Ho ill Serve For the. Next Two Years as

Central I'oiuin ittee.

The Republican County Central Committee, which was elected Saturday, .lan. 32. met last Saturday in the email court room to elect a chairman. The meeting- was a large one, all the committee being present except five.

Chairman Bonnell called the meeting to order and appointed Fred Doherty as secretary. The roll of townships was called ana the committeemen responded when their precincts were named. There was some controversy as to the committeemen from Number 2 in Sugar Creek. Walter Shoen responded to the call from number 2 but John Dittamore of Wayne protested, claiming that another man, not present, had been elected. The committee, however, voted to allow Shoen to vote for chairman. Protest can still be filed against his serving, however, if anyone wishes to do so.

Dr. Barcus and J. S. Kelly were appointed tellers to count the vote on chairman and nominations were called for. Dr. Barcus nominated W. T. Fry John Dittamore nominated A. F. Ramsay. The vote was by ballot and resulted: Fry, 31 Ramsey, 0 Dr. Barcus, Col. Wingate and A. L. Simpson were appointed to escort Mr. Fry to the chair. He accepted the position with a few remarks earnestly asking the support of all.

II. M. Perry was elected vice-presi-dent and also made some liappy remarks.

It was then voted, on motion of Win. Johnson, to defer the election of secretary and treasurer until the next meeting, two weeks later.

J. R. Bonnell and Col. Wingate then made short addresses and the committee adjourned to visit Gen. Wallace at his study. They were received by the General with the greatest cordiality and all were regaled with fruit and cigars.

Darlington Gossip.

Darlington Echo: Mrs. Will Thompson received a sealed, special delivery stamped letter from her husband last Friday, the contents of which is a matter of conjecture to all except the recipient. It is 6aid her health is greatly impaired caused by worry relative to the coming trial which will take place about the 20th of next month. She eats but little, her hands are constantly cold, blood circulates irregular and she complains of difficult breathing in one lung, besides a pain in the shoulder where the ball is supposed to be located. Her parents are much alarmed. Some unheard of and unexpected things are looked for and an anxious public awaits the coming of the trial with the greatest anxiety.

Miss Kroiit Iteturiling.

PUGILISTIC PLUGS.

Couple of lllimtt'i'iiiK Hoys Who Didn't Want lo l-'iylil, Uuilc ii I'lni in the Charmed '»rele 01 the I'm Horn |uyls.

A prize fight was booked to occur last riday night in Martin's ice house but it wasn't pulled oil" The indications arc that both the principals were keen for police interference and it is certain that their efforts secured it.

The young men scheduled to mutilate and mash each other were Asa Davis and a teamster named Doyle, both of whom had been in training for some weeks lhe place agreed upon the bloody battle was one of the empty ice houses of (Vm. Martin & Son. The owners of the ice house were not consulted, it being taken for granted that the glory of having furnished shelter for the illustrious gang in attendance would more than recompense for rental.

As the time of the contest drew near the principals evidently began to weaken, for the pledges of profound secrecy wore Uagrantly violated and others than the elect were given tips. It is certain that one of the aspiring "pugs" put in most of his time on Wednesday and Thursday furnishing information of the affair to all he met. As a consequence all the authorities were well aware of what was planned as, indeed, was nearly every one else in town. Consequently Marshal Grimes yanked both young men up before him Friday evening and gave them a very straight talk as to what they might expect if they indulged in any fistic frills. Both of them eagerly withdrew from the contract and even went so far as to sign a paper promising to be good forevermoie.

The bums who had worked the fight up were thoroughly disgusted at the turn affairs took and expressed themselves in the most inelegant terms imaginable. /.- It is about time for people to learn, however, that there are no prize fighters hereabouts, and that all agreements to fight are very chilly bluffs.

A Yietim of Credit.

Wavelaud Independent: John W. Cuppy, of the Big Department Store, made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, Monday, naming W. T.Whittington as assignee. The liabilities are reported to be in the neighborhood of S6.000 assets considerably less. The crash was not unexpected, as it has been known for some time that he was :n financial straits. The cause of the failure is generally attributed to attempting too much business on a limited capital. He engaged in the shoe business with his father about four years ago. Prospering in that, he soon began to branch out, first putting in bicycles as a side line. Then followed an ice cream parlor, harness shop, groceries, ice, telephone line, meat market, bakery, restaurant and other lines. Many proved unprofitable, and the business was expensive to conduct. Much of his goods were sold on credit, and he found it impossible to make collections to meet his 'bills. His father withdrew from the firm last June. The restaurant and bakery are not involved in the catastrophe, as they belong to Mrs. Cuppy.

Oil' the Docket.

Never again will the attorneys of this bar hear the court call for cause number 8536. For eleven years it hap had a place on the docket and for more than half that period has headed the docket. The cause was that of the receiver of the Ladoga Creamery Company and to day the receiver's final report was made he was dismissed and the case was out of court. Out of it grew much litigation and three times the issues were fought in the Supreme Court.

lias About Served Uis Time. The term of Theodore P. Ilaughey, who pleaded guilty to wrecking the Indianapolis National Bank and was sentenced to six years in the Michigan City penitentiary, June 7, 1894, will expire Sept. 9 next, or, if the court costs are paid, Aug. 9. His sentence was dated from April 9, 139-1. The court costs amounted to 8350, and will, no doubt, bj paid, so he will likely be released in August.

M. A. Kapp Haggles.

Our enterprising buggy and harneBB dealer, Joe E. Fisher, has taken the agency for the Rapp buggies made at Ladoga, Ind, These goods are well known by many of our readers and need no introduction to the trade. They are of high grade and very durable.

Mr. Fisher has a well equipped "harness shop," and he tells us he is now making practically everything in the harness line, using nothing but pure oak stock, and employing only competent workmen. His store is very attractive, occupying the double room belonging to Johnson Clore on south Washington street.

David W. llartman died Saturday night about eleven o'clock at his residence on Morgan street. His demise was not unexpected as his recovery had been despaired of since Thursday. He had been in j-oor health for somo time, suffering from the grip, but only for a few days had his case been regarded as serious and his death came as a 6hock to his many friends. The funeral occcurrod Tuesday afternoon at two clock under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity the Rev. Dr. Brumbaugh and Rev. G. W. Switzer, of Lafayette, conducting the services.

Asa Davis was a caller alj the JurrtNAI. office Monday and Btated that he wished people to know that he had not been blufliugin regard to his light with teamster I)jyle. Davis states that the light is yet to be pulled off and will positively occur within the next two weeks.

Davis says that the place of combat will be kept religiously secret until the night of the fray. Both Davis and Doyle will be heavily backed by local sports and they have been assurred that large crowds from Ladoga, Covington and other points will grace the occasion with their presence and their coin.

The True Spirit of Ad vm-Uslng. Ad Sense: If advertisers only knew t, it is so much better to be absolutely frank with the public. The representations of a concern are soon rated at their true worth, whether made by the proprietor and salesman at the store or by the advertising man through the newspaper columns and to just the degree that they are recognized as dependable, do they crmnt. Much newspaper space, without question, is wasted in needless verbosity of statement, because the public has learned to distrust the usual advertisements, and it is deemed necessary to embellish and exaggerate when, had the concern established a reputation for exactitude of statement, it could have iu half the space bettor accomplished its purpose.

lcith of i\li'h, Ann MelNumoe. Mrs. Ann McNamee, aged sixty-two years, died of consumption Saturday evening at 5 o'clock at her home in the south end. She leaves five children.

There is more catarrh in this secton of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a groat many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and proscribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for auy c&so it falls to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials
