A Kniman writer in the Wheatfield Telephone scores the press of Rensselaer for the treatment it accorded the Kniman foot ball team after its recent visit here. We think the writer should have made his plaint a little more specific, by designating that part of the “press” to which he refers. The Democrat makes no pretensions to reporting any foot ball games, classing the “sport” in the same brutal category with prize and dog fights, anil thinks it should be prohibited by law, therefore the writer can’t mean us. We presume the epistle must have been directed against the Apologist which specializes foot ball and cock fights.

BARN BURNED IN JORDAN.

/V iTne barn on the farm of Mrs. Laura Michaels in Jordan tp.. was destroyed by tire early Monday morning, together wilh some 500 bushels of corn, 4 sets of harness, and other property, entailing a loss of over S7OO with no insurance. The farm was occupied by Julius Huff, and the corn destroyed belonged to both Mr. Huff and Mr. Michaels. jO’lie horses were rescued from the'barn with considerable difioulty, Mr. Huff being quite badly kicked on the leg and burned somewhat in getting them out. It is thought that Mr. Huff’s brother John, a wild and partly irresponsible fellow who has been living with them for a time, set fire to the barn for revenge, having had some trouble with his brother and family that day and vowing to ‘ get even.’’ He disappeared about the time the tire was discovered and has not been apprehended at this writing, although a diligent search has been instituted j by officers who have a warrant out for his arrest. A man answering his description pnssed through Foresman and Mt. Ayr Monday morning, and is thought to have caught the Motion locnl at Fair Oaks and gone north. He formerly staid at Hammond a great deal, and officers there are on the watch for him, but at this writing he has not been apprehended. There was about 1,200 bushels of corn in the cribs, but only about 500 bushels were a total loss. The other was damaged bqt was sold to feeders for 50 ceuts per bushel.

HARRY BINNEY ARRESTED.

Deputy United States Marshal Rankin of Indianapolis, came here Saturday and with Deputy Sheriff Robinson, went over near Mt. Ayr, where he arrested Harry D. Binney on the charge of sending an obscene letter through the mails, and took him to Lafayette where he was examined before United States Commissioner Severson and remanded to jail. The Binneys carnedo this county from Lucerne, Ind., several months ago, and for some time resided near Sharon, later moving over near Mt. Ayr. Young Binney is accused of sending an improper letter to Williard Mannis, of Lockport, Cass county, some time ago, when the family was residing at Lucerne. & See Lee’s line of new guns at McCoysburg.

DON’T KICK ALL KICKERS.

Bro. Schanlaub of that great religious weekly, the Morocco Courier, tells a long, rambling story about a traveling jehu who was advised to divide the grain in some bags that were strapped on his camels, instead of using rocks to balance them. This the jehu refused to do, and in the end realized large sums of gold therefrom. Then comes the moral, “Never listen to kickers.” Bro. Schanlaub was in all probability in fun about this, for in the same paper we read that certain “kickers” have successfully dissuaded the brother from railing at a struggling editor because of antagonistic views on the goose question, and devious other questions affecting the moral and spiritual well being of denizens of Newton county who have been frequently commented on in a ‘‘kicking” manner, though this same medium. “Kickers” are all right. They make the world better, they have righted many wrongs, and will right many more. They are much to be preferred to him who will condone any lapse of moral deportment, simply to enhance his bank account.

THE PRICE OF PEACE.

Jacob Lift has scored another tremendous triumph in his great production of “The Price of Peace” at McVicker’s Theatre, Chicago. The play which tells an enthralling and fascinating story is set so gorgeously and with such magnitude it fairly takes away the breath when seen. Besides this superb presentation of melodrama such treat productions as “Hearts Are Trumps,” “The Great Ruby,” “Sporting Life” and “C*>uo Vadis,” all of which have been made at McVicker's,*t' to comparative insignificant** aotu scenery, costumes, company, appointments, and ingenious mechanical effects nothing to compare with “The Price of Peace” has ever been shown on the Chicago stage, or on the stage of any theatre in America. This apparently reckless statement is borne out by the Chicago critics. The Record-Herald said: “It dwarfed into insignificance most exhibitions of its class. The advance promise of magnitude was fully redeemed.” The Tribune critic said: “The bill at McVicker’s will not have to be changed for a long time.” The InterOcean declared: “It is the best staged melodrama McVicker’s has known and it has known the best. Mr. Litt has out-Litted Litt.” The Post man said: “In respect to the magnificence of the presentation, the size of the company and the lavishness of the costuming and setting none of its predecessors is comparable with it.” The Chronicle thought “Scenes are superbly staged.” The News, Amy Leslie, thought, “Nothing other than endless triumph could be expected.” The Journal editor wrote: “It is a stupendous and magnificent success and ought to run all winter.” The American headed its review with the words "The Price of Peace’ is gorgeous.” The chorus of praise is unanimous. There will be special holiday performances Thanksgiving afternoon and night.
