BEAUTIFUL PRESENT.

The Business Hen of the City Pre.

sent nr. A. F. Ramsey With a Diamond Ring.

The notes of the band on Thursday evening was the signal for over 200 of the most active business men of the city to fall in line and march forthwith up east Main street to the residence of A. P. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey, who has the interest of the city at heart as much as any man in it, had been conspicuous and energetic in working to get up our street faihad spent much of his time and means in aiming to make it a success, Citizens were well aware of thiB and tophow their appreciation of his work in the matter determined to present him with tomething beautiful and durable as a mark of esteem in which he is held' Arrived at the residence Mr. Ramsey met them at the door, inviting all to come in. ilo was soon made aware ot the mission of the crowd by request of Finley Mount that he step up and face the crowd, which he did. Mr. Mount made a neat and graceful presentation speech on the occasion, refering to Mr. Ramsey's work in getting up the street fair, and was frequently applauded for his felicitous remarks. The present, a riqg, was then handed to the gentleman thus honored, who replied briefly and pleasantly, thanking all for their esteem and well wishes toward him. The ring is a very tinegold one into which is set a solitaire diamond. The crowd adjourned after a pleasant hour spent with Mr, Ramsey and family.

The Festive Ike Returns.' Ike Neighbors, who, it will be remembered. was arrested here a couple of weeks ago and transported to the capital of Benton county, on a charge of stealing a soul-spliting cornet horn, $60 in cash and some wearing apparel, is again v. ith us. Ike says the parties who arrested him were not even officers of the law but juRt common every day citizens, and that the court refused to recognize his arrest because his persecutors could not make a case against him. Ike is warm under the collar and swears ho will make somebody sweat for causing this stain upon his heretofore immaculate character.

BIO CROWD

From Ladoga Attends the Cemetery

Fence Trial.

A largei number of persons were in at' tendance at court on Thursday from Ladoga and vicinity as witnesses and spectators ht the trial brought by AI. Hurst agaiet the directors of the Stoner cemetery. This is the same trial or an Outshoot from it in which Ballard, PelTley and Hurst were arrested for removing a fence from said cemetery. Ballard and Peffley were indicted, but Settled the trouble by compromise. Hurt acted only, it was shown, at the instance of the other two men, and was not indicted. Hurt fterwards brought BUit against the directors for 810,000, alleging that he had been greatly injured by them, suffering anguish of mind and great humiliation. This is the

now in court.

"Shanty Town."

Coming down to solid facts "Shanty Town" is a musical farce comedy for laughing purposes only, with a well conceived and original plot that is told in an interesting manner. The play was written for the sole purpose of driving dull care away, and taking the attention of the business man from the office for a brief time and put him on good terms with himself. The "interruptions" or interpolations in the way of songs and dances occur naturally, and give the spectators a short relief from almost constant laughter as the author does not desire to be held responsible for any demises resulting from hysteria. As a learned counsel might remark in addressing a jury "Shanty Town" may be summed up as follows: Two big shows in one, the play rewritten and revised by the most popular farce comedy writer of the day and a cast of players beyond criticism. Mr. Robert Fulgora, the manager of this superb attraction has provided a car load of special scenery and new effects for the production which will be seen at Music Hall, Wednesday night, Nov., 23.

The Gas is Low.

Nobody disputes that. The mass meeting at the court house Monday night) demonstated that many people ,-re "warm under the collar" although other portions of their anatomy might be freezing. Everybody present blamed the gas company. May be they deserved, it and may be they didn't, we know not. But we do know that no similar meeting will ever be called to "kick" against the "Hobce" cigar, manufactured by W. A. Muhleisen. There is but one opinion in regard to it. It is the best article any smoker ever used.

Is Tired of Business.

Lydia J. Myers has brought suit for divorce from her husband, Harry Myers. In her complaint Lydia says they were married in 1891 but that Harry was not huge success from the start and unlike wine, the older he got the "weisser" he became. She alleges he abandoned her and accuses him o' associating with females of questionable character. In addition to a divorce she asks the court to restore her maiden name, Lydia J. Petro.

A Poetical Gem.

Below we reproduce the latest effort of James B. Elmore, the poet laureate of Ripley township. It was read by the author at the dedication of the new school building at Alamo, last Sunday, and is a gem of the purest ray:

THE GERM OR NUCLEUS OF ALAMO.

Amidst forests and vines of a golden hue A mixed population co-mingled They tugged and hauled their baggage through,

And lived in huts board shingled.

A string and a latch was the bolt of the door, Which was made of oaken 6labpuncheon, While the earth or rude timbers served as a floor,

And corn bread with dried venison made tl em a luncheon.

But the woods disappeared before the strong arms. As tne strokes of the axmen were falling. And thus there appeared these beautiful farms,

An honor to those of their calling.

But they needed a town where they could go And buy of those things mostly needed, So Samuel Truax and William Boice christened our Alamo,

A beautiful place now conceeded.

In honor of Davy Crocket our town was BO named, Who poured out his life's "blood when old and quite hoary As a gallant swordsmen he'll always be famed

Like all our heroes he stood by old glory.

A school house was built of chinken and logs Where pedagogues stalked, beat and pounded No stydying nature or peat of the bogs,

But the old rule of three must be expounded.

Those days are all o'er of fireside lore, And tales of escapes bold and daring Those primeval times wi:l be never more

Nor the bright shining light of the clearing.

A new epoch has come with learnin' and art, With this1 structure of wisdom/fine, large and handsome, It is the soul's pride of every pure heart,

For learning is free without ransome.

The old pedagogue with his rod and his rule Is a thing of the past forever and ever An up-to-date Prof, will fill our new school,

Teaching wisdom, languages stylish and clever.

But the quaint old bell in its new tower •. exists It's peals are loud and sonorous, It breaks the sad heart of some pesimest

But joyful is the youth now before us.

The poor wooden structure with windows ot gauze Is displaced by new ones of glass, To enlighten the children has been the whole cause,

And the door-latch of wood is now brass.

The entering steps where children played Are now made of long slabs of stone It isn't the place where we loitered and stayed

When dismissed from our school to go home.

And the chopping of wood by the elderly boys To keep out the cold chilly air, Is now done away in comfort and joys

In an edifice all heated with care.

But great men have arisen o'er all of this, And have filled many places of trust, And more of like calling will not go a miss

If they but brighten and polish the rust.

Let us cherish the good and enlighten the soul, And build up a place famed for its grandeur There is no other way of attaining the goal

In that hoped for beyond in its splendor. —James B. Elmore.

New School (Building at New Ross. New Ross is to keep step with her Bister towns in the matter of modern and convenient echool buildings. Last Tuesday the county commissioners gave Trustee Minnick, of Walnut township, permission to borrow 83,500 to build a school house for New Rose, Trustee Minnick promises to erect one of the handsomest edifices in the county-

BODY TORN TO SHREDS.

John Ansberry rieets a Horrible

Death at the Plant of the Indiana

Wire Fence Company.

John Ansberry, aged 23 years, meta horrible death at the Indiana Wire Fence factory, near the Junction, Thursday afternoon, at about four o'clock.' Young Ansberry had charge of one of large nail machines at the factory which, through some cause, the became detached. Securing a the young man climbed up to main shaft, and in attempting to adjust the belt to the pulley, his arm' was caught by the rapidly revolving wheel and in an instant his body was drawn between the belt and pully. The wheel makes about three hundred revolutions per minute, and at each turn the poor boy's body was dashed against' the hangers ar.d forced between the ceiling and the pulley. The accident' was witnessed by a number of the employes and the machinery was stopped as quickly as possible, scarcely a minute intervening between the time of the accident and the stopping of the wheels, but young Ansbfrry, perhaps, never knew what hurt him. When the body was taken down it was found to be horribly mutilated and crushed to a pulp. One leer and an arm had been torn from the trunk and hurled in different directions through the work room. The remains were gathered together and taken to the home of the young man's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ansberry, near the ice plant. John Ansberry had been an employe at the factory for about six years. He was sober and industrious and held in the highest esteem by his employers. Up to the hour of going to press no arrangments had been made for the funeral.

Two In One Day,

Two suits for divorce were filed in the circuit court last Tuesday. The first to put a legal stamp on her tale of woe was Gerty Grizzle. She asks the court for an absolute divorce from herhus-. band, J. A. Grizzle, and the restoration of her maiden name, Gertrude Rigging. No one can blame her for seeking to change her name, bhe alleges that, James is vicious and depraved, that he has abused and defamed her, and is wholly unfit to wear the sacred title of husband. She winds up her complaint with the usual modest request for temporary alimony.

Esther C. Williams says that her husband, Edward, is a "booze fighter" from way bac k, and that his capacity for stowing away "tarantula juice" is only limited by his ingenious methods for securing the same. She also charges cruel treatment and thinks if any woman on the face of the earth is entitled to a legal separation that wo .nan is herself.

Some Election Expenses. The board of county commissioners was in session last Tuesday for the purpose of settling up election expenses.
