IT is against the law IN Norway for girls to marry until they can knit, bake and spin. We believe that would be a good law for the U. S. and then the men would not have to darn their own socks.

THE town, of Sandusky, in Decatur county, was the scene of a murder yesterday. James Goddard, a prosperous merchant wus shot and instantly killed by David Seawright, a farmer. The trouble grew over a grandchild of the aboved named men. Goddard's son, Taylor, married a daughter of Seawrigbts, tea's-i-tg a child to the care of her mother. The families are close neighbors and the child stayed at each house part of the time. Sunday morning the child's father went over to Seawright's to get his little daughter, the Seawrights refused to let him have her. He went back to his home and told his father, who immediately accompanied his son back to the house. Hot words ensued, and during the fight, David Seawright emptied the jntents of a bhot gun ia the elder Goddard's face.

There is anew scheme in pactiee for swindling the farmers and o'.her people of the country. Word of a successful working of it was received Saturday by the police authorities at Indianapolis. An agent of a. music house induced the farmer, whose name was not given out, to buy a piano, agreeing to take his notes at 8 per cent, in three several payments. The notes were executed, and a day or two after the same agent called on the farmer and reported that his house had concluded to reduce its interest rate from 8 to per cent., and that it was not yet too late for the purchaser of the piano to have the benefit of the reduction. The farmer was pleased with the idea, and, receiving back his three 8-per-cent. notes, as he supposed, he signed new ones at 0 per cent, and destroyed the notes delivered to him. These notes however, were forgeries, and later the farmer l'ound that there were two sets o£ notes against him for the same piano. The notes were disposed of in Danville, 111. The agent has disappeared. Will the people of this country never learn to quit signing notes or other papers presented by strangers/ It seems nob. Hardly a day passes but what we read of some smooth individual "working" an innocent person. The newspapers are full of such pranks as these every day, yet there are people who will read the articles and then when a stranger comes along with a paper, they will sign it. The paper they sign generally turns out to be a note.

Old Masonic Hall Corner Stone Opened. Today Enos Geary took out the corner stone of the old Masonic buildii which was placed there in Aug. 15,1854. Montgomery Marsh was present and saw the corner stone laid and the contents placed therein by the late Andrew Hart. There are not many here, however, who £were present on that occasion, the greater majority having passed on to the "land beyond. The contents which were in the stone were well preserved. A glass can which was in the stone was broken, but the rest of the things were in good condition. In money there was 94 cents, as follows: One silver 50 cent piece dated 1834 one 25 silver cent piece, 1853 one large 1 cent piece, 1853 one silver halfdime, 1853 one silver dime, 1831 one silver 3-cent piece, 1853. The rest of the contents were: Constitution and by-laws and a list of the names of the members of the I. O.O. F. lodge "Masonic Re view" and "American Free Masonry list of the Government, State and County officers list of the members of the Hancock Temple of Honor, also a list of the members of the members of the lodge at that time. The following town officers were then serving: J. R. Bracken, Mayor H. C. Chapman, Recorder J, B. Rawlins,* Marshall Concilmen Nathan Crawford, H. A. Swope, A. K. Branham, John Ryon, Jam9S Carr J. D. J. Wood, Treasurer.

The McLoughlin Case Decided. The case of Rolla McLaughin, who was refused a license to sell liquor by the County Commissioners at their last term and which was appealed to the Circuit Court, was decided by Judge Offutt this morning. He held that names on a petition could be withdrawn any time before the Commissioners met in their regular ^session to transact business. As about to* ty names were withdrawn from the petition, it did not leave a majority of the names of the voters on the remonstrance, therefore McLaughlin was granted license.

SOME OF THE FIRST.

Tho first tool made by human hands was a celt, or haudleless ax of chipped stone. With it a man can kill or skin game, hack wood or spiko an enemy.

A handle put upon the celt transversely makes it an ax a handle longitudinally makes an arrow. Tho bow, according to Professor F. N. Cushing, camo long afterward.

Tho first boat was a log bestridden by the navigator, who paddled it with a stick. Hollowing tho log with a stone colt was the next stop.

The first bridge was a footlog. A handrail came next, then the rude braces which made a larger span possible. By tho time of Caosar, as every schoolboy knows, bridges had bccomo formidable structures.

Tho first horse had five toes and was about tho size of a fox. The middle too is loft. The others havo perished from lack of use, though traces of them aro to be found in the "splint" on the side of a horse's leg.

Tho first houso was a cave. Of that there can be no doubt. The buildings of today can be traced through Greek and Roman sources back to tho Egyptian originals, whicli again grow from the forms of the ancient rock temples.

Ivory Dust.

Ivory dust for jelly is sold in London at sixpence per pound. It is the waste which results from the manufacture of ivory into various articles, and a workshop will accumulate, according to amount of output, from five to six pounds of dust in a week. The proportions are one pound of dust to a quart of water, boiled for eight or ten hours. The product is a clear jelly, whicfh is strained and flavored to taste or diluted for the purpose of soup.

But the stock of elephant ivory is dying out substitutes are used largely in place of it. There is vegetable ivory, the seed of a low growing palm in South America, each seed about the size of a hen's egg, and various artificial ivories, a compound of caoutchouc, sulphur and some white substance, pipe clay, gypsum or oxide of zinc, or, more simple still, a mixture of skimmilk and borax, which, compressed, forms into a cream colored block, and may be used in place of native African ivory, which it closely resembles.

Thus even when the elephant becomes as extinct as the dodo, ivory jelly may still keep up, if not add to, its reputation.—London Letter.

A Sure Sign.

A country minister remarked to his wife Son(lay noon "There was a stranger in church this morning." "What did he look like?" asked the wife, who was a woman first and a minister's wife afterward.

Passengers Tell a Different Tale From Dispatches.

BOLD'MOVE OF THE INSURGENTS.

IVIartine/. Campos Leaves Santa Clara For One Jsi^lit atid During His Absence the City Is ^(t.acked by tho Insurgents—Iispatclies From j&avana Report Small

SlciriTYishe*—Reports Sent to Madrid. TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 7.—Passengers arriving from Cuba last nigiic report the landing on Thursday of an expedition in Bahai Honda, 40 miles west of Havana, composed of 180 well armed men, supposed to be commanded by Collusco or O.rillo. Martinez Campos reached Havana Thursday morning from Santa Clara. That night at 8 o'clock the insurgents, under General iSanchoz, entered the citv of hanta Clara, entering as iar as Central park, killing many bpanish soldiers, capturing their arms, am munition and provisions and returning to the country.

It was a most daring attack and caused groat excitement. Campos, upon hearing the bold stroke, lefc Thursday at midnight lor Santa lara without having given audience to any one. His sudden departure from Havana created oonsteruaiion there. Hail communication from Santa Clara is impossible. Tne lnsurg'iits have destroyed the track and the storm on Tuesday seriously daniaired all tho bridges leading to Havana. Over lo,K)U baios of tobacco are stored in Kemedios and Santa. Clara, but the insurgents prohibit thenremoval.

From El Pueblo, Gyo Colorado, '30 leading men joined the insurgents alter being enlisted and equipped as bpanish volunteers. They are going out Tuesday under Ailred idolada. From Alquiz, Thursday jught, 4o men joined the insurgents. This is 40 miles Irom Havana.

In the city of Matanzas the houses of prominent citizens were searched for arms unsuccessfully. Colonel Jose Lacrete has burned Encruiada, which is near Sagua La Grande, and destroyed the railway station and tracks. The large plantation in Cienfuegos of Marquis Apistiguia, a Cuban, who affiliated with the Spanish, was entirely burned by the insurgents Monday. He offered ammunition and money to save his property, but without avail.

General Mello, with a Spanish detachment left Guento Principe on Sept. 19 for Santiago province. Nothing has been heard from him since and fears that the whole detachment had been lost are entertained.

The storm and rains ruined newly planted tobacco. The authorities are taxing the merchants of Havana by subscriptions for large amounts to aid in the purchase of new warships.

INSURGENTS HAVE A GOVERNMENT.

The United States Will lie the First Country Asked For Recognition. BOSTON, Oct. 7.—In view of the recent announcement of the organization of a provisional government in Cuba, The Standard has secured an interview with Mr. J. V. Fuentes, president of the Cuban club of Boston. Mr. Fuentes said: "The revolutionists have formed a government and are now perfecting it before sending out agents to the various countries to secure recognition. "The first country that we shall apply to is the United States. We care more for recognition from this country than any other. Let the United States recognize us and in a month things in Cuba will undergo a change that will surprise the world. Politically we belong to Spain, but in every other way we belong to the United States. We are fighting for liberty, and we will have it if we have to fight for years."

FIGHTING CONTINUES.

Several More Skirmishes Reported by the the Censorship l'ress. HAVANA. Oct. 7.—Lieutenant Cullen, in command of 40 troops, went in pursuit of a band of insurgents near Daiquiri, province of Santiago de Cuba, and was surrounded by 300 insurgents. Lieutenant Aleare, with a force of 20, went to his assistance, and the insurgents, thinking it was a large force, retreated, leaving two killed on the field. The troops lost four wounded.

At Guira Helena, in the province of Havana, the iusurgents raised a band of 20. A detachment of the civil guard lias gone in pursuit of them.

Advices Sent to Madrid.

MADRID, Oct. 7.—The government will send a fresh lot of generals to Cuba to enable Captain General De Campos to recommence operations against the insurgents on Nov. 15. 'Dispatches received here from Havana contradict the report of the loss of the cruiser Conde de Venadito, which was sent to El Heraldo of this city, on Saturday.

Havana advices also announce that a hurricane has ravaged the tobacco plantations in the province of Pinar del Rio, and 20 are reported killed and numbers of houses destroyed.

FLOOD DAMAGE IN CUBA.

Over a Hundred Lives Lost and Millions of l'roperty Destroyed. HAVANA, Oct. 7.—Word has been received hero that 45 more bodies have been recovered from the inundated district in Vuela Abajo, the damage from the flood and cyclone having now reached the dimensions of a great disaster. Many more persons, and in fact whole families aro missing, and as the floods subside and the district is gone overLy search parties, it is feared that the death list will bo greatly increased.

The money loss to tho railway company at this time is estimated to bo approximately |300,000. A commission of civil engineers has been sent to Artimisa to endeavor to devise a plan by which the perils to which these districts are now subject may be avoided in the future. The damage and loss to property in that region is impossible to calculate accurately, but it is believed that it rises into tho millions.

General Martinez de Campos has requested the government to issue extraordinary credit for tho purpose of aiding tho people of tho inundated district. He has also personally headed a
