Take one —a bad cold, and you will be fashionable. You can find the rates of taxation in The Vk.mocb.bt. Ths great business of a jealous man’s life is to borrow trouble. The fellow who can't ‘’hold his own” had better not go courting. It is always in order to pay your subscription to The Democrat. The Bluffton party took supper at the Burt House, Monday evening. Stick to your good resolutions, but never treat yourself for keeping them. Hon. Geo. W. Steele has our thanks for a copy of the report of the Tariff Commission. Several of our young people took advantage of the snow and went to Tim Coffee's Tuesday night. We are all looking forward to the good time coming, but why not enjoy yourself and be happy new. There is nothing more useful than a good stock of patience kept where it can be found when wanted. Fort Wayne ought to give the country another dose of che’ap cologne and finish up their Masonic Temple. Besure you are right before you go ahead. If not sure, it is better to side track and wait till you are sure. Do uot go there boys, because the Sturgis Michigan girls will not kiss any cigarette smoking youne men. Gospel meetings will b egin at the Christian church, Saturday evening, January 13, and conducted by M. L. Blaney. Mrs. John Niblick entertained a number of ladies and gentlemen Monday evening, in honor of her husband s birthday. Our young people were at Bluffton latt night, for a sleigh ride. They speak highly of their entertainment while there. We have had fair sleighing this week. There has been enough snow fallen during each night for the next days consumption. I There has been a considerable amount of ice packed this week, in thickness it is fair to middling, quoting the market reports. Tax Democrat suggest to the “literary" of this place to wrestle with, which is the most fun—to see a man try to thread a needle, or a woman drive a nail. There are a great many earnest petitions for snow —a regular old fashioned sledding snow. Such a snow would make the timber business lively while it lasted. A number of our citisens surprised James Martin’s family, who are in destitute circumstances on Monday night, by taking them a quantity of provisions and clothing. A large amount of gravel it being transported over the G. R. 4 I. for the C. &A. road. The ballasting at this time extends between six and seven miles east and west of this place. It will be a considerable time yet before the road will be ready to run regular trains. The First National bank, of Indianapolis, sent a 15.000 package to the Citizen’s National, of Muncie. It came through direct, but when opened, contained only five one dollar bills. It is the story of the Bluffton bank repeatI ed. The regular meeting of Sam Henry Post G. A. R. will be next Wednesday night. A general attendance is reI quested, as it is expected the muster.l iag officer will be present to install the l officers. In addition it is desirable to | take some action in regard to arming I and uniforming the members of the I post. To morrow, Pete Tonnellier will I have his sample room and restaurant j| “Jen, ready for business. He has I spared neither pains or expense in fitting up his establishment in first class I order, in both furniture and decoraI tions, and will stock it with the choic- | est the market affords. Pete proposal es to have the quietest, neatest and | cosiest sample room in the city, and ■ he invites an inspection and verificaI tion of these statements. There is a good place ready for eveI ry honest, sober, industrious, intelli- ■ gent young man in every community. I These are the conditions, and the ■ young man who is without them can ■ blame no om more than himself ■ There are few banks or business offi ■ ces but art open to young men of the ■ right kibd, and these positions will voluntarily come to the deserving. ■ Young man if you do uot fill some ■ one of them sooner or later, the fault Mfriti be yours.

ARRESTED FOR FORGER i i * A. K. HIHPHoN AND J. MHOWAI.TKI . Hlmsms Prlnrlsal a»S sh.waller DuseAmsunt el Forserlea, Escape of Simp. Alter Arrest—His He-arri-at end Other Partlealers. Sunday afternoon there was considerable excitement in the city, when it floated abroad on the wings of the wind, that A. F. Simpson and Jerome Showalter had been nrrested, by the filing of the necessary affidavits by the officers of the Adams County Bank, charging them with uttering false checks, etc. A. F. Simpson, the principal, came here from Pennsylvania, and soon after locating here he married a most estimable young woman of tlas county, and as far as we know, un-.il quite recently, has conducted htmsoli properly, until he had won the confi dence of many of our citisens. He taught several terms of school in different districts, and was considered oue among the best of our teachcis. For some time past he has been acti ig as special correspondent of the Cia- I ciunati Enquirer, and most, if not ;JII communications to that paper in m this place were written by him. Something over a year ago a commu nication appeared in the Enquirer from the neighboring hamlet of Monmouth. As it gave some of Mr. Simpson a experience, as bad come to our knowledge, we immediately gave h m credit for the authorship. It is, perhaps, the first time that a criminal wrote up and received pay for relating his own experience. However, i>e did not claim to be the hero. Mere recently he procured from Van Antwerp, Bragg 4 Co., dealers in school books, Cincinnati, 0., the agency for the sale of their works in this county, which furnished him with the opportunity to attempt the forgery for which he was arrested last Sunday. Showalter moved to this place from DeKalb county, where he is well known. He is a young married man respectably connected, and since l.is coming here has been a quiet, sobor, hard-working, industrious citizi u. Those who know him best uniform iy give him a good name. The first intimation that something was wrong occurred on Friday la t. The bank received a communication, mailed at Pleasant Mills, this coun.y, purporting to have been written y Bruce Carr, of Michigan City, one of the state agents of Van Antwerp, Bragg 4 Co. It contained two checis, one purporting to have been sign :d by Henry Luttman, trustee of R< ot township, for 192.75, and another purporting to have been signed by L M. Fuller, trustee of St. Marys township, for 1102.50. The letter of transmission written upon one of Van A. B. 4 Co’s letter heads, also conta'ned a request to send proceeds per express to Bruce Carr, Bluffton, Ind. R. B. Allison, President of the bank had good reasons fur supposing that if Bruce Carr bad been in the county on business he would not failed to have called upon him, consequently his suspicions were aroused. Soon after Mr. Luttman came into the bank, when lie was shown the suspicious cheek. At first, so well was it executed, that he thought it was all right, but when his attention was called to the date, amount, and who payable to, he immediately pronounced it a forgery, -dr. Allison was satisfied that the other must be a forgery also, as a consequence, the proceeds were not forwarded promptly to Bluffton as was requested. He immediately proceeded to Pleasant Mills, but failed to see Mr. Fuller, but got a description of the party who mailed the letter, from the postmaster, who claimed he could recognize him at sight. The day following the bank made up a dummy money package for Bruce Carr, and directed it to Bluffton. They were no day too late, Bruce Carr, or the man who personated him, had expected he remittance the day previous and had called at the express office for it, bringing with him a letter purporting to have been written by the Ad; ms County Bank, informing him of die remittance to Bluffton, which was exhibited at the express office and which he wished to use as a means of identifying the holder with Bruce Carr. The money did uot come and Bruce ( arr for the time disappeared. Inquiry at the depot of the T. C. & St. L. i ailroad, revealed the fact that Jen me Showalter had tried to get a ticket to Bluffton and return on Friday on c edit, of agent L. J. Gast, remarking that Simpson had agreed to meet him and furnish the money. He subsequently borrowed the money of Marshal Maloney, but as indicated above, was a day too soon. This was, however, the first clue to Simpson’s connection with the case, but whom the bank had suspected from the first. Sunday evening, Simpson, on his return from a visit to his mother-in-law in the country, was arrested, together with Showalter. He was taken before Esqr. Baily for a preliminary bearing. At his instance it was posti poned until Monday morning at 10 , o’clock. As there was no place to confine him over night, he suggest d j that if he was taken home he could ' get some of his neighbors to go his | bail and that they meet at the Esqr a.

:ice at 7 o'clock to fix it up. Simpson was sent with Deputy Sheriff McConnell and Horace Porter. He sent for Dr. Coverdale, blustered around the fire, had several consultations with his wife and finally while Mrs. Showalter and Simpson were between him and McConnell, stepped out the door like a flash and disappeared in the darkness and the night. lie had vanished like a dream. To say that the officers were chagrined and mortified is putting it mildly. Monday morning at the hour fixed the examination of Showalter began. The postmaster at Pleasant Mills, and the express agent and messenger at Bluffton identified him. The one as mailing the letter to the bank, the others as asking for the expected remittance to Bruce Carr whom he was personating. In faet the defendant admitted all the facts proven by the State. In explanation he claimed innocence of any knowledge of wrong. That what he did was for Simpson. That Simpson showed him a letter written upon a blank Cincinnati Enquirer letter head, signed by Mr. Mc- ’ Lean, calling attention to the fact of i the mysterious loss of the $5,000 i package, between Cincinnati and Bluffton, and authorizing Simpson to work it up. That Simpson bad told him that the theives were on the Narrow Gauge road and that the letter he was to take to Pleasant Mills and mail to them was a decoy to catch them. That he was afterwards sent to Bluffton to receive the proceeds ot the remittance, should it arrive safe for the same purpose. These were the reasons why he was personating Bruce Carr. In consequence of the difficulty of obtaining witnesses, the examination was not concluded until Monday night, when Showalter was held to await the action of the Grand Jury in the sum of two hundred dollars. There is quite a diversity of opinion among our people as to bis guilty knowledge of the transaction. But it is generally conceeded that while he did not exercise that judgement and discretion he ought to have done in this transaction, that he had no intention of doing wrong, however, appearances may seem for the present against him. This attempt to put forged paper upon the bank caused an investigation, when it was discovered that the bank already held two forged checks uttered by Simpson. One was received by mail from Monmouth, Indiana, from John A. Walters, instructing the bank to send currency by mail, as he could not at present come to Decatur and that he needed the money. The amount was S9O. The second was an enclosure from J. A. Christen, from Bingen, of similar import, for S7O. Both checks purported to be signed by Henry Luttman, trustee of the township, and as both were teachers in the township at the time awakened no suspicion. The checks and letters both were forgeries. Simpson received the proceeds by taking the train and following the letters sent by the bank on different days and directed as requested. He obtained possession oi the letters in both instances by saying that the parties to whom they were directed, instructed him to call for them. On Monday night Simpson was yet in town. He took supper at home at 64 o’clock p. m., being seen and recognized by a lady who with her husband has been boarding there. He was dressed in the costume that Jeff Davis was said to have been captured in. His rendezvous was afterwards found to be the barn of Andrew Barkley, where he had fixed himself a cozy nest in the hay, and had among other things a comfort which was recognized as having been sold to the Simpson family some time previous, by Niblick, Crawford 4 Sons. Evevry effort has been made to effect his recapture but so far without success. His lingering in this manner in this neighborhood, is supposed to be for the purpose of getting funds, the proceeds of the successful forgeries having been offered up to th* knights of the green cloth. Tuesday evening Mr. Simpson was arrested at the residence of A. C. Gregory, bis brother-in-law, by T. J. Archbold. It was ascertained Monday that he had not left town, as a consequence a watch was kept up Monday night, but without result. About sa. m. Tuesday morning, Mr. Archbold went home. He had just stepinto his house when he heard a person walking. Stepping to the door he soon ascertained the direction they were going by tbs noise of the footsteps in the snow. The person went to Mr. Gregory's house, and from the movements he judged it was Mr. Simpson. During the day the house was kept underdose surveillance, and from the frequent coming and going of Mrs. Simpson, and other movements he was convinced he was right in his location of Simpson. And about four o’clock he went to the house and found Mr. Simpson, who gave himself up. After his arrest, in conversation, Mr. Simpson stated he had not been but a short distance from the house all night Sunday and during the day Monday. Monday he passed the night in a house in Nuttman's addition, but refused to locate the same. Tuesday morning he came to Mr. Gregorys without their knowledge or consent. Wednesday morning his preliminary examination took place at the Court

House, and resulted in his being held to answer in the Adams Circuit Court in the sum of $2,000. In an interview with Mr. Simpson, since his arrest, he claims that he is innocent of the whole transaction, is a victim of circumstances and asks suspension of judgement until both sides of the question are heard. In reporting this case, Tub Democrat has been governed by a desire to make a correct and unprejudiced statement. We have laid the tacts before our rea' era as they came to us, and the public can draw their own conclusions. One thing is evident: A successful forgery has been committed. The guilty parties should be ascertained and promptly punished. This the proper authorities are endeavoring to accomplish. Peer lens Perfume.
