Henry Flores had a somewhat narrow escape Saturday when his team became frightened at a yelping dog, spilling the contents of the wagon box, which consisted of Mr. Flores, a keg of nails, two bars of soap, a jug of oil and a can of syrup. Fortunately he did not receive any serious injuries and it is hoped he will soon recover from the might have been worse catastrophe. Mr. D. V. called at the Wynant Ranch Sunday. D. V. and L.

Are You Engaged? Engaged people should remember, that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided, by keeping their digestons in good condition with Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Betrnetsville, S. C., says: “For years, my wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy.” Long, the druggist, sells and guarantees them, at 50c a bottle.

Woman’s Kidneys. Women a;e more often afflicted with kidney disorders than men, but attribute the symptons to diseases peculiar to their sex, while in reality the kidneys are deranged. Netvousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, pain in the back, are signs of kidney trouble that must not be ignored, or a serious malady will result. Foley's Kidney Cure has restored the health of thousands of weak, nervous, broken down women. It stops the irregularities and strengthens the urinary organs. It purifies the blood and benefits the whole system. Sold by A. F. Long.

Purdue University Experiment station is sending out a warning for farmers to test their seed corn before planting. This is something that all good farmers generally do, and it sometimes saves them lots of extra labor and incidently many dollars also, for the farmer who has to re-plant seldom raises the crop of the one who doesn’t. C. D. Nowels returned Saturday from a trip to Parsons, Kan., looking after his farm near that city. While gone he also visited the family of his sister, Mrs. Robt. Randle, at Mexico, Mo. While down there last summer “Bob” was telling Mr. Nowels how nice it was to live in a democratic state, and was very enthusiastic over the fact that old Missouri was always found in the democratic column. Since Missouri was struck with the tidal wave of last November Bob doesn’t have much to say, but Mr. Nowels thinks he has some yearning to move to Texas. A horse belonging to W. L. Wood of Parr got loose during Saturday night and wandered out on the railroad and was struck by one of the north bound trains Sunday morning, near the river east of town, and killed, it being literally ground to pieces The horse was one Mr. Wood had bought in town Saturday and he had tied it in the rear of one of livery stables, intending to take it home Sunday morning. The cattle-guard near the grove was defective it is said, which enabled the horse to get out on the railroad. The animal was appraised at S7O, which the railroad company will be asked to pay. Starke County Republican: The Kankakee river ditch is proving its efficiency this spring in a manner most gratifying to persons interested. The water on the marshes is practically gone, and at no time this spring has a high stage of water been seen. When the snow was melting off, the water in the ditch would fall from four to six inches during the night, rising again when the snow melted during the day ran into it. This clearly proves that the ditoh is of sufficient size and has ample fall to take care of all of the water of the upper valley. There will be hundreds of acres of land hitherto covered with marsh and bogs planted to corn this spring.

FREE SEED CORN.

To the Editor: —The Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station desires to extend its work in the testing of varieties of corn to every county in the state and will be pleased to hear from farmers who would like to take part in the work. The object of these variety tests is to determine which varieties of corn are most profitable in the localities and to bring them to the notice of the people interested. After the best varieties of each locality have been determined, systematic work for their improvement will be taken up. Sufficient good seed of several varieties which seem to be suited to the locality, to plant about a quarter acre of each, can be sent, free of cost, to a limited number of farmers who will comply with the conditions of the tests, which will be explained upon request. Applications should be addressed to A. T. Wiancko, Agricultural Experiment Station, Lafayette, Ind. See the ladies’ new silk or covert jackets or long silk coats. Chicago Bargain Store.

A Short Recitation.

My parents, well meaning in their way, taught me solemn things about “O man immortal, live for something!” and all such, and I had to humiliate myself by disgorging them in public. The consequence was that not only on Friday afternoon, but whenever anybody came to visit the school, 1 was butchered to make a Roman holiday. But there is one happy memory of a Friday afternoon. Determined to show my friends and fellow citizens that I, too, was born in Arcadia and was a living, human boy, I announced to teacher, “I got another piece." “Oh, have you?" said she, sure of an extra O-man-immortal intellectual treat. “Let us hear it, by all means.” Whereupon I marched up to the platform and declaimed that deathless lyric: When I was a boy, I was a bold one. My mammy made me a new shirt out o’ dad's old one. Ail of It? Certainly. Isn’t that enough? That was the only distinctly popular platform effort I ever made. I am proud of it now. I was proud of it then. But the news of my triumph was coldly received at home.—Eugene Wood in McClure's.

DOYLE THE DASTARD

Now Charges That Lydia Scotl First Cut His Throat and Then Her Own. SHERIFF TO HOLD HIM TIGHT Hope* to Hang Him ts She Dies—Fake Ghost Scares Coal Miners — Indiana News. Anderson, Ind., March 23. Shirley Doyle, the assailant of Miss Lydia Scott, Is In jail, and will be held without bail until the result of Miss Scott’s wound is known. Her recovery continues In doubt, but Doyle, who slashed his own neck after cutting the throat of MHs Scott, will recover. Prosecutor Vestal states that he will not surrender Doyle, who Is on parole from the Jeffersonville reformatory, to the prison board. If Miss Slcott does not recover, the state’s attorney declares he will attempt to make Doyle pay the penalty of death for his attack on the young woman. Explanation* One from Martin Doyle. Martin Doyle, a brother of Shirley Doyle, was also arrested, and will lie held pending further Investigation of the tragedy. It was in front of Martin Doyle’s residence, six miles west of this city, that Shirley Doyle murderously used a knife or razor on Miss Scott, and then attempted to kill himself. His statements as to his knowledge of the attempted murder and suicide conflicted with the story of his little son and he could not explain satisfactorily to the officers why Miss Scott was allowed to lay in the yard at his home for nearly an hour after her throat was gashed, nor how bloodstained wearing apparel of Shirley Doyle and Miss Scott happened to be found In a garden at the rear of Martin Doyle’s house. Doyle Accnses the Girl. Dr. Garretson thinks It is remarkable that she did not die within a few minutes after she was wounded, as he says one jugular vein and the windpipe were severed. Miss Scott, by words that came In gasps, and by signs with her hands, said that Shirley Doyle cut her throat. When told of her accusation, Doyle accused Miss Scott of having attacked him with a razor. He said that after she thought he would die she had cut her own throat. Nice Man for a Sweetheart. Although only 26 years old, young Doyle has had a remarkable career in crime. Ho was twice sentenced to the Jeffersonville reformatory, having been convicted once of robbing a street ear conductor in broad daylight, and later of stealing his iiMither’s silverware. He was paroled twice. He lias also iieen under,arrest frequently for misdemeanors. and while In this city was under police surveillance most of the time. MINERS HEAR A SPOOK They Come Near Striking Until It I* Discovered To Be a Practical Joke. Williamsport, Ind., March 23. A strike at the Triber coal mine, near Carbondale. has been narrowly averted. The shaft of the mine is at the foot of a hill, on the top of which is a cemetery. The mine has been worked back under the hill. While the miners were at work,* and were talking of the city of tlie dead above them, a voice In sepulchral tones was heard, saying: “For forty years I have lain been unmolested. Why do you now disturb my long rest?” The voice startled the miners, which, as they listened, was again heard repeating the complaint. The miners lost no time iii reaching the surface of the ground, where they told their story and refused to return to work. An investigation was made as to the cause of trouble, and a pipe was found, which extended down to the level «f the coal, through which the digging of the miners could be heard. Some person, desirous of playing a prank, placed his mouth to the pipe and called down, as quoted, much to the fright of the men below. Corps* Shows Signs of Lift. Tell City, Ind., March 23. Mrs. Susan Sulzer, who apparently dropped dead ten days ago, as she was entering her home in Cannellton, and whose body was placed In the cemetery vault two days later, is believed by many persons to be alive. Her relatives are convinced that life Is not extinct, and a specialist from Cincinnati has been summoned and an investigation will be made. •‘Persistontly” Is Defined. Terre Haute, Ind„ March 23.—The three men whose discharge resulted in the strike at Jackson Hill and threatened to involve every mine In the state have been reinstated. The adjustment was left with Mine Superintendent Evans and District '.’resident Boyle, of the miners. 1 < sustained Boyle’s Interpretation ot the word “persistently” in reference to loading dirty coal. Girl with s Bard Hand. Marlon, Ind_, March 23. Merle Casey, a negro girl, 10 years old, fell down the elevator shaft of the Glass block from the third floor to the basement, alighting on her head on the concrete floor. The skull was not fractured and no bones were broken. She was able to stand and talk a few minutes after the accident

THE ELOPEMENT

He was a middle aged man, intensely respectable iu appearance and Inclined to portliness. On his return from bla office In the evening he found a letter waiting for him on the table in the hall. It was addressed to him In hla wife’s handwriting. He took it into the library with him, selected a comfortable chair in a good light and adjusted his reading spectacles. Here followeth the letter: “My dear George, I have eloped. If I say it in this plain and direct way, without periphrasis and without breaking it to you gently, it is because you must for some time past have been expecting something of the kind. I credit your intelligence with that. "We have been married ten years, and, as you pointed out the other day, we have never exchanged one angry word with each other. Somehow that seems to me to speak for Itself. The dead level of decency has never been disturbed. You, as a correct and orthodox solicitor, regard this with intense satisfaction. I confess that Ido not. To me the dead level has become —well, pretty deadly. It sounds perhaps an exaggeration, but I almost wish that you had on some occasion completely lost your temper with me and used me violently. Perhaps it would have been better still If you had permitted me to lose my temper with you. You never did. Your discretion and tact are beyond all praise. At the same time they have proved fatal to the woman who Is your wife. I have been through ten years of it. The time is up! “There is really a good deal of broken contract about it on both sides. Ten years ago I was pretty and you were romantic. It was understood between us—tacitly, I admit—that this kind of thing would continue. It was not continued. At the present moment lam quite well preserved and you are a solicitor, and we never exchange an angry word. Nor do we ever exchange a word of affection which could be fairly called hysterical or idiotic. “The fact Is that for the better part of ten years I have been acting a part magnificently. I have acted the part of a housekeeper so splendidly that at times I have deceived myself and believed that I really did take an Interest in the tradesmen’s books. Perhaps the self deceit went further than that. I deceived myself into believing that I really enjoyed the portentous and extremely dull dinners that we give every month. I deceived myself into believing that our well regulated and rather somnolent affection was the placid happiness of married lovers. But all the time romance has been alive in me, and the flame on the altar is not yet burned out. The flame will not burn forever. One gets older and older. The cold night Is coming. I have an hour still to enjoy. “All this came to me after you had left for the office this morning. You will never know how nearly I dashed your silk hat from your hand, kicked it across the hall and went into hysterics. That hat had somehow become the symbol of my ugly, well groomed, respectable life. I went Into the kitchen and gave orders (I was able to get the red mullet, after all), and then I went upstairs and packed. I have told the servants a plausible story, and yon may be able to save a scandal If yon back It. Really, there is nothing to be surprised about. Given gray monotony and a romantic woman and another, and what else can be expected? “And now you ask who the man la. Your eye flashes over your visiting list. Which of the men that have eaten your bread and your salt at your portentous dinners can have done this treacherous thing? You may make your in Ind quite easy, George. There is no man in the question. I have lately come to the conclusion that men are a good deal overrated. I am eloping all by myself, and I think it will be perfectly beautiful. I need not worry about money. My own £2OO a year will not give me the carriage with the two fat horses and the big house and the portentous dinner, but I have grown to value these things very little. Two hundred pounds will be quite enough for ine. By the time that you get this letter I shall be in Paris. I shall not write another letter, but you shall know my address from time to time. This will facilitate the work of the private detectives if you are idiot enough to waste any money on them. “And, seeing that I go all alone, perhaps it should not be called an elopement, hut simply a holiday. And if it is just a holiday It may one day be over, and then I may return to work again. I promise nothing.” The letter was signed with her Christian name. The man who had read it meditated for some time and then rang the bell. “Look here,” he said to the man who answered it, "there is some red mullet for dinner tonight I wish you’d Just find out from cook how she means to do It There should be wine in the sauce; some port Tell her so. She probably knows, but I want to make certain. Yes, and look here; go out and get me a stall for the Frivolity tonight. That’s all, thanks.’’—Barry Pain in Sphere.
