JOHN C. FULLEM WIDER*

He Spring* Iuto Prominence Again at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Yesterday morning Jerome H. Scott and his wife, Josephine Scott, filed a suit against Nannie E. and Richard Miles and John C. Fullenwider to have a deed "reformed" and for SI,000 damages.

The Btory of the case as related by Mr. and Mrs. Scott in their complaint, was that on Aug. 19, 1S98, they purchased from the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. Miles, through Fullenwider, certain lots of real estate on east Washington street. They also gave in the bargain "a parcel" of unincumbered real estate. On the property deeded to them by Miles and wife was a mortgage of 81,000 and various incumbrances in the way of city improvements. It was the distinct understanding in the trade that the deed made to them should embody the consideration that the property should come to them free from all incumbrances. They afterward discovered that the deed executed to them and which was placed on record provided that they were to pay off the mort gage. Mr. iand Mrs. Scott charged "fraud and swindling" against the de fendants and asked for judgment a* indicated.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LAW.

senator Nusbauin Will Try to Have Oue i'assed This Session.

senator Nusbaum, of DeKalb and Noble counties, has a bill unlike any thing ever introduced in the Indiana legislature. It is to compel children to attend church and Sunday school, though its title describes it aB an act requiring a more thorough preparation of children for citizenship by giving them a more systematic training and development of their moral and religious faculties.

The senator, while not prominent in church affairs, has a great interest in the morals of children, and has given his subject considerable study. His bill provides that all children between the ages of five and fifteen years shall have each Sabbath at least one hour's religious instruction at some church, denomination not designated. Those parents who make oath that they do not believe in God or Christianity are to be exempt.

If there is not in the neighborhood a church of the denomination which the parents would like to have their children attend, then the parents are to give the instruction to the children themselves.

Nannie Itosebanni's Lover.

Bloomington Telephone. It is now believed that ex-county superintendent Thomas J. King has been recently or is at present in Monroe county. Two prominent farmers residing southwest of the city reported Saturday that they had seen King Friday evening, and that there could ba no question as to his identity. So positive were they that the matter was laid before Sheriff Kit.ser, who will make an effort to effect King's capture. King's object in loitering in this vicinity is not known unless he has determined to give himself up when court convenes.

An Anonymous Letter.

To the Editor of the Journal. A month or two ago Wint Miller, the youthful son of James Miller, who lives near Elmdale, was sent to Plainfield on the charge of stoaling cattle of a widow, Sarah Cowan. Some have believed the boy innocent and now their belief is fully satisfied by his fathers receipt of an anonymous letter from Bowling Green, Ky., dated Jan. 3. The letter stated that the writer was the criminal, that he was many miles away and that Wint had no hand in the stealing^

SENATOR GILL.

Tlic Populist Statesman of Montgomery ThIIh What, He Thinks oi Some Proposed Legislation.

A representative of Tuk Joukxai, had a talk with W. H. Gill, the Populist senator from Montgomery county last Monday and the senator opened up his heart on several matters to be legislated on this winter. Said he, "The nonstate school presidents are all wrong. By that I mean they are too tame. Their half-hearted methods make me tired. If they want mo to take oil' my coat and whoop things up they will put up a bill knocking all appropriations for the State University, the State Normal and Purdue in the head. They are all fakes and it is a shame to tax the people of this state so enormously for what does so little good.

The State University is a scandal and the State Normal is but little better. They are simply institutions to pay fat salaries to a lot of fellows at state expense. The State Normal isn't any better than any of the reBt. It costs Indiana over a thousand dollars for every teacher graduated there and it iB a fact that it is cheaper for teachers to attend other schools that do just at good work. Whereby is Indiana benefitted in that deal, I would like to know? Run the whole pack to the tall brush, say I."

Senator Gill iB on the committee on public health and states that his committee will knife the barbers' bill and never even let it see daylight, lie will favor the law which makeB it a penalty for a persor to spit on the sidewalk or in a car, provided the bill is presented in a practical way. He hasn't as yet decided for whom he will vote for senator but declares that TurDie can have the barren compliment of his vote.

SHOULD MODIFY LAWS.

w. \v. Thornton's View ol" County Township StatuteH.

W. W. Thornton, formeriy of this city, spoke before the Progress Club at Indianapolis on the subject of township government. Whether or not the legislature adopts any reformatory legislation this winter, he said, it ought to take steps to codify the laws regarding the government of counties, townships and towns, as well as the school and road laws. The laws on these subjects, he said, contain many contradictory clauses, and even sect'ons many of their provisions are never construed by the courts and the unlearned in law are compelled to act upon their own interpretation of them and no man knows what all the Indiana county, township and town laws mean. Mr. Thornton said that no doubt there would be some so-called reformatory legislation on the subject of local government, but whether it would be accepted as reformatory by the true and conscientious reformers remained to be seen.

An Indiana Slave.

A recent report on slavery in Indiana showed that there was one slave lived as late as 1810 in Putman county. The Greencastle Banner advertised to learn the details of this matter and P. H. Magill, of this city, replied as follows: "My father, who with his mother, came to Indiana in 1S3G, brought this colored woman with them. She was the property'of my grandfather, U. P. Magill, who lived in Lancaster county, Ky. She was not held as a 6lave in Indiana, but was a free woman. My father's youngest sister married Caleb Osborne. The old woman lived with them forty years ago, as Mr, Lovd says, and was a member of the M. E. church at Pisgah, near Portland Mills."

estate Pharmaceutical Board. The bill for a state pharmaceutical board, which was passed at the session of two years ago and was vetoed by the governor, was re-introduced in the house Tuesday by Representative Noel, of Indianapolis. Before the bill was offered it was taken to the governor, who went over it carefully with the druggists interested in it, and was approved throughout. In the main the bill does-not differ from that passed two ye^rs ago.

Jennie Cooml» McGrigg.

At Indianapolis Monday Mrs. Jennie Coombs McGrigg entered suit for divorce from her husband, George W. McGrigg. Both plaintiff and defendant are Crawfordsville products and were married here in 1892. After marriage Mrs. McGrigg figured in several sensations. She alleges failure to provide. She is now a saleswoman in a Washington Btreet, Indianapolis, store.

The Ice Outlook.

Martin & Son report that a good field of ice is now forming on the dam, but it is as yet nothing like thick enough to cut. All the ice now on the creek has formed since the snow, the stream having been very high before that. All the houses are now empty and the firm is anxious to refill them this season.

Petition in IJauUruptcy.

Indianapolis Journal: A petition in bankruptcy was yesterday filed in the United States court by Henry Sloan, of Crawfordsville. Sloan shows that his liabilities are $2,931.93.

COUNTY SALARIES.

Ail Attempt to Increaxe Tliem ly Changing the CIhhh.

A concerted movement is on foot to increase the salaries of county officers in a number of counties by raising a certain number of counties from one class to the next higher in the classification of the fee and salary law. An effort will be made to show that the counties which are seeking a raise have a large increased volume of business over 1895, when they were classified by the fee and salary law. It is not known as yet ju6t how many counties are behind the movement, but it will have a substantial backing. A movement of this kind, participated in by a number of counties distributed over the state, would obviate the constitutional objection that the law might be of local application. The bill will be introduced by Representative Bonham, of Hartford City. The classification of the fee and Balary law is based on the volume ofj business transacted in tho county, and all that is neces6&ry to increase the B&lftries in a number of counties is to pass a blanket act declaring that such counties belong to a higher'?class within the meaning of the fee and salary law.

There will probably be few counties that will not try and squeeze into the bill.

THE BLIND ASYLUM-

Talk of Its iseing Moved to .Some l'olnt In the Gas Belt.

A meeting was held at Indianapolis last week by the trustees of the state institution for the blind, and it was the unanimous opinion that the state interest would be benefited by dispos ing of the present property occupied by the institute and purchasing an other site. The buildings and grounds of tho institute are estimated as being worth $500,000 and it is thought by the trustees that a new home could bo built for at least 8350,000. Their plan would be for the state to purchase about fifteen acres of land and estab lish an institution on the cottage plan The location of the present home more expensive in one way from the fact that all the coal used for fuel has to be carted, costing the state fifty cents more a ton than any of the ifiBti tutions which can be reached by railroad switch. The trustees are thinking of moving the institution to some point in the gas belt, which will probably be done if they decide to sell the present property.

COUGH UP.

A Number ot itcvenne Stamps Will Have tq.he l'aated on Bonds and Other

,c

IiiRtruuieiits Now on File at the Court House.

Internal revenue inspector Martin, of Cincinnati, was in the city Wednesday and settled a number of questions concerning which the officials have been in doubt for some time. Quite a number of bonds, certificates and mortgages now on file in the offices of the auditor and clerk will have to be stamped. All the retail liquor dealers, who have filed bonds since July 1, will have to come in and affix fifty cent stamps to these instruments. All school fund mortgages made since July 1 for over 81,000 will have to be stamped also. The charge is twenty-five cents for all mortgages over one thousand and under fifteen hundred, and twen-ty-five cents for each additional five hundred. All insurance certificates have to be stamped, ana in fact, it will be hard to find any sort of an instrument that doesn't.

Gravel road bonds, costs bonds, and all bonds given for public improvement are exempt but they are all that come under the free list.

Capt. May's .Successor.

Governor Mount Monday forwarded a communication to the secretary of war requesting the assignment to Indianapolis of Lieut. Edward R. Crisman as inspector of tho Indiana national guard. He wiil succeed Capt. May, who goes to Cuba to join his regiment. Lieut. Crjsman is an Indiana boy, having been born near Connersville and having lived there until he entered West Point. He secured his appointment after a competitive examination and was near the head o» his class at graduation. Lieut Crisman was in the battle of San Juan hill and after the death of his captain, who was killed in the battle, took command of his company and led it to victory. He is a quiet, unassuming man and the appointment has come to him unsolicited. He is a lieutenant in the sixth infantry U. S. A.

Flour Going Up.

Flour took a sudden rise Monday in the wholesale price, jumping from S3.75 a barrel to 84 for family ilour, and from 84.25 to §4.50 the patent flour. This was caused by the late rise in the price of wheat from 62 cents to 05 cents. The retail trade will also probably be affected as a result but it has not gone up in the local market aB yet.

To the Soldiers* Homo.

Neal McCallum, a member a Company M, 158th Indiana regiment, has been admitted to the Soldiers' Home at Lafayette. He contracted disabilities while in the service. The young man lives at Linden.

ABOLISH FREE LUNCHES.

Fight, lixprnrecl Over a Bill to Be Introiuce! by Mr, lledgcock.

Representative J. A. Hedgcock, of Clinton county, hae propared & bill which he will introduce that will likely precipitate a bitter fight by the saloon element of the state. Mr. Hedgeock's bill makes it a misdemeanor to serve lunch in a saloon, and if passed will do away with the time honored graft of free lunches

The restaurant keepers are all earnestly in favor of tho bill, but itB most earnest support will come from the temperance element and for that reason the bill will probably cause a renewul of the old fight between saloon and temperance elements which has been such a conspicuous feature of Indiana legislatures during the present decade. Temperance advocates claim that a very large per cant of the patronage of saloons is obtained through the free lunch graft.

New Dollar ltllls.

Samples of the new 1899 issue of one do'lar silver certificates have been ia»* Bued in Washington. They are printed from entirely new designs and are practically free from the defects of the old issues The numerals are very large, and thus the danger of being raised is materially redutd. The distinguishing feature of the face of the notes is a spread eagle, with a United States flag in its talons, and the United States capitol building in the distance. Miniature portraits of Lincoln and Grant, surrounded by laurel wreaths are placed on the lower line of the face of the note and one large numeral and the seal are printed in blue, and on both face and back there is more uncovered white paper showing than on any other note hitherto printed, this being in accordance with the ideas of experienced treasury officials. Some of the new issue have been shipped to the sub treasuries

THEY WANT TO TELL

These Grateful Women Who Havo Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkhain.

Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of tLo$T atatements for the benefit of other wo-w men. Here are two such letters:

Mrs. Lizzie Beverly, 258 Merrimao St., Lowell, Mass., writes: It affords me great pleasure to tell all suffering women of thebenefitlhave received from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's VegetableCompound. I can hardly find words to express my gratitude lor what she has done forme. My trouble was ulceration of the womb. I was under the doctor's caro. Upon examination he found fifteen very large ulcers, but he failed to do me good. I took several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's medicine saved my life, and I would recommend it to all suffering women."

Mrs. Amos Tromuleay, Ellenburgh Ctr., N. Y.. writes: I took cold at the time my baby was born, causing me to have millr legs, and was sick in bed for eight weeks. Doctors did me no good. I surely thought I would die. 1 was also troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times a day. One day a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and advised me to try it. I did so, and had taken only half a bottle before I was able to sit in a chair. After taking I three bottles I could do my own work.

I am now in perfect health."
