Seven dead and seventy-five injured, principally on Western gridirons, is the casualty record of the football season of 1901. Hon. Joseph Sleeper, of Benton county, was in Goodland Saturday morning, accompanied by Dr. Cronk, of Wolcott. Mr. Sleeper will make a fight for the district chairmanship and is now getting his fences in order. He has friends in Newton county.—Goodland Herald. The Standard Construction Co., capital stock SIOO,OOO, with headquarters at Lafayette, was incorporated last week. The directors are Allen R Jewett, Addison Bybee, N. W. Box, Hiram Kerlin, A. A.

Last Sunday’s Indianapolis Sentinel was a hummer—4B pages and an 8-page art supplement. The issue was the largest ever gotten out by any Indiana paper and compared favorably with the Sunday editions of Chicago and New York. The Sentinel is now located in its fine new building and has a complete new mechanical equipment, unequaled in the state. With the new facilities at hand for producing an up-to-date paper we may confidently expect that the “Old Sentinel” will be better than ever. „

The publication of the Noblesville Democrat will be resumed by iL M. Isherwood, its former ownsee, the chattel mortgage he held *oa the plant having been foroclos<ed, placing him once more in posrsession of the same. The criminal proceedings instituted by the parties whom Mr. Isherwood sold the plant to last winter for alleged fraudulent representations regarding the business of the paper seem to have been dropped, as we hear nothing further regarding them. The whole proceeding was evidently a bluff by the inexperienced “Wolverines'’ who purchased the plant, bluffs don’t go very far with a man of Isherwood’s experience in the newspaper business. Up to this time the men on George Lightcap’s last bond as county treasurer have pnid $3,624.45 on the execution issued against them for the balance due the county, leaving, including interest, something like S3OO still unpaid. The remainder it is said will be paid in a few days. One of the bondsmen, James Wilson, has scheduled, as noted last week, and thus avoided payment of his share. Another, Amos Laramore, has notified .Sheriff Uncapher that he is entirely unable to pay, so their shares will have to be made up by other bondsmen. • The matter now looks as though it would be closed up, so far as the county’s interest is concerned, in a few days, unless some further complication and causes for delay ’ arises.— Starke County Democrat.
