Nice Florida oranges, 20 cents a dozen, at John Eger’s. David R. Devine, telegraph operator, recently arrested at Cleveland, 0., pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy in the circuit court at Pontiac, Mich., Monday. Hie was sentenced for two and a half to five years. It was said he married seven women. Sylvester Spohm died Sunday in the hospital nt Rochester, this state, of tetanus. He fell a week ago and broke his leg. The attending physicians set his leg, using steel plates, which were screwed into the bone. Infection followed. As a result of the murder of August Dickman, a policeman, by Archie Butehins, a negro, race feeling became so strong Monday at Kankakee, 111., that several negroes were driven out of the city. Several families left voluntarily. Fred Schintz, a farmer at Mishawaka, saved $243 and went to Chicago to “see the sights.” Two men in the LaSalle street station greeted him as an old friend. He showed them his money. They carefully wrapped it in paper and pretended to hand it back. He told the police about it and then went home. The dredge has been shut down again tor several dafys, owing to a broken cable. Another had been ordered from St. Louis but had not arrived and a new one was procured tips morning from Chicago, having been sent flown by express. It weighed a little over 500 pounds. The hoisting cables are subject to frequent breaks. John O’Connor, former sheriff of this county, has purchased of Robert Michal the former French property on Cullen street, at present occupied by Mrs. James West and family. Mrs. West will move at onCte to the house just vacated by Mrs. J. L. Willis and it is understood Mr. O’Connor will move here from Kniman the first of the year. : Harry Garver, 30 years old, shot and killed his uncle, Watt King, at their home northwest of Shelbyville Monday night. King’s wife is dead and the nephew arid his wife are separated and the two men had been living together recently. Garver’s actions have been such during the last few weeks as to cause the belief that he is demented. A report on the streets Today was to the effect that W. L. Wood, the Parr storekeeper, had caused the arrest of two other parties as suspects in the recent robbery. The rumor’ is false, however, and no other arrests have been made. Mr. Wood, however, has some other parties under suspicion, and it is not improbable that other arrests will* be made. Harry Jones, secretary-treasurer of the International Assoication of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, and George E. Davis an iron worker, were indicted by a federal grand jury at Indianapolis Monday on a charge of conspiracy to transport dynamite and nitroglycerin unlawfully. Both indictments were based on Davis’ alleged confession. John Copsey, for some time the baker at - Barnes’ restaurant, 'has severad connections with that concern and is moving to Lafayette. His household goods were shipped yesterday and Mrs. Copsey will remain here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs Monroe Carr, until their things arrive at their new home. Mr. Oopsey formerly lived in Lafayette and has secured employment there. Mr. and Mrs. iMack Quinlan, Mrs. Joseph Halligan and Miss Maggie Halligan left this morning for New Orleans, La., Where they will spend the winter. Mrs. Quinlan is an invalid spent several winters in the south. Mr. and Mrs. Quinlan reside at Fairmount, Ind., but spend considerable time with their relatives *in this county. Mrs. Nathan Feudig accompanied them to New Orleans and will spend the winter there with her two daughters. Attorney John Westfall, who came here from Whiting several months ago, has been absent for some time and it is understood left with his family for some place in the west, leaving hit' household goods stored here. Today relatives from Remington are packing the household goods to ship to them. Mr. Westfall is said to be a very able attorney, but for some time past he has not been succeeding at his practice, due to some personal habits, it is said, and while here he worked for a time as a farm hand and other labor. It is sincerely hoped that .he gets hold of thimself and starts life anew in his western home. The Indianapolis Star suggests that all persons who have no business on the streets of that city refrain from bdng there. Crowds encourage the rioters and there are some ready to take advantage of any opportunity for violence, notwithstanding the fact that {rim strike leaders are appealing for order. In the interest of law and order the city government has forbidden people on the streets. A bystander was killed Tuesday. Hereafter idle bystanders will not be regarded innocent but guilty and required to move on. Indications point to the settlement of the strike without serious difficulty and fur* thur peace efforts are on foot.

NEW PAINTERS’ JACK.

Btand Cart Be Lengthened Without Danger of the User Falling. A painter's pack, on which a man may work with np fear of its overturning, has been invented by a Pennsylvania man. The platform of the Jack has two supporting bars pivoted near the outer end and connected with it farther in by rods that are pivoted to the bars and slidably mounted on-the board. The platform extends out of a window across the Bill, ' and the supporting bars run down diagonally from it, and rest against the house wall. Inside the room and movably mounted on the inner end of the board are vertically depending bars, which are moved up till they fit close against the wall, and prevent any longitudinal movement. Thus clamped to the sill, there is no possibility of the jack moving.

No Danger of Overturning.

either out or in or up and down, though it can be extended to the limit with perfect safety. Whdta not in use the whole contrivance can be folded into small compass.

ROBIN ESTATES.

English Birds Pay Attention to Land Boundaries. F. B. Kirk men, a British naturalist, relates some remarkable facts. about the winter habits of the English robin. From the end of August to the middle of February, he says, the Individual robins are found in solitary possession of a more or less welldefined feeding area from which all others of their own species are excluded. Mr. Kirkman one winter made a map of the separate “estates” of the robins inhabiting an -English farm. Their boundaries were found to overlap slightly “but every robin clearly recognized to within a yard or two the position of his boundary, and made the fact quite clear to any other robin who did not.” When driven from their little estates, they Invariably returned at the first opportunity. In cold weather the robin will sometimes associate with his fellows in picking up crumbs, but “he is happly only alone.”

Small Wastes on Railways.

A somewhat amusing but instructive method of drawing their employes' attention to the, effect of small wastes is adopted, according to the Railway and Engineering Review, by the Pere Marquette Railroad. A table has been -’rawn up by the company showing that for every postage stamp needlessly used the railway has to haul one ton of freight a distance of 3% miles to recoup for this two miles; a track-spike, two miles; one pound waste, 10% miles; a lamp chimney, 10% miles; a station broom, 35 miles; a lantern, 100 miles; track-shovel, 90 miles; 100 pounds of coal, 20 miles; one gallon engine oil, 50 miles; one gallon signal oil, 60 miles; air hose, 225 miles; drawbar knuckle, 300 miles.

Whitewash From Cactus.

In Uruguay the cactus plarft, which grows there so abundantly, Is utilized in the making of a whitewash which is very white and very durable. Visitors to that 1 country often comment on the appearance of most of the buildings, which are white even in the dampest weather, and the explanation of this Is said to rest in the fact that the whitewash is made of the sliced leaves of the common cactuß, macerated in water for 24 hours. To the creamy solution produced lime is added, and when applied to any surface a beautiful pearly white is produced.

Handy Camp Lantern.

To make an Inexpensive lantern that will prove handy in camp, take an ordinary three or five pound lard bucket, unfasten the bale handle at one side, cut a hole in the bottom, bend handle around and fasten ip

hols as shown in the accompanying drawing. Next cut a cross In the side, bend the points of cross inward, and then Insert the candle. The point (A) will hold the candle In place. This lantern will afford a fairly good light and Is not easily put out by the wind —W. R. 8.

To Tell Linen From Cotton.

When buying handkerchiefs or other linen goods, to find out if they really are lines, molßten the tip of the finger and press on them. If the wet penetrates the handkerchief at once it is linen, but If cotton It takes some seconds to wet through the thread.

NORTH NEWTON.

James Zickman and brother, Joe, were returning home Sunday afternoon when they met an auto just east of Evert Grimes. One of the horses became frightened, running into the ditch arid upsetting the buggy, throwing’'the . beys out, breaking the tongue out of the buggy, and the tongue run irftp the side of the horse, causing it to bleed to death in a short time. The boys "Were unhurt. James Lane and family attended church in Rensselaer Sunday. Miss Anna Zickman and brother, James, were in Rensselaer Monday. Misses Katharine and Lucy Lane spent last Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Evert Grimes. Miss Dile Grimes went to Rensselaer last Wednesday and spent Thanksgiving with friends there. In last week’s items was Mrs. Biggs returned home. It should have read that she returned to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Bierley. Joe Lane and 'family were in Rensselaer Monday. Ed Shindler was in Surrey Monday. Miss Rose Lane is spending this week at iher grandmother Guildenzoph’s. \ Mrs. Win. Bierley called on Mrs. Milt Grimes last Tuesday. Edward Lane spent a few days last week in Rensselaer. James Zickman is husking corn for Harry Romine this week. Mrs. Milt Grimes spent last Thursday with Mrs. Evert Grimes. Last Friday was visiting day at the 'school of Miss Nellie Parker. She visited Miss Dena Hanson’s school at Curtis Creek school.

Endeavor to Give Market.

The Endeavor Society of the Christian church will hold a market Saturday, Dec. 6, at Rowen & Kiser’s store. Patronize them. Attorney Gifford, of Tipton, who came here today, was in Indianapolis Tuesday and thought he was going to witness some excitement for a time. A wagon loaded with milk appeared on the street and was at once surrounded by men and* boys, who would probably have unhitched the horses and assaulted the driver but for the timely arrival of the mounted police, who dispersed the crowd and protected the wagon and driver. Since the police are firing into mobs that refuse to disperse when ordered and the people know it, only one order for dispersion is usually required. Strangers in the city are warned to keep off the principal streets. Business is paralyzed. Phone 273 for feed, baled hay and straw. Tom -Manley arrived here last night from Keokuk, lowa, for a short visit with his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kepner, and his little daughter, Florence, who has been with her grandparents here for the past four months, during which time Mrs. Manely has been in the lowa state tuberculosis sanitarium at Oakdale. She is now somewhat improved and Mr. Manley will take their little daughter and go to Oakdale the first of the week, and Mrs. Manley will leave the sanitarium §nd go to Keokuk, where they will remain until after the holidays. If she does not seem entirely cured they will probably move to either California or Arizona. One who, having no license and having received money from another with directions to procure intoxicating liquor for him, sends the order to a dealer in another place, is held in Josey vs. State (Ark.) 44 L. R. A. (N. S.) 463, to effect a sale which will subject him to punishment, if the one to whom the order is sent places the bottle containing the liquor with that of another customer in a box sent by express directed to both customers, upon the arrival of which the intermediary receives the bottle and delivers it to him, from whom he received the commission. With these cases is a note reviewing the authorities on the question of the place of sale of Intoxicating liquor. After a married life of almost half a century, Mrs. J. A. Crosby, aged 74 years, of Altus, Okla., Friday was granted a divorce from J. M. Crosby, 86 years old.

Ten thousand rounds of rifle and revolver ammunition valued at $25,000, were seized by customs inspectors Friday afternoon aboard tnc steamer Seminole, lying at its pier in New York elty. The Seminole was to sail Saturday for Haiti and San Domingo. The confiscated ammunition was hidden In many different part of the vessel. Albert J. Krabbe, clerk of Lafayette, was married last summer and took a wedding trip, leaving his office in charge of James W. Schooler, then city controller. Examiners who have just gone over Mr. Krabbe’s books find that Schooler got away with $575 while Mr. Krabbe and his bride were on their trip. Mr. Krabbe just learned how expensive his trip was and when the examiners called his attention to the discrepancy in the Schooler records Krabbe wrote a check for $575, saying, “By gum, that was an expensive wedding trip.” Most of the culture of today is misplaced and should be steered back to agriculture.

JUSTICE.

Editor of The Republican: I notice in last evening’s' issue of your excellent paper what is said about the case of Jake Smith, .arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the Jobberies recently committed at Parr. As to the justice of the arrest or of the commitment to the lockup without a 'hearing, I have nothing to fcay. But it seems to me that something ought to be said regarding the statement Smith is reported to have made to Mr. Wood, “That he (Smith) knew who the robbers were but did not dare to tell on them for fear they would kill him.” That is the statement of a coward; of one who has little or no respect for law or justice. It is a sad fact that he is not the only coward of this kind. I have known men to conceal crime for fear of business losses and even from pettier motives.

I am not a lawyer, neither have I ever read Blaekstone, yet it seems to me that I have heard, “It is a crime to conceal a crime.” That the person having knowledge of a crime having been committed, or even contemplated, and does not reveal the facts to the proper authorities, becomes thereby an accessory either before or after the fact, and may be tried as such. Such concealment should constitute a crime in Itself scarcely less than the crime concealed. On that ground, Smith, if he has been correctly reported, ought, in justice, be tried and if convicted receive the full penalty of the law. While I am writing I will add that I most heartily commend the attitude The Republican has taken in the James Willis case. If law is to be respected it must be .administered in justice. Nothing creates a disrespect for law and causes people to resort to "mob law” imore surely than such flagrant breaches of justice as the verdict rendered in the Willis case. It seems to me that whon a jury, brings in such a verdict as tha.t r one that calls fprth the denunciation of the court, that the judge should have the power to set it aside arid send the jury back to remain until it brings in a more just verdict, or declares that It cannot agree. Or else he should havethe power to set aside the verdict,, discharge the jury in disgrace, pro ceed to empanel another jury and retry the case. Yours for Justice “Writ Large." OBSERyER.
