party. Our county committee should bend its energy to extending the circulation of the county party paner. Every Republican club should obtain lists of all doubtful voters, and should see that such voters are supnhed with this party newspaper. TUB JofHN.u, should be utilized first the State

The heirs of the late David O. Bible have been granted pensions amounting in the aggregate to about §2,000. Mr. Bible was a member of the 116th regiment and died 14 years ago. The pensions were obtained through the efforts of R. M. Bible and Che agency of Travis & Brown.

Heretofore the 6outh bound mortiing train and the north bound evening train have not carried mail at all and we accordingly received but one mail a day on the Vandalia line. Both these trains will now begin carrying and it will prove a great convenience.

Travis for Lieut. Governor. Past Department Commander Charles M. Travis, of Crawfordsviile, who has taken a prominent part in the encampment, has been spoken of by many of our Republican papers as a" candidate for governor. While he does not admit the charge ha is not adverse to the use of his name in connection with the sec ond place on the ticket. No doubt ho would add strength to the ticket if he should accept that place.—Fort Wai/nc (hizclla.

Bad Runaway,

Will C. Loop, of Mace, attended the Democratic convention Saturday and met with a bad accident on his way hom_. Ho had gotten as far as the old fair ground when his team of colts took fright aud ran off, throwing him out and breaking his leg. Tho horses then ran on until the spring wagon was demolished and his load of flour had whitened the highway for some distance. Loop was carriect on home after his leg had been set.

An Important Decision.

There was an interesting question decided in the circuit court last week by Judge Harney. It seems that Isaac Davis had a rail pile burned by a spark from a Big Four engine? and brought suit for damages. He failed to get along with one lawyer and then employed John L. Slirnm making a contract with him that if the case wore lost Shrum should pay half the costs and if it were won Shrum should receive onethird the damage. The contract came out in evidence and Kennedy & Kennedy objected and moved to dismiss the case as Messrs. Davis and Shrum were guilty of champertous in making such a contract. On Friday, Judge Harney overruled the motion arid an appeal will be taken to tho supreme court, if Davis wins his case.

Fountain County in the Throes of a Teachers Scandal. Special to The Journal.

Him.snouo, April 10, '92.-On March 3rd the examination for township graduation was held in the public school building at this place. The examination was conducted by C. R. Walker, township principal, who previous to the day set for the examination, opened the list of questions, which is against the laws, and had some more printed. Thero were thirteen applicants and it seems that such an excellent grade was made by all that the County Superintendent thought that the case would stand an investigation. Accordingly Mr. Myers, Fountain county's excellent Superintendent came over and learned the facts in the case, after which he refused to grade a single manuscript and to-day (Saturday) he is holding another examination. The case is attracting considerable attention nnd causing no small amount of comment. Whether it was Mr. Walker's ignorance of the law or his desiro to aid .someone in passing is unknown.

A TERRIBLE RIDE,

Two Children at the Mercy of a Runaway" Team—Both Hurt, One Will Die. Friday evening the hired man of John Cowan, who lives in Union township near Coal Creek, hitched up a young colt and drove away with Mr. Cowan's two boys. Tho colt was quite skittish and soon ran away. Tho hired man was thrown out but the colt ran on. In Bime unacountable way the lines got wrapped about the neck of the oldest boy, who was only eight years old. He was hauled from the vehicle and dragged over tho rough road for a distance of over a hundred feet. The other boy, aged live, was also thrown out and badly hurt. Dr. 01 in, of Elmdale. attended them and pronounced their injuries of a very serious character. The oldest boy will hardly recover.

District Lodge Meeting.

One of the most profitable and entertaining meetings of the Good Templarc was that of the Fifth District Lodge held in this city on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Quite a* number of delegates were present who took a lively interest in the proceedings. A great deal of the business done was of a private character, but good results.will occur from it. The public meeting held on Wednesday night was an interesting and pleasing one. The Juvenile Templars, together with Miss Mabel Matthews, delivered amusing and pathetic recitations and dialogues, while I. S. Wade, G. C. T., of LaFayette. Rev. D. L. Vandament, D. C. T., of Bainbridge, and G. W. Paul, of this city, gave forth their ideas in stirring speeches, and each one commanded tho undivided attention of the audience present on that occasion. .The last meeting was Wednesdav night at which T. J. Lee, Grand Secretary, of Logansport, made the principal address, who was followed by each member present with a short talk upon the subject, "Why I am a Good Templar." Much good it is believed will be the result of all the meetings. The next meeting will take place on July 27 and 28, tho place to be dee ded by the District Executive Committee. The representatives of the several lodges expressed themselves as highly pleased with the hospitality of our people and are only awaiting an opportunity to reciprocate.

Another Prohibition Mass Meeting1. Another great prohibition mass meeting was held on April 15 at tho Ballard law dispensary. When the great throng was silenced Dr. Griffith nominated T. E. Ballard for chairmen and T. 15. Ballard nominated Dr. Griffith for Secretary. The business of the meeting was then stated and it proved to bo the nomination of candidates for the offices of Mayor and City Clerk, tho gentlemen previously nominated having ungratefully flown the track and thrown mud in their drivers' faces. The convention put their heads together and Mr. Ballard finally announced that he would run for Mayor if the good doctor would run for Clerk. Some one then tossed si copper for choice of jobs but this is probably a mean lie. Anyhow they fixed it up some way and then these two good gentlemen went home. Before Mr. Ballard locked up, however, ho went and reversed tho motto on the wall which read "where two or three are gathered together," etc., so that it read ,'In God we trust, ali others cash."

A Bloody jturht.

Bill Burris, a grocer of Now Richmond, and John Foster, a horny handed son of toil of tho same place, indulged in a mix on April 15. It all resulted from the grocer refusing credit to John's wife. Gallant John decided to resent this insult and did so with a stone wrapped up in a handkerchief. Burris soon recovered, however, and made John Foster wish he had never been born. Blood flowed freely and it was five minutes before friends could separate the men.

The same judges who acted in the afternoon again retired and during their deliberations some volunteer speakers of rather tender years but universal talent, were introduced and relieved the period of suspense. The prizes were similar to those of the afternoon and were awarded aa follows. First, May Fullenwider, of Brown second, Minnie Wilkinson, of Ripley third,Sarah Armentrout.of Union. Miss Fullenwider, who tvon, labored under tho disadvantage of having to speak the pame declamation with which the programme was introduced but her excellence and lack of affectation were so pronounced that she was an easy winner. The contest was quite a success and fully up to the standard of previous years. -w

Unfortunate Cranes.

Joe Crane, who lives near Portland, this county, has an occasion to change his bill of fare during the past week. His entire family have also flopped. Some time ago Joe made a barrel of sorghum molasses, which he allowed to remain out of doors with the barrel bung out. The molasseB, following the laws of evolution, finally turned into candy. One day last week Joe dug some out with a spoon and put it on the table for dinner. It was palatable yea it was delicious—so good, indeed that they concluded to make a run on the barrel. They must have it three times a day until it was all gone, and armed with a spoon and the biggest platter on the premises, Joe tackled the congealed sweatness for supper. He saw sticking out of tho bung what he supposed was a sliver from the barrel, but when ho pulled on it he discovered it was a tail with a good sized rat attached to it. He kept up the investigation until ho pulled out four large, sugared rats. They had crawled in to get a taste of molasses, got swamped and turned the contents into a Chinese collation. Sugared rats are all right about Christmas time but just now are unseasonable and after the family had quietly given up their dinner and announced that supper was a meal they never did enjoy very much, the candy stand was buried out of sight. But the memory lingerb btill. .illicit Ledger. ?&•

Gilbert Gray, of Walnut township, is announced in to-day's JOUKNAL as a candidate for Representative before the Republican convention to bo held in this city on May 7.

It was a pleasant day and the Democracy was out in force as were tho candidi of whom arose at. an early hour and met the incoming delegates and began work with a zeal worthy of a better cause. Up until ten o'clock tho work

WHB

hot and heavy and when the

hour for convening came the court room was filled with a confused and befuddled set of delegates all of whom had but one clear idea and that was that several persons wanted ollice and wanted it bad.

Chairman Johnston called the meeting to order and looked up lovingly over his shoulder at the picture of Tom Hendricks, which had been brought up from the Rcrii'w office for the occasion.

The following committees were then appointed. Tho first named in each township being on organization, tho second on business and tho third on resolutions:

Coal Creek--J. Dolling, •). W. Utterback, Ben Swank. Wayne—J S. MunnB, W. J. Cord, Geo. Moore.

Ripley—Joel Dennian, II. Smith, W. W. McSpadden. Brown —Dan Swaim, J. W. Tcdd, Chas. Canine.

Scott—Will Goodbar, J. Caplinger, Dan Graybill. Union—M. E. Clodfolter and Win. Smith, Alf Lookabill and Win. McMaken, Tom Lynch and G. D. Hurley.

Madison—Sam .Thompson, Mike Woods, J. T. Vanscoyoc. Sugar Creek—J. K. Parkoy, Oth Long, Stuart McGuire.

Franklin—Quinoy Bundy, Joe Johnston, A. Elmore. Walnut—J. S. Johnson, Ike Todd, Tom Sutton. $££

Clark—Josephus Graybill, C. S. Stover. Chairman Johnston then introduced Claude Matthews,Secretary of State and candidate for Governor. Mr. Matthews made a rambling speech in which ho declared for absolute free trade and said he didn't believe foreigners should bo allowed to come to this country. Ho said the Republican party had ruined the country until tLe Btiilking skeleton of starvation could be seen ambling along every street. Mr. Matthews closed by saying ho was entitled to tho vote of the Democratic delegates in the nominating convention. The speaker was not applauded very enthusiastically as ho made a very tame sort of speech, but he will probably get the county's support in the convention. Mr. Matthews had hardly taken his seat when old fathor Canine, who can always bo relied upon to bob up and say "something to get a laugh on tho party, wob bled to tho front and made a motion to the effect that all those who would eomo before tho convention as candidates should bo called out and take a stand at the front whore the convention could see them. "We've seen 'em already," howled a wild looking delegate from Bristle Ridge and in tho laugh that followed the old gentleman who "pestered Vory" sat down with a dull thud and a sour countenance, while the convention adjourned to meet at 1 :H0 o'clock.

In tho afternoon at about two o'clock the delegates and spectators again assembled and the various committees reported. John S. Mtinns, of Waynetown, chairman of tho organization committee, reported in favor of .lames G. Johnston, of Walnut township, for chairman and Will Jienkle and Charley Bo worn, of tho Ragged Reubens and Swallowtails, respectively, for secretaries. Tho report was ratified. M. E. Clodfelter reported as to an order of business and .Judge Hurley as chairman of the committeo on resolut'ons brought in the usual set of paragraphs endorsing tariff reform and that arch protectionist, Thomas Jefferson, in the same breath. The silver question was not mentioned, tho convention not being in the mode for straddling.

Nominations for Prosecutor wore then declared in order and W. S. Moffett and Read Jlanna were named. Only three townships had been called when Hanna saw clearly inglorious defeat ahead of him and in a fiery speech withdrew. Moffett then received the unanimous vote.

For Representative thero were four candidates, A. N. Higgins, W. Z. McBee, David J, McAllister and James Klmoio. The first ballot resulted as follows:

At this point a gang of Swallowtails got around Jim Elmore and bulldozed him into withdrawing. The old man did not want to get out at all but tho pressure waB too much Tor him. The second ballot resulted as follows: McBee, 17 Higgins, (51 McAllister, 89. This nominated McAllister, the weakest man in tho lot, and likewise defeated Higgins and McBee.

Mr. Sparks came forward and made a few remarks. John Biblo had no opposition for Sheriff.

Some Democrat, evidently not onto the ropes nominated George Uttorlmck for Treasurer, but Mr. Uttorlmck immediately withdrew and John C. Ilutton was nominated without any opposition.

As '1 ins Jot'UNA1. has constantly predicted Wren was named for Recorder. The other candidates were Milt MeKoe, J. A. Clark and Iko Vance. Their dofeat is told as follows: J. F. Wren, 87 .1. A. Clark, II Milt McKee, 74 Ike Vanco, 3.

Robert Dunbar, of Sugar Crook, and Alien Hyers, of Ripley, were nominated for commissioners from the first, and third districts respectively, without opposition.

For Assessor thero were three nominations, as follows: James II. Rohbins, of Walnut, Sam Johnson, of Union and Cornelius Canine, of Brown. There wore four ballots taken as follows:

First- -Johnson, 51, liobbins 51, Canino (il. Second—Johnson 04, Robbins, 47, Canine 57.

Third—Johnson 00 Robbins 75 Canine 32. Fourth—liobbins 109, Johnson 54, Canine (i.

Robbins was declared tho nominee. W. Hunt was then nominated by acclamation for Surveyor and Dr. Culver for Coronor. The convention hen adjourned. i-V-yS NOTES.

Bob Osborn took it down in short hand, so ho did. Milt McKee has boon promised a deputyship under Wallace Sparks if Sparks manages to pull through. Thingb look rather hazy for Milt.

Wallace Sparks is tho only pronounced ''Swallowtail" nominated Saturday. He would give his patronage to tho Star if ho could bo olectod.

Evon tho Bristle Ridge delegation gave Jim Johnson tho horse laugh when he referred to tho "Ides of Novembor," and used "covonent" when "covet" alone would have meaning.

Poor Mr. Higgins was shelved because his enenves industriously circulated tho report that he was dying of consumption. It was the meanest argument they could have used.

Father Canine refused to withdraw his namo for Assessor, but his own township, Brown, seemed to take peculiar delight in voting solidly against the ancient patriarch.

Chairman Jim Johnson tortured the convention with tho most beastly puns he could perpetrate. When the nomination for Sheriff was made ho said the "Democracy needed a Mible." Judging from his opening speech a grammar

needed much worse.

The Doctor is Sore.

It was generally supposed Saturday that Dr. Bronattgh would be re-nomi-nated by acclamation for Coronor, bnt when Jim Robbins, of his township, was put up for Assessor, tho Doctor wan cooked and the convention nominated Culver, of Waynetown. Bronaugh got up in tho convention and said he never (lid give a snap of his finger for the office but that he had merely taken it to help our tho ticket. When I10 was kicked off, however, simply because his township had another man, Bronaugh of course felt sore and went home to New Ross chewing the rag energetically. The Doctor ascribed his defeat to the fact that he had worked against Wren and having expressed his disgust in 110 mild language he concluded with the statement that "it was one thing to nominate a man but a blank sight bigger thing to elect him." The Doctor is dead right on this point.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced incurable. Science htis proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 dropB to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on tho blood aud mucous surfaces of the system.
