Mr. Oler was at her bedside at hr death and remained for the funeral. Huntington Democrat. Some scoundrel cut two of John Slife's cows the other day in a horrible manner. It seems a lot of cattle owned by various farmers in Jefferson got into and destroyed a field of corn on the Veach farm.

Is a dirtier, mea ier-looking or worse located depot along the tvhoi line or the many divisions of the Big Four than the Marlon depot we don't know where It Is.

One night last week, as reported by some Carrolltonians aboard one of the boats, a drummer belonging to the presbyterlan church proposed to the passengers to have a prayer meeting. The officers of the boat were consuited and, no objection being offered, the affair was soon arranged and a pleasant and profitable hour Fpent, many taking part. Dancing and card playing have heretofore been the means of whiling the hours away while traveling. Carrollton Democrat Grape thieves at Waynetown have developed ingenuity In the burglary line, and some of their contrivances for stealing grapes, without entering the arbors, would tprove benencial to growers if patented and put into general use for legltiment purposes. One boy, more skilled than the rest, made a grape picking machine that would clip and gather the fruit at a distance cf several feet from the fence, and all th? genius had to do was to reach through an opening and fill his pockets without the trouble of breaking locks or removin? boards. Newspaper borrowers are a great annoyance to publishers and subscribers. It Is a frequent thing for the Democrat subscripts to step their paper a short time to freeze out borrowers, and with the hope that thoir borrowing neighbors may subscribe and In this way get free of such annoyance. In some cases these borrowers grab the paper before the subscriber gets a chance to read it. and in some instances retain It, when the publisher and carrier are condemned because the subscriber thinks they arc derelict in their duty. Noblesville Democrat. M. E. Meader Is the possessor of a chameleon and he had considerable sport with the harmless little reptile yesterday. The animal attaches Itself to anything upon which it is placed and Mr. Meader wore it on the lapel of his coat. A tiny gold chain encircles Its neck and Is attached to a pin at the other end. People unacquainted with the chameleon thought It a rubber ornament and great was the surprise manifested when it was dislodged and commenced to scrambl about. The animal changes Its color to correspond with that of the substance upon which it rests. Goshen Times. Saturdas evening a sad death occurred on our streets. Charles Cappel, son of Henry Cappel and wife, who live on Conwell-st., with a number of companions was standing on the corner of Cen-tral-ave. and Seventh-st., when a footrace to warm thtm up, as the evening was cool, was proposed by one of their number, and they were off as fast as their feet could carry them. They ran as far as Eighth-st., when the Cappel boy staggered across the street and fell near a tree In front of Mrs. Lafayette Conwell's residence. On examination his companions found he was dead. Connersvllle Examiner. The Elkhart Review relates an Instance of a man who lost his head when suddenly awakened at night by the alarm of fire. That paper states that "Mr. Charles Huff had gone to bed In his house and when the ?lre started from the explosion of a gasoline stove climbed out through a window and ran In his night shirt to the nearest box at the Hydraulic hose house to turn in an alarm. He fell down and was considerably hurt about the legs. He speaks in high praise of Foreman Smith, who he says Is cool headed and takes pains that nothing shall be unnecessarily desstroyed or damaged by water." Speaking of small-pox reminds us that a thousand rumors are afloat about small-pox in Winchester, and when one goes away from here he can hear that Winchester has at least a dozen cases of the dread disease. These reports are all false. There Is no small-pox here, nor are there any symptoms of any. Some of our people were exposed to It more than a month ago, but it was evidently not In a contagious state and all danger is past. If Winchester has small-pox we will tell you about it. but don't allow any rumors to keep you away from town. There is no danger now. Winchester Herald. Police Judge Hamilton Is mortally afraid of small-pox and uses a hundred and one precautions. For several mornings past he has disappeared immediately after a short session of court is held, and never shows up until the next morning. He will not mingle with the officers and hl3 actions to prevent coming In contact with any of the blue coats provokes great merriment. Now it is hardly possible for the Judge to contract the disease, according to the following assertion made by a man this morning: "A high bred small-pox germ would be ashamed to greet the Judge." Muncle Herald. A large family reunion was held Sunday at the home of Mrs. Eva M. Haag, Greendale, In which 100 members of the following families participated: Nicholas Fox. John Fox, Gus Kestner, John. Koch. Leonard Haag, Lester Jackson, the Kyle and Probst families and others. Including children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. A grand feaat was spread, affording pleasure to the multitude for three and one-half hours. Grandmother Haag was surprised with many gifts, especially a large sum of money placed, under her plate by the grandchildren. Lester Jackson was the originator of the happy event Lawrenceburg Register. A correspondent of the Ft. Wayne Sentinel sent the following to that paper: "I am willing to stake my reputation as a public man if the worst cases of small-pox cannot be cured In three dtys simply by cream of tartar. This la the sure and never-failing remedy: One ounce cream of tartar dissolved in a pint of boiling water, to be drank when cold, at intervals. It can be taken at any time nad is a preventive as well as a curative. It Is known to have cured In 100.000 cases without a failure. I have myself restored hundreds by this means. It never leaves a mark, never causes blindness and prevents tedious lingering." Cor. of Liverpool Mercury. Two chickens belonging to Messrs. Brisbane and Pfeifer, who reside near ihe water station at the Seventh-st. epot, have been attracting the attention of railroad men for the past ten days. When the 2:45 p. m. world's fair trains halt for water the chickens are on hand to pick the dead grasshoppers from the pilot and brakebeams. The other trains, the boys say, do not travel fast enough to catch a hopper. Mr. Brisbane's chicken, a tall white fellow, lingered too long under the engine a day or two ago and had part of his head and one wing cut off. The other attends the trains regularly for his feast of grasshoppers. Columbus Times. The school authorities of Carbon are having rather an interesting experience. Early in the spring the school trustees errjPloyed Miss Jennie Grady to teach In the public schools the present year. A month or so later she failed to make license In the regular examination. The school board meantime had been reorganized, and when Miss Grady failed to make license the new board contracted with Miss Lizzie West to teach the school. At a later examination Miss Grady secured license. As a result both ladles are now engaged In teaching In the same room, good-naturedly dividing the time, while the school board Is In very hot water and at sea as to what course to pursue. Clay City Sentinel. Thursday Judge Dalley departed .for Indianapolis to assume his duties a supreme court Judge. He has always been highly respected, by the Welia county bar and the citizens of the county in general, and before his departure, last evening in the circuit court room, the bar met to piy him its bet wishes in his future duties.

He has long been the editor and proprietor of The Dallas Intelligencer. The general is one of the most prominent men in his state. He was a class-mate In college of Stanley Matthews, supported O. P. Morton for president in 1876, and is a noted orator. In the campaign of 1376 he spoke In this city in company with Godlove S. Orth and Gen. Thomas M. Browne. He is a remarkable man, both in experience and appearance. His long, gray hair, parte! over his massive forehead, floats out from his broad sombrero and rests on his shoulders. Richmond Palladium. It was along last April that Lawson Scott got funny and struck Jennie, his. wife, with a stick of stove wood simply because she hadn't chopped it fine enough to suit his fine-haired tastes. He also cursed and abused her until she had nervous prostration and was in the collapsed condition of a pocket book that has gone up against the Midway Plaisance. He called her a chippy and other endearing names and made life as miserable for her as the career of a foot ball player on a losing team. She received her divorce and went forth with a smile which extended "from Maine to California and from where Niagara's thunders roll to the great south gate." She smiled all over and back again.

"Moot" Blob, a young man employed at the wharfboat, met with a narrow escape from drowning. He was awakened about 2 o'clock one night last week by the noise of what he supposed to be an approaching steamboat. Hastily arising from his bunk on the upper deck he went cut and discovered that the up-bound steamer had only whistled for Aurora, He then sat down on the outer guard rail and was soon fast asleep. He did not realize his perilous position until some time after when he discovered that he was falling he knew not where until his body struck the water, and he opened his eyes to find that he had fallen from the wharfboat into the river.

Word has been received here of the death of James K. Polk Armstrong, which occurred at his horn? in Rosedale, Parke county, at 7 o'clock Saturday evening. Mr. Armstrong was one of the pioneer citizens of Parke county, having lived within Its boundary lines for years prior to the war. He was sixty-seven years of age and during the last ten years of his life was afflicted with rheumatism. His ailment of flesh coupled with the infirmities of old age rendered him almost helpless and his death was no surprise to those who knew him best of later years. During the early part of the first Cleveland administration Mr. Armstrong held a clerical position under Thomas Hani on. His term as a government employ ended when Mr. Hanlon surrendered the coliectorship for want of confirmation. Later he was appointed postmaster at Rosedale, In which position he gave universal satisfaction. Terre Haute Express. A religious parliament was held near this city. In Warren county, a few days ago, says the Attica Ledger, that differed from the one in session at Chicago only in Its vlgorou.i termination. There wa3 plenty of warmth In the discussion from start to finish, but when one man remarked that "anybody who belongs to church Is an Idiot," the thermometer rose ten notches. "Do you mean that?" inquired the upholder of orthodoxy. "You betcher life I do," warmly responded Hob Ingersoll's pupil. "Well. you pull your coat off and get right out here In the road and we'll settle it," was the pressing Itvltatlon of the defender of theology. It was nulekly accepted, and WfT bang went the blows. It took exactly two short rounds to vindicate religion and place the "idiot" portion of church membership right before the world. While the form of the disciple of Tom Paine lay prostrate In the dust, a neighbor happened along and Inquired the cause of the trouble, and this was the reply that came from the brave defender of the church: ".Well, you see, he

r? 'VOX denounced religion, and further'n that he said right out that anybody that belonged to church was an idiot, an I wouldn't stand that talk because because my mother belongs to church and I don't 'low nobody to call her an idiot!" The great Ferris wheel at Chicago recalls to the memory of old Clark county residents the original wheel after which the Ferris wheel probably is modeled, and which was the invention of an Indlanian. Jerry Gordon, a native of York state, and a resident of Monroe township, during the war Invented and built an enormous wooden wheel, almost exactly like the Ferris wheel. It was furnished with cars in which passengers were seated and went up to the height of sixty feet or more. The wheel was set up between two full grown trees and it seated thirty people. It was worked by cranks and gears, and was taken to a number of county fairs and picnics, notably at Madison. Gordon's wheel was at Wilson Switch picnic July 4, 1S64, where two people fell out of the cars and were dangerously injured. This hurt the popularity of the wheel and it never afterward was much ratronized. Gordon, however, made considerable money out of it previous to the accident. Mary Frame Selby thinks of starting a modern Garden of Eden up somewhere near East Germantown. This suggests something: We suppose that Mrs. S?lby would play the part of Eve. In that event the serpent part of the drama would be virtually done away with, for there's no snake on earth reckless enough to tackle her. And then, supposing a serpent could be found sufficiently rash for the act, the temptation surely could not bo made to go farther and Influence any modern Adam possessed of good common sense. There are also other things In the way, Mary. The climate of Indiana won't grow the kind of fruit that grew In Eden, No, after thinking it over seriously, we don't think it can be done. And besides, Mary, you speak of keeping the serpent out. Remember, Mary, that Germantown is near Cambridge City, and "nothing nor nobody" within two miles of that place is snake-proof. No, Mary, let's not start Eden up there. It won't work. Richmond Telegram. Middlesbury seems to be infested with desperadoes who invite a dose of cold lead. Several times of late stores have been entered and good taken and unsuccessful attempts made to burglarize buildings. J. D. Rex went to Join the Cherokee strip boomers, leaving Mrs. Rex at home, but a young man slept in the house as protection.

A couple dozen shots ' were fired In all, but unfortunately Harvey's marksmanship was bad andthe intruders escaped. The prowlers were around the next night, but without results excepting an exchange of pistol shotB. Goshen News. George Elliott, a Pan-Handle freight brakeman, whose home Is In Indianapolis, was taken to St. Stephen's hospital Saturday night about 10 o'clock, having had his left foot crushed Into an almost shapeless mass. As the train was nearing the city he. In response to the signal, attempted to "down brakes" when the rod broke and he was thrown from the top of the car, alighting in such manner that his left foot was on the track, and two cars and the caboose passed over it, crushing bone and flesh into a pulp and rendering Immediate amputation necessary. There is one version of the story of his injury that Is pretty well substantiated, and that is thrilling Indeed. Train No. 83, east-bound, was the one from which he was thrown, and the hands on that trian knew nothing of the accident. A west-bound freight was due In a few minutes, and after the lapse of that time, which seemed ages of agony to the mangled man. the train came along. Lighting a match, he set his handkerchief on tire and threw it, blazing, upon the track. The train slowed down until the rear brakeman was enabled to hear Elliott's voice. He was then rescued. Richmond Telegram. A man has been over from Indianapolis trying to obtain some of the state school funds from the township trustees and city school authorities. He called upon Trustee Hartman and demanded that $1.125 be turned back into the state treasury, claiming that that much of the state funds for school purposes had not beenexpended of the amount received. Mr. Hartman received $7.000 and expended over $12,000 and holds that the state funds was expended first before the county revenue was touched, therefore there are really no state funds that were not expended. The man says that Green Smith has ruled that expenses must be taken pro rata from all the funds on hand, and if this holds good many trustees in the state will be obliged to hand over some of the state funds. Heretofore the amount received from the state has been calculated upon to run the schools for a certain time, and the county common school fund assessment made to secure funds to carry on the schools the required time. Our city school trustees are also asked to hand over $3,110. Mr. Hartman has refused to comply with the request, and the city trustees have not determined upon what to do. The collector gets 12H per cent, of all his collections. Crawfordsvllle Journal.

She testified that Smith had received a call to go forth for the redemption of souls, a vision having come to him In the form of an angel, who advised him to take Mrs. Helms along as a co-worker, and she Intimated to the court that if the divorce was granted Mr. Smith and herself would be married, and they would double-team In evangelizing labor.

Special. The murder case of Mrs. Jennie. Boone came up In circuit court today. She is charged with the killing of Martin Rears at Cambridge City last July. The case will consume the entire week and Is attracting much attention. The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. Boone in Cambridge City. Martin Rears, In company with several other young men called at her home soon after midnight and made a vain endeavor to gain admission by knocking at the door. Mrs. Boorie, so sh stated, was at the time lying on the floor with her children. The continued rapping brought no one to open the door and It was finally broken in. Three shots were fired at the little throng at the open door, one. taking effect, Rears being struck In the temple and he died almost Instantly. Mrs. Boone has stated that she lay upon the floor at the time the shots were fired. The body of Rears lay upon the ground In the Boone yard until morning when Coroner Bulla, the first county official to arrive upon the scene, ordered it removed. The coroner arrested Mrs. Boone himself in the absence of Sheriff Ogborn, who went over later In the day and returned with the woman, who seemed but little worried over the act committed or the possible fate in store for her. The grand jury at the recent session charged Mrs. Boone with murder in the first degree, a finding that caused universal surprise to those who were familiar with the case. Since being placed In the county Jail Mrs. Boone has ever maintained the indifference characteristic of the hardened criminal, yet by her general demeanor and in her conversation one is possessed of a different idea of the woman. An Item reporter talked to Sheriff Ogborn about Mrs. Boone this morning and he said: "Mrs. Boone has made a model prisoner in every sense of the word. She has appreciated anything done for her, and took every opportunity to show such feeling. For several weeks past she has made herself very serviceable about the Jail, washing dishes, etc., though of course under surveillance at all times." TUB VALPARAISO AFFAIR. l)r. J. M.

Ind., arrived here and was taken j to Arnold's undertaking establishment, where he viewed the remains of Frank E. Robinson, the dead robber, identifying him as his son. The old gentleman, who Is past sixty years of age, was completely overcome with grief. He was afterward taken to the county jail by Sheriff Stoddard and Robinson, alias Moody, was brought Into the room. Their meeting was very cool, neither showing they were more than mere acquaintances. The father refused to acknowledge that Claire was his son. After considering the matter young Robinson confessed that the dead man was his brother, saying that It would come out any way and it would be better for him to own to it, and the reason he assumed the name of Moody was that his mother would never know anything about it. In an interview Dr. Robinson stated that he did not know what Induced the boys to commit the att. He said he received a letir from Frank a few days ago dated ai Chicago saying that he was coming- here to school and that Claire had been traveling for a Cincinnati firm for some time, and that he did not know he was here with Frank. Claire Robinson talked more freely today, saying that they needed money end had to have it. and thought they could get enough from the safe to last them several years and get away without any difficulty, but the sudden appearance of Miss Jones and her knocking the revolver from Frank's hand caused them to lose their heads, ana seeing their plans

It is anions' the follies of which the manufacturers of many proprietary remedies are guilty, to term their medicines "panaceas," or to claim for them the quality of panaceas. There is no sach thing as a. panacea," which means a remedy adapted to all diseases. This absurdity has never hen perpet rated by the proprietors of llostetter's Stomach Bitters. But they do claim, and with justice, that It Is a remedy of general utility, and this because it restores that regular and vigorous condition of the etomach, liver and bowels whica conduce to the recovery of general health. Thus it fortifies the system against malaria by Infusing stamina, and causing harmonious action of the orgnns which, as long as they fro right, are the best guaranty against an endemic malady like chills and fever. It accomplishes a double purpose by stimulating activity of the kidneys, since It not only prevents their disease and decay, but expels from the Moot throiiKh them Impurities that cause rheumatism, gout and dropsy. Use. It with confidence. AXOl'CEMET. SOMETHING PRACTICAL THE IM proved Daisy Fence Machine and th New Daisy Wire Reel. Address Zlepler & Harmon. Anderson, Ind. 13 ) Ill'SIXESS OI'PORTl'MTV.
