Jonathan Winters, Madison township, is charged by aD individual of his locality, with violating tho election law of tho State in seeking to prevent him from voting !y offering him 810. lie demands 8300 judgment.

The Yountsville woolen mills have opened up again for business.

Jeff Stewart will open a grocery store on Washington street, Indianapolis, east of the court house.

To secure places for tho numerous delegates and attendants at the Y. M. C. A. meeting here next week is a difficult matter, judging from reports- of those trying it.

"The advance agent of Prosperity" do^ not seem to have made his appearance in this vicinity yet, ao many business men say that trado is no better since t^e election than before.

James Sharp, for four years past janitor of the Court House, is to be removed next week to make room for a republic in, Such is politics, and there being no civil service in Sharp's term he will have to go.

The name of Gen. Wallace is spoken of in connection with the office of U. S, Senator. Unless Wallace's "barrel" is bigger than that of Fairbanks or McKeen he might as well abandon the undertaking at once. It's the money that will give the office to the next Senator.

Dr. Julian Berry, the cancer specialist, is doing a large

THROCKMORTON.

Reaches at Last the Place He Has

Been Seeking.

All lentember Throckmorton, the smooth rascal who up to four or five months ago resided hero. He was a born rascal, and was in a half a dozen scrapes hero for forgery or attempted work of that kind. JJis father of Lafayette, however,

tho defense of tho men so charged, and they are always republicans. That palter always passes judgment before hearing any of the sworn testimony. It might be that court, investigations would show a different state of affairs than that pronounced by a republican parti san newspaper, and that all the plaintiffs are not ex convicts, plugs anil worthless characters in general. The JournHl is much interested in hiding the dirty work of its party. It wants "harmony" now, but will want it much more hereafter. The man selling hi« vote is a dirty dog, but the man buying is dirtier, and decent people have little use for either. HoneBt intentioned people are interested in the purity of elections and the prosecution of all violators of the election law. The readiness of the'Journal to defend all persona arrested, before any sworn testimony is produced, regarding their alleged disreputable practices in connection with elections, will with many create a contrary opiniou from that which it aims to convey.

The Indianapolis News says that the friends of Fred Bandle, of this city, are urging him for the position or U. Smarshal. That "friends" business we suspect is rather thin. No doubt Fred is urgiDg on the matter himself. No friendb take half the interett in a man's hunt for oflice as he does himself. Fred has had a hankering for office for years and always will have. That is hia right, but what people object to is this "friends" business, the seeking to sgui6e an individual's aspirations under such a term. Wonder if tho "friends" of lionuell are urging him to seek the position of postmaster of Crawfordsville, or really does he want any oflice.

I'nrntcr CongreNM ut IiiilinnniioliM. The sixteenth annual session of the Farmers' National Congress began at 10:30 a. m„ Tuesday in the Indiana Hall of the House of Representatives. There were about 70 persons present. The congress was called to order by the President, B. F. Clayton, of Indianola. Iowa. Mayor Taggart delivered an address of welcome. Response was made by the Secretary, J. M. Stahl, of Chicago. Governor Matthews then welcomed the congress on behalf of the state.

President Clayton was then introduced, unol delivored his annual address.

The afternoon session began with the reading of a paper by Judge William Lawrence, of Ohio, discussing means whereby the Farmers' National Congress can become a greater political power in aid of nonpartisan legislation. He urged thorough organization on behalf of the farmers in all sections, and a co-operation on all questions of

NONPOLITICAL IMl'OKTANCK. llo urgud incidentally a restoration of the word tariff. His paper and thoughts mot with general favor. One thing he especially urged was alight to reduce the salaries of the county officials as a means of lowering the taxes.

At the conclusion of the discussion of Judge Lawrence's paper John C. Offut, of Indiana, offered the followine resolution, which was immediately referred to the Rosolutions Committee without action:

Whereas, the products of the farmers are measured by the amount of redemption money that is in circulation and

Whereas, The price of tho farm products is below the cost of production. Resolved, That the Farmers' National Congress is in favor of tho equal use of both gold and silver coin as money of ultimate redemption, and that we do request the incoming President of the United States to call a conference of nations that are willing for the use of both gold and silver as money, w.th the free and unlimited cuinape of both gold and silver in a ratio to be agreed upon.

OHIcers' llciiortB. The city clerk reported receipts to the amount of S515, and expenditures of 83,186.85. The treasurer's report showed: Balance on hand Oct. 31 88,425.65 Receipts 1,312.66

Total $9,738.31 Disbursements 4,660.42

Balance on hand 85,077.89 The street commissioner reported the expeDEe of improvements for two weeks ending Nev. 6, at $164.63.

The electric light superintendent reported receiptB for October to the amount of $642.05, and expenditures amounting to $1,458.81, making an excess of expenditures over receipts to tho amount of 815.76. The cost of each arc light for October waB $5.67.

Alleged Tampering with Tally SliqetK. John Carson, trustee of Polk township, Monroe county waB arrested Wednesday morbing on the charge of falsifyidg election tally-sheets in bis possession. He waived examination and was put under $500 bond, which was promptly given. The trouble grows out of an alleged change of the tallysheets, in which twenty-four votes were changed from John D. Morgan, for county assessor, to Robert Campbell, thus electingCampbell by one vote. The fraud was so evident that Republicans refused to countenance it, and a certificate of election was issued to Morgan.

Since the election traveling men for wholesale houses are much more numerous in town than for two months pre-' vioue to that event.

A Queer Complaint. Flora Farley, wife of Rev. Chae. Farley, of Kokomo, has recently applied for divorce and has made out a somewl at remarkable petition. She claims that because of the cruel and inhuman treatment of her husband, she became weak and enfeebled and when sickness attacked her she was not given medical attention. "Farley." the complaint runs, "is young and vigorous, but refuses to work although a minister of the gospel, competent and capable to extract spiritual nourishment to the satisfaction and edification of any congregation from the Hebrew text. He declines to engage in his vocation: he has even taken the plaintiff's poultry and exchanged it for tobacco."

"JJltlo Dick" Still MVCN. From tho fact thiit "Little Dick'' Burke, the well known dwarf has not been seen on the streets of Crawfordsville for several years, many have supposed that he was not amocg tho living. This, however, is a mistake. Dick is still living, but in feeble health. He resides with relatives on east Freemont street, near the Junction, but has not been but a short distance from his home in several years, being a sufferer from spinal troubles and a confirmed invalid. His age is over 40 years, and when in health he wae around town frequently.

Landis' Father Diet*. Dr. A. H. Landis, one of the oldest residents of Cass county, died Monday, aged seventy-five years. Dr. Landis was well known throughout the btate, having been actively engaged in buBi ness at Loeanspoit, and during the war wan widely known as correspondent of many northern newspapers. He was a graduate of Cleveland and Cincinnati medical colleges. Dr. Landis leaves a large family, among whom are Kenesaw M. Landis, of Chicago, private secretary to the late Walter Q. Gresbam C. B. Landis, congressman-elect from the Ninth district of Indiana, and Walter K. Landis, editor of the Marion Chronicle.

Probably a Murderer. A colored man applied to the police of Lafayette Tuesday evening for lodging. He wat recognized as "Al" Games wanted at Danville, 111., ror the murder of Ernest Taylor on Nov. 3, and is being held to await the action of the Danville authorites. There was a reward of $1,000 for Games' arrest. He admitted that he had some trouble with Taylor, but does not seem to know that it resulted in murder.

THE NICHOLSON LAW.

Terre Haute Fears Mount's Position

Upon It-

"Mr. Mount is a church member, ^nd it is said, believes in the strict enforcement of the Nicholson law. If tbis'bft true, there will likely be some very radical changes in local affairs, within the next few months. A new police boa^d will be among the first items to occupy the attention of tho new governor and speculation is already rife as to where the appointments will go. 4 number of prominent republicans, who,are favorable to a liberal administration, will see Mr. Mouyt and endeavor to persuade him^thaf Terro Haute does not want to be known as a closed town, but the opposition element iB equally attractive aod the fact of Mr. Mount's predilections being known, tends to make the situation decidedly interesting."

Danville, III., Commercial: The Ben Hur band has outlined a programme of considerable extent for tho winter musical campaign. The plans now comprise a circle of concerts beginning at Crawfordsville and taking in Terre Haute, Paris, Attica and other points. A series of balls will be given at the armory, at which the full band will furnish music. The circle of concerts will undoubtedly extend the popularity of the famous musical organization greatly.
