Montieello Journal. The contractor on the Nicholas Box ditch, west of Monon, Is having his own troubles just now. His dredge is working in a strtch of quick-sand nearly a half-mile long, and is surrounded by water for many rods each way. Almost as fast as a dipper full of dirt and sand is lifted out of the ditch, another one runs back to take its place. The commissioner that has the work in charge has advised him to through it the best he can. and ter get down to solid ground where he can secure an outlet to drain away the surplus water, then go back and finish up this quicksandy section.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?

No, never. It’s foolish to fear a fancied evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard against in swamps and marshes, bayous, and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters destroy and cast out these vicious germs from the blood. “Three bottles drove all the malaria from my system,” wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Lucama, N. C., “and I’ve had fine health ever since.” Use this safe, sure remedy. Only 50c at A. F. Long’s.

LEGALLY HANGED

By CHARLES LEWIS PHIPPS

“Which one of all your'Cases,” I asked Wilcox, the celebrated criminal lawyer, "has most excited your interest?" "That of Mathews, who was accused of murder.” “Was ho Innocent or guilty?’ -1~ “Innocent” ?Pid yon secure his acquittal?” “No.” "Hanged?” “Yes; legally hanged.”' ”Wbat do you mean by that?” "I’ll tell you. Mathews was in the employ of Henderson, the man who was murdered. I don’t care to go into the details of the case; I will only say that there was so much circumstantial evidence against him that from the first I despaired of saving his neck. I knew he was innocent, though he could no more explain the circumstances that pointed to his guilt than 1 could.” “How did you know he was innocent?”

“By both experience and intuition. I defy any of my clients to deceive me in this regard. I simply look them in the eye, and that tells me the story. “There was everything about Mathews’ case to interest me. He was a younger son of a British country gentleman and in love with the daughter of another British gentleman. His mother had no knowledge of his having been accused of crime, much less having been convicted, for I could do nothing to prove him innocent. He showed me his mother’s letters, and it was distressing to read them. , His betrothed was also writing him without any knowledge that he was under sentence of death. A week before he was to be hanged a letter from solicitors in England was banded him, informing him that a bachelor uncle had died and left him a large fortune.” _ • “Upon my word! It was an interesting cqse, wasn’t it?” “I.should say so. If ever there was a man who had everything to live for Mathews had. And to be judicially executed without ever having wronged any one in his life was simply awful. You have no idea how having a life on your hands wears on a man, and this case nearly drove me insane. “But I braced myself for a gigantic effort. After conferring with Mathews I decided to cable the solicitors in England, giving them the situation and asking how much funds they could cable me within a few days. They placed £20,000 to my credit, and with this sum I went to work. There was no use in trying to secure delay or a new trial. What 1 must do was to interest the sheriff. I had a long secret conference with him, but could not move him to act for money, though 1 so far secured his judgment that he must do an official wrong in hanging Mathews that he consented to wink at any game 1 might practice, provided it could be kept secret. “I got a friend of mine who was a professor in a medical college to apply for the body of Mathews as soon as he was dead. This enabled me to gain possession of the condemned man the moment the hanging was over. Then I “fixed” every official who was to be present at the hanging. Mathews put in a request that there should be no spectators present I could not even be present myself. But there was not one of the officials to whom I paid less than SIO,OOO, and the hangman got $25,000. My friend the doctor was the only one present who got nothing. He had a coffin ready for the corpse as soon as it was taken from the gallows and a hearse to carry it to the hospital. “Well, that night I went to the hospital and found Mathews locked in the doctor’s room.” "But how was the hanging managed?’ “I don’t know; I never asked. There were half a dozen men paid by the state to see that Mathews was hanged, and I paid every one of them—in all sloo,ooo—to go through the process without hanging him. All I know is that I paid the money and found Mathews alive in the doctor’s room. Some burnt cork, a woolly wig and a suit of clothes procured from a Jew tailor fixed him so that no one would know him. I had a steerage ticket for him in an outgoing steamer, and early the next morning he was on his way to England.”

“He must have been very grateful to you.” “Grateful! I should say so. Before parting with me he made me promise that I would come over as soon as possible and see him. I couldn’t go for a year, and then I found him In possession of £50,000 a year Income and married to the woman he loved. He met me on the steamer, and the first thing he did was to Impress it upon me that neither his mother nor his wife nor any one living except his solicitors knew that be was judicially dead Id America. He had often tried to bring himself to unburden bis secret to his wife, but bad always failed. "Mathews entertained me royally and begged me to suggest some way for him to pay the debt be owed me, even If It required every cent of his fortune. I assured him that I took more comfort In bis case than in all the cases I had ever won. though I had lost It "After Spending a month with him I left him to return. He could hardly bear to part with me and regretted that It wouldn't be safe for him to come to America or he would ertoss the ocean with mb. He shed tears when I cam* away."

Many Carrising Copped From The Fowler Republican-Leader.

Grant Hall started early Monday morning for Rensselaer via the auto route. Elmore Barce was in the Jasper county court house Saturday and used up all the oratory on the Pink-a-mink and so the Judge that he had not been able to recover until Wednesday. Miss Remzy Smith, of Chicago, has come to.live with Rev. and Mrs. Johnson at the Presbyterian manse. She is a beautiful little girl without a home and too valuable to be left to grow up on the streets of Chicago. A number of the creditors of Will Richmire met Saturday at the office of Grant Hall. Lee Dinwiddie was elected trustee and Wilbert Hawkins, George Matthews and Z. Hornbeck named as appraisers. Elmore Barce and family went to Chicago today. He will remain for three or four days. Mrs. Barce’s eye glasses need adjusting again, and Mr. Barce wants to read in the books in the law library. Frank Fisher, of Remington way, was in Fowler yesterday. He is slowly getting better, but is only able to tinker around as yet. Mrs. Tom Eastburn has sold her Jasper county land and bought a quarter section near the home of Mrs. Caroline White, paying $l3O per acre. Will McCullough, of Remington, was in Fowler Saturday. Judge Ben will be at Fountain Park assembly this year. No greater man is living. All should hear him. i

Fred Gay was in Fowler Monday and to show the great prosperity of Gilboa, he told that he had assessed corn in that township three different times; twice at forty cents and once at thirty cents per bushel. The corn could have been sold at one time at seventy-two cents per bushel. The owner of the corn said it was not necessary to print his name as every one knew him to be the biggest fool in the township. But he is mistakeu about that too. The local option election in White county yesterday resulted in a general victory, Reynolds alone going wet. The majorities as reported by telephone are as follows: Wolcott, 65; Monticello, 98; Monon, 150; Chalmers, 104; Brookston, 96; Reynolds went wet by 20. This could be expected. It was a tough place a half century ago. At that time Bob Sill was a character living in that town. Once on a time he was riding on the cars. He was drunk.< The conductor wanted the fare. He handed out a $5 bill. “Where are you going?” “Going to ’l.” “Your fare is three dollars and twenty-five cents. You get off at Reynolds.”

Saved His Bother's Life. “Four doctors had given me up.” writes Mrs. Laura Gaines, of Avoca, La., “and my children and all my friends were looking for me to die, when my son insisted that I use Electric Bitters. I did so, and they have done me a world of good. I will always praise them.” Electric Bitters is a priceless blessing to women troubled with fainting and dizzy spells, backache, headache, weakness, debility, constipation or kidney dis orders.

Discovered a Dollar Due Benton County—$20 Per Day for It.

Fowler Repulican Leader. Ray Gillespie has a spot as big as a dollar on his record. And he don’t care! And won’t pay. Tom Marshall’s Detectors worked on the record he has made during the past six years as county recorder and found them right to a cent. They were being paid twenty dollars per day and had to find something. And they did. They found that he had made the record of appointing Mrs. Gillespie as his deputy and did not pay the county fifty cents for so doing. They also found that he had made a record of the appointment of Ray Jones as his deputy and did not pay into the county fifty cents for that. And the detectors will not give him what they claim to be a “clean bill.”

Midnight in The Ozarks And yet sleepless, Hiram Scranton, of Clay City, 111., coughed and coughed. He was in the mountains on the advice of five doctors, who said he had consumption, but found no help In the climate, and started home. Hearing of Dr. King’s New Discovery, he began to use it. “I believe it saved my life,” he writes, “for it made a new man of me, so that I can now do good work again.” For all lung diseases, coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma, croup, whooping cough, hay fever, hemorrhages, hoarseness or quinsy, it’s the best known remedy.

Samuel Birch, of Beetown, Wls., had a most narrow escape from losing his leg, as no doctor could heal the frightful sore that developed, but at last Bucklen’s Arnica Salve cured it completely. It’s the greatest healer of ulcers, burns, boils, eczema, scalds, cuts, corns, cold-sores, bruises and piles on earth. Try it 25c at A. F. Long’s.
