the Ucpublicans.

Lrnj.iv drops of water make an ocean: little particles of matter make .the earth, and little nests af Democrats in little cities like l.afavette inake a great party, dangerous to free instftnt.or.s.—Oijuyctic Qunlfjsh.

The tsaine remarks will apply to .Crawfordsville. The little nests of Democrats in all the cities of the country have been sweptas with the besom of destruction. Crawfordsville wants to stand up and be counted with her

Bisters.

Tun Democracy are working the till hunt racket. They have no expectation of electing their ticket but they have a great desire to keep the Kepnbliean majorities down to the minimum figures. Republicans should be on the alert and not be caught napping. They should throw away no complimentarv votes.

KVEKY Republican should bear in mind that each and all of the Democratic candidates on the city ticket voted for Orover Cleveland and thereby assisted in bringing on the hard times, hey should be held to a strict accountability for not knowing better.

T)IK Republican city ticket is worthy of support. In fact no better set of names was ever presented to the voters. They are all men of affairs. They have the experience and will admin ister the laws in a most faithful man ner..

CHAITKU XVII—Continued.i

t?nt over alt her thoughts there brooded, like a dark cloud of gloom, the fear that there might be some other and more terrible reason for his' having gone away. She herself had urged him to go and see Mr. Coode at the mill and she asked herself with fear and trembling whether he had gone there and if so what had passed between the two? Despite her utmost efforts she could not keep away that cold feeling at the heart which seemed to chill her blood, at the recollection of the wild words she had heard him utter about Mr. Coode an' those who hail wronged him about the money.

Then she thought of the book she held in her hand—a large album. Chancing to open it she turned the leaf where were the photographs of Tom and herself. All the circumstances of the time when it had been taken flashed into her memory. She closed the book with a sigh deeper than ever, and fastening the clasp carried the album to the shelf on which it always rested.

As she put it back she noticed that some of the other books were out of place, and she tried to push them into line. There seemed to be something behind which prevented them from going into their proper places. She took down two or three to see what was the cause of their sticking out, and tlieu saw a paper parcel lying hehind them. "This is not like you, Tom," she whispered to herself, under her breath, as she took it out. and made room for the books on the shelf.

It was something very heavy, about eighteen inches in length, and was wrapped in strong writing paper. It had evidently been wrapped up hurriedly: and when she looked closely at the paper she saw that it was some of that which Tom had been in the habit of using for his accounts for the sick fund--large foolscap sheets of thick white paper.

She felt it curiously all along, and it seemed to be square with a large knob at one end. It could not be anything very important, she thought, or Tom would never have left it where he had. Thinking this, she unfolded the paper.

Suddenly she littered a cry. It was a short square bar of steel, with a fragment of a broken cog-wheel at one end. The broken end was stained with blood, and clinging to it .were a number of gray hairs, and there was blood on the inner paper.

Marv stood gazing at the fearsome object almost like one spellbound. The air round her went dark and thick. She could scarcely breathe, and grew giddy. She thought she was going to faint. Then a sound of some one moving in the passage behind her recalled her from her fright, and she sought in stinctively to cover up the dreadful tiling she had found.

Itut she was too late. Before she could hide it, or even hide the marks of the blood, Reuben Gorringe entered the room. "I forgot to say. just now, Mary," he began, then, changing his tone suddenly. he cried: "My God! Mary, what's that? \Vhat have you there?" and he hurried forward and took it from her scarce resisting hand, and scrutinized it minutely.

Then he lifted his eyes from the gruesome sight, and looked at the girl and each read the thoughts which it had stirred in the other.

CHAPTER XVIII.

WHAT SAVANNAH HAD TO SAT.

"What can this mean?" said Gorriuge, in a low, strained tone, as if speaking in pain and fear.

He had paled a little, and trembled and his finger shook as he pointed it at the blood-stained end of the bar. It was a fearsome, ghastly weapon, all suggestive of horrible cruelty and violence.

Mary made no answer. .Sl£ was too overcome to be able to spenk for the moment. She leaned heavily on the table, and, moving slowly, sank upon a chair that stood by it, and bent her face upon her hand.

The man was filled with pity tit the sight of her terrible, silent agony but he knew the girl better than to show his feelings. lie sought to rouse her to action. "Tom must be brought back," he said. "This must be faced." 'There was a ring of determination in his voice, and a suggestion that Tom hail onjv to come back in order to clpnr

away tho mists, for which the girl WHS thankful. She looked up for a moment and showed her gratitude in the glance. "Do you know where he is?" he asked.

The girl shook her head. "That's bad. Any delay is full of danger. The iuqucst is this afternoon, you know." "A HI"

The exclamation seemed to be wrung from her, despito her will. Then she looked again at Gorringe, this timo with an almost imploring expression, while her eyes traveled again to the terrible evidence of the murder which ho held in his hand.

He understood the look. "You think no mention need be made of this to-day?" "Xeed it?" "No, 1 think perhaps not. Littlo more than is absolutely necessary will be done to-day to enable the funeral to take place." "Thanlc you." said Marv. gratefully, interpreting this as an indication that he would keep the secret for a time.

Delay meant hope for her. Then an idea occurred to her, and, supplying a purpose, gave a direction to her thoughts, and in this way restored somewhat her self-control.

She rose from her chair, firm in her object, and surprised Gorriuge by the sudden change she showed. "I was overcome and scared at the sight of such a thing as that," she said, pointing to the weapon with a shudder "but I am better. 1 found it here behind these books. They are Tom's. No one goes to them except him. I don't know what it means, but whatever the truth may be it must come out. It frightens me now when I think of it but it would kill me if I were to try and keep such a matter secret."

Gorringe looked at. her, but she met the look without flinching. "Do you mean you will tell the coroner's jury that you found this thing here among Tom's books?" he said, to test what she meant. "If necessary, yes," she answered. "Xot to-day, unless necessary but whenever it must be done. I will say how I found it. If it means what at first I thought it meant it will kill mo to have to say it." She sighed deeply and put her hand to her eyes, and added, in a very low tone: "Hut it would kill me as surely to keep silent." "My poor girl!" said the man, tenderly. "It is a fearful time for you!" "You will spare me from having to speak of this to-day, then?" she said, with a wan and feeble smile, as she held out her hand to him. "You are good to me, Mr. Gorringe."

A HARD -T IMES REMEDY

He laid the paper with its ghastly contents on the table as he took her hand and pressed it. "1 will do all in my power for you, Mary," he said, earnestly. "We had better leave it in exactly the place where it was found," said Mary, quietly. "Had I not better take it with me?" asked the man. "Why? The truth has to be told, and thus it is better placed where it was found."

He did not press the matter, and before he could say anything further the girl took his hand in hers and thanked him again for sparing her the need of speaking about the discovery at once. "You will tell me all that happens, or that you hear?" she said, as tliey separated at the door and he promised.

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes that he had a severe kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his ba_-k and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began the use of Electric Hitters and found relief at once. Electric Hitters is especially adapted to cure of all kidney and liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price only .".Oc. for large bottle.

Extraordinary.

Our efforts to please have been appreciated as attested

by the crowds that have visited our store every

day the past week.

Rain or shine, the coming has been one steady rush.

We are confident we are pleasing our friends.

Because they not only look at, but carry away in great

bundles the pretty things we have provided for

their buying and adornment.

The rush has been so great and we have been kept so

busy that we have not had time to tell you of

any of the special offerings,

But they are here, many of them, all over our store,

the big store.

Come and let us show you the goods and quote prices

that is all we ask, and will be perfectly

satisfied with the results.
