A constable levied on a sewing machine of a Buffalo, New York, woman for a small debt and because she resisted giving it up, shot her dead. The machine was the woman’s only means of support for herself and husband, who had been out of work formany months. Such occurrences as these create doubt whether this is really an age of civilization and Christianity in which we live. 0 * The Amish of Ohio are having no little trouble just now over the detei ruination of their young men to wear “galluses.” The followers of this faith, as our readerswell know, are not given over to anything that savors of worldlinoss, but follow their own rigid rules in regard to dress, conduct and religion. The young men who have s.> tar departed from the rulings of the faith as to wear suspenders will be summarily dealt with. Statistics in the office of the secretory of the state board of health show that during the three months ending March 31, there were in the state 7,795 births, 72 cases of (wins, 3 cases of triplets and 117 illegitimates. They were according to the reports, 4,ooodeaths and 4,848 marriages. In marriages Clark county ranks next to Marion county on account of the Kentucky runawav couples being married at Jeffersonville. These reports are sent in by the county health officers. Thomas Bosworth, attorney, has brought suit against Flora Evans, who recently recovered $7,000 damages from the Lake Erie & Western railroad company in Judge Baker’s court at Indianapolis, claiming an additional fee of $1,700, basing it on a contract by which he was to receive 50 per cent, of total collection. Judge Baker allowed Bosworth and his associate attorneys, Messrs. Holstein & Barrett, of Indianapolis, and Emerson McGriff of Portland, altogether SI,BOO. A few evenings ago a well known resident of this city was seen in an express office fitting on a suit of clothes (which had probably come C. O. D.) on his son. This same man stood on the street corners during the last campaign and howled prosperity for our business men and everybody else if they would but vote for McKinley. Prosperity would reap better results if this confidence prophet would spend his money with home merchants instead of buying goods abroad from fake concerns. 7 While public opinio® is unanimous in the belief that the negro Mitchell who was lynched at Urbana, Ohio, a few days ago, received his just deserts, yet from a moral standpoint the affair is tp be greatly deplored. No crime justifies the people in taking the law into their own hands, for that act itself makes them violators of the law, and adds another crime to that which has debased manhood. U et the law take its course, and if the legal penalty is not severe enough, let our law makers amend the breach by fixing the punishment to fit the crime. Charcoal for hogs is one of the essentials in every feed lot, and one of the things most neglected. Hogs are off their feed, not doing well, are rooting in the ground up to their shoulders in search of roots or gravel, or something to supply this that they must have. I know some farmers that have never supplied this one essential in ten years, and,, they are invariably the farmers where you first hear of cholera. Hogs become cloyed with green porn; without grit ot some kind. They refuse to eat or gain, and are having their systems fitted by a careless owner to take in the cholera or fever germs.—Rural World. Lawyer E. D. Moffett of Hartford City, well known to our citizens as the former editor of the Decatur Joujnal, has brought suit against the Lake Erie railroad for S2OO, Moffet went on a little fishing expedition a few days ago, and the conductor took up the wrong part of the return ticket. When he presented the other part for redemption on his return, the conductor refused to honor it and he was obliged to pay a cash fare to keep from being ejected from the train. He fully believes that his feelings and his reputation as a fisherman has been damaged to the tune of*two hundred plunks. A country minister in a certain town took permanent leave of his congregation in the following pathetic manner: “Brothers and sisters, I come to say goodbye. I don’t think God loves this church

because none of you ever die. I don’t think you love each other because 1 never marry any of you I don’t think you love me, because you have not paid my salary. Your donations are moldy fruit and Wormy apples, and ‘by their fruit ye shall know them.’ Brothers, I am going away to a better place. I h?ve been called to be a chaplain of a penitentiary. Where luo ye can not come, but 1 go to prepare a place for you, and may the Lord have mercy on your souls. Goodbye.”—Ex. At Kingsland a few days ago occurred a ridiculous contest between Lon Kohn and Clarence Wilken. Both are young fellows who engaged in a bragging match about the number of eggs they could suck. Finally Hutchinson, the C. & E. station agent, agreed to furnish the hen fruit it the two would rur a race and prove the assertion that were egg-suckers from Roostervilte. A basket of eggs was secured and the lads started.in on a fair catvh-as-catch can contest. Kohn, who is the son of old man Kohn the horse trader, out near Greenwood, proved have the better staving qualities and put 37 under his belt. Wilken was able to handle only 31 and he gave Kohn the medal. Il iirchinson, who bonght the eggs, paid for near six dozen without a murmur.-—Bluffton Chronicle.

Confidence is all right; so is a note, if there is something to back it; but the backing must be there first in both cases. Modern financiering is a queer thiug when they come to apply the government affairs. It reverses all business maxims and business rules. It borrows foreign money and pays back interest and principal to get rich. It degrades half its own money and then sneers at the cheap money it has made. It puts 53 cent fiat into its silver dollars by its law of legal tender and then solemnly swears no value can be made by law. It sells its bonds to get gold to give for greenbacks to give gold for aud pays out the greenbacks to come back again for its gold to make sale for more bonds, thus increasing its bonded indebtedness every time a few millionaires want some bonds for their surplus capital. It pretends to have too much money because Wall street finds too much deposits to invest in a deadened market. It creates a panic to teach the west a lesson and then refuse to pay the deposits of the west in its banks; violates the laws by issuing illegal certificates; and finally when it squeezes through by its repudiation of payment of depositors, and forces a compromise it is so glad to get out of the snare it set for the west that it goes down to a big restaurant and treatshimself. Verily, verily, what great financiers these “honest money” people are! Prof. Foster, the weather prognosticator, in his predictions for this month, has successfully foretold the state of the weather so far in the month. He says: Expect much electrical display, many showers and sudden gusts, breaking into violent thunder and wind storms in many sections, from about the 10th until after the full moon on the 14th. From about the 10th to the 25th of June is the annual summer crisis, during which we reach, in the northern hemisphere, our longest days and shortest nights, and the earth begins to turn downward and back to the west. This solstice period is always attended by a marked increase ot electrical disturbance in our globe and atmosphere. The rainfall always rises to the maximum at this time, causing annual rise m the rivers. Showry, threatening weather will most likely continue during the reactionary dis-

turbances central on the 15th and 16th, and general and heavy rains and storms may be looked for the 21 to the 25th. The electrical displays are generally very vivid and continuous, often flashing in all parts of the heavens the whole night long. But nervous people should know that there is little danger in this lightning. During the rapid vivid thunder storms at this time it is highly imprudent to take refuge under trees, or to sit by open windows or doors. Very warm weather may be expected during the closing days, with atmospheric pertubations in many places. In the nature of things, much rain and some dangerous storms are to be expected in the month. There will be a general lack of rainfall in the latter part of the summer and early autumn, and those who succeed in maturing crops early will be fortunate. There Is Nothing So Good. There is nothing just as good as Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, so demand it and Jo not permit the dealer to sell you some substitute. He will not claim there is anything better, but in order to make more profit he may claim something else to be just as good. You want Dr. King’s New Discovery because you know it to be safe and reliable, and guaranteed to do good or money refunded. For coughs, colds, and consumption and for all affections of throat, chest and lungs, there is nothing so good as Dr. King’s New’ Discovery. Trial bottle free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Burton House, Burton, W. Va., and one of the most widely known men in the state was cured of rheumatism after three years of suffering. He says: “I have not sufficient command of language to convey my idea of what I suffered, my physicians told me that nothing could be none tor me; and my friends were fully convinced that nothing but death would relieve me of my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evans, then salesman for the Wheeling Drug Co., recommended Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. At this time my foot and limb were swollen to double their normal size and it seemed to me my leg would burst, but soon after 1 began*using the Pain Balm, the swelling began to decrease, the pain to leave, and now I consider that lam entirely cured.
