The following dispatch from Indianapoa warning to county treasurers: "Thejrailroad companies have begun to make the attack in court on the new tax law in various parts of the state. Attor ney General Smith has been notified ot the filling of suits at Terre Haute, in Lake county and elsewhere, and his information it that the attack on the law is to be joined in by practically every railroad com pany and large corporation jin the state. The' companies are all following a uniform plan of tending the county treasurers taxes, based on the valuation of 189a. ; Attorney General Smith has been informed that tome treasurers Jare issuing to the ‘ companies vouchers for money paid, which 'amounts to receipting for the full amount of taxes due. ‘I would like to say to the treasurers of the counties,’ said the attorney general to day, ‘that any treasurer who issues a voucher to a company until the full amount of taxes due on assess- . tnent of 1891 is paid, violates the law, and lay* himself liable on his bonds. The money the railroads pay can be credited .on the amount of taxes cbatged against them, and the amount unpaid goes on the delinquent list. This movement of the •’ railroad ‘companies is a most unheard of > proceedings? They propose to fix their o*n assessments, and say to the county treasurers just how their payments shall be credited.’ Mr. Smith says he will, after the sta'e convention next week, begin to give some attention to the suits of the railroad companies in the counties. He has been ask ed to go to Ter* Haute and assist the county attorney in the suits in Vigo county, and will do so.” W. C. T. U. Notes. , Catharine Cole, in the New Orleans • Picayane, says: “The women of to-day upon whose breast is not pinned the white 'ribbon of temperance, or the red ribbon ‘ of education, or the cross of the King’s . Daughters, or the badge of the Band of Mercy, or the emblem of purity is behind / her century," ’ ' “The sex which is first in the Sunday ’school and last in the jail, which is most •trangly represented at church, and at prayer meetings, and at missionary meeting. and most feebly represented in the liquor saloon of the land, which does least of ths world’s preaching and moat of its practicing, which makes a poor figure in • battle between Christian nations and a Splendid figure in a battle between right and wrong—such a sex forms a very large part of the power that makes rightenousness. To turn this purifying stream away from is equivalent to asserting , that politics have no need of righteousness Two years ago the center of Harriman, Tennessee, was an old farm house and the circumference was the yard fence around ths house in which the East Tennessee Land Company’s office was located.

ing town (for they all belong together) ever presented such a record as Harriman. Why do not our people learn the valuable things such object lessons teach? Matthews for Governor. Secretary rs State, Claud Matthews, has finally announced that he is to be a candidate tor Governor before the convention at Indianapolis next week. This step has given great satisfaction everywhere. Mr. Matthews decision was reached after long solicitation by bis many Democratic friends of all classes, and especially by those of the farmers, with whom his entire life has been spent. Mr. Matthews has said all along that he was only a candidate for Secretary of State and has not sought the highest preferment. But he could resist no longer, as the demand became so great for him to accept the nomination. There is not a more popular Democrat in the state for the position, and his nomination and elec tion is almost a settled fact. In announcing his name he wants its distinctly understood that he is not and cannot be the candidate of any one element or faction of his party, but the candidate of the whole Democratic party That hale, hearty, laughing Wils H. Shepherd, of Hartford township was on our streets last Thursday. The street commissioner is doing some good work in cleaning up. The more the better for the health of our citizens. The graduates of the high school are preparing for their commencement. It takes about two months of the closing of the term. Mrs. 0. Furgenson left for her home in Wyoming last week. She was accompanied by her mother, Mrs S. J. Hilderbrand, who will make Wyoming her home. The work of excavating for the new Studabaker building for Woodward & Auten has been commenced. The building will be pushed to completion at an early day. The frogs just now have their little souls full of music, which they are dealing out in unlimited quantities to the long suffering public. Wonder how long their engagement lasts, anyhow. Peter Boegli, Beiy. F. Lehman and Christ Burry, of Berne, made this office a pleasant call Thursday while in this city. The former are engaged in the printing and book binding of Berne. Hon. A. Martin will be the only Democratic candidate for Congress from this district and.may be the only candidate, from the majority he got last fall it would seem that the Republicans would all vote for him so that none wdlild be left. William Reed, employed at the stave factory of Voglewede & Bremerkamp, met with an accident that would have been serious if his pants legs wuuld have held. While adjusting a belt on the jointer he had the legs of his pants caught tearing them off at the crotch. On next Thursday the Democracy of the state will meet at Indianapolis through their delegates to nominate a ticket for state officers. A number of men are willing to shoulder the responsibility of the state of Indiana, or at least to collect the monuments there of,for there is no question but what they will be the men to fill the offices for the next term. ‘ Republican newspapers would hate us believe that the truly great min, Andrew Carnegie, is weeping big tears all on ac count of his not being able to spend his income. Poor fellow, if he will only let us, cheerfully would we obey the scriptural injunction. -‘Bear ye one another’s burdens.” There is no use of one man bearing alone such a load. O. N. Snellen on returning home this week after being out selling fruit trees was greatly surprised to find his home deserted, his wife and children gbne and all furniture removed, and his wife in court asking for a divorce and other relief. Mr. Snellen believes that another woman has been the cause of her leaving, for they have been telling her all manner of lies about him, while he is known to the people of the town here as a hard working man. The following which appeared in the Fort Wayne Journal of the iSth inst maybe of interest to- some ot our readers: ‘f Winch & Winch, filed ar. intervening petition in the wheel works case before Judge Baker in the circuit court yesterday to foreclose a lean upon the Fort Wayne plant of the wheel company, which was-purchased of the plaintiffs for $41,800. There wks a balance due of about SIO,OOO and judgment for this amount against the Fort Wayne property was given br the court this morning. A number of our young people are attending school at Terre Haute, while some of them are at Marion attending Normal school. What is the reason we cannot have a Normal school here, one that would' bring some of tbe oeople here instead of taking them away, for each one of them spends at leasts7j while attending a term ot school. That money should be spent in Decatur in building up our own county and helping pay our taxes, besides educa ting our own people and assisting those who might come among us. ’A •' ■ ' 1 P ' ' <

The Easter morning prayer meeting will be under the auspices of the Decatur Young People’s Union, Esq. Gates, of Monroe, township, was visiting his parents in Ohio, and made us a call on his return. W. G. Spencer, Sr., is still in about the same condition. His friei ds had hoped to see him out before this time. Miss Vic Stone and Miss Eva Patterson were at Peterson last Wednesday, the guests of Mr. Welty and family. Mrs. W. M. Roberts and Mrs. A. C Deputy, of Indianapolis, are visiting their sister, Mrs. E. A. Allen, this week. The time has come when the shade trees should be trimed so that people carrying umbrellas can get under them.

Tyndall, Cora Miesse, Mrs. J B Rice and a num ber of other sisters of the order of Pythian Sisters, attended lodge meeting at Portland on last Monday night. The Fourth district, true to its colors, has again nominated Holman for their standard bearer. The nomination came to him unanimously, and again will he be returned to congress by his people. The vote on the free wool ' bill in the House, on Thursday last, was divided as ' follows: For the bill—Democrats, 187; Farmers Alliance,l7; Republicans, none; total 194. the bill —Republicas, 57; Democrats 2; Farmers Alliance, 1, total 60. — ■ ” *- ■ ia.°~3W‘ - t . The Democratic Central Committee organized last Tuesday by electing Peter J. Coffee, chairman; John M. Baker, secretary, and ChHs W. Hocker, treasurer. The members were about all present and are prepared and ready for the fight. They ‘ ra'ifiedthe action of the former committee in the appointment of delegates. Several of our citizens have received letters from a man located in lowa. They contain a copy of a telegram to be sent in case the sucker desired to purchase, and also a scale of prices and a bogus newspaper clipping. The necessary seemed to be very cheap with him as $1,500 would buy $25,000 of his make, warranted to be just as good as Uncle Sam's. It is the same old game, and should any of our citizens, who never read the county papers, conclude to try it, they will no doubt get some of the dearest sawdust or brown paper they ever bought. Have nothing to do with such.jwiley swind'ers.

-City Meat Market. Remember -Now and Then.” See the Osborne binder and mower before buying. The Osborne is the lightest running binder that is made. When you want a shave or hair cut call at Frank Foreman’s. For the .very best of meat* call at Schmitt’s City Meat Market.

John Blakeslee had another horse todie for him this week. This is the second horse in the last two w<-ek*. If you want to see some jolly butchers, in a nice clean shop, call at the City Meat Market, Dyonis Schmitt, proprietor. The committee of the Decatur Young People’s Union announces a prayer meeting at the Baptist church at 6:30 Sunday morning. The Kokomo Dispatch came out this week with a fine edition wiih a write-up of that flourishing city. They had cuts of all the main house* ot thd city. The plans and specifications of the church to be built in Preble township can be seen at the office of Kirsch & Sellemeyer, at their lumber yard. Under the state fish law a road supervisor is clothed with the powers of a constable or police officer, and in his own district is expected to arrest any persons who may violate the provisions- made for the protection of fish. In making inquiries through the press young ladies should be careful to say what they mean. An exchange says:— “A young lady writes to know whether in proposing to young men this year girls should get on their kneeski The question is r.ot sufficiently clear. On whose knees?' Mayor Reed and his estimable wife have the.sympathy friends fn their sad bereavement. While Mrs. Reed and child were visiting her parents near Hoag land, the small child was taken sick, and on last Wednesday morning, after an illness of about three weeks it was trans ferred to that home above. There has been another wholesale discharge ot men on the Chicago & Erie road. On last Saturday orders were received at Huntington from headquarters to abandon all worktrains on the entire line and to reduce the number of section men to three and one boss on each section. This, great reduction following so close upon the heels of the discharge of so many shopmen, has created no little surprise. The German Building, Loan and Saving Association elected the following officers last Monday evening: Directors, P. G. Hooper, N. Blackburn, David Studabaker, John Schurger, W. H. Niblick, R. K. Allison, John Blakeslee Anson Van Camp, J. 8 Peterson, F. M. Schirmeyerandj. B Hojthouse. The board elected John Schurger, President; J. B. Hohl.ou®, Vice-President; P. G. Hooper, Secretary, and W. H Niblick, Treasurer. Tne following Board of managers was e’ected: John Schuager P, G. Hooper, J B. Holthouse, F. M. Schirmeyer and W, H. Niblick. For some weeks past our town has been crowded with peddlers why go from house to house hawking their wares and as a general rule, cheating the ones they deal with. They are generally a good smooth talker, who can show their wares up in a fair light, so that people .think they are getting a bargain, when they’ are getting gulled. But a short time has passed since a man selling piece goods came into our town and sold over live hundred dollars worth ol goods for men’s clothing at a price that our merchants would have been glad to have sold the same or a better quility of goods for. Yet this same sleek individual could come among us without paying one cent of taxes, or in any way improve our town, or contribute to the wealth of our treasury for school purposes, yet he could carry away over five hundred dollars of our money, and leaves cnly the remembrance with the people that they haye been duped. Again, we have another one who is peddling dry goods, who is working the same game on the unsuspecting who are made to believe that they are getting goods at a much less cost than they can be bought for here at home. While they may as an inducement offer an article at a less price than our merchants are selling it for, the article is generally of an-inferior-quality, or at least the goods you received is net of the grade you expect and will have if you patronize home. The very dollar you send away from heme is helping someone else to build up and beautify their own town and .home instead ot our town. While our merchants are paying taxes and helping to improve the town, you are helping others to do the same thini>|f<> their place. If home is looked at first, there will beJ»ut,l it tie trading done ajyay from here where the interest of eye-yjcit-izen should be! -

Clean up. Clean up the streets and alleys. Gas being assured here now, let us have water works. ; Ike Plat, of Cincinnati, was the guest o f D. M. Hensley last Sunday. Mr#. M. E. Galloway, of Ceylon is the guest of ye editor and family this week. The infant daughter of Mayor Reed died last Wednesday and was buried Friday.

The gas company has been enlarged, and within the next ninety days those of you who want to, can burn gas here, for it is now an assured fact. Frank Gilpin moxed to Ossian last Monday where be has accepted a position with Vail & Bill. The citizens of Ossian will find him an honorable citizen. The F. M. B.

The Indiana state militia encampment will be held in August. Terre Haute and Martinsville are asking for thq encampment. 3?he latter place seems to have the better chance of getting it. General Ruckle has decided that the camp must be located away from any city, so as to remove the desire of the m-m to slip away from camp and visit the town. On last Thursday evening a cock fight took place in a barn, not a thousand miles from the Burt House. There was quite a large crowd present and shame be tffcsaid some of Decatur’s influential business men were present. The fight was a failure and the crowd was disappointed. The authorities shonld stop this kind of sport, if it can be called such. Just across the state line in the peaceable city of Van Wert, the Fort Wayne Journal says the following occurred: Dex Brates, a well known young man here was reversely caned yesterdav by Miss Christine Miller, a young lady about whom Crates was charged with circular ing slanderous stories. Crates no doubt will soon learn that a foul, mouth is a piece of machinery that is not desired or honored by people of culture. The man who was drowned in the Wabash, at Studabaker’s bridge has not been found up to this date, his hat and overcoat being the only things found belong ing to him. There are some who think thqt the drowning may not have been ac cidental, as on the same evening that he was drowned the small house which he occupied as his sleeping apartment, end where he kept his books and all of hiworldly and money was broken in to, so that what he had no person can tfcn The Winchester high school will have ' no graduation exercises, although there is a nice class of a dozen.
