A HORSE SWAP

Iii NYltieli a Slinrt-Vnni'«l Aniinsil rirji-liitlon !niy Conspicuously.

Several"weeks ago .Johnny Mount, the teamster, swapped horses with John Abbott, the barber. The horse received by Mr. Mpunt was a quadruped wonderfully and fearfully made. One foot was a little shorter than it really ought to be and during the process of locomotion the beast was compelled to make a courteous bow every step. This would have looked all right in the fashionable drawing room of a lively stable where hosts of equine friends were standing about on every side in full evening dress, but it looked queer for this four-footed acquisition of Mr. Mount to be going along aristocratic Market street bowing right and left to every dog, goose or pile of empty beer kegs that he chanced to approach. It embarassed Mr. Mount and encouraged small boys to throw tin cans and decomposed lemons at the equipage. Moreover, the animal evinced a decided preference for rest. It loved to rest and eat. In the fond hope that these two bad habits might be overcome Mr. Mount waited and watched for a month. In vain. The horse ate more and lazily winked the other eye as ho squatted down in the stall when gently requested by a few kicks in the ribs to come out and haul the wagon. Finally Mr. Mount concluded that he had been imposed upon and longed for the Ilea bitten plug lie had traded to the tonsorial artist. He requested Mr. Abbott to trade back. Mr. Abbott stopped shaving a customer and requested Mr. Mount to go to slieol's sunny fastnesses. Mr. Mount did the next best tiling and went to the whitewashed shrine of that excellent man, Constable Uyas.

Byas put 011 his blue blazer with brass buttons and armed with the insignia and authority of the '"legal law'' lie marched upon Abbott with the tread of a Kentucky colonel storming a distillery. lie made a demand for the flea bitten horse. Mr. Abbott playfully rubbed the edge of his razor

011

his thumb and looked at the door. Mr. livers went. But his resources were not exhausted, lie borrowed an ear of corn and entering the barn of Mr. Abbott he spoke soft words in the ear of the Ilea bitten son of the desert and allowed it to smell of the ear of corn. The soft, seductive language and the smell of that corn were irresistible and the horse accompanied the cunning constable to the stable of the joyful Mr. Mount. Now. Mr. Abbott has sued Johnny Mount for 850 damages and lias employed F. P. Mount as his attorney.

Death of Mrs, Martha A. lloyl. Mrs. Martha A. Boyd died at her home in Wavelaiul on Sunday, March 4. aged 51 years. She was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky. May 7, 1S43, and came with her parents, Oliver and Charlotte McLeod, to this county during that same fall. About twenty years ago she was married to Andrew J. Boyd who preceded her to the spirit world several years since. One son, aged about 18. survives her. Mrs. Boyd was an active member of the Methodist church and was in all respects a model Christian woman. For the last sixteen years she has been greatly afflicted, but she bore her sufferings which were at times intense with that Christian resignation which was indeed beautiful.

"Stand aiul Deliver."

A Deputy Attorney-deneral was over from Indianapolis last week to prod up the trustees and hasten them in the matter of turning over those school funds to the State, lie figured up tke amounts due which tally essentially with the figures made at the meeting of the county board of education and reported in Tim

at that

time. The Attorney-deneral gets a big rake-off and his fees for collections from this county alone will amount to more than SMiOO this year.

Going to Covington.

Morris Ilerzog, of Waynetown was in the city last Friday and stated he had finally completed his arrangements to move to Covington. He has rented property there and will at once remove his stock of goods and family. Morris has been one of the great hustlers of Waynetown and his departure will be a great loss to the place. All wish him great prosperity and joy in his new home.

Death of John Lewelleii.

John Lewellen died at 2 p. m. March 15th, at-the age of 77 years. lie was buried at the Weir cemetery last Friday. Uncle Johnnie, as he was called, was well known and liked for his hospitality. He came here from Butler county, Ohio, over fifty years ago, and settled on a farm in Balhinch. He leaves five sons and three daughters to mourn his loss.

Lebanon Pioneer: About three weeks ago deorge Snyder, from near Crawfordsville, visited the John doldsberry neighborhood in Washington township, where he has an uncle, William Talbert. He professed to be a niacliinest and Mr. doldsberry gave him $2.50 to repair his windmill, receiving nothing in return. He also borrowed 85 of his uncle and bought on credit several dollars worth of repairs of John M. Moore and machinist Hamilton. He left the neighborhood suddenly, and a letter from his father says he has been arrested in Illinois for stealing and selling some clover seed. Snyder's father is a prominent and highly respected citizen of Montgomery county, but the son seems to be a worthless roustabout.

Terrorizes Tramps.

It terrorizes the average tramp to think of being vaccinated, consequently the recent order of the State Board of Health that every tramp caught loose in Indiana shall be inoculated will have the result of ridding us of these undesirable vagrants. I)r. Taylor says that Cra wfoi dsville is really threatened with smallpox and that if it comes it will be through some outcast tramp from the cheap lodging houses of Chicago. He urges every person who sees a tramp to report immediately to the Mayor or police so that he can be vaccinated. Sheriff Davis will have every one that comes to the jail vaccinated and if these precautions are taken in time we shall probably escape the scourge.

The Democratic Kace for Auditor. Taylor Thompson has finally agreed to withdraw from the race for Anditoi and throw his support for the Democratic nomination to Kenton Snyder, Mr. Snyder will still have to face tw opponents. One of these is Surveyoi W. F. Hunt who is gunning for tin nomination with an improved and enlarged pattern of the famous Krupp '•shootin iron." The other opponen' is Uncle Jim Johnson, of Mace, win lias fought and gone unwashed in tin grand old cause for many, many years The politicians generally favor the nomination of Mr. Snyder but Mi Hunt has many friends and will male the race interesting to say the least.

Appellate Court.

Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Company vs. John M. Irons. Montgomery C. C. Atlirmed. daven, J. (1) Where written instruments are necessary exhibits to pleadings, an allegation that the instruments are in possession of the adverse party is a sufficient excuse for a failure to make copies of thein exhibits to such pleadings. (2) Indefiniteness in a pleading is reached by motion to make more specific rather than by demurrer. (3) Under Section 348, U.S., 18SM, where it appears from the whole record that the merits of a cause have been fairly determined, error in overruling a demurrer to a bad answer will not be available to reverse the judgment.

SKIZI'RK OF SKIXKS.

Opinion of tlie supreme Court Siu-li Ai ion.

Mistainini

The Supreme Court of Indiana in lS'.i.'l. gave a decison on the constitutionality of the lish laws, which the Fish Protective Association now cite. The case was a prosecution of David l.ewis for having a seine in his possession, and was on appeal from l.ake county. The opinion was by Judge Olds. He said:

One of the principal object ions urged to the law is that it deprives the citizens of a class or species of property, or the right to own and possess tiic same, which in itself is harmless, and in which there is no inherent evil, and it is not a dangerous commodity. If is contended that a seine is a legitimate niece of property, and that it has lawful purposes. The statute prohibits the use of gill nets and seines except certain kinds or in certain waters. They are not a species of property adapted to any other use. The fact that they are made of material harmless in itself, and valuable for other uses, does not change the right of the State to prohibit the use or possession of such material when woven into nets for the purpose, of catching fish. This method of catching lish the State has a right to prohibit! and if it has the right to so prohibit the catching, why has it not the right also to prohibit persons having an article of property in their possession used solely for such unlawful purpose'.' 'The public has an interest in the protection and growth of fish, and the Legislature has the right to prohibit their being taken from the waters during certain seasons and by certain means, ami has exclusive control over the matter. The conclusion is reached that the statute is valid.

Two Cases ltevergcri.

The Supreme Court has reversed the case wherein Dr. May got damages irom R. C. Walkup. Judge davin says in the decision:

If one negligently fails to give his share of the road anil a collision and damages occur thereby, or if damage occurs in the effort to avoid a collision, he must answer for his negligence. The cause of action arises from the negligence of the one party and, as in other actions for negligence, it is incumbent oil the plaintiff' to prove negligence upon the defendant's part as the proximate cause of the injury and freedom from contributory fault on his own part.

The case wherein Alfred Clouser obtained judgment against Joseph Corns has also been reversed, Judge Hackney holding: (1) An agreement whereby one land owner agrees to grant another a private way over his land, in consideration ol the other land owner agreeing to a vacation of a public highway dividing the lands of the two owners, is not void as against public policy. (2) Where the complaint to enforce such an agreement and establish the easement in such case claims the ownership of the easement, and prays for a decree quieting the plaintiff's title thereto, and the decree rendered finds for the plaintiff upon the claim of title ami adjudges the claim forever quieted, the defendant is entitled to anew trial as a matter of right.

Charles is president of an Indianapolis butcher shop and a few nights ago the sausage dispensary took fire. The circumstances were rather against Charley so he was carefully bottled up in jail as the probable incendiary. He had a trial before a court, however, and established his innocency. He is now as free as the little birds.

THOSK BABY CI.OTIIKS

The following from the Xoblesville. /eimierit will interest the many friends of Charley Little, of the Senior class of Wabash college:

Last Saturday evening Charles Little. of Kvansville, a student of Wabash college, came to this city to call on a ady friend. Mr. L. being a warm friend of Mr. Will Abbott's, and at different times has visited him and partaken of Doctor Abbott's hospitality, always being a welcome visitor. Previous to his visit this time lie announced his coming by mail to the. Doctor, (Will Abbott being away from home) that he would arrive at a late hour. Mrs. Dr. Abbott, kind lady that she is, to make things pleasant and convenient for him, sent the night key to his lady friend for him, as he expected to spend the evening with her, that he might be able to get into the Abbott mansion without molesting the family, he knowing well where to lind his room as he had been there before. Hut a change, of ownership of the house had taken place. Will 10. Dunn had bought the house and taken possession and Mr. Abbott had moved a square east. Mr. Little hail not been apprised of this fact. After spending a pleasant evening with his lady friend, Miss Nelly Wilson, he very yrtwefully Itmle tier yowl niyht, took his departure as he thought, to Dr. Abbott's residence. He cautiously unlocked the door (the Abbott house night key working like a charm in the Dunn property) took off his overcoat and rubbers in the hall, and then tiptoed it up-stairs to his room, struck a match, lit the gas, took off' his clothes, and was making haste to retire, and dream lovely dreams, when he cast his eyes toward the bed and other surroundings. and on the bed he discovered some baby clothes. He examined them, great drops of perspiration now standing on his forehead. He was becoming nervous. He naturally concluded that the room had been rented to outside parties, who might return at any moment. He discovered on the stand some letters directed to W. E.

Dunn. Then he was greatly excited and rushed out into the hall yelling at the top of his voice: "Doctor Abbott! Doctor Abbott!! Dr. Abbott!!!"' This yelling for the Doctor aroused Mr. Dunn and wife. Mr. Dunn peeped through the small opening in the door and began to think burglars were in the house, when he espied the young man. Both were greatly rattled and dodged from imaginary bullets until their dishabille attire revealed their hick of offensive weapons. A parly was then struck and at this juncture of the situation explanations followed. Mr. Diiiin tried to prevail on the young man to remain all night, but he wanted to see Dr. Abbott. He donned his wearing apparel again when he was directed where to find the Doctor's residence.

The Human Electrical Forces!

How They Control the Organs of the Body.

The electrical forco of the human body, as the nerve fluid may bo termed, 1m aa especially attractive department of science, as it exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve forco is produced !y the brain anil conveyed by moans of the nerves to lie various organs of the body, thussupplying the lattcrjwltli tlia vitality necessary to insure their health. The pneumouaslrie nerve, as shown liero, may be said to ho LlibrnosL important, oftheentiro nerve system, as it supplies the heart, lun^s, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve forco necessary to keen tliern active and healthy. As will bo seen by the cut the long nerve descending from the base of the brain and terminating In the bowels is the pueumogastrlc, while the numerous little branches supply th heart, lung9 ana stom ach with necessary vitality. When the Drain becomes In any way disordered by Irritability or exhaustion, the nerve

V"W UVi 1

force which It supplies Is lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are consequently weakened.

Physicians generally fail to recognize, the importance of this fact, but treat the organ itself instead of the cause of the trouble riie noted specialist, Franklin Miles, M. D.. LiL. li., has glvon the greater part of his life to the study of this subject, and the principal discoveries concerning ft are due to his efforts.

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, the unrivaled brain and nerve food, is prepared on the principle that all nervous and many other difficulties originate from disorders of the nervecenters. Its wonderful success In curing these disorders is testified to by thousands in every part of the land.
