John Fhrader pave a'waj- 5,000 loaves ot tread to the New Albany poor. Seventy-rive conversions was the reBult of the friends' revival which has just closed at Kokomo. "Who said the democratic party would not frame a tariff bill in line with its platfonrt? Franklin Democrat, Pass the tariff bill, and do It quickly. It's good straight democratic stuff, directly In the ir.ter-st of the whole people. Pulaski Democrat. James Yost, a Nickel-Plate brakeman, was so badly crushed while coupling: cars at Knox that h died .on the train taking him to Ft. Wayne. The new tariff bill is framed in . ihe interest of the jeople, not in the Interest of the trusts, the monopolies and the millionaires. Seymour Democrat. The new owners of the Bloomtield Democrat have assumed full management, with V. L. Stinkard In editorial control and Victor 11. Ilulnbolt business manager. The new tarifT bill is In accordance with the democratic platform adopted at the Chicago convention, and should become a law with as few chances as possible. Fortland Sun. Tiie nein-rtetl suielJe club in lake county Is probably a fake. It would be a Rood thins, however, if it were true find that the members also belonged to the Roby club. Now Albany Ledger. It is a Ions time between and 196. and in that tim- the republican tjugruboo of free trade will be riven a chance to show how far it is from the genuine democratic article of a tariff for revenue only. Liberty Review. At T?ri Igvpor.. Clark county, on the 30th ult., a mail sack was stolen from a crane on which it had been hung to be taken up by ji Monon train, and carried B';me distance and robbed -f its contents. The thief got several dollars in money. Congressman A. H. Taylor and Attorney Dillon pot into a. quarrel In the I'ike county court room and came near breaking up the court.

James Dant, aged ninety-four, an old citizen of Harr township, died Monday at his home whre he has lived about fixty years. He leaves a wife and eleven children, all living but one. He was a catholic in faith and a pod democrat in politics. Washington Democrat. Congressman Conn Intends to submit pome remarks on the tariff during the consideration of the Wilson bill. He will consider tbe measure from a business point of view rather than from th standpoint of a mere politician or a student of theoretical problems. South l'.end Times. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Mclaughlin of Bay City, Mich., are visiting relatives In this city. Mr. McLaughlin and his three partners in the lumber business recently purchased 100."0o acres of Florida timber land at $1.50 per acre, for which they have been offered $10 per acre. Washington Democrat. The new tariff bill ought to satisfy democrats with radical Ideas as to the correct thimr In tariffs. The committee on ways and meun-s has done Its work well. Democratic congressmen ought fo ppprove of that work by laboring earnestly for the passage of the measure. Jafayette Journal. They shoot chicken thieves In the back Up In Columbia City, Ind. 11. Robinson was found in 11. Spears's chicken coop Friday night. Spears discovered him and the thief started to run. He was commanded to halt, but only lncre-ed his Bieed. Spears fired two loads of sliot into him. He was pretty badly hurt, but not fatally. Drs. M. H. and Harry F.ounel have removed from the neck of Miss Tillie Majors at Jamestown the pistol ball fired Into her mouth by Oscar Darnall about six weeks ago. It had been giving her a great deal of pain and the wound refused to h-al. The ball was found on the left hide of her throat, and was badly battered. The new tariff bill will not injure manufactories. 1a t it b passed and the country will discover that American factories will go on and continue to be jTosperous. A few pet mubremm growths may have a temporary setback, but the general manufacturing industries of the country will thrive more than ever before. Franklin Democrat. The next congress should adopt th? ."Witaon tariff bill with a vehemence and fcwlftnetis aklr. to the rush of Niagara O'er its craggy and tempestuous base. Det congress act with a promptness commensurate with the radicaJism and excellence of tha measure, and the country will fwecp to prosperity on the vlngs of the morning. Seymour Journal. The cases brought against the republican officials of Rosedale by prohii and democrats to secure their omes. under the plea that the last election held there was not in all respects legal, lecause proper notice of the election haul not been given, have been withdrawn. The plaintiffs will settle the costs and the republicans will hold the öfflees. . The recent sudden death of VT. A. Ueane of the Goshen Democrat will recall to the mind of the older residents Of Elkhart county the similarity of the fate of his predecessor on that paper, Mr. Washington Earl, who fell In his own doorway while entering his home from down town, and, if we remember Tightly, never regained consciousness before death. Klkhrt Review. Friday evening tiie Hendricks club of TUchmond met to elect their offlrers for the ensuing year. .The meeting was largely attended.

After fooling with the Instrument fur a time he collects his pay and leaves, telling the family not to use the Instrument for a half day, as glue was used In making the repairs and It must have time to harden. At the end of a half day the Instrument Is found to be in the same condition as before It was fixed.

at Ihelr recent love feast at Indianapolis, the democratic party will meet them more than half way. The day of sham patriotism and peanut politics are over in this country and politicians, like other people, will henceforth be rated at what they are not at what they assume to be. White County Iemtcrat. Governor Matthews has appointed the Hon. James Gentry of Spencer county and David L. Hart of WarrlcK county, two representative farmers of ! their respective counties, to represent this congressional district at the world's agricultural congress which will meet In i Savannah. Ga., Dec. 12. No better seleci tlons could have been made, both being practical farmers and quite successful stock raisers. Oakland City Record. The free raw material which the Wilson bill provides for Is a complete answer to the charge so frequently made by republican papers that the democratic party is unfriendly to the factories of this country. It is very simple to see that by making raw material free that it certainly Is a great lxn to the factories and will Enable them to furnish cheaper g'xds to the people and at the same time to compete with the outside world. Jeffersonville News. ("J. W. Hill, formerly a merchant at Wadena, was found lat FrMay nrnning about one mile eat of bochiel frozen to death. He was seated in his buggy, his hat off. and his horse had fallen into a ditch and could not got up. In his pocket was found a half-pint bottle empty, receipts for house rent and J1.S0. He Is thought to have been soliciting In Hentern county pictures to enlarge. His body was taken to Fowler, where the inquest was held. A man who was a prosperous country merchant up to lfcf.7. then became a banker In a nourishing northern Indiana town, and in lVT'J was elected a member of the Indian. legislature, now fills the position of church janitor at a salary of a month. He considers himself In luck to have succeeded In getting the latter position with lbs small pittance of compensation. Fate .has dealt severely with him undeservedly so, for he r.ever was and Is not now a bad man. South llend Times. . H More than one father, more than one mother, and, mayhap, more than one sist?r. In Frankfort mourns In broken hearts and tears streaming down pallid cheeks the waywardness of a son and brother. It Is touchlngly sad that a young mjtn some only boys should be caught gambling and lined by the mayor, disgracing themselves and bringing grief to their homes. The wages of sin Is death. He who violates with lmpugnity, God's laws, will sooner or later fall. Hoys, dwn't. Franklort Crescent. The spectacle of a lot of popinjay republican editors writing Mr. Gresham down a poor Judge and an unpatriotic statesman ought to inspire the fiol-killtr to renewed activity, unless he Is disposed to afford the country some amusement at the .expense of this squirt-gun brigade. He fore Judge Gresham abandoned the old tax-laden, dismantled republican hulk this self-same job lot of organ grinders were sounding his praises on all corners. Now they are playing the same tunes backward. Drop a jrenny in the slot and hear a back-action republican editorial to the tune of the "Tin Hucket Brigade." Ft. Wayne Journal. It is reported that Saturday evening thieves built a fire In the school house at Dunlaps, and the light attracting the attention of a farmer, he went to the building to see what was the matter. when the vagabonds made him take off h clothes, which they appropriated without thanks. It Is said the ioor fellow had to apply at the asylum for garments In which to reach home. It Is probable that he will use a shotgun on the next tramp who makes his appearance on his premises, and it Is quite as probable that he would escape punishment for the consequences of his rashness before any Jury of his peers. Elkhart Review. Tramps have again taken Laporte by storm. The seem to be coming into town by droves. On each incoming train a half dozen or so are either put off or they get off of their own accord. Marshal Purcell has been kept busy keeping them from doing anything contray to the city ordinances. He rounds them up about the station and shows them the quickest way out of town. As long as the railroad eompany brins them to town it is no more than right that they should take them out again, therefore, the marshal piles them onto out-going freights, giving them a parting fhot that if they return he wl lock them up and put them to hard labor. Laporte Herald. The announcement of President Cleveland's Hawaiian policy has brought out, In full force, the grumblers, growlers, kickers, who make up the small army of disappointed, office-seeking editors, and fir the next few weeks they will heap vituperation and reproach upon the head of our worthy president. Poor G rover! It is a blesslns that his shoulders are broad. Were they not he would be unable to Iwar up under tfce weight of the maledictions that daily are called down upon him by those disgruntled, "moulders of public opinion." who fain would return from .the innocuous desuetude to which they were consigned by Honest drover's sound Judgment. Ulshawaka Democrat. If this tariff law could have Leen given to the public six weeks ago the results of th state elections held at the beginning of this month would probably have been quite different. Ex-President Harrison is as silent on the new tariff bill as he wa on Minister IMeurU's report on the Hawaiian affair, and yet It cannot be that so noted an orator has loft the gift of speech. The more one studies the bill the more grandly sweeping it seems. It Is the. work of master hands. It will lift burdens of sorrow and hardship from the hearts and should?rs of the people. It is the beginning of the true realization of the principles embodied In the declaration of Independence. Evansvllle Courier. CVunty Recorder Hubler yesterday received a letter from his old friend, Thomas Jefferson ltouch, the recently appointed Chines Inspector from the port of Chicago, dated at the port of Nogalez, Ariz., which place he describes as being situated on the line between the United tates and Mexico, twelve hundred miles from no place. He writes that It tn perpual summer there, but that there hasn't been any rain there for five years Chinese seem to predominate there as he writes that all they buy in the way of produce and provisions Is bought from Chinamen and that "John" prepares all they eat. T. J. bewails the hard lines In which his political lot has been cast. Logansport Journal. The venerable mother of the Rev. L. C. Buckles of this city died a few days ago at Thorntown, aged eighty-three years. Bhe was born In New Jersey and was married to Seaman Duckies In 1S31, and soon thereafter they settled at the home of his parents in Greene county. Here five children were born to them. In the fall of 1840 they came to Doone county, settling two and one-half miles southeast of Thorntown. then two more children came to bless them. Her husband died In July, 1S41, and she was thrown upon her own resource to rear and train a large family of children, which she did with all the nobility of a grand woman, instilling her noble character Into all her children. Lafayette Courier. Nellie Grover Is the latest one to find out that marriage is a failure, and to ask for a divorce. The suit was filed this morning, and In her complaint she says that she was married to her husband on the 13th day of September, 1S3, and that they lived together until March. 1SD3. She also alleges that the defendant for the past year has treated her In a brutal and Inhuman manner, and would frequently leave her alone fr a week at a time, without any pnislon for her support.

Frankfort Crescent. Poultry thieves who contemplate a raid on henneries are hereby notified that James Martin, residing east of town, is loaded for b'ar. Jim demonstrated this fact Saturday night. About 3 o'clock he was awakened by a noise outside the house. He procured his gun and went out. In a cherry tree he discovered the figure of a man. He shot at the fellow and he either fell or Jumped from the tree to the ground below. alighting outside the fence. This was the last Mr. Martin saw of him. as hmade himself scarce. This is the proper kind of a reception to give such fellows, and a few doses of shot will cause them to steer clear of your residence for all time to come. Fountain and Warren Democrat. No little excitement was caused on Wabash passenger train No. 45, westbound, at West Lebanon, last Saturday afternoon. Two men badly loaded with liouor txwrded the train at that place for MarshLeld. Just as the train started one of the men pulled out a revolver and was fooling with It. when It was discharged, the ball passing in close proximity to the heads of several passengers. Many of the passengers were frightened nearly, out of their wits, thinking the train had been entered by bo?d. bad robbers and that some of them might be killed. Conductor Hurlburt rushed Into the coach after the firing, and was convinced that the firing was accidental. Tha pair got nit at Marshneld. Fountain and Warren Democrat. The Wilson tariff bill does not, of course, meet the desires of everybody. It is, perhaps, Impossible to frame a measure which will wholly satisfy the many Interests. But It has the merit of l-lng a step In the direction of freer trade. It give3 manufacturers raw material. It will give them wider makets. It will create a greater demand for labor by widening the market for manufactures. It will cheapen 'the cost of manufactures to the consumer. It deals a blow at the sugar trust by making raw sugar free, and it deals a blow to government aid of private industries by repealing the bounty. Many democrats would have the bill make still deeier cuts into the protective duties. Many would have the free list larger.--La-fayette Journal. In our opinion the republican newspajers are not doing their whole duty. They are not aa badly frightened as they might be about "democratic wildcat money." If they don't get worse scared about that pretty soon some of their readers may think they played the demagogue and hypocrite last fall when they were charging the democrats with a full and fixed determination to wreck the finances of the country by substituting "red dog" and "wild-cat" paper for gold and silver currency. As we understand It, the plain duty of the republican papers Is to get scared periodically about financial matters, and now that they can no longer work the rebel debt racket the wild-cat business should not be allowed to die from abandonment or miserable neglect. Laporte Argus. AV. W. Pennington, a former wellknown citizen and business man of this city, died recently at ML Pleasant, la., which city he had made his home for a number of years. From a beautiful sketch of him, published In the Mt. Ileasant Journal from the pen of Mrs. Judge Babb, the Ledger extracts the following: "William Woodford Pennington was torn near Mecklenburg court house, Virginia. March 11, 1S0S. His father and mother, together with their children, moved to Indiana In 1816, settling near Corydon, In what was known us the 'New Purchase.' lands lately ceded by the Indians." His early boyhood was passed on his father's farm. He was the father of seven children, three of whom - are living. Intimately and favorably Known in Mt. Pleasant circles. New Albany Ledger. As winter approaches and want beKins to stalk through the land we hear the term "worthy poor" more frequently used, and are warned to give only to this class of persons. The Times may le very dumb, but it must confess that It does not correctly understand the meaning of the term. If we meet a poo shivering wretch on the wayside without money and starving we do not stop to ask whether he Is "worthy" or not. as that term is generally used. "Is he not at least our brother," and la ho not entitled to aid? We think so. The mission of humanity, as we understand it, is to "relieve the sick and care for the needy." The Savior practiced, this kind of charity rejardless of the creed or V4ief of the applicant; why should not w emulate such action? Worthlngtoa Times. A lember of the local uniform rank IC of P. received a letter this morning from a Kokomo friend, saying that they were "In it" for the prize drill at Washington next August, and that the Marlon rank must not think they could have it all their own way. It will be remembered that the Kokomo rank won the penant in 1887. They lost it, however. In 1S88 to Hastings, Mich. Kansas City captured the prize In 1SD1, so that the Marion company will have no walkaway. Decides, there is always the dark horee. The rank now contains some thirty-five men and Is doing good work two nights each week, on Thursday nights foot movements and on Friday nights with thfe swords. Only twenty-nine men will be used In the prize drill, however, three officers, two guides and twenty-four in line. Marlon Chronicle. The Logansport Pharos has it that the arrest of Dr. Snyder, formerly of Kewanna, is a piece of republican spitework. Shortly after his location at Burr Oak, the Pharos says, the doctor prescribed for a lady In a neighboring town and attempted to send her the medicine by mail, but the republican postmaster of Burr Oak, one of the knowing kind, seized the stuff. A year and a half later Snyder, who Is a derawcrat, was inptrumental In securing "he removal of the postmaster, and the latter at once brought charges against the doctor and secured his arrest upon the charge of using the malls for immoral purposes. The young lady In the case will testify that the mtdlclne was prescribed for a legitimate purpose and that she has never been In condition requiring the Illegitimate use of drugs.- ; The case of linger against Unger for plander asking J5.000 damages, occupied the attention of Judge Shlvely Tuesday and Wednesday. A verdict for the defendant was read In court Thursday. The case originated with the burning of Isaac Unger's barn In September, 1891. The rumor circulated throughout the neighborhood southwest of town, where tbe Ungers live, that Isaac charged John Unger, his cousin, with having burned his barn purposely. This came to the ears of John and he forthwith filed a complaint In the circuit court alleging that Isaac had charged him with setting fire to the barn, and that the exact place where such charges were made wbs In the lot surrounding the barn while it was burning. The testimony of the plaintiff failed to sustain the charge in the leat. Wabash Times. The Farmers Institute deserves the attendance of every live, progressive farmer in the county. It does men good, whatever their business and how lauch tb.ey may know about It. to briuJi

roofer up against others in the same business. Two years go Senator Mount addressed the Farmers' Institute here and his advice was for farmers to raise hogs. Senator Mount followed his own advice and this year he sold over $3.000 worth of hogs and last year sold even more. Perhaps some good advice will come this year from some one who makes a study of markets and conditions. Wise farmers cannot afford to miss the meeting. Danville Republican. If there is a democrat In all Indiana Who has been cast down by . the course of recent events the splendid ' mooting of the party at Indianapolis will bring cheer to his h?art and encouragement to his spirits. He will be brought back to a realization of the time-proved fact that the gallant democracy of this state knows no such thing as defeat. It has met temporary check, but standing with its feet ilrmly planted on the icround of eternal right, it has moved steadily forward. The skirmish lines are drawn for the big- battle of 1S94. and there will be no flunking In any quarter. The democracy will go in to win and do lt. Kokomo Dispatch. Twenty-nine men enjoyed the hospitality of the Hotel de Williams last night, and as the weather grows more severe the probabilities are that the resort will become more attractive. Four professional "tourists" were cared for last night and given their breakfast this morning. In order to pay for their entertainment they are required to work a half day on the stone pile. The county docs not believe in starting a charitable institution at thecounty bastile. Several old soldiers are among the frequent callers at the Jail for food and shelter. They are given shelter and not required to work. They are s a rule sent out to the Home. This morning at 3 o'clock an old half frozen veteran appeared at the jail door and was let In. He "snoo2?d" on the kitchen floor by the cook stove until daylight. Marion Chronicle. About 5:30 o'clock Tuesday evening a seedy-looking stranger entered the home of William Borden on E. Third-st. He first knocked at the door, and when Mrs. William Horden answered the knock he forced his way Into tbe room, demanding $10 In money. .Mrs.' Borden states she told him she had no money for him, and before she could escape him he struck her a heavy blow, knocking her to the floor. She arose, and was again knocked down and kicked under the table. The brute then became alarmed at her cries, and, according to her story, drew a knife and threatened to cut her throat. When the neighbors arrived the stranger had disappeared, and was last seen passing the Bradford hotel at a fast pace, heading for the Pen-Handle station, where It Is supposed he hoarded the 5:45 east-bound train. Marlon Chronicle. Willis Wright, a blacksmith, and wife, who lived at Taylor's 31111s. suddenly left that place during the night a few weeks ago, leaving Fred Loble, a stepchild eleven years old, behind. The boy was staying at the home of AUert Urnstead, but no arrangements were made between WriRht and Umstead that the latter should take the chdld, and the young waif was turned over to the care of Trustee Thomas Cox of Ohio township. The cause' of the sudden leaving of the boy's parents, or their destination. Is unknown and no explanation was given why the child was deserted. No word having been received from them Trustee Cox began to make inquiries In regard to relatives of the child f.nd found out that his grandfather lived at Whlteland Johnson county, to whom he was sent. But little Is known about the Willises at Taylor's' Mills, they having come there from Tellman, Ind. Columbus Herald. So far as the Republican can learn there Is no truth in the rumor about a terrible battle at Cardonla, just over the line from Caseyville, in which one story has it that one man was "cut all to pieces" into shoe-strings or bologna sausage, as It were while another phase of It is that two men were shot so full of holes that their bodies resembled gravel screens or a target after the Hoc kvllle gun club had completed a shooting match. The latter work, It was said, was done by the bartender for the wife of Leslie Hell, who was killed by James Johnson, the men having threatened him with a knife on two occasions, once running him out of the saloon and the next time attacking him on the street when he was "loaded for bar." The rumors reached here Monday evening, but since diligent Inquiry fails to substantiate them. It is concluded, therefore, that the whole thing is a cock and bull story. Rockville Republican. The high officers of the Independent Order of Foresters, recently organized at Valparaiso, held high court at Crown Point on Tuesday lapt and the officers were Installed. Considerable business was transacted In the way of laying out the woik. etc. Application has been made for a charter, and articles of incorporation filed with, the authorities at Indianapolis. The order will at present confine its work to Indiana, but hopes soon to reach out into other str.res. Among those present at the meeting were High Past Chief Ranger William Bender, Jr.. of this city. High Chief Hanger Mayor Jones of Valparaiso, Hlfth Treasurer J. Lowenstine of Valparaiso, High Treasurer Krank Cooper of Crown Point. High Medical Examiner Dr. C. F. Mitchell of this city, also all members of the high board of directors. "No decision was reached as to the choice of a place for state headquarters. South Bend Tribune. An automatic electric switch signal is being placed In position on Underwood grade by Electrician Davis. This is done with a view to averting collisions between trains descending Underwood grade with those which may have halted at the station here. Had this appliance been In operation here last.. July the terrible wreck in which Engineer George Sherley nearly lost his life could have been avoided. The apparatus consists cf two sigval posts. One of these, the warning signal, is located between the June house and the Hutchess curve, about one and a half miles north of here. This post Is Intended to show a green light when there's a train occupying the main line at Henryvllle. Farther south, near the June house. Is another post known as the home signal. The June signal shows red. When both show a white light the engineer knows there are no trains on the track here north of the south switch. Jeffersonville News. A story to the effect that Charles Cory, who recently left Itockville for his old home In Plymouth, Eng., bad bee'n suddenly killed by stepping from his train In front of an approaching engine Just as he reached his destination, has been going the rounds for the past few days: There were several variations, one-being that the ship In which he sailed had been foundered, etc. The story, lacks . plausibility, as It Is not at all likely that a man could be killed In the manner Indicated In a place as large ' as Plymouth, since there are more safeguards In an English depot than here. Besides, Henry Daniels, who Is Mr. Cory's agent here, received a letter from him last week stating that he had reached home In safety after a pleasant voyage. It Is horrible to think of a man meeting death in the manner spoken of when he is retiring from active life to take his ease as Mr. Cory expected to do. Itockville Republican. Very nearly a counterpart of th visit of the fifty-year-old son whom he Lad DQYcr Beta to M:V Ititd. the ven

erable editor of the Indianapolis People, took place in this township last week. Mrs. Thomas of Lafayette and husband visited her fathe", G. W. Brown, one of the oldest citizens of this township. Mrs. Thomas was the daughter of Mr. Brown by a former wife from whom he separated forty-three years ago when the daughter was but eight months old. During all these years, father and daughter have not seen or known anything of each other. Brownsburg Item in the Danvilje Republican. - Crime and punishment hardly ever follow each other more nearly together than In the case of Commodore Brown; who Tuesday night robbed the granary of W. D. Covert of Hopewell. About 8 o'clock Brown, who lives west of Hopewell, entered Wayne Covert's stable -nd took five bushels of clover seed. With this he started for Indianapolis. .This was discovered a few minutes later by Covert and with the assistance of his brother. Peter Covert, tracked him to Indianapolis, where he was found attempting to sell the seed. When confronted by Mr. Covert be broke down and confessed at once. He was brought down on the early train Wednesday morning and at 10 o'clock pleaded guilty before Judge Johnton to the theft. He was sentenced to two years In the southern prison and fined $10 and disfranchised for two years. He was to have been married Wednesday to an Indianapolis lady. His wife died last summer.

and he has two children. Franklin Democrat. A double wedding took place In the county clerk's office Saturday. Charles Shoemaker of Wabash county and Deila Shoemaker of this county were one couple, and Jackson Cunningham, of Blackford county and Nellie A. Herrold of Salamonie township, this county.were the second couple. Neither couple knew the other couple and neither knew that the other couple was coming in to get coupled. One couple came In and in a couple of minutes the other couple arrived. Deputy Clerk Branyan issued a couple of marriage licenses and both couples were ready for the coupling process. Squire John was found a couple of blocks away and informed that a couple of couples wanted to be coupled. A couple of steps took him to the clerk's ot0.ee where the couple of couples were, In a couple of minutes, coupled by the legal coupler. A couple of witnesses signed the couple of marriage licenses, and the couple of newly-coupled couples soon left the office and started In a couple of buggies In a couple Of directions for their couple of homes. Huntington Democrat. The city schools are having some more trouble. The senior class, or a large portion of it, has withdrawn, and last week one of the teachers and one of the young men pupils indulged In a. fight. There are some very bad reports over town about our schools, and, whether true or not, they have a tendency to do much harm. It Is said that some of the teachers declare in the presence of the class that the pupils are fools; that they sleep ninety-nine hours out of every hundred and snore the other hour. It Is not expected that the very ordinary pupil can grasp an Idea as readily as a teacher, who has had years of training, or that any member of a claw would be as well educated as a wielder of the birch, but if a teacher or teachers are guilty of such- remarks there are certainly many pupils In the schools who have more sense than a teacher who would make such a remark before his class or any pupil In such clafy. The Times does not want to be understood as censuring any Innocent teacher or pupil, but what Is said Is intended wholly for the guilty ones. Tipton Times. Gus Steckelman has received thre fine specimens of gray pat rots from Llveriool, brought by his brother, Carl, from Mayumba, southwest coast of Africa. They are very rare and costly birds, and are very fine talkers of their Plecles. Henry Brockman of this city has one of these rare birds brought here by . Carl in 1SS8, which Is valued at $500. The great trouble with these birds is to get them acclimated. The torrid atmosphere where they are raised Is so different from our climate that many of the birds die in making the change. In 1SSS Carl left Africa for this city with forty-slxof these rare birds, and arrived here with but three, the remainder dying on the road. Two more of these died soon after reaching thl3 city, and the one Mrs. Brockman now has Is the only one left of the forty-six. These birds cost $10 each in their native land, hence It will be very easily seen what value Is to be placed on on that does survive the change of climate. Mrs: Brockman's bird being the only one left out of the flock that cost $460, aside from transportation expense, is is ea?y to see why its value is fixed at 5500. Columbus Times. . . Some fifteen years ago there lived In. Sugar Creek township an aged couple known as Uncle Jesse Anderson and Aunt Polly Rogers. Now Uncle Jese at this time was a widower with grown up children all around him and Aunt Polly was a widow living with an only son. This good old couple had known each other almost always and they concluded to travel life's uneven journey together and were married about fifteen years ago. They went to housekeeping on the farm of Uncle Jesse, afterward buying property and moving to Colfax, where they enjoyed the companionship ot each other until they became trj feeble .to take care of themselves and were compelled to quit housekeeping and each returned their children, where they continued to live visiting each other at short intervals until lately, when both took to their beds. Last week the end came to both, there being less than twentyfour hours between their departure for the spirit world, he being In his eightieth year and she in her lgh ty-third. Thus this old couple passed away reminding us that the pioneers of this country are fast passing away. They died as they had lived, loved and respected by all who knew them. Crawfordsvllle Review. An epidemic of thieving has apparently broken out In all parts of the state. Frankfort has her share of. it. but still we are having very few, mynpared with other localities throughewt the state. In some towns and cities a number are reported to the officers eacit day, and In some cases the burglars, display the utmost daring and seeming-, ly have no thought of fear or arrest. Tramps are given the credit for most of it, but there Is no denying the fact that others are also guilty. A strange part of it all Is the fact that but very few of the offenders are being apprehended. Where one thief Is arrested a half doxeh or more escape, and the rewards offered for their . capture remain uncalled for. In the hands of the local officers are the descriptions of some twenty or more thieves, who are wanted In different parts of the state for crimes of various kinds, but mostly for stealing, and In nearly every case rewards are offered for their capture

Police freely admit that there is more thieving- going on now than they ever knew of before, and they are unable to give a reason for it. Frankfort Crescent. The new tariff bill has been promulgated and, barring the sugar schedule, meets the approval of the Tribune. It is Impossible to frame a tariff law that will please everybody, as long as we cobect taxes through the favorite method of kings and princes a method by which lnsiduous burdens can be imposed and even called patriotic? there will be inequalities and many wrongs against consumers, who are the people. There will be furious ravings from the millionaires. But let them rave. So long as they cannot, through their money and by false cries, deceive the people Into reinvesting them with the privilege of exacting tribute from tax-payers, we don't care. The whine of the manufacturing class that it cannot compete with the world, after a century of development. Is not worthy of an Instant's consideration. Eight per cent, was considered enough "protection" in 17S9. It was all Hamilton, with his remarkable

pleading, could get, and that for only seven years. The new tariff bill will, average four times as high, and be It remembered the time of development auked for by the earlier protectionists has long since passed. Let the democrats pass the Wilson bill and give the people a chance to see how lower taxes and freer trade work. Do this, and, in our opinion, no party in this country will ever dare re-Impose a higher tariff. Brookville Tribune. "The critics are hot after Gen. Lew Wallace, and they make the brpad insinuation that In writing "The Trince of India" he appropriated Ideas that did not belong ten him In short, that he is guilty of plagiarism. The evidence in support of the charge Is rather vague, and it is not easy for anyone to arrive at the conclusion that a man of Gen. Wallace's prominence In literary circles would risk an established reputation as a world famous author by resorting to such methods as he is accused. In any event It Is unreasonable to be asked to believe that any man possessed of his senses would filch such commonplace rubbish as enters into the composition of "The Prince of India." It Is a sepulchral story, abounding In uncanny traditions and highly Improbable Bitua tlons. and If one has the patience to read it to the end the task must be confessed as disagreeable. Gen. Wallace should have been content to have rested his fame with "Ben Hur." one of the most successful novels of the century, and yet there are persons who are cynical enough to believe that even that took is something more In the nature of a fad than a great literary production appealing to the popular taste. As to "The Prince of India." the charge of plagiarism falls to pieces of its own weight of Inconsistency. If there Is anybody capable of finding in it anything worth stealing the discoverer is entitled to be regarded as a genius superior to the author himself. Lafayette Courier! William Laycock, employed as night stoker at the kilns, went to work Sunday evening as usual. Before morning his body was a sickening char, grilled over a gas retort. Since natural gas was taken from the kiln grates the lime has been burned by manufactured gas. To kep up the supply of gas men are constantly employed. Sunday night "William Laycock was the only stoker enraged. About 1 o'clock In the morning Layoock went to the retort to replenish the supply of ooal from which the fuel is made. The retort Is covered by a sheetlron cap, in which there Is a hole through which the coal Is cast. Furiously beneath glowed the fires. Laycock was subject to heart trouble, from the attacks of which he was occasionally overcome. While standing over this fiery furnace he was evidently seized with one of these attacks. He fell unconscious, face forward, onto the plale which covered the hell beneath. Through the perforations of this plate an Intense heat escaped. Lying th?re unconscious, helpless, alone, the man was slowly grilled. His clothes Ignited and burned from his body. Unconscious he could not cry out. No utterance of his gave the alarm which might have brought rescue from this awful situation. Thus death came In horrible form. Nearly an hour afterward hl3 companion, returning from his task, sought the companionship of his fellow. Going to the retort a ghastly and appalling sight met his gaze. It was that of his roasted fellow workman. Logansport Journal. Some time ago mention was made of a fast run made by engine 120 of the Pennsylvania lines over the J.. M. & I. division.
