ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY.
Tore up the License.
David L. Clements is a bucolic youth who hails from the vicinity of Linden. Last Tuesda-, Davy applied to clerk Sparks jr a marriage license which was duly granted. The record shows the unfortunate lady's name as MiBS Nettie Russel and it is said she resides with her parents near Romney. Of urse Davy felt good over the approaching nuptials, in fact he felt so good that when he reached Linden, with the license in his pocket he proceeded to celebrate the occasion by getting gloriously drunk. In a little while he was wild with joy. so wild in fact that he could not contain him himself, and in bis delirium he deliberately pulled the license from his pscket and tore it to pieces at the same time shouting, "the stuff's ofi." Of course this was naughty in Davy,and when later he began to sober up he realized what a monkey he had made of himself. Instead of going boldly to his fiansee and confessing what a muss he had made of the whole affair he soi-aked out of town and up to date ha'/ nut been heard from. Of course the wedding has been indefinitely prjstpon-d, and if the lady is wise it will continue in that state.

Other.
There bave been no contests on the ocean tnis week between the American and Spanish forces of any note in particular. There has been some shelling and bombarding at some of the smaller ports on tho Cuban coast in which a few Americans were killed and wounded, but what the damage to the enemies' forces, behind fortificatiors, cannot now be known. Shells were thrown into some of their ports, their batteries silenced, and adjacent property fired but the injury inflicted is not known, but fully as great probably if not more than upon our forces.
A decisive naval contest may be expected now almost any day. Commodore Sampson and Schley are now in Cuban waters, watching closely for the Spanish fleet and ready for battle.
The Spanish fleet is under the commandof Admiral Cervera, a bold and re-ported-to-be shrewd officer. He has, at least, been smart enough to prevent our forces from knowing
juEt
where he
is for three weeks past. His fleet has been reported here and there, at Cape Verde Islands, in the Caribean Sea, at Ca.iiz, and numerous other places. He, it is reported, has a fleet of four firstclass war shipfc, two cruisers and a gunboat or two. The fleets of Sampson and Schley combined are superior to his in everything but spe^d. The Spanish vessels, it is said, can now move over the wati.T at a much greater speed than ours. Tho four regiments and two batteries composing Indiana's quota of trfop- are mostly now camped on the old Chickaa:auga battle field. Their uoxt move may be direct by vessels to the island of Cuba to particiate in the battle against the Spaniards.

Rev. Tinkham
Capt. Allen for Congress.
A movement is on fool over in the ninth district to nominate Captain D. F. Allen, of Frankfort, for congress. A mi.re popular nomination than that of the gallant captain could not possibly be made. Captain Allen can poll ore votes in that district than any other man yet mentioned in th»t connection. Arid if elected, as he doubtless would be, he would do high honor to his district as well as to the State at large. The democrats of the ninth could not do a wiser act than to nominate Captain Allen for congress. He is now in the service of his country, as he was from 1861 to 1865, but it is not at all likely that he will be kept in the camp or field longer than several months.— South Bend Times.
At the Fair.
One of the Bwell attractions at the coming fair will be Muhleisen's "Hobo" cigar. It will be in evidence everywhere. every store and stand in the city and grounds will be supplied with them. Just ask for a "Hobo." Everybody know9 what that means.

PARSIMONY
Of the Indiana Authorities Arouses
the Officers' Indignation.
Tho economy of the state in dealing with the boys ordered to the front will not be fotgotton lor many moons. Many of tbe officers of the One Hundred and Fifty eoverith, as well as the two Imtteries, wei-p heard to declare that tbey never again would enter the Indiana militia service. Fourteen dollars wiie withheld for the average officer's sword, while the officers allege that the same pattern can now be duplicated in this city for 87.50. The state authorities^ even confiscated the medicine chests, because they were the [property of tbe state, and none of them were suffered to leave camp. The representatives of the Quartermaster also carried away the battery guerdons, which will be stored away injjthe basement of the state house to molder and rot, instead of Hying in front of the battery column on the battlefield.
The officers were not notified until Saturday that they would have to surrender tboir uniforms and equipments, the tune expiring within an hour. The or two after the order had been received, and there 'vas no opportunity for them to make purchases elsewhere. Abouiphaeizine: the injustice of this demand, it is claimed that under the law governing the organization of the National Guard of Indiana the officers were allowed $350 annually for clothing. In nosinglo instance was thb money ever drawn or claimed by an officer. Much indignation is expressed not only by tho military directly concerned, but by their friends, and strong doubt is expressed if ever a guard is again formed upon the return of the volunteers.

EMERSON'S EFFORTS.j
Holds^a Note of $10,000 Against the
Estate of Ell Dick.
The suit of Emerson Ray against the estate of the late Eli Dick, to establish
a claim for
§10,000, has occupied the at
tention of the circuit court most of the week. Innumerable witnesses have been examined and considerable ill feeling wasjdeveloped during the progress of the trial.
There is rather an interesting story connected with tho case. Eli Dick lived near Tolono, Illinois, and when he died left an estate worth nearly §100,000. He had one son, and a grandson by a deceased daughter, Mrs. Richard Cording, of near Wingate, who were his only direct heirs. In addition to these there also lived a nephew, Emerson Ray. a farmer in Coal Creek township. As a farmer, the Btory goes, Ray was not an unqualified success and gave it up to go into the patent right business. While traveling in this capacity he took occa-1 sion to call on his uncle in Illinois who ceived him quite friendly. The old gentleman, wbo was quite le. ble. then informed him that it was his intention to provide for him at his death and in order to avoid tho possibility of tho direct heirs breaking tho will, thereby frustrating his planB he, according to
Ray's story, gave him his note for 810,000 with instructions that it be not presented for pament until after the do-'-nors death. Some three months later" Mr. Dick died, and as a largo portion of the estate was located in this and Tippecauoti counties, Ray went before the court at Lafayette and had an administrator appointed. 1 ho claim was allowed by that court but was afterwards set aside at the instigation of theCordings and Mr. Dick's son. The case came up before Judge West and a jury to be tried on its merits. Up to the hour of going to press the trial is still in progress.
REDUCED TELEPONE RATES.
Residence Tolls To Be $12 Per Year
and Business Houses $18.
The Bell Telephone company, which has had an office and instruments here for some years, but has not heretofore particularly sought to increase its business and patrons, proposes from now on to make it warm and interesting for the home company. An agent, J. A. Shopler, has been located here by the company. The company is to connect with distant points by long dietance lines. The rates of the home company are $18 per year for residence telephone service and 830 per year for business houses. The Bell company will start with a rate of S12 per year for residences and $18 per year for business houses, a big reduction by the way, and which without question will attract patrons to them,
Charley Is Free
j.he divorce suit of Charles Edwards against his gay and festive better half, Leota, came "up in tho circuit court Thursday morning. Leota had filed a cross complaint to Uncle Charles' complaint but when her inning came she didn't oven go to the bat but flunked in the most approved fashion. The court heard the old man's tale of woe, including a graphic description of the memorable bridal tour to the wicked city of Chicago, and then granted him a divorce.
