The republican convention here Thursday was attended by a good many persons who were willing to ask others to listen to their tale of woe. They were either crushed statesmen or statesman who ought to be crushed. Their tale of woe sounds much like the squealing of "lean and hungry shoats." They are statesmen who want to break into T'ncle Sam's corn-crib. Logansport Pharos. Miss Ida Ilux cf Wanatah. who Is slowly starving to death. Is now on the fourth week of her fast. Her condition Is due to an unyielding belief in a strange hallucination. She claims to have received a revelation which obligated her to enter upon a continuous fad. The )ecullar malady has made her hopelessly Insane, and the attending physicians say she is beyond the aid of medical science. We notie a number of small boys about town smoking and chewing tobacco, and It seems to us that there is a law against selling tobacco to them. How do they get It? We want to tell those boys that tobacco injures them if they use it, and besides that it is one of the causes of "hard times." The tobacco bill of the I'nlted States in 102 was about $ ;o,Ojio,Oj!0. Most of that money was wasted. White County Denioctat. Taxpayers of Indiana ar accustomed to inquisitorial methods of taxation. Do we not all have tu answer two closely printed papes of questions about our private property, the mortgages we own. the money we have at interest, the number of dogs, cows, horses, asses, billy Koats, etc.. we ovn? An income tax could not be more inquisitorial than that, but I'nele Sam punishes perjurers while the state laws are not enforced against them. Evansville Courier. John Yonng of Cutler had hi- matrimonial plans rudely Interfered with Monday. His marriage was planned for that evening, but In the afternoon Hez Shanks, with constable authority, came along and brought John to Tiotel de Sines. i:i Delphi.

Klectri" ity is superceding horses and nudes throughout all the cities for street car purposes, which is the direct cause of the d"' line in values. Krickson, the Xew Jersey buyer who was here last Saturday, did v not purchase any horses because those presented were not in good condition. Sullivan Democrat. The Columbia City Post remarks that "if some of the fellows who stand around and croak about the hard times would go to work they would have less tim to talk and more money in their pockets. There are few men in the United States who would not have work today had they been industrious and discreet since reaching manhood. There is a demand for good, reliable men in every avocation of life. The time killer is in danger at all times of losing his position." The oil men have commenced active operation in developing the territory for oil south of town. The Columbian c-om-pans will drill in Ihdr well on the Hoover farm this week.

The Cincinnati Kncuircr is vi'ious against the Wilson bill because of the income ta:c feature. This provision of the bill reaches the rich and compels them to contribute in proportion to thir wealth in the rriintenance of the government. When you read those long: republican editorials in the Knquirer denouncing the income tax, remember that John P. Mclan, the editor, is worth millions of dollars. Of course he does not want an Income tax, but the people do. North Vernon Sun. What do you think cf nn industrial system that after thirty yenrs of trial leaves thousands of men, women and children with nothing fnved for a rainy day? And yet that i Just what protection ha done for labor. The rates of protection were raised from year to year until it culminated in the McKinley law, and this latter law is in effect scarcely two j-ears when It brings thousands of laborers on the verge of starvation. A line law for the favored few. but mighty tough on labor. Elwood Press. A report is ging the rounds over abovit the hub that some person has discovered a clue to the murderers of Will Ilinshaw. It brings in connection some very prominent people, who formerly were residents of this county. It is also eaid that this person, has sufficient evidence to convict them, and he offers to make the arrest and lodge them in jail for t'2f0. He claims that there was an eyewitness to the plot and murder. The story i- believed by some and disbelieved by others. Union City Eagle. A special to the Hxpress from Indianapolis of the 14th says that Governor Matthews haa appointed the editor of this paier for another term a.s trustee of the state normal school. When originally appointed by Governor Williams it was without any personal solicitation on our part, nor have we applied In any Instance for a reappointment. It In more gratifying in this instance than in any other on account of the lleree fight made by the enemies of the school against the management. Sullivan Democrat. Luther Benson, the well known temperance orator, lectured In Terre Haute Sunday evening. Mr. Penson is one of. the most eloquent temperance advocates in the country and always carries his audience with him. Hrazll Miner. Luther Hemon la indeed an eloquent temperance advocate, but he doesn't carry his audience with him. His audiences here were obtained here in town and he didn't carry them away with him. They are here still, ready to hear him again when he comes again. Brazil Miner. Nine years ago Jan. 13. 1883, there were exciting times In South Bend. The strike at the Oliver chilled plow works, which began in the afternoon of the previous day, culminated In a bloody riot at the works on the morning of this day. Many people were injured, but luckily none were killed. While the excitement was nt Its height a telegram came from Mankato, Minn., bringing the news of Mr. Colfax'a death there, which served to add to the public agitation and filled the whole city with mourning. South llend Tribune. The count at the northern prison has reached high water mark and Is the largest in the history cd that institution. Warden French counted tip Monday and the number 1 873, an increase of 123 in the past three months, and at the name ratio it will not tie long until the number Is 1.OC0.

About twenty lady friends of Mrs. Philip Dorner surprised her and Mrs. Fred Dorner of Lafayette this afternoon by taking possession of the former's home and spending a few pleasant hours In their company. One of the many pleasant features of the afternoon was a cake walk, which was indulged in by those present. Mrs. Jesse Hinds was fortunate enough to secure the first prize, while to Mrs. John Cromwell fell the "booby" . prize. All enjoyed the occasion and a pleasant time is reported. Frankfort Crescent. Charley Green and George Alexander of the North Side went conn hunting Tuesday night near St. Joseph's Hill. In returning home an old horse belonging to Alexander they were driving to a wagon fell on the road and they supposed him dead. They took the harness from the animal and placed it in the wagon and then pulled the wagon to Worley's farm, six miles north of the city and left it and walked home. They were greatly surprised thl3 morning to see the supposed dead horse walk into Alexander's yard, good as ever. Xew Albany Ledger. Freeman Stewart, who is a candidate for the nomination of representative on the republican ticket, and who lives near Selma, has his own peculiar way of electioneering. He has a lot of bills to advertise his meetings. They are like this: "Glory halleujah! Republican meeting!

Hartford City Telegram. The report that Lewis L. Woods of Friendsville, who was shot by Mr. Polk of Oaktown at the shouting match nuar this city New Year's day, was dead seems to be a little premature. Mr. Wvds is not dead, so we are reliably informed, and is fast recovering. Mr. Woods is his leg amputated just below the knee and has passed the critical point and is now out of danger. It was a most unfortunate termination of affairs for Mr. Wood and the loss of a leg is an irreparable one to him. However, wo are glad to state that he is Mill alive and bids fair to recover and that the report of his death is an erratum. Vincenne.-? Sun. The word is tint a number of those republican protection protest petitions against the rental of the McKinley bill are being pushed about this county for signatures, the principal effort lx-ie? to secure the names of unthinking democrats. Some of these petitions have already been forwarded to Washington, but they did not work as expected some democrats who were deceived by false arguments into signing the petitions have since learned the facts and they are now writing letters to congressmen, withdrawing their nasns from the petitions and afHrmlng that they signed under a misapprehension.

Valparaiso Messenger. It must bo borne in mind that the financial troubles through which the country Is passing are wholly due to re publican and not democratic, policies, it has been more than thirty years since any democratic nief..ures were auopieu anil it Is hardly probable that existing conditions can he traced to legislation previous to that period. The intention of the democratic party, which at last has acquired control of all branches of the government, is to substitute for the class legislation of the republican party such measures as will benefit all of the people. It is to democratic policies that the country must look for a return of national prosperity. White County Democrat. Sunday evening while the younff rple of Zlon methodlst episcopal church, situated seven milea north of the city. on Pleasant urove piKe, were engaged In their weekly service the large chanleller containing a dozen oil lamps, fell with a crash. The lamps were all brok en and the ou caugnt nre, out the chandelier was carried out and the lire extinguished before any serious damage was done, except a large spot burned In the carpet. The only person injured was George Larimer, the sexton, who was struck on the hand. Great excitement was caused by the accident, and had there been a large crowd a panic would have resulted. The damage was about $40. Logansport Pharos. The St. Joseph county medical society held their regular monthly meeting yes terday afternoon in the Y. M. 0. A. parlors, and it was well attended. A communication was received from the American medical foclety regarding the proposed changing of the code of ethics. The intended action provoked consider able discussion, and the matter was thoroughly and carefully gone over to the exclusion of other important business. A vote showed that the society was almost unanimously opposed to any change. The election of officers resulted in the following choice: Dr. C. M. Butterworth, president; Dr. C. F. Mitchell. Vice-president; Dr. A. F. Hchaefer, secre tary; Dr. F. P. Lastman, ticasurcr. Snrth Bend Times. Henry M. Jones was awarded a ver dict for tt.IZS damages against the G.

The Terre Haute Express of last Sunday morning was nuide to say on the (ir)responsiblllty of its Brazil eorretlondent that the shooting of Donham down at Ccry, Saturday night, was an attempt at murder, and that the citizens of that laeality were indignant and wild with excitement over the crime coupled with that of the assault and robbery of John McMillan on the Cory river bridge on Thursday night IWore. As there wa,s no man of this name hld up and rohhod on the Cory bridge, and for the further reason that there is no Cory river bridge, the readers of the Express of Sunday were Inexcusably imposed uiK.n.

Mrs. Augusta Schmidt, who occupies quarters in our county jail, is in more trouble. Alter lawing away a fortune and finding herself in her poverty incarcerated in a prison cell with the charge of murder In the first degree hanging over her hend that calls for death at the end of the rope, one would supiose Mrs. Schmidt had sipped the last dreg of bitterness. Not so! She broke her looking glass Wednesday, and that worries her more than all else die has on hands.

A fpecial telegram from Knox appears in a Chicago paper of Tuesday, containing a report that John Eckert, the San Tierre man who was arrested and Imprisoned at Valparaiso last summer on the charge of murdering Ambrose Rude, with whom he was fishing in the Kankakee river, and who was Unally discharged because no evidence could be found on which to base a criminal case against him, has retained a firm of Indianapolis lawyers and instituted a suit fur five thousand dollars' damages against several prominent men in and around San Tierre.

I-was at the theater the other night and happened to get a seat Just behind two ladies who kept up a spirited conversation between acts about nearly every person In the house. They criticised every one's look and dress and if any one escaped them it was because they couldn't be seen. A stylish young lady who wai near by seemed to be the main target of their criticisms. She wore a red felt hat trimmed in black which was very becoming and which made a pleasing picture of her pretty face, and a nice new fur cape hunt? gracefully about her shoulders. Yet these two girls said that her nose looked like It had been broken, and in mending it they had got it together uneven; that red was terribly unbecoming to her, and that a person with euch a horrible form ought not to think of wearing a fur cape. I sized up these critics and upon honor they looked no ancient that any one woiild Lave believed that they

It. binnen. lie was en route home from Nashville, Tenn., and the purr" of his visit here was to complete the purchase of the school property on W. Main-st. for the St. Bernard's congregation. The property was purchased twenty years ago by the sisters for academic purp0''' and has tlnce been used for such. They do not care to continue longer on their responsibility, hoMever, and make a disposition of their property to the. congregation of the church, which will maintain the school henceforth.

The Pharos published a few days ago nn account of the finding of Jacob Mullendore at his barn, north of Rockfield, in an insensible condition. It was supposed at the time that an assault had been committed and false rumors connected the name of a young man named Guthrie with the tragedy. Since the matter was published the condition of Mr. Mullendore has somewhat improved, and in his moments of consciousness he has cleared up the mystery. His Injuries were caused by falling from the haymow of his barn where he had gone to get feed for his horses. Mr. Guthrie had no connection with the unfortunate affair and knew nothing of it until the following Monday, when he returned from this city, where he had been visiting his sister. Logansport Tharos.

She told Mrs. Pauley that there was some money buried in the currant bushes. Mrs. Pauley kept this all secret until all the family v as away from home. Then she made the search in the bushes where she had been directed a few nights previous, fhe found a glars jar full of money. She, telieving that the money belonged to her mother, who died some months IWore, divided It equally among her sister and herself. Mr. Martin is suffering a good deal of uneasiness and is expecting something to take place at any time. Greenfield Herald. Three months ago, the Elkhart Review says, the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Masten came in from play one day complaining of a scratch on his leg above the knee. Little attention was paid to it. After five or six weeks his knee became stiff, and then gradually got better. Sunday night, after he had gone to bed with his brother, two years older, he complained that his leg hurt him below the knee. The brother, in rubbing the little fellow's leg. discovered a bunch on it. It was examined the next morning, and what appeared to be a boil was discovered. A neighbor came in and proposed that the be opened. This wa.s done, and a piece of a cambric needle about an inch long was taken out. The piece of needle had worked its way from above the knee to a spot two or three inh-s belmv the knee, the distance the needle had traveled in the boy's flesh being six or seven inches. The following is from the Brooklyn Evening Citizen of Jan. 6: "Have you anything to say for yourself?" Judge Moore asked Bigamist Grimm when arraigned for sentence In the etslons today. "Nothing, your honor." was the reply. "Your sentence Is that you be confined In the King's county penitentiary for the term of four years and six months," said the Judge. "Will your honor grant me one 1-a-a-s-t request?" tne prisoner asked. "What is It?" the Judge asked doubtfully, as though he was expecting that Grimm's request would be to take a farewell of a few of bis wives before withdrawing from the affairs of men. "Will you send me to Sing Sing?" "Yes, I'll do that." Some women In the rear of the room shook their fists at the prisoner and he retired to the pen. It will l rernembered that Grimm was c-apturvd in Ft. Wayne about three weeks ago and was returned to Brooklyn by Detective Baffnarella. The section about New Paris has long been the prey of horse thieves.

The LaPorte, Tex., Chronicle of Jan. 11 fays: "A few weeks since an excursion party from Indiana arrived at LaPorte, and after thoroughly Investigating the most desirable building sites selected one on Broadway near Little Cedar Bayou. This trat covers an area of about fifty blocks and is to be handled exclusively by an Indiana syndicate. It has been cleared and plowed, streets laid out and graded, and In fact there is no more advantageous locality In LaPorte. The rippling waters of Galveston bay are close at hajid. a park has been reserved and a new portion of the town will soon be dotted with fine residences. Mr. M. R. Montgomery has already signified his Intention of building at once, and no doubt other3 will soon follow. The site is close to that of the proposed military academy."

Tuesday evening "Minn" Dunbar, a well known and prosperous farmer of Sugar Creek towruship met a tragtc death in a runaway accident. Mr. Dunbar had passed a part of the day in Colfax, where he had some business to transact, and In the evening started home In his buggy. He had driven some distance on his way when in some manner his horse took fright and ran off. Mr. Dunbar was apparently unable to govern him and when a rough place in the road was reached he was hurled violently from the buggy. He struck the ground violently on the back of his head, the great force of the. fall breaking his neck. Assistance soon arrived and he was picked up insensible and died-in a very few minutes. "Minn" Dunbar, as he was familiarly called, was a very popular man and was known far and near as a Jolly, whole-souled fellow, thoughtless of what he did but with a heart full kindness for all. He leaves a wife and a family of grown chlltiren to mourn his death. Crawfordsville Journal. The good housewives of the city are sending up a general complaint about

the number of tramrs who go about begging. The beggars are frequently rude and insulting in their demands, and many times are given what they ask because the ladies fear to refuse. There are doubtless deserving cai?es, and perhaps a good many of them, but It is equally certain that a large proportion of the applicants are iniijsters. One case in particular is noted, cf a young?, able-bodied man who has one of his arm neatly bandaged as though by a surgeon, and who claims tr have suffered from an accident on the railrcad. He refuses everything except money and is very persistent in his demands for the same. He is a rank imposter, and, with his pal, is systematically working the town, and from what a gentleman recently overheard them saying to each other, it must be quite profitable. It is a gxjd rule to be sure charity is deserving before you give it. Delphi Times. .Arnold C.

The farmers of llownnl. Cass and Tipton counties have organized a farmer.-.' company under the name r the Farmers insurance company of Kk"n . Ind.

Th-ie arc people in this city who think that the mrt that Dr. Herda:) has committed suicide at Chicago i a fake, given out to assist the doc tor to skip his creditors here, of whom he left several. He did not do well h-re from the first, and stiil his family carri.d a good deal cf style. After his reported death his wife left for Chicago, she took all her goo,: along, and lft lots of debts which have not yet been paid and probably nev;r will be. One woman here . borrowed $40 out of the bank to give him before he left, and this is unpaid. One thing which looks peculiar was that bought quite a lot of goods from Johnson & Wcodhurst the night liefere the report of the doctor's death came here. They wen? goods that she could get along without very well until the next day. and as they were quite bulky. Mr. I'. Woodhurst asked h- r to leave thorn until the next morning, when he would have them delivered. She woul 1 not wait, however, and carried the goods, to her rooms herself. It is thought she did not want to wait until the next rirning for fear she misht not get them at at. Richmond Palladium. An unusual pro. ceding and one heretofore unknown in this county, says the Princeton Democrat, was commenced in the Gibson circuit court yesterday, when Messrs. Twineham Ä- Robinson, attorneys, filed a petiti'-n d-claring John Daugherty a habitual drunkard and asking the court to appoint a guardian for him. The law under which tiie in-tition is filed is an old statute and away back in the fifties it was sustained by the supreme court of the state. Although the law is an old one, it has rarely been resorted to and has fallen almost into disus?. So far as anybody knows this is the first case of the kind that has ever come up in Gibson county. Daugherty is an old soldirr and a pensioner, and like a great many others has acuired an appetite f r strong drink and has been in the habit of sojamb ring his pension money for liquor. The G. A. R. post of this city, seeinc: that a number of the old soldiers have become addicted to the liquor habit and are In the habit of squandering their money for strong drink, have taken the matter in hands. They will make a test case of this one and if it succeeds they will resort to the same proceeding ia a number of other cases in the city ani community. Washington Gazette. If any one imagines that labor organizations in this community are peuiilo weakling Infants he will t.e greatly surprised If he will take the trouble to investigate. The fact Is that today organized labor in the little city of Clinfm is a passive giant. There ore nearly six hundred men about here now organized in the local branches of the open D. A. of the K. of L., and the mine workers' union. Then there are various other societies among our working-men which will swell the number well up toward seven hundred. And all this means something. There is a unity in the purpose back of this quiet and unadvertised movement. True these men may not be all statesmen or even politicians, but this great body of organized labor means a silent protest against existing wrongs in our social and Industrial system and a banding together for the mutual protection of mutual interests. - Rut sxn these men must see that merely belonging to a union, paying dues, obeying orders to strike or work. d"Hs not aftr all really benefit their condition. Soon they will coino to see that In spite of all the power of organization there are forces at work ngainst them till more powerful, and the only way they can ever secure justice and permanent prosperity is by the ballot to sweep away unjust class laws and special privileges.Clinton Argus. The only steamboat that now does a traffic and passenger business on the St. Joseph river is the old-Tashloned craft, the May Graham, which luring the navigation season makes dally trips through the beauteous scenery and over the riffles, current and pools that form our river's course from St. Jopeh ami Benton Harbor to Berrien Springs, Mich.
