with tlif Democrat this anonymous populist puts languge in our moutli we never uttered, anil strives to say that this paper has denounced col ored men for sein'ng. We hare denounced every one who lias violat ed the seining laws, and if the shoe (its this squealer let him roar. We would mildly suggest to the Dcmocrat')i cheerful idiot that he confine himself to the truth when quoting our language ami not misrepresent us. That is dishonest. We prefer to write our own opinions.

No Sunday newspapers will be s )ld in Cra wfordsville tomorrow. The spasm is tluttering right lively. James A. Kemp, Secretary of the Indiana Press Association is in the city today making arrangements for the tripot theHoosier editors to Atlanta, via Louisvslle, in October The editors, 175 strong, will be in the city on the 7th of October, and as they will be here up to midnight of that day it is proposed to give them a good taste of Kentucky hospitality. A drive around the city and a banquet are among tin- items f.n the entertainment bill of fare.

’93 and ’94, but nowhere in the United States have wages come back to the high tide mark reached in '91 and ’92 under the McKinley law. Listen to the voice of Lincoln gentlemen: “You can fool a part of the people all the time; you can fool all the people a part of the time; but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

There is a popular, turbulent and far reaching demand, dressed in its best Sunday clothes, finished off with tan shoes and a thirtythree degree hat, that Policeman Ashley’s watch dog be given speedy and free transportation on a limited ticket to dog heaven.

COMPLETELY EXONERATED- ( limits •>( thr Kniaht-Wehrln M,liter at Brazil. The ItelntiveH Act. Special to the Banner Times. Brazil, Aug 10. The tragedy resulting in the death of John M. Wehrle, clerk «>f Clay county, which occurred a month ago, in which Mr. Wehrle met Ills death at the hands of Hon. George A. Knight, a prominent at torney, was climaxed today bv a statement issued by the father-in-law, widow, two brothers and brother-in-law of the deceased, wholly exonerating Mr. Knight from all blame. Mr. Wehrle and Mr. Kiii'_ r ht were neighbors, and one' night the latter was awakened by noise he believed to have been occasioned by burglars. He heard some one run down stairs and out the door. Mr. Knight seized a pistol and followed quickly. Hearing some one slam the gate and seeing a man pass along the sidewalk, believing it to he the person who invaded his house, Mr. Knight fired, killing .Mr. Wehrle, who happened to he passing at this inopportune moment. Mr. Wehrle was return(iom down town where he posted a letter. The tragedy was universally deplored as both men were very prominent and bosom friends. The statement given to the press today reads as follows: To i iik Prune : We make this voluntary eommunii-a-tion in tli! 1 interest of a correct public statement, and in vimliealion of simple truth and justice. While every one concerned laments and deplores the recent sad ami tragic death of John M. Wehrle, we know that the act was an unfortunate event, purely accidental and unintentional on the part of Mr. Knight. No intention nor motive could ever have any foundation m fact, for nothing but neighborly kindness and perfect friendship ever exi-ted between them. And this feeling was expressed and emphasized by deceased before his death in the kindest and tenderest manner, exonerating Mr. Knight from all censure or blame. Mr. Knight has not only passed through great menial anguish and suffering on account of the deplorable calamity, hut has made reparation sufficient ami satisfactory to 'he family as far as human power could do this. We have no unkind feelings toward him or his family anil ask from the public and onr kind friends the same liberal feelings and sentiments. Brazil. Ind., Aug. 13, 18!»5. F. W. Sen ROM yer, F. J. Wehrle:, II. C. Weiirlk, Alice: 3. Wehrle, A. W. Turner. The creditors of the deceased met here today and found the total indebtedness of the deceased to he $24,020.20, exceeding the assets $4,746.81. Two Kinds. We heard a preacher the other day on the “unreliability” of the newspaper and their tendency to exaggerate and misrepresent. More than a year ago we heard this same minister preaching the funeral sermon of one of the meanest n e i in town—a man who was noted for being lazy, worthless and dishonest and geneialy no account. Yet this minister referred to him as a useful, honored and beloved citizen, and intimated that he was going to a place where all good poeple go. We leave it for any fair minded person to say who exaggerates and misrepresents the most this man or the newspapers.— Topeka Mail.

Hoile, of Chicago, who played substitute quarterback in the eleven last fall. In bathing he struck his head against an object in the water and received such injuries to his neck and spine as will not permit him to go into the hard work of the gridiron. He will not try tor a place on the team this year, and hij admirers will he sorry. Among the new men for the team is John L. Flannery, jr., of Chicago, late captain of the Urbana, Ohio, team.
