SHOT HIMSELF
The Thorntown Murder Turns Out
To Be Suicide.
A special from Thorntown says: "Kirl Matthew-, the mailt operator of Th rntown Independent Telephone Company, confessed to-night that ho shot himself in the telephone company's office, at four o'clock this morning, and thon gave a wild alarm that a robber had assaulted him. The strange case has caused more excitement all day in Thorntown than anything since Dewey Sunk the Spanish fleet in Alaanla bay.
All day the wounded man lay on his bed of pain while the officers were searching for clew:. Everything pointed to the guilt of the operator, but in the excitement and the desire to avenge the attempted murder the telephone company offered 8100 reward, and the town trustees authorized another 8100 reward l'or the arrest of the robber. The burglar story was discredited from the start. Matthews claimed that the fellow was four feet away when he fired the second shot yet Matthew's shirt, where the ball entered, is powder burned. Some of the sheets missing l'rom the telephone ledger, which Matthews says the robber carried off, are said to have been found in the stove and partly burned, as if some one had an object in destroying them. Two Thorntown citizens wereon the streets in the vicinity at the time, one in front and the other at the side of the building. They heard the shot, but saw no one leat'e the building. Matthews described his assailant as being a tall, slender man, who was dressed in light pantaloons and dark coat, and had red hair. Matthews is the son of one of Thorntown's most prominent citizens, aud the affair has caused intense excitement. Matthew's confession simply verified what was suspectedThe cause of the shooting is said to be known to his friends, but it has Dot been made public.

Crazed by the War.
Frank Vaughn, who has been working for Albert Luse. at Wesley brooding over his brother Harry's going to war, has become deranged and offers a case for pad reflection. He has blamed himself for his brother's going to the front, thinking that bad he urged him not to go he would have remained at home, and this with the reports of the loss of life in the daily papers have turned his mind and he threatens self destruction. Ho was taken to Crawfordsville Wednesday where the change is hoped to make him better, but grave fears are had that such will not result. Frank is a noblo young man, honest and industrious and his many friends regret to hear of his sad condition and all hope for a speedy recovery.—Waynetown Dispatch.
Having a Boom.
The best evidence that Crawfordsville is returning to her old time business vim and commercial success is the fact that her business men are filling the newspapers with large and attractive advertisements. The county eeatie having a boom.—Ladoga Leader.
Rooms Rented.
V. Q. Irwin|has rented rooms for occupancy in the Ramsey block, on east side Green street, A room in the same block has likewise been rented for the use of the city school directors.

Cory at Kokomo.
The fight between Ed Cory and "Bt" Robinson, which was billed to come off at Kokomo Ust Friday en-Wl, as usual, in a gabtesf. Speaking of the affa the Tribute says: ''The big lliing of the evening was next commenced and Ed Cory, the -t particular darling of the bttgar ('reek valley, strode into the ring with his lightin' urin and characteristic swagger. He looked big and good for hard work and his appearance promised first-ciass sport. A painful wait of Hf teen minutes followed, occasioned by Robinson, advertised as jmt 'pinin' for a poke" at Cory, failing to snow up. Finally 'Kid' Henderson stepped to the ring side and announced that Robinson said (here wasn't money enough in .sight and refused to go on unless the swag was increased. Some one started to pass the hat but at the first jingle of coin Robinson, who was 'skeered ghost white,' took down the back stairway at double quick and it is to be hoped is running yet.
In order io keep the receipts a hippodrome go was arranged in which Cory went on in two-round goes against Sanders, Henderson and Kerwin. lie showed splendid form, was received with favor by the crowd and would no doubt, if given the opportunity, have beaten Robinson like a carpet."
Supreme Court Decision.
2,512. Tinsley etal. vs.Fruits. Montgomery C. C. Reversed. Wiley, J. 1. A counter claim must state a cause of action in favor of the defendant and agHinst the plaintiff growing out of the subject matter alleged in the complaint. It is in no sense an answer, need not state a defense to the complaint and will be insufficient for a counter claim if it states only such a defense. 2. Where the great preponderance of the evidence in a suit on a supposed parole warrautly was that defendant negotiated a sale of property as the agent of another with whom the purchaser made a written contract by which the real seller warranted the property and the rest of the evidence could be reconciled to this view, it was reversible error instruct the jury that if such pretended agent sold and delivered the property to the purchaser, he is estopped from saying that he did not sell or that he was not the owner of it, and if they did not find they should disregard all evidence tending to prove that he was not the owner.
Foster's July Weather.
About the 3d and ith will center a very warm wave with low barometer, and many summer storms. The last half of June and most of July will fall in a Venus equinoctial period. From the 7th to the 11th falls a regular storm period. During this period another very warm wave will pass over the land aud numerous blustering electrical storms will occur. As a rule cooler weather will follow the storms of each period, aud fair weather with increasing warmth will open the periods. Govern your business plans accordingly and you will be the gainer. Reactionary disturbance will be central about the 14th to IGth. The 19th to 23il constitutes a marked regular storm period central on the 20th. Storms as a rule form in the west during the first half of the periods ard make their transit across the country eastward during the last half. On or next to the 2Gth or 27th look for wanner, low barometer and reactionary disturbances. A regular storm period is central on the 31st. The combined Venus end Mercury periods in July will intensify the natural tendency to great heat.
Prof. Milford Heard From.
Prof. Milford, of the Wabash college, and a party of canoeists, are floating down Sugar creek this week and will go on as far as Montezuma.

Co. I Waiting Anxiously.
The members of Co. I are anxiously waiting the president's third call for troops. In the next call it is estimated that Indiana will be allowed four regiments in which case Co. I is sure of a place.
Republican State Convention.
The republicans will hold their State convention 011 Wednesday and Thursday, Aue. 3 and 4. The idea of consuming two days for the convention is a new departure, but a most commendable one. The first day will be used in organizing, adopting a platform, etc., and the other for making a ticket, thus avoiding a long continuous session which frequently runs way into the night.
Dr. Tanner, the noted faster, is again with the Sterling remedy company at Indiana Mineral Springe.
WILL HOLD OVER.
The Trustee and Assessor Law HeU
by the Supreme Court to be
Valid.
1. Act 1(07. page (if. postponing the time oT electing towm-hip trustees and a.s-i shois until Novembi-r 1!)j0, is constitutional, 2. I he legislature has entire power not only to tix such time as it choosis l'or electing township officers, tint may under the constitution, provide for appointing such officers instead of electing them. •1. All presumptions must be indulged in favor of the constitutionality of law, and the law stricken down only Case it is cleai ly opposed to 60tne provision ol tne constitution. 4. 1W poning the election of successors for certain officers does not nee essarily include the extension of their terms beyond the constitutional term of four years, unless by virtue of the constitutional provision that an officer shall hold until his successor is selected and qualified. •. 1 hat which results directly from the provisions of the constitutional itself cannot be unconditional. 0. uuge, Hackney dissents on the groutid that the legislature cannot do lnuirectly what it is forbidden to do airectly, and therefore could indirectly extend trustees' terms beyond four years.
The Dog Tax.
OB
REVIEW.
The dog tax law as at present administered 6eems very unjust in its operation toward those upon whom it is enforced. Large numbers of men whose entirely earthly possessions would not auiount to $50 nave within the past few days been fined in various amounts which with costs foot ap from 88 to 812. Many of these men havo families to support, and some are out of work, yet for the great crime of owning a harmless fiste, and which they failed to pay the tax upon, thev are jerked up and neavily fined. Aside from the fine which is generally 81 the remainder of this hard earned money goes to the prosecutor, mayor and marshal, who worked so exceedingly hard and laborious for it. The prosecutor receivos 85 on every conviction, although he is not present, and with most of the victims knows little or nothing about their condition financially or otherwise. The poor man is entitled in his toil through life surely to some luxuries even if it be nothing more than a dog. yet the law does not seem to desire him to have even this.
Trouble at Waynetewn.
It is said that the only trouble which occurred to mar the big Fourth of July celebration at Waynetown was occasion ed by Crawfordsville talent. A notorious female character of the town and a wayward young man of good family connections, became engaged in a quar rel
the street, which terminated in
the woman striking the young fellowthree or four blows in the face with a buggy whip. For this he very promptly and properly knocked her down. Bystanders interferred and sep arated them. No arrests were made but both of them shou have been run in and given stone \i 1«- scnteneces.
The City Council
May force you to build concrete walks but they can't make you etnoke a "iloboe" cigar. That isn't necessary I'eople do that voluntarily and are gak of the opportunity.
It's a Sin to Swear
But the man who through ignorance buys a roor cigar cannot be blamed l'or using the profane vocabulary occasionally. Buy a Iloboe and avoid the trouble.
