•a-rxwr.# FARMERS,
DON'T be deceived by Scalpers and Track Jampers when you briig grain to town. They will tell you they are paving more than any dealer in town when in tact you can always realize more for your load of grain at the EIG 4 ELEVATOR. DON'T Exchange your "Wheat for lew grades ol' Flour put up under a Fictitious
Brand whan I 11 give you more of the Celebrated O. K. Flour f«r one bu. of wheat than any house in the city.
I, DON'T
Buy an inferior mixed feed conipo^ad Screenings, Meal, Bran and Oat Hulls when you can buy pure mill feed at my feed rooms at same price.
DON'T
Take yonr feed grinding: to second hand mills when 1 will do your grinding: at same price and on the best feed and French Burr mill in the city.
DON'TI DON'T! DON'TI
Forget that it will always pay you t» trade with an honest, responsible lirm where yo* recaive honest prices, honest weights and good treatment and where reputation is not in jeopardy, consequently not at stake.

MINERS GOING TO WORK.
Bad oT ttin Mriko in Sight—Two Mines at Brazil, Irni., Kentinie Work nu the Old Term*.
BRAZIL, Ind., Dec. 17.—Nos. 8 and 19 mines will t-csame operations to-day. A. committcc of miners called on the Brazil Block Coal Compauy and asked for work at. the old price. The Sherburne Coal Company acceded to the miners' demands Euad resumed work Wednesday morning. The company only operates one mine, which is almost exhausted. It is claimed that this mine will bo worked out in a few months and the owners thought it advisable to pay the advance and work a fall force of men, with an eye to closing down tho mine permanently at the earliest opportunity. It will give employment to from fifty to seventyfive men. A report reached here Wednesday that Woodruff, Urownlee A Wilton have closed down their mine at Carbon. The ca\jse is attributed to their inability to find a market for their ooaL As the weather is pleasant the domestic trade is light and the Chicago markets are flooded with Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky coal. By the closing dtfwn of this mine '300 miners are thrown out of employment. No remittance has been received by the miners from their association, which leaves hundreds of families on tho verge of starvation. The miners' officials admit that unless assistance is soon secured the miners will be forced to work or starve. Matters are becoming alarming and rumors are numerous to the effect that quite a number of miners will return to work to-day. If this l»e true the strike is virtuallv ended.

"While the Lamp Holdi Out to Burn" eto. lho rate of taxation in Union township last year was $1.65 on the hundred dollars, and now it is about $1.08. Tho per cent, for county roTenue was reduced from 40 cents to 25 cents orer tho entire county. -Flic total rate of taxation is also lower in each township.- -Journal.
What a frank and noble admission. For six months the Journal kept up a constant bombardment about the inefficacies of the new tax law. how tax-pay-ers would wake up on Christinas morning to find mortgages in their stockings, how the law would act as a leech to suck the life's blood from the poor, and a lot more senseless of twaddle of alike nature. The new law has proved such a blessing that even its most radical opponents are forced to all on their knees and worship at ita shrine.

A Demur In the Soup Eating Horse Case.
Last Thursday morning tho defense in the case of Joshua McKinsey rs. The Crawfordsville Journal, for slander, entered a demur. Judge Harney sized tho matter up pretty thoroughly and then in a very sedato manner delivered himself as follows: "Gentlemen, I hold tho article appearing in the Journal not libelous for theso reasons: It contained neither wit, humor, pathos, ridicule, logic or sense, but simply showed tho reporter to be bankrupt for news and wrote the article Bimplv to fill up the papar." Thus ends the celebrated soup ating horse case.
It Is Not True.
It is not true that the New Mouon haa submitted a proposition to the people of Lafayette to remove its shops from Now Albany to that city. Neither has a petition been presented *o the county commissioners, asking that body to assess a tax to raise the necessary money consid eration. A number of Lafayette real estate men have been in negotiation, however, with the officials of tho rail road company, with a view to securing the shops, but no definite conclusion has vet been reached.

Tilman Easley. the New Market poultryman, had on exhibition at the poultry show this week a fine collection of bronze turkeys, among which was his prize winning gobbler, weight 31 pounds, which has never been beaten. He also thibited three other yearling specimens whose combined woight was pounds.
A young fellow giving the name Harl Ellis, of Clark township, came near getting into serious difficulty last Sunday by telling the uninitiated in the Black Hills that the crisp bank notes issued by tho Ladoga business College, and which he was dividing among the gang with a lavish hand, was the genuine article. The case was reported to the police, and the young fellow taken into custody. He was softn released however and sent home.
From the amount of teams seen at tho Darter elevator he must be getting all the grain in the county.

GOMPERS ON LABOR.
Bra WING HAM, Ala., Dec. 18.—President Gompers, of the American Federatioa of Labor, in his annual report, reviews the growth of the organization. lie set forth the history of the eight-hour movement which had been proposed to be put in effect by the miners the first day of last May, and expressed his chagrin at tho failure of the movement. He impressed upon them the importance of the movement and cited many instances where it had been a local success. The report reoom mended tho election of a delegation to visit the trades union congress of Groat Britain and the trades union congress of Germany to be held in 1893 and other labor conventions. He recommended holding an international labor congress in Chicago in September, 1892, or in
May, 1893. He recommended the per-
sonal visitations of a representative of
the American Federation
to all parts of
the world in order to insure full repre-
mentation at the Chicago convention. He opposed political action as a body, and urged national legislation making the first Monday in September, Labor day, ol legal holiday in the territories as it is in most of the states.
Important Topics Diacusaetl. Mr. Gompers criticises the employment of convicts in the mining regions, dwells on unfair immigration, denies that the federation as a whole has taken political action, deplores the condition of woman labor owing to lack of organization and condemns child labor. He says '270,000 organized workingmen have signed a petition favoring woman suffrage, condemns recent attacks on free speech and assemblage, recommends closer affiliation of labor organisations, favors a permanent census bureau and says the several state bureaus of labor statistics should be more intimately associated with the one at
Washington. Free Astriemblage find Free Speed). The recent alleged anarchist troubles in Chicago are treated as follows: "Within the lust few years there has been a direct purpose and what appears to be

understanding among tho authorities of our severul state und municipal otllcors to violate one of the fundamental principles and rights guaranteed to the people. The ri^hl of free assemblage and rreo epeech has been won at the sacrifice of thousands of lives and of fortunes untold. Yet the right of free speech and free assemblage Is as muoh in questun to-day as it was centuries ago. Wo may have little if any sympathy with the expression of those who are opposed to our system of government, or we may be their outspoken antagonists, hut we should at all times maintain the constitutional rights of the people, of free speech and tree assemblage. It requires but a stretch of authority to interfere and break up the meetings of our unions as was recently tho case with the painters' union of
Chicago, and still others reported to us." TKLK(iK,\ I'll KKS CO OUT.

The conductors, engineers, liremen and brakeinen of the brotherhood lodges are in sympathy with the dispatchers and operators, and should they agree to stand by the telegraphers the strike will be stupendous and iinanciall.v disastrous. The claim is that the ofiieials of the Atlantic it Pacific anticipate the issuance of an order similar to that which caused the Southern Pacific strike. Assistant (Jrand Chief liamsey has telegraphed the men there to return to work in case the officials agree not to issue an order boycotting the order of telegraphers.

wreck occurred '2 miles east of this city Wednesday morning on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago road. It was the west-bound Columbian express that suffered.

Si'tMies ut the Wreek.
The scene of ^he wreck was a.terrible one as it w*as presented to the relief committee which went down at once by special train. Injured persons could be seen on all sides, some lying unconscious on the ground, others running about and crying for friends. Many of those who were hurt did not realize their condition and refused to Allow the physicians to treat them.
The sleeping car Arden lay on its side in the ditch. The sleeper Delphos was upright, but badly wrecked, and the dining car was in a similar condition. Into the front end of the dining car was wedged freight engine No. 107, which was standing on the side track.
How Death Cume.
In the front end of the dining car the cooks were busy getting breakfast when the crash came. L. 11. Augustus and II. J. Manuel were in the kitchen at work. Manuel was caught by the locomotive and wedged between the boiler and some, timbers and was instantly killed, his body being badly burned. Augustus was also buried in the wreck between the car and locomotive and horribly smashed. He was not rescued for over an hour and died soon after. The fireman. P. .1.
