DISMISSED BY PROSECUTOR.

Cate* Against John F. Judy and Samuel P. Hunter Dropped. Frankfort, Ind., April 29.—1 n the Circuit Court, at 11:30 a. m., to-day, Prosecutor Moss filed a written motion to dismiss the case against John F. Judy and Samuel P. Hunter, well-known citizens of Judyville and Lafayette, accused of grand larceny. The principals were indicted by grand jury at Lafayette; the case against Hunter being dismissed that he might testify against Judy. At the trial the jury failed to agree, and the case was brought here on change of venue. Mr. Moss states that he was unable to secure financial aid from the court at Lafayette to prosecute the case, and that there did not appear to be sufficient testimony upou which to insure conviction.

SAW RENSSELAER SNAKES.

George Duggins was fined $5 and trimmings Saturday for a Slain drunk by Squire Irwin. .In efault of payment he was sent to jail, a buraen on the taxpayers, to lay the amount out. Sunday be developed a case of delirium tre- . mens and kept the sheriff and family up most of Sunday night and required the services of a doctor and hypodermic injections to quiet him. Towards morning he again became restless and either fell or butted his bead against an iron projection on his cell door, cutting a big gash and raising a “hen egg” on his cranium. He had bled profusely when the sheriff went to look after him and the cell resembled a slaughter house, while his clothing was soaked with blood, Just received, our Hominy Meal at Rensselaer Feed Store.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.

Nlneteen-Year-Old flonon Lad Forges John Eger's Name to Bank Checks. J. R. Wickum, a young lad from Monon was brought here Friday evening by W. C. Sutton and Dan Fairchild of Demotte and lodged in jail, charged with forgery. Young Wickum has been working in a livery stable at Monon, where his mother resides, but was about Rensselaer a few days last week, Friday morning he left town on the milk train and later landed at Demotte. There he made some purchase at a store and passed a $lO check on the Ist National bank of Rensselaer with John Eger’s name signed thereto. Later he went to Sutton & Fairchild’s store and bought a pair of slioes, presenting a check for sl2 made out to J. C. Witham and endorsed on the back by the name of the payee. Here he also was given the difference in cash. Mr. Sutton soon became suspicious that all was not right and set out to find the young man, locating *him at Troxell’s hotel. He was brought to Rensselaer and Saturday morning was given a freliminary hearing before Squire rwin and bound over to the circuitcourt in bonds of SSOO. Failing to give bond he was returned to jail, ==- —= He had told Sutton <fc Fairchild that he had worked for Mr. Eger for several months and that the j check was for balance of pay for his services, but he had not worked here at all and the latter testified that he had never seen him before. The forgery was a bungling job. A casual examination of the check would convince anyone that it was not right. -Young Wickum’s-elder brother is said to have lately completed a term in prison for cattle stealing, and it is very likely that this lad will be given a safe refuge to repent over the way of the transgressor for a year or two at at least.

Lakey, Miss Julia K. was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to William Stalbaum, of Asphaltum, Ind., Father Horstman, of Reynolds officiating. Miss Anna M.

The young people are eminently fitted for each other and they start out on their new life under most favorable circumstances. Forty-three guests, the immediate neighbors, attended the reception following the marriage ceremony. The presents received by the young couple were many, costly and useful. May happines, prosperity and content be theirs in the future, is our wish. Read The Democrat for news.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capitol. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: Washington has been treated to a sensation during the past week, a sensation of such proportions that it will curtail the President’s trip and bring him back to the Capital“a week earlier than he had expected to return. Herbert W. Bowen, United States Minister to Venezuela, and Francis B. Loomis, Assistant Secretary of State, are the chief figures in the affair which promises to end in the dismissal from the public ser. vice of at least one of these officials, possibly although improbably, both. t t t It appears that some time ago Minister Bowen filed, officially, charges against Secretary Loomis, who has at one time been Minister to Venezuela. In brief, these charges are to the effect that as Minister, Mr. Loomis accepted SIO,OOO from the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company in compensation for his services in their behalf; that Mr. Loomis purchased a claim of 14,000 against the Venezuela government and used his influence to collect it; and that Mr. Loomis undertook to collect a claim for a Mr. Meyers for a commission of one seventh of $1,400,000. Mr. Bowen forwards these charges to Secretary Taft, over his own signature, and Secretary Taft forwarded the communication to- the President who was already in the west. t t t

Not content, however, with having done this, Mr. Bowen grew impatient at hearing no echo of the serious charges he had preferred and he furnished the details of the charges to a certain newspaper correspondent in Caracas. The whole story was then mailed to this country and appeared in large type on the front page of one of the New York dailies. Even were the charges true, Minister Bowen was guilty of a grave indiscretion and violation of courtesy in making them public in advance of some reply to his communication to Secretary Taft and only unpardonably bad judgment or ungovernable spleen against his superior officer could account for this course. t t t When the charges were first made public Mr. Loomis was absent from Washington but immediately on his return he furnished to the newspapers a catagorical denial of each and all of the charges. He explained that he had one financial transaction with the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company, but only to the extent of changing his check on a Venezuelan bank for the Company’s check on a New York bank when he left Caracas at the conclusion of his service as Minister, this being not trirusual among American Ministers in Caracas and elsewhere, where the rate of exchange is high and sometimes exchange cannot be secured at any price. Of course the transaction was unimportant and could not place either party under obligation to the other, may even have been a mutual accomodation. Every other transaction undertaken by Mr. Loomis as a Minister to./.Venezuela, he declares, he undertook only as a-re-sult of explicit instruction from the Secretary of Btate. Beyond this denial. Mr. Loomis has declined to discuss the charges. t + t That an official statement from one of Secretary Loomis’ superiors will be ultimately made is! generally assumed and it is regarded as probable that the ne-1 cessity of issuing such a statement! has played an important part in I

determining the President to curtail his hunting trip. There are however, other questions of imof importance which await the attention of the President. There are, for instane, some questions connected with the Panama problem which be must consider at an early day. One of these is the disposition that is to be made of John Barrett, now Minister to Panama. Barrett is desirous of securing promotion and in any event it is unlikely that be can retain his present position. Another question which will demand the President’s attention in the near future is the disposition of the engineer members of the Panama Canal Commission to make trouble because they regard themselves as somewhat overslaughted in the present organization of the Commission. t t t Still another question which will compel the attention of the President at no distant date is the constantly increasing Treasury deficit. This has now assumed somewhat alarming proportions, -being, at practically the end of Apr il,s 30,000,000. Treasury experts claim that it will be reduced during the next two months and this is not improbable as many funds appropriated by Congress have been exhausted, but it is frankly admitted that it cannot possibly be reduced to anywhero near Secretary Shaw’s estimate of $18,000,000. t t t Secretary Shaw has made one of his extravagent and thoughtless statements to the press, in which he says that a $30,000,000 deficit is “a mere nothing,” that for a great and prosperous country it should not be regarded as of any importance and that, in fact, “it means no more than sl£to the average sndividual.” The Secretary apparently forgets the fact that so great are the expenses of the Government that once the balance is transferred to the wrong side of the federal ledger it grows with astounding rapidity and has been known to wipe out a large surplus in an astonishinly short time, as was the case in the Harrison administration. t t t Of course Secretary Shaw hopes to belittle the situation because he is an arch “stand-patter” and cannot sleep whenever anyone has suggested revising the precious tariff schedules. Of course a the growing deficit gives increased impetus to demand for tariff revision which everyone but the protected interests appreciates is necessary. It will be remembered that the McKinley tariff bill deprived the country of a large percentage of its revenue because its rates were so high as to be prohibitory and, little being imported, little duty was paid. The same condition of affairs has now been reached with the Dingley bill. Cost of production in many lines has decreased and now the Dingley rates are practically prohibitory.

The Hawthorne is identical with the cream separator that received the Gold Medal at the St. Louis Exposition last year, in competition with the world. The expert judges acknowledged it to be the best skimmer in the world; easily cleaned; sure to be sweet; safe, and easy to operate. Our dairy manager has made tests with the Hawthorne that show it to leave less than one onehundredth of one per cent of butter fat in the skim milk in December, and even do better than this during the summer. It Will skim closer than any other separator at any price, and is, in reality, the same separator, only sold by us under another name, that is usually sold for $65.00 (for No. 1), $85.00 (for No. 2), and SIOO.OO (for No. 3). We will gladly send you a full description* of the Hawthorne; or we will send you for free examination either site you desire, without advance deposit of any kind, if you follow our directions in “Paragraph 3" on page 3of our No. 73 Catalogue. But the best plan is to send the cash with your order, get and use the separator, and then decide as to its merits. If you'll take your money back fbr It, after you’ve used it, you can have it for the asking. Now we have made it possible for everyone to own a perfect cream separator. There is no excuse for your doing without, now, or for putting up with an inferior machine any longer. Send in your order today and have the separator to use at once. I 0
