CHEAP COAL AT LOGANSPORT.

White County Democrat: The Logansport Journal is authority for the statement that the best hard coal is sold in Logansport to employes of the Pennsylvania railroad company at $2.65 per ton. It states that the coal at the mines costs $2 per ton, to which the railroad adds r freight charge of 65 cents, furnishing it to employes practically at cost. If coal can be furnished at this price by the Pennsylvania railroad company under present circumstances, there must be a big graft someplace along the line when people in Monticello are compelled to pay $7 to $7.50 a ton for coal in ordinary times, * and-the Democrat is satisfied the graft is not with our local dealers. The exorbitant freight rates is what makes coal high priced to ordinary consumers.

WISE WORDS, THESE.

Exchange: All law abiding people are interested in the conduct of political parties, not only at the polls but in the selection of candidates at the primaries and in the various conventions. Often the unworthy, who have more cunning than ability, by some trick deceives a majority of his party or controls by chicanery the representatives of the party and secures the nomination for an office for which he is wholly unsuited. This is a wrong to his party and its members, and as a rule in counties where that party is in power it is a wrong to the entire people. In such cases men do their party and the entire community an inestimable service by casting off party ties and voting to rebuke such trickery. Party bossism is one of the dangers to the perpetuity of free government. The independent voter who votes to rebuke wrong methods and establish the standard of merit above party success is his country’s benefactor. Consider well the man, his character, his ability and his integrity, and then, if you find no difference, vote for your party candidate, but let party be the last consideration. If one or more local candidates should go down in defeat the party would live on.

A PARODY.

I wandered to the grogshop, Tom. I stood before the bar, and , drank a glass of lemonade, and i smoked a rank cigar; the same old < kegs and jugs were there, the ones J we used to know when we were in , the roundup, Tom, some fifteen ( years ago. The barkeeper is a new * one Tom, the one who used to sell ' corrosive tanglefoot to us is stok- , ing down in H—alifax, the new i one has a plate glass front, his hair * is combed quite low, he looks just ' like the one we used to know some | fifteen years ago. Old soaks came , up and called for booze and dudelets staggered in and burned the lining from their throats with fine old Holland gin and women stood , outside the door, the faces seamed with woe, and wept just as they used to weep some fifteen years ago. I asked about our old friends, those cheerful sporty men, and some were in the poorhouse, Tom, and some were in the pen, and one —the one we liked the best—the hangman laid him low; the world is much tbe same, dear Tom, as fifteen years ago. I asked about the stately chap, whom pride marked for its own; he used to say that he could drink or let the stuff alone; he perished with the James H Jams out in the storm and snow; ah few survive who used the bowl some fifteen years ago. New crowds line up against the bar and call for crimson ink, new hands are trembling as they pour the stuff they shouldn’t drink, but still the same old watchword rings “this round’s on me you know,’’ the same old cry of doom we heard some fifteen years ago. I wandered to the church yard Tom, and there I saw the graves of those who used to drown themselves in red fermented waves; and there were women sleeping there where grass and daisies grow, who wept and died of broken hearts some fifteen years ago. And there were graves where children slept, have slept for many a year, forgetful of the woes that marked their short sad journey here; and neath a fine tall monument, in peace there licth low, the man who used to sell us booze some fifteen years ago. —Exchange,

Prominent Young Farmer of Near Remington Sues Hie Father-In-taw for Alienation of His Wife’e Affections. Another sensational suit was filed in the Jasper circuit court last Saturday, the plaintiff being John McLaughlin, a prominent young farmer residing with his father, P. H. McLaughlin, £ mile north of Remington. The defendant, Scott Russell, is also very prominent being one of Carpenter township’s wealthiest and best known farmers. He resides about 2 miles west of Remington, on the Goodland road. The marriage of the parties was rather a secret affair, and it is not generally known even at this time that either were married. The marriage is alleged to have taken place at Kentland, we are informed, but as they never openly lived together—because as alleged, on account of the young lady’s father being so bitter over the matter—the fact was not generally known, The complaint is quite voluminous, and we give it in full .below: Pabaqbaph I. The plaintiff in the above entitled cause complains of the defendant above named (Waiter S. Russell) and for cause of complaint herein says: That thia plaintiff Is now 27 years of age and on or about the Bth day of October, 1901, this plaintiff and one Della Russel were duly and legally married and at the said time became husband and wife and ever since that date have been and are now husband an 4 wife.

and is now ready and willing to look after and care for the said Della McLaughlin as his wife. Plaintiff further says and alleges the fact to be that marriage is the most sacred and holy relation to divine or human law; that It is an institution ordained by God, sanctioned by all the nations of the earth; that it is the foundation of society and a school of morals; that It was declared by the Mosaic Law that a man should cleave unto its wife and they two should be one flesh.
