The bam of John Warner, three and onei half miles south-west of here was burnt early Saturday morning after the third attempt of an Ineondiary, Mr. “AV ’ls noted as a peaceable and’uuiet man, and was not supposed to have an enemy. So those who believe that Linn drove was not In the oil belt, be at not deceived, for we are on deck with plenty of oil in the hull. Brownyar & Co. have just completed a well on a piece of land owned by Pleasant Reynolds. one and one-half utiles west ot here, Oil was struck at about eleven hundred feet on Thursday of last week, alter penetrating the rock near fifteen feet, the drill was stopped anil soon fathomed nine hundred feet of oil at midday on Mondaj. The well was shot with a light charge with prospective results. Machinery tor pumping were put In plaice Tuesday evening, and at this writing, the pumping commenced and the capacity of the adventure will soon be noted, however the fever is raging and oil theantidote to suppress the maledy. Oil menTfre thicker than churches in the good city of Brooklyn. Ihe lands near the well, were leased by a Home company before the sinking of the well; Fredrick Hoffmann, Louis Reynolds, Dr. A. Haughton, G. W. Gentls, andOscai Anderson making the company, and have no reason to grieve by reason of their adventure. Marion Rinearson, and Jacob Butcher, of Geneva, auctioneered the sale of Fred Hoffmann on Tuesday. The hunters of game to Arkansas returned on Friday of last week, but where is the meat? Echo answers, where! Nevertheless, they went out to hunt, at least Dunbar and Wechter did, ami presently struck a cold track of a deer and were in eager pursuit; but before they were avvaie they found themselves in the city of Memphis, Tenn., where they found the precious meat on the chambrels of a butcher shop. They now took their trace back to Weiner to scare up more beast of the forest, where they found Jack French in the act of packing his trunk for home who stated to them that they could hunt should they so desire, as for-him, he was going to pull for home, adding that lie had his place picked out to die, and was not willing to die in Arkansas, so the party was soon homeward bound. Married, at the parsonage at Bluffton, some time last week, John Bryan, of Marion, Ind., to Miss Elizabeth Ensley, this place; also at the residence of Rev. D. of Linn Grove, on Sunday evening Mr. F. J. Shepherd to Miss Mary Ensley. Monroe Melange. Died, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kessler October 21, 1893, aged four weeks. The Monroe postoftice was removed to the store room of C. W. Hocker, ounr new postmaster. Burned last Tuesday morning, a house belonging to Burket Lehman, three miles south of Monroe. The house had been rented to Abe Reef. Mr. Reef had moved one load of household goods into the house the evening before and all were burned. It looks very much like some some person had set it on fire purposely. Died, Jacob Hahn, last Friday, Oct. 20, 1893, at his home, one mile east of Monroe, after a.lingering illness of many months’ aged 71 years, leaving a wife and eight children. The Sanctified people from somewhere will hold a meeting at Monroe Hall every two weeks. Any person who never saw a “sanctified feller,” come to Monroe and you may find one. We won’t vouch that you will, Hendricks & Laughrey have purchased a bran new fire and burglar proof safe. A dandy chance for cracksmen. Joseph Hocker surrendered the postoffice to,his brother, C. W. Hocker, last Monday. The telegraph office at Monroe has not been pulled out yet as reported, and wt hope it will not be. Last account heard from John W. Hendricks, of Greensburg, Ky., who has been very sick, is convalescing. Jo P. Johnson is engaged in the toothache business, and is very successful, running the business day and night. He will soon have a car load of aches. TJU'd”- Pleasant Mills Featherweights 0 played the Monroe Razors a game of base ball last Saturday afternoon. The Pleasant Mills boys, what few there were of them, are gentlemen, so were the boys of Decatur, Colorado and Willshire. Os course, they wanted to be successful, and we can’t blame them much for borrowing a few experts. Knowing well that the Monroe nine' were the best players th the county . The outfit came on time on the train and a few in buggies, we understand one of the bug-, gies was loaded for bear, the ammunition’ was in a black bottle not very well corked, it came out very often during the game. The day was beautiful amj,the game a nice one and well contested by both sides, but when they had finished the Razors were ahead as usual. Then, oh then, a gale,-[a rush, a whirlwind, they left the field in squads and twos, feeling as though they had been jammed through the great saw dust pile back of the diamond. The Razors have crowed over many victories the past „ season, and never have met defeat. The Monroe team is composed of „ young men who have handled the plow and axe which have made them strong, and are gentlemen and will treat any team with courtesy upon the diamond or elsewhere that might visit them. They have flaxed every team that have challenged them, and stand ready to accept any team of base bill players in the county. Our Collection. Wheat looks well. We will make a statement concerning the Ray Cemetary. A small statement was also made last week of this yard. The Ray Cemetary is a beautiful burying place located one and three-fourth miles west from Monroe. The yard is back from the road a few rods and to reach this yard by the way of conveyance there is a deep ditch to cross, the bridge is not Safe and fire has completely destroyed the fence; the yard is now a pasture field for stock of all kind. Why not come together and make all the wants for the yard satisfactorily replaced. It certainly would not be wrong for some one to suggest a day for the purpose of making the above mentioned repairs. Some one please mention the day and let us publish it next week, for the good of •11.

Is your father dead, little boy?” "No ma’am, the money's for me fodder; he’s a orphan.” Mr. Union Club—l never get religious except at twilight, when I have time to sit before the fire and smoke.

Tok long-windedness exhibited by our City Fathers in improving our Alleys, tend to make one believe that they were adeps in that seductive game called freeze out. The present Congress m special session has a golden opportunity to show the difference between politicians and statesmen. One week from next Tuesday and the the great political racers for gubernatorial places in Ohio wii have finished their heats. While Ohio has always been counted a Republican State, there may be such a thing as a cold deck being run in on the occasion. The death of the Rev. Mr. Pettit, the wife murderer in the prison north, immediately following the granting of a new trial by the supreme court, recalls that three of the prominent attorneys in the original trial of the ease, together with several witnesses and one of the jurors, have died since Pettit was adjudged guilty.of wife poisoning. Two' of the attorneys, Judge Davidson, of Crawfordsville, and Col. W. C. Wilson, of Lafayette, defended Pettit, while the third, T. Arthur Stuart, was . employed by the state —Ft. Wayne Journal, Oct. 24 th. An Imporliint Decision. The decision of Judge Everett, of the superior court bf Tippecanoe county, will be of great interest to this county as well as all other counties of the state. From time almost immemorial it has been the custom of county treasurers to deduct from orders allowed by the commissioners any delinquent taxes owing by the bolder of the order. The orders themselves read that they are subject to the payment of delinquent taxes. Recently an action was brought to compel the treasurer to pay the orders in full on presentation regardless of whether anything was due the county from the owner of the orders. The superior court jgdge refused to grant an order compelling the treasurer to thus pay orders, holding that it would be manifested unjust and wrong to pay out to a man who was delinquent. Moneys from a fund that was already depleted by reason of the fact that be had not discharged his full duty as a citizen by paying bis share of the burdens. The case is one of general interest inasmuch as it involves thousands of dollars in every county. A ruling that the treasurer was, in law, compelled to pay orders when presented regardless of the question whether tlite holder was already a delinquent, would have made a difference of many hundreds of dollais every year in this county, for there are piles of orders in the auditor’s office unchdmed from the fact that the parties in whose favor they are drawn are well aware that they can not get the money if they present them to the treasurer until such time as they shall liquidate the old score standing against them.
