Mr. Baldwin Must Pay.
The case of Wm. Threldkill vs. A.J. Baldwin, which went on a change of venue from the Montgomery circuit court to the Clinton circuit court and thenco to the Appelate court, has been finally decided against Mr. Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin bought a stallion in Kentucky and paid for it with the note of a third porsoti, for $G00, which tured out to be bogus. Treldkill sued for the price of the horse and received judgment, and the Apellate court now decides that Baldwin must pay the judgment. The court says: If the facts found by the court do not determine an issue raised by an answdr in favor of the plaintiff he fails in his plea on ap peal. 2. The indorser of a note warrants its genuineness and the ability of the maker to pay.. If the makor is a non-resident at the time of the maturity of the note suit need not be brought against the maker before suing the indorser. Jl. The court has a right to deduce from the act of destruction after tho commencement of an action the inference of a fraudulent design to do away with the letters destroyed, and the exclusion of testimony as to their contents was proper.—Journal.

John Johnson's Trouble in (Jlay.
John Johnson, of this city, is having a great deal of trouble in Clay county over the gravel road ho has just finished down there. Commenting ou the matter the Brazil Times says: "Last Saturday was a busy day at tho court house and the commissioners were kept busy answering questions. This was tho day that the commissioners were expected to receive and settle for tho gravel road just completed, and many men were present to get money duo them from the contractor. In fact some of them were afraid thoy would not get their money and wore clamoring for it. After consulting all day, the commissioners finally agreed to give a check for $1,500 to Mr. Johnson, the contractor, but it was to be placed in C. C. Matson's care, and Mr. Johnson was to settle with his men and give a chock on Matson and after the men were all settled with, Matson was to give Johnson tho remainder. This seemed to satisfy the men and peace was restored. The commissioners are being faulted by some, as will appear in a communication in another part of this paper, and even threats are being made to bring suit, if tho road is accepted."
Tho card referred to reads ^s follows "It is said that tho gravel road west of the city will bo deceived, and I do not see how it can be without some ono— you can guess who—committing perjury, and if he does woo be unto him, for tho injured tax payers will go to the end of tho law for justice. Now this is pretty plain talk but the time has come for such language, and I have formed theso conclusions after looking over said road and comparing it with profile and specifications, aud carefully looking over the law regarding said work, I Bee no way to receive said road only through fatee report. Call it what you may.

Among the Hitrh Sailers.
The upper tens were some-what startled this week by the filing of a divorce suit in the eircuit court by Mrs. Henry Campbell against her husband. The complaint has not as yet been made made public hence on what grounds the suit is based we are unable to state. It is said that Mr. Campbell will not contest but rather assist his wife in securing a divorce. Mrs. Campbell has been with her parents in Springfield, Mo., for the past six months and only returned this week to file her suit.
The Oomrtney Divorce Uase The cane of Thomas Courtney vs. Rebecca Courtney, for divorce, occupied the attention of the court on Saturday and Monday. Between forty and fifty witnesses were examined and the case was hotly contested. Somo of the evidence was racy, shamefully so, but it ailed to bring a bluBh to the cheek of either of the contestants. This same couple, who live near Waynetown, were divorced a little over a year ago. They were not apart long however until they kissed, made up and were tnurried. Courtney, who is quite old, alleged brutal treatment. At a hearing of the case Thursday Courtney was granted a divorce but by the decree must pay his ex-wife $1000 alimony.

FREE TRADE OR PROTECTION
Sir John Thompson Declare! Unrestricted Heilproclly to lie Impracticable. BERI.IJT, Ont, Sept. T!7.—Sir John Thompson opened the campaign for the government at a big mass meeting last night. The issue, he Baid, was free trade or protection. Unrestricted reciprocity was utterly impracticable as far as Canada was concerned, he said. It would subject Canada's industries to the competition of the United States and undo what Canada had been endeavoring to build up for fifteen years. The speaker announced that an intimation had been conveyed to Washington that if the party in power there desired to promote freer trade, Canada would not be found deaf to such a proposal. A reciprocity treaty was, however, he said, not popular with the democratic party.
A QEORQIA STORY.
Sevan Hungry Men and Their Lanah at a Barbecue. At a recent barbecue in Southwest Qeorgia seven strange and hungrylooking men were seen huddled together in a corner of the woods remote from the big crowd.
But now and then, while the "carcasses" were roasting in the pits, one of the men would come forward, get a wfciil of the savory meats and return to his disconsolate companions.
No one seemed to know the men— they were strangers to all, and yet they had the appearance of farmers who had raised a big crop of cottoa at •be cents.
Eut everybody knew them after the horn blew for dinner. With a mad rush those hungry-look-ing men made for the table and with wild eyes and open mouths they went to work.
Shoulder after shoulder of beef disappeared, tho men devouring everything in sight.
The crowd stood amazed and forgot that it was hungry, too. Those seven tank men were the attraction, and it was not until they could oat no more, and had crawled off to rest—or die, that the people remembered where they were—and that they had appetites.
The chief of the barbecue approached the men, and in a faint voice asked: "Where did you fellers come from, and when did you eat before you ptruck this neighborhood?"
One of the men answered: "We come from this county, but we've been a-hidin' an' hungry. We jes' heard that the war was over, arf that Sherman was givin' out rations, an' so we thought we'd git some!"
Tho chief of the barbacue fainted, md they carried him from the field more dead than alive.
AN INDIAN'S REVBNQB.
Ha Forced the Joker to Eat Dlrtf tola 8ngar. A Wisconsin lumberman told an amusing Btory the other day. In one of the lumber camps of that state there was a cook who was much bothered by a certain Indian, who was always "kennebutch," or hunarry. One day the cook determined that he Would fix him. He came around and brought his appetite as unual. That day the cook had soup—gallons of aoup. The buck happened in after •upper and there was plenty of soup left. The buck was given a large basin full, which he quickly devoured. The cook filled it up again and said "Eat." The Indian looked surprise^ but he consumed the soujx The cook filled the basin again. The buck shook his head. The nook seized a huge carving knife and leaped toward his guest, again commanding him to eat. The Indian again went to the bottom of the basin. He wai so full of soup that he was nearly ready to burst. He left shortly after and never came again. This was the cook's inning—the Indian's came later.
One spring day, two years later, this same cook took a friend with him to an Indian camp to witness the process of making maple sugar. All at once the Indian who had been so liberally supplied with soup appeared. He seemed •ery glad to see his old friend, the oook. Ho presented him with a huge piece of maplo sugar. The cook tasted it, dirty though it was, out of courtesy, and handed it back. Now came the Indian's inning. He forced that cook to eat so much maple sugar that he was made ill, and has had a prejudice against it ever since.
Vaeful Books.
If a scholar has little money for books he should expend it mostly for works of reference, and so get a daily return for his outgo. So seems to have thought a young man of whom an exchange tells a story. The agent for a ,new encyclopedia called upon the aforesaid young man, and began to set forth the great merits of the work. "No," said the young man, "I don't need It. I have an encyclopedia already." "Which one is it?" inquired tho canvasser. The young man could not remember. Neither could he tell who published it but it was a fine work, in many largo volumes. "Do you ever use them?" asked the agent. "Certainly—almost every day." "In what line?" "Oh, I press my trousers with them. They ar« splendid for that."
Will Mot Accept Reduced Wngcn. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 22.—The protective board of organized labor employes of the Union Pacific Railway company will begin a meeting hero next. Monday to canvass the vote recently cast by 15,000 members on the matter of the 10 per cent reduction of wages ordered to take effect Sept. 1 also to perfect a scheme of federation of all employes into one body. It is given out that the men have unanimously decided not to accept the cut. Some of them have agreed to loan to the company i0 per cent of their wages until Jan. 1. If the federation scheme is accomplished the men will be masters of the situation, and strike by them would lock every wheel on the road. The situation is very serious and the session promises to be a protracted one.
Wratten Murderer Riill Free. WASHINGTON, Ind., Sept 22.—There \s still great excitement in this city over the Wratten murder. Word was received yesterday that a negro had been arrested north of Terre Haute with blood on his clothes. The polic« have thought proper to hold him for day or two pending an investigation, as he would have had time to get to Terre Haute after the murder. An old gum coat was found yesterday near the premises, oh one arm of which blood marks were plainly visible Mr. Wratten never id a coat of this kind. It is believed that it was worn by the murderer. The bloodhounds were brought back to the city,as they could go no farther after los ng the trail.

TOPKKA, Kan., Sept. 27.—New developuients in the affairs of the defunct Kincaid bank show that the financial methods of Banker Kincaid were more disreputable than was at first supposed.

State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal said yesterday that not a partible of evidence could be obtained to Bhow what had become of the missing money.
