A JOKE ON THE SHERIFF.
He Went Hunting and Carried the Keys of the Jail With Him. Sheriff Bible left for Sugar Creek townahip Tuesday morning at the break of day to slaughter the luscious squirrel and bear him home in glad triumph. Unfortunately he carried the keys to the jail with him so that it was impossible for the deputies to turn the merry-go-round at breakfast time. They couldn't get into the jail department of the building, they couldn't put any one in or take any Dne out. Grant Agnew pressed his fair, sweet face against th^ cold iron bars leading into the corridor and called out to the prisoners in the cells that they should keep nice and quiet as the sheriff had gone hunting and in the fullness of time would return and treat them to stewed squirrel with noodles. The gang roared for breakfast like a cage of ravenous wild beasts and those who were in that part of the rotary facing the corridor grating had their appetites appeased by the warm hearted hired girl who fired hot biscuits and baked potatoes at them through the bars. The majority of the good people, however, chewed the cud of bitter sweet fancy and whistled heroically for hot squirrel stew with noodles.
At 9 o'clock the police called to get out a few plain drunks and the Hon. Bill George, whose preliminary for attempted murder was to have been held this morning. Two worthy young men who are serving terms on the stone pile and who were enjoying the luxury of "a day off," greeted them with derisive laughter and dared them to come on the inside. It was a great day at the jail and above the unusual din could be heard the howls of Bill George, whose voice in pitch and pathos bore a resemblance to that of a large brmdle dog shot with a paper of carpet tacks.
Society Sam.
Sam Eoach, the fascinating and accomplished valet dt. ehambre at Walter's polite training school for horses and mules, has again come to the front to relieve the tedium of a quiet summer's day. In additon to his duty as valet Mr. Roach has performed the functions of tutor and has given able
Mrs. E. 0. Paul Robbed.
The following special from Frankfort will be of interest to the friends of Mrs. E. C. Paul, who completed a visit last week with the family of Henry Alfrey:
It has just transpired that a big diamond robbery was committed here Friday evening. The jewels were the property of Mrs. Paul and daughter, wife of a former Indianabolis lumber man. The ladies have been in Frankfort several weeks, visiting with the family of H. A. Langton. On Friday evening the family, with Mrs. Paul and daughter, went out driving, leaving the diamonds,valued at $2,500, locked in a trunk. When they returned the trunk had been broken open and the precious

to the mild eyed mules in French pro fanity and English athletics. Now it so happened that Samuel carried the customs and rigorous discipline of the class room into the sacred precincts of his pleasant home and made his brown eyed wife jump about just, as if she were a refractory mule from Madison township, addressing her in the same rough manner. This sort of treatment led Mrs. Roach to tie up her personal effects in a table cloth and hie herself to the grateful shade of her father's vine and fig tree. Thither Samuel repaired himself Wednesday and leaning over the fence with a sunny smile gave his wife the somewhat indifferent, choice between coming home or getiing her throat cut. Mrs. Roach bRs complained to the police and a warrant is out for sweet S-tm-uel.
Tlie Orop Bulletin.
The weather crop bulletin for the State Fays of last week: "Slightly excessive temperature on most days, rainfall and sunshine about normal, were quite beneficial to growing crops, but the frequent rains kept the ground too wet and interrupted plowing and planting corn and farm work in general. Wheat is much improved, heading and blooming while most fields are exceedingly .good some are very bad. Oats, rye. tobacco and other crops, esoecially grass, are in very fine condition. Corn planting is completed in most counties nearly so in others the plant is coming up, growing vigorously and etands. The weather permits cultivation. The wheat harvest is near and the prospects for an average yield in most fields is good. Hay and clover will be a large crop.

Speaking of the relative merits of Atchkon and Louisville, New Albany & Chicago stock an old operated said to the financial editor of the Boston Advertiser: "If a man would give me my choice to take one hundred shares of Atchison or one hundred shares of Lou isville & New Albany, and require me to give bonds that I would hold it for a year, I would take the Louisville & New Albany in preference to the Atchison every time."

Another Richmond in the Field. A special from Washington says "There was a new entry to-day in the race for the prize of the internal revenue collectorship of the Seventh Indiaua district in the person of G. A. Conzman, Treasurer of Yigo county.
Mr. Conzman had an interview this morning with Congressman Brookshire, but did not succeed in winning that gentleman, if the effort was made, from his support of Mr. Hulett, of Crawfordsville, for the position. Senator Yoorhees, as is well known, is committed to Joshua Jump, but he is now in New York with the senate committee on immigration. Just what backing Conzman has or expects to have, is not known, unless it be the German influence, which has stood by him in his previous political contests. It may be that he expects to be a successful compromise candidate. Stranger things than his appointment have appeared, especially in view of the faot shat a well defined impression exhists that neither Jump nor Hulett will be appointed. Conzman has not filed his application yet, but that is not significant. Hulett's application has not been left at the department. President Cleveland told Congressman Brookshire that he would not take up the case before October."

The hammer caught! and 16th. on a twig as usual and the gun was discharged blowing the boy's right arm to shreds. He was taken hurriedly home and Dr. EnBminger summoned, The terrible wound was dressed as well as possible. It may not be necessary to amputate the member but even if this is ndt dona the arm will be practically useless for the balance of the boy's life.
There is a singular coincidence in the fact li.uit Dr. McLane had a son killed several rears ago in just such a manner as "Ohij" was hurt this morning. The young muu was pulling a gun through a fence when it went off emptying a charge of shot into his bowels.

A CARNIVOROUS OALF.
It Has a Pronounced Appetite For Live Spring Olnckens. George Sanford, a worthy citizen of New lioss, this county, has a peculiar calf. It hau just passed the wobblelegged stage of calfliood and carries its brindle tail with as cute an arch as any other calf. Nothing peculiar was noticed in regard to the juvenile animal until the other day, when it displayed wonderful carnivorous propensities. Mr. Sanford had twenty young Plymouth Rock chickens which had just begun to sprout tail feathers and which averaged up to the size of quails. Mr. Sanford kept them in a lot in which his calf was allowed to roam. Several days ago he was astonished on entering the lot to notice that only one of his prized young chickens was present and that that had a sort of a helpless, discouraged air. Search over the lot failed to reveal the others and Mr. Sanford was beginning to look about for a hole iu the fonce when he observed that the calf was in dustriously chewing away on something in a somewhat shameful and guilty manner. He approached and found that it was masticating one of his young chickens. Mr. Sanford grubbed the calf just as the pair of small yellow legs disappeared down its throat. The young animal's distended paunch clearly demonstrated where the balance of the chickeus had gone. The calf is now thoroughonly carnivorous. Having tasted blood it wants to chew everything alive which comes within its reach.

Wants a Divorce.
Mrs. Jennie Scott has filed suit for divorce against her husband, jaunty Lawson Scott. Lawson has not been what a good and obedient husband should have been, and that's mighty clear. He appears to be afllicted with an aggravated case ofrthe cloven hoof, and the way he has kept alive the spirit of discord in the Scott family is a matter for wonderment and questionable admiration. He abused Jennie in every conceivable way—from coming home drunk and kicking her, to the still graver offense of eating pie with his knife and pretendiug with mook gravity to blow the foam from his glass of milk. The complaint alleges that he is a drunken, jealous, savage, blooming brute and, as he is unfit to live with. Jennie seeks refuge under the sheltering roof of the grateful divorce mill which grinds alike in fair and cloudy weather, and grinds exceedingly fine.
