Our new mstmaster, John William McCarty, received his commission this morning. It is very handsome and he will have it framed and hung in. the office. He will take possession of the office March 1.

This money had been placed there and forgdten for possibly several years. Greenfield Herald. The prohibitionists have decided to put a temperance ticket in the held, not only for the city, but for the township. The time for the convention has not ht-ri set yet. but it will be held soon. TIkprohibitionists claim that all the efforts of the reform league have come to naught, and always will because they have fo much politics mixed with their work. If given a chance they claim that they can and will accomplish something. Crawforayville Argus-News. Chicken thieves al Osgood have became desperate.

It is now believel that a little girl now In the orphans' home at Mishawaka Is a daughter of the woman with whom Jonathan W. Nickles. late trustee of 1'nlon township, recently ran away. Th child was sent to the home by Nickles as township trustee and it wis d nprotwtbly to pave the way for the execution of bis plans. The child's first name was written In ink. but her family name was written with a pencil and so dimly that it might bo taken for almost anything.

Last Thursday evening the republicans of this town had what one of the enthusiastic disciples of that organization said was "a regular love fast' or. in other words, a "dandy time" in their club room under the Model. State Chairman Crowdy. accompanied by two candidates for state ofTices. was present and actually made some of his hearers believe that the republicans had already carried the state, and all they had to do was to wait and count the votes after the November election this fall! He said the panic brought on by Reed's billiondollar congress, th- Sherman silver law and the McKinley bill was expected to d the business, r.nd he urged the workers to howl calamity ami use It for all there was in it! They al! nodded assent and said "you bet." and the meeting adjourned. Plymouth Democrat. A young lad stepped into one of the stores the other day and. with an air of a millionaire, ordered a fifteen-dollar suit of clothes, and told the clerk that he would have the money as soon as the snow left the ground. He had been working at a good-paying business, and It was but a matter of a short time when his bank account would plac e hint among the solid men of the county, but the heavy fall of snow had placed a heck upon his further progress. The clerk, all eager to know what good luck his joung friend had struck, asked him what he had been following. Taking his cigar from his mouth, and sending a curl of smoke toward the ceiling, he said that he had been picking cut the nuggets of gold from among the stones and clods on the streets of Portland. He g t the suit. Portland Sun. Huntington is one of the greatest towns in the world for sensations. , synopsis of th" latest is alx.ut a follows: A man's wife becomes a lunatic and is sent to the asylum.

The man says all of the money except J7" disappeared before he discovered the loss. In the meantime the girl had been to Indianaiolis and secured a glass eye which added so much to her beauty that a young man popjd the question, she accepted with loving gratefulness and they were married. Now the man with a bank account in a hair trunk charges the glass-eyed bride with being the cashier of his dejosits. but it is proUible he handled the cash and she was the recipient. Rochester Republican. Among the many Indians that became distinguished in one way r another and were well known to the early settlers. Anthony Ni-go was the lasf of his race to remain here until his death, which occurred in Plymouth in lsTS. He was lorzi somewhere i:i the then territory of Kosciusko county in the year lvC, anil he was therefore in his seventy-third year when he died. He moved into Marshall county In IS-, and located near Ilen-ak village, in the renion of where Tippecanoe town is now located. His head was not clear as to numbers, but he said there was "heap Indian here then." His father was of the Pottawattomie tribe and his mother of the Miami trlle. He claimed to have Ihlonged to the Miami trite in accordance with an Indian custom of designating the tl'ilie the pappooses should belong to from the mother's side of the house. Plymouth Democrat. Last Sunday the eople of the hotel Ftna were treated to a bit of romance which may result all right, but some appeared to doubt it.

Sundav the event culminated in marrfige. The bridegroom Immediately left and his bride of a few hours remained in town, rather trusting to her own resources for her sustenance than to depend on him. What they will do in the future we know not. but we know this, that all young ladies who ' engage in suc h pastimes should take warning from the events of Sunday and reineinter that the most oonsiiiiiate villain may wear immaculate linen, and command better language than any honest, upright man that ever lived. Brownstown Banner. For a budding minister Cal Armstrong certainly distanced all previous records. The stories of his extravaganc es told in court were bad enough and are considerably improved upon by subsequent newspaper narrations, realizing completely the ideal British plunger, says the Anderson Herald. One feels inclined to Imagine that he must have enlivened his theological leisure by reading the French and Fngllsh novels in which the dissolute young nobleman gambles, drinks, races, is lavish to the corps de ballet and tlnally goes off the stage In a duel, a suicide, or absconds to America with some other man's wife, doing to the state prison north was rather too prosaic an ending for such a career. So our hero vanishes dramatically through the conveniently open door of the Kokomi) Jail. If his companion had been a daring mistres instead of a mangy tramp the Ftage picture would have been perfect. Armstrong's career furnishes the sensational novelist of the future with a plot ready made. The Rev. II. M.

We have received the Indiana university announcement for the spring term and summer schod of 184. It Is a circular of thirty-two pages and gives a brief statement of the work of the university for those terms. A largr number of courses are offered than ever le-fcr.-especially for the benefit of teachers. Three additions to the faculty have leeii made since the publication of the last catalogue and courses have been added in history and Latin to the work in the summer school. The university now has seventeen departments, fortylive active members of ifie faculty and has an enrollment of Ti'M students, about thirty more than ever before at this time of the year. A notable feature of the faculty is that thirty-six of the best American and European universities are represented in it. All university publications will be sent on application to I 'resident Joseph Swain, Bloomington, lnd. Tuesday of last week a traveling salesman came here representing the fruit commission house of F. Ankenbauer & Son of Cincinnati and took orders from a number of grocery men for oranges, cabbage ami such stuff. Thursday he went to several of the purchasers and told them the goods had arrived at the Big Four deiit. He then went and procured a drayman and brought the go.Js up and delivered them and made out a bill and collected for some of them. He left the city Thursday night, saying he was going to Franklin, mid has not been seen since. Sunday morning all the purchasers received regular bills for the goods, by mail, direct from the house. The traveling man left the freight bill at the Big Four amounting to $11. unpaid. Agent Marshall telegraphed about the matter, and they answered saying they would send a check covering the freight charges. The traveling salesman was of the sami name of the firm and a young man. His conduct was certainly very mysterious, but to what extent he was wrong is not yet known. Columbus Times. Bless their kind and credulous hearts, the two ministers who attended Stone's last hours evidently really believed that the murderer was honestly converted and had been raved from future punishment by the grace of Ood. How easy it Is to lclieve an Impossible thing if you try! One of the good brothers, in whose face shone kindness and peace e.nd good will, talked to the reporters half an hour about Stone's "conversion." He was satisfied beyond all doubt that Stone's heart had been touched by the redeeming mercy of the S.a ior's love. That he had felt the chastening hand of the Almighty his soul had been purified by prayer and that, supported by the faith which his new-found religion had mercifully given him, he would march to the scaffold without a tremor and meet death like a man and a Christian. The preacher believed Stone's profession of religion. I did not. To me it looked like a mockery, a travesty on the religion that we have builded on the blessed tradition of the birth, life and death of the Immaculate Jesus of Nazareth. But. who knows? Who can fathom the depth of the Savior's love or measure the scope of his. mercy? Washington flnzette. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously passed by St. Joseph Valley assembly. No. i.OoT, Knights of Labor, at their last regular meeting, held in South Bend. "Wheieas. We have watched our large manufacturers reduce the rate of wages of their employes, reduce the number of working hours, and in many instances completely shut down and lay off or discharge their whole force, during the season when labor m st needs employment, under pretended fear of the Wilson tariff bill; and, whereas, these sweeping reductions have taken place under the highest protective tariff this country has ever known, and as we have neither seen nor heard of any correrjonding reduction in the price of the manufactured articles to the consumer; therefore, be it resolved, that we, as laboring men, look upon such transactions as the carrying out of a thorough understanding or conspiracy by organized capital to bring reproach and condemnation on any proposed new tariff legislation, and believing that our present tariff law is an unjust and unequal tax. we shall therefore ever pray that our senators and representatives do vote for. and aid in the passage at the earliest posible moment, of the Wilson bill or any other measure which will stop bounties and subsidies and tend to more equally divide the burdens of taxation."

The confidence men sometimes get in their work immeThe Lafayette gas plant has been sold, as already announced, and the Courier says of the transfer: "The syndicate that Is to tome into control already owns the plants in the neighboring cities of t'rawfi -rdsville, Krankfort and Lebanon, and we have trustworthy information from those places that the service rendered under the new order of things is even more satisfactory than it was while the management was in local control. The syndicate has one advantage over the old companies that is of vital importance, and that is that it has a munoioly on a system of manufacturing gas for fuel purposes that can be utilized promptly and efficiently whenever the natural reservoirs become exhausted. These foreign capitalists are making their Investments with a comprehensive understnding of the situation. They are well aware that the natural gas territory in being steadily and surely exhausted and that it is only a question of time until they will be compelled to resort to artificial methods In order to supply their patrons. For that emergency they are prepared in advance, whereas the old companies (referring to the natural gas plants) would have no recourse If nature should fail them than to abandon tlie business altogether, a climax that would be a little short of disastrous from a financial standpoint. Taking all things Into consideration, there is ample justification for the leliof that when the situation Is deliberately canvassed the public will conclude that the transfer of the local gas plants to the foreign capitalists is by no means Inimical to the communities' interests, and that in net results the city will be largely gainer." It would seem that the field of the the Invention was full in the way of nickel-in-the-slot machines, but one of these useful combinations has been invented by a Howard county boy that introduces something new to the long list. The Inventor is David S. F. Cook, who lives near Sycamore, in eastern How ard. Mr. Cook formerly machinery department glass works, and Is a thorough machinist. He worked In the at the plate practical and conceived t he Idea of a machine that would sell newspapers, stamps, stationery, etc.. and the work of constructing the machine has so far progressed that he has received notice through the patent ofllce that his application will be granted for a patent on his combination on next Thursday. The machine is a most ingenious combination of slots and cylinders, worked automatically by either electricity or an actuating spring where electricity is not obtainable. It is adapted to the sale of newspapers especially, and by an ingenious arrangement of a spring the purchase will not be delivered until the proper amount of change has been Inserted. For Instance, If the price is 2 cents it takes 2 pennies to make the connection, and no amount of persuasion can force it to give up without the exact change. The machine can be fitted with any size slot for receiving any denomination of coin, but this is the only coin that will work in that especial slot, all others being thrown out as fast as put in. It can not be beaten by means of using a coin with a hole in it and a string attached to pull It out, as an automatic gate at the end of the coin-chute closes when the coin is dropped in and prevents its return by the same route. It will be a great convenience to the traveling public who purchase papers on the streets, as all they will need to do will be to drop In the coin, push tiie button and the machine does the rest. When arranged to work by electricity, any tampering with the machine Is instantly resented, an alaxni gong being arranged to ring and an electric device being provided that ghes a smart shock to the meddling person.

"Bud Stone's wife's careless rind Unci's own foolish action In ing In suspicious proximity brother-in-law armed with a tongue his shotgun are the trifling circ umstances which Jed to the discovery of the murderer of the Wrntten family," said Sheriff Leming. There are but a few jenple who know the details of the circumstances that fastened suspicion on Stone. They know that his wife "gave him away," but they do not know that it was at first unintentional. The day after the murder, VA Mink and his wife, who is Hud Stone's sister, were at Stone's house. Mrs. Stone had noticed the suspicious action of Stone and formed her own conclusions about It, until late in the afternoon, when she carelesslv said tc her slster-ln-law, Mrs. Mink: "I believe Hud knows more about the murder than he would care to tell." Pressed for her reason, he eonfld-d to Mrs. Mink her knowledge of Mud's actions the night befon: how he had gone out the night before and had come back with blood on his shirt, which he said had come from a bleeding tctoth. They agreed to say nothing, but Mrs. Mink told her husband. Mink had als formed an opinion on his own. account that Hud was implicated, but he said nothing. It was in the family. Hud was his wife's brother, and Mr. and Mrs. Mink concluded that It wuld not be right for them to give a blood relation over to the law. Stone, in the meantime, learned that Mink suspected him. One day he said to his brother-in-law: "Look here; you know too much. He careful that you don't say too much." This frightened Mink.

A BAD MESS ALL AROUND. Kk-SetiMtort IIuriieMn "Wife l'.lope with Her Old St. lunula I'lniue. KOKOMO, Feb. 23. Spevial. A s.cial sensation, which stirred this town 1o its depth a year ago. has been revived by the telegraphed advice from Chi' ago and St. Iouls announcing the elopement of the wife of ex-State Senator H. F. Harness of this place with Harry K. Richardson of St. Louis. Richardson is the traveling representative of the Richmond manufacturing company of Lock port, X. Y. He has a wife and daughter in St. LouM. Just one year ago Mrs. Richardson found a compromising letter in her husband's pocket, which she traced to the wife of ex-Senator Harness in this city. Mrs. Harness was very gay and cut unite a swell at the state capital four years ago, but this was tho first time she had ever been openly charged with misconduct. The sit. Louis wife secured evidence to prove that Mrs. Harness had made a midwinter trip to Niagara falls In company with her husband and had in many other ways indiscreet with him. She secured the law firm of Elliott & Overton in this c ity to bring action for alienation of affections, with damages, but an investigation showed that Mrs. Harness's property was so lied up that a judgment against her would be worthless. She then contented herself with an action for divorce. She was granted a decree in St. lAuis last August, Richardson not appearing to light it. Two months later a reconciliation was effected through the little daughter. much after the fashion of the last act In "The Ranker's laughter." It was not lasting, however, as subsequent develop ments proved. Tn the meantime ex-Senator Harness had forgiven his wife, and, driven from his former home by the exposure, they took up their home in Chicago. Harness had been one of the foremost members of the bar In the state, but In Chicago he engaged in some business in connection with an electric belt and truss com pany. His wife remained with him until two weeks ago, when word was received here that thej- were separated. It was not until today, however, that the true story was told in a St. Louis telegram, showing that Richardson had deserted his wife and llow n with his old I flame, Mrs. Harness. The ex-senator was well known throughout the state, as was his giddy and wayward wife. She was a woman rather plain in features, but a stylish dresser, an entertaining talker and a woman who had talent for getting along with men. Richardson was known among traveling men as a high roller and a ladies' man. He leaves bis wife and child utterly desti tute. ST. LOUIS. Feb. 23. The evidence that Mrs. Harness is a partner in Richardson's flight is accepted as conclusive by his former associates. Within a week after Richardson's de parture a registered letter was received at the Laclede hotel directed to Mrs Harness. ;rveral days aftervtf.ud lb-? management of the Laclede hotel re ceived a letter from Senator Harness requesting that the registered letter. supposed to contain a remittance, should be forwarded to her at San Francisco This was done. The inference is that she had notified her husband that she had gone to the coast. Several letters and telegrams have been lying at the Laclede for Harry K. Richardson, and it is said that his locked box at the postoftiee. 4M5, is bulging with mail. A Republic reporter visited Mrs. Rich ardson at her home last night. She was asked about the absence of her husband, but she declined to discuss it more than to say that his departure was due to business affairs. She said that he had gone with her knowledge. When asked if he corresponded with her. she replied that she "had heard from him." When asked if she had any reason to connect his ab sence with the companionship of Mrs Harness, she expressed herself as positive that there was no truth in the rumor. Her little daughter. Hazel, sat by her mother's side during the inter view. Richardson's former friends and asso ciates are indignant at the treacherous manner in which he has repaid the de votion and forgiveness of his wife. Her friends and relatives were much put out at her remarriage, and predicted that unhappy results would follow. Richardson has, it is understood, left her without means, and the unfortunate mother and child are again dependent upon friends. shl: is after him. Harry Temple IIa More Wives Than Tbr Low Allow. WARASII, Feb. 23. Special. Mrs. Retta Temple of this city left tonight for Martin's Ferry, O.. where her husband, Harry Temple, Is in jail to answer the charge of bigamy. Temple Is a scenic artist who located in Wabash alHut the year 1S2. He married Miss Retta Gardner, with whom he lived until two or three years ago, when he deserted her, going to Chic ago. She sued for divorce, but had obtained no decree. Yesterday Mrs. Temple saw a fMsjp-itc-h from Martin's Feiry stating that Harry Temple was under arrest there, having wedded a Martin's Ferry woman when he had a wife living at Nashville, Tenn. The Nashville woman was hot on his track and caused hl3 arrest. The Wabash Mrs. Temple Immediately telegraphed the officials in Ohio and received positive assurance that her husband was the man in the toils, and also a request to come and testify against him. Temple is an unprincipled scalawag, although a talented aritst, whose services are in demand. It is presumed the Nashville marriage was contracted since he left Wabash. The Wabash woman is the mother of two small children by Temple and deiarted this evening vowing vengeance. Torn by n. Hull Ig. RIRDSEY12. Feb. 23 Special Late last evening the citizens were attracted to th rear of Hubbard Brothers liverystable by the cries of a flf teen-year-old boy. ' Louis Chadworth. They found the boy prostrate and a vicious bulldog tearing savagely at his left leg. The animal tore the boy's, flesh from the calf of the leg in Fhreds. Attempts to tear him away or kick him loo9 were In vain till the tow n marshal killed him with an ax which crushed his skull. When released the boy was taken to his home and stripped and a physician was called. The flesh was found to be torn fioni the bones, and the muscles stood out like whipcords and were as white as cotton. If the dog was not mad hopes are entertained of the boy'3 recovery without amputation of the limb. If the animal was mad and so many a.e mad that fears are entertained amputation would hardly eave him.

I A VERY RARE DISEASE.

HEKM t M'HHOri: OF SHKLnVHLLK THE MPFEKKR. Dm. Long, TRue11 und fnrrjrr of Tili Citj Ampntnte tlie lin' l.e It Weighed About Sixty-Five 1'cinnd alil to lie tiie Only Ce of Elephant liiMiK in the Mute. 1-irs. Long, Ru.sscll and Curryer went to ShelbyvUle Thursday, where th-y amputated the leg of Hermann Sc h rope, who for twenty-four years has suffered from that dreadful and rare disease known as elephantiasis, so named because the skin of the aillicted person resembles that of an elephant. Schrope, who is twenty-nine yepirs of ag was selred with the disease when a child four years old. With a nuinin r of other young; ters he was playing about a hand-car and in some manne r g"t his foot cMuchl in the cgs and it was mashed. The disease did not app ar for about a year, and when it did it was some ilmo before tic physicians discovered what it was. The leg began to grow and h;cs eontiinied to do so ever since. The growth was slow, however, and Schrope worked at bis trade, that of a ho us-.; painter, until a few months ago, when the leg became so heavy that he was s"arc-iy able to get around with it. Everything known to medical science was tried, but without effect. The skin harden. xl until it became about the thickness of an elephant's skin and about the ankle wa a rowlli which resembled moss. Th" disease is loathsome in the extreme and the itching sensation nearly drove; the sufferer wild. When everything else faited he consented to an amputation, a; it was the only means of saving his life. When the leg was removed it was placed on the scales and the weight was found to be exactly forty-live pounds. This was after the blood had run out of it. When on the man it was estimated to have; weighed In the neighborhood of sixty-live or seventy lound.s. It was taken off at th hip joint. The physicians wrapped the leg up in a piece of cloth and brought it to this city and it was taken to the eclectic college of physicians and surgeons, where it was placed on exhibition for the lenefit of the medical students and others Interested in such matters. Th-; physicians did not send the leg by express, but carried it into the car with them, and not one of the other passengers realized that a portion of a human body was in the car with them. The physicians say elephantiasis is common in Arabia and other warm climates, but in this country is extremely rare. The patient bore the operation well and will, it Is believed, recover.
