KILLED BY WHITE MINERS. Negro Named Heneley Shot to Death at Linton. LINTON, Ind,, January X — During a quarrel between miners employed in one of the Island City mines near here, a negro named Hensley was particularly demonstrative, and he struck a white miner. This precipitated a general fight, in which Hensley was attacked by the white miners, and he held his own, wielding a knife, by which several persons were Injured. Then he withdrew to hie father’s home and armed himself, and, returning to the camp of the white men, the battle was renewed until he fell, riddled with builets. The authorities attempted an investigation, but made little headway, ihe sympathy of the community being with the whites because of the lawlessness of Hensley, who had heretofore figured in desperate affairs. His father is the only negro coal miner in that vicinity, and is much respected by the whites.

[Special to The Indianapolis New*.] TERRE HAUTE, Ind., January 2.-T writ of mandamus Issued by Judge Stithson, of the Superior Court, addressed to Bolton, the Democratic contestant for county treasurer, and who obtained possession of the office by a purported resignation of Treasurer Walsh, a few hours before the expiration of his'term, by appointment by the county commissioners, and who, with an armed guard, has been holding on since, is to be finally disposed of Saturday, on which day Bolton’s attorneys will file their answer. The writ was issued yesterday afternoon on petition of Clark, Republican, who holds the certificate of election to the office. Clark set forth that Bolton was illegally in possession, as the vacancy was not in fact created, and that the commissioners could not appoint him. Walsh tendered his resignation to the county commissioners, and the attorneys for Clark maintain that it should have been sent to the Governor, as the county treasurer is a State officer, and that on the Governor notifying the commissioners of the vacancy they would be called on to appoint a successor. It was also set forth in the petition that the action of the commissioners was in violation of the restraining order issued by Judge Stimson, on Monday, against interfering with tlje office. Both Sides on Guard. Pending the hearing on Saturday, Bolton and his friends are to spend their days and nights in the office, and Clark and his friends will be on guard in the county auditor’s office, to prevent Bolton getting possession of the tax duplicates for the ensuing year, which County Auditor Soules turned over to him. Bolton had asked for them after the commissioners putJUm in the office, but Soules would not give them up. If the litigation continues until the April tax-paying time, the taxpayers will not know what to do. Bolton will not have the books showing how much is due from each taxpayer, but it is said that, as taxpayers call on him he can go across the corridor to Clark’s office and, as a taxpayer, ask for information, and. receiving it, return to his own office and take the taxpayer’s money. This is only one of many com : plications which are seen In the future. County Auditor Louies is refusing to issue warrants on Bolton, and as yesterday was pay day for county employes, they are not able to get their money. It Is not known how much money Walsh turned^ over to Bolton. It is estimated that there^ is seldom less than $100,000 on hand. The office of county treasurer is said te be worth $30,000 for the two years’ term to the treasurer, which Includes his salary as county treasurer and the Interest on money he deposits in bank. When the city’s new charter goes into full effect this year the county treasurer also Mill act as city treasurer, for which he will get a salary from the city and the interest on deposits of the city's money.

Statistics Show the Past Year One of Great Prosperity. j [Special to The Indianapolis New*.] RICHMOND, Ind., January X—Statistic* compiled for the city of Richmond for the year just closed show that it was one of great prosperity. The city is growing, as. evidenced by the many jraprovements that have been made. Tho total of the building permits issued runs up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and In many cases the work is still going on, having been of a nature that required considerable time to complete. Hoi Ses for rent are very scarce and as quickly as new ones are built they are occupied .at good rentals and demand lor housts at a nominal rent is unabated, and on the increase. Richmond’s factoriej, with few exceptions, have been forced to add to their facilities for production, which in many cases has involved a large outlay for new buildings. Besides additions to established industries there have been several new factories located, and put into operation. What is still more indicative of the upward trend of business here, there is already In operation a new steam railroad (the C., R. & M.) and a new competing express company (the American) and the Richmond Street and Interurban Railway Company has rebuilt its lines and extended them to the west as far as Centerville, and in the spring will extend them to numerous other points.

There is no reason why. with a llttie precaution, ugder the present circumstances, there should be much general sickness here thig winter.' Our cltisena are anxious to see this 'become a more healthful community, and have taken steps to make thia end poeslble by a simple means which nhOuid appeal to everyone of our citizens. Sickness of moat kinds is caused by neglect of aome sort.. In summer fevers and malarias run rampant because of people’s neglect in cleaning their persons, houses, yards and alleys. Winter brings with it many'more serious diseases; consumption. catarrh, rheumatism and many others which, strange as it may seem, statisticians say are produced by some form of neglect. f Meat any disfkse, even those that prove the most disastrous, can be checked and prevented by the proper means taken in time. In Eastern cities the dally" press and medical Journal* for the past four or five year# have from time to time t*>ramented meat enthusiastically upon th# results obtained by th# medical f.atar* nity with a French preparation called ’’Blood WJna,” which was the outgrowth of the international medical congress held in Paris a few years ago, and represents the combined ideas of a large number of physician# and expert chemists This preparation has not been ah advertised article and few places have kept It. as It has always |been taken only upon a physician's preacription. Knowing that our readers would appreciate having within their reach a remedy that we have carefully Investigated and can recommend, we took step* to have “Blood Wine” placed on sale here, and th# Louis Daudfciin Company, of Worcester, Mass., the sole manufacturers in the United States, seht their agent to look over the ground and perfect final arrangements last week. Aa a result our druggists now have “Blood Win#’’ in stock and w# art sure If our reader# will give it a trial the results will be moet zatifectory and surprising. Ju#t this word of advice—tak# steps in time. If you feel a cold or a cough or disease of any kind coming on, check it in time. Get a bottle of this medicine; it will cost but 60 cents. Keep it In the pantry. YouTl find it as staple aa flour or sugar. It contains no injurious drug*

or opiates.
