know that the wages of working men are being advanced, but it would be still more satisfactory to know they had advanced to the rates paid before the Democratic party came into power. The reduction in wages caused by the Democratic war on protection amounted to about 30 percent., the advance thus far has recovered about one-half of that, wages being 15 per cent., lower than thej 7 were under the lute Repuliean administration.’' Five dollars is a small amount of money, but when it is hacked up by a principle it is worth as much as five hundred. The payment of Mr. Thompson’s claim against the Bloomington boys is an evidence that the militia of Indiana will countenance no such actions as were charged against any of the state’s troops visiting here. The Banner Times was interested in seeing jus tice done and further than that had no interest. We are satisfied with the settlement of the matter.

There is a constant increasing murmur that our officers act and that speedily in squelching the sale of that Indianapolis paper of sensationalism. Other cities should not long he permitted to remain in advance of Greencastle in this matter.

The New York Sun is somewhat disgusted with platforms, especially Democratic platforms. It tays: “I’latforms are rot. The national democracy has shown that since lsm2. Declare for anything you please. The platform is for gudgeons. The candidate is the thing. The candidate is the platform. Lying is cheap.

Coi.onei. Watterson, iu the Louisville Courier .lourunt, says the record of the Democrats party from INtil to 1895 is “a history of and biunber following another in a.most unbroken succession,’’ and whut it needs is a new set of leaders with the courage of their convic lions, “ not noisy zealots drunk upon the verbosity of their own rhetoric.”

of the managers of the electric

light plant, having learned in yesterday’s Banner Times that the electric light here had features en tirely unknown in the west supposed that he had seen a man enter the Burns house on the cor ner of College Avenue and Olive street, but it has now been shown by the police that it was only the electric light. Some weeks ago it (the light) took on the form of a man—he thought it was a man until the police have proven other wise—medium height, rough beard, and a derby that had seen other days, went to a window, raised it, went in and dropped the window. At another time, early one morning, members of his family saw the light in human form as before, coming out of the house and demanded of it an explanation for being in that house. It replied that it had rented the house and was taking the dimensions of the rooms. On last Thursday night about mid night Mr. Weaver heard « noise, in looking from his bedroom window, saw the electric light in the same peculiar form, this time with a hatchet in its hand with which it was knocking a box into kindling wood. Then gathering the kindling in its arms it entered the house. In a short tune smoke was issuing from the chimney. Then the light went out to the cistern with a fiat pan in its hand and filled it with water and again entered the house much the same as a man would do if he were about to cook a midnight meal or take a hot foot bath. Coming from the wild nnd # woolly west, it seems strange to Mr. Weaver that electric lights should possess the power to raise windows, turn the crank of a cistern and actually talk. But the wood-chop-ping feature is of especial interest to him, since, as he says, he doesn’t like to chop wood, and is looking for the managers to have the elec trie light, with the wood chopping attachment, connected with his

premises.

Attorney KniKM'N Pifutol, Hon. George A. Kniglt, of Bra zil, fired his revolver at a form which he suspected was a burglar and his aim was sure enough to bring the man to the ground. The man was not a burglar but was Jack Wehrle, clerk of tbe Clay circuit court. Let* D. Mathias was in Brazil last evening and said the unfortunate affair caused great excitement. Mr. Knight and Mr. Wehrle were neighbors and good friends. Mr. Knight heard a noise about eleven o’clock and went out to investigate. He saw a man in the alley and fired. Mr. Wehrle was going home and entering his yard by the rtar gate was struck by the bullet which passed through his body near the middle. It is not known at this hour whether Mr. Wehrle will die, but the wound is a very serious one. Mr. Knight was easier this morning. This morning’s Terre Haute Express

says:

Brazii. July 17.—aboul 11 o’clock Marshal Loudei liack anil J. M. Wehrle. county clerk, were going home and they separated at the corner of Gen. A. Knight’s residence, Wehrle going home. Mr. Knight was awakened by a burglar trying to get into his house and gut up to Investigate Wehrle lives in the rear of Knight's residence and was going into his gate when the burglar was leav ing the rear of Knight’s house. Knight tired at the burglar and t..e ball hit Wehrle in the abdomen. Mr. Wehrle is yet alive but cannot live till morning.

A committee of three was selected from the depositors to make a thorough investigation of the manner, in which the business of the bank had been conducted and to ascer- | tain the value of the assets and to learn if possible just who composed the Cloverdale bank and who are responsible to depositors. The committee was instructed to make a rigid examination of the entire j business.

A meeting the county clerks of the State will be held at Lake Maxinkuckee, July 18, to confer in the matter of a uniform rate of fees. The fee and salary law under which the clerks are now working is not thoroughly understood in some of the counties and the gathering is for the purpose to straighten out and clear up these misunderstandings. There is no political j significance attached to the meet j ing. Neither is their any idea of forming a combination to tight the
