Elliot for murder, at Columbus, Ohio, is a warning to those who engage in personal journalism and expect that the newspaper is powerful enough to protect alleged journalists in their misdeeds. Mr. Elliot was a disgrace to the newspaper profession and so was Mr. Osborne, who died by his hand. Real newspaper men do not engage in guttersnipe personalities, and more than this, the man who writes a sensational article only to frighten people whose names he connects with questionable transactions into paying him for its suppression is the worst kind of a blackmailer, and society should not submit to dictation from such sowardly assassins of character. Personal journalism is a vice not to be tolerated by reputable members of the profession. John E. Smith has qualified as the administrator of the estate of Deborah Andrews, deceased.

The personal property is worth but little, and an application to sell the realty to pay debts will be made at the next term of the Adams circuit court when the music will strike a chord that will tickle the lawyers.
