BARKLEY TP., CONVENTION.

Tin-Democratic votera of Barkley Township, Jasper County* Indiana, are requested to meet at ( usy Palace school house on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, mi 2p. rn., for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to t>e voted for at the November election. John Kimhx.e, Chin. Hast Pre. Horatio Ropp, Chtn. West Pre. The Newton county council has lowered the county tax levy from 25J cents to 15J cents. The republicans will turn their spell-binders loose in Indiana on Sept. 20, it is announced. Notwithstanding Roosevelt's tour through Maine, it is thought that state will go republican again this fall as usual. And now Goodland is to have another paper, this one to represent the principles of democracy. Frank Davis of Morocco, the well known attorney, is to be its editor. Mr. Davis has hail former newspaper experience, and is well qualified to conduct an able and aggressive paper. The first issue will make its appearance Sept. 17, and it will lie called the Newton County Citizen. •Judge J, T. Snundersoti, of Fowler, Heiitou county, democratic candidate for app« ifate judge, accompanied by his wife, were in tincity Thursday and Friday, the guest of Mr. and Mrs Ftl Gresham. Mr, Sanudcfson was born and reared in tin's townshipand enlisted from here in the 2d Indiar a cavalry His father was Judge George 0. Snunderaon, an associate justice of this court under the ohl constitution. Judge Saunderson is n very affable gentleman, w as a good soldier, is a fine gentleman, and his home county should and undoubtedly will give him a handsome vote when the fall election comes.—Carroll County Citizen.

A PECULIAR COINCIDENCE.

A few weeks ago The Democrat indirectly charged that the local Knights of Pythias order was being prostituted to advance the political ambition of certain republicans politicians, and that advertising for the K. of P. carnival was given only to republican papers, ahd such papers as endorsed the candidacy of the machine nominees for the judicial offices. In support of that charge we wish to a few facts which must convince any unprejudiced man that our charge was not unfounded. Advertisements were given out as follows: To the Rensselaer Republican, Rensselaer Journal, Remington Press and Wheattield Telephone, in this county, all republican papers. In White county, in the Monon News and Wolcott Enterprise, both republicans papers. No advertising was done at Monticello, although on a direct line and only a short distance away, because the fellows who were running the “carnival” did not like the remarks of the Monticello papers about Rensselaer's winning the high school pennant, a few months ago. In Newton county, ndvertismeut was made in the Rose Lawn and Shelby News-Review, a neutral paper that is put in typo and printed in Rensselaer, and which has contained several articles favorable to the republican judicial “nominees.” Goodland has two papers, Brook one, and Morocco one, from each of which localities the carnival management could reasonably expect a number of people, yet not a line of advertising was given those papers. The three former are republican papers, but were forninst the judicial “candidates,” therefore were “cut” dead. The Morocco Courier is a genuinely neutral paper, but its editor is a democrat, therefore he got no advertisement. Had the Goodland Herald man been “seen” a little earlier he would have come in for an ad. But they go 3a miles away, to Fowler, in another judicial circuit and inaccessible to Rensselaer, and insert an ad in a republican paper, that then comes out in a lengthy editorial and advises the repuYilican papers of this circuit to “support” the judicial nominees! Strange, isn’t it ? There are numerous members of the order of Knights of Pythias in this circuit, who will hardly fendorse this prostitution their order to advance the political fortunes of certain members thereof, and we believe they will resist this prostitution at the polls in November. The Democrat editor has been a member in good standing of the order of Knights of Pythias (Goodland Lodge No. 141) for about lo years, and also, the past ten years, a member of the K. of P. endowment rank at Remington. However, our ritual don’t say anything about running the order in the intersts of any political pnrty or “going in cahoots” with gamblers. Anyone who has a lingering idea that trusts are a good thing should look at the dismantled water powers near Montieelio, where once were tlourshing industries. The water flowing over useless dnms represents the assets of Bradner Smith & Co., in the paper trust. Close up the small mills, shut oft competition and limit the output, then take advantage of the tariff which shuts out foreign competition and charge the consum. >rs all they will stand. This is the rule of the trust.—White County Democrat. The Attorney General has mnde a ruling that nominations this full for Township Trustee or Assessor, to All vacancies caused by dentil or resignation, are illegal. The law under which these oflicos now operate provides that an election shall be held in llHX), and every four years thereafter. Therefore appointees to fill vacancies must serve until the election in 11)04. There are j» number of instances throughout the state where nominations hnve been made, and which will be affected by this ruling. In Jasper county two trustees Walker and Keener and one assessor —Jordan—are appointees.

A HEROIC TEXAN.

lalr*tit<l n<3«*er Who rina Capture* Many Desperadoes. Easily one of the most interesting men In Texas is Captain Fred Beall, now of Forth Worth, but for years known all over the Lone Star State as an intrepid officer of the law. Since he was 20 years of age he has either been n statessor a United States officer, says a correspondent in the St. Louis Republic, and at one time or another lias had a hand in the apprehension of all the desperate gangs that infested this vast pi- ee of territory from east to west and I . ii the Mexican border to the northern end of the Panhandle. It is said of Captain Beall that he was prominent from the time of the wildest territorial disorder and depredation to the period of total renovation which

ended with the apprehension in Colorado of Tom Ketchum, the last of the Ketchum gang, and closed a reign of terror such as all new countries experience before the luw and order element gets tka upper hand und is as liable to go to extremes on the other tack. Fred Beall was born in Tarrant county, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, 48 years ago. His father was a rancher, and young Fred learned to ride a horse long before he could speak a sentence intelligibly. His first adventure was with the Bass gang, one of the oldest bands of desperadoes in Texas. A member of that gang named Barnes was a relative of the Bealls by marriage. One night on a raid of the country, shortly after they had robbed a Union Pacific train, some of the desperadoes came to the home of the Bealls and rified it Young Fred lost nearly all his belongings, and be naturally louged for revenge. He was 18 years old at the time, and with a saddle horse swift as lightning he joined the sheriff's posse that went in pursuit of the outlaws. They had been on the way for several days when they came upon the trail of the marauders on a Sunday just about church time. The street led by the little meeting house, in front of which the worshipers assembled when they learned that the sheriff's posse was near to run down tiie Barnes gang, which had just passed by. Fred Beall rode by the side of the sheriff and fired shot after shot into the ranks of the desperadoes, who were finally captured and turned over to the authorities. This gave him his first taste of adventure. At the age of 20 he was a state officer and from that time on as much the terror of the marauders as they were the bane of the law abiding element in the state. In innumerable skirmishes and battles with these desperate characters he was literally riddled with bullets. He can show now seveu wounds, and in every instance the lead passed clear through his body, several times barely missing a vital part. A knife wound once laid him up for % long time. He was arresting a desperate fellow whose drunken unties endangered the lives of citizens of Nolan bounty. As Beall led him along the street to land him in jail a crowd of his friends gathered to liberate the prisoner. “I held on to my man and tried to beat off my pursuers with the butt of m.y pistol,” snid Mr. Beall. “On the way to the jail one of them, a trifle more desperate than the rest, drove a kuife into my back. However, I didn't know it until I had reached jail several blocka away and delivered my man. “As 1 came out the blood, which had been running down into my left boot, tiad so filled it that my foot almost splashed in it. Even then I thought 1 would get home or to a doctor, but dizziness overtook me, nnd I fell in a heap. I was laid up with that wound for nine weeks, sod It helped not a little to turn my hair gray, for the Injury was Intensely painful. “Yes, I’ve looked death in the fac# many a time, but never more closely than when it grinned nt me out of the muzzle of u Wiu Chester iu the hands of a wotuan. “The Waldron gang made things pretty lively Just about that time. Old man Waldron won ii good man nnd a real friend of mine, but his sons turned out some of the most desperate characters in the state. They had been engaged in u bunk robbery when 1 wns detailed to run them down. We narrowed down uiiou them not far from the Waldron home nnd soon had them under control. As 1 enme back old Mrs. Waldrou, the mother of the boys, stood near her door leveling a Winchester nt me and crying out to me that she would shoot. “Well, the mouth of that Winchester looked just as big to me as my hat. I wouldn’t shoot at a woman, nnd if she bad shot at me—she hnd a good aim—she might have fiuished me. As it was, shs fired one shot, which hit my sleeve, and then dropped her gun, but it was th« closest call I believe I ever had."
