A WESTERN journal says: "The wool «crop of Montana in 1893 was 14,375,000 •pounds and sheep sold readily at from $5 to $6 per head. To-day they can be bought for $1 per head." Paste this fact in your hat and read it to free-wool advocates.

THE country's net exports of gold in 1894 amountd to a little over :81,OOO,O0O. This was the heaviest loss ot the metal sustained by the United States in a single -ypar. Thus far in 1895, however, the ?o'd exports have been greater than they xwere in the same time iu 1894.

THE Nebraska sufferers are now said amply provided for in the way of food and clothing to keep them warm. The American people are a generous, big be^iled, whole souled people uhen it ... comfs to taking care of the suffering and those in need. Greenfield did not come to the front this time, tiniply because no one started the movement.

MEXICO declines with thanks the prooffered mediation of the United States between that country and Guatemala. This is another rebuff for Cleveland and Gresham. We should think they would quit offering to mediate. They have made such an everlasting failure to man age affairs in this country that their services are not in demand.

SATURDAY the Colorado HGuse of Representatives passed a bill raising the age of consent for girls from sixteen to twentyone years. The bill was introduced and successfully carried throu by Mrs. Holly, "Pueblo's representative. The Indiana legislature should change our law which has disgraced the State so long from twelve years to eighteen years at any rate, and If possible twenty-one years.

JUDGE David S. Gooding says that the ^Republicans owe Cleveland a debt of -gratitude and should nominate him for ^he presidency. The Judge says no Republican has ever injured or broken up the Democratic party as Cleveland has, as be is in favor of turning the county ^.•arer, bag and baggage to the bondholders "she usurers, the money sharks, the bloodsuckers, the Rothchilds, Ikleheimers et al.

ONE great trouble with the people of '-'3iis country is they are great on the enforcement of the law in general, but de. cidediy opposed to it, being enforced in particular instances. When it lays its

Jhantfs on our friends, neighbors or rela«tives.we do all in our power to excuse and ..shield them from a just punishment, which is but natural, but that very fact enables so large a number to escape the penalties for crime that it encourages ^hein and others to continue in a lawless course. The enforcement of law should be as certain as death and then we would have a much better state of affairs.

THE people over the State are holding large mass meetings and generally indorsing the Nicholson bill on the saloon question. It practically gives local option, removes screens on holidays, Sun---days and during hours when saloons are not open on other days, removes billiard ./tables and all chairs so that the sa Om will not be made a loafing place and makes it easier to enforce the law. We believe the law would be a good one

Some law should be passed that would -call a halt on the big liquor business which is carried on by some drug stores*

Drug store drinking is productive of as much, if not more harm than the saloons .in country towns and county seats ^throughout Indiana. Let a good drug store law be passed so that those breakzing the law could be detected and punshed.

THE duty of the Republican party in .. Indiana is apparant. The declarations of its platform were comprehensible. Now is the time for action. The people's work was not completed on election day. Let 'them now by resolutions, petitions and delegations, if necessary inform, encourage, strengthen and aid their representatives in serving their constituency. Those ,J persons who sit indifferently now should be stopped forever, from criticising our present legislature in the future. Let the press diligently reflect the desires and opinions of the people. The great mass of the Republican party desire that the ^legislature honestly carry out the last

State Republican platform. The legislat. tnre should remember that it is easy to vote money uselessly, but it is hard for people to pay and a day of wrath will appear for all those who are unmindful -afxthe people's interest.

Grand Jurors.

The following named gentlemen will compose the next grand jury, which con•t. venes next Monday: Robert Henley, &»Backcreek. E. E. Beckley, James E. r&Sradley, Taylor Morford, Center Charles vf.'l^sBills, James Wisehart, Vernon.

So I would respectfully submit the following testimonial: Sioux CITY, Jan. 26, 1895.

To whom it may concern:—Mr. W. B, Cuyler has been in my employ for the past eighteen months, during which time I received prizes on photographs made by him and exhibited at the National Photographers' Convention held in St. Louis, also first premiums at the Inter State Fair, held in Sioux City. I also take pleasure in recommending him as thoroughly houest and reliable, as well as competent in all branches of the business.

The music was furnished during the entire evening by Montani Bros., from Indianapolis and it was indeed a delightful feature, us they furnish the sweetest music of any orchestra, according to Greenfields taste. The guests from abroad were Lieut. S. V. Ham, of the U. S. A., at Fort Huachuca, Arizona in whose honor the party was given and Miss Blanche Brown, of Indianapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Thayer are to be congratulated on giving one of the handsomest and most delightful parties ever given in Greenfield.

A Delightful Party.

Last evening Major E. P. Thayer, Jr., and wife entertained about fifty of their friends at a progressive euchre party. Their residence on West Main street has just lately been refitted and refurnished quite elaborately, and they chose to dedicate it with a charming party. The house was brilliantly illuminated and beautifully decorated, smilax, pot plants and cut flowers being distributed in the various rooms in an artistic manner. The house made a splendid appearance from without, but within it certainly was very beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Thayer were assisted in receiving the guests by their little son George and Master Will Wells. At 8:30 the euchre playing began, and lasted for three hours. The gentleman's prize, the handsomest deck of cards in the city, was won by Asa M. New, with fifteen games. A. P. Conkling was a close second with fourteen. The booby prize, a big Indian Ciub painted to look like a catsup bottle, was won by John F. Mitchell. He and Lieut. S. V. Ham tied with three games, but he won in the cut. The ladies' prize, a very pretty perfumery bottle and sprayer, was won by Miss Ella Marsh, with thirteen games. Mrs. A. J. Smith and Mrs. J. M. Kaley were next with twelve each. Mrs. Dr. E. B. Howard received the ladies' booby prize, a box of bon bona. After dainty and choice refreshments were served, the rooms were cleared and dancing indulged in with waltzes, parlor quadrilles, two steps, etc., until 2 a. m.

MRS. VIOLA BROWN WANTS 85,000

from Mrs. OusHie Walker For Alienating the Affections of Her Husband.

Saturday, Mrs. Viola Brown brought suit for $5000 in the Hancock Circuit Court against Mrs. Gussie Walker, charging her with alienating the affections of her husband, Wm. H. Brown. Mrs. Walker is a fine looking young woman, and married her present, husband, Wm. C. Walker about a year ago. As an inducement to marry him, Mrs. Walker was deeded 115 acres of Hancock county's fine farm land. She recently disposed of this land for $35 an acre, which is about one half the value. She has the proceeds of the sale, $3000 on deposit with the Greenfield Banking Company, and Judge Offutt has granted a temporary injunction restraining the bank from paying the money out pending the decision of the damage suit. Mrs. Walker's maiden name was Gussie Wachstetter and her parents live in Lapel Ind. Testimony of a sensational character is expected during the trial which commences the first of next week.

For fresh bread, pies, cakes, candles, oysters in al styles, or warm meals, call at Harry Regula's bakery, on West Main street. 36tf

GUSSIE ATTEMPTS TO FLY

BUT H£B WINGS ARK "CLIPPED" BY CONSTABLE PATTERSON.

Who Arrests Her on the Eve of Departure —Gussie Walker Wanted on Charge Prefcred by her Husband.

BROWN-WALKER SUIT COMPROMISED

By Mrs. Walker Paying S500 Damages— Her Bail Was Fixed at S5.000 on the Last Charge.

Today the suit of Mrs. Viola Brown against Gussie M. Walker for §5,000 damages for alienating tbe affections of her husband, Wm. H. Brown, was compromised by the defendant paying Mrs. Brown $400, and lier attorneys. Felt & Jackson, $100. Marsh & Cook were attorneys for Mrs. Walker. This being done the case was dismissed by written request of the plaintiff, and this also dissolved the injunction against the Greenfield Banking Co., paying Mrs. Walker the $3,000, which she had in said bank. She drew this money, settled the Brown case and prepared to leave Greenfield, but as appears later she failed iu her purpose.

This morning Wm. C. Walker through his attorneys, R. A. Black and Poulson & McBane, began working on the papers to secure a divorce from his wife, Gussie M. Walker and also to enjoin her from disposing of the $3000 which sbe drew from the Greenfield Bank to-day. They were filed this afternoon. 'Ihe complaint charges Mrs. Walker with adultery with Joseph Richardson, Wm. Brown and divers other persons at times and places unknown to said plaintiff. He further recites the fact that previous to his marriage with her March 16, 1894, that he entered into an ante nuptial contract whereby he promised to give her 116 acres of land for considerations as follows: The defendant promised and agreed to marry the plaintiff, to treat him well, live with him as a true and faithful wife, and care for him so long as he might live and that in case of default or failure on her part to comply with the terms of said contract, then and iu such case said contract should become null and void and the defendant should have no lot or part of the estaie of said plaintiff. A copy of said anu-uuptial contract was not filed with the complaint as it was held by the

deiendaut.

The complaint

further averred that tfce plaintiff did deed said 116 acres of land to the defendant, according to the ante-nuptial agreement and that recently, while he still believed her true and faithful, she over persuaded him, on account of his feeble condition of mind, and induced him to join her in a deed whereby she sold the 116 acres of land to Wm. Dudding for $3,350 cash. This money was deposited in the Greenfield Bank and drawn out as stated above. An injunction was prayed for to keep the defendant from squandering the above money, but as Judge Offutt is at Danville, it could not be obtained. As it was known Mrs. Walker was about to depart from the city, an affidavit in

4tNe-Exeat"

was

filed that she was leaving with money that of right belonged to Mr. Walker a bond for damages was given and the defendent was arrested by Constable Jeff C. Patterson at th® depot, as she was about to board the 2:27 train for the west. She had her little seven year old girl with her. She had just sent a dispatch and after her arrest and failure to go, she asked to be allowed to send another one.

After'going to her home for a few minutes, she was taken to the sheriff's office in the Court House and turned over to Sheriff W. H. Pauley, under a requirement to give bond for $5,000, which up to the hour of going to press has not been given. Mrs. Walker's attorneys are Marsh & Cook. "Mistakes are apt to happeD in the be»t of families," And the strictest folks forget their punctualities. 'Tis a good old rhyme to square yourself, To set a fellow right. "Mistakes are apt 10 happen in the best of families."

DIVIDED EVEN.

The Walker Case Compromised.

As detailed yesterday, Mrs. Gussie Walker was arrested yesterday just as she was getting ready to board the 2:30 train, and taken to Sheriff Pauley's 'office, together with the $2,500 which she had and was attempting to get away with. Not being able to give $5,000 bond and await trial, she concluded to compromise, and the lawyers and among them astreed that Mr. W. C. Walker take $1,250 and Mrs. Walker retain $1,250 and each settle with their attorneys. This was done, and we are not informed as to the exact amount that each saved out of the wreck, but it is enough to say that Mr. Walker claimed to have but $600 left to show for a fine 116 acre farm. Mrs. Walker left this morning on the 8:08 train for Indianapolis.

It would be a good idea if the jurors, who, a few months ago decided that Mr. Walker WM capable of tending to his own business, could come in now and view the wreck—the work of their hands.

Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welsh ton, Flordia, says he cnred a case of diarrhoea of long standing in six hours with one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief. It can always be depended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by M. C. Quigley. Druggist.
