Monroe Items. John W. Hendricks is sojournying in tile West Frank Mann of the Geneva hoop works, wts in Monroe this week. J. W. Hendricks’ store was burglarized last Sunday night, watches and revolvers were taken. No clue to the thieves. 4 We have three huckster wagons start from Monroe nearly every morning and they all return laden with the precious hen fruit. Miss Myrtie Numbers, of Monmouth, has purchase J I he Monroe parsonage lots, and in the near future she and her aged mother will be welcome 1 inhabitants o: Monroe Frank Lord, of Monmouth, dropped down on Monroe last Saturday on his way home from his farm east ot Monroe Frank may b? a far.rfer by theory but not by practice*?; Wanted, a good sou e nun. ot good moral chufhcter, who can com-r __3Sjjel • recommended as to hen s y, etc , tq,dkrk in drug store.

Biswell Hir st. Said Hocker sa/s Abe turns black when he gets mad. We cant tell, we never saw Abe mad. Where is there's place ot safety? It begins to look like war on all sides. The king of Italy demanding of us recompense for a few dead Italians, the international question between Germany and the United States, the Chinese government not willing to receive and recognize our minister to China, the little difference between us and Engli-h in the Behring sea question. with Spain’s insinuations and our racket now with the Chillian pirates. It looks now rather bilious. Let's pray. The old lady Webfjot arrived from Oklahoma a lew days ago, reporting Gov. Steele in a good condition, but the pi ess ure of busbies has caused hi* hair to turn gray. He is very sportive, taking part in pitching hor»e shoes with the toughs, and gives receptions to cow-boys and cactus gatherers, he has been promised with an embalmed cow-boy and mule tor his cabinet of curiosities, She still clings to her bicycle, umbrella, goggles and sunbonnet. She wants to visit Henry Hobroke and Henry Fuelling before she returns home Some feiiow raised a general row among the dogs of Monroe, on Wabash avenue last Saturday night by shooting one, merely crippling the animal, as to give pain, evidenced by yelling and running up Calhoun street, causing the dogs *jn Madison street to jump on all the dogs coming from Monroe street, fighting up Monroe street to the corner of Washington and Third streets, where they were reinforced ty the Washington street dogs, which almost annihilated a few of the smaller one*. At that moment some sturdy fellow jumped among the canines with a club, jjnd scattered the rioters. It is said that on an average tU-re is a dog for each house in Monroe. Mtr. Assessor, keep your xsie skinned—too tnueu uPg. In defiance of law and the warnings of the railroad company, our littl? boys and young men continue to jump on and off of moving trains; and will continue to Bo so.until there will be a case of amputation or a postmortem held over the. re isasns of some dear son. Then no douN. a complaint would be filed against the railroad company for damages sustained. The railroad company has legally warr ed everybody not to jump on er off of train- , and if there should he a serious acc’dent Juappen, you are paid for, and paid for by the legal notification. The cisndw.ej.ors on freight trains a’ e not vigilant enough, if they were careful and watchful not so many wouid ride to Decatur and other d points in box cars, as there is almost daily.

W. C. T. U. Notes. The next meeting of the union will be hel i on Monday evening, th : iSfh, at the hall. All are earnestly requ-sbd to be present to transact business of mportance. Do not forget the date, next; Monday evening at 7:30. So sure as the devil can have the first chance at the children, he d m’t care how high we build our church steeples.—Selec ted. A convention cf school of methods for the W.C.T.Unionsof Adams,Allen,Wells, Grant, Huntington an 1 Biackford court • es will be held at Biuff on, May 26th and 27th. Mrs. Mary E. Haggart, president; Miss Mary G. Hay, treasurer, and Miss Alice R. Palmer, state organizer and ecturer will be present. The attention of the pulpit, the press, he school officers and teachers, the citj ouncil, the county and city officers, athers and mo'hers and all citizens who uve any regard for morality or public lecency, is ca'led to an unexcusable evi’that has heretofore been permitted to dis grace our city It is the circulation of ob cer.e literature and the exhibiting of in kcent and lascivious public performance Our town is already, cursed beyond measure hy abandoned characters, who, however, would not be allowed to go upon a public platform to exhibit themselves in any objectionable manner, but gangs ot lewd women from abroad are permitted tc Jo so, and their performances advertised in a manner so shameless, as to be an >ffense to all modesty or even decency. The effect upon the youth of our citv cannot but be degrading in the extreme. That these things are to’erated in large cities is no excuse for their advent and welcome here ' It is well known that in the shims of large cities no regard is usual ly paid to morality or decency, but the respectable portion of the population would scarcely be found in attendance upon their vile, public shows. On the contrary, societies of men and women are constantly using their influence for the suppression of these immoralities, in the interest of the children, whose suceptible minds are always contaminated by such vileness and their innocent feet beguiled into paths which leads to certain destruction. Our Indiana State law gives sufficient authority to prevent these evils if i t was enforced, but our city has no special ordinance upon the subject and we trust that not another meeting of the council will be allowed to pass, without their attention being given to so important a matter, and the enactment of an ordinance in harmony with the state law, which includes not only the advertising of immoral shows, but which will prevent the exhibi tion itself as well as all prize fights such as disgraced our neighboring city of Fort Wayne on last Saturday night and Sunday morning. There is a National society of which Anthony Comstock is president, which has so agitated and acted upon these evils that national laws have been enacted and the whole force connected with the postoffice department is brought into requisition to suppress and destroy everything ot an impure or obscene nature. Deca'ur needs a branch society very much, and we trust such a society will soon be formed. M. L. H. Linn Grove Items.

Dismissed. — < The case of the State ot Indiana agai -.iJames R. Bobo, in which he was charted with assault and battery with inreut to kill, came up for trial last Wednesday. When the prosecuting attorney, a - ter s careful investigation of the facts, con eluded that the case was one that would cost the county a large sum of money to try, and would put a large number of farmers ta great inconvenience in having to spent the time in coming in as jurors and taking up a great amount of time that other bust ness of the conrt rtqu red. He thereforconcluded that the better thing to do was to file a nolle prosique, which he d d, and the case was dismissed. Whi’e some mat feel that the case was dismissed becau-e it Was Judge Bobo, a man who had worn thv judicial ermine as judge of the 26th judi cial circuit for twelve years past, and one who in the past was recognized as one ol ; the leading men of the county, and whereever kno-*’n was known as an able jourist But Owing to the excessive use of strong drink and other narc'tics, t h at once bril liant mind has become clouded, and to that extent that those who know him best fee) that there would have been an acquital had the case been tried, for the plea of in sanity would have been plead in the case, and the evidence would have been so ,strong that the finding ot guilty would have been impossible. Yet the prosecuting attorney could have placed the blame on the jury trying the case, and then relievt d himself of it if any attaches to the dismissal, which no doubt would have been the better course lor him to have persued. The fact of an officer dismissing a case always gives rise for other offenders to claim the same rights be accorded them for similar offense.

When he was seven years of age his parents moved to Carroll county, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. He was married to Miss Eliza Hunt, Novem ber 20, 1845. To them were given seven children, five of whom together with the mother are still living. In 1853 he came to this county, where he has since lived. When he came to this county all was still a vast wilderness and he began life in a primitive way. By trade he was a carpenter, and for many years worked at that branch of labor, but the later years of his life has been given to farming. Father Moses’ ancestors came from Switzerland, and from them he inherited an intense loye pf liberty and justice. While his opportunities for education were meagre, yet by his own effort he succeeded in gaining quite an extensiye range of information and was for some years a teacher in the public schools. He was reared in the Lutheran church, but after his marriage he united with the Presbyterian church, of which church he has been an elder for more than thirty-fiix years. He was an active, earpest Christian throughout Ijfe, ar.d in his deqth the church loses one on whom they haveleaned for mapy years. Npt soon will he be forgotten, great and lasting is his work. His funeral occurred on Tuesday at the Presbyterian churh where a vast concourse of ne'ghbors and friends followed his remains to their last resting place. The community, church and family intensely feel their loss. %* — Bucklqn’s Arnica halve.
