The Cornhusker Case.

The case of Tinsley & Martin vs Michael Fruits, which is known ''The Cornhusker Case," came to a close yesterday after a two day's trial. The manner of trying the case was peculiar. Two or three years siiu-e Tinsley Martin sold a cornhusker to Michael Fruits with a guarantee as to its working capacity. After a trial of the machine Mr. Fruits decided that the machinejdid not come up to expectations, and returned it to the firm. Suit was brought by the hitter to recover SliHl) on the contract for the implement. It was tried here and the jury found in favor of Fruits. The case was taken to the Appellate Court and sent back for a new trial on a technicality.

The last trial here was most peculiar inasmuch as the regular jury was dismissed by agreement of the parties through their attorneys, Bruner, Crane & Anderson and Wright & Sellers, and the case submitted to eight of the former witnesses, four being chosen by each party. This novel arrangement was carried out and a compromise was effected, and judgment entered of ?41.37 for the plaintiff, and the costs of the former trial aharged to Mr. Fruits. It is possible that this new departure may find favor in the eyes of future litigants.

"The night tny house burned, several years ago, I was taken with shortness of brea'.h and palIpitatiou of the heart," I writes Mrs. Susan C.

"my house,

Jrarnetl

Tulloh, of Sulphur Mines, Louisa Co., Va. "These grew worse all the time, until a few months ago, when I commenced the use of Dr. Pierce's medicines. Before that I could scarcely eat anything. I

could not sleep at night, was not able to do any work, and could scarcely get around the house. 1 had given up all hope of ever getting well again but I am well again, and I give Doctor Tierce's medicines all the credit. "I took the 'Favorite Prescription,' the

Golden Medical Discovery' and Pellets.'"

Dr. Pierre's Favorite Prescription is a medicine for women only. It cures all forms of female complaint—stops back and side-ache—allays tne inflammation which causes those disagreeable weakening drains on the system promotes regularity of the feminine funca makes painful periods a thing of the past.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine for the blood, liver, lungs, and nerves. It'—-' cures all bronchial and throat troubles, strengthen weak lungs, stops bleeding from til -lungs, and builds up the entire system.

It purifies the blopd, stirs up a lazy liver, ana soothes abused, crying nerves. Neither of these medicines contains .any alcohol, whisky, sugar or syrup to preserve its properties, but both will keep perfectly in any climate.

Dr. JPierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They keep the bowels open and regular. They do not gripe.

When you ask a dealer for these medicine#—,get what you ask for. Substitutes are not as good. They are, fit best, only imitation*, and. cannot the cure# ^wrought by ftxtgenuint.

County Officers Short.

For many long years the people of Tippecanoe couiity have been burdened and ground down by overtaxation. There have been charges and counter charges of corruption and peculation in office, yet it still went on, and the office-holders fairly reveled in fat things, while the taxpayer toiled and sweat and "cussed." At last a couple of experts were called to examine the books of three or four exofficials. Rumor has it that they have found a hole which is deep and wide, seemingly bottomless into which has been drained the spare coin of the sweating taxpayer for a long time. The county commissioners now have the report of the experts, and are sacredly guarding it from the eyes of the public in order, as they say, that the accused may have a chance to compare figures, make explanations and correct the experts. This is nice, very nice indeed for the accused. Any fe low accused of crime would only be too glad of the opportunity to revise the evidence and fix it up before it went to the jury. This is an entirely new system which the Tippecanoe commissioners are working. They go on the principle that "now is the time for all us fellers to stand together." It would seem in looking over that county's history for twenty years, that the Prince of Darkness was getting even with that county by sending upon it county commissioners. In some quarters, however, it is considered good politics to stand by the fellow who boodles just because he happens to wear the party brand. It means defeat and disgrace in the end, and shame and confusion to the party who does not kick its own rascals out into the cold and cheerless hence.

Going to Quit.

After a continuous business career of 39 years, Zack Mahorney has concluded to retire from active business life, and advertises this morning that he will close out his present immense stock of house-furnishings at cost, endeavoring to clear the goods out in the shortest time possible. Zack Mahorney has been one of the strong men in Crawfordsville's business world. Full of enterprise and push, he has built up an immense, business and has sold goods to farmers in a dozen counties. He is probably known to more men than any business man Crawfordsville ever had. A born salesman he knew just how to do business, and he has been phenominally successful. He was enterprising to a degree and he will be missed here. He will continue to make Crawfordsville his home, and as he is interested in other enterprises outside of the store he will still be a factor in the city's progress, and development. Jas. Mahorney will upon the closing out of the business here remore to another city and begin a business career of his own. His place is already selected but he desires that it not be publicly announced.

Education of the Deaf.

The fifty-fifth annual report of the Jndiana Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb is at hand. It shows that since 18-14 there has been admitted to the institution 2,156 children. The institution owns property valued at §594,6S1.C0. During the past year there has been an average attendance of 308, and the cost per capita to the state has been §190.40. The children are put through a regular course of study and fitted to take care of themselves. They publish oneof the neatest and typographically perfect papers in the world at this institution called The Silent Hoosier, the work from beginning to end being from the hands of the pupils. Montgomery county has two pupils there, Lee E. Dazey, of Crawfordsville, and Perry Keys, of New Market.

Qood Reading.

The matter run under the head of "The Golden Calf" is not a patent medicine advertisement as some have thought, still in a sense it is a medicine advertisement. It is a bitter medicine, not a mixture of wahoo bark, quinine, prickly ash, yellow dock and aloes for the cure of chills, but a dose of truth, bitter truth, pungent truth, sour truth, ipecac-like truth, warranted to cure hypocrisy and misrepresentatiyn if taken every morning before breakfast.

Enumeration of Children. The enumeration of school children has been completed and shows that the city has a total of 1,713 children 855 males and 858 females. Of these there are 52 colored, 30 males and 22 females. The enumeration last year was 1,800, including 125 transfers, but those this year belong to the township enrollment and will be transferee! later on. ..

The Salvationists.

The Salvation Army held their first meeting in their new quarters in the Elston block last night. Ensign Coe and wife, of Lafayette, were present. Fifteen soldiers of the army occupied the platform and the large room was filled with interested spectators. Capt. Williams and wife, who have done such good work here, have been assigned to pioneer work in Wabash, and will hold their farewell services on next Sunday night. The army here is growing, and it is a class of work deserving far more encouragement from Christians than it seems to receive.

Suicide.

Dr. Trembly, who a few years ago resided at Mace, committed suicide a few days ago at his home in New Jersey by taking morphine. The cause is supposed to have been despondency over business reverses. A wife, who is the daughter of John Berry, residing near the city, and two children survive. Dr. Trembly was highly respected while a resident of this count}7, and his misfortune is much regretted.
