A Kecoant.

Miss Olser, of Marshall county, Michigan, is just at present fulfilling a rather agreeable and pleasant campaign wager with li'young man. Miss Osier pinned her faith to Bryan in the recent election, and so confident was she that the Nebraska man would wiD that she bet 1,000 kisses with her lover on the result. The couple were making excellent progress toward the payment of the wager when a dispute arose over alleged inaccuracies in the tally and a recount is now being taken.

The Farmers' Institutes.

\V. C. Latta, superintendent of the Farmers' institutes, conducted under under the supervision of Purdue University, filed his report with the Governor on Saturday, in which he says that an institute has been held in every county in the State during the past year with an average attendance of 272. The §5,000 appropriated for the institutes by the last Legislature has been spent and Mr. Latta recommends that the appropriation bo increased by the coming session.

Nellie's Sweetheart.

The social circles of Ripley township have suffered another rude rasping jar and Pearl Cason has been unceremoniously dumped in the body of the jail. It appears from a complaint on file in the circuit court that Pearl has been trilling with the affections of Miss Nellie M. Proctor, of near New Market. The trilling was done down at the Shades of Death along in dog days, one of which days waB evidentally Pearl's. What makes the case an exceedingly ugly one is the fact that Nellio is under sixteen years of age.

THE FEE AND SALARY LAW.

What Will Probably lie Done—Auditors aud Treasurer* Will Be Relieved.

Attorney General Ketcham is satisfied with the opinion of the Supreme Court on the fee and salary law. It is understood that he will recommend to the coming Legislature that two things be done. (1) That section No. 126 of the law be so amended as to exempt treasurers and auditors from the provision that unless the fees collected shall equal the amount of salary named in the law the compensation shall not exceed the amount of fees collected. (2) That there be a law enacted relieving county auditors and treasurers from the duty of repaying to the board of county commissioners the salaries that have been advanced.

It is pretty well understood that the county oflicers will not be satisfied with these two enactments. There will be a demand, i: is said, that the law of 1895 be repealed, or be amended so as to provide for the larger compensation in many of the counties. It is reported that some of the members of the Legislature were nominated and elected with the understanding that they favor changes in the law.

The men who had most to do with framing the law two years ago are still of the opinion that it is a just measure, and the indications are that most of the members of the new General Assembly will be opposed to reopening the Bubject except for the correction in Section No. 12G, for the relief of the treasurersaand auditors. It is pointed out that if the Legislature should attempt to increase the salary of a single county officer every other county ofiicer in the State would demand a hearing through his Representative or Senator, and the result would be a complete overturning of uhe work of the last General Assembly which the Supreme Court has now indorsed.

The Attorney General does not believe there will be any controversy over the proposition to relieve the treasurers and auditors. It is well understood that these two ollices got into the law. or into Section No. 120, inadvertently Lvery member of the joint conference committee has borne testimony to this fact. The Attorney General took the view that the treaturers and auditors were entitled to the compensation fixed in the law, and recommended that the commissioners arrange to pay the salaries. It will be an easy task, it is pointed out, for the Legislature to relieve those who have received salaries from the burden of returning the money to the counties.

There has been no fight on the new law by the State oflicers, who were' hit harder" than the county officers. It cuts oft' the fat fees in nearly every office it provides that no State ofiicer shall receive fees. The compensation of the Attorney General (who has fought to keep the law alive) was reduced from 810,000 to SIG.000 a year. Fees amounting to 525,000 or §30,000 a year were taken away from the Slate Aucitor: the Cierk of the Supreme Court was cut out of a neat sum, and the Secretary of State and the other officers were put oa straight salaries. It is estimated that the new law saves the State alone something like §100,000 a year. It has been only one year since the law went into effect against the State officers, and while the annual reports are not all in, enough of of them have been presented to indicate clearly that there has been a great change for the better. Some of the oflices are now more than self-sustain-ing. The Secretary of State's office, for instance, during the year Earned more than S50,000, while the expense of running it was about $10,000.

Those Henli|unrtsrs.

Indianapolis Journal: The Montgomery county friends of General Lew Wallace have decided to take hold of his canvass, arid it was the talk about the Deuison lobby last evening that they would open headquarters Monday next, with John Wingateand Representative McCrea in charge, and with Messrs. Williams, Bonnell, Graham and other Crawfordsville politicians to help out.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT. LADOGA'S FIRE.

John A, I,ons Is Captured While Stealing Corn at a Neighbor's Crib.

The fellow who will steal corn at its present price is surely enterprising and inclines one to class him in the category of those thrifty individuals who look after the mickles in the fond belief that the muckles will look after themselves. On Saturday night J. O. Fowler, who lives several miles north of the city, heard his dog bark in a peculiar manner, assumed only when strangers are on the premises. As the dog kept up his barking for an unwonted period Mr. Fowler slipped quietly out into the night. Three weeks ago he had gone out when similarly called and had frightened away a thief from his corn crib just across the road. This thief had been alarmed by Mr. Fowler's rather noisy approach at that time and getting a good start had escaped. On Saturday night, however, Mr. Fowler noiselessly approached the crib by a circuitous route and was soon within ten feet of a fellow who was pulling corn from the cracks of the crib and dropping it into a large two bushel sack. He did not perceive Mr. Fowlor until that gentleman coughed. Then he turned as though shot and fell back against the crib in the limpness of despair and shame. The thief was John A. Long, the veteran reprobate who was sent north some six years ago for stealing a plow, and who has long beea noted as a rascal from choice rather than necessity. He had nothing to say when Mr. Fowler first spoke but his tongue soon loosened and he expressed an ardent desire to fix things up. He pleaded that it was his first offense and would be his last. All the time he was talking he was stuffing the stolen corn from his sack back through the cracks of the crib. When he had completed this delectable task Mr. Fowler took him to the house and waited there while Mrs. Fowler went out and brought in several of the neighbors. Bud Tomlinson undertook to interrogate the old fellow but he, after preserving along silence, finally said: "You can tc.ke me out and kill me if you want to. I don't care whether I live or die anyhow, but I've got nothing to say."

This and he lapsed into a stoical silence which he maintained until after being landed in jail where he now lies. The neighbors of the old man state that they are anxious to have him committed to prison as he has been a long standing affliction, there being apparently no limit to his predatory and piratical methods. It is said he has not as yet begun to use his own corn supply, but has somehow managea to fatten twenty-five hogs and keep in good condition four head of horses and two cows. Long is the father of the notorious Nancy Lightcap Sering whose escapades created such a furore here a few years ago.

Or. A. It. Tucker'* Son.

A special from Noblesville says: "A telegram received in this city last night from Gen. Forscythe, of California, announced the release of Frank W. Tucker from military prison in San Francisco. N oting Tucker is the son of Auditor A. R. Tucker, of this city, late candidate for Congress in the Ninth district. He enlisted in the regular army several years ago and deserted. Last June he re-enlisted at St. Louis and was soon afterward sent to California with his regiment. I mine diately upon his arrival there he was arrested for desertion, court-martialed found guilty and his sentence fixed at two years at hard labor in military pribon. His release was procured through Congressman J. Frank Han ley and Senator Turpie."

IitBitne Women.

An act of the Legislature in force March 11, 1880, provides: "That in the conveyance of female insane persons to any hospital for the insane, the sheriff or other person deputed shall provide as an assistant in such conveyance. a proper female attendant This act is in urgent need of amendment. It should be so extended as to apply to women *-vho are conveyed from any insane hospital, and a penalty should be affixed for its violation. This is made necessary by the fact that the law has been repeatedly violated during the last few years by sheriffs, in defiance of the dictates of decency and humanity.—From Ley In lalive IicvommciKlatioiis hy Hoard of State

A Tough Young Nut.

It develops that Fred Rirchfi .-Id did not, as he alleged to, have in his possession a note from young Riley statinjr the hiding place of a keg of powder. The statement to this effect was made by young llirchfield merely to shield himself and had not groundwork, in fact. It is likely that the Rirehfield youngster will be sent to the reform school at Plainfield.

Death of Dnviil Binford.

Word has been received here of the death of David Binford, who went from this community some years ago and settled in Missouri. He leaves a family and quite a comfortable estate. David Rinford was an uncle of A. W. Rinford and Joseph llinford, of this city, and was a man respected by all who knew him.

Uulte a Blaze Which Did Damage Bnt Removed lilots on the Landscape,

Sunday morning at 3:30 o'clock a fire broke out in which the old Ladoga woolen mill and the Produce building, both belonging to Anderson & Fudge, were destroyed and the W. M. Darter elevator badly damaged. All the buildings were frame and large structures. The woolen mill was used for general storage and the Produce building was occupied by the Arthur Jordan company of Indianapolis. The loss is 83,900 and is partially insured.

The fire was discovered about 2:20 a. m. bv Charles Snodgrass, night watch, and he tried to sound the alarm with the fire bell. The bell was cracked and was hung in such a manner that it didn't make enough noise to awaken the next door neighbor. Word was then sent to the firemant Epperson's heading mill to tiedown the whistle and apply the steam. The whistle worked to perfection and ina few minutes every resident of the town was up and alert.

The fire originated in a large frame structure owned by John Anderson. It had been builtfor a woolen mill and had been used for that purpose for years. All of the floors were saturated with oil and the building made splendid fuel. It stood on the west side of the Monon tracks just south of a large carriage factory owned by Mr Rapp, and west of a mill and elevator conducted by William M. Darter, of Crawfordsville. The side track in front of the burning building was filled with cars. Some valuable lath machinery owned by Frank Gill and some baled hay and straw belonging to Mr. Darter were stored in the old mill

The cause of the tire is unknown and it was under considerable headway when discovered. When the volunteer fire department reached the scene with a hand engine the roof of the building was a mass of flames and the structure was doomed. The roof of the Darter mill caught fire in many places but the flames were extinguished as fast as they ignited. The Rapp carriage factory was charred on the south side but the flames did not get a foothold on the inside. The sides of several Monon freight cars, standing quite near the the building, were burned out before the cars could be moved. There was no locomotive and the cars bad to be moved by hand.

The flames from the woolen mill swept across a vacant lot on the west side of the mill and attacked and consumed a poultry establishment conducted by a gentleman named Manning. This building was also owned by John Anderson. There was considerable poultry in cases waiting shipment and all this burned. An ice house and a stable just west of the poultry establishment were scorched to some extent. The wind was still at the time of the fire and this was the only thing that prevented the most destructive conflagration the little city of Ladoga has ever experienced. The main building burned was quite old and the loss considering the magnitude of the fire and the danger was small. Mr. Manning, the poultry mail, carried enough insurance to make his loss good. Mr. Gill's loss on ma chinery is total. The members of the volunteer tire department did excel lent wook and have the credit of sav ing Mr. Darter's mill and elevator and several buildings.

Sulcirio of Prof* K. li. McKay. Capt. H. M. Billicjrsley on Monday received a copy of the Des Moins News containing a full account of the sui cide of IJrof. 1}. McKay at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on the 23d inst Prof. McKay was a nephew of Captain Hillingsley and the news came as a great shock. He was a young man of unusual promise, having graduated at Des Moines college in 1S8S with high honors. At the time of his death he occupied the Greek chair in Sioux Falls University, was an orator of marked ability, a debator of splendid capacity, and was recognized as one of the brightest young men Des Moines college ever irraduated. The cause of this rash act is attributed to an unbalancing of the mind, due to overwork and illness. His mother died in 181)0 but his father and several brothers still live at Des Moines.

A $»(1 Cane.

For several days "Jim" Rurwick, the railroad evangelist, who made such a hit here during the late Y. M. C, A. convention, has been holding religious services in the Pan-Handle shops at Indianapolis and much interest has been aroused. Among the converts was Charles II. Funk, a well known machinist. Last Thursday night he was deeply affected, and before morning he suddenly attacked his wife and children, to whom he is devotedly attached, they being compelled to flee for their lives. The police captured him with difliculty, Funk readily breaking a pair of handcuffs in his resistence and putting up a tremendous battle. He is delirious because of religous frenzy, and he imagines that he is dead in the body aud that his spirit is in heaven, reveling in beautiful visions and seeing all manner of strange sights.
