Osslan had an election recently to deride whether they should have their town Incorporated. It seemed a very one-sided question, as the votes when counted showed 110 for to only 10 against.

Frankfort News. There are lota of mean men in the world, but the meanest we have heard of. If the story told by a traveling man Is true, lives in Bloomington. He is a well-to-do merchant and had among his clerks a young man from one of the country towns of Monroe county. One day. during the hunting season he said the young man: "There must be fine bunting on your father's farm and I would like to try it." The young fellow had his father write an urgent invitation to his employer to be their guest for two weeks at any time he would come. He accepted, and Insisted that Pure and Sure."

the young clerk should go with him. as it would be more agreeable than going alone. They went, and the father and mother did everything for the pleasure and comfort of their son and his guest To the young man's amazement when the next pay-day came, his salary was docked for the two weeks' absence. He was so Indignant that he Immediately threw up his Job, but he ought also to have sent In a bill for the two weeks' beard of his mean employer. Bedford Democrat.

Four festive bums applied for lodgings Wednesday at the county bastlle They were accommodated and after a good breakfast were presented to Dr. Cham bers, the county vaccinating ofneer. Two of them confessed their lack and were given the degree while the remaining two looked on in great glee, they having been excused from the ordeal by reason of blooming scars they bore and evi dently of recent date. The average tramp hates vaccination almost as bad as he hates water or work and now that the news has been spread abroad con cerning the diligence of our county phy si ian, It is safe to say that the hobos of the unvaeelnated variety will give Crawfordsville a wide berth. Crawfordsville Argus-News. The Big Four railroad company will be the defendant named In a ten-thou-sand-do'dar damage suit that is now in the process of preparation. Mrs. Frank Booze is the plaintiff and the suit grows out of the fatal accident which befell her husband ln.it June while in the employ of the ra-ilroad. The deceased was riding backward on the pile-driver car when his head struck the overhead timbers at the covered bridge across the Wabash river a short distance west of Covington. The injuries were such that death resulted in a few hours. The widow thinks that the accident would have leen averted but for criminal neg ligence on the part of the company and , accordingly sues for $R0nn, the amount as limited by law. CrawfordsvUle ArgusNews. The fate of Lottie Raymond of Elkhart, whose attempt at suicide Saturday mgni is tne uirect result or leading a life of immorality, should le a warning to the thousands of women and young girls who with full knowledge of the direful results of unohastity are plung ing headlong into the abysmal depths of disgrace and eventual perdition. Goshen has them every town is infested to a certain extent with this class of girls and women, and who is to blame? , The libertine who first ruins the char acter of a voting cirl. trx-s on in so ciety, holding his head above reproach while the girl whose honor ho has despoiled goes down to her grave with no kind word to Induce her to desist in her course. It Is the way of the world.' When will these wrongs be righted? Goshen Democrat. Kdw-ird L. Kdgerton of the New York Central Union long distance telephone company was in the city Wednesday arranging for the construction of the lino through Terre Haute to St. Louis. The company was granted a franchise by the city council several months ago and has established a district station at Indianapolis. Another lire will be run from Indianapolis to Ft. Wayne and Waterloo, tapping the long distance line between Detroit and Chicago In the northern part of the state. The branch line through Terre Haute and St. Louis will be run as direct as possible to St. Louis, but other branches will bo built from the line throughout central Illinois and along the line of the Mississippi river. Mr. Edgerton was unable to say how long it would be before the line wouM ba built through Terre Haute. Terre Haute Express. Efforts to unravel the gigantic railroad swindle a.re being vigorously prosecuted and many points have beea gathered that add muh to the peculiar machinations In which the buhl scheme for swindling- Englishmen out of $500,000 was successfully carried through. Among the sensational disclosures Is the fact that the alleged "Indiana coal and railroad company" was incorporated in this state April 1, 1SS1. There Is a record of the Incorporation at the secretary of state's office in Indianapolis on the record book, but the articles of Incorporation are not to be found. There had been no inquiry" for the articles since they were filed until Mr. Harry D. Emerson of Cincinnati asked f or them a few days ago. Then it was discovered that the papers had been stolen from the vaults, evidently by the swindlers who placed them there, with the intention of covering up their tracks. Terre Haute Express. D. T. Hill of Frankfort, sheriff of Clinton county, arrived Wednesday with Jaspr Hill In custody. The prisoner was handcuffed and fettered. He was sentenced to a term of twelve years In the northern prison for highway robbery and aftT serving three years he was released last fall on parole. Hill went back to Frankfort and three days afterward stole a lawn mower and was .rearrested. While Hill was awaiting the action of the circuit court several tramps were placed In Jail, and when they were released Hill, who had exchanged clothes with one of them, walked out with them in the guise of a tramp. Monday Hill was captured on the tialii at Lebanon by Deputy Sheriffs Baker and Gabln of Clinton county, and taken to Frankfort, whence the sheriff started with him this morning. Hill has nine years of his original sentence to serve and the prospects are that he will not again receive the clemency of the governor. Michigan City Dispatch. In 192 the city was startled and interested In the marriage of Miss Annie Myers, an American girl, and Henry or Chan Mangee, the Mongolian laundry man. It was not long before Interest reawakened by the announcement that the Mangees had an heir.

"Whisky can be made for a shade over 10 cents per gallon in Terre Jlaute," said a gentleman yesterday thoroughly pes ted in the business. "No distillery In the United States shows such a record for economical working as the one turned over to the trust by Messrs. Fairbanks & Heggs and the best that any other plant can show is about 13 cents. This leads me to be'.ieve," he added, "that the new distillery, whether run by the trust or anti-trust people, will be speedily carried to completion and run steadily. If run by the trust some distillery at another point may be closed up, for the new one with its modern machinery and Terre Haute's unparalleled facilities would make It profitable for the trust to operate it in any event." Terre Haute Kxpres-r. Harry H. Whitnier of Goshen, who has been here visiting Mr. and Mrs. Jacob M. Chillas. won the hearty plaudits and earnest congratulations of a large crowd assembled akmt the Grand Trunk depot last Tuesday aftrnon wheu the Grand Trunk passenger train rushed in. A little bare-headed tot in dresses ran upon the track just in front of the swift rushing engine and onlookers, except Mr. Whitnier, were fairly paralized with fear. Although crippled in one leg, he rushed upon the track, rescued the child .lust la the nick of time and escaped before the people could recover from their astonishment and e try body wondered how he escaped injury and rescued the little one. Harry was a hero right away but accepted his laurels with becoming modesty. It was an exceedingly risky act. South Bend Times. The authorities in Richmond. Ky.. are holding Reuben llimebaugh. formerly of this city, on the charge of bigamy. This information comes through a letter to Deputy Sheriff Kidder from J. Tevls Cobt. an attorney, In which he asks for information concerning a bill for divorce filed several years ago by Mrs. llimebaugh In the circuit court here. It appears from the letter that llimebaugh was married there a short time ago, and that he tells his lawyer that he had a wife in Goshen but believed that she had lone since secured a divorce. The action referred to was tiled during the year 1SU0 by Clara K. llimebaugh. The case was continued from term to term and finally about March 21, 1S91. the proceedings were dismissed, defendant to pay the costs. Shortly after that time llime baugh departed, and Is now heard from through this bit of sensational news. Goshen News. Solomon L. Illxon, who died In Middlebury Sunday, was born in Pennsylvania in 1S05, and at his death was over eighty-nine years old. He had always enjoyed good health and was a vigorous man, mentally and physically. In 1829 he emigrated to Ohio, and in 1S34 he came to MIddlebury township where he cleared up a farm. Mr. Illxon named MIddlebury township after the town from which his wife came In Vermont. Mr. Illxon' a wife's name was Nancy A. Itemele, and he married her in Portage county, Ohio. Five children were born to them, but only one son lives, Henry X. llixon. the banker at MIddlebury. harles Mather Is a son-in-law by his first wife. Mr. Hixon was a man res pected by all who knew him, and as one has said, "the old gentleman belonged to those sturdy pioneers who have done so much for Elkhart county, and the in telligence of his death will occasion great sorrow among those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance." Goshen News. At the fiucklen hotel fire Fireman Frank Little had thrilling experience, which he will not care to have repeated. Little and Fireman Bell were working their way through the hall and Bell. who was first, kicked In a door. It fell forward and formed a sort of a platform projecting over a dark abyss which could not be distinguished through the dense smoke. Dell by a "teetering" of the door divined the danger and warned Little. The warning came too late, for Little drooped out of sight and fell among the glowing embers that yet remained of the portion of the floor that had fallen a few minutes before. How he got out of the bed of living fire he cannot tell, but he Boon emerged from the window. He fell a distance of at least eighteen feet Into a pit-like cavity whose sides are yet today live feet high. It was a miraculous escape. The victim van able to be out the next morning; although he sustained a badly bruised wrist, had two fingers dislocated, a cut over hia eye and other bruises. Goehen New. The meeting of the Indiana window glass manufacturers came to a close yesterday afternoon without anything definitely being decided upon. The man ufacturers met in the rooms of the Commercial club building, and B. F. Uurk of this city was chosen chairman and W. II. Johnson of Muncle secretary. A discussion of the tariff was at once commenced, and this subject was discussed during the entire session to the exclusion of all other matters. A committee on permanent organization was ready to report, but action on this EubJect was deferred until the next meeting. The committee appointed a month ago to go to Washington to labor with thi senate finance committee made a statement that the committee did go there, and through the efforts of Congressman Eynum, whom they had Interested, had been able to secure a plight modification of the schedule In Lbeir aver. cd It tvaa Uiousat their

labor was not in vain. They recommended that a committee be appointed to go to Washington and remain there permanently until the matter was disposed of. The tariff was further discussed, and the matter of appointing the committee was left until the next meeting, which will take place at Dunkirk in two weeks, on April 3. Chairman Burk was seen after the meeting and asked what action the manufacturers had taken on the tariff Question, but he refused to make any statements for publication. Marion Chronicle. "The oldest inhabitant" had an inning in discussing the weather Wednesday. "This blizzard is nothing," he said. "It will do for you young people to say that they never paw such weather as this, but for older people to complain seriously is to ignore their own experience. It is a coincidence that the late- storm came on the anniversary of the worst storm in Indiana in this century. Sixty years ago, on March a blizzard struck Indiana. The season was far advanced. Peaches were in bloom. The wind blew so fiercely that th" blossoms were blown from the trees. Just a month later, when vegetation was measurably recovering, a blighting freeze came, cutting down everything. In Switzerland county, where 1 lived, you could hardly find a green thing till the 1st of May. Then i came the caterpillars. They devastated the whole country for weeks. A few weeks after the caterpillars left the seven-year locusts appeared. Countess millions of them destroyed all living things and even 'tackled" the grindstones and the brick-yards. Nor was this the ' end of our plagues. The drought set in I early in the summer and we had not erough rain to moisten the earth's surface. The cornstalks that year were only knee high at maturity. You see that everything Is comparative when you speak of the weather and the seasons." Richmond Independent. The reigning sensation now Is the separation of Frank G. King and his wife, Anna Kerr King. They have been separated near two years. This fact has really been known to the public to some extent, but only in a very ulet way. Some eight weeks ago Mrs. King's sister went to Chicago, stating that she was going to wait on Mrs. King, who was sick. About the 1st of March Mrs. King visited her father, C. B. Kerr, here. It was then given out that she was going to abandon the stage on account of falling health. She left ostensibly for Chicago March 3. A few days later it Is told she was with a traveling man named McKelvey, and that they registered as man and wife at a Lafayette hotel, and next at Toledo trying to purchase a large stock of good for a cloak and millinery store. An investigation here shows, too, that Mrs. King had been negotiating for the vacant room into which Mr. Waddi'igton moved his shoe stcre in which to open business, but they stopped negotiating for the room. It Is known that a traveling salesman named McKelvey. who has a wife and two children at Warsaw, some time ago met Mrs. Anna Kerr King and beca-me so smitten with her that he wrote his wife a letter that he no longer loved her and advised her to get a divorce. The deserted wife is much chagrined at the unfaithfulness of her husband, and is now Investigating affairs at this end of the line, but has not yet decided what steps to take. It Is said both King and hi3 wife have made application for divorce. Columbus Times. Martin Howley was brought to the northern prison Tuesday night by II. C. Myers, deputy sheriff of Allen county. Last week the prisoner was arraigned on the charge of murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Howley Is probably the only mm In the northern prison who ever pleaded guilty to a capital crime and accepted the sentence as his just punishment. The prisoner is thirty-two years old and married. He and his wife lived with Howley's mother in a double house in Ft. Wayne. The murdered woman kept boarders and one day last November a quarrel arose between Howley and one of the boarders. The old lady tried to preserve peace In the house, but the men paid no attention to her and were about to come to blows, when Howley's mother stepped in between the men to defend the boarder from her son's attack. Howley was enraged and he made a furious attack on Ms mother, knocking her down and kicking her violently after she fell. She was unconscious and died an hour afterward from internal Injuries. The next day Howley was arrested in Ft. "Wayne. He made no attempt to escape and seemed to deplore his act. During his incarceration he expressed his willingness to abide by the severest punishment that the court could Inflict and when he was arraigned he pleaded guilty. Subsequently he was taken before Judge O'ltourke to receive his sentence of life Imprisonment, When asked if he had anything to say why punishment should not be passed upon him, Howley replied: "No, your honor, except that I wish you would show me some mercy and hang me, as I .understand you have the power to do that under the law." "Do you mean to say you would rather be hung?" asked the Judge. "Yes, sir," was Howley's answer. "I have no power to do that," remarked Judge O'Rourke, and he continued with the sentence. There were not many people In the court room when this remarkable request was made, but the few attorneys and spectators who were present were startled and could hardly believe their ears. Such a scene Is not often enacted in a criminal court. Michigan City Dispatch. Malaria is one of the most insidious of health destroyers. Hood's Sarsapartlla counteracts its deadly poison and builds

A SORROWFUL STORY COMES FROM THE TOWX OF ALEXANDRIA. Xalaral Gau , Hinlodr. Wrocklnjr the American Exprcsa Office nnd a Rar her Shop, and Untnnglnir Other Property Seven Men Rnrlett In the Ruins Three Recued and Fonr Doubtless Dead. ALEXANDRIA. March SI. Special. At midnight here the utmost excitement prevails, as a rescuing party are digging into the ruins of a building wrecked by a gas explosion, to rescue several men who have been buried beneath the ruiis and are doubtless dead. About S o'clock tonight the town was startled by a terrific noise as if a rowder magazine had exploded. It was occasioned by a natural gas explosion in a building which accomodated a barber t-hop and the American express company's office. This structure was llown to riws and the remnants tired. The rear of the Whiteside block was badly shattered also and other .structures in the vicinity were badly shaken up. The actual damage to the buildings will reach probably $7.000. The flames burned fiercely and the fire alarm brought the department to the scene. The following were rescued by the firemen from the ruins but more or less injured: James Scott. William Pylie. Henry Heard. There wore seven men in the building and the following were doubtless killed and their charred remains may now be found at any moment: HARRY BOURYER. ORA BALL. JESSE HARRELL. CHARLES HOOVER. The rescuing iarty is working bravely at a late hour, but no hopes that the men named are alive are entertained by even the most sanguine. Harrell and Hoover leave families the others were all single men. The utmost excitement prevails and but little sleep will be taken in this village tonight. ALEXANDRIA. April 1. The new two-story Whitesides block in which occurred the explosion last midnight by which four men were killed and three hurt is a total wreck. The clothing stock was entirely ruined, as were the barber jfhop and express office. The total monetary Joss will each 530,000. There was a basement several feet in depth under the building with no ventilation, and in this civity the natural gas accumulated.
