Says Chickens are Above a Girl’s Virtue.

Montieelk) Journal. Yesterday Clifford Archer was sentenced by the circuit court on the finding of jury yesterday to a term of from 1 to 8> years in the reformatory at Jeffersonville. The man was accused of stealing chickens. In the same jail with Archer is to be found James Willis, who is serving out a 90-day jail sentence imposed as a penalty for criminal assault on a young defenseless girl. The comparison is such as to create a feeling of dissatisfaction with the jury system, and tends trr create the impression that even a civilized people attach more value to property and the offenses against the same than to the virtue of women and girls. Tt. is no wonder mob violence takes the place of the law of the land and of the judge and jury in many - places.

Obituary of William Newton Pullin.

William Newton Pullin was the son of William and Barbara Bulbil, Jttorn in Knox county, 111., Feb. 10, 1844: died in Jasper county, Ind., Nov. 23, 1913, aged 69 years, 9 months and 13 days. There were two girls and three boys, but all except his brother, Charles, have preceded him to the great beyond. Newt learned the blacksmith trade in Rensselaer and Lafayette when 16 years old, and on April 9, 1871, he went out in the world for himself. Re was employed by the government \>n the battleship Baltimore, as the ship’s blacksmith, for three years. He traveled to many, foreign ports, and "was away until 1891. During these years be never sent any message home. He brought a collection of rare curios and various kinds of money when returning, but his home coming was blighted when he learned that his mother had died three years before; so he soon started away, going here and there over the United States, finally locating in or near Tacoma, Wash., about 24 years ago. For ten years he has been in poor health, and was operated on about ten years ago for cancerous growth of the stomach. He recovered slowly but never regained his former strength, which had been powerful. His brother, Charles, sent for him to come to Indiana, as soon as he was able to come after the operation, and the following two years he spent here at his brother, John’s, when, becoming dissatisfied, he went to Montana, then to Washington again, where he spent altogether nearly 24 years at Tacoma. He was not able to work as his trade successfully and again came back here, where the past 18 months has assisted witTT the farm work at his brother’s in Barkley township, being in his usual health until last Thursday evening, when he was suddenly stricken with acute stoipach trouble, and was not able to leave his room afterward. He pa/ssed quietly away about 7 o’clock SunHLe was an honest, economicaL industrious man, honored and respected by all who knew him. One brother, seven nephews, one niece, with friends and neighbors mourn their loss. ' He was rather uncommunicative about his past, and so far as known had never married. The funeral was preached by Riley NoweLs, of Rensselaer, at 2 o’clock Monday at the house, and interment made at Smith cemetery in Barkley township. — The University of Illinois has announced a short course in highway engineering from January 19 to January 31, to prepare county superintendents. e --- ■■■ - ■■■—-* Dr. Otto Lummer, director of the physics institute of the University of Breslau, Germany, announced at a, meeting of scientists Wednesday night that he had succeeded in making coal fiuid by electricity.
