JUDGE TAYLOR, of the Vigo Circuit nGourt, at Terre Haute, has decided that ithere are defects in the

clauses

of the

iNicholson law, providing penalties for violation, that render it inoperative. The judge was of the opinion that a man had to be found guilty of violating all the provisions of the law before he could be fined, as the law was so worded he •could not be convicted and fined for the ^violation of one provision. Out upon such •a frivolous teciin'cality it is too poor an excuse, Judge Taylor's decision may ..•not count ior much, as he has been somei.what unfortunate in having a large number of bis decisions over-ruled by the Supreme Court.

THERE I-* a great hue and cry over the strict enforcement of the excise law in -New York City on Sunday. The big ^brewers c'mm they are §105,000 pooiei each Monday on account of it. There aie a lot of men who^e families cannot well afford to do without what that money would buy, are that much richer each week. Better save the money for the mothers and babies than to give it to the big breweries any way.

•velt, president, and the other membeis, one of whom is Col. Fred D. Grant, of the New York Police Board, believe that the laws were made to be obeyed. All officials should understand that nothing •-•is so popular iu a community as pluck valid courage and a tearless performance -«f duty. Such a course wins the approbation of this community and makes converts to the cause of law and order.

EVERY slur or attempted slur on our city or its citizens injures the city to some extent. The evil thing will some way stick somewhere and cause some injury, though it be ever so small. The Democrat of last week in speaking of our uaw city building on North street reerred to it a== going up on "Chicken avavenue," and in that way attempted to ring both the street and the building into disrepute. The facts are, North street is one of the best and handsomest streets in our city, and during the past year or two has made the greatest advance of improvement of any street in the city. It is longer than any other street in the city except Main, and has cement sidewalks on both sides, and is, all things considered, the best street in the city, for both walking and driving. On this street are the third ward school building, the city building, the new $20,000 Christian cfcurch, Marshall T. Smiths new brick block, the new first ward school building might also be said to be on this street, as the school property runs from Main to North strtet, the new $29,000 High School building will bs on this street. Mayor Duncan, Councilmen J. H. Moulden, Z. Morford and W. N. Vaughn all own handsome homes on this street, thus showing it to be a street of political power and inllueuce. Tnere are also a large number of o&her handsome residences on North street owned aud occupied by some of our most enterprising and leading citizens, who resent the attempted slur on their street aud place of residenoe.

Same Old Good Report.

George W. Reed, of Greenfield, was here today. He reports that city on the boom. —Shelbyville Republican.

Wherever you hear of a man from Greenfield or from any place in Hancock county, speaking of Greenfield it fiis always in terms of praise. The only man Jn the county who seems to want to bring Greenfield in disrepute is John Mitchell, of the Hancock Democrat, as he is continually slurring the city and its management.

TODAY THE NEW TOWNHIP GUARDIANS TAKE THEIR POSITIONS.

They Will Make Annual Reports and Elect a County superintendent in September.

Today the new township trustees were all in and had their bonds already piepared and were ready to assume the duties of their offices. The following are the names and postoffice addresses of the trustees of this county:

Blueriver, J. F. Coffin, Rep., Westland. Bran ywine, Charles Scott, Dem., Greenfield.

Brown, Philip K. May, Rep., Wilkinson. Buckcreek, John W. Griffith, Rep., Philadelphia.

Center, J. K. Henby, Rep., Greenfield. Green, Dr. W. A. Justice. Dem. Eden. Jackson, Allen S. Hill, Rep Charlottesville.

Sugarcreek, Henry Fralich, Deni., New Palestine. Vernon, J.W. Trittipo. Dem. Fortville.

This is the first time in the history of the county that a majority of the trustees have been Republican. Several times there have been four, but last year's landslide brought in five and came near landing one or two more.

Monday, Sept. 2nd, it will be the duty of the trustees to elect anew county suDeiintenclent, and tfcey will perform that duty. There are so far as heard from, three candidates: Waller G. Bridges, Center Capt. Lee O. Harris Center: J. W. Jay, Vernon. The contest promises to be an interesting one. The trustees, after carefully considering the merits and qualifications of the candidates, should elect the man who will in their udgmeut bring the schools of the county to the highest point of efficiency. All of the candidates are well qualified, are good Republicans, and the man who will best advance and serve the interests of the schools should be chosen.

The posting up and publishing of his report by each township trustee will cause /ery tax payer in the county to be conversant with the business of his township. This is right and proper as the tax payers furnish the money. They have a right to aud should know just how this money is spent.

In answer to inquiries Attorney General Ketcham states that township trustees refusing to prepare and publish annual reports of receipts and expenditures, will be subject to a fine. He says: "The act of March 7, 1895, requiring township trustees to publish annual reports, provides that every township trustee in this state, immediately after the taking effect of this act, procure, at the expense of his township, a book and on the first Monday in August of each year he shall post up a statement, and shall, within ten days after filing his report, cause a copy of bis report in full to be published one week in a weekly news paper, and shall be liable on his bond in the sum of $100 for failure to publish such report. "This act took effect on the 28th of Jane last, and certainly applies as fully to trustees now in office as any who may hereafter be elected. If a s-chool supply house has recommended the trustee now in office not to make such a publication that fact should be reported to the prosecuting attorney of the county, which recommendation is clearly counseling the violation of the law."

Up in the top story ©f The building, where the typeseting and other machines dot vert hing but talk, says Boston Globe, there is a pleasant-faced, clear skinned light complexioned man of 52, who has been with The Globe ever since the birthday of that great paper. He is the night foreman of the composing room, and looks fully 15 years younger than he realy is. His name is Mr. Charles Rolfe.

Nervous headaches that well might drove him to distraction first introduced him to Paines celery compound. That was five years ago, and until that time he was one of the most pronounced opponents of prepared remedies to be found in the city.

Just how Paine's celery compound was first brought to his attention he does not remember, but it has done him so much good that the compound has no more enthusiastic champion living. He is as happy as any one in the enjoyment of good health could be, and for that happiness he gives full credit to Paine's celery compound. Read what he had to say about the medicines: "I am always ready to reccommend Paine's celery compound when I hear of a case similar to my own. Some five years ago I was suffering from headaches which were sometimes so severe during working hours of the night that I would clasp my hands over my head to 'hold the top on,' the pain being excruciating. These attacks would occur sometimes as often as three times a week. Sleep was out of the question, the pillow seeming but a block of wood "Just at the time I was suffering most I bought a bottle of Paine's celery compound, began at once to take it, and before a week had passed the headaches began to disappear. I felt almost a new man before the bottle was emty. I purchased more, and for two jears kept it in tbe

house for use whenever I felt a return of the old pains. The other members of my family also began to take it—my wife for^ a feeling of general weakness, she being at that time.much 'run down' and never feeling well enough to perform the work of the home. Within a week she was, as she expressed it,'as well as ever in her life,' and similar reports came from all" our friends to whom we had recommended it. "I feel confident that in nervous headaches and a run down, system the compound will be benefical every time, if not a perfect cure. "In some instances we have not only recommended it, but furnished it to very aged friends, and the effect of oae bottle' has seemed marvelous, and particular old friends of mine telling ma that before one bottle had been used he 'felt at leastten years younger, aud certainly had notfelt as good for 10 ears. •'During the last five years I have used a great many bottles of the compound —that is, iu my home. I atn positive that it is a sure cure, for nervous head-? aciies and a brokendown f' eling especiallyg in the case of elderly persons "There is one case in particular I calls to mind, in which Paine's celery compound asserted its good qualities.

had a young married lady friend, who was nursing her 4 month old child, and found that she could not perform ter household duties ou account of the weak® conditions she seemed at ways to be in. On the recommendation of my wife and myself she took one bottle of the compound, and before two weeks -had passed was able to do her own washing even, in .addition to horse work. About three bottles were used. I have yet to hear from any friend to when I recommanded it other than the most favorable results.
