Plaguerizing by Osborn.

The New Richmond Enterprise is not treating the literary work and memory of a former honored citizen of Lafayette, Sanford Cox, fairly in stealing chapters from his book, "Old Settlers," published some forty years ago, relating to pioneer incidents in the early settlement of western Indiana, and seeking to pan them off as written by some one living now and residing in the locality of New Richmond. Act fair, Bob. "Old Settlers" has considerable literary merit and the memory of its author long since passed away, is entitled to respect, and this best can be shown by the proper credit.

The "Bandit" Reported Dead. Charles Roberts, who for some years resided in Parke county, and about a decade ago bore the high sounding and terror inspiring name of "the Wabash Bandit," on account of some stealing and rowdyism that was laid at his door, it is reported was lately killed at a point near Salina, Ohio, while undertaking to rob a farmer. Roberts served a three years' term in the penitentiary at Michigan City, but after his release left this section of the State and has not been heard of before for some years..

kj. A Church Contribution. Rev. G. P.

On Sunday night an announcement was made from the pulpit, that the members of the church and all others who'desired would contribute to his needs on Friday and 'a large collection of money and the necessaries of life were left at W. F. Royer'e store which will be delivered to tym today— WiymtofD Despatch.

DISTRESSING POVERTY.

for Examples of Practical

Christianity.

One of our physicians, called to the vicinity ot the barb wire works in a case of sickness, made a distressing discovery one day this week. The head of the family and every member of it was down Bick, with no one to wait upon them. Looking around the premises not a stick or wood nor a und of coal was to be found, while the cupboard and tables were bare of anything in the way of eatibles. Aid was soon after, wards furnished by the trustee on the situation being made/ known. TMere may be ia town many other equally dietreeeing cases of poverty and want. Who knows? Would it not be a good idea for some of those individuals who desire to be known as Christians, followers of the meek and lowiv Jesus, ambitious to keep their church buildings up in the latest style of ornamentation and to pay their ministers twice or three timeB the salary of hard working mechanics, to give the public some samples ot practical Christianity by hunting out such places ot distress as that above reported, and devote some of their time and their means* to those whose lives have rallen in such unfortunate places? We think so. Would it not be a good example for some of those ladies who glory in seeing their names in print as members of some literary society or managers of a "Tea Social," to devote lees time to literary and "tea" matters and a little more to charity? The more than usual distress among scores of people thiB winter would certainly indicate that eharitsble deeds would make more interesting reading in newspapers than literary or big supper advertisements.

A SUDDEN DEATH

At Music Hall on Thursday Evening.

During the first act of the play ''Police Alarm" at Music Hall on Thursday night, MisB M. Casey, a daughter of Timothy CaBey, the brick maker, living north-west of the city, was observed to suddenly faint and her head to fall forward in the. chair in which she was seated. Acquaintances of the young lady immediately carried her tot to the lobby of the hall, when examination at once showed that she waa dead, having expired from an attack of appoplexy or heart failure, it is supposed. The young lady was but fifteen years of age, and her sudden death produced a great Bhock to all. The interment will occur to-day, we understand. Funeral from the Catholic church.

Mrs.

H. Staley.

Mrs. Salome Barr Staley, wife of the Hon. E. H. Staley, of Frankfort, died recently in Dayton, this State, where her people settled early in the century. Mrs. Staley had not been in roboet health for several years, and was brought up from Florida, where their winters generally are spent, on Christmas Day, suffering froto complete nervous prostration. Her decline waa rapi'1, and her death, painless and calm, came last week, Her husband, E. H. Staley, was for many years editor and proprietor of the Frankfort Creeoent but for two or three years had resided in Florida, being superintendent of BCDOOIB in one of the cities of that State.

Valentine's Day.

To-morrow is Valentine's day, and post office clerks generally have reason to remember it, as extra burdens are generally piled upon them through the amount of sickly sentimental sluch in the way of letters sent through the office on that day. This year perhaps, it will not be so. bad aa formerly, less of valentines being sold this year than heretofore.

56TH YEAR.- NO 27.

THE POSTMASTERSHIP

Is Settled for Crawfordsville,

John R. Bonnell is to be

The nan.

Congressman Landis was in town on Saturday last and settled the question as to who should succeed Ed. Voris, aa soon as his commission expires which is next October. John R. Bonnell, chair* man of the republican central committee was informed that the place would be given him. This may be. somewhat of a hardship to Bro. McCain, Chae. Harding and a number of other time-tryed, all wool and a yard wide republican patriots, but there is nothing to do but submit, the same as many other self sacrificing individuals have done before.

Bonnell will make a good official and is probably as deserving ae any other of hiB party, probably more so than any of them as he labored as much as any of them for success. The office to the incumbent is worth $2,500 thiB year, all the deputies and employees receiving separate salaries. There are eigbt employeee, including the carriers, waging in the post office, and the next highest paid employee is the deputy who receives $900 per year.

THEY ARE ONE.

The Ice Product of This City Own

ed Now by One Company.

The ice plant of Sterling R. Holt and that BIBO of Martin & Son were this week consolidated into oce company. A joint stock company, capitalized at $25,000, was organized, g. R. Holt, is president Ed. Reynolds, vice-president Wm. Martin, Jr., secretary and treasurer and Wm. Martin, Sr., manager.

Whether this will be to the disadvantage of the consumers iB yet to be determined by the prices fixed for the product next summer. At this time it is undoubtedly a monoply with no competitors in the field.

Not

Tax

Payers.

The statement has been made on the street that of the Bix men now convasaing the city for nameB to petitions, requesting the council to build a system of sewerage, not one of them is a tax payer, that is, pays or has for years, any city or county tax. We do not know whether this is true, but if BO, it look* like much gall on their part to desire others forced to pay tax to provide work for them when they, even when time* were good and business brisk, were never guilty of contributing anything in the way of taxes themselves. It might be well when approached by any of these men for signatures to these petitions, to ascertain the correctness of the assertion regarding their tax paying.

Remains Cremated.

The remains of the late Dr. G. C. Smythe, of Greencaetle, were taken to Cincinnati on Thursday afternoon and cremated. Dr. Smythe requested that this course be pursued and his relatives carried out his wishes. A committee ot the Gentleman's Literary Club, of Greencaetle—the Rev. W. K. Weaver, Dr. P, S. Baker and Jerome Allen accompanied the remains.

Verdict for $25.

George Bond, of Clinton county, Btied Henry Clements and James Walters for failing to fill an agreement with him, in which defendents failed to leave the property in the condition they had so agreed to, after using it as a gravel pit. At a hearing of the case before circuit court this week Bond was given a verdict for $25.

Resigned.

'Squire Vannice, of Franklin townehip, before whom the swindler, Barns, appeared with his bogus mortgage and note for his J. P. Seal, through which ha secured the $2,500 belonging to Mra. McMechac, has resigned his office thoroughly disgugtod. and under no conditions would take it again.
