LINDEN.

Health good except bad colds. E. D. Galbredth's new residence is ready for the plasterers.

The Good Templers meet in the Dunkle hall on Friday nights. There are as many boarding houses here at ptesent as there are boarders.

People here want to see the corn Bta'k factory start, as the scale house and pits are being built.

There will be a funeral here one of these days if the boys don't quit jumping on and off moving trains.

A couple were married] here on Thanksgiving day, at high noon^ and have gone to house-keeping*on the fodder factory ground.

Mrs. Malinda Montgomeay and nephew, James Stoddard, of Crawfordsville, were here on Thursday of last week, visitiug amoug friends.

Rev. F. P. Trotter filled his^appointment here last Sunday. There was also preaching at the other church by the circuit preacher, ... Stafford.

J. S. Bennett says he is still doing business at the old stand. He means to say he is still writing insurance for the McGilliard agency company of Indianapolis.

Uncle John Clark has vacated his property here and the widow Rash has possession. Uncle John occupies his new dwelling at New Richmond. He moved to that place in order to be near his children.

Uncle J. S. Bannefct says it is much more pleasant to have his barn at home than to cross the railroad apd be shut off and have to wait.^or a long train to pull out before he can get home with his bucket of milk.

Now when the,, husband says he wants a farm implement or new harness, the ^ixiie says: "Well, if you N^nust g§t it, it is all right witli me." the good wife say something about a washing machine, or anew cook or heating stove, then listen to what the good husband has to say: "Wife, you can make out with the old one for a while yet."

The general rule of the people of Linden and vicinity is, when they borrow anything of a neighbor not to return it but let some one els3 have it, and then when the owner wants to use the article he does not know who has it. Yet there is one man in this place that lives up to the golden rule, that is, he returns anything he or at a as 6 7 a old last October.

Fifty cents bus a dozen fine photo graphs at Willis & McQuown's. Misses Flora and Agnes Schultz left this week for St. Petersburg, Fid., to spend the winter.

While wrestling in a we§t Main street saloon Tuesday afternoon 'Malichi" Bill Scott wa"3 so unfortunate as to fall and breait his right leg just below the knee.

Consumption

Will SCOTT'S EMULSION cure consumption Yes and no. Will it cure every case No. What cases will it cure then Those in their earlier stages, especially in young people. We make no exaggerated claims, but we have positive evidence that the early use of

Scott's Emulsion

of Cod-liver oil with Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda in these cases results in a positive cure to a large number. In adv&oced cases, however, where A Cure is impossible, this well-known remedy should be relied upon to prolong life surprisingly.

WOMEN AT OXFORD.

Their Number Is Increasing Rapidly— Throe Interesting: Colleges.

The number of women students at Oxford is increasing rapidly and th« mingling of girls with men on collegiate streets is said to give a charming touch to the appearance of the old city much remarked by visitors, says an exchange. There are three women colleges at Oxford, hardly so famous af the Girton and Newnham of Cambridge but accomplishing work just as important—Somerville hall, Lady Margaret and St. Hugh's. Somerville hall is an old manor house, purchased and improved for its present site as a "(hall of residence," with only eight students, but now has a yearly average of seventy, the number gradually increasing as the university authorities threw open their examinations one by one to women on the same terms as men. The college is described as a picturesque building with spacious dining-room, large, comfortable drawing-room—or common room, as the girls prefer to call it—tennit courts and shady lawns. It has als a very fine gymnasium, a hockey field and its own boats on the river. Lady Mapgaret's is presided over by Miss Wordsworth, a gray-(haired, sweetfajced woman, much loved by her students, several of whom have reached distinction in various directions. Mis? Hogarth, one of Lady Margaret's aluimni, is head of the lady clerks of the Bank of England and assists W. L. Courtney on the Fortnightly Review. Another, Miss Margaret Benson, daughter of the late archbishop of Can. terbury, is the author of the recently published novel, "Subject to Vanity." St. Hugh's hall was established foi girls w.ho wished to enjoy the advantages of Oxford but who could not afford the somewhat expensive rates of Somerville and Lady Margaret's and are content with plainer living. The Association for Promoting the Education of Women in Oxford has done much for women students by acting as an intermediary between them and the the authorities and inducing the majority of the professors to admit women to their classes. This, as a rule, is a matter which each professor may determine for himself and the decision' consequently depends upon indiyici'ual views of the "woman question."

SEQANTINI, ITALIAN PAINTER.

Had Very Lltt^ Honof in His Own Country. Bo1^-

at -Arco, in Trent, in 1858, "Se-

^JJtini's first impressions were of the fountains. His earliest experiences were of the saddest, the child moving from Arco to Trent, then for a while to Milan and back to Aroo again until, the fortunes of his family growing harder, he was sent to work on a farm, says Scribner's. The world of art opened up for him in the studio of the Milanese Tettaitamanzi, a painter of dhurch banners and drop curtains and 'his friends delight in telling how, when his master, who thought himself an artist of the rarest merit, asked him, "What wou'ldst thou do, my friend, if thou wert an artist like me?" the little fellow straightway blurted out: "I? I would throw myself out of the window," which answer brought his apprenticeship to a sudden end. Afterward Segantini distinguished himself by winning prizes at the Milan school of fine arts, the Brera academy.

However, those early days of the artist in the capital of Lomibardy, where (he supported himself while studying by giving lessons and painting signs and pictorial advertisements, were full of pathetic experiences and (hardships, which his sturdy, uncompromising, intensely personal attitude toward art tended to increase. He was always blamed by his compatriots for what precisely gives "him his place in the eyes of the foreign public—his individuality and until great honors were bestowed upon him in Holland, Prance, Germany and England his works were misunderstood, unjustly treated and pointed out as examples of what Italian painters would come to should they abandon the honored traditioaig of their national school.

Duping the London Zoo.

An audacious knave has succeeded in imposing upon the directors of the Zoo, Regent's Park, a fictitious "horned viper"—men who are supposed to be familiar with all the great snake family, in a guarded way. The cerastes viper, it may be explained, is distinguished over other deadly crawling things by a pair of horns over each eye, not of any great size, but sufficiently protuberant to show that the reptile

is

no common snake. The audacious imposter appears to have cut two little slits over the eyes and inserted a couple of spines, (from a hedgehog probably. It would be a risky job, for cerastes Is a gentleman of irritable temper, and not safely handled. Witih a writhing snake an Accident may easily occur. The ingenious knave, however, took all risfks, ftnd has had his reward in duping men who are not easily imposed upon.

Verdi as a Bicyclist.

The latest and most venerable devotee of the bicycle is Giuseppe Verdi. The famous composer, notwithstanding his eighty-three years, has been taking lessons on the wheel, and has proved an apt pupil. The Klelne Zeitung learns from a correspondent that the hearty old musician is following the sport with "a zeal and endurance quite astonishing in an octogenarian."

A Frugal Wife.

"You'll save half your money by buying one of these patterns," said the cler(k at the bargain counter. "Then I'll take two and save all my money," sweetly Bmiied the newly married Shopper.—Detroit Free Press.

DEADLY SHOTS FIRED BY SUN.

In One Instance an Innocent Man Was Sentenced to Be Hanged.

In a recent paper appeared an account of a strange accident in which a man was killed by the discharge of a gun while lying asleep on a lounge in his room, the weapon being discharged by reflected rays of the sun falling upon the cartridge chamber of the firearm, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Since the publication of the story a correspondent from York, Pa., writes concerning the accident and refers to a similar case, in which, through the efforts of a clever Cincinnati lawyer named G. C. Wallis, the person accused of murder and sentenced to be hanged was set at liberty, the circumstantial evidence on which he was convicted being entirely exploded by a witnessed demonstration as to how the accident really occurred. The York correspondent referred to volume 13 of the Criminal Law Magazine, page 607, on which a full account of the case appears. The case wSs that of the state of Tennessee against Avery, tried in Henry county, that state, and is one. of the most remarkable in the history of criminal jurisprudence. In June, 1887, Charles Ensley, the cousin of a man of the name of Avery, was killed in (his room while lying on a lounge about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The weapon which caused the death was a small rifle, sending a 32-caliber ball through Ensley's brain. No one was in the house at the time but Ensley. An empty rifle was found lying on a rack on a wall of the room in which the killing occurred and the bullet fitted the tube. Avery was arrested for the crime, as he was the only living relative to Ensley, and by his death profited to the amount of about $100,000. Avery was tried, pleaded not guilty, but was "onvicted of murder in the first degr and sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to the Supreme court and engaged Mr. Wallis to defend him. The Supreme court remanded the case back to the Circuit court on technical errors. Two mistrials. brought about and thep.— CuT£ie the strangest part o.t story. The brilliant Wallis:' struck the keynote to the mystery. In August, 1891, he had the "riSe loaded and hung on the wall. A white sheet with the form of a man marked rfn it was placed in exactly the position occupied by Ensley when lying asleep, and a heavy cut-glass pitcher of water like the one found in the room was placed on the shelf above. The temperature was 56 degrees in the shade, one of the (hottest days of the year. The pitcher acteU as a sunglass and the hot rays' of the sun shining through the water were refracted directly on the cartridge chamber of the rifle. Eight witnesses were in the room and a few minutes after 3 o'clock a puff and a report occurred and the ball struck the outlined form back of the ear in the exact location wherp EnBley was shot and the theory of circumstantial evidence went to pieces. The incident, being witnessed and sworn to, readily explained itself to the Jury.

Pie Social.
