TALK OF A FUSION.

Democrats and Populists Trying to get Together on a Congressional Candidate.

Frankfort News: The "leadinest" Democrats of Frankfort met last night for the purpose of discussing the advisability of "fusing" with the Populists on a candidate for Congress. A majority of those present at the meeting expressed themselves as favorable to the plan, but there were several that were against it. A poll of the faithful in Clinton county as to the financial question has recently been completed, and is said to show a decided majority for free silver.

A committee was appointed last night to canvass the situation with a view to selecting some apostle of the white metal to make the race for Congress as an independent, free silver candidate, and bring about his endorsement by the Democracy and Populist party of the district.

One prominent worker in the ranks created quite a ripple by declaring that it must be either a straight mossback Democrat, or he would support the Republican candidate.

HICKS FOR APRIL.

He Will Give Us a Mouth of Variable Weather Closing With the Traditional Showers. .,

April is in the midst of a regular storm period, hence a warmer wave, with low barometer and rains will be in progress. About the 2d storms will end to the east, colder weather having followed same from the west. On about the 5 th or 6th reactionary storms will be due. A mercury equinox on the Gth will prolong showery conditions, with tendency to sleet in the far north. The 11th to 13th is a period in which high temperature, low barometer and heavy storms will appear. Cooler weather with frost northward will follow behind storms and for days succeeding. About the 17th and 18th much warmer, with normal showers increasing' to heavy .rains. Watch change to cooler after storms. The 23d to 26th showers will be numerous, growing heavier and attended by thunder and hail as the period progresses. The change to fair and cooler may not come until after the full moon on ths 27th. Frost may follow in the northern sections. Watch for it. Stiff wind from the north-west with barometer rising very high after storms, will insure frosts. April ends growiug warmer and showery.

The Verdict Will Be Interesting.

Bloomington Telephone: One of the most important suits that has been in the Monroe circuit court for a year is now on trial before Hon. Thomas Brooks, special judge. The case is stated George Welsh vs. the First National Bank. Welsh is the county assessor, and upon orders of the county board of review he demanded of the First National bank that the names of depositors be submitted to the board so that it could be known whether or not all depositors had given in their money for taxation to the assessors on April 1, as required by law. The bank takes the grounds that the names of depositors and also the amounts of money they have is at all times a confidential business matter and can not be divulged to the public.

Will Goben Sells to Sam Beach.

New Richmond Enterprise: The Red Saw store has changed hands, W. J. Goben having sold to Corwin Beach and brother, Sam. Samuel Beach is well known in Crawfordsville, having been connected with ordon's poultry house for a number of years. Mr. Beach will combine the poultry business with the grocery store, paying the highest cash prices. Competition will now be sharp and active in the poultry line and the people may expect good prices.

Decidedly Promising.

Delphi Journal: The district convention at Frankfort last Thursday heartily endorsed the candidacy of Hon. James A. Mount, of Montgomery county, for Governor. Mr. Mount's prospects are decidedly promising and no aspirant for gubernatorial honors has the advantage of him. The Ninth district should give him its ardent support.

l'HOSE QUEER QDINLASS. SOLD AGA1S.

The select and elite circle of Goose Nibble was shaken from its recherche circumference to its aristocratic center last Thusaay by the rumor of a family jar at the manor house of Daniel Quinlan, the scion of a noble French family exiled from the land of the lily during the regime Napoleon. This rumor found its on v-in in a few dozen well defined yell. of commingled rage, pain and triumphant exultation, to say nothing of the noise occasioned by the crash of crockery and bricks, all proceeding from the aforesaid manor house.

This family discord Friday morning found its arbitrament in the Mayor's court, where Dan and his hopeful sons, Mike and Jack, appeared to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The evidence boiled down apd relieved of superfluous reference to past differences revealed the following state of facts: On Thursday Daniel purchased a piece of meat about the size, shape and texture of those sponges usfid in the ablutions of 'bugges. This dainty was properly fixed and the family sat down to partake thereof. Now, Mike had "been particularly virtuous all day and Jack had been particularly vicious so Daniel in carving that meat made an apportionment not dissimilar to the Indiana Legislature apportionment of 1S93, the excellent Mike, to continue our comparison, representing the unwashed Democracy—very appropriately, too. When Jack witnessed this paternal gerrymander of the evening meal he allowed his angry passions to arise. He did not appeal to the Supreme Court to set the apportionment aside for the very good reason that there would have been no apportionment to set aside had he awaited the dilatory process of a lax and lagging law. He twisted in the principle of brute force and seizing a costly china tea cup (once honored by the lips of Louis XV) he dashed it furiously against the cranium of his favored brother. His Cain like purpose failed, however, as Mike munched on. Although he continued to munch he did not\sit supinely by. He arose and seizing the skillet hurled it with unerring accuracy at Jack's ribs. There was a crash as of a cannon ball striking a soft soap barrel and Jack went to the floor. Like truth, however, he rose again and the family fight became general. It did not ceaBe until the combatants were exhausted and the cause of action totally obliterated. Friday morning the Mayor visited the wrath of the law on Jack as being the instigator of the trouble and the disturbing factor.'

SIXTY LESS SALOONS.

Claims Made Byitlie Good.Cltizens' League for Nicholson Bitl. v..v :-.'Y

Indianapolis News: The Good Citizens' Leagut, has been for some time canvassing the State through correspondents with a view to determining to what extent the Nicholson law has cut down the saloons in Indiana.

According to statements made by Col. Eli Ritter, the enforcement of the law has reisulted in a lessening of the number of app'ications for license, and a corresponding cutting down of the number of saloons in the State. In some countiefe, he claimed, the traffic has been driven from the out townships to the county seats, while in others the saloon business has been wiped out altogether. In this city he figured there were sixty less saloons than had been running before the law went into effect.

There is not now the fear of this law among law abiding dealers which at

they are recognizing the fact that it assists their business by decreasing the number and cutting off those dealers whose iniquitous practices did so much to bring the liquor business into disrepute.

A. F. Bamsey, Who May Make a. Modern Hotel of It..

A deal which has long been discussed was consummated last week and A. F. Ramsey became the owner of thn Nutt House. This valuable property has been knocked from pillar to post for some time for reasons not at all inexplicable, and it now seems |hat its era of prosperity will return. Mr. Ramsey will do nothing with the property until he is aware what it will do for him. If he can place it in the hands of the right kind of a hotel man, Mr. Ramsey will completely modernize and remodel the building. The present structure will(be changed and a north wing containing some twenty bed rooms and several ground floor sample rooms will be added, a billiard room being put in where the present sample rooms are.

It has been rumored that the hotel would be refitted and leased to A. B. Jones, of the Robbins House, but while no more fitting man could be secured than Mr. Jones, no deal of the kind has been effected.

THE BIG SALE.

An Immense Crowd In Attendance at the Cooley and Hamilton Sale—Good Prices Pitfd.

Friday was the first day of Cooley & Hamilton's big sale at the Walters' burn and the immense crowd in attendance was evidence of the complete success of the venture. Only horses and mules were sold Friday and the sale begun on the schedule time, over 200 good horses having been brought in. The buyers were numerous but careful and the horses adapted to the eastern markets were sold by far for the best prices. All the animals sold well, however, much better than they would generally sell at private sale.

Tribe of Ben-Hur Notes.

Ihe second session of the Supreme Tribe of Ben-Hur will be held here on April 14, for the election of officers and the transaction of other important 'business. About fifty representatives will be present from out of the city. .The membership of the order last week reached 7,130. Its growth has been far more phenomenal and rapid than that of any other order in the history'of the country.

The Tribe of Ben-Hur now has in effect 80,377,300, of which amount 81,076,300 was placed this month.-

Since January 1 the membership of the order

haB

increased 2,076i

A draft for 81,800 has been sent to Russellville as payment of the policy of Mrs. W N. Gott, who died some three weeks ago. Mrs. Gott has been a member of the order less than a month and had paid but one assessment. Insurance in the Tribe of BenHur is better than that in any old line company. It is within the reach of all and is perfectly reliable.

HIS SIXTY-FOURTH MILE POST.

Benjamin F. Snyder is Surprised By the Members of His Kegiinent and Their Wives.

The surviving members of Co. K, E^jhty-sixth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, who live in this vicinity, gave a surprise dinner to their comrade, B. F. Snyder, Monday. Accompanied by their wives and daughters and a few comrades not members of the regiment, they repaired to the residence of Mr. Snyder in the western part of the city in the forenoon with well filled baskets. Soon after their arrival Mr. Snyder was reminded that this was his sixty-fourth birthday. The baskets were" relieved of their contents, the tables were spread and soon all things were in readiness for the feast. Before surrounding the tables Mr. and Mrs. Snyder were presented with a gold headed cane and a silver butter dish respectively, as a token of the esteem in which they are held by "comrades known in marches many." John D. Moore made the presentation speech. The dinner was discussed and thoroughly enjoyed. The occasion was a sharp ^reminder of the swiftness of time. Thirty-four yearB have flown since those who then responded to the call for "three hundred thousand more." The beardlessiboys of '61 and '62 are now gray-haired men. A few decades more and these veterans will be gone. It is a high duty which we owe to show them all honor and consideration during their remaining days.

Assessors Can't Examine Bank Book*.

Bloomington World: The jury in the case of County Assessor Welch vs. the First National Bank, demanding that the officers of the bank produce the names of depositors an the amount of money they had on deposit in that institution the first of April, 1895, returned a special verdict yesterday morning in court finding for the defendants. Over one hundred interrogatories were submitted to the- jury to answer. They retired to their room at 5:30 o'clock p. m. and agreed upon. their verdict at 2 a. in. yesterday morn-

ing*

It was sealed and given into the possession of W. W. Wicks, their foreman, until nine o'clock when court convened with Judge H. A. Lee, acting for special Judge Brooks on the bench. In the interrogatories there were embodied a number of questions regarding individuals who *were supposed to have money at that time on deposit.

The defense made a point in the case that they had not been berved with proper process and therefore were not compelled to produce .the names of its depositors as providedsby law. The attorneys for the plaintiff will let the matter rest at this point and County Assessor Welch has signified «his determination to demand an inspection Wednesday, April, 1 and will be clothed with the proper credentials in_ theform of legal papers that he will serve upon the bank officials:

At New {toss a party of them were crossing from one depot to another they saw the Midland train which they wished to board, pulling out for Lebanon. They were at loss to know what to do for a little while but one of ihem, having a better opinion of the road that the others soon came to their rescue. After a short consultation they telegraphed to Advance and told the agent they would come to Advance on the handcar if he would stop the train and hold it for them. He answered that he would stop the train and also have it go back and meet them. These arrangements were followed out to the letter and the delegates were 6oon on the train and on their way to Lebanon. They vow they will fight for the Midland henceforth.
