A. LEWIS IN TROUBLE.

Hoopeston (Ill.,) Chronicle: A. Lewis came from Lafayettg to Hoopeston some time ago and established a cigar factory and reading room in winch he sold what he said were soft drinks. Among the drinks were some that were suspicious, and they were examined by experts. Some of the samples were found to be free from alcohol, and some were found to be pretty well loaded. About twenty witnesses went to Springfield Tuesday night and a trial was held in the United States circuit court on Wednesday. The evidence was all in Wednesday evening and the case was argued Thursday morning. Lewis was fined SIOO and sentenced to jail until the fine was paid. Adolph Lewis formerly conducted a cigar factory in Rensselaer, moving from here to Lafayette and later moving to Hoopeston, 111. It is presumed that he is the Lewis above referred to.

BOUGHT IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Mr. August Voss, living near Remington, has just returned from Lisbon, North Dakota, where he accompanied Wm. B. Donohue for the purpose of looking over Ransom county and to buy some land, if it suited him. Mr. Voss was so well satisfied with the country ntid conditions that he bought 820 acres within a mile of Lisbon, the county seat, with all the advantages of an up-to-date city, us you can find them only in the west. The gentleman speaks very highly of this portion of the state,especially of Ransom county, as being a tine agricultural country. The soil is a deep black loam, capable of producing the richest kind of vegetation. Crops were looking well and much advanced over other parts of the country passed through. This is especially true of corn. The gentleman speaks of a 140 acre field of corn looking tine and several inches in height. The event.of Mr. Voss—who is looked upon as a level headed man —buying a farm in North Dakota in preference to a good farm here in Indiana, is another evidence of the fact that those people who want to make a good safe investment that will pay them good interest on their money and double the principal in a few years, or those who want to build themselves a good home, cannot do better than to go and look over this promising country and convince themselves of the facts that are stated by men whose words cannot be doubted.’ Mr. Wm. B Donohue, the traveling representative of the John Mullen Land Co , is going to make a trip from this place every week for some time to come. This will give everybody ample opportunity to go, but those that go first will always get the best bargains. *

TOM McCOY’S RESIGNATION.

White County Democrat: It is rumored that Thomas J. McCoy will soon tender his resignation as a member of the Republican State Central Committee. Owing to circumstances over which he at present has no control Tom's enjoyment of his political distinction as a party leader is somewhat shaded, and he is inclined to seek some secluded spot to meditate over his sins of commission, omission and remission. The do say that Tom McCoy has resigned as chairman of the Tenth District Republican committee. Surely the politicians will not force Tom to quit simply because he swindled people out of many thousand dollars? Besides it has been but a few months you well know since these same politicinns and the press of the district were assuring the people that no one could attend to the job of chairman as well as Tom had done. Guess they were right, too, as it will be hard to find another man who will tap the deposits of customers of a bank for funds to run the Republican campaign. In view of this fact surely Tom should not be forced to resign merely because his victims threaten to attempt to send him to the penitentiary.—Lake County News. Warren Review: “The McCoys whose bank closure for liquidation was in fact, an awful failure, it is said, were very liberal and philanthropic. They gave publicly to the poor. They used to give banquets to the teachers and take them to the theatres in ' a body. It has been their custom to give the widowed families of Rensselaer Christmas turkeys. The poorer people who had any money entrusted it to the McCoys because they were generous to the poor. It has long been a common practice of men who were skinning the people to pose as philanthropists, and, making the people accept them as such, skin them the deeper, and with the less difficulty. ()ur great and glorious country is being dotted today with fine library buildings and great pipe organs out of funds that have peen obtained by unfair means, which the music made by these instruments might well be termed as miseries.

McCOY BANK BUILDING SOLD.

The sale of the McCoy bank building, which includes the store room occupied by I. Tuteur and the rooms above the bank, occupied by Foltz & Spitler, was sold Tuesday to Delos Thompson, cashier of the new Rensselaer State Bank, which is now occupying the building, and Frank Foltz and C. G. Spitler. The price was $20,025. This is an increase of $25 over the bid of W. B. Austin (erroneously published in The Democrat last week as the bid of Delos Thompson). After the latter bid IJr. Chapman telegraphed Mr. Austih, but the latter declined to raise his bid and requested a return of his forfeit money deposited with the bid. Mr. Austin, it was reported, desired the bank building for quarters to start a new national bank. One-fifth of the purchase price goes to Mrs. A. McCoy. It has been reported that the latter would devote this sum to paying some of the widows who lost money in the bank, but whether there is any foundation for the rumor or not, we are unable to state.

TAX ON POOL TABLES VALID.

The Lebanon city ordinance, taxing pool tables $250 each a year, was held valid by. the supreme court last week. The judgment fining Fred Wysong for keeping an unlicensed pool table was affirmed. Wysong had four pool tables, and had not paid any license fees at all. The attorneys for Wysong insisted that such a tax could only be justified as a revenue measure, and the legislative authority to regulate, restrain or license gave no power to enact an ordinance for raising revenue. Judge Gillett holds that the' keeping of pool tables for hire is a proper matter for the exercise of the police power. Moreover, he holds such business serves no useful end, and while it may perhaps in some instances be conducted in an innocent manner, yet the places where pool tables are kept are often the “nurseries of vice and crime.” In fixng a license fee, it is proper to take into account, not oxdy the direct expense of all the incidental consequences that are likely to subject the public to cost as a result of carrying on a business, and. as applied to harmful employments, he said it is to be inferred that the purpose of granting the power to license was to “keep the business in leash, rather, than to permit it to flourish.”

McClintock for shooting young John Thornton in the leg, was dismissed when called up before ’Squire Irwin Monday. It was agreed that the woman would stay away from Rensselaer and the prosecuting witness consented to the dismissal of the case. An Indianapolis telegram says that prominent liquor men from that city will visit Hammond, Valparaiso, La Porte, Michigan City and other cities in Northern Indiana within the next three weeks for the purpose of organizing a local society composed of saloon men for mutual protection. Fowler Leader: A firm in Goodland was sued for an unpaid subscription to the Lotta Carnival Company. The trial was held last week. The jury decided that the street fair was a detriment rather than a benefit, and decided in favor of the defedant. Similar cases agaist ,Jphn Condon and Hamilton were pending, but were dismissed. p-A story comes from Jordan township which is certainly a new one in the chicken —or crosling, rather —eating line. Mark Reed kept missing young goslings, and finally a,calf was caught catching them and eating them. Members of the family saw the calf at the work and there can be no question of its truth. Altogether it ate nine goslings and killed three others. This puts the chickencatching bog in the background.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Smith of Knimau, passed through town Monday on their way home from a visit with the former’s two brothers and sisters, who reside on the old homestead one mile north of Wolcott, in White county. Mr. Smith’s parents located on this farm in 1850, moving from Tippecanoe county, and it ha& been in the family since. At that time there was but one house between their place and Monticello, and few west until the Illinois state line was reached. Mr. Smith has hunted deer all over the section of the country about Wolcott, Seafield and Reynolds in the early settlement of that country. From a territory covered with lakes of water and swamps, a great deal of it has developed into one of the most fertile spots in Indiana.
