One of the most enjoyable social events that has taken place in Waynetown Tor some was the party given at Mr. Herzog's, in honor of his daughter, Miss Kettle's, 21st birthday.

Refreshments were served of which all partook freely.

Juite an exciting affair took place upon our streets last Saturday. Tom Fink and Tom Keys, between whom there has existed a grudge for some tun*, happened to meet trouble at once began, Keys drew a revolver and snapped it, but its railing to go off gave Fitik time to get a rock with which he struck' Keys on the side ot the head inllictiug an ugly wound. KeyH was allowed to peaceably go homo while Fink was arrested. In the trial which was late in the evening, the evidence went to show that lie acted in self defense, which released him.

Waynotown is to have a bank. There lias

been some efforts made to organize a bank hero before but tit no time has there been a more favorable time. There are many reasons why we should have a bank. We need it, we deserve it and we can support it. We need it so we can keep our own money near home and thereby reap the benefit ourselves. We de serve it because our business men are deserving and the men thai will be at the head of It are deserving. We can support it because we are in the ceuter of a wealthy funning community that will contribute largely to its support.

Ladoga wants natural gas taken from the t'rawfordsville mains ten miles north of here. There are no reasons against, us having naturhj gas the coining winter.

-\!r. Wyniau our new grocery man has shipped and sold in the last three weeks over one hundred crates of blackberries picked at Catupbellsburg on the Mouon.

The seals of the New school Presbyteriau church in t'rawfordsville, built by James Thompson in IS JO, were transferred this week, from the church iu Ladoga to the Haw creek church.

We are strongly in fRvor of Clark and Scott townships uniting and keeping a high school iu I^idoga as is provided by law for a free and higher education of those children who go through the common school course of both townships. That is the best thing we cau do.

A very feasible thing is being talked up among our people, it is that the Dunkard church establish a college here. It is claimed that two hundred students can be put iu at its opening. Why not push the enterprise at once as Ladoga has quite a prestigo as nu educational town. If the right men take hold of the enterprise it will succeed.

Two men stole a hand car off the I. B. & W. road, aud came down the Monon, last Saturday moruiug before daylight. They transferred the car to the Midland and went west a few miles. They then came back, left the car off the track at the Franklin street crossing, went down town, got a few drinkB and disappeared. The car was sent to New Ross and handed over to the I. B. fc W. by the Midland agent. Had the geutlemeu been found, they would haye gone over the road, uo doubt, as the papers were made out for thein. Michigan pity is lookiug after a few such chaps.

LINDEN.

Owing to the weather having been so dry and hot. the doctors are busy.

J. Harvey Bowmau came home last week for the lirst time in two weeks.

The com crop Is bound to be short in these parts, owing to he long dry spell. Stephenson .V Johnson have began hauling gravel c.a the west end of the county line gravel road.

The wheat thieshiiig is about ail done in these parts, and the wheat mostly sold and shipped out of the county.

Last Sunday was the hottest diiy of the year the thernioiiietor registering 7S degrees in the shade at o'clock a. 111.

The Allen hoys have sold their I ivery stable aud stock to James Miller, of Sugar Grove. I of

Miller has possesion and is running the tiarn to iut the times. The Allen boys will go into other business.

J. S. Bennett has stated that the hell would ring to call the juvenile Templars together at •1 o'clock p. 111. every Sunday, and if they did not want to hear the hell they would turn out aud reorganize. He is commissioned S. (J. T. iu the order of I. O. G. T. Let the geod work go ou my brother.

Some of the boys that took the obligation 1 the Juvenile Temple have a notion they will not go into the order any more, hut we in tice ihey can chew tobacco equal to any man. Boys, that is the worst thing jou can do: take an obligation with your hand 011 you heart, and then go back on it.

Our band hoys gave an entertainment at Kirkpatrick on last Saturday night and one fellow filled up on corn juice and challenged half of the baud boys to fight to a finish, but they declined. To hear him tell it lie was a musician aud a John L. Sullivan, and, but for the crazy whisky, is a good, clever fellow.

It is now told by some who are supposed to know the reason why tome of the big boys quit attending the Good Templar meeting. They wanted the meetings changed from af* temooiiB to nights so they could gallant some of the larger girls home at late bed time. BoyB if that is all you had 111 view you had as well stay away.

The work of enclosing ttie new chinch build iug has progressed very rapidly within the past few days, and with fair weather that parof it will be completed this week, and when ttie structure is finished it will add very much to the place. The committee missed it, however, in not locating it

CHICAGO. AUjr. 11.- Alfred Downing, N. II. Tollman anil three young womi'ii clerks—occupants of tin- otlice of the "National apital Savings Huilding it Loan Association of North America." room Kookerv building—were arrested Monday afternoon by United States Marshals Hitchcock. Allen and Charles. and the entire epistolary contviits of the place taken t.o the office of United State l)istric AHorn. .Vilchrist. Downing ami Tollman were taken before United States Commissioner lloyne. charged with nsinsrthe l'nited States mails for fraudulent purposes, and placed under I S'-'.Oiio 1,.mi!lor a hearing Thursday, I August "i '1 he three clerks were -. that they were wanted as witnesses at the licaring. Ii is charged that the men who have been conducting this association have swindled thousands of people from every state in the union I and taken in from S'iUO.OOO to SiiiO.OOO, and sriven not one penny in return.

There are still two men at liberty, they having disappeared several weeks ago. These two men. it is believed, got away with most of the funds.

For six months of more letters have been received from all parts of the country protesting that the "National Capital Savings Building & Loan Association of North America" was not what its proprietors represented it to be, and that it was collecting money and making no loans. Inspector Stuart took charge of the matter about four months ago and has worked ever since to make a ease against the officers of the association. He found that the concern was gigantic in its reach and had agents in every state in the union who were disposing of the S'2U, 000,000 of stock the company was selling.

At the time Capt. Stuart took hfeld of the case t'110 head man of the association was Louis F. Mortimer, the general manager and secretary. He seemed to be the responsible man and handled all the cash. Several weoks ago Mortimer and his father disappeared and neither have since been heard from. A short time ago Capt. Stuart sent Inspector Gardner to Lincoln. Neb., where the harvest seemed to be the richest. Here. Mr. Gardner found George O. Ferguson, who represented about sixty people that had been swindled Mr. Ferguson came to Chicago •with Inspector Gardner and the result was the captures made Monday.

After the arrests we*v made Mr. Ferguson explained the modus operandi of the gang that had been fleecing the citizens of his town. "They were represented in our town by Chase Bros.," said Mr. Ferguson, "who acted in good faith. The people of Nebraska are yerv much in favor cjf the building and loiin association plan, and the offers of this concern were snapped up quickly, ltsoldshares for fifty cents each, with a payment of SI 1..05 each month for nine-ty-six months, at the end of which time a Sl,0l)0 loan would be paid for. Then there was a membership fee of SIUI, an appraisement, fee of SiO and .St5 for three months' payment in, advance, thus makinir S'.'5. The concern made one i?."i)0 loan that was genuine, and this was just enough bait to lead others to invest. Hundreds sent their money to Chicago, and

011

the strength

the loan they cxpected to make

contracts for homes and stores were let and building begun, but the money never eiinie."

Inspccto:1 Stuart and District Attorney Milchi'ist went over the association's hooks and found seventeen loans had been made in as many different states. A rough estimate of the amount of money the association received is S 1.70.000 in the year and a half the association has been in existence. The. books of the association show that its agents in all the states but the most active were in Omaha. Denver, lies Moines, Portland, t.alveston, Olympia, San Francisco and Minneapolis. 1'p to within several months ago the association did a big business in Philadelphia, where, however, the authorities got after the manager and drove him away. President

Downing and Vice President Tallman admitted after their arrest that enormous sums had been taken in, but they said that they had not ever been "in it." We took in something over $80,000 that I know of," said President Downing, "but 1 never got more, than a poor salary out of it. and Tallman didn't get as much as I did." "They got badly bitten both of them," said Inspector Stuart, "but they were in the deal and knew all about what was going on. though they didn't get much. Mortimer got the bulk Q'-! the. money, and I haven't the least doubt he got away with $ I'd), 000. Mortimer is a. clever talker and a. smooth man generally, and would convince almost anyone that talked five minutes with him that he was the squarcst business man on earth."

One of the peculiar features of the case is the indorsement- of the scheme by the llradstrect and Dun agencies. The officers of both agencies examined the association and its affairs, but the evidences of prosperity were so great that the agents made favorable reports. Indiana. Kentucky. Ohio, Pennsylvania. New York and the southern states were worked, but the bulk of the victims live in the states west of the Mississippi.

GREAT SUFFERING.

Tlir Drought Hits Cuuseil a Shortlist of All Kinds of Crops Alone the Kio (irunde.

CITY OK MKXICO, Aug. 11.—Those who have lived twenty-five years on the l\ic Grande have never seen so much misery among the Mexican population as this year. The staple crop of the Rio Grande valley is corn and the Mexican frijole. but the drought has been so terrible for the last eighteen months that scarcely anything has been raised, and stock -has died by thousands. Many men who two years ago •were considered well off have nothing left but their lands. Hundreds of laboring men have left the frontier counties and are finding work north of the Nueces river. It the drought continues until the cold northers come on there will be but little cattle to live through the winter and many families will suffer for the necessaries of life.

The drought is confined to a few conn-

extends far into old

ties Texas, but Mexico.

There's a good deal of guarantee business in the store keeping of to-day. It's too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half the time it means nothing. Words only words.

This offer to refund the money, or to pay a reward, is made under the hope that you won't want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course.

So, whoever is honest in making it, and works—not on I his own reputation alone, but

through the lwcal dealer whom

you know, must have something he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn't stand a year without it.
