Monday morniug in the circuit court two suits were filed against the bond of ex-Treasurer Mutton. One suit for SI5,000 was filed against the bond of his first term and the second suit for a like suin against the bond of his second term.
Prosecutor Kennedy and Crane it Anderson appear for the county and the complaints merely allege that certain sums of money are dute the county from Mr llutton. Of course, it is not expected that anything- like the sums demanded will be recovered, but the amounts asked were made large enough to cover all that might come out in the course of trial. The time of the trial has not vet been fixed but it will probably occur next Fall. llHSr TKK.M HONK. j'i-v John C. Mutton, Joseph S. Henry, Saiiiuul Welkel, Alexander Harper, A lex'der T. Thompson.

Trouble from Coal Crm-U.
In settling Tuesday with lien Swank, assessor of Coal Creek, the County Commissioners were confronted with a complaint presented by some of the residents of that township in which it was charged that Swank's bill was exorbitant. lien's bill was
§358,
and the remonstrators urged upon the Commissioners that Charles MeCullough, of lirown township, had in a bill for only S21C, whereas his township was of just the same size and wealth as Coal Creek and with more polls. Swank had had four deputies, while MeCullough had done all his work with the assistance of his wife. The doughtv lien fairly p&wed up the boards from the lloor in his protestations of honesty and economy. For all that, however, he had
some ugly
figures in front of him. Finally the
Commifsioners allowed the Coal Creek
bill under protest.
Into Ollll-I-.
Ward li. Walkup entered upon his duties as county superintendent Wednesday. He last Tuesday filed his bond of §3,800 with J. LI. Conner and John M. Walkup as bondsmen. Monday night Walnut township fittingly celebrated the election of Mr. Walkup and the noise was plainly heard in Crawfordsville.
Mr. Zuck, the retiring superintendent, has been a most acceptable and ellicient ollicer. He leaves an excellent record and his administration of eight years has witnessed a marked progress in the schools. He will probably resume the practice of law in Crawfordsville but intends to spend the next six months in Waynetown, as he has considerable business there which needs attention.

On the farm of Henry Davidson is one of the star apple orchards of the whole western country. It was planted sixty-live years ago by Mr. Davidson's father and has been bearing lino fruit for sixty years, the old fashioned Vandever being the predominant variety. Some of the trees are of an immense size and measure ten feet in circumference. Some of the limbs have a circumference of live feet and the trees, many of them, have a "spread" of fifty feet. The trees are still strong and thrifty and the fruit is excellent. The trees are the lineal

A special from Terre Haute, says: The commencement, exercises proper of Coates college, and perhaps of the last class to graduate from this Presbyterian institution for the higher education of women, were held this evening at Washington avenue church. The Rev. Dr. II. A. Percival, of Logansport, delivered the addresss. Last night there was the graduate recital of music and to-morrow night the reception by the president, John Mason Duncan, will be given at the college. The candidates who received degrees were as follows:
Bachelor of Science—(Jrace Lee, Crawfordsville. Bachelor of Arts —Mary Stimson, Terre Haute.
Seminary (iraduate—Ora Sala, Logar.sport. (Iraduate of School of Music—Lida Love, Frankfort.
Coates College was founded by Mrs. Jane Coates, of (ireencastle, about twelve years ago and it was supposed that she had bequeathed to it perhaps 3-10,000. Instead the property values shrunk to §12,000 or S15,000. The Presbvterians of the State and the national board of aid of the church undertook to put the institution on a paying basis a few years ago and §50,000 was subscribed, but the hard times prevented the collection of the money. The tirst of this year a committee of prominent Presbyterians of the State was selected to raise money, but it found the chances all against success.
A receiver has been appointed and the school will close with this term. Its curriculum was ol the highest standerd and ranked with Wellesley aud Vassar. There has been some talk among the faculty aud alumni of Wabash College of making Coates College a co-ordinate branch of Wabash, but no authoritative proposition has been received by the trustees of Coates.
Slate Sunday School Convention. When you purchase a ticket for Winona to attend the State Sunday school convention next week it will seem to you that the agent is overcharging you 25 cents. The reason for it is this: The 25 cents is for gate fee, which admits you to any part of the grounds, and it is customary to include this in the railroad ticket. Special tickets have not been prepared by the rail-
roa
eornpanies, so that the regular
ones are U8ed WolI ou ,,st ur
