THE GOLDEN RULE

A Villainous Campaign Lie ltauimed Down the Throat of the Man Who Gave It Currency.

Several days ago a Crawfordsville paper published a statement to the effect that some Republican leaders of Ripley township had met in the ountsville E. church to conspire for th9 purchase of votes on election day. The article described the meeting in detail and the writer spoke as an eye witness, stnting facts and not suspicions. Monday the editor of the paper whicn frave cu r^ncy to this I scmdalous aud 11 wurruni^iJi urtole was forced to publish the following cards: "CllAW'FOUDSVIU.K, I'jcl Out HI—I

I was present during all the meeting until it was adjourned, and know that DO matters were talked of, or considered, with reference to politics or any particular party or raising money for any political purposes. The matter of raising money for the purpose above mentioned was canvassed, and the territory in which subscriptions were to be solicited was divided among the four stewards of the church, who, with the pastor, were the only men present at the meeting.

"In view of erroneous impressions which have become current regarding a certain meeting held in the Methodist church at Yountsville on Monday evening, Oct. 24, I deem it best in exoneration of the church and its work to make a simple statement of the facts I, as pastor of the church and chairman of the official board, called this meeting for a consideration of financial matters pertaining to the work of the year. We met at 7 p. m. and were occupied perhaps an hour and a half wholly in the consideration of thte same. HABBY S. WHITE,

A Fine Address.

J. F. Stutesman spoke at Noblesville Saturday night and the Ledger of that place says in the course,of an extended notice: "Barring the eloquent Mr. Beverige, the most logical and eloquent speech that has been made to the Republican voters of Noblesville by an Indiana orator this campaign was delivered by Hon. James Stutesman, of Peru, in the court house Saturday night. The speech abounded in unanswerable arguments and those who were present considered the time well spent in listening to Mr. Stutesman."

The streets were thronged and a large portion of the people out wore masks. Some of the costumes were vary striking and some of them wero very handsome and unique.

R. B. F. PEIRCE'S ILLNESS.

Unconscious for A.whil«, but Now Much Improved.

Indianapolis Journal: There was much concern among a large circle of friends in this city yesterday when alarming reportB as to the condition of R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Clover Leaf route, came from Cincinnati. Mr, Peirce was taken suddenly ill while on a train near that city, and it was feared his condition was quite serious. Last night the Journal received a telephone message from John W, Chipman, an intimate friend of Mr. Peirce, who went at once to Cincinnati upon receiving word of his illness. "We understand," said Mr. Chipman, "that very alarming reports have reached Indianapolis as to Mr. Peirce's condition, but I am happy to say that at this hour they are unwarranted, for the physician tells me there ia nothing to cause undue apprehension. Mr. Peirce was overcome on a train, and was brought here as soon as possible and taken direct tn the Cincinnati city hospital. The physician in charge said the illness was due to the stoppage of some function of the kidneys, that the condition was not an unusual one, and under proper care the patient should recover in a few days, without any serious after effects. Mr. Peirce never had a suspicion that these organs were affected in any way, and it is hardly probable there will be any permanent trouble. He fainted away first and for awhile was unconscious, but to-night he is conscious and recognized his friends who called. He is quite weak to-night from exhaustion brought about by a process to induce perspiration. We expect to bring him to Indianapolis to-morrow or the next day."

Mr. Peirce is one of the best known men in Indiana. He is general manager of the I & W., as well au receiver of the Clover Leaf. He haB recently been at Toledo and from there went to Cincinnati to meet President Woodford of the C., H. & D. Yesterday morning he started to return home, but became ill on the train. His son, Edward Peirce, and John S. Lazarus also went to Cincinnati upon hearing reports of Mr. Peirce's illness.

All the Indiana Factories are Moomlng With Full Forces and Full Hours.

Indianapolis News: In prosecuting hiB work of state factory inspector, D. H. McAbee visits every part of the state, binco last spring he has inspected the manufacturing establishments at Mt. Vernon, on the southeast, and Ft. Wayne on the northeast, Michigan City ou the north and Madison and JeiTersonville on the south, and at most of the intervening points. When asked to-day as to the condition of business throughout the state, ho said: "Business is exccllont. vd is iiuDroving all the time. When 1 into an establishment, I invariably ask: 'ilow is busiDophanl the answer is as invariably, "AU wo can do.' Many cor,cernu aro running with a night force, something they were never known to d'j before. "At the beginning of the year a grent many orders for furniture were countermanded, but I do not think it was more than six weekB until these were all renewed, and many of them increased. In only one line have I discovered any dullness in business This is in bridge work, and it is very dull, hardly worth mentioning. 'A little dull' iB the answer I have recently received from bridge manufacturers. In one large factory the president recently gave me

thiB

answer: 'We are short

of common laborers, and I am afraid we shall have to send away for men, something I do not want to do.' "1 might say that all the factories in the state are at work, with very few exceptions, and that in almost all of these exceptions the factories are in litigation and must remain closed until thiB is settled in some way. The outputs of the manufacturers in the state are larger than ever before but improved machinery az»d appliances have displaced a large number of men in many lines of work, notably in the making of shoes, glass, Iron and steel and in wood working. More people are employed generally than I have ever known to be the case at any previous time, and this number is being constantly increased. WageB are not so high as they wero during the period of inflation, after the civil war, but the money received now will buy more than the money did which was received then."

Another Work-Out.

The following special from Lafayette gives the details of a swindle exactly similar to tbe McMecban swindle here a year or so ago: "A year ago there appeared in this city a richlydressed man of middle age, who called on one or two bankers gave his name as Benjamin Parker said he represented an implement manufacturing house, and asked if it would be possible to negotiate a mortgage note for 83,000 in case he was able to consummate a deal with John Malsbury, a farmer living near Romney, this county. After a few dayB the Lafayette savings bank agreed to discount the paper in case the mortgage provea to be all right. The stranger went about his business. A few days later he returned with an abstract, perfect in its detail, and a note calling for $3,000, The transaction was completed and the man styling himself Benjamin Parker retired from thiB vicinity. Until Saturday last the matter had been given but little thought. John Malsbury was known as a well-to-do farmer, and his paper was regarded as good as gold. Recently interest on the note became due and the farmer received tbe usual no tice informing him of the fact. The no tice was a complete ^surprise to him, He came to the city on Saturday, and called at the bank, pronounced the signatures to the papers a forgery, and denied all knowledge of the man or the transaction. It is also said that the stranger forged the name of a justice of the peace in Malsbury's township in securing tne acknowledgment of the mortgage. In any event, he succeed ed in enriching himself to tbe extent mentioned, and there is no trace of him. Bank officials are reticent as to the transaction, but will make every effort to capture the smooth swindler. The bank is one of the substantial institutions of the county, and will be in no wise embarrassed by the transaction,"

Asks That Case Be Transferred. Indianapolis Journal: A suit was tiled in the Montgomery circifii- court at Crawfordsville by Ida Howard asking 85,000 damages for injuries received in an accident 011 the T. H. fc I. Volney Malott, who is receiver for the road,

A Birthday Celebration.

On Oct. 30 the relatives and friends gathered at the home near Cherry Grovo to celebrate Grandma Davie' ninetieth birthday. It was nicely arranged by her daughters and their husbands and her son to make it a day of pleasure to all. Rachel Webster was born in Armugha, Ireland, in 1808. At the age of twenty-one she was married to Richard Davis and on the 12th day of May, 1820, they sailed for America, landing at Quebec July 12. Working their way westward they settled on the farm where she has lived ever since, her husband having departed this life thirty-two years ago. Her mind is clear and to see her moving in and out and up and down stalrE and to hear her talk one would have the impression that she was about fifty. With the exception of being a little deaf she bids fair to see a hundred years. Her daughters are Mrs. Levi Thomas, Mrs. Henry Walter, Mrs. Jas. Flemming, and Mrs. Jpmes Mclntire. She has one Bon, Fletcher Davis. The latter two, with whom she makes her home, are making her last years her pleasanteBt ones One son, Abraham Davidson, living In Kansas, was absent. After a dinner that was past all competition we soon begun to leave for our homes hoping that grandma might live to see several more birthdays.
