There is a gentleman residing in the west etui who has a largo picture of his favorite candidate adorning his parlor window. It wan noticed by tin- neighbors that it was always taken down on on Saturday night, to lie replaced Monthly morning. Inquiry developed the fact the gentleman did not wish to carry politics into Sunday. Thin is drawing the line a little closer than it was ever drawn in Orawfordsville before.

An Appeal Tor Wabash.

Sunday morning Dr. Kane preluded his sermon at Center church with an appeal in behalf of Wabash college, l.le stated that the trustees had but, live weeks left in which to raise the 880,000 necessary to secure the Yandes endowment and that they were still short about §20,000. He urged all persons to interest themselves in behalf of the college and assist in the raising of the sum.

Ah There!

A gentleman from Ladoga had occacasion to go to the Orawfordsville telephone exchange a few nights ago. He found the door locked but it was soon opened and lie entered. Inside were about a dozen young men and boys on their hands and knees, forming a circlc aroung a well worn spot, in the carpet. They treated him very courteously while he used the 'phone, and he is sull undecided whether it was a salvation army meeting or a game of craps in progress.

A Grand Rally,

Years hence when the smoke o1' the political conflict shall have rolled away and we stand in the calm clear sunlight of peace and Republican prosperity, the gray haired grandeire shall take his lisping descendant on his knee and tell him of the great Democratic rally at Orawfordsville on November 4, 1H92. He will tell the child of the departu of the Kentucky Colonel for Greencastle leaving the multitudes that hungered for liis words, unfed. He shall 1 ell them of the 6peech which Tom Hudson made and of the wild horse laughs he received. Then as the blue eyed child looks wonderingly up into his face he shall tell him of how BillJohnston arose at the end of Hudson's horribly hungry howl, acid with the wind meandering through his mustache read to the countless multitude a telegram purporting to be from John E.Lamb regretting li's inability to be present in the evening. Then he shall describe how the fifty angered men who had driven in through the cold to partake of a good square meal of shought manna went out of the court house muttering curses not loud but deep. Then as the last rays of lie declining sun kissed the marble studded cemetery on the hill the old man shall

AfJ ITS FAMOUS PROCEEDING.

The Democratic Managements Apes the Artful Dodger and Ones "Stop Ttnef!" On Saturday afternoon after business hours,a complaint against.1 amesC.Knox, of Ladoga, sworn out by John Linkenhoker, of the same place, was brought to Crawfordsville and filed. The plaintilT asserted that tlc defendant had oflered him i?10U to go out of the county with as many other Democrats as lie could induce to go 011 election day and refrain from voting. This, so the complaint avers, occurred some time lust October, and he accepted the defendant's offer. On Saturday, for some anso unknown, and under what is known as the McCabe law, he sued for :$0() damages, the limit allowed by the statute, together with attorney's fees. in was insisted upon by the persons bringing in tho complaint that the defendant be arrested tit once. According-

Deputy Sheriffs Henry and Agnew were armed with a warrant, after dark, and sent off through the mud to Ladoga to arrest a man, who till concerned knew would not think of avoiding a service. Ladoga reached Mr. Knox was apprehended find sit once gave bond in the sum of §1,000, a number of Democrats appearing and offering to lend their names to tho document. Their offers, however, were declined with thanks.

On Monday Mr. Knox and his attorneys, Crane .V- Anderson and Brush Snyder, appeared before Judge Harney and demanded an immediate trial. The attorneys of the plaint.itT, Wright it Seller anc Johnston Johnston, stated that they were not ready and could not be for some time, so tho case was postponed, to be set down with the other civil stilts. It will in all probability never be heard of again. Mr. Knox indignantly denied every allegation in the complaint, and pronounces the whole thing an unmitigated falsehood.

Jas. G.Knox is one of the most promi nent and influential citizens of Montgomery county. He has the largest hardware business in Ladoga, where his name is a synonvm for integrity and upright dealing. He is a Republican but lias takeu no part in politics at a tliie year. He is a Christian gentleman and his reputation for honesty vouched for by nil reputable citizens of Ladoga, Democrats and Republicans alike.

John Linkenfioker is a common thief He has no standing whatever, either socially or morally. His name is a bvword and a reproach to the community in which he lives. Some time since tho grand jury, while in session, found Liim guilty of a number of thefts. All except one land upon that the statute of limitation had run out) were of so petty and despicable a character, however. that the grand jury hardly thought them worthy the dignity of indictments. Moreover, they refrained from severe measures upon the plea being presented that Linkenhoker was a poor man with a large family to support. Accordingly this bad num. without shame and without self respect, was turned loose to carry on his wickedness and defame good men.

Look on this picture and then on that. Consider the characters of Jas.C. Knox and John Linkenhoker and draw your inference as to the truth or falsity of the charge. No one in Ladoga believes the charge and it is the consensus of opinion that the whole thing was done for political effect. Ft- is the old cry of "stop thief' uttered to cover the work of the real rascals. Republicans should be on their guard. The Democratic management has a iarpe amount of money and proposes to use it in a most nefarious manner. In order to hide their doings this arrest has been made, and not in any hope that the truth of the charge could ever be sub stantiated. •',••„ •-.,•«

Plants, vine's and blossoms prevailed everywhere and the scene wns a most pretty one. The gu«sts numbered nearly one hundred, and were entertained by Mr. and Mr^. Wicker in a most cordiul and hospitable inner. Elegant refreshments were served and the evening was passed most pleasantly by all who were present. Mr. and Mrs. Wicker were the recipients of many beautiful presents from their friends who retired wishing thein many happy returns of the day.

The origin of the fire is a question and various theories are advanced. Some think a opark from an engine did the work but the wind was in the wrong direction and the fire originated on the inside of the building. The theory of incendiarism seems not plausible and the hist theory advanced is spontaneous combustion. How it did happen will probably never be known.

Mr. Darter will probably rebuild on the sit/3 of the old elevator and keep up his thriving business. In his misfortune he lias the sympathy of the entire community. His business has been constantly growing and nourishing and the fire came at a most inopportune time.

Everyone has been asking who sent in that second alarm of fire that night, so we will have to tell. About the time the crowd was dispersing for home a worthy citizen with his wife in his arms slopped before the box to show her how it worked. She manifestsd considerable curiosity and stretched out her hand to examine the workings of the machine when her husband snatched her wrist exclaiming, "goodness, goodness. Agnes! you'll monkey around with

that and the first thing you know you'll

be sending in an alarm that will came the whole town to trot out here. Now, my dear, the tiling is worked very simply and iis know how 1 guess 1 can show you without startling the natives. In case of fire you pull this thing here. It don't take much of a pull to send in an alarm.but, 1 can-take hold of it with perfect, safeiy, thus. So long is I don't pull the ."

There was a peal of a bell somewhere down town and above tho noise arose the voice of a fireman yelling frantically: "What big fool jay is monkeying with that fire alarm box? Club him away!" Then there was the sound of retreating foot stops in the night.

Wabash Defeated Again

Wabash was defeated at foot ball again at DePauw Saturday by reason of the great weight of the Greencastle players. The I )"Pamv players average about 200 pounds and play a push game. Wabash could outplay them on scientific points, but her lino was entirely too weak for tho huge mass which pushed her men all over tho field. The score was 42 to -1 in favor of DePnuw, Stott scoring a touch down early in the first half after the ball had been fumbled. Although the score wtis lopsided tho game was intensely interesting, and tho Wabash players did some brilliant work. The playing of the Fry brothers and Wynkoop was especially fine and won praises from all. The DePauw team tried to run in Minor, but a protest was made and he was withdrawn. Minor was barred last year and the atteniDt to play him was the climax of nerve.

Progress at the Antipodes.

The fact that New Zealand should be the first of British colonies to confer full citizenship upon women, is another reminder of the way in which the people at the antipodes are leading progressive movements throughout the Englishspeaking world. The eight hour movement comes from Australia the Australian ballot, long established in Great Britain is now making the tour of the United States and now New Zealand, in conferring the suffrage upon women, has takon a step, which, sooner or later, England anu America will follow.

I iit '.KiO o'clock Tilly Weil. the butcher, noticed tla.nes breaking from the second story of Scott Darter's elevator tit the 15ig Four crossing of (i/ant avenue and at once turned in the alarm. IVfore the bell had sounded, however, the large wooden structure was ti niiisp of flames and although the department arrived in a remarkably short spai-e of. tune the building was doomed before water was thrown. The I

Whole boards "in flame wore lifted by the hot air and scattered broadcast all over lie neighborhood south of the elevator. Burning shingles Hew as far south as the Masonic cemetery and a number of barns were fired. Three houses just south of the railroad were also fired and it took hard work to prevent a general conflagration in that end. Goods were hauled from the houses and scattered about in reckless profusion on the ground. A freight train stood on the switch by the elevator and although the crowd worked hard two new box cars were consumed entailing a loss of ibout The elevator and its office were wiped completely out and the department worked until '2 o'clock this morning playing on the ruins and extinguishing the lire. The loss 011 tho elevator was about $3,000 and on it there was SI,000 insurance in the Milwaukee Mechanics and SI,000 in the Citizens, of Evansville. The loss on the grain so far as Mr. Darter was concerned was covered by an insurance of S'2,f)00. There was about 3,000 bushels of wheat, a large amount of oats, 50 bushels of corn and a carload of flour stored there and ali of it was lost. The wheat did not ail belong to Mr. Darter but was much of it stored there by farmers and buyers, one man depositing 500 bushels only yesterday.

Bunding, Arrested for Wliippniir Walter Britton. On Monday Charlie McAllister, who litis boon supplying Charley Petei'man's place at tho central scl ool building dining his sickness, had a difficulty with Walter Britton, the son of Joseph Hritton, the plasterer. The boy was badly whipped and wan struck upon the head bv the teacher who used his fist,. A large lump was raised on the lad's head and he with his fat her appeared before Mayor Handel and a warrant issued upon winch McAllister was arrested that afternoon. After consultation with the school board he pleaded not guilty, and the trial was sot down for next Saturday morning. The tales of the parties interested diverge.widely and are all interesting.

Said Mr. Hritton: "Two weeks ago that man gave my boy an awful threshing for nothing at all and beat him over the head until there were luinpson it as big as walnuts. 1 went with the boy to McAllister and told him to whip the lad if he deserved it but never again to use his lists 011 him. That morning Walter asked the littlo Chumasoro boy where tho geography lesson was and McAllister banged him over the head and began to thresh him with a raw hide. Tho boy drew his knife to cut the rawhide when McAllister picked up a chair and beat him down."

Mr. McAllister said: "This room is made up entirely of boys about 15 or Hi years old—some younger. Some few are good and are there because they are behind in their studies. Most of them, howevur, are incorrigibles that demoralize othor rooms and recognize no law. They tire wild and unruly and endeavor to break up the schools. The boy I whipped has bee a particularly bad. I slapped him but never even dre,anied of hitting him with a chair The boys carry stones into the school room to throw at me, and the other morning 1 took away from them enough to fill a waste basket. A teacher can nothing with the unruly* tribe and that is all there is about it. I had to be rough with the boy as he was trying to cut me with a knife."

The janitor of tho building and thr carpenters who are at, work there Kivo the room a bad name and state that the boys are most of them bad and unmanageable.

One of the youngsters who was executing a war dance in the hull just after the arrest of the teacher, stated that the boys all "had it in for McAlliBter," and intended to drive him out. "There's a bushel of rocks in there now and we were going to lay him out if he got funny this afternoon," remarked a youngster with a winning smile.

Judging frjm all sides it would appear that McAllister has a tough crowd to bald down, but has been unnecessarily rough in attempting to do so.

The Grip is Coming.

It may be disagreeable to learn this chilly, rainy weather is the the grip revels in, but it is true.

lllat

that kind Tho

several deaths occurred in New

York last week from tho dread disease is making physicians prepare for an unusually serious time with the grip this year. "One of the chief things to prevent the grip is to take good care of the skin," said Dr. Talltnan. "Another, is care of the digestive system. People should wear woolen next to tho skin from early tall until spring, and they should take a cold sponge bath every morning. That will do much to avoid a condition susceptible to the grip. Many have tho idea that cotton underwear, being less warm than woolen, toughens one'6 system and makes one hardy and robust. The fact is that cotton does not absorb the perspiration from the pores as woolen does and allows it to poison tho system. Precautions to avoid the grip are not confined to care of tho skin, however. One should •tee]) his digestive system in a healthy condition and to do that, as far as possible, vary the diet as much during the winter as in tho summer. An inactive liver is a boon companion ol the grip. During cold weather, people, especially the poorer classes, confine their diet to heart producing foods. That, with poor vegetable, which is always more frequent in winter than in summer, and a neglect to bathe often invites the grip.

John Lamb Skinned.

John Lamb, the famous Democratic ward politician and ex-M. C., got into an argument with a Republican drummer at one of the hotels on Nov. •!. The drummer was a smooth citizen and aB he had tho facts on his side he soon had Johnny "up a gum stump." Then Lamb began to bluster and finally declared that wheat had never before been so low as at present. The drummer asked Mr. Lamb if he would wait until documents could be brought down from upstairs to prove the contrary.

Mr. Lamb stated that he would but as soon as tlu drummer left the room he arose, paid his bill and silently made a retreat while tho interested audience smiled softly, oh so softly.

A Company's Ropresontatices Here im for a Location. Messrs. Levi Scott anil I'M ward Caldwell, of Fairmount, have been in tho city looking for a locotion for their canning factory. Tliev are members of a company having a factory with a capacity of 50.0111) cans per day and .ire in tho business of canning corn, peas, tomatoes and other vegetables. They had boon further west out, stopped here ar.d were greatly struck with the town, its railroad facilities and especially with the soil which is so well adapted to the cultivation of the vegetables utilized in their business. With several business men of the city they made a tour of inspection and viewed the Stephen Fields' rarm, the Wilkinson place and others. They desire (H) acres for their own cultivation and and purchase largely of others. The company does not ask to be subsidized but prefers to act independently and chose its owu place and methods of business. They will probably locate here and will bo most welcome. The town has long been in need just such an industry and it would prove to be a very valuablo acquisition in more.ways than one.

Judge Rabb Affirmed.

Fifist week, in the Supreme Court Judge Ellott handed down his decision 111 the case of the Dohertys who appealed after .Judge Rabb docided just three years ago that they should pay over to their creditors $5,877,715. The decision is against, Fisher, Marsh and Mat Doliorty. It is thought that the result will prevent all possibility of compromise in the suit brought against them by Hurley & Clodfelter although the two cases are in no wi&e related. Judge Elliott's decision is as follows:

The general rule is if a complaint assumos to state a cause of action in favor of two or more part.ios and states a cause of action in favor of part only of the parties thus joined it is bad on demurrer. Whore parties are designated as plaintiffs in the truth of a complaint in tho nature of a creditor's bill and then to a statement of tho respective claims of creditors, showing that each claim is general and distinct and there is no attempt to slate a joint cause of action in favor of those who are named in the title, tho general rule does not apply. In order to determine whether the general rule governs it is necessary to consider the general nature of tho suit and the principles by which suits of its class are controlled. 2. One who colludes with a debtor to defraud creditors is a proper party to a suit to set aside conveyances made in furtherance of the fraudulent design of the debtor. 3. A grantee of property convoyed by a debtor to defraud creditors is liable for the value of property conveyed to him if he actively participates in the fraud and subsequently disposes of the property. •I. Where a court possesses equity powers acquires jurisdiction of property held by fraudulent grantees or assignees it, will decree sale and distribution of proceeds and will protect creditors even though they wore ,not original plaintiffs. 5. A fraudulent grantee selling the property will lie held liable by equity following the proceeds in his hands or if justice requires bo charged with the value of the property.
