The REVIEW last week gave an account of the burglary of Phillips & Templeton's hardware store at Whitlock and as the junior REVIEW and Billy Bonnell were the only strangers in town that night of course we got the benefit of it. We are now vindicated as Thed Tempieton, of the firm, caught one of the evil doers near Jessups, a small station on the I. D. & W., Sunday, and brought him to tins city. Thursday while he was having his trial a young man entered Clias. Eltzroth's second hand store on Green street and seemed anxious to sell a new revolver. Mr. Eltzroth has dealt with many such fellows and ho offered him 50 cents for the gun which was quickly accepted. He then thought he was a crook and innocently said "we buy everything here have you any thing else to sell?" when the youth pulled out of his pockets knives, revolvers and razors. The police were soon notified aud took him in out of the wind and the property was identified by Mr. Tempieton. The mnn arrested at Jessups is a seedy, red-headed, mean-looking fellow and the partner Is not much of an improvement They gave their names as Charles Hall and John Fay and their future address will lie Michigan City, Ind.

on the farm of Jacob Luse, two milos we.slfloC Whit uck, to secure the gravei. Soon attar they began to haul the gravel, bones of humaa beings were found, aud all kinds of rumen were afloat as to who they were, enme partita even saying that it was the burial ground of a gang of robbers who ouce t..llow,!!l their arelation in this country. Farther work cause4 more discoveriee, and tbe mystery ot the tinwas that the bodies had all Deen buried ia a sitting position. It was not long until Bbeleton was found that seemed to be that of a giant, and buried with him was a dog. Htor bones were vefy large and tho fellow moil have been a powerful man. There was also ta the same grave beads, a copper dart, and son* pottery which bad crumbled and broken. Thie cauBed the workmen to think it was au Indian, and upon further investigation it was prove* that it wis au Indian burial ground. There has been over thirty skeletons removed, an* will, In ail probability, be many more found, many of which will be reburled In a better 1»catlon. The skulls are in a fine state of preservation and, with few exceptions, are low ani •how that the unfortunto beings were not wis* men. There cau be no history found as to the location of this burial ground as even the oldest inhabitant does not know of it and has never kenrd of such a place, and as the history «.f the county can easily bo traced back for one hundred years, they must have been buried there ttiat long since. A strange feature of the finding is tbe different depth the bones are la the ground. Some are quite near the surface, others a few feet deeper, and some as much aa twenty feet deep. They were probably the Shawnees, as that tribe inhabited iho northern part of this and Tippecanoe counties. Through the kindness of D. A. Jenkins und Will Hlxsoa the REVIEW has on exhibition at our office a skull of a mau who is supposed to have been a chief, and one of an Indian who is supposed te have been one of the meanest, judging by the shape of his skull. Also quite a number of other boues of interest.

The True Method
Of curing habitu tl constipation, and liver and kidney ills is to avoid the use of the bitter draBtic liver medicines and cathartics, and to take only tho pleasant liquid fruit remedy syrup of figs. It cleauses as well as strengthens the system, and does not leave the bowels costive, so that regular habits may be formed, and the invalid permanently restored to health. It acts promptly and effectively :lt is easily taken, and perfectly harmless. For sale by Nye ft Co.
