Money by buying cheap Jewelry or Silverware. It isn't economy. They cost more in the end than the better goods. Why? We'll tell you.

A RED HOT ROAST.

ALoud mill Lungy AVail From Lafayette— Our Commissioners are Called Ghouls aud ProllRBtcs.

Lafayette Courier: Tippecanoe county from one boundary to the other was amazed yesterday by the action of Montgomery county, and visions of that expensive l'ettit murder trial float like a nightmare before the people as they view again that last bill from the sister county of 82,000 fees paid to Attorneys Haywood and Anderson, who prosecuted l'ettit. Yesterday F. P. Mount, attorney for the Montgomery hoard of commissionery, appeared before Auditor Jamison with a bill for 553,460, the S4S0 being interest on the original S2,000. The §2,000 was paid to Haywood and Anderson by that county after they had fought the case through the supreme cou'rt, and Montgomery had always wanted Tippecanoe to reimburse her. The bill was originally presented here and was disallowed by the Tippecanoe board. Later on a suit was brought in the superior court before Judge Rabb, Judge Everett being sworn oft' the bench. Judge Rabb decided against the Montgomery people, who went to the supreme court. There Judge Rabb's decision was affirmed. Their decision was supposed to be final and the claim seemed at rest at last. It has been buried beneath all kinds of refusals and law opinions, but it has been resurrected by the grave robbers ghost-like and horrid it again flits before the people of this county, grown prosperous in itself as time has lent interest. The filing of the claim on yesterday indicates that the bill is worse than the Wilson bill, the Mills bill, the McKinley bill or any other kind of a never-say-die movement. It will not be downed. Of course, Tip-

pecanoe's commissioners will again refuse the claim, and the courts will once more try the case. After awhile this case* will rival the Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce case, and the costs will be so high that Montgomery county will be bankrupted.

New Metals for CuIiih.

Advices from Washington, D. C., state that experiments with pure nick el and aluminum as substitutes for the present nickel pieces, and one and two cent bronze pieces will be made at the mints by order of Director Preston during October. A resolution was passed by the House of Eepresentatives authorizing such experiments. There is some doubt whether the actual adoption of anew metal for the minor coins will be recommended at an early date by the treasury officials even if the experiments prove successful. The objection to a change in any form of coins or notes is at the disposition of the public to refuse the old forms and insist upou having the new. This would drive into the mints for recoinage 814,000,000 in nickel pieces, which are now in circulation, and §7,500,000 in pennies. The advantage claimed for pure nickel, instead of the alloy now used in five cent pieces, is its greater hardness, durability and distinctness of impression.

Wheat Going Up,

The advance in the price of wheat this week has been a gratifying ont and appears to be a substantial rise instead of a bulling of the market bv speculators. The advance lias been caused by a foreign demand and the advices are to the effect that the demand will hold. The crops of India, Russia, Argentine and all other European supplying nations fell far short tliie year and most of them have little or no wheat for export. During September India, for example, exported only 180,000 bushels against 1,000,000 bushels last year.

Farmers' Institute.

Everyone should remember the famous "Farmers' Institute" of Franklin and Sugar Creek townships to be held at Darlington on October 15. Speakers from a distance will be present. An interesting programme has been arranged and will appear in next week's Joukxat,. All interested in agricultural progress should be present.

Commendable I'riHon Herniations. A system recently inaugurated by Warden Charles Harley at the northern prison has proved so successful that the warden of the prison south Wednesday adopted the same system. The convicts were divided into three classes, in which the well behaved were allowed to wear gray clothes without the stripe, and those not so well behaved a checked suit. The depraved and ungovernable convicts continue to wear the stripes. Other privileges, such as letter writing, having callers, etc., were granted the two better classes, who are also relieved from walking about in lockstep. After a trial of two months at the northern prison it has proved a great success.

Dismissed.

The case of the State vs. Ira Ellis was dismissed yesterday in 'Squire Stilwell's court. Ira was charged with having rocked the house of old Mr. Price, who resides near Oak Hill. It was learned that Ellis also had a case against Price, so the latter gentleman did not appear against the young man. In this way a compromise was effected.
