And it came to pass in the days of Roosevelt that two of the sons of America concluded a trade of international importance! in which two pedigreed pigs were exchanged for a calf of the highstepper rank.

When he drove himself around without a buggy she exclaimed, “Eureka." He said, “My dear, it is the style in Russia to walk,” and behold they did walk the entire distance.

We saw in a nondescript paper a few days ago a wholesale attack upon the correspondence department of The Jasper County Democrat which was an insult to every scr>be on the staff. We are prepared to say without moral reservation that any man, angel or whatever be is, that advocates the batting of the correspondents, must remember that in a batting tournament, we are able to do a little share. He that advocates this plan of viciousness is a worse enemy to society than a red-handed sprig of anarchy, you don’t like The Democrat, let it alone. You are not compelled to read it. In the face of all the combined attacks of its enemies, The Democrat will live and grow. Long live the Democrat and may its influence spread until all the nations of eanh will rise up and call it blessed.

Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitlonal cure on market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

CONZMAN GIVES BAIL

Wrecker of the Vigo County Na* tional Bank Is Held in $lO,000 Bond. STATE AFTER HAAS, THE THIEF Bank Takes a Bad Piece of Paper Carrie Nation Seems Persona Non Grata—ltems. Terre Haute, Ind., July 28.—Gua A. Conzman, formerly cashier of the failed Vigo National bank, waived preliminary bearing before United States Commissioner A. M. Higgins, and was held to await action of the federal grand jury, which meets In November. He furnished bonds for SIO,OOO. Conzman is charged with embezzling SI,OOO of the bank's funds. Reward Offered for Haas. Crawfordsville. Ind., July 28. Descriptive circulars have been sent broadcast, offering a reward of $250 for the apprehension of Harry Haas, the absconding bookkee]>er of the People’s bank at Darlington. The reward includes also 5 per cent, of all the money recovered. Nothing has been heard from him since Monday night, when he boarded an interurban car at Lebanon for Indianapolis. Newton Flannigau. the chum who drove Haas to Crawfordsville and accompanied him as far as Lebanon, is being held as an accessory.

Flannigan Explains His Action. Flannigan Insists that he knew nothing of the robbery, and explains how he tried to shield Haas, and throw the officers off the track for an altogether excusable reason. This story is generally accepted, and Flannigan will have no trouble in giving bail. It develops that in looting the bank Haas swept the contents of the reserve fund into his suit case, but did not molest over $5,000 of dejxisits In an adjoining tray. Taken In by a Stranger. Wabash, Ind., July 28. Several days ago a stranger called at the store of Beitmau, Wolf & Co., this city, and indicated that he desired to make a few purchases, but he was short of change. He offered to turn in a certificate of deposit on the Bank of South Whitley. His manner was plausible, and the certificate was accepted, the stranger receiving SBG in change. The certificate was deposited for collection in the Wabash bank, and after a short time was returned unpaid, the South Whitley blink asserting that a duplicate had been issued for llie original last August, and that the certificate held by Bettman, Wolf & Co. was void.
