The mayor | had revoked the license of asaloon I keeper and an effort made to take an I appeal. The court held that there I could be no appeal. The ruling is a I most important one in all parts of the • state. A health circular has just been issued by the state board of health concerning scarlet fever, its sanitary features and directions for its management and prevention of its spread. It discusses the symptoms the precautions that should be taken in its treatment and sets out general rules regarding this disease and the duties of health officers and physicians.

He says that there is not a x demand in the east for horses and many are being offered without bids. The horse market is always first affected by i any business flurry and is about the last to recover for buyers hold off until sheer necessity compels them to buy. This will be a little hard upon the farmers who have held their horses for a better market but there has been a general feeling that prices have been too high.—Columbia City Post. There is nothing to prevent the members of the board of the northern prison at Michigan City from extending to Thomas J. McCoy, the Rensselaer banker, the clemency provided by the indeterminate sentence law and extended to other persons who have been convicted of some offense. The board will meet on December 1 and Mr. McCoy’s friends will expect to hear that he has been paroled. The parole should have been given in July, but while his case has been considered at every meeting of the board since then, he has not been given his freedom. It was thought by some that thd board deferred the parole for his own | good. Local retail stores threw open their doors yesterday morning after a holiday in commemoration of Thanksglving. With the re-opening will conie the showing of holiday goods and the Decatur stores enter the field for the favor of the shopper with one of the most complete showings ever displayed in this part of the country, the cities not excepted.

The early showing will give to the careful buyrs an opportunity to shop early, with the attendant advantages of full 1 stocks to select from and, also, eva- , slon of the rush that is sure to preI vail later in the season. On strength of an opinion of AttorI ney General Bingham, City Clerk Redding, of Montpelier, has turned over to County Auditor L. W. Daugherty all books pertaining to the city taxes of Montpelier, and hereafter Treasurer Lourent will find it his duty to collect Montpelier taxes. There has been much discussion during recent months as to the legality of a certain clause in the new statutes of Indiana pertaining to wljp shall collect the taxes for cities in the fifth class. Although the question has been taken to the supreme court no decision has been rendered. However, the attorney general gives as his private opinion that the same will hold good.

Everything has two handles-one by which it may be borne, another by which it cannot If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his Injustice, for by that it cannot be borne, but rather by the opposite, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you, and thus you will lay hold on it as it is to be borne.— Epictetus.
