point at the junction of the Vandalia and Bi: Pour railroads, 18 miles north of Crawfordsvilio.

One of the highly appreciated conveniences of Perry township is the Colfax bank established in 1895 by L. H.

The assets of the Colfax bank are $75,000 with liabilities amounting to 825,000. In 1897, Mr. Jordan's business was doubled, and io 1897 the aggregate of the two preceeditg years have been doubled. All the Clark's Hill banking businese is done through this institu tion and a large number of patrons are furnished by Bowers and Manson.

Being a private bank it is as safe as a national or Stats bank. On the first of last May C. W. Cobb came to Colfax from Lafayette and pur chased the New Transient Hotel formerly conducted by C. W. Richey. The hotel is tbe only first class house in Colfax and is in the bauds of a man capable of running it on the right system. His rates are reasonable, hin beds clean, his tables well kept up. For traveling men it is the place tv stop.

MONG the visitors attending the encampment at Lake Park Springs, Nevada, of the Interstate Old Soldiers' reunion, was the world's most noted hangman, George Maledon, of Fort Smith, Ark. He is a small man with

v,.iin

whiskers. He was born

in Bavaria, in 1830, and went from Michigan to Fort Smith 41 years ago. He hanged his first man there, sentenced by Judge Parker, in 1872. He has continued to act as hangman for the United States court at Fort Smith ever since, hanging ninety-eight men, sentenced by the late Judge Parker, who, during his term of service, sentenced 216 men to death and sent 10,000 to the penitentiary.

Speaking of his uncanny calling, Mr. Maledon said: "At one time I had twelve men 011 the scaffold. Five of them were commuted and seven dropped at one movement of the trigger. Every neck was broken. Throughout

GEORGE MALEDON.

my entire service I never strangled a man or drew blood on him. When the neck is broken the arms and shoulders drop down. "When there is strangulation they shrug up. Ninety per cent of the men I have hanged committed their crimes because of whisky, either directly or indirectly. One of them, Booth Crumpton, held up a glass on the scaffold and said: 'Young men, when you take up a glass to drink, look into the bottom and see if there's not a hangman's knot hidden there.' "One of the worst men I ever hanged was Cherokee Bill. It was known that he killed twelve men and had doubtless murdered others. He was In the Forth Smith jail, from which no man had ever escaped. He tried to get away and the guards fired sixty-two shots at him without mortally wounding him. During the fight he shot and killed a very popular guard, named Keaton. The people on the outside heard of it and attempted to mob the murderer, but the guards turned and defended him. Cherokee Bill killed his brother-in-law, and said he did it to see him kick, as he was ajways kicking at everything. "I have hanged negroes, Indians and white men, and nearly all of tfeem weakened. Some of them seemed calm, but when your hand was placed on them you could always feel the muscles crawling and trembling. An Indian haB a great horror of hanging. They would much prefer to be shot.. I have had them draw a black mark on their clothes and beg me to shoot them while in their cells. They are great drunkards, and will drink red ink or any other fluid which has alcohol in it. Jack Spaniard was another bad man. He was the captain of the Belle Star band. Jack fought like a demon when they started to the scaffold, and it was necessary to choke him down. Dr. Alexander was a brilliant and highly educated man. but had a bad temper. He witnessed several of my executions, and then he killed a man. He was sentenced, and, knowing him so well, I asked if he would prefer some other man to hang him. 'Do it your self he said. 'You know how to break my nock short off.' "I remember when Cherokee Bill was brought out to the scaffold. He looked at the crowd and exclaimed: 'H look at the people. Wonder what's going to happen?' His neck was larger around this his head, and there were those who said the rope would slip off, but it didn't.

The last man hanged was Casirago, an Italian. He was the handsomest man who ever went to the scaffold, and was sentenced' for the murder of three girls and two men. One was his sweetheart, and he was jealous. He shot them all within a few minutes. It was believed that he had no grounds for hi? jealousy."

Mr. Maledon has all the ropes with vhich the hanging was Ji.io. One specially good piece has banged twen-ty-seven men.

tributes his recovery tp the devotion and the skill of his doctor. The viper bit with all his might and main and the doctor counteracted the poison with an injection of iodine. If he has found a specific he is one of the greatest benefactors of the age. Twenty thousand persons die every year of snake-bite in India alone. A good deal depends on the severity of the bite, but in this ::ase the conditions were all adverse to the sufferer. Tke reptile held on till its head was blown off. On tho other hnnd, courage is an 'important agent recovery. Persons wanting in this faculty usually collapse at once of sheer terror. The treatment has hitherto been confined mainly to attempts to prevent the poison from entering the circulation by of the tourniqunuct and the red-hot :von. The antidotes have failed one .ifter the other—ammonia, liquor potassa. permanganate of potassium. The efficacy of iodine, at any rate, has yet to be disproved.—London

HUNG BY A FINGER RING.

Torturing Experience of a Woman Caught on a Nail. Mrs. Fred Giottonini, of Salinas, Cal., recently hung half an hour by a finger-ring from a nail protruding from the wall of lier sitting room. She did not succeed in liberating herself until the flesh of the finger was alnost torn from the bone. She stepped on a trunk to hang up a bird cage, standing on tiptoe to reach .the cage hook. The trunk was rounded and her foot slipped. She let go of the bird cage and reached for a support. Her finger slid down the wall^and'an ugly nail protruding from the* wall was jammed in between her ring and her finger. Thus the full weight'of her body was held by one finger. Of course, it required but little time for the nail to draw the ring far into the flesh and to cause the blood to spurt. The pain was frightful. Mrs.kGiottonini called for assistance, but as there was no one in the house she was left helpless.

The smooth wainscoting prevented her from catching hold of anything with her free hand, and the slippery surface of the trunk lid prevented her from getting any foothold to relieve the tension on the finger. It was a long and torturing experience before she finally succeeded in detaching the ring from the nail. She eventually got sufficient purchase on the trunk to lighten the weight a little, and by this time the flesh had been so much lacerated on the finger that it was comparatively easy to get it free. A doctor was summoned and the ring filed from the finger, but it will be several weeks before the. flesh can possibly grow sufficiently to enable Mrs. Giottonini to use her hand with any degree of comfort.

WHIPPED BY VIGILANETS.

Constable James Parrlsh of Decatur, Ind., I* Terribly Panltihed. White Caps entered the residence of James Parrish, a constable, at Decatur, Iifd., last week, and, placing a rope around his neck, dragged him down the stairs into the street clothed only in his night robe. They, marched him a short distance from the house and, tying him to a tree, flogged him with whips and knotted ropes until every part of his body was covered with welts and gashes. All this time the poor wretch begged and pleaded for mercy and promised to do better. His appeals were not. listened to, and when he fainted from pain and less of blood his tormentors left him for dead and quietly disappeared, leaving no trace of their whereabouts. Parrish was found about two hours later in a dying condition. He regained consciousness for a short time, but said he was unable to recognize any of his tormentors. One of his ears was entirely severed from his head while dragging him down the stairway, and was found lying where it had been torn off. The supposed reason for the attack on Par-

Cholera Microbes ln Dish Cloths. The mails from India bring a re markable story of how Prof. Hamlin sought and found the cholera microbe which had made havoc among thirteen people in Saugor. Of these thirteen nine became seriously

three devel­

oped Asiatic cholera, and one died. Every precaution was supposed to have been taken against infection. Prof. Hankln, prompted by curiosity and his love of science, immediately began to hunt for the microbe that had caused all the trouble. It was finally detected in a water pot in the kitchen, but the supply from which the pot had been filled was found to be absolutely pun. Further investigation developed the fact that the dishcloth had been dried on an infected sand bank. Thus conveyed into the kitchen, the microbe not only got into the water pot, but made Its way to a chocolate pudding. There it yielded over 4,000,000 cholera microbes within a space of eighteen hours.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Cures Coughs

"My wife was suffering from a dreadful cough. We did not expect that she would long survive, but Mr. R. V. Royal, deputy surveyor, happenejj to be stopping with us over night, and having a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with him, induced my wife to try this remedy. The result was so beneficial that she kept on taking it till she was cured."

R. S. HUMPHRIES, Saussy, Ga.

My little daughter was taken with a distressing cough, which for three years defied all the remedies I tried. At length, on the urgent recommendation of a friend, I began to give her Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After using one bottle I found to my great surprise that she was improving. Three bottles completely cured her."

In Elstow in the One Where Often

Passed.'

A recent writer upon the objects of historical iuterest connected with the early life of Buuyan at the little village of Eistow describes, among other things, the wicket gate which figures early in the story of "Pilgrim's Progress." Anything that helps readers to picture in imagination the scenes described in that book will be widely read and with intense pleasure, ln the village of Eistow there is abundant material that is visibly associated with John Buuyan. The isolated church tower contains the very bells in the ringing of which Bunyan rejoiced and afterward trembled. A'Wuve all, I must mention what appears tr.l j%cently to have escaped attention. The "wicket gate" of the Pilgrim's Progress" is commonly represented as a garden gate or turnpike gtfcte, but really the term denotes a small doorway cut out of a large door. Concealed behind a tree at the west end of Eistow church is just such a small doorway in the broad wooden surface of the great door. Through this lowly opening Bunyan must often have passed when a boy. If it were simply drawn and engraved I believe we should have a correct picture of that which was before his imagination when he described the early steps of Christian's pilgrimage.—Youth's Companion.

ELOQUENCE OF A GIRL.

The latest child phenomenon comes from Jersey City and she is drawing crowds of enthusiastic people to hear her in Pittsburg this week. Her name is Isabella Harvey Horton and she is a little colored girl just 13 years old. Her vocation is that of an evangelist and her preaching is said to be forcible, logical and convincing. The John Wesley Methodist chapel is where she holds her Pittsburg services and though the church accommodates over 1,500 people its congregations this week have filled halls, stairways and vestibules and overflowed into the street. Isabella Harvey Horton is fatherless and poor and she Is trying to earn money enough to educate herself. It has been proposed that Wesley chapel fur*

Pot Out by a Crow.

From the Chillicothe News: A peculiar accident happened to the engine on passenger train No. 1 at McArtbur junction. As the train was speeding along through the darkness the engineer and fireman were startled by a crash in front and then the headlight went out. They thought at first that a stone had been thrown into it, but an investigation showed that a big crow had flown straight into the light, shattering the glass. The light threatened to explode and finally burned out. The crow, which had broken its neck, was fished out in a badly singed condition and was hanging up in the roundhouse tbis morning.
