Anew supply of non union glass blowers arrived last night work in the bottle factory. The men who came first are on a strike for higlu wages, but are not liable to get them is the supply of non-union blowers seems to be inexhaustable.

WANT TO BACK. OUT

Such ts tbe Stnte ef Mind of InrestprB in the German Coach Horae. This winter W H. Ripple representing Singmaster & Ward, Keota, Iowa, importers and breeders of fine horses came to thi9 city with a fine imported German Coach Stallion. Siuce then he has been soliciting fanners and others to invest in the horse taking shares at $ 100 each, the horse as we understand being valued at $2500. He secured the signatures of several gentlemen around Greenfield, some near Philadelphia and others at New Palestine for stock. A number of them have, however, signed an arcticle aud present, to Mr. Ripple asking that their names be stricken off, as they do not de" sire a stock on the above terms. Their names, however, do not come off easily and there may be a law suit.

Grand Jury Experiences.

The grand jury have had a number of amusing experiences during their esent session. Tney sent for one man from Vernon Tp., Rafe Copper, who was so drunk when he reached Greenfield he could hardly get out of the buggy. The Jury briliff went down and helped him up to tbe jury room. He, however, was too drunk to tell anything, but he persistently insisted tha he had not touched a drop ti a'. day. He w-is rent to jail uutil he sobered up and his memory grew better. It had the desired effect.

Fred Dillraan a voting min from Mt. Comfort, did the jury up in good style. Upou btriug questioned by foreman A. H. Kmnaman t. tie usual way he feigned i^uoratice, looked blankly at the jurymen wrote uu a tablet, "I cannot talk." He was thoroughly plied with questions but he m-'ducained his st did demeanor, tittered a fev iu t-ial rounds and continued to write, "I cannot talk." He secured tb? symp i.liy of the jury and was dismissed with many expre sious ot' condolence He will o-t ,ibl

r.alk when he

appears next. time. One can get talk enough, ho-vever, if he only writes to of grand jtirjmen, especially foreman Kituiaina cuinoi

V/id lU'cvfs Sprains His

Monday at 4:45 p. Clint Marvins and Will Ree es t.irted for Blackford county Where they are buikiiiiu derricks for drilliug oil wells. At New Castle Mr. Reaves arrived at the Lake Erie depot just as the train pulled out He was told he could catch the train as it stopped at a switch about a square away. He failed however to see a culvert near the depot and in running stepped through it fell and -ipr ined his right leg below the knee. He then to -k the S-nrh boun 1 traia for Cambridge city aud arrived home here at 10 Dr. tJruuer wis called and cared for the limb. A. O. Milier, M. T. Duncan and John Tindall who were on the Panhandle train looked after Mr. Reeves. W. L. Foxworthy. the Knightstown contractor hwl cared for hi non the L. E. & W. R.. Will showed a good deal of pluck and he had only just recovered from an attack of typhoid fever and was returning to his work. It was a severe strain, as somo of the ligaments were toru and he could not use his leg. Everyone, including Mr. Reeves, thought the leg was broken, until Dr. Bruner got hold of it.

Scrub Stock Boycotted.

During the recent low prices which have prevaled for horses farmers have realized thac scrub stock hns been the kind on which the most money has been lo-t. There is now no sale for scrub stock of any ki^d at living prices. The farmers of Montgomery couuty, have organized horse oreeder's associations in almost every township and provided themselves with two registered stallions ahackney and a shire and propose to raise only good colts. Buyers for eastern and foreign markets prefer full or half bred stock as they can realize good prices for such horses. It is not necessary, however, that these associations pay three or four times what a stallion is worth to secure one. They ca'i be bought at fair and reasonable prices. When a company or an individual pays a great big, fancy price for a horse the way times are, They are certain to lose money. Get your money's worth in the first purchase then raise good stock and you can make some money. Let scrub stock of all kinds be boycotted in Hancock county and our county will soon get a reputation for firfct class stock that will bring the highest price.

"An American Beauty" I-ast Night.

The above play was presented at the opera house last night by Frost 8c Fanshawe's excellent company. The play is written by Mr. A. L. Fanshawe who is both an actor and author.

Th« Telephone Exchange.

The Greenfield Telephone exchange ie proving quite a success. Tbe service has given good satisfaction from the start, fhere hare been occasional disturbances but the owner, Mr. Morrison has been disposed to bave all trouble* lemedied at once There are now 198 patrons which are all that can be accommodated.

The aspirants for presidential honors are kept very busy these days distributing the postoffices in the various states. They passed the foreign ministries around before Christmas.—Galveston News.

Politicians who think tbey have lariated several of the presidential booms and have them secured at their saddle horns may wake up and find it a delusion. The people have not yet dropped to the man. June is months away, and there is history yet to be recorded.—Chicago Inter Ocean,

RED HAIR.

Redheaded boys are smarter than most other boys and can carry a lot more freckles.

The hair that calls for a white horse is, of course, horse reddish. It goes with a tart temper too.

Red hair, when worn by young ladies, develops a good deal of electricity. You can't help noticing the sparks.

Redheaded girls would be nicer than other girls if it weren't for the faot that tbe other girls oare just as nice as girls can be.

The lover says, "In yonr sunny tresses, dear, the warm light loves to linger." The husband s» 4, "Bay, Bricktop, will you sew on this button?"

Red hair Is of great advantage to a pugilist. It denotes an oratorical temperament. Cicero was redheaded, or else be wasn't, one or the other.—'Mew York Recorder.

Michael Balton, aged 55, married, committed suicide at his home at North Vincennes, Ind., by shooting himself twice in the abdomen with a revolver. Business depression aud domestic troubles were tho causes.

Women and Peace.

Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, president of the General Federation of Women's Clnbs, has issued a circular letter to all the club presidents, asking them to bring forward the consideration of a peace movement in Europe and in this country. The ultimate hope is to have a convention of the Christian powers in 1900, with a view to establishing an international court of arbitration. Many of the club presidents have already acted in accordance with the letter.

Household Economics.

Mrs. Minerva B. Tobey of Boston is giving talks before the Women's club this winter on the work of the Household Economic association. As a result of her talk at Framingliam, Mass., some 30 ladies met and decided to form a branch of the New England association for the study of household economics. Mrs. E. M.
