OBITUARY. APPLE,
if Paul Merrell Apple, son of Alva and Sarah Apple was born October 6, 1894, and died October 29, 1895, age one year and twenty-three days.
The remains were conveyed to Center church Rush county, Ind., where the funeral servici were conducted by the Rev. J. B. Blount after which they were laid to rest in the cemetery near by. sfe His place is vacant around the family circle, his sweet prattling voice will be heard no more. It is very hard to part with our little ones to whom we have become so strongly attached, but the tender Shepherd will care for them for he has said "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Weep not dear parents for your loss is lis eternal gain. He is safely housed in the home above.
A light from our household is gong, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant In our home W£pi Which never can be filled.
And while we are left weeping And waiting in prayer, We will look toward heaven
And know thou art there.

The church choirs of Greenfield cow charge a fee of five dollars for singing at funerals. The next thing we hear from there they will be compelled to pay the niou ners for mourning. Oh, my but that is a swift town.—Knightstown Banner.
The above shows how a paragraph grows. The Hat cock Democrat last week said some of the church choirs now charge a fee of $5 for singing at funerals. The facts are that not a church choir in the city so charge. A quartette of singers of the city announced their intention of so charging. Some reporters elsewhere have made a great bugaboo over a matter they do not understand.
Senator Voorhees has written to Dr. Leech, of Crawfordsville, that ha can not go there to lecture soon on account of his duties at Washington.

Mitchell received a letter] from Henry Watterson, saying he could come in December, so that will probably be his date here. Gen. John B. Gordon could have been secured on the 21st of this month, but that is Wendling'sj date It takes $200 to secure ex-Senator John J. Ingalls and Talmage wants $500. Noted lecturers cone high.

A Tliiel Who Likes Bum and Tenderloin.
Some thief went to Jacob? Catt's farm Tuesday night, Nov. 12th, and killed a 200 pound hog. Instead of taking the whole hog he cat it }in two pieces and took the saddle which Includes the ham and tenderloin parts. That gthief is a "little too nice". Shoulders are certainly good enough for a common ordinary after night hog thief. The people should see that a thief who wastes good meat like that one did, should be caught at once and put in the penitentiary.
A Combination of Ice Men.
Word has been sent« forth from Anderson that fourteen of the artificial ice manufacturers of Indiana have entered into a combine and ^districted the state, each firm having its own territory and will not be molestecL'Cby the others. They will not adopt a scale of prices, but each manufacturer will have the right to fix prices in his district. The combine will meet in Alexandria early in February and perfect the trust. The people will be very foolish if they allow themselves to be done up by a little trust like that. If ice men are disposed to put the price of ice beyond a reasonable price the people could form a little trust and by all signing an agreement to patronize for two or three years a new ice factory, or a man who would ship ice in, the combination £ice man would be knocked silly and wish "he had not joined." The way to knock a trugt is to use another trust, a peoples trust, to beat it.
BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERS.
They Are Becoming Qnite Numerous
Friday night about 7 o'clock. Ja?. A. Eastes who lives Southeast of the city four miles, was stopped just below H. C. Rumrills, on the Fountaintown pike as be was walking home and robbed of $25.00. He said the man walked up, grabbed bis beard and demanded his money, which he of course refused. The man then jammed his hand in his pocket and securing the pocket book ran back to Greenfield, where he was followed by Mr. E. who describes the man as tall and slim. It is supposed the robber, who ever he was, saw Mr. Eastes with the money at McLaughlin's saloon where he was just before he started home. That thief ought to be captured.
Milt Willett, who lives east of Philadelphia, was at Indianapolis yesterday and sold a load of barley at the brewery. Last night at dark when he was at the bridge just east of Cumberland two men drove up in a buggy and one jumping out asked to ride with him. He recognized the man aa one who saw him get the money at Indianapolis, so he whipped his horses into a run and escaped, although the man gave him a good chase. The men had followed liim from the city for the purpose of robbery.
Foot pads seem to have abandoned tbe cities and gone to the country to rob peo pie. A man near Hagerstown was held up a few nights ago as he was returning from his day's work. He had received $1.10 f«r his day's work—husking corn. The thieves took this money, and on bis saying it looked like !•.• wi- i.i ti rd luck, they said we are also in nard iiuk and will have to take it.
Funeral of Thomas G. Short at New Palestine Sunday.
The funeral of Thomas G. Short at New Palestine Sunday was the largest which ever occured at that place. Long before the hour for the services, 1:30 p. m., the street in front of the residence was lined with people who came to pay their last respects to their fellow townsman. Tom Short was one of New Palestine's best known business men, and was held in tbe highest esteem by all his acquaintances. He will probably be missed more in New Palestine than any other one man. He was connected with all movements which went -toward bettering the condition of his town, and was always at the head of all business enterprises. He belonged to three lodges—the Masonic, of .which he was Master, the Odd Fellows and the K. of P., the latter lodge conducting the services at the grave. His funeral services were conducted by Rev. at the M. E. ihurch. The
house was crowded and hundreds of people were compelled to stand on the outside. His remains were laid to rest at the grave yard south of town, and was followed there by a procession a mile long composed of his friends and members of the three different orders. The services at the grave by the lodge were very impressive. Thus ends the life] of one of New^Palestine's most beloved citizens, whose place will be hard to fill in that town.
It May Do as Mnch For Ion. Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes that he had a severe kidney trouble for many yean, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began the use of Electric Bitters and foand relief at onoe.
