Accidenaltly Shot.

Thursday, Nov. 19, Jere Yoris and J. F. Boots were in the country hunting quails. They surrounded a covey and as the birds arose Mr. Yoris tired at them. Two of the shot struck a limb of tree, and glancing entered the left eye of Mr. Boots, who was opposite Mr. Yoris. The shot passed through the upper eye-lid and lodged back of the eye-ball. Dr. T. F. Leech removed one of the shots, but the other one could not be found.

Quod erat uon Demonstrandum. Judge Dov 1 is rapidly becoming a terror to the evil-does. This is just as it should be. Crime should be made ooions in this locality.—Frankfort Xeics.

It is a matter for congratulation that Clinton county has at least awakened to a sense of tbe situation and begun to deal out justice. Tadie King is there awaiting atrial and if Clinton wishes to hold good her boast, she would broil his bacon quickly over a very hot lire. A practical demonstration goes a long way toward establishing belief.

Why We Are In It.

Mace Townsley, the Crawfordsville theatric manager, was in town last Friday, and gave us some "inside talk" about the theater business. He says that he has eeveral times tried to get good companies to come here when it was the most conv nient thing for them to do— that is, they could "split a big jump" by showing in Rockville The answer would be, "Oh, no! We don't want to make that Jonah town." This has all come about by our people refusing to patronize goou shows, while they have generally gone to poor ones. It behooves us to do something to encourage good shows. The money spent on bad shows would have given us a good standing. Rockville Republican.

St. John Turned Loose.

An associated press dispatch from Frankfort makes the following announcement concei nin the bigamy case against Dr. St. John Rosa: "The bigamy charge against Dr. St. John Rosa was summarily dismissed to-day. There was no evidence against the defendant. Mrs. St. John, who brought tho suit evidently to get rid of her aged and decrepit husband, then instituted proceedings before a commission to have Dr. St. John declared insane. This, also, was not shown, and he is now at liberty. Dr. Rosa is nearly seventy years of age. and in appearance he is much older. His wife, who married him two years ago, is thirty years his junior.

Progress on the Gas Line.

The work on the gas line between here and Sheridan is progressing most satisfactorily. It is now settled that unless some great and unforeseen emergency arises the gas will be burning here by December 10. There will be at least five wells ilowing when the gas is turned on and probably seven. Three more will be bored and used as a reserve. The trenchers are as happy as larks up about Sheridan and none of them have the black tongue as yet, although several have been down under the influence of the red eye. The management are highly pleased with the manner in which the work iB progressing, and before we know it we shall be able to discard wood and coal, let us hope, forever.

What Did the Girl Think?

November 1!) Joe Taylor received a letter from a potato dealer in another town which was a puzzler. It started out with "My Darling Bess," and proceed to tell him to build a good fire in tho grate and trim the lamp as the writer would be on hand Saturday night. It was added that "Bess" need not be PO particular about the lamp as they really wouldn't need any light on the subject at all and could do just as well without it. There was much more talk of like nature but nothing in reference to a certain car load of potatoes. Mr. Taylor telegraphed for information and this naming received answer stating that his agent had put Taylor's letter in his girl's envelop, etc. It was the old, old story and tho price of the cigars all around come with it.

Somebody has played a mean joke on Charley Ross. Charley is one of tho foremost church workers in Crawfordsville, and is always on hand early and late. He does not take part in light frivolous amusements, and, in fact, is inclined to believe that tho world would wag just as well had tliey never been brought into it. Imagine his disgust, therefore, when he received a letter from a dancing master in Aurora, 111. Tho letter went on to say that the writer was anxious to come ho re to open a dancing academy. Me enumerated a three page list of the fancy steps which he taught to perfection, and closed bv stating that he had been referred to Charley as a dancing export, who would give his whole soul to getting him up a class. He wished his co-operation and would make it all right with him. If it were summer time Charley couldn't hear the little birds sing and as it is his Christmas goods appear as hollow mockeries.

The Red Men held a grand pow-wow at their camp Nov. 1!), and over «nehun..red and twenty-five brave bucks and their squaws partook of a bounteous repast which had been prepared under the spreading hornet's nest. The viands were delicious and the aborignes did them ample justice. The guests were all entertained and tho evening pleasantly passed by various amusements Ail pn.sent were highly pleased and will await with glad anticipation the next grand pow-wow and green corn festival. The Red Men as entertainers are just about the stuff, and when game is as plenty as it is this fall there is pretty certain to be a feast on the reservation.

One of its fealures in 1892 is to be a series of papers on "Ilow to Succeed in Life," and young people are encouraged to put questions to the Tribune, which will be answered bv Mr. Ilorr. Tho Tribune is a good paper to have in addition to your own local paper. See prospectus in another column.

HIS WIFE'S FATHER.

Joe Strausrhn, of Wavelaml, Literally Outs His Father-in-Law to Pieces. Special to the Jmirnul:

WAVHI,ANI, Ind., Nov. 23. -Wavelaml was the scene of a most bloody far 'lv fight last Saturday evening and tho indications are that it, will result, in a murder. Pony Moody's saloon has not begun operations but, in some mysterious way a few of the very knowing ones are able at tunes to get, a dram or two. T0111 Hoss is exceedingly knowing, or rather was until Saturday evening. During the day tho old fellow, who is "the village blacksmit h,'' got hold of several bottles ol inspiration ami lost no time in concealing the same under his vest. Although under vest the inspiration soon went to Ins head and he became inspired with the idea of keeping up a row with his son-in-law, Joe Straughn. Joe was also drunk and disorderly and prepared

-•*.: The Joel Block Fire. In your account of the Joel IJIock lire in your issue of Nov. 18, 1 noticed that you attribute the negligence of throwing the match back of the stove to John Bischof, and by so doing I think you do him great injustice. The very strong presumption, by those best informed, is that. John lost, his key earlv Tuesday evening and that it was found by a lady and gentleman and that they entered his room, lighted the gas and threw the match that did the mischief hack of the stove. It is positivelv cortain that John was not in his room from 8:30 o'clock that evening to 7:30 o'clock the next morning. This fact. is well known, and there is the best of evidence that he was not, .11 his room at all that evening and hence could not have lighted tho gas. So I tinnk you do him great injustice by attributing the negligence to him. I hope you will print, this correction in justice to the gentleman. Joel Blockers are in favor of justice, though the heavens

all emergencies. When

these two worthy gentlemen came together no one else was present so it in not, known exactly how the row began. It, is evident that, the row began, however, as about eight o'clock Mr. Doss staggered into tho oflico of Dr. K. K. Straughan, strongly resembling a man who had panned through a clover huller. He was simply cut to shreds. One of his eyes was about cut out, by a vicious slash acroBB his face, another deep gash extended from shoulder to shoulder across his chest, while there were thirteen deep cuts and stabs below tho belt. Several of these are dangerous and the probabilities are tlioy will provo fatal. The wounds wore gaping in a most ghastly manner and his clothes wore drenched wore blood. Dr. Straughan at once proceeded to dress the injuries and in some of tho stabs could easily insort, his linger, so deep and wido wore they. The cutting had evidently boon done with a pocket knife which the would-be assassin is known to possess. Everything possible was done for tho injured man and this morning he is resting as easily as possible for a man cut up in so frightful 11 manner. Joe Straughn tho assailant, has not yet been arrested but, walked about the streets yesterday unmolested. It, is saiil that in case of his father-in-law's death he will put up tho plea of self defense. Tho affair has caused considerable excitement hero where the parties are so well known. Straughn is a laborer 011 the Midland railroad and possessed of a rather odorous reputation.

Indiana's Educational Display. The plan to raise funds to make a display at tho World's Fair, of tho Educational interests of this State, was dovised by Mrs. S. S. Harivtll, or Brookvillo, and has been approved by all the loading educators of this State. The plan in detail is as follows: The fourth Friday in November, 1891, and tho 11th day of February, Washington's birthday (old style) 1892, are to bo sot apart as exposition days, on which a pragramme of patriotic, historical and social exercises iB to be rendered by the school. For the lii'Bt Exposition Day it is suggested the school take up the Btudy of the life of Columbus, his voyages and discoveries, also patriotic songs, recitations and Tacts by the pupils and teacher, relating to tho Columbus Exposition.

For tho second day let tho oxorcises be much of tho same character—historically treating of tho war of Independence and progress of tho Nation.
