IVjtfveit Examination.

Indianapolis Jmirmtl: Ed Holloway, who is accused of wrecking the train at Fontanel and who recauted his alleged confessions, to-day waived a preliminary examination and his case will go before the grand jury. The defense lawyers say .they can prove beyond doubt that Holloway was not at Fontanel at the time of the wreck, aud that after the miners drove him from the freight train which arrived there at it p. m. that night, and on which he was making his first trip as a nonunion biakeman, he was seen by a half dozen persons as he walked to Rockville. fourteen miles away. Holloway says that with the excitement and danger he was in at Fontanel, followed by liis arrest and talk of detective Grady, of the Big Four, he didn't know what he was saying when he made the confession.

lJebs' Three-Story House.

Hon. M. I). White, while in Terre Haute, saw the fallen labor leader, Debs, and also saw his house of elegant proportions, three stories high. Mr. White said that Mrs. Debs was heard to say: "My husband gets but S3,500 a year salary, when he ought to have 8-0,000. It is said that when the Democratic part}- of the eighth district was hunting for a candidate in the place of Lamb, they tried to induce the same Debs to run, but could not and they then selected Brookshire. If Debs had run Brookshire never would have been heard of.

The Fight at Garfield.

The trial of Ira and Homer Flanigan for taking part in the fight between Willis Flanigan and A1 Smith, near Garfield a month ago, was on trial before Justice Overton to-day. It seems that these two brothers went to the rescue of their brother, and they claimed to be acting merely as peacemakers in doing" what they did. There were several witnesses examined and the attorneys ably presented the case to the court. At the conclusion of the argument, the Justice found Ira Flftnnigan not guilty, and the charge against Homer Flannigan was dis. missed.

GOOD WORDS FOR FARIS.

The Attica l.rtlgcv Tlilukn Me OURIU to be Nominated fur Congress.

The Attica Lcilyrr this week has the following editorial favoring- George W. Karis, of Terre Haute, as the Ke­

Notwithstanding the opposition in his own party, Hon. E. V. llrookshire is a,ain the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Sth district. However cautious and conservative Mr. lirookshire's course may have been, there is 110 disguising the fact that there are men in his own party, some of tlieui leaders, who desire his defeat. Whether this opposition comes from personal or political feeling matters not to Republicans. Their duty is to take advantage of the situation and use it for the election of a Republican. This does not mean that any Republican can be elected. On the contrary, it means that more than usual precaution must be taken in the selection of a candidate. This is a Democratic district and notwithstanding all circumstances point to Republican victory, it will not do to become over-confident or Neglect the opportunity offered by the renomination of Mr. llrookshire. All personal preference should be sacrificed and careful, clear-headed judgment used in making a selection that will insure success. We take it that all Republicans will readily admit that their candidate should be a man of strong personal character, one who combines the qualities of a stumper aud a good mixer, and one who can make an aggressive campaign and whose abilities will insure a creditable representation in Congress. And. besides all these qualifications, the nominee must be one whose record is unassailable, whose personal or political past will need no defense. He must be one who can start out with his party's solid and enthusiastic support and whose record and ability will command the support of the disaffected opponents.

With all due respect to the various gentlemen who are named for the position and with the statement that it can heartily support any one of them who may be named the Lcihjer believes that the peculiar conditions in this district point to Hon. George W. Ft as the available man. He combines all the necessary qualification, he is young and vigorous, clear-headed, a tireless worker, possessed of considerable personal magnetism and without a stain upon his personal or political record. He has all the elements to insure success and the canvass he would make would be such an one as was never made in the Sth district. In his nomination there would be no defense to make. 110 risk taken, and victory would be guaranteed.

KOICMAL ITEMS.

The ball team has begun systematic practice. The school still increases in numbers and interest.

Since Saturday's questions were seen there has been a rush toward the geography class.

Supt. Zuck was not able to meet the class in arithmetic yesterday. Saturday was a hard day for liiin.

Nicholson Brothers, the photographers, will make a picture of the school soon. If you are a member of the school be there.

The class in English is listening to the reading of a series of interesting papers prepared on topics in Julius Csesar, b3' members of the class.

The class in Methods has for two da3'S grappled with the problem, '"What is the object of education?'' Some one hinted that it was the formation of character.

Suit to Abate a Niiinnnce.

The case against B. L. Ortibaun for keeping a nuisance within the city limits is on trial to-day before the Mayor. It will be hotly contested.and many witnesses are being examined. It is claimed that he kept hogs and cattle in a lot back of his house, and that the smell arising from the lot was detrimental to the peace and health of the neighborhood. The case is still on trial.

LAUDANUM FIENDS.

Ho*v Tli«*y Sehewn to Obtain Their Favorlte "Will you fill that bottle one-third full of sweet oil. the other two-thirds with laudanum?" This was the request that the Gleaner of the St. Louis Republic heard as he was standing at the counter of a well-known drug store. Turning around to get a glimpse of the author of the request, he saw a young fellow about twenty-two. well-built, with a florid complexiou, sleepy-looking gray eyes, a smooth face with a pleasant but dissipated cast of countenance. "\Vhat did he want with oil and laudanum mixed?" asked the Gleaner, out of pure curiosity, after the young fellow had left the store. "To drink, I suppose," answered the clerk. "He comes often enough for the sickoning stuff." "How does he manftge the oil in sueh quantities?" "Of course, he pours the oil off and drinks the laudanum, but I can't sell him laudanum alone aud he got some doctor to give him a prescription for the two mixed, and they don't mix separate, so that he can pour the one from the other. He used to aome for it once a week, then twice, and now he comes every day, and I expect that all his salary goes that way, for the landanum drunkard spends more money often than t)ie whisky toper."

ELECTIONS IN GREECE.

with

Held on Sunday in the Churches Box for Kach Candidate. "In Greece," says an American, "elections are held In churches on Sunday. Jn the church to which I succeeded in gaining access on one election day there were ranged around the wail forty-two boxes, that being the number of candidates to be voted for. These boxes were about the size and shape of a cracker box, ono-half paited white, with 'Yes' on them, and the other half black, with 'No' on them. Beside eaeh box stood a representative of the candidate and over the box was hung the candidate's picture. Each voter as he entered the church had his name registered and a check given him. In passing around the church the voter Is given a ballot, or vote, by tlje representative standing beside the bos of each candidate. Negative votes, as well as affirmative, must lie cast—that is, if a voter objects to 0 candidate he must cast a negative builfct. Great earo Is exercised by the representatives of the candidates that there is no stuf. flng of the ballot boxes.

OFF FOR A QUIET TIME.

Dtur.v of a Man Sent to 1.oii«somehur*t by ltl» Ptiyslclun. "Mr. Akenhead,'" said the eminent specialist on nervous disorders, severely. to the Puelt man, "it Is useless for you to expect to derive benefit from my treatment unless you consent to follow my directions. I recommended you to go to tlio quiet hamlet of Louesomehurst and spend at least six months In strict retirement, and yet I find you back in the turmoil and excitement of the city in less than four weeks." "The trouble, dictor," replied the patient, "is that the monotony of a quiet, uneventful country existence Is more than I can endure. In this short time we have had fourteen different cooks, one of whom was discharged for setting tire to the house while intoxicated, another for assaulting mo with a frying pan and a third for poisoning us, whether accidentally or maliciously I do not know. I have been mixed up in four different runaway accidents and twice bitten by dogs. Because of my kindness of heart I was drawn into an elopement episode which resulted at my being shot at and narrowly missed by the bride's father, who claimed that he was near-sighted and mistook uie for the bridegroom. One night somebody hanged a total stranger to a tree on the lawn. About the same time a tramp burned the barn and several outbuildings. A large tree was blown down so near the house that the piazza roof was crushed in. I was arrested three time for unknowingly violating somo of the rural laws. My wife's mother was thrown from a carriage in front of the houso and fatally injured. There was a smallpox scare in the neighborhood about half the time and a mad-dog fright every now and then. Taking it all in all, I finally concluded that the turmoil and excitement of city life was less enervating than the peace and quiet of a monotonous country existence."

WINE TANKS IN FRANCE.

All tho Country Needs Is Flpc to the Coast. The railway tank is introduced in France for the conveyance and distribution of wino from the vineyards after the manner in which petroleumm has in this country been conveyed from the wells to market, says the New York Tribune. The vintagers would be lucky if they could likewise adopt a system of pipe lines as the oil producers have done, and so diffuse their cheering product with the maximum of celerity and at a minimum of cost. A network of pipes spreading under the soil from the Pyrenees to the British chancel, running full with tho crimson tide of St. Emilion, Ilaut Barsac, Hermitage and Cliambertln, Jwitli spurts and gurgitations of the commoner mixtures, according to the fluctuations of domand, would be a subterranean development of extraordinry interest, and would be almost certain to be tapped by tho thirsty here and there but it is not likely to come about, and the railway tank represents what is probably the final reach of economy in distribution. The vinegrower gets little for his product, the profits being consumed by the middlemen, who take tribute from it at every step, from the time it trickles out of the press till it goes down the throat of its consumer and the industry, which Is one of the most important in France, is reaching out here and there for remedies. Wine at the press is now sold at eight cents a quart. Last year the production was so abundant that the ordinary storage receptacles were unequal to it, and anybody who would bring barrels might carry away the overplus free. Such an abounding harvest is rare, but it comes now and then, and in such cases the railway tanks will be a godsend, as they will doubtless be useful in all times to the normal movements and operations of the trade.

A CHINESE MUSICAL LEGEND.

Eight Primitive Sounds Hidden by the Creator for Man to Find Out, The Chinese have some extraordinary superstitions relating to music. According to their queer notions the Creator of the universe hid eight sounds in the earth for the express purpose of compelling man to find them out, says the St. Louis Republic. On the same principle, it is presumed, Jupiter, according to Virgil, hides fire in flints and honey in trees in order to whet the ardor of man's industry to persevere in his efforts to rediscover the hidden treasures.

According to the celestrial idea the eight primitive sounds are hidden in stones, silks, woods of various kinds, the bamboo plant, pumpkins, in the skins of animals, in certain earths and in the air Itself. Any one who has ever had the pleasure of seeing and listening to a Chinese orchestra, will remember that their musical instruments were made of all these materials except the last, and that the combined efforts of the other seven seemed better calculated to drive the ethereal sound away than to coax it from the air, which is really the object of all Chinese musical efforts. When the band plays the navie credulity of the people, both old and young, hears in the thuds of the gongs and the whistling of the pipes the tones of the eternal souudsof nature that were originally deposited in the various animate and inanimate objects by the all-wise Father.

A NEW WRINKLE.

The Cowboy Was Not Posted on Modern Conveniences. A cowboy up from the Texas panhandle was a guest at the house and as the clcrk who attended to him is still in Denver, we will allow him to tell the story in his own way, says the Denver Field and Farm. "He had on storo clothes and a red necktie, and what ho didn't know wasn't worth knowing. When he started up to his room at night, I told him there was a folding bed in it, and, if he wished, the bellboy would show him how It worked. But not much he didn't want to be shown anything. He knew a thing or two about the city, he did, even if he did live down on the range. "So I let him go, and next morning he paid his bill without a word and went away. About noon I happened to lie on that floor, and a chambermaid called me to take a look in his room.

And what a sight met my eyes! Tho bottom drawer of the bureau was pulled out us far as it would come, and in it were all the rugs in the room, with a towel spread over one end of a pillow. Evidently he had tried to sjeep there, for pinned up on the glass was a sarcastic little legend reading: 'Gol dern yore folding beds. Why don't you make 'em longer and put more klvvers onto um? Mebbe you expect a man to stand up and sleep in your durned old cubberd.' The durned old eubberd was one of our be folding beds."

Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is that while it purifies the blood aiid sends it coursing through the veins full of richness and health, it also imparts new life and vigor to every function of the body. Hence the expression so often heard: "Hood's Sarsaparilla made a new person of me." It overcomes that tired feeling so common now.

'MANDY JANE PENSTOCK.

A Tale of Love and Love Charms in Pennsylvania.

One time wheu I was up In Pennsylvania Hemlock belt 1 was going from Overman's Hook to the Barley Run Cross Forks when I heard some one whistle off to one side of the road. Looking in that direction I saw a man peering cautiously from behind a big hemlock tree. He motioned ft"- me to stop, and I did. "Say," said the man in a suppressed voice, "kin ye see fur behind ye, down the road?"

The road was straight behind me for a mile, and I could see that far, I told the man. "As nigh as ye kin make out, tlia' hain't nothln' that looks like a tall woman in a red calllker dress an' a green sunbonnet nowheres betwixt you an' as fur as ye kin see, is tha?" asked the man. "No," said I, "there isn't." "Ye hain't color blind, bo ye?"

I wasn't. "Then 'a woman In a red calliker dress an' a green sun bonnet wouldn't be liable to look to you like one hi a yaller dress an' a blue sun bonnet, would she?"

She wouldn't. "Tha hain't no raisin' o' dust nowheres that looks as if it mowt be riz by a woman in a red calliker dress an' a green sun bonnet comin' this way pooty fast, is tha?"

The road was entirely free from anything of that sort. "Ye hain't noways nigli-slglited, be ye?"

Quite the contrary. "Then if tha was a raisin' o' dust setch as that, not more'u a hundred yards down the road, ye wouldn't be liable to take it fer a haystack a mile away, would ve?"

Entirely out of the question. The man came out from behind the tree, aud with a big sigh of relief sat down oil a stump. "'Cause, ye see I'm aleetleanxious," he said, "fer if ye'd seen a woman with a red calliker dress and a green sunbonnet comin', or a-raisin' o' dust that looked as if it mowt be riz by a woman with a red calliker dress and a green sunbonnet, that'd a ben 'Mandy Jane Penstock, an' I'd a had to take to the woods." "What's the matter with 'Mandy Jane?" I asked.

The man mopped his face with his sleeve aud fanned himself with his hat aud said: "Did ye ever have have a hankerin' fer a gal that didn't seem to keer to hanker fer ye?" 1 didn't know that I ever had. "Jis' keep yer eye on the road, Cap," said the man, "an1 if ye see any of them signs o' Mandy Jane jis whistle, will ye?"

I said I would. "Then I'll tell ye sumpin'. If ever ye take a shine to a gal an' she won't hanker, take a hoot owl's gizzard, dry it, an' grind it inter a powder. Then, unbeknownst to the gal, git some of It in her lemonade or sumpin' 'fore she drinks it, an' ye've jist as good as made four shillin' for the squire, for she can't never say 'No' agin when ye aat her if she'll be yourn. Tha' halq't no red an' geeen loomin' up ylt twlxt you Bn' the horizon, nor no shakin' o' dust that mowt have red an' green inside of it, Is tha?" "Not yet." "If ye'd ever know'd Sallie Magompers, over to the Hook, ye'd a hankered, I'll bet yel I took to hankerin' fer Sallie more'n a year ago, but tha didn't seem to be no use. Sallie's jestturnin' twenty, now, and mebbe she hain't a caution fer pootlness! Pictur's hain't nowheres 'longside o' her. But somehow she fit

Bhy

o' me. So one day I

says to myself! 'All right, my ladyl If it's got to be left to hoot-owls,' I says, "hoot-owls it'll be,' an' I went a gunnln' fer lioot-owls. But hoot-owls hain't so durn thick in these here woods, an' I gunned, an' I gunned fer pooty nigh a year 'fore I draw'd bead on one, an' you bet I was more'n tickled when I tumbled him offeu his roostl 'Gals that kin hanker an' won't hanker must be made to hanker!' I says, an' I hung the hoot-owl's gizzard up to dry. "One o' these days, when I hear that 'Mandy Jane Penstock has passed over .Turdan, I'm goin' back to the Hook an' jest as like as not thump the life outen Sam Brazee. Sain an' mo worked on the same loggln' job, an' after I bagged the owl 1 says to him one day: ^Sam,' I says, 'me an' you won't bunk in together much longer,' I says. 'How's that?' says Sam. 'I'm goin'ter marry Sallie Magoinpers next week,' I says. 'No!' says Sam, 'Sallie's give in, has she?' 'Not yit,' I says, 'but|she's goin' ter.

I've powdered a hoot-owl's gizzard,' I says. is' shoot yer eye down the road agin, Cap. If tlia's anything mussln'

of it up that mowt put ye in mind o' the inklin' I've giv ye o' 'Mandy Jane, gimme the wink an' I'll scoot."

The road was still clear. "Sam looked s'prised a little when 1 told him 'bout havin' the owl's gizzard love powder, an' pooty soon he says: "'Well,'he says,'I'm goin'ter take Sallie to the picnic to-morrow, an' I s'pose that'll be the last timo I kin gullavant her anywheres, 'cordin' to that,' he says. 'That's what it will, Sammy!" I says.

Mandy Jane Penstock mowt a ben stunner when she was a gal, fer all I know, but I don't Jis' recomember when that was. She'll hef to think back a good ways if she recomembers it herself. But, leavin' out bone an' sinner, an' a pooty sharp nose, 'Mandy Jane don't cut much of a flgger nowadays. She's consid'able sot in her ways, though, an' when she has sumpin' on her mind that she's goin'ter do she'p goin'ter do it or things'll rumble. "Sam Brazee he took Sallie tot the picnic an' I was there with my ityotpwl's gizzard all ready. Sallie kittened consjda'ble to Sam, an' it made me squirm to see her, I tell ye, but I Wl kjE»eUj 'ALLlight, tnj ]ftdyl'

saja. 'Hut wait till the hoot-owl siu^s to ye!' I says. Bimeby I says to Sam an' Sallie: 'Come over an' I'll treat ye,' I says. 'Come git some lemonade,' I says. "An' they come along, an' I bought the lemonade, an' when Sallie wasn't lookin' I tumbled the owl's gizzard love powder inter her glass. "'Oh!' she says. 'Yonder's 'Mandy Jane Penstock!' she Bays. "Mandy must have a treat, tool' she says. "So she calls'Mandy Jane over, an' I orders a glass fer her. Now see what what Sallie done. She hands the glass that had the owl's gizzard in it over to 'Mandy Jane herself, an' 'fore I could stop her, 'Mandy Jane had gulped it down, love powder an' all! You're sure ye hain't color blind, Oap?" "Positive." "Nor nigh-sighted?" "Not a bit" "Ye don't see no more colors on the lan'sca^e, yet, than ye'd natur'ly 'spect orto be there, do ye?" "No." "An' the dust hain't actin' in a way that mowt fool ye into thinkin' it was only a hurricane a-comln'?" "No." "It'll go hard with Sam Iirazee if it ever gits safe fer me to go back to the Hook ag'iu! Soon as I see 'Mandy Jane gulp that lemonade an' owl's gizzard I give one cold shake an' started fer home to pack my trunk. This was only yisterday. Wlieu I came out ag'in there was 'Mandy Jane. 'Asa,' says she, 'arter all these years,' says she, 'an' to think that vou'm to be the one,' says she. 'I'll be ready to-morrow,' says she, 'an' me an' you'll go to the squire's. To-mor-row at half-past nine!' says she. "Say, Cap! 1 tumbled back in the house an' slammed the door an' went upstairs an' hid under the bed. Early this mornin' I orawled out an' snuck outen the house an' jist laid myself out an' dug fer liberty. As 1 raised the hill I turned an' looked back. There was 'Mandy Jane comin' on my trail like the woods afire! She's.eomin' yit! She's only stopped fer wind. Has she hove in sight yit?" "Not yet." "Then I'll take to the woodB an' mebbe won't 6ee no t'baeker for a month, Cap, unless you gimme that plug o' your'n an' when 'Mandy Jane ketches up with ye if ye'Il only Jist tell her—"

But I hadn't time to wait to hear what I was to tell 'Mandy Jane and drove on toward Barley Run Cross Forks. —N. Y. Sun.

OPEN TO ENGAGEMENT.

A Horrible Eumple of the Effect, of Idleness. "Mister," said the greasy wayfarer at the back door, plaintively, "can't you do somethin' fur a pore man?" "My friend," replied the man of the house, "I am a poor man myself." "I don't s'pose you know what It is to go all over the country huntin' work?" "No." "The trouble with me," said the pilgrim, wiping his perspiring brow with the remains of what had onoe been a handkerchief, "is nerves. I can't do heavy work. If you was to ask me to hoe in the garden to pay fur my brealtfus' I couldn't do it. I won't deceive you, mister. I just couldn't do It. But I'm willin' to do light work. I won't stand back fur no man alive when It oomes to light work. An' If you've got any easy job that I can do comfortable like, so as to stimulate my appetite 'thout weak'nin' my nerves—"

"I have told you, my friend," interrupted the man of the liouBe, "that I am a poor man. I sympathize with you, but I am not able to do anything to help you, and I certainly don't know of any light work you could do. I am a lecturer and I make only a bare living." "Would you mind tellln' me what you lecture about?" "No. The subject of the lecture I am delivering this season Is 'The Industrial Crisis.'" "Mister," said the caller, eagerly, "don't you want a feller to travel with you as a horrible example of the effects of idleness?"—Chlcatro Tribune.

Hammer Complaint.

Last fall I was taken with a kind of summer complaint, accompanied with a wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my wife's sister, who lives jwitli us, was taken in the same way. We used almost everything without benefit. Then said, let us try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which we did, and that cured us right away I think much of it, as it did for me what it was recommended to do.
