FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1897. SSSBefore you subscribe for any farm paper this year, be aure to end for a specimen copy of that great weekly paper, The Prairie Farmer, of Chicago. It is the best weekly farm paper published. It is now in its 57th year. Special clubbing price will be made to all of our readers. See adv. in another column. aerllon. A. H. Taylor says the mines on the Juneau river, Alaska, he is interested in are panning out well. Judge Melien, a former cititen of Boonville, and Mr. Taylor are forming another stock company, to push mining on some new claims thev have registered on that river, and expect to start men at work as soon as weather will admit next spring. He says these mines are much easier of access than those on the Klondike.
A Rkally Fink Addrkss Mrs. Allie Anderson, of Francesville.and State Organizer and Lecturer for the W. C. T. U , on Wednesday night held a meeting at the Methodist church in Jasper, and delivered an eloquent address, forcibly urging the great necessity for looking after the welfare of the rising generation if the liberities and morals of the State are to be preserved. aWThe Evanaville Courier urges that there should be a union of the gold-bugs with the Democracy be fore another election. When those gold bugs endorse the Democratic platform, including free coinage, the Democrats can't keep them from voting the ticket. But the party was well rid of roost of them , and it is to be hoped they will adhere to the Republicans, where they went last year. The Democratic farty is no place for people who be ieve money is more sacred than humanity, and those plutocrats only injure the party when they come to it. This is attested in the recent elections by the loss of Ohio through millionaire McLean, and Maryland through protectionist Gorman. Democracy will thrive better without millionaire leaden.

the Desk Co. to erect afire hydrant the full limit of four weeks L.r the

Melchior told the Board that it was necessary to put a culvert on Newton street at 12th, so as to carry off the water of heavy rains, which now backs up there. The Board agreed to have one placed there. Mr. Chas. Krempp made a proposition to the Boord to lay the new watermains, but the Board did not decide the question of acceptance or rejection. They will examine into the question first. Mr. Krempp also offered to sell them iron tubing 15 inches in diameter, for culvert use, for 50 cents per running foot.

A Nasser ef Hawses Ueroofed aas Coo-
slier able Damage Dooe.
On Monday night last the town
of Hay s vi lie waa visited by a young
tornado, and about a thousand dol
lara damage done. The roof of Mr.
Tom Himsel's residence was blown
off : also that of Mr. George Kieff-
ner and that of John Danhoefer.
The engine house of Mr. J. W
Harder was wrecked, and the ma
chine shed of Mr. Geo. W. Leistman. The roof of Mr. Geo. Kiefner's large log barn was blown off, and several of the top logs, some large ones 40 feet long and 6x10 inches, being carried nearly 100 feet. The large two story house of Mr. John A. Opel, adjoining the town on the south, was moved from its foundations about 15 inches, and twisted some. Mr. Opel was the only one whose property was injured who carried tornado insurance and be ia glad he bad it, as the insurance company will pay for the necessary repairs. A good many of the people of the town were terribly frightened, and it is said some of them prayed who never prayed before. For a short time the excitement was very high, but as the storm passed over quickly it soon subsided. Highly Syaaatketk.
It was said a most sympathetic
scene oc cured in the court room last week, during the Solomon trial,
when the general sympathy lor a
woman in delicate circumstances, and two little children, was urged before the jury in an impassioned
appeal for the defendant's acquittal,
and that me iouowing imm me Atlanta Constitution is an apt description of the facts :
The case it was lookin' so dark fer Jim
With the lawyera talkin' on,
Thai wuin't no hone in the world fer
him, And he iuit five no fer tone!
Fer the very lawyer that took Jim's ride,
In the very middle, bunt out an cnea !
But Providence moves in the queerest
way, The Judge, with hii notes in view, Seein,' the lawyer cry that day, Bust oat a-cryin' too t
An' the jury followed the judge, in' then The iberia cried while he yelled
"Amen." An' then la a man the Jury rix An' hollered, "Not guilty, Jim!" An' hii lawyer fell on that neck o' his An' cried all over him !
But he whispered, after that victory
iweepin , "Fifty extra, old boy, fer weepin'!"

The Board sojourned, talking.

FerdioaasV-Grave Yard Deiecratioa. Ferdinand, Ind., Nov. 8, '97. Editor Jaspks Courier: As reported, the Dubois Co. Grand Jury at its recent session, returned 143 indictments for various misdemeanors. Most of these indictments will, in a short time, be found to be against the saloon-keepers of this county. Be that as it may, I wish to state one fact, however, (and very emphatically, too !) and that is, that there are misdemeanors (nay crimes, committed in this town that deserve to be punished a thousand times more severely than the sale of a glass of beer on Sunday, or any other of the misdemeanors that saloon-keepers are charged with. I refer to the defacing and break -

grand jury for investigation, and to the courts for punishment, it is this! If it has come to such a pass, that not even the gra'es of our beloved dead are secure from the hands of such vandals, then we may indeed exclaim with Cicero of old, "O tem-
pora,
O mores!"
I. for one, am not paiticularlv in
love with that institution known as the grand jury. I have never had occasion to make its acquaintance, and neither have I any desire to do so; but if I had the least knowledge as lo who the perpetrators of such acts (as named) are, I would be only too glad to appear before thit august body, and say "my little piece . ' ' In my humble opinion there is no punishment severe enough for curs who will stoop so low as to transfer their field of dastardly operations to a place which, above all others, should ba sacred to even the lowest outcast of society. In conclusion I will say this. Ferdinand is a good town in many respects. I, as one of its citizens, am proud of it. It has a good set of business men ; has business interests which we fail to find in many larger towns ; supports its schools and church in a handsome manner; its citizens are, in general, respectable and law-abiding; and for these reasons it is with so much the greater regret that I write this article in denunciation of an act which is out of place in a civilized community. If it had occurred but once, I would have kept "mum" on the subject ; but as it has been repeated, I concluded it no more than proper to denounce it publicly, for that, I think, is the first step in rooting out evil. Collin Clout.

Well dressed men, are generali self-respecting persons and, then
