ASHCRUFT—TRASfI-CAF. ' ' '' Ashcraft Falls Into a Trap Set by What He Denominates “Two Kids." — Conspiracy Against the Journal Man; and Not Against the Democrat. One Great Flabby Sleek Sucker. .Ah there Ashcraft, you swallowed the Z b dt; bu‘ the hook will no’ digest. : . Your name is a "Pesy." It looks well In print, but it is much nicer to think about. Strike out the “h" stand before the mirror and behold thine ears! We have nothing very encouraging to •ay of the Journal man Other then that he is a sickly, chronic Ihr, with a b;«ath : like a Mexican buzzar , and a record like a Texas convict, we don’t know sny •, evil of the man. We think if he can keep R out of the hands of the marshal and the |V; “Seek no further” committee, he may evade the penitentiary and probaldy die f. in a r afu'al wtv. The Journal man >• means it all right, but if he is not rnorj •B, , careful to tell the truth, the good people I;,, of this country will shake him about until there is nothing UP f him ’ but a peagreen moleand a >us ed suspender button They will box the temains up, and label it “Good riddance of b.id rublrish," and K, ship them to the South Sea Islands for ■■ further operations. There was an editor lived ih pur town. He had a white and dimpled hand and a tiny little brain. He thought much. We believe him to be she most over-thought man we have ever known. He thinks on a graduated scale ii.cressi-.g and decreas- . ing at a ten-fold ratio. He produced one I of those thoughts about a week since. It ! was a large, plump, irregular thought with L copyrighted extensions. He went out on the streets and called the neighbors and a . citizens into his office of the sanctum K■ ’ •xnctorhm to feast their optics upon bis ■>.' new breed of thoughts. He said with an |fe-- air of profound pride, “gentlemen look at jg. this one, I think this about two ‘kids,’ it K# i is one of the best in slock. You see I ft” wrote their names down. Then I said: |J.’ “Conjure with them—separate them by it*- twos, splice them and write them BrandyK; wood and Underberry. Then I added a IK copyrighted extension to that by in formI - ing the public that the Brandywood and II Underberry scheme would die a homin’. ” BiJ.; Ah! gentlemen, continued Trash caf, I E nervously, that was a Huge thought and I ■Kr was woefully afraid it would die a hornin’, ■P too. It so strained my tiny brain that now ■L I wish to the Lord that it had died [Here lit Ashcraft broke down, and there was ■Kif much wailing and gnashing of teeth,] ■ “I told them that they were entirely too ■L. ignorant to think of starting a paper, and ■ ft: that theyknew nothing about or Biography, I. grammar, and English composition K Didn’t you know I told the b ys tha ? Well, if you didn’t you are behind the times.” [Applapse ] ■ I also told the editor of the Democrat HK.I had suppressed five or six Democratic ■k papers. Aha! Didn’t I fix Vm. With Mr, one stroke of the pen I might bespeak K k Ute into stone Gods of Greece, sweep the SBr stars from the spheres, cause the moon to ■f go into eclipse, and utterly annihilia’e the ■gun. [Great applause.] Didn’t you know K E I could do that? Here the eulogy ended Nft. and the guests departed. ■ft 7 The Journal man, alter having published Hk xi* very interesting letter as he thought, H said? “It might be interesting to state gE’’-' that the following letter was picked upon Kfe the streets Monday. Now, we would sav that it is hardly necessary tor the Journal Hb ' man to He about small things. He ob » tained that letterofJeffLehman.oi Berne, gEv',. Ind. We are obliged to Mi. Lehman foi helpimf ua to trap our friend Trash caf. ■ fe We are dtliglfced to see the Journal man take spouting spells, so we set about to perpetuate a scheme which would cause Kfi I him to-do s's We have heard of people MB amping gueysers to make them spout ■ We cast about for a victim, and selected ti e M EE,, tfoned. The proposition was so arranged that he would suspicion nothing wrong. ■T*. Just as we had expected, the Journal man ■g spouted, He unearthed a conspiracy .that never existed, and at.nihiliated five or six Democratic papers. He labored much; IH , fumed and perspired like a much squeezed . gponge; called to his assistance the printe EH .. er’s devil, and e’er he was aware he over,thought himself and w-s obliged to soak ||g| r.’.hta head before he could sleep well. All MM-' this' done in the name of justice and for EEEMjialove humanity. Oh! Ashcraft. ’ ’Why didn't you spend your time and valu space in publishing the Auditor’s £gSß®f.'(A.nnual Report, instead ol devoting so MKftflMich time and space to advertising new nises; such fur instance, as the pr->-nic germination of a Semi-Dem ) IllliftjfWic newspaper with a big Republican fejMwfayiJmis, Ah? in order that we may make business more extensive. We should fill the Journal man to give us the «p-ne good Republican who

stitution. If the Journal will advertise without charges, we think we can conduct at least two papers. 'Bab, Ashcraft! Mcnemene tekel ufharsin, for thus sayeth the scriptures. « DEDICATED TO AHnQIUVT. A newspaper will be started In town to-day; • He'll not be In it. It would never do; for it wouldn't pay; He’ll not bo In it. It takes money, experience and sense, And we must crush the thing without expense To have more papers, they shan’t begin it; He'll not bo In it. A hearse will jog down the street some day;' The tunoral procession will make a display; He’ll be In it. St. Paul will say, "What Iles did you tell; Here, sir. is a through ticket to—well— Your elevator goes down in a minute,” He’ll be in it. ■» The Kids. We Were In It The atmospheric disturbance of Saturday night last in the vicinity northeast of Preble Station, in Preble township, was the heaviest in point of rain and wind ever.known in Adams county. The distance, as observed by our correspondent, is abcut one mile wide by two nfiles long, and making four distinct and separate paths in course, each about one hundred feet wide, leaving the space of timber between the paths untouched and unmolested by the wind. Perry Elzey’s house, a story log structure, the roof was entirely blown off and carried a dis■ance of about one hundred feet, taking with it some of the top logs. The family being down rtairs, no one was injured, but considerable damage was done to the household goods. Henry EHering’s barn was also unroofed, some of the shingles being carried and found a distance of one mile from the barn. A line of fences one running north and south and made with wire fastenings with side supports was laid down as evenlv as if so instructed by a competent engineer. Mr. Ellering estimates his loss on timber, fences and barn at one thousand dollars. Hundreds of acres of wheat and oats nearly matured are greatly if not entirely destroyed. The number of trees uprooted and twisted into smithereens is estimated from 5,000, to 8,000. Guaranteed, Cure.

DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1892.

Several of our citizens spent the Fourlh of July at Fort Wayr.e. ' Two daughters of Jonathan Fleming, while returning home from the tourth of July celebration, in this city, were run into by some boys who were riding in the the old “black marie,” hack and upsdt. The ladies were not hurt, but were badly scared. William McWhirter, proprietor ol the Elk sdloon, arid Miss Minnie Welty, daughter of Seth Welty, were very quietly married last Sunday at 10 o’clock at the residence oi Rev. Stalter. Mr. McWhirter and bride, left Sunday afternoon for Chicago where they will spend the honeymoon. They will be at home on , first street, to their friends on and after this week. We extend our congratulations. Burglars effected an entrance into the grocery store of J. B Burkhead, Monday night and secured a small amount of money which was left in the drawer. They next visited the meat market of Alex Leßrun and took money drawer and all, which amounted to a few cents. There is no doubt but what it was the work of home talent and it will not be but a few days until they are behind the bars, with a good chance of doing service for the state. Enoch Stalter and M. Beaver, were arrested Monday evening by Marshal Cowan for fast driving. It was the 4th of July and the boys were ccmirg to town. When they arrived at the corner of Second and Madison streets their horse, which was very fractious, became flightentd at the shooting of firecrackers and attempted to run, but was held in check. Before being stopped they struck a small child who with its mother was standing in the middle of the street where they had no business whatever. The boys weae taken to the Mayor’s office and afted explanation were allowed to depart, in peace. The Fourth of July has been here and gone. Yes, gone. How many of our rural neighbors participated in the many festivities that were in store for them we arejt a loss to explain. One thing we a|jtcertain of and which cannot be con-, tr licted, even by the most unscrupulous person on earth, namely.—that it waj a farce from start -to finish. Your paper, Mr. Editor, heralded broadcast over the county the announcement that Decatur was to have a glorious 4th of July; one that had not been equaled since the Trager Brothers first knocked the persimmons as celebraters of that glorious day in Decatur in the early "sixties.” Those were days long to be remembered. Then it was one country, one flag and one glorious fourth for all. Evepbody came to Decatur, and whatever was done to enliven the oAasion was acquiesced in by all. But now it is different, as was evidenced on Monday, last, when not a few of the many visitors went home early. The fire works in the evening near the Jail were a complete success, so far as our knowledge of that amusement goes. The horse and bicycle race was all that could be expected, from the standpoint that we took. The greased pig catch was great,— only a little bit too fractious for the boys, who failed to get their per cent of the premium in time to catch onto the free ice cream that Jim Place was passing around in the evening. All told it was a great day. * • * W. C. T. U. Notes. There will be a meeting of the Union at their hall on tomorrow afternoon [Saturday) at 2:30. A full attendance is desired. It is the duty of the individual to avoid as far as possidle the causes and conditions of physical and moral diseases. It is the dutv to prevent as far as possible, the same causes and conditions. Prohibition does not aim at persons but things called breweries, distilleries and saloons; It does not content itself with personal reform, but seeks to reform the governments that are partners in the liquor traffic. It protests against the government taking 90 cents upon every allon of spirits and one dollar upon every barrel of beer, and against towns taking revenue tor license to run drunkard factories. The Goodhue Co., (Minn.,) W. C. T. U. lately passed the foiling sensible resoluiifiMf- - —— J — Resolved, That inasmuch as the wearing of trained dresses is compulsory at the courts of kings, It is a fashion that may well be set at naught by the women of a republic, and, since a style of dress which keeps a woman continually clutching at her garments detracts from her dignity and moral influence as well as from her freedom and comfort, and whereas, by the wearing of trains our sisters are made weak, we will wear no trains while the world stands. One way to purify the moyal atmosphere is to exact the same standard of moral purity for me as for women. Qur boys must be taught that purity of life and thought is as necessay for 'men and boys, as For* women and girls. The standard of virtue for men must be higher or the degradation of women will surely continue. irSlr Charies Dilks should be elected to Parliament, it will be against the pro'll Inn w IA » \ f f

Hensley has leased the room formerly occupied by Peter Forbing as a saloon and will remsve his stock of jewelry to that room as soon as some needed repairs are made. It is true that owing to the wet weather the farmer at present is the busiest man to be found. He has been put behind with all his work and now should utilize every spare moment upon his farm. He has yery little time to sit on the fence. There is an effort on the part of several of the young Democrats of this city to organize a permanent political club They should be encouraged. Every young Democrat who w ill vote for the first time or who has voted once before should, be come members. ; The Hiawatha entertainment given by the Christian Endeavor society of the Presbyterian church last Saturday night at the opera house was but fairly attended. They should have had a full house, Each member of the cast did exceptionally well for new beginners. Mrs Kirsch and the society deserved better pctronage. Charles Liebenguth, the handler and bottler of that cool and refreshing beverage called beer, is prepared to furnish all who desire it with the most choice. Families who desire such a wholesome and cool beverage should leave their orders with him. They will be promptly executed. There is no’hing nicer than Schlitz famous Milwaukee and Centlivre’s Kairer beer. Give him a call. i6tt On Monday, the fouith day of Ju’y. while cressing the street, D. M. Ayers an old and respectd citizen, was run into by two joung_mem _who_were—driving through the city at a tapid rate. One of the shaits of the buggy struck Jlfr. Ayers and fractured three ribs. He v(as carried into Pierce’s drug store and a doctor called. Mr. Ayers is past seventy years of age and the Injury he received is likely t» prove fatal. Every assort should be made to ascertain who the parties were and prosecute them to the full extent ot the law. Mr, Van Pelt, Editor of the Craig, Mo Meteor, went to a drug store at Hillsdale lowa, and asked the physician in attendance to give him a dose of something for cholera morbus and loosenest, of the bowels. He says: “I felt so much better the next morning that I concluded to call’ on the physician and get him to fix me up a supply of the medicine. I was surprised when he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera ,pnd Diarrhoera Remedy. He said he prescribed it regularly in his practice and found it the best he could get or prepare.
