kxchanue gossip. *»d LOC«< Wew. Gathered by Our Staff oof Reporter. Howard county can boast ot the proud distinction of having two ed itors in the county poor house. This is a remarkable occurrence which would never have occurred had not these same editors very foolishly made an effort to pay their debts with a thousand or ’wo dollars in delinquent subscriptions on their books. —Marion Chronicle. The editor of an exchange says he is a true Christian, an adamatine pillar of the church and loves sacred songs, but when night after night he nears a man who owes him years’ subscription singing “Jesus Paid it All,” he feels like shedding his Christianity a few moments to go over with a club to give a receipt in full. Columbia City has a city council just like ours. They are spending the people’s money with a lavish hand, just like ours- They have several law suits on hand just like oars. They are losing the cases too, just like ours. But they say the complexion of the personnel will be changed in the spring. So will ours.

Pet’r Holthouse from Delator, Ind., was in town a day or two last week looking over the town as a place to locate a gents’ furnishing store with a ready made clothing attachment. He expressed himself as well pleased with the town and the opportunities for business and said he would return here this week and probably make permanent arrangements.—North Manchester Journal.

The attorneys, witnesses at d principals in the case of Thomae Bosworth against Flora Evins went to Decatur Wednesday night to begin the tria 1 of that cause wherein the plaintiff sues for 11,700 legal fees which he claims is due him from the plaintiff as per contract made and entered into before she had obtained her $7,500 judgment against the Lake Erie. The details of the case are too well known to need repetition in the Sun.—Portland Sun.

When George W. Steele as a candidate before the Hartford City convention promised Captain W. F. Daly the postoffiee and 1600 on condition that the latter withdraw as a candidate, he did not consider that Captain Daly would take them seriously. Although the captain scorned to accept the SBOO bribe, he had a right to expect the postoffice. Congressman Steele belongs to that class of politicians who believe that election promises are not made to be kept.—M ama County Sentinel. This accounts for the quick work done after convention adjourned from the grove to the opera bouse. A man up in Michigan raised a quantity of sugar beets this year, but instead of sending them off to an Agricultural school for testing, proceeded to test them himself. He took a quantity, boiled them up and reduced them to sugar, with a flavor something like maple sugar. It held the beet taste until he sugared off, when it then left it entirely. It can be made even by farmers, much cheaper than maple sugar he says. He extracted the juice of the beets by means of a cider press and got six pounds of sugar from seventytwo pounds of ground beets. If it

turns out that sugar can be made from beets as readdy and by a process s'milar to that of maple sugar; the prediction ot the secretary of agriculture that this country will be exporting sugar in ten years, will be assuredly fulfilled.— LaGrange ’Standard. How to Look Good. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital orgaan j .

Fortune does queer things sometimes and the new Peru oil field is no exception to the rule. On the hill in that territory north of the railroad which for years has been an eyesore to the city, lived a colored man named Artis He owned a small piece of property there which soon became valuable because of the numerous oil discoveries in that vicinity. A few days ago he was offered a good thing by a speculator and accepted it and as the result a 300 barrel oil well now stands on his lot. This same colored man who before lived from hand to mouth, now has an income of abont sll per day and is the happiest coon in the Wabash valley.—Huntington Herald. Con.umption Positively Cured. Mr. R. B. Greeve, merchant ot Chilhowie, Va. certifies that he had consumption, was given up to die, sought all medical treatment that money could procure, tried all cough remedies he could hear of, but got no relief; spent many nights sitting up in a chair; was induced to try Dr. King’s New’ Discovery, and was cured by use of two bottles. For past three years has been attending to business and says Dr. King’s New Discovery is the grandest remedy ever made, as it has done so much for Lun and also for others in his community. D. King’s New Discovery is guaranteed for coughs, colds and consumption. It don’t fail. Trial bottles free at Page I Blackburn’s drug store. A smal[ matter may grow into large dimensions when litigated in the courts. Considerable legal sparring has been going on in the circuit court this term over a horse, buggy and harness belonging to Jake Blew. When his wife tiled j suit for divorce, a restraining order was issued to prevent him disposing lof his property. The horse was at Rinehard’s stable, and finally the feed bill ran up to the value of the outfit, and Rinehard offered it fi r sale at public auction in order to get his pav. Mr. Blew at once brought suit under the restraining order to enjoin Rinehard from selling, and the case was argned backward and forward for several days. Judge Vaughn has decided that since the harness and buggy did not eat oats and hav they could not be sold, but that the horse conld be auctioned off in order to pay the bill.—Peoples (Bluffton) Press. The above litigants were once residents of onr city but moved to Bluffton several years ago.

The foot ball reporter of the Chicago Record thus describee the game as he saw it played in that city: “The game started bravelv. A man of about the size of a Norman draft horse —one of that kind that wears a full beard over each ankle - gave the ball a toss backward, and a tall, disreputoble looking fellow grabbed it and turned to east-north-east-by-three-quarters-nortb and he kicked the nearest man iu the stomach. For this he was entitled to five yards of territory and had he prompt ly raised his hand and yelled “Judgment!” at the referee be woald have been allowed that advantage; but while he was getting ready to file his claim two men from the opposition team rushed up and threw him into the air so that be came down on his neck in a lump. They then leaped upon him and tried to stamp him to death with their feet. They only succeeded in rendering him unconscious, which gaye them three points. “If you kick a man into insensiity that gives you three points. If you kill him it counts a touchdown and double six. Remember this. It is a valuable point to know in ease you ever play the game. Excepting the trumping of a partner’s ace in whist, nothing is reprehensible as to beat a man unconscious in a foot-bail game when you have abundant opportunity to kill him."
