1-AV WALLACE AS A SHOT.

Circum-tiiiices I'mler Which 111- Acijuirefl His Accuracy of Aim.

(Jen. Lew Wallace is a (load shot with the pistol. Speaking1 of how and why he acquired such expert marksmanship. the renowned author-soldier said a few days ago in conversation with a party of friends: "When 1 was Governor of New Mexico that territory was and had been for years terrorized by bands of daring and murderous outlaws, at the head of whom was the famous border desperado "Billy the Ivid.' By virtue of my office I became this man's deadliest enemy. No man ever excited more terror along- the frontier or gave better ground for the dread in which he was held than this man. He had perpetrated murder after murder and there were few crimes of which he had not been g-uiltv. lie had openly boasted that he had killed nearly fifty men and enjoyed shooting- a man down just to see him kick.' '"I determined to rid the territory of this scourge and offered a large reward for his capture. The offer proved to be a great sensation throughout- the territory and a tempting- bait to the ready shooters and officers of the law. There were in the territory hundreds of men who accepted with delig-ht this opportunity to take a hunt through the mountains after such formidable game. Well, the result was that, after a most exciting chase, the outlaw was surrounded by overwhelming- numbers and compelled to surrender at the point of fifty guns, but only after shooting down three of his pursuers. He was taken to Lincoln county, away up in the State, to answer to an unusually flagrant murder. He was wildly enraged at having- been trapped and swore that the moment he ever got free he would ride clear through to Santa Fe, shoot me down and then gladly hang. "I knew the character of the man, and, while never dreaming that he would ever again be at large, 1 determined, in order to be safer, to begin pistol practice in case an impromptu duel should ever take place between us. I got a brace of the best pistols I could find and every morning spent an hour out in the corral firing at a mark. In a few weeks I got so I could hit the figure of a man marked out on the wall at twenty paces about every time, "Two months dragged along and one day down at Sante Fe we got the alarming news that "Billy the Kid" had murdered his two jailors, stolen a horse and had started for Santa Fe with the open threat: 'Now for the Governor and then hang.' Then I began practicing several hours every day and for weeks I was in daily expectation of meeting the ruffian. I still went about my duties, but heavily armed and with my pistols ever ready. Pat (iarrett was the sheriff to whose charge "Billy the Kid' had been entrusted. and when he learned a half hour afterward and while away from home that 'Billy the Kid' had escaped he started in hot pursuit. For weeks there was unbroken suspense, during which we heard nothing from the pursurer or pursued. They were both dead shots and there would be killing when they met. 11 was a most remarkable and exciting chase. The whole territory was deeply intent upon it and news of the whereabout of the two men was eagerly awaited. "Finally, one day there rode up to my residence a travel-stained six-footer in wide sombrero hat. mounted on a pony worn out with hard work. He got off, let his pony wander loose and came up to the door. I met him on the front step with my guns ready for instant use and asked him his errand. '1 am Pat Garrett, Governor, and have just shot 'Billy the Kid' out here at Fort Sumner." And it was true. He had come up with the desperado, heading for Santa Fe to end me, had got the drop on him and without a word shot him through the heart. I have still kept up my practice somewhat, but not under as thrilling- circumstances,"

Serious Illness of James Buchanan. James Buchanan, known throughout Indiana as the "Plan," is dying at his home in Indianapolis, with chronic heart disease. Mr. Buchanan is a, native of this county, and was raised on a farm near Waveland. He graduated from "Waveland Academy in 858, then a flourishing educational institution. He began the study of law the same year with his uncle, Isaac A. Kice, of Attica, where he remained until 1870. when he went to Indianapolis. He is married and has two grown children. Mr. Buchanan receives a royalty on a number of patents, and last year sold a patent straw stacker for $1 (SO,000. and besides this has other propetv.j.

COl'NTV SCHOOLS.

Tlu-ir .Present Conililion anil Future I'l-os-•jeets ill Some 1'iirliciiliirs.

The .January apportionment for tuition in this county has been received from the State Treasurer and is only 310.003.50. This is a disappointment, as it is $'1,000 less than the may apportionment and more than SJ^.OOO less than was the January apportionment last year. It is much less than the county put into the State treasury for tuition purposes and is only $1.41 per capita. This will undoubtedly have the effect of shortening the seven months term to about six in several of the townships. There is no doubt but that the seven months term in Franklin. Coal Creek and Madison townships will have to be cut short several weeks. This is due to the fact that the levy for tuition purposes was reduced and the tax for special school purposes proportionately increased in order that new school houses might be built.

Last year over 8-5.000 was expended in new school houses in this county and those built were generally substantial brick buildings. Most of the townships are now well equipped..with good school houses. S:g

I'nion township is probably the worst off in this regard and inside of the next five years at least eleven new school houses will have to be built. Numbers L".!, 11. and the Goben school house are all in deplorable shape and hardly tenentable. Others are in a little better condition. The erection of these new buildings will cause a heavy special tax levy and will be productive of a vast amount of howling from the tax payers.

Clark township has the best and the poorest houses in the county. She has six brick and ten frame buildings and erects a new brick every other year. The patrons where the poor buildings are patiently await their turn and some day Clark will have all such buildings. In the spring the south of Ladoga and the Stump districts will be combined and a new brick erected.

Walnut and Wayne both have good buildings, but New Ross needs a new $7,000 building such as most of the other country towns possess. It will create a wail from tax-payers there when the inevitable comes, however.

Ripley has good buildings except at No. 7. which is a tolerably fair cow shed for summer weather.

The buildings in Scott are good, but in Brown five new houses are needed at once.

Darlington, like New Ross, needs a $7,000 building at once as her present school house is sadly overcrowded. It will take a fight to get it started, too.

Changes at Del'auw.

A special from Greencastle says: "At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Del'auw University here last night Dr. II. A. Gobin was elected vice-presi-dent of the institution. Some slight reductions were made in the salaries for next year: the ladies' dormitory will be abolished for next year and the law school will be suspended at the close of the present term unless the finances will justify its reopening on an enlarged scale. The chair of history and political science was divided. Professor J. II. Weaver will continue in charge of political science, and Dr. Andrew Stephenson, Ph. 1)., of DePauw class of '82, was elected to the chair of history. The honor scholarship system will be discontinued provided other colleges of the State do likewise.

The Spring City Kleetion.

A general election will be held next May. What is known as the hold-over law, passed by the last Legislature, says:

The Mayor, Clerk, Marshal, etc., now in office, and whose terms expire in May or September, 803, or at any other time, shall hold their respective offices until the first Monday in September, 18!)4.

Councilmen whose terms expire in 1893 hold over until May, IS'.M, and those whose terms expire in 1804. hold over until 180(5.

Councilmen are to be elected vei-y two years and the other city officers every four years, the election to be held the first Tuesday in May.

The Problem Solved.

John L. Goben Monday morning announced to a number of persons that he had solved the problem, and that he would be the Democratic candidate for State Auditor, "and his election would of necessity follow." Time will reveal the matter.

NKW WKATIIKU FACTORY.

A 'ew Man in Charge-Signal* to I5e (iiven From I he Central School ISuililing.

The weather bureau in this city, in charge of Sam Syintnes for eightyears. has been turned over to Prof. IT. K, Taylor, of the city high school, together with all apparatuses for produing "fair." "cloudy" or "clear" days, and "warm." ""cold" or "cooler" weather. and the great combination ice machine for producing "cold waves." Prof. Taylor will rig all these up at the school building and endeavor to make the study of the weather a part of the instruction for the pupils. With a very little instruction in this line we may expect to have among us a rival for "Hicks, the weather prophet," and we can obtain these predictions fresh and without any delay. It is expected that more instruments will be obtained in order that the study of the weather can be made us perfect as possible. An effort is to be made to procure new weather Hags, or arrangements entered into whereby the weather indications can be announced by a system of whistling at some of our factories. Some people firmly believe that the weather indications is ail guess work, yet the olliee records show that over 80 per cent, of all the prognostications are correct.

Nelson Conveys Twenty-two lliimlre! Acres of Land to the Creditors.

The creditors of the Nelsons at Greencastle have effected a compromise with them. The Greencastle Jimmcr Times says:

Under the terms of the settlement Mrs. Nelson conveys her interest in the 2,200 acres of land to the assignee, and she in turn gets the family residence on Seminary and Arlington streets and retains the $18,000 that had already been paid to her by her husband. The mortgage and suit are thus to be satisfied and cancelled. The effect of the settlement is that the creditors get the £,200 acres of land free from the $.'15,000 mortgage and free from Mrs. Nelson's inchoate interest in the same 2.200 acres of land, which is all situated in Putnam and Parke counties. J. B. Nelson retains what had been deeded to him. In a talk with several of the creditors they express satisfaction at the outcome of the case, and the settlement of what bid fair to be a complex lot of litigation.

llow Much Sugar She Contains. To the young man who goes into rhapsodies ever his sweetheart, an exchange gives a dampener when it figures out that it lias been shown by analysis that a young person weighing 154 pounds is composed of 1)0 pounds of water, 3 pounds of white of egg, a little less than one pound of pure glue, 34% pounds of fat, 8

l4

pounds of phosphate

of lime, one pound of carbonate of lime, 3 ounces of sugar and starch, 7 ounces of fluoride of calcium, and a little ordinary table salt. Think of it, young man! That beautiful young lady whom you worship as a pillar of unadulterated sweetness doesn't contain three ounces of sugar. And not only that, but the average girl will not weigh as near 154 as 100 pounds, so she may be depended upon to have little over two ounces of sugar in her composition, except just after the last pound of French bon bons has been disposed of.

For County Treasurer.

Editor of The Journal. Several good names have been suggested as available timber with which to construct a Republican ticket, which will be a winner in the next county election, but the writer has in mind another good name and one that will just fit the office of county treasurer, the first lettersof whose name are John B. Rice. I believe that .John Kice would be elected by a rousing majority. His term as deputy treasurer under A. F. Ramsey proveil his tliorougli ability, and a rioro genial, obliging and efficient officii!" never collected in the cash at the county treasurer's office. He is popular with all classes and a hustler, and his nomination would please the Republicans of Montgomery county,

What Causes Pimples?

Clogging of the pores or mouths of the sebaceous glands with sebum or oily matter. The plug of sebum in the centre of the pimple is called a blackhead, grub, or comedone.

Nature will not nl!ow tho clogging of the pores to continue long, hence, Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness, later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened, the plug comes out and the poro is once more free.

There are thousands of these pores in the face alone, any one of which is liable to become clogged by neglect or disease.
