Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground door. Killed by the Cars. Joseph Hill, who has been living on I aac Robinson’s farm a few miles east of Decatur, for several jears past met a frightful death last Saturday night. He had been to this city and along in the evening went to Burdges’s barber shop to get shaved, but there being a number ahead of him he started home and afer going a little beyond the river bridge re turned to the barber shop stating that he would now wait his chance. In a short time he went out the back door of the barber shop and did not return About half-past ten while Isaac Robinson and Chi is Reynolds were going home and w hen about three-quarters of a mile east of the C. & E. bridge they heard someone g-oaning oh the south side ’of the track, and as the moon was shining very bright they soon discovered the location of the wounded man. From the nature of the accident it would seem that he had become tired and had sat down on a tie to rest, and while in this position he had fallen asleep.’ The Wells Fargo express due here at about ten o’clock, ci y time, is supposed to be the the train that struck him. His left shoulder and back was very badly caved in which goes to show that he was in a sitting posture when the accident occurred. He was picked up and carried to a house near by and Drs. Costello and Thomas were called, but medical skill was of no avail and he died in a v oiit th-ee hours after the ccurrence. He was never Conscious after the accident. He was a hard worker, but his appetite foi the flowing bowl was unconquerable, and through this habit it may be said that he lost his life. He leaves a wife and eleven children ranging in age from a seven months-old babe to a boy sixteen, and in almost destitute circumstances. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon at Pleasant Valley church. Startling Facts. The American people are rapidly be coining a race of nervous wrecks, and the following suggests the best remedy: Alphonso Hempfling, of Butler, Pa , swears that when his son was speechless from St. Vitus dance Dr. Miks’ great Restorative Nervine cured him. Mrs. J. R. Miller, of Valparaiso, and J D. Taylor, ot Logansnort, Ind., each gained twenty pounds fJom taking it. Mrs. H. A.

Most people are afraid to tell an editor h c -writet; an article that particularly peases ,hem par of making him proud, we suppose, but if they fond any. thing that does not accord precisely with their views they will neglect their business to hunt him up to tell him of it.

A BIG SCARE. The Militia Called Out to Protect 11 > the Prisoners. 1 , Some of the Boys “Wounded’’ Soon Afttr Receiving Orders. Saturday afternoon R. S. Boyd received a telegram from Fred Mills, who is locatr ed at Shanes Crossing, to this effect: ‘'Aie they s?oing to lynch to-night.” In a few . . hours it was noised all around and as a , ! general rule rumors will soon have some- , 1 thing added to them and so on until they . assume great proportions. So in this . case. And when a few loads of people came in after dark and d-’O-.r to the , stable, put up their team- and proceeded to walk around on the streets, then it was that rumors were flying thick and fast that Holland and Pickering, the men charged with killing Daisy Reynolds, would be introduced into Judge Lynch’s court before morning. This was the clincher and all was excitement and flurry on the streets. Men could have been seen here, there and everywhere talking in? low and excited tones, the one subject being when will the lynchers come. The story at eight o’clock was to the effect that men weie on the way from Ohio City, Willshire and Shanes Crossing, at least five hundred strong with men as leaders who had partiCipatrain the hanging ot several men in Mercer county about seventeen y ears ego, a id that they were determined that the mu’derers of Daisy Reynolds should hang, Upon these rumors Sheriff McConnell began to make preparations to give the Judge Lynchers a warm n-opion and called on Captain Byers to have his company of militia at the jail as soon as possible to stand guard and protect the prisoners. The captain at once telegraphed to M .j r Gunder at Marion that he had been ordered out. The major a's > issued him an order to obey the command ajgxl get h's me 1 under arms and to report “for duty. Nov this was just where the fun came in. Some of these brave “sojer” boys were quaking in their shoes until their knees knocked together like the rattle bones of an end man in Hi Henry’s minstrels, while some of the boys were taken sick on the spot with bad colds, sore eyes, sickn ?ss in the family and all manner ot excuses that could be manuLc tured in the short space of five seconds. The boy» belonging to the militia were scattered all over to.vn and country. Some were at home, others were out with their best girls, while some could not be found at all, they probably having got word that the militia w-. uld Le called upon. A messenger was di patched for first lieutenant Andrews, who lives about four miles in th? country. Some of the boys had doubled the I leg tenant’s brqvpry, but all such were vanquished -into very thin qtr yyhen bp came s'unti ring into the jail ■ about twelve p'c’ock in full uniform await ing the command fysm his superior officer. The company now ponst-jed of twentynine men, officers apd privates* were armed to fhc teeth and had pver five hundr- d rounds of amunitjon, which would have cast and ije'jtrupt-ioq thUQng thQ would be lyuche,-s h&d they put in an appearance. Captan Byers placed his men in position, put out his picket lines . and was ready for busmess by twelve . o’clock. The-boys were on duty all night , awaiting an attack that was never mad" nor pe zei was intciuLiJ. There was no excitement ai Wiltshire, Shanes Crossing or any other point. The rumor passed through those plac.s that 1 the people of this vicinity would be the . lynchers, while the citizens here were eagerly watching the Coming cf the others Leo Yager came from Willshire about , Q^tui^y- ans li|- . formed ; a DEMbcii Al’ rfepoptef 1 that' the s people of that viemity were perfectly sat--5 isfied to let the law take lis C6uh£e, anu 3 that if the prisoners now under arrest vVere the guilty ones that they would be t puplshed ac.uoi ; |ing tq Irut, not gu|lty, x tn " aequjttcq. 1 Thus ended one of the biggest scares . ever known in th : s city. t _ 3 Sudden Deaths.

Monroe Items. Corn is booming, so is everything around Monroe. J. W. Hendrick? returned home last Sunday from his western trip. Our new depot has received the summer's trimmings, and it looks as gay as a red-headed woodpecker. Rattlesnakes are reported to be plenty, but they keep cool in time of danger, except his tail, and that gets terribly rattled. A few boys left Monroe IsstSundav for the Wabash river r to fish. Returning, weeping, because the river was on a tare caused by the late rains. Don’t forget the Farmer’s Institute to beheld at Monroe. June 6th. Everybody come and hear the subjects of pikes and gravel roads discussed. The reason of the Magley correspondent not letting himself be known is that his friend, Mrs. Webfoot, has returned and holds him responsible for her marrying a Goosv Gander.

Why should not the county seat be moved to Monroe? Our coronor; Dr. O T. May, has been called twice withii 1 a week to hold down dead bodies. Doc. responded promptly, and can attend to two corpses a week if necessary. The old lady (Mrs. Webfoot) came rolling into Monroe on her bicycle last Tuesday morning, on Qolumbus time, according tq a previous telephonic dispatch from Jake Butcher, of Geneva. Shecame rushing into our office on wheels, with a yell that startled Ferd Kissler and Mon roe’s bloody butcher; that caused Al Hoffer to arm himself with razors and every available means for self defence, tadng the old lady to be half horse and half aligator from Buena Vista. No one coming to our rescue, we had to stand the racket. She dismounted, and throwing down her parasol, sunbonnet and riticule, she advanced toward us singing, “Nearer my God to Thee,” until she came within a few feet of ourself, remarking, “Well, well, for the life of me here is the Monroe itimeizer looking as natural as ever, except the usual wear and tear of his mortal body; bless me, shake!” Extending her brawny hands, doubled up in such a manner that we concluded she wanted to punch us one, and we dodged her, and missing her object she fell into a box of toys which was leftover irom last Christmas. When she recovered her equilibrium she said this event reminds one of the toys brother Peter Huffman, of Linn Grove, wanted to sell me, such as jay birds, red birds, and other toys on bellows. Well, Mrs. Web foot, we are acquainted with the very ex eentric Peter. We remember of selling such toys several years ago to Mr. Huff man when we were peddling. Peter is now periodically a toy dealer. She smiled and said Pleasant Mills contained a dealer in spectacles, as she had a pair taken while there in conversation with Eb Roebuck and ’Squire Comer on the subject of tariff, Chilla, Italy and Oklahoma and laid her specks down and some Republican took them and left a pair of leather ones in their place. I met Harlo Mann in Jefferson township last Sunday and I was speaking about the late exchange, and Harlo thought George Brown, the shoemaker, had made the leather specs. She will be at Moliki after the capture of the Itata, and clean the burg out. She said she would love to visit Henry Stacy, Ansley Smith, also R. E. Smith, Monroe’s assessor, and learn how many dogs there are in the township; she ventured to bet her sunbonnet that there Monrqe township lhan children. Since her journey in the west she has become quite a singist, and would like to employ herself at Monroe or Monmouth to sing on Children’s day, soprqnq is hpy set, and can prodqce syyeetey strains wfyen accompanied by a, bass dyum. She remarked that Chris Hoejfer, Will Scherrer and Dan Urick would make good singers if they could C a feh the time, and I saw in the program of Memorial dt iy> °f Jin Place’s summer resort, of which we all must cei tainly visit.—Good day, bell is rining for biscuits.
