W10KED WOMEN,

"Who Caused Their Amiable Husbands No End of Annoyance and Pain. Judge Harney smiled blandly over his Bpec ticlea lust Friday and pleasantly rubbed his bunds in anticipation of the joys of divorce day. Divorce day 'ulways comes on Fridaj, the same duy of the week that murderers ure hung and liquor licenses are granted. It is a very beautiful and happy custom und one ever to be honored and revered. Judge Hurney felt considerably like Santa Claus this morning und all he lacked was a team of reindeers and a bob Bled to mnke the thing complete. All the applicants entered currying their stockings in their hands and into thbse the decrees of divorce were dropped nil tied up in pink and blue ribbons. Nearly all the applicants to-day were men, the unusually large crop being due to the fact that last year was leap year, the evil effects of which are just beginning to be felt.

Francis Welch was the first man who came to the front and his face waa as long as Sport Allen's famous runs on the foot ball field. Annie, Lis wife, had deserted him and the judicial meat ax fell upon the holy bonds of matrimony, cutting them smack smooth off.

John Osborn was up with a whole bushel of assertions, allegations and affidavits against the character of Jessica, who was once his honored and wood chopping wife. She left him in the gloaming and Judge Hurney used the scissors in snipping the white hymenial ribbons which bound this worthy couple together.

Mrs. Mui'V C. Jones who was married to Frank Jones about six weeks ago was on hand telling how Frank provided but a dime's worth of potatoes as provinder for the honeymoon and how he finally deserted her coldly and cruelly. She received the customary Christmas gift and with a very pretty "thank you" faded out of the room.

Wm. Hendricks lived with LoveUa.his wife, for thirteen years in a very lovely 1 and laudable manner but 6he got gay last September and William got a di voroe last Friday. That's the diflVr ence between September and this morn ing. Lovettu was awarded §100 alimony and the custody of their child for one year when the cherub reverts to pa.

The grist is still grinding this afternoon and is grinding exceedingly small.

THE fEDEKAL GKANTTJURY.

Seven Indictments are Returned, Among Them it. B. F. Peirce. To the surprise of 11. ]J. F. Peiroe's many friends in this city the Federal Grand Jury has returned an indictment against him along with six others on the general charge of wrecking the Indianapolis National Bank. The three bank officials Indiet.ed are President liuughev, Cashier IvexTord and .Director Peirce. The four others were borrowers from the bank of large sums. There are eight counts in the indictment against Mr. Peirce. These generally may be summed up under the general head of misapplication of funds. He was a heavy borrower himself but within the last ten days he hud turned over to the Receiver of the bank property to the amount of about $70,000 to liquidate his indebtedness. It WHH generally thought this settlement would release him from the vengeance of the law. No person will believe for a moment that Mr. Peirce is morally guilty. He may be technically so, but it is to be hoped that an impartial trial will relieve him of all charges of criminal intent.

Gen. Wallace Speaks.

Regarding the ridiculouB charge of plaigarism recently brought against him Gen. Wallace made the following statement to an Indianapolis journalist: "The charge was concocted merely as a gigantic scheme to advervise Dr. Ludlow's work," said he, "and is too palpably base to talk about. I have never had Dr. Ludlow's book in my hand and of oourse I have never perused one of its pages. The same charge has been made against every author of any promnence for hundreds of years, perhaps as long as time has lusted. Longfellow W13 called a plagiarist, Lowell has received unmerited condemnation on the same charge as has almost every literary character of our country. When 'Ben Hur' appeared a minister living out in Kansas attacked me on charge of plagiarism and produoed some 400 pages of manuscript which he claimed were taken from original records in the mosque of St. Sophia in Constantinople, and which was almost a verbatim copy of a portion of my work. It happened that I was in Constantinople at the time and I at once applied to the government for a commission to search the mosque of St. Sophia in order to establish the falsity of the charge. We searched through all of the archives but were unable to find any trace of the reoords in question. Afterwards the minister was tried by his. congregation on a charge of lying and expelled from his pulpit. No if I had been guilty of plagiarism, which is a form of theft, I should think that my life had been lived in vain."

Ladoga Bobbed.

Burglars went through several stores at Ladoga last week and secured considerable small change. They wound things up by breaking into the Midland depot and hooking a lot of tiokets. They used these in walking out of town on the ties.

ORAWFOEDSVILLE,

THE CANNING FACTORY.

Some Suggestions That Seem Practicable and Worth Considering. To Hie Editor llit? Journal.

The establishment of a canning fuc tory here should meet with favor among the people of both town and country fur both would be benefited—the one in bringing in the raw material from the field, and the other in furnishing the labor in the factory. As understand it. the proposition of the Hartford City firm is to build the factory at a given sum and take a certain part of the stock. This might be a good move, but before it is accepted—if the project is worked up to that point—it would be well to inquire whether the factory could not be built and equipped for a good deal less than the sum asked by the cotnjjunv. The farmer was worked for all there was in it for Borne years by a company that went over the country building creameries for fixed sums, and we should be careful if we should conclude to build a canning factory, that that expeaience will not be repeated.

If the factory should be built I would be willing to devote ten acres to sugar corn, tomatoes and beans and subscribe $10 an ucre, to be paid out of the produce sent to the factory.

It will probably require the produce of l.J?00 acres of land to supply the factory with its raw material and if each acre contributed 810 towards the building of the factory, a very considerable part of the cost of building and equipping the factory could be raised in that way.

Another method by which a part of the cost of the plant could be raised would be to receive timber from the farmers on subscription. I would be willing to contribute something in that way and no doubt if an organized effort was made enough lumber might be obtained in that way to put up the building.

To devote 1,500 acres to intensive forming would require the work of at least one hundred more persons than would be required to cultivate them in the ordinary way.

Jt seems to me t,he views given above are practicable, but however that may be 1 give them and others may put any value them they see tit.. 8. 11 EOEFGF.N.

Will of the Late David Mebarry. The last, will and testament of the late David Mehnrry was tiled for probate today. Ethan Mc harry, George 1J. Hawthorne and Elrna C. Whitehead are named as executors, giving bond in the sum of §10,000. The estate is quite a large one and there are a number of paragraphs to the will, with one codicil. It was made in 1H!)1, and the late T. Arthur Stuart, was named as substitute executor. He first provides for the payment of ull his debts, etc., and divides his land about equally between Albert E Mebarry, an invalid son, Mrs. Whitehead, Ethan Meharry and Mrs .Lettie M. Hawthorne, all his children. The will is so constructed that in case of the death of any of the legatees their share goes to the others. The bank stock owned by.the deceased goes to Albert and Ethan Meharry, Mr«. Whitehead and Mrs. Hawthorne. Talitha A. Acheson receives five shares of bank stock Mrs. Essie Geary gets one and a half shares. Ethan Meharry and Albert Meharry each get half of the farm machinery and implements. Mrs. Whitehead and the others receive all the live stock, vehicles, etc., fairly divided. The household property goes to Albert Meharry, and to Elma Whitehead after his death. Should Ethan Meharry fail to care for A'bert Meharry properly, then all the foregoing gifts and bequests go to Elma C. Whitehead in proportion as Ethan fails and Elma fulfills the conditions of caring for him (the deceased) and Albert. Elma is to have the use of the home place during all her life, and is appointed guardian of Albert. In case of her death Lettie Hawthorne becomes his guardian. George Meharry is bequeathed the Manlove farm of 3'20 acres, and the Shawnee Mound church is turned over to the trustees of the church in case certain conditions are fulfilled. In case these conditions are violated the principle and interest involved in the original loan to the church goes to the heirs of Ethan Meharry and Lettie Hawthorne.—Lafayette Courier.

Death of Jerne Bannon.

Jerrie M. Bannon died Thursday at the residence of his nephew, Charley WilsoD, in New Albany. His body was taken to Waynetown and buried on Friday at 10 o'clock. The deceased was 80 years of age, and had come to Montgomery county in the early days. He contracted and built the old Monon depot at this place, which stands as an ancient monument to his memory. During the war he did good service for Gov. Morton in spying out the Knights of the Golden Circle and bringing them to juBt punishment. He is well known thoughout Western Indiana. He leaves several married children and a wife, the sister of Mrs. W. P. Daggett.

Job Nash's Will.

A copy of the will of the late Job Nash, of Cincinnati, has been filed in the circuit court. It distributes about $500,000 and is a voluminous document. The deoeased owned a farm of 120 acres just south of the O'Neal farm in Ripley township. This is devised to his nieces Charlotte E. Bushnell and Mary Andress Nash, who formerly lived at Lafayette.

IDENTIFIED SOME MORE.

BANKER ff1CKS, OF DANVILLE, ILLSMILES ON AN OLD FRIEND.

Paquet Refuses to Recognize His Accusers and Puts on a Bold Face.—Officer Grimes'Catch a Good One.

When Officer Grimes waded into the ruins of the Brown k. Watkms' mill and yanked therefrom Mr. Louis Paquet he didn't know exactly what a good catch he had made. Facts are coming to light, however, which prove that Mr. Paquet is a much wanted man and is one of the most successful bant swindlers in the country.

Hard on the heels of his identification by U. T. Barker, of Kalamazoo, Mich., comes his identification by bunker Geo. L. Wioks, of Danville, 111. Friday Mr. Wicks arrived in the city accompanied by detective George Gerard and they with Sheriff Davis and a JOUKNAII representative proceeded at once to the jail. There all the prisoners, including Willard Boots and Ed Brown, were called out in the corridor and lined up in a row. Mr. Wicks ran his eye along the hue and said when it rested upon !,he right man: "Ah, this is Mr. Paquet, or as I knew him, Mr. Peter Fuber." "I never saw you,''said Paquet firmly although ho was very pale.

A lively conversation followed in which Paquet denied ever having been in Duuville, 111., or having seen or heard of the Palmer National bank, of which Mr. Wicks is cashier. Later in the sheriff's parlor Mr. Wicks said to THE JOURNAL: "I knew him as soon as I clapped my eyes on nim, although he was not so seedy looking last August when he worked us out. He worlced three banks in Danville, viz: the Palmer National, the State Bank and the Second National. 1 don't, know how much he got the others for and would hate to say how much he pulled us for. The others deny getting worked, in fact, and the swiudle was never made public at all. He worked the same scheme with us that he attempted here and departed in peace on August 31. 1 knew him quite well as Peter Faber, Lint the bookkeeper paid him the money. He hud different names at the other banks. We would like to take him home with us and give hi in credentials for Joliet, but 1 can'u say just what we will do until 1 return this evening."

Paquet protests his innocence of crime outside that attempted here, but the identifications are too easily made and too positive character. He received a mei-sage Thursday from his wife telling him to come home as no one in Chicago knew if his misfortune. Detective Gerard, who has been working on the case for several months stated that the banks in numerous small towns had been swindled in the same way. At Danville Paquet was accompanied by the same red headed young gentleman who worked with him here.

Again on the Oannine Factory Interest. As this question buB been before the public for some time let us keep the ball rolling until something definite can be accomplished to give shape to a company or organization that may establish a first class canning factory in Crawfordsville. And if such a thing can be done, Montgomery county may be sure of an income of one hundred thousand dollars a year. It is an assured fact that the canning factorieb throughout the country cannot supply the full demand of the market, that a good brand of canning goods is no drag and that the jobbers are now placing their orders a year ahead. So where there is a demand that is the thing to do, these hard times, and then it is a business that will help everybody, both in town and country. The farmer cannot turn his ground to a more profitable use than raising products to supply a canning factory, for from sixty to one hundred and two hundred dollars may be realized from one acre of ground. And to supply a well managed factory it will bring into cultivation one thousand or fifteen hundred acres of land. Why not then wake up to such an interest as that? And as it has been suggested already, if such an enterprise is undertaken let us take due precaution as to how we should do it. We don't want any speculating firm to involve us into the purchasing of a plant just for the monev that is in it to them and then leave us in the hole. What we want is a man or men who can run the business, build it up from the start, ta&ing a personal interest in the welfare of the institution. And then the machinery and fixtures can be obtained in the market which is most competitive these times. No, it is the experience and practical knowledge we want at the foundation, and then build thereon. It is the opinion of the writer that this enterprise, so important, should bi looked after, and that soon and get the businees underway for work this next year. Let us have action.

THE PLAINTIFF WINS.

Mrs. Hipes Received a Judgement from the Jury lor $1,500. Thursday afternoon at the conclusion of the arguments IU the Hipes damage suit against the Vamialia Railroad Company, the jury retired, having been instructed by the court. It was 10 o'clock when they announced to the balilV that they hail made and sealed a verdict to I be rendered Friday at the opening of court. When opened this morning the verdict found for the plaintiff anu assessed her damages at !$l,5l)0. The special interaygations were to the effect that the crossing was a dangerous one and tlyit the decedent llipes knew it to be such. He did not step but looked and listened for the train as ho approached the crossing. On approaching train could be seen by a person twenty-two feet from the trcck. The jury slated on the outside that they did not believe that the train whistled at the post. The verdict was no surprise and the case will of course be appealed. Many attorneys incline to the opinion that it will be reversed in the Supreme Court, but doubtful things are verj uncertain. The plaintiff haB a much better case in the suit for damages resultant from the death of Lorena Hipes. Lorena was not driving and consequently could not have been negligent. The damages allowed here will probably be larger than in the first suit if the jury finds for the plaintiff.

MO TANA LETTER.

Mr. Kelhson Tells of Bear Meat, Venison and Cold Weather the West. To the ISditor '1 li i: Jorit.NAE.

UIIEAT FALLS, Montana, Deo. 4, 1893. You are to be congratulated in securing so many able and faithful county correspondents. It appeurs that an excorrespondent could not now obtain a heariug. It would prove an interesting scene to a Hoosier to stroll down the streets of our Cataract city these days. There are more deer and antelope and jack rabbits hanging in the show windows of the meat markets than there are hogs. Pork is more of a luxury, moie costly, than venison. But strange as it may be,we seldom lini.l bear meat on our bill of fare, though I opine there are as many of Mr. Bruin's family to spare as anv of his more fleet neighbors. Loin of bear makes a superb dish, but there seems to be a. mutual sympathy existing between the "tenderfoot" hunter und the peaceful bear which fact has destined the Jatter to a prolific and pro longed life.

Last week the wolves chased a colt out of the field into the barnyard of Mr. Healy at Sun River and killed it. About the same night a mountain lion scared nearly all the dogs in the town of Augusta into their kennels, a ball from Levi T. Morgan's Winchester finally sending him in bloody retreat. Ye'., as a rule these ferocious animals are well fed on range stock and 1 never heard of one attacking a man, woman or child, with but one exception. The Missoulian, published in Missoula county to the west, gives au account of a bear taking a child from under its mother's eyes and leaving the helpless and distracted mother to untold agony. All that could be found by the sorrow stricken father were the little crimsoned garments.

You wisely caution your correspondents to not itemize the weather, but as I am not eligible to prize winning neither am I to restrictions. Last Tuesday the thermometer fell twelve degrees in five minutes by the watch, followed by a drop of forty-five degrees in twenty minutes. Then on Friday came that queen of the breezes, the chinook from the Pacific coast, and the mercurv rose as rapidly as it hud fallen. The" joke came upon Frank P. Atkinson, president of the Cascade bank, hand in hand with the chinook. He had gone to the mountains in a sleigh, nnd fine sleighing it was in the forenoon, but the snow dieappeared at the command of tLechinook, lasting no longer than a dew drop at noontime in summer. Mr. Atkinson and his Bleigh were hauled in a distance of thirty miles.

Some Hoosiers seem to think that all the vacant or public land is taken up in this State. The Jllmsiiiiliuii gives an account of a hunting party going out from Missoula, at which place there is a fort and a portion of the U. S. Army. The commanding officer's son was in the party and they got lost in a blizzard and wandered round till found by a party of searching soldiers. They "were found 150 miles from any settlement. Think of itl Lost 150 miles from a house with a lamp in its window. The cook perished in the Bnow storm. Yours for free coinage, A. T. KELLISON.

Whitlock Avenue School Entertainment. The X-inas tree entertainment given last Friday by the Whitlock avenue schools was a grand success. The large and commodious room was crowded some time before the curtain rose, and although nearly forty pupils took part in the programme they received universal and well merited praiso for having rendered an entertainment seldom equaled for a public school, and the universal verdict is that it far excelled anything of the kind ever given in the same school. The Schweitzer orchestra of the city decided to surprise eome deserving entertainment with Christmas treat ^f music and some of the patrons of the school secured their ear and heart for the occasion. The orchestra, composed of Messrs. Ohris Schweitzer, Leo Schweitzer, Sim Eldridge, N. W. Myers and Sam Kepler, camemurching in just before time to begin and played an inspiring opening piece which thrilled the audience and inspired the merry company behind the curtain. After the applause of the opening piece by the orchestra Boine one quietly remarked to a coterie of friends in the nudence: "Why, these schools must be pretty high loned for I warrant you that class of music costs them not less than Ufteen dolh.rs. It would have done the gentlemen of the orchestra good to have seen the little fairies waltzing to their music behind the scenes between the parts of the programme. The principal near the close voiced the sentimentB of the audience in thanking the members of the audience for their kind courtesy. Every pupil did his best to entertain the attentive audience and when Santa Clans came down the chimney and set his little friends to distributing the mnny ai handsome presents suspended from a handsomely decorated tree, everybody went home happy wishing that such occasions might come oftener.
