The article that lately appeared in the Indianapolis Sentinel in regard to the blackmailing of a Waynetown merchant by republicans because he was a democrat is a poor way to make political gain as it is not true and injures a locality known for peaceful and law-abiding citizens. The republicans as well as the democrats patronized the merchant that failed and they all regret his loss, and the misfortune is not the fault of any person or persons in the town. Any one that knows the Waynetown people will not give such a talk even a passing thought. But it injures a place away from home and makes a stranger think the people are worse than White Caps in this one best localities in the state of Indiana.

IJentU of S Gal*»y. The startling intelligence was telegraphed here 011 Thursday night of the death of Clarence S. Galey in Chicago by his own hand with a revolver. At tho time of this writing no particulars of the CHUSO of this sad tragedy have been received. Charles N. Williams was dispatched to Chicago and returned 011 Friday night with the remains.

The blow comes with crushing forco on his pareuts and a brother, and the sympathy of a large circle of friends will bo extended to them. Mr. Galey, who was a partner in the REVIEW, sold out his interest in March last and removed to Seattle, Washington territory, but not being satisfied returned to Chicago some four mouths since. Since that time lie had been doing sotno newspaper work in that city but only a few weeks ago invested his means In a paper in the interest of tho barber fraternity of Chicago in conjunction with a gentleman named Davis, and the first issue was to appear to-day. The exact cause of his suicide IB, as stated, not yet known, but is supposed to have been caused by fiuancial troubles of some kind, but of what nature is not known. Clarence was born and raised in Crawfordsville, his parents residiug on east College street. He was in the 25th year of his age. He was a bright, business, youug man, ambitious and energetic, and no one would have supposed for a moment that self destruction would have ever entered his miud or have been eutertaiued.

Chicago papers of yesterday contained complete accounts of the suicide, from which we take the following extracts: "Clarence S. Galey, a boarder at 211 East Ohio street, committed suicide last eveniug at 5:15 o'clock by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. The bullet entered the right temple aud, crashing through, lodged at right angles immediately under the skin on the left side of the head. The suicide was 21 years old, single, and his pareuts reside noar Crawfordsville, Ind. He lived but a few hours after tho fatal shot.

Galey was absent during the entire afternoon, and when he came home none of the inmates is aware of it. It was his custom, however, to enter quietly aud pass up the stairs to his room. This was 011 the second floor front. At about the time the shooting took place, James Kelsey, a fellow-board»»r, heard a souud as if something neavy might havo fallen upon the floor. He proceeded to investigate, aud on pushing the door of Galey's room open discovered it full of smoke. Through it he saw the sole occupant lying 011 his faco on the floor, with his feet toward aud immediately in front of a mirror, as if he had stood before it when tho desperate deed was performed. Under his head had already accumulated a pool of blood and tho weapon lay upon the carpet by liis right hand. The police were notified and a search was made for something that would lead to the cause of tlfe tragedy. On the bureau, under the mirror and bespattered Willi blood, was the following writteu ou a Western Union telegraph blauk: "CHICAGO, III., Jan. 3, 188J1.—To Miss Emma Stearns, 272t5 Dickson St., St. Louis, Mo.: I will send you

Here the writer broke off. On another slip of papor was written the apparent model for a dispatch: "Emma, won't you please send 1110 oue of y—" "ST. LOUIS, MO., Jan. 3.—]Special.]— Miss Einma Stearns was found at No. 2720 Dickson street and shown tho telegram from the Tribuue. She was much agitated aud for a few moments was almost unable to speak, but finally said: "Yes, I know Clarence Galey and have known him for two years. He was from Crawfordsville, Ind., where I first met him." "Do you kuow of any cause for Mr. Galey's action?" "None in the world. Ho was a bright young man." "Miss Stearns, was not Mr. (ialey in Iovo with you?" asked the reporter. Tho young lady hesitated, but finally said: "Yes lie was." "Had he ever made love to you or asked you to marry him?" Yes, several times iu fact, I have refused him often." "Do you suppose this had auything to do with his shootiug himself?" "O, uo, 110," was the quick repl "I am sure it did not." "CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 3.—[Special.]—Miss Emma A. Stearns is a handsome girl about 23 years old. She came here from Indianapolis about three years ago and has worked iu various stores. Her last omployment was in a jewelry establishment." "A dispatch from Crawfordsville, Ind., says: 'Clarence S. Galey was born iu this city 25 years ago. He commenced work on tho newspapers of tho city in the capacity of a reporter at an early age, being for some time on the Journal. Ha afterward, in company with S. M. Coffman, established the Daily News. He sold out his interest therein iu 1S85, aud having won favor with A. P. Luso, of Chicago, was enabled to purchase a half interest in the REVIEW, the democratic organ of Montgomery county, Mr. Luse's brother being the partner. He contiuuod to attend to business hero until about 10 months since, when he sold out aud removed to Seattle, Wash. T., and remaining there but a short time drifted to Chicago. He was a youug man, well liked, stood well and had bright prospects. He was atone time quite a favorite iu society. It is thought here that hard luck had caused him to become despondent aud end it all by taking his own life. The remains will ho brought hero for burial.'

a Sensation.

There was no ono that knew tho parties interested but what was surprised at the report of tho elopement of Wallace Peterman with his sister-in-law, Pearl Freeman, last Friday night. Young Peterman is frisky lad that has beon in the employ of Campbell Bros, dry goods store aud only a shojrt time ago married Miss I'reeman, of Wesley, who was several years bis senior and though a good woman not handsome or attractive but in possession of a neat sum of money which it was thought tho curlyheaded scapegrace was after. All went well aud Peterman attended church with as much grace and seeming piety as auyono until a inouth ago when ho was caught kissing his pretty, 18-year-old sister-in-law, Pearl. As tho story goes they had all been at Wesley ittul on returning homo Mrs. Petermau went to tho stable to put tho horse and buggy away aud ou coining to the house cauglit her husband kissing her sister too familiarly to suit her. A family quarrel occurred and tho pastor was called in to smooth things over which was douo by both the guilty parties declaring that it was but a brotherly and sisterly kiss, but the youug lady was sent to resido with relatives at Wesley.

Tho injured wife packed her household goods and took them to her brother's Lon Freeman, of Wesley, where she will reside. The Freemau family is known far aud wide as one of the most honorable iu the county, prosperous, honest and intelligent, aud the brother and sister have everyone's sympathy iu their grief at the step their sister has taken.

Committee oil Declamation. For the consideration of a declamation contest in tho public schools of Montgomery county the committee appointed by the county superiutendont met in ttio court room on Saturday, Dec. 2fl, 1888, of which tho following is report:

The committee was called to order by C. Y\ Schloppy who was elected permaneut chairman aud A. S. Fraley socretary. The question of exempting graded schools was first discussed and decided that the contest should be open to all schools of the county except.those in Crawfordsville.

Ho Sucked Tliem.

The People's theatre was the scene of a novel entertainment, Wednesday night, on which occasion Prof. Case Arnold, as it was on tho bills but better known to the boys as "Possum'' was to attempt the f-at of swallowing 60 hen's eggs as soon as they could be broken. At 8 o'clock tho Professor appeared on the stage and quite a number entered the bouse, and to say how easily lie performed the tv.sk would almost look untruthful. He not only swallowed tho 00 eggs but swallowed two more for good measure, aud after ho had finished his task with seeming good relish he went to the Store saloon and ate two Boft-boiled eggs, two slices of bread, a large piece of 'possum and drank a cup of coffee. The Prof, is an eater aud there is no ono that doubts it. As soon as he finished tho task he offered to bet that he could eat 00 more and there seemed to bo no one present anxious to bet.

Thr^'« Tlmeri in Court.

The Argus-News published a lottery advertisement and in their paper also published the doings of some Crawfordsville people that it seems took exception to their manner of expressing affairs aud had them arrested. First tho grand jury caught CofTman it Rosebro for.: $35, then a case in Mayor Russell's court and then one iu Justice Chumasero's court, all of which have been considerable expense to the proprietors of that paper. This week tho name of Walter Rosebro disappeared from the firm name at tho head of the paper and a statement made says he has been out of the firm for some time. Tho continued prosecution seems severe and the law was surely vindicated by the first punishment. But tho fight is not ours and we siaud by allowing the "Only" aud the Journal to fight it out.
