TM the Circuit Court at Crawfordsville, tit® widow and four minor children of T&ociias Mikels, have brought suit against Sqtiire S. Heath, an Alamo druggist, asking $5,000 danages on account of the defendant selling liquor 10 Mikels. The complaint alleges that Mikels was a good hu3($&ud and provider when not drinking the defendant knew this, but continued to sell to him unlawfully when warned uot to do so, and in consequence of the potfionous liquor, Mikels was taken sick and. tied August 6. A good sized judgme&t for the plaintiff in a few cases like tbe «Move would have a tendency to i*estrfcti, if it did not stop the unlawful sale of liquor.

MAJOR Charles T. Doxey, of Andersan, is engaged in a multitude of business enterprises. He is building business blocks at Anderson and Alexandria, reorganizing the DePauw Plate GIHSS works at Alexandria and New Albiuy, leasicg oil and gas territory and putting down wells. He is not, however, losing sight of the fact that he wants the Republican nomination for Governor next year, and is going after it with bis accustomed vigor aud enterprise. A literary bureau is showing up the Major's good qualities iu glowing terms. His kindness and charities to the needy and his encouragement and employment of much labor at the best of wages is highly spoken of and is certainly commendable. The Major is a G. A. R. man, genial, a hustler and a splendid mixer, and all the candidates will understand that Major Doxey is in the race to win if possible. At home where he is well known he is especially strong

MANY people think the government manages its own finances, but hey are woefully mistaken, at least since Cleveland went in. The Chicago Inter Ocean had a fine cartoon illustrating that recently. It showed banker J. Pierpont Morgan on the U. S. government financial wagon with a firm grip on the lines, aud driving. Uncle Sam had hold of the ends of the lines, and like many a little boy, was fooled with the idea that he was driving, but the banker had sole charge, as he and the bond syndicate have the government by the throat. Cleveland was sitting on the rear seat to act as lackey boy for Lis master, Banker Morgan. It is a shame that the Cleveland administration is incapable of managing the financial affairs of the government and had to give a foreign bond syndicate $11,000,000 to manage things for them. The system netds changing in some way.

IK MEMORY OF JOHN L. "jIcSEW.

Resolutions o( The Members of The liar. GREENFIELD, IND., Aug. 13, 1895. Pursuant to a call previously issued, the members of the Hancock County Bar met at the couit-house at 10 o'clock a.m. Judge Charles G. Offutt was chosen chairman and Newton R. Spencer, secretary. Wm. F. McBane, Wm. Ward Cook, Edward W. Felt, Elmer J. Binford and Robert Williamson were selected as a committee to prepare and report resolutions upon the death of Hon. John L. McNew. Several members of the Bar being absent accompanying the remains of the deceased to Greenfield, an adjournment was taken until a full attendance could be had. At the appointed time the Bar met and the committee reported the following resolution: To the officers and members of the Hancock County Bar Association:

We, your committee heretofore appointed to draft resolutions commemorative of the life and death of John L. McNew, respectfully report *s follows:

John Lowell McNew, who departed this life on Monday, August 12th, 1895, at the home of his father in Henry county, Ind., was born in Henry county, Ind., on the 13th day of August, A. D., 1861, and at the time of his death was 34 years of age, lacking one day.

Mr. McNew was in every sense of the word a self-made man. After acquiring a good common school education, he attended tbe Spiceland Academy, and graduated with the honors of his class.

He followed the profession of teaching for a number ot years and was eminently successful. He studied law with Marsh & Cook, of this city, and was admitted to the HancockJRfir as a practicing attorney in 1888. In 1892 he opened a law office in the city of Greenfield, and in 1894 was elected to the office of Prosecuting Attorney of the 18th Judicial Circuit of Indiana, which office he held at the ime of his death. He served as Reading Clerk of the Senate during the session of 1895, and was employed as County Attorney of Hancock county in September, 1893, and served in that capacity until December, 1894, after he had entered upon his duties as Prosecuting Attorney. In the dis charge of the duties of the various positions which he held, his conduct was alwajs courteous and becoming, and he showed marked efficiency and ability.

On December 12th, 1894, he was married to Ada Blanche Braddock, a highly esteemed and accomplished lady of Hancock county. They immediately took up their residence in Greenfield and resided here until the time of his death. Their married life, though biief, was most agreeable and promised much happiness.

Mr. McNew was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in politics was a Democrat. He was a man of much learning, energy and ability, and had gaiued favorable recognition in his profession. Had he li7ed he would doubtless have become emiueut in the law.

Now that death has suddenly ended his promising career, as a mark of respect to his memory and as evidence of the high esteem in which we held him, we, the members of the Bar of the Hancock Circuit Co art and the officers of sail Court, do hereby adopt the following resolutions:

Resolved, that in the death of John L. McNew, this Bar has lost an esteemed, able and promising member, and the community an enterprising and worthy citizen, whose memory we will always cherish with the kindest remembrance.

Resolved, that we extend to the bereaved aud dutiful wife of the deceased, our sincere sympathy and condolence in this her greatest sorrow.

Resolved, that as a further mark of respect to the deceased, we will attend his funeral in a body.

Resolved, that a copy of this memorial and these resolutions be spread upon the Records of the Hancock Circuit CoUrt, and the papers of the city be and are hereby requested to publish tbe same, and that a copy of the same be given to the widow.
