Not One Cent Short.

Ihe County Commissioners ami J'rt risre to a be of this week settling up accounts-. .Mr. Jlutton and hin deputy. Bun Warhingtor. will step out of office without one "nt shortage. Mr. IJutton lias made an e.'icieet otlicial. and we regret that he caunot remain longer. Mr. Warbington has kept the books four years, and has dune exceedingly well. He has about

100 different funds to look after, and this shows great credit. In his race lor 1 that office last fall lie ran ahead of his ticket, and this shows that the people of this county have great confidence in him. If nominated again, which there is no doubt he will be, he will surely be I elected by a large majority. Ben is an honest, upright young man. and is deserving of much success.

I'l-uiuviiiK Iltiumii Kumuiii-.. Many years ago the crest of the hill in the immediate vicinity of the stand pipe, embracing an area of probably four rods square, was used as a private burial ground, and from fifteen to twenty in terments were made there of persona dying previous to 1800. Most of the remains wero removed long since, ut a few remain yet. Thursday the remains of three persons named Fry were disinterred and taken to Oak Hill. One of them, a woman, who had been buried over a half century ago, was removed, and although greatly decayed, the hair of the head was found in full growth, as it were, and a comb placed in it at the time of interment, was found to be in a sound condition.

FoolUh, Lying Humor*— 11 is strange how a •jonsensical rumor, or falsehood regarding any disease or contagion will spread, and how ready people are to 'believe it. Because Dr. Leech ordered Miss Blankenship to be quarantined because she had been where small pox existed, rumor was at once started that it existed here in Crawfordsville and the country people. or many of them at least, who so readily believe any rumor, concluded it was raging hero and in consequence have remained away from here ever since. Now we desire to say to them

Demise of Aimer Milker. ihe venerable Abner Baker, one of the oldest, if not the oldest and best known citizens of Clinton county, died at his home, a few miles west of Frankfort, at an early hour Tuesday morning. The deceased was S!i years old, and he had lived continuously in the county for nearly sixty years. When he (.nine there from Ohio, not even a house marked the site on which the city of Frankfort now stands, and the light he made for the location of the county seat at Jefferson, then, as now, a hamlet situated three miles west of Frankfort, formed a memorable epoch in the earlier history of that county. The deceased accumulated a great deal of property, principally in lands, which, during the later years of his life, he divided among his children, ten in number, reserving for himself the homeBtea I

G. W. L. Brown.'who resides on South Washington street, was robbed Monday night of 675. The thieves got into the house by raising a window, and then opened a door

they could get out

easily if heard. Mrs. Brown was awakened, telling her husband that some one was in the house, and upon investigation, it proved only too true. His vest and pants were taken lrom the bed post and the pockets turned inside out, and everything they contained waB missing. The police were at once notified, but could find out nothing that would lead to their capture. It is supposed to be home talent, but who? that is the question. There have been a great many robberies of late, but the police have failed-to locate them.

FrfendlcNB antl a l'miper. After a long life of strange vicissitudes William Burns died recently in the White county poor house. lie was 03 years old. and was laid to rest only a few weeks before news came of a magnificent fortune having been left him in England. Burns, it appears, was a native of Scotland, and a distant relative of Robert Burns, the poet. Although of a distinguished family, he fell into disgrace through a clandestine marriage and was compelled to come to America. The woman whom he had sacrificed his future to marry died shortly after their arrival, and Burns drifted to Indiana, where ho has lived for over fifty years.

le» nml Salaries. The Supremo Court's decision in the fee and salary case clears up the situation that has been so embarrassing to the State Auditor and the county officers throughout the state. State Auditor Daily is congratulating himself that ho stood firm in his refusal to allow the counties to settle under the fee act of 187'J. In a few instances county commissioners have allowed treasurers, auditors and recorders fees under the act of 1879. Under the decision they will be required to recover the money from the officers who received it.— Indianapolis News.
