A Railroad Man Cured.

Mr. Tom E. Kline, an engineer, forty years of age, residing at 640 East Ohio street, Indianapolis, Ind., who has run an engine for two years on the Wabash road, and thirteen years on the Monon road, much of that time having been the engineer on the fast newspaper train has, for the past ten years, suffered from indigestion in its worst form. He had a continual heavy feeling in his stomach, so that he had to lie in bed to ease his pain. This indigestion caused chronic diarrhoea and sleeplessness. He had to be very careful as to his diet, and could only eat as simple a food as potatoes sparingly. He took four boxes of LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS, and now he can eat anj'thing. His digestion is perfect he can sleep well, and he gives it as his opinion that the medicine does everything that is claimed for it. He heartily recommends it to all persons suffering from indigestion or any stomach disorder.

LARCASTER-TRUITI.

A I'retty Home Wedding Consummated V.ngt TlturMlny on Kattl Main Street.

Last Thursday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Truitt, of east Main street, occurred the marriage of Miss Arminta Truitt to Mr. Charles Lancaster, of Nevada, Mo. The residence was beautifully adorned for the happy event with chrysanthemums and vines. The seasonable and popular flowers were profusely displayed and the scene was a very pretty one. The ceremony occurred at 7 o'clock and was performed by Rev. S. H. Creighton, assisted by Rev. J. G. Stephens. About thirty guests were present and while Miss Allie McClamrock played the Mendelssohn wedding march the bride and groom entered unattended to the parlor, where the impressive ceremony occurred. The bride, a very attractive young lady, was attired in a most becoming gown of pearl colored silk warpe, trimmed in pearls and ribbon, high ncck and long sleeves. She carried the customary bride's roses. Immediately after the ceremony a sumptuous wedding supper was served in courses. The bride was made the recipient of many very handsome and presents. Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster will leave in a few days for their home in

Nevada, Mo. Both are excellent young people of many accomplish ments and they carry with them the congratulations of many friends. Among the priests present from out of the city were Mrs. Henry Clevenger and children, of Elizabeth town, Tenn., and Mrs. John Crey, of Sheldon, Mo.

KING LEAR.

He Talks About a Russellville Female and 1b Horsewhipped.

Word comes from Russellville of a very sensational episode in that quiet town. On Wednesday, Nov. 13, W. H. Lear, a well known farmer was in the barber shop, when in walked Mr. and Mrs. Charley Goff. Both carried horsewhips and both had blood in their eyes. Without even so much as a howdy they began to lay fierce blows over the head of Lear. The winter winds which made it uncomfortable for Mr. Lear's historic namesake were not a circumstance to those lusty lashes from the whips. Lear's face was badly cut and in the fracas the chairs were overturned and the lamps broken. Finally Mr. Lear escaped.

It seems that Lear had been talking about Mrs. Goff in a manner not approved by that foxy female. In consequence she and her husband made a bad matter worse. The case will likely go to the courts.

A lightning Arrester.

Evan Shelby, proprietor of the telephone exchange at Linden, has invented a new lightning arrester for use in telephone or telegraph offices. It is automatic in action and during the severe electric storm the past season completely protected the exchange at Linden, whereas the exchange in this city was damaged to the extent of about 9125, as was most other exchanges, aggregating a loss of many thousands of dollars. The invention is a clever device and depends upon a very simple principle. A patent has been applied for and and the invention will be put upon the market in the near future. Sharp & Hoffman, of this city, made the drawings, specifications and application in their usual high-class style.

He Wants No Guardian.

The relatives of Columbus Beck, devoted and untiring disciple of Bacchus, have instituted proceedings in court to have a guardian appointed for him. Columbus receives a pension, that, is he is a sort of an agent through whom the government pays so much a month to the liquor dealers of the town. Columbus, who is now in jail, thus preserving his likeness to his famous namesake, is said to be greatly disgusted with the legal steps taken. He declares that he is capable of attending to his own business and desires "no one to be meddlin' with his affairs."

lluck-Alexander.

Last Friday George Buck, of Greensburg, was /married to Allena Lane Alexander, daughter of B. F. Lane, of west Main street. The attendants were Miss Ora Lane and Frank Slevin, of Indianapolis. .The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Crosson, after which a sumptuous wedding served at the bride's home. At midnight Mr. and Mrs. Buck left for their future home in Greensburg, attended by the best wishes of their many friends. Both are estimable young people.

The Great Proposer Attends the Chrysanthemum Show and Causes a Fluttering of Hearts and Dresses,

The bright particular star at the chrysanthemum show.last Friday was honest. Abe Estes, the champion proposer from Hendricks county.

Those big white and yellow blossoms, if they had been capable of feeling, would doubtless have turned green with jealousy and as it was they seemed less stately, and, perhaps, just a trifle wilted. This, some say, was due partially to the heatsd room and partially to being shown in contrast to the elegance of Mr. Estes, but many maintain that the flowers really felt the slight of a superior attraction and dropped under the lack of attention from admiring ladies.

The moment Mr. Estes entered the hall the word flew around and he was immediately the cynosure of all eyes, the beheld of all beholders. The hale old gentleman was attired in purple and fine linen, figuratively speaking, and he came early enough for supper. He made a good square meal, too, and the ladies in charge of the booth say it was gratifyiug to witness such a flattering appreciation of their tempting viands. The meal over Mr. Estes wandered dreamily through the blossomy mazes (human and floral) and glanced with impartial admiration everywhere.

Of course, the old gentleman couldn't let the occasion pass without submitting a marriage proposal and the festivities of the evening had not far advanced before he had cornered a comely widow near the refreshment booth and had began his customary tale of longing love.

The lady in question owns a handsome residence property on east Main street and Mr. Estes endeavored to persuade her that she should dismiss the people now tenanting the place, marry him and settle down there in the felicitously felicitous joys of Methuselahic matrimony.

The lady, if we may be permitted to drop into baseball parlance in the discussion of marital affairs, was somewhat rattled by the ardor of her suitor and the publicity of his suit but stated in good set terms that he was not suited to her nor she to him. Nothing daunted, however, he pleadi'd hit, cause quite eloquently and declared that upon his income of S33 50 a month they could live quite snugly in her east Main street bird nest.

Hon. P. S. Kennedy is well acquainted with Mr. Estes and states that thirty years ago he was one of the leading citizens of Hendricks county. He was a man generally looked up to in the community and in the language of the day "what he said went." He had a large property and was prominent in all public affairs. When he became too old to manage his affairs he deeded his property to his children who allow him what money he wants and also allow him to do what he pleases. Mr. Estes is now 70 years old.

Henri 1c Here, Mr. Judge*

Veedersburg News: The Keller? will not be tried in Rockville. We have this positive assurance from Charles McCabe, who is the principal attorney for the defense. Mr. McCabe is satisfied that the feeling against his clients is such that there would be a positive prejudice so bitter that they could not get justice. The appeal for a change will be filed by next Friday the allotted time by law being three days previous to the calling of the trial, and it is not definite as to where the case will betaken, though it is the custom when there are no objections to the judge to keep it in the judicial districts. If Judge White reasons that way, the case will go to Vermillion county. There has been much prejudice manifested against the Kellars, and even some have engendered bitter feelings against Mr. McCabe, their counsel.

Got to Work.

Warden Hert, of the southern prison, has closed a contract with the Showers Bros.' furniture company, of Bloomington, Ind., for the employment of all the idle men in the prison. The contract calls for all the men now idle and also for all that may be sent to the prison in the future in excess of the demands of other contractors. This is a contract that will insure the constant employment of all the prisoners and will place the prison on a basis that will make it a sound revenue to the State instead of a cost. Since the two prisons have passed into the control of Republicans both have been wonderfuliy improved in the matter of cost of maintenance. At the prison contracts have been made that will place most of the prisoners in employment.

HONEST OLD ABE. JIM STUTESMAN.

He Thinks Mr. Fairbanks Has a Better Claim to tlio Seimtorahlp Thau j.- Mr. flic Keen.

v-

Indianapolis Neios: J. F. Stutesman, member of thje Legislature from Peru, who was here to-day, says the Republican conference will be well attended from his part of the State. "I am surprised that the new.spapers of the State are not saying much about the contest for United States Senator," said he, "and that there has not been a protest entered against the effort of a few men to make W. R. McKeen, of Terre Haute, a condidate against Charles W. Fairbanks. It is true that Mr. McKeen is an honored citizen of the State and would make an admirable Senator, but it do'es not seem quite the thing to force him into the race at this time. It is true that Mr. McKeen has contributed money to the success of the Republicans of Indiana, but Mr. Fairbanks has contributed both time and money. He has gone out and worked for the success of the party in season and out of season It seems to me that he is just the kind of a man that we should wish to send to the Senate. He is a student of public questions and a man of affairs. He will be an honor to the State. It is pretty well understood by the Republicans throughout the State that Mr.

Fairbanks has been led to understand that he is to be the next Senator, and so far as I can learn, the representative members of the party are not taken kindly to this attempt to make McKeen a candidate."

THE COUNTRY'S ANNUAL BREW.

The Productions of Jags in the Country Has Grown Immensely.

On November 1 of each year the organized brewers of the country get from the internal revenue a statement in detail of the brewing business of the country, which is 830,000,000 a year in government taxes. This year's figures are just at hand. The total consumption of beer in the United States for the present year—figured up to July 1—was S33,409,001 barrels, an increase over the consumption of a year ago of 191,000 barrels. A barrel of beer, in brewers'measure, is about 31M gallons. The consumption of lager beer in the United States this year is, therefore, in excess of 1,000,000,000 gallons These figures put the United States abreast with Germany, supposed by many to be the favored laud of beerdrinkers, but still behind Great Brit ain, which is at the head of all corntries with an annual consumption of 1,^00,000,000.

Hoosler Slide unangmg itsell. Michigan City News: Old lioosier Slide is slowly but surely moving itself southward and otherwise changing its appearance. Before the recent blow there was a high peak on the summit of the mountain of sand. The winds have caused the sand to shift and there are now half a dozen peaks on the Bouth side of the hill. Years ago Qoosier Slide was twice as high as it is at the present time. Its sides were covered with grass and upon its sum mit were many trees and brush. But time has changed its appearance. The grass and trees have disappeared and it is now a white mountain of glitter ing sand. Hundreds of car loads of the sand have been shipped away for building purposes and to the numerous glass factories in the southern part of the State. The hill is now hardly more than 100 feet high. The wind from the north is causing the sand to shift to the southward causing the hill to spread out in that direction and continually broadening itself. Old lioosier Slide has in years past been the admiration of thousands of people, but it will not be many more years when it will be a thing of the past.

Rebuilding the Southeastern. One hundred Italians were put to work on the Chicago & Southeastern Railway between Anderson and Wave land last Friday. It is the intention to completely rebuild the line. The business is good since the new Brazil extension from Waveland to Brazil, was opened. The road will be extended to Muncie during the coming year, and probably through to Lima, O. At present it is 108 miles long.

Sleeping Car Service.

R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City, and General Manager of the Indiana, Decatur and Western, has arranged with the Wagner Car Company to place combination sleeping and reclining chair carson its lino between Indianapolis and St. Louis. The cars are just coming out of the shops, and through train service is to be established between Indianapolis and St. Louis over these roads November 21.

PART FIRST

A HIGH HANDED ODTRAGE.

Young Ulan of This City Mobbed lly a tot of Kockvllle Tliugs, AYI10 Act On Suspicion.

Monday morning Frank Elrod, whose parents live just northwest of town, and who was a recent student at the Crawfordsville Business College, arrived from Rockville in a pitiable condition. His head was frightfully disfigured with ugly cuts and bruises and his body covered with wounds.

If

the young man's story be true there are several young thugs in Rockville who deserve to be in the penitentiary.

YouD.g Elrod, who is 18 years of age, states that he went to Rockville some weeks ago to work in the Eureka hotel. Several of the Rockville sports took a dislike to him because he refused to join in their orgies and circulated the report that he was the correspondent of the Indianapolis People, a disreputable sheet given over to the circulation of lies and scandals. In the last issue appeared articles reflecting on Frank Overman, Oscar Payne, Elmer Osborn, Fred Boliner and Ed Lambert, young society gulls, of darkest Rockville. They at once, according to Mr. Elrod's story, threatened to kill the correspondent and declared that they knew Elrod to be the guilty man. Greatly alarmed Elrod procured a revolver and resolved to defend himself. He was attacked on Saturday night on the streets by the young men mentioned and kicked and beaten with clubs in a most outrageous and shameful manner. He would undoubtedly have been killed had he not been rescued by citizens. In the fight Elrod shot twice and one of the balls carried away a finger for young Overman. Elrod was unable to return here until Monday morning so badly was he used up. He declares he did not correspond for the paper mentioned and that he will make it warm for his assailants.

Death of W. C. Klmler.

DARLINGTOM, IND., Nov. 10, 1895.— Washington Creighton Kimler was born July 14th, 1857 in Knox county, Illinois. Died November 15, 1895 at his home in Darlington, surrounded by his family, consisting of wife, boy and two daughters, also his mother and a host of relatives and friends. Although his death was not unexp^cted it came upon us as a clap of thunder from a clear sky. Never a stout robust man, when he was taken with that dread disease, typhoid fever. A shudder of fear came over the entire community knowing him to be constitutionally weak, the worst was feared. For some years he lived on his farm south of town, respected and honored by all. The work of the farm was too much for him and failing health determined him to leave. He removed with his family to this place in May 1889, going into the hardware business with I. H. Butler, where he remained but a short time. He next went with V. E. Craig in the timber and grain business, where he continued until his death. He was one of the few men that carried his Christianity with him into his business. He was a close conscentious business man, from principle his word equalled his bond. A Methodist by profession, and was a leader in the church, a Republican from principle, alwayB in the front rank, a friend to all and ever ready to assist the needy. A kind and affectionate husband and father, and a loving son caring for his mother. In all matters pertaining to the welfare of the town he took an active part. He was treasurer of the school board at the time of his death, and will be greatly missed by that Board, as it relied greatly upon his council. We can truthfully say by his death that Darlington has lost a good man. On account of the illness of his mother the funeral took place at his home Sunday at 2 o'clock p. in., conducted by Rev. Royle and interment under the auspices of the Darlington K. of P., lodge, of which he was an honored member.

Kumagi's Kid.

Word comes from the Sun Rising kingdom, far away Japan, that a son has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Kamonasuke' Kumangi. Mr. Kumagi was graduated at Wabash college in 1889 and during his five years' residence here, was a general favorite in social circles. It said he named his son in. honor of his classmate, Jim Ilanna.

Broke Her Thigh.

Saturday evening as Mrs. Tom Craig, of south Walnut street, was alighting from a buggy at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Webb Talbot, she was so unfortunate as to fall and break her thigh. Dr. Gott was called and gave medical assistance. Sunday Mrs. Craig was brought to her home and is resting as easily as possible under the circumstances.
