The Stout Case.
The Stout case.came.to a sudden termination in the circuit court Thursday. The suit was brought b,v Mrs. tstoutr vs. the children of her deceased husband by a former marriage to set aside transfers of real estate made just before his second marriage. The plaintiff claimed an ante-nuptial contract by which as a condition of marryiog the deceased she would receive a large slice of thejrealty with which he was vested. After his death she learned of this ante-nuptial transfer of real estate and that she was left property worth about $100. When the case was called the first witness to take the stand was the plaintiff. '..Objection was made to testimony, that as an heir of her husband she could not testify. The opposing^counsel argued that she was not an heir but suing for a consideration for her services under an agreement. Judge West decided for the defendants and the case '.vent out of court. The case will be applied to tin? Supreme Court.

Advice to
iConsumptivesi
I There are three great remedies that every person with weak lungs, or with consumption itself, should understand. t,' These remedies will cure about ever)' case in its first I stages and many of those
I
more advanced. It is only the most advanced that arc: $ hopeless. Even these are wonderfully relieved and life I S itself greatly prolonged.
What are these remedies Fresh air, proper food and
Scon's EiiHtisiogi!
of Cod-Liver Oil until Hypophospht^s. Be afraid of draugl but not of fresh air. Eat nutritious food and drink plenty of milk. Do not forget that Scott's Emulsion is the oldest, the most thoroughly tested and the highest endorsed of all remedies for weak throats, weak lungs and consumption in all its stages. 5oc.-atiA 11 oo ill druggists.

A Chance for Our Loafers. A T» rre Haute saloon keeper failed to ra'se enough money to pay for hie new liqur Ijcense. So he i-sued two hundied chances on himself which be is selling at the ratn of froui one cent to two dollars euch, and when all are sold he will be raffled off as a turkey orsboatt He hopes thus to raise the necessary amount. The question is what will the lucky man do with "cri i'-r" »hen he gets him. He is simply working to avoid work and will be a useless pirce of property. Here l- a chmice for S'Une of the Crawford ville loafers. There would probably be a rushing business done in chances, if there WHS any assurance that the winner could make anything on the investment. But as a piece of bric-a brae ttie averair- loafer does not come up to the aestheiic standard. If tbe loafer will agree to work for the winner, and allow the proceeds of the saie to «o to nis family, there need be no loafers in any town.
Dr. Fletcher in Trouble. Dr. Calvin Fletcher, of Indianapolis, one of the most prominent physicans of that city is now under arrest, charged with criminal malpractice and causing tbe death of Mi Laura McDaniel, of Clayton, Hendricks county. The author of the girl's rnin was Thos. Ooyle, a young attorney of Indianapolis, late aulitor of Johnson county. The victim was a clerk in a department store. Suspicion was aroused and Coyle confessed his share in the dark deed, aud implicated Dr. Fletcher. Both men were arretted and each ga^e nond in the sum of $5,000. The case is a sad one, all the parties being highly connected. The Doctor declares his ability to prove himself innocent, even after the deatt of the girl going to the Coroner and informing him that there was eomethiog suspicious and asking bim to Investigate. It, is to be hoped that Dr. Fletcher will be able to come through all right.
Where to Make Money. No onehaa ever yet accused W. Owen late Secretary of State, of not knowing a good thing when he saw it, and refusing to take it in. With the cash he buB saved as Congressman Immigration Commissioner and Sec retary of State, he has purchased 5,000 acres of rubber and coffee producing land in Mexico. Mr. Owen made speeches you will remember lauding the gold standard, and expatiating on the glorious times we would have, under it and telling how all lines of industry would thrive under the golden rays of prosperity should gold be made the standard. Yet he takes the money earned as an official and invests it in a silver country. Poor, oJd bankrupt Mexico of which we heard so much in the last two. campaigns, Mr. Owen is not consistent, he was hornswoggling the voters to whom he spoke so earnestly. But we all know that Mr. Owen knowB a good thing, and he did not find it in the gold standard country.
The Monon's Enterprise. The survey has been completed for the now branch of the Monon, as far as bwitz City. The new line leaves the Monon proper at Cloverdale and continues southernly to Lancaster in Owen county, crossing the E. & I. at Clay City, thence to Alum Cave passing through Dugger aud Linton. The road passes through boundless fields of coal and that of the very best. The coal lieldB of Owen county have never been touched except for neighborhood con sumption, but the product is as fine as the United States can produce. The branch will certainly bo a profitable ODe.
Change Of Clothes.
The Bedford X-Ray has dropped its independent clothes, and comes out adorned in all the gorgeous apparel of a fullfledged gold standard expansion Republican paper, it also changes its name to Republican, the X-Ray was too suggestive a tittle for a Republican newspaper. It is not the policy to see any further into a thing than the law al* lows, with a Republican paper. There are many things which dare not be exposed to the Roentgen rays and the dark ways and vain tricks of the Republican party belong to that class. The editor was wise in changing the name.
Marriage Licenses.
The following marriage licenses have beemsBued since the last issue. Samuel L. Rafferty and Maud G. Arnett.
Clarence D. Lawler and Catherine May Hernley. Arley Shafer and Lena Leota Miles.
Wm. M. Troutman and Harriet Couover. Urban C. Stover and Helen Brow Watson.
Wm. II. Newkirk and Olethia B. Kreiger.

The Deadly Target Qun. Some youngster, nameless here, for no one knows who it was—or it might possibly be one of larger growth— fired a bullet from a target rifle Tuesday evening which came near doing serious damage. It Btruck a window in the old Opera House block, before which Dr. Swank and Mr. McNierney were standing. The flying glass struck Dr. S. in the face cutting it considerably, while the bullet plumped McNierney in the forehead, knocking him down. The bullet was a stray shot at a sparrow, no doubt, but went off searching for larger game, and almost got it,

More Than Usual.
Indianapolis came to the front this week with three murders, Miss McDaniel, of Clayton Wm. Huff, killed by sandbaggers and robbed, and Mrs. Roshilt, keeper of the Illinois hotel, shot a jealous border. Indianapolis murderers, thanks to the pardoning board, have been getting off easy of late. It will need some hempen argument to cause a cessation of such crimes in tho Capital City.
After the Cigarettes.
The cigarette bill now pending in tbe Legislature should become a law. Heavy penalties should be attached to the sale of cigarette paper and materials for making the things. They are an abomination wherever found. The smell is vile and the effect on the smoker worse. By all means let us have legislation on tho cigarette, and then see that the law is enforced.
Marking an ^Historic Spot. A bill has passed the State Senate providing for the erection of a monument to mark the 6cene of the terrible Pigeon Roost Massacre. This is as it should be. Indiana should take some pride in her historic sites andj mark them in a becoming manner. There are several points of this sort in tbe state, and all deserving of attention. Let the good work go on.
A Yacht Sunk.
Tho people of the United States were terrified several weeks since by the sinking of a yacht on board of which was the daughter of prominent Indianian. Many dollars are sunk yearily and many lives lost through inferior cigars. Muhleisen's 1 Union made "Hoboe" is one all can rely upon with safety.
$'•5 In Stamps.
