'AmUk for ( lui UK.-, Tiien TnUen the Pol. AXDKKSOX, Sept. 14. Special. One of the neatest and latest swindling schemes out mado its appearance in this city last night. About 0:30 last evening a fellow with a hustle and a business air rushed into Mathias Colehen's saloon at Kighthst. and the Rig Four railroad, threw a handful of money on the counter and asked Mr. Colchen if he would exchange a twenty-dollar bill for it. At the same time the stranger explained that there was $20 of change and that he wanted the bill to inclose in a letter to his wife at Toledo, it being then too late to get a bank draft or money order. Mr. Colchen got out a 'twenty." handtd It to the tallow and saw him put It in an envelope, as he thought. Then while the envelope lay on the bar in the presence of all the chanfr was counted and but 513 found. The fellow paid there was a mistake and he would run home and get another dollar. He went out, leaving the $13 and the envelope with Colchen. In a shcrt time he returned, saying his wife was out and he couldn't get the other dollar. He took his $15 and leaving the envelope went away. A half hour later Mr. Colchen concluded he would take the bill from the envelope and puc It In the cash drawer. When he opened the envelope he found a part of an old rallr.oad map. but ro money in It. Then he discovered that he had leen flim-flammed. He reported it to the pol lee, but the man was gone. The same fellow tried to work the trick at Williams's Lldorado drug store at 6 o'clock and was given the laugh. He also tried It at the l-'nterprlse Steam laundry office and was kicked out. 11 AHI1LY FSCAPIIR DR VTII. Warn Clnhheil, Shot nnd Then Tbronn Into tLr River. KVANSV1LLE. Sept. 14. Special. On March 11 lis: Paul W. Johnson left Kvansvi'd'3 f r Louisville on business. There he was aeosted by a nun who called him by name anl invited him to go d:w:i o.'Tto a club boat. J-hnsotfi accepted the invitation, was mide a prisoner on a family boat and ab I tided. He wxs cr.iflnel in the hold of tha boat until after .the boat passed Memphis. Then he wi3 lor. out to help fisii, bit: hd a big rock fastened to his leg to prevent his escape. When the party reiiehej .the gulf Johnsen was transferred to a schooner and started west along the coast.. At Sabine he iw two men in a sa.il-boat and determined t escape.

Johnson ia a physical wreck and so weak he is hardly able ta talk. SHERIFF SIMMONS RESIGXS. Sn He Hu I.ot Monej- Every Day He Hat Served. KOKOMO, Sept. 12. Special. Edgar Simmons, sheriff of this (Howard) county, has forwarded his resignation to Governor Matthews with the request to be acted upon at'once. Simmons's ofiicial term will expire Nov. IS, and there is some doubt whether any person can be found to accept the place in his stead. When the county commissioners come to appoint his successor, Coroner Turpin, upon whom the duties of the olllce will devolve pending the new appointment, declares that he will resign if -the place is forced upon him, and it seems Impossible that anybody can fill the remainder of the term except at a large financial sacrifice. The new fee and salary law gives the Fheriff $2,000 per year and no fees save for boarding prisoners at the jail. Sheriff Simmons has been compelled to keep two deputies, paying them out of his salary, ad the county commissioners will allow him nothing for going abroad after criminals against whom warrants are held. They have also cut his pay for boarding prisoners down to 13 cents per day. He held to his office hoping that the supreme court would declare the new law unconstitutional, but he was disappointed. He claims to have lost money every day ince he has been in of flea and as a heavy term of court opens in a tshort tlmo he. desires to get out

before he Is forced to further pacriflce his means, at In claimed that the expenses of the office during this term will exceed the salary for that time three fold. The county commissioners and the sheriff are republicans, and it is claimed that the shcrilT has bren made the victim of an attempt to make the fee and salary law seem odious.

JS, pt. 12. Special. The following is a part of the contents of an item in the Indianapolis Journal this morning which does the Hon. W. S. Holman great injustice and is also false In almost every particular, and is only a sample of the littleness the republicans are resorting to in their desperation in this state: "Two claimants were named in the bill J. and O. P. Cobb. O. P. Cobb has been dead three or four years. Had the bill gone through O. P. Cobb's heir would have come in for half of the money. That heir Is an only daughter, and her husband is W. S. Holman, jr., all of which goes to show that blood Is thicker than water." Now, the facts In the case are these: There are six heirs to the O. P. Cobb estate, four sons and two daughters, as every one with any intelligence In. this congressional district well know. And, further, the Cobb heirs, one and all, have never dlsp-uised the fact that thev held the Hon. W. S. Holman responsible in a great measure for the non-passage of the bill allowing them the money that they have contended was Justly due them since about the close of the late civil war. Republicans will have to go farther before 'they succeed in connecting the "Watch Dog" in the remotest degree with an attempt to loot the public treasury In the Interest of his own or any other family. SIIOU.l) THE OVEIIXMEAT ACT To Snpurem Frnuilnlrnt Atlvertlaeuieulx of World's Fair Awards? Letters from both the Chief of Awards (on Agriculture) at the Chicago World's Fair, Mr. J. IS. llrowninp, and the Judge of Awards on Raking Powders, expose the falsity of the claim made in behalf of a Chicapo baking- powder that it received the highest award for leavenimr power, keeping qualities, purity and general excellence. The Judsre of Awards pays that tbi" claim is false, that no euch award was given to that baking powder. Mr. Drowning in his letter already published also shows that there was no award given to the Chicago company for the best baking powAVr. It now appears further that the analyses of the powder exhibited showed a baking powder made in New York altogether the superior of the Chicago powder 1n both purity and strength. The Government has prohibited the use for advertising purposes of the medals awarded by the Fair. It would be a great protection to the public .f the Government would also prohibit the publication of false claims such as those that have been exposed in relation to euch awards. The only official competitive test of a national character, from which consumers can obtain the actual facts as to the relative values of all the principal brands of baking powder of the country, is that made by the Agricultural Department at Washington, jj. C. It so happens that this was conducted by the same eminent chemist who acted as Judge of Awards at the Chicago Columbian Fair. As has already been published, at th's examination the Royal Raking Powder was found to be the superior powder and highest In leavening strength. MEETS IXSTAXT DEATH.
