A Good Big Salary.

Attorney Shrum wha has been investigating and searching the books in the Auditor's office, during the eight year's incumbency of it by John L. Goben says tbat during that time Goben drew out from the county treasury on warrants for himself the sura of $51,000, or at the rate of over $0 300 per year. That sum in the hands of a careful, close business man would enable him to retire at the end of his term on a fortune. "We have however, no record of any county auditor retiring on a fortune, or if so, ever retaining much of it. There are three or four ex-auditorB living is town now, but none of them are aceu3ed of being wealthy.

No Settlement.

No settlement has as yet been made between ex-treasurer John C. Ilutton and the county commissioners. Both sides met on Wednesday at the court house to discuss the situation, but came to no definite understanding. Mr. Hutton insists that the law of 1879 is the one by which he is guided in squaring his account with the county, while the commissioners are determined that the law of 1891 is the one to balance accounts with, and thus it remains. It is probable that a suit in court will be brought before the matter is permanently settled.

Who is Homer?

Custodian Vest, of the State House, it is announced, has appointed Homer S. Miller of Montgomery county as custodian of the State museum. Who Homer Miller is no one around here appears to know, but the appointment was made probably through Governor Mount, and is some individval that the Governor has taken a fancy to. The tribe of Miller in this county is a very extensive one, but it is not often that any by the name have held office or received an appointment from the Governor.

To Exterminate Buffalo floths. Buffalo moths may be exterminated by the use of lavender or musk or camphor—in fact, anything with a decided odor will drive them away. Put a little gum camphur in the corners and around the edges of your floors. Keep the rooms open and as light as possible. Put camphor among your clothing, use newspapers for wrapping, and the moths will soon leave you.—April Ladies' Home Journal.

Darlington's Old Residents. Darlington has probably four of the oldest residents in the county. Samuel Conn was born Aug. 25, 1821, and is an eccentric and old fashioned man. Silas Hiatt wa& born A up. 5, 1823, He claims to be the oldest native now living in Montgomery county, James Hall was born Nov. 25, 1817, and William Cox, July 21, 1814. Mr. Hall, although an old man, continues to work on his farm..

The New Richmond paper says that McCrea has had enough as a legislator and will not again be a candidate. It is likely also tbat the voters have bad enough of him and will not be in the Aea6t urgent to get him to offer again.

Scott Jackson's Ashes.

For a long time to come we occasionally will hear something about the Poarl Bryan murder and matters relating to the execution of tho murderers. The Sentinel correspondent from Greencastle says in speaking of the cremation of Scott Jackson:

There are many persons who are asserting that what was brought to this city as the remains of Scott Jackson were io reality not his bones at all. A prominent citizen, who has visited the Cincinnati retort, in conversation with the Sentinel correspondent said:

In the Cincinnati crematory at Clifton, in the basement where the retorts are located, immediately to the base of the elevator, is a small, dark room, in which there are several vessels filled with ground bones. tSome of these vessels are "sealed," as they call it, at Clifton: that is. a email wire is run around the lid and the ends twisted. There is also a larger vessel that ii not "sealed." If you ask "Charley,'' the attendant, whoBe these are he will tell you they are the boneB of his uncle, and you instinctively ask yourself what a mammoth man "Charley's" uncle must have been to furnish as much uust—or rather ground bou6s, more nearly resembling clover seed in size—as three ordinary men. The question also arises, "What are Charley's uncle's remains doing there? Why are they kept in an open vessel?-'

Then again, it requires five or six hours to burn the flesh from the bones in the Clifton retort, and then three hours at least are necessary for the retort to cool. Now, suppose Jackson's body entered the retort at 8 o'clock it would be 3 oi 4 o'clock in the morning before the bones could be removed. To remove all the ernaller bones from the ashes would require many hours and to remove even the larger bones and grind them in the little mill would require several hours, which would make it impossible for "Charley" to reach the down town office at "7 o'clock.'' Or, if we give credit for honesty in removing some of the smaller bones, it makes the feat still more impossible and if we allow any time for sleep it becomes so much more an impossibility. Now, putting all these things together, it seems most improbable that Scott Jackson's remainB were brought here last Sunday, It would be a very easy thing for "Charley" to appropriate some bones from the enormous supply of his "uncle's," put them in a case and "seal'' it and call it "Scott Jackson's remains." He could afterward reimburse his "uncle's" supply, cr he n-iight take one of the cans already 'sealed." Of course it is not known that this was done, but there area number who firmly believe so, and they have considerable proof for their statements.

Circus War.

Indiana is to be the scene this month of one of the hottest circus wars in the history of the profession. It is to open about the20th, and Anderson will be one of the first cities that will get the full effect. The Walter L. Maine, Wallace and LaPearl's 25 cent circuses and the big Barnum 50 cent show are the principals, Maine is hooked in Anderson on the 22d, Wallace is on the 23d, LaPearl comes on the 2Gth, and the big show comes about May 1. The advance men are there now, and Bailey has one of hiscars at that point billing Barnum's show already. It is not unlikely that it Will go there from Louisville, where it is booketi for the 19th of April. All are scrambling for bill houds, and Barnum has gone tho others one hotter by buying up all in the city. The others are letting contracts for new boards and securing places to put them up. The advance men cannot understand why all nave decided to open in tho centrai states, as this is not considered the best territory in the country.

Again After tioben.

Ex-Auditor John L. Goben from reports of Attorney John Shrum and others who have been examining tinbooks, accounts, school fund loans and oth^r matters, during his term of ollice as Auditor, is not through with this county ye.t, and is to be called for an accounting again in many matters in which tho county lias an interest. Prom examinations made by these parties a bad state of alToirs is shown, and to their minds the conclusion is that Mr. Goben is indebted to the county several thousands of dollars, it is probable that books and papers renting to matters during the last term of (lolrMi's occupancy of the Auditor's ollice will be brought, to tho attention of the grand jury for its action.

Deputy Assessors.

April Weather.

Foster, the weather prophet, gives us the following weather as likely to occur in thie month: "From about Friday, the 2d, to Sunday 4t look for the passage of a warm wave and numerous storms, attended by hail and thunder. From about the 8th to lOfh there will be a marked return to warmer and falling barometer, ending In more storms of rain, hail and that from about the 13th to 18th the probabilities are strong for many and violeut Btorms. The indications are that warm, threatening conditions will prevail for several days and that the crisis will fall not far from the 17th. Nothing worse than severe April

showerB,

with hail

and thunder may occur at this time. From the 20th to 22d falls a reactionary period of change and storm. Heavy April showers with hail in many places will be very natural. Sharp clause'in cooler will come after the storms with frost very probable in the central and northern States. The last storm period for the month ie central on the 25th and covers the 24th to 28th.

Suit Against the Heaths. Aaron Heath, 'Squire Heath and Reason Heath, of Ripley township, have had suit entered against them by Wtn. Reeves, administrator of the et,iato of Samuel Heath, at the instance of the widow, Mary Heath. The complaint alleges that the defendants carried away promisory notes, building and loi.n stock, and other property of tho value of $8,000. The plaintiff asks that the defendants be examined under oath regarding the property, and also that a 1 assets be delivered up to him and liiat he have judgment in th? sum of 610,000 and all proper relief. The Heaths evidently have got a big at suit on their hands, which may tako them some time to dispose of.

A Beautiful Custom at Bloomington. Of the many stations on the Monon line, Bloomington is said to be the only one with llower decorations. For two years beautiful flower beds have met the ght of passengers as they entered the city, one on each side of the depot. This is due to Mrs. 10. M. Seward, who every spring-time takes up a collection among the business man, and, by the assistance of the railroad company, plants a large collection of (lowers that become very attractive. An effort will ho made to have the Monon officials put up a new depot before the close of the ar

Will Locate the Building. Ihe city school trustees with the city council will locate the new school building to take the place of tho Wilson building on east Wabash avenue. It is understood that the council favor a location east of the Monon railway, or if it is thought best, will conclude to erect two G-room school buildings, one in the north-east part of town, and the other in the south-west, south of the Big Pour railway.

The "Equity" Order.

An insurance company, known as the Order of Equity, made an assignment at Indianapolis, its headquarters, last week. Its liabilities are reported at 870.000, while the assets are not over $20,000. Among the losers by the failure in Crawfordsville are P. ('. Somervilie, John Bonnell, Dr. Entminger, John McClamroch, Geo. Robinson and others.
