- OQur Albion Column. BY INGOMAR. », 1891 has openad up ready for business. ‘ How many new resolutions will last the year out? | Alas! how many of us will see the end of the year. - Every moment dies a man, every ‘moment one is born. : , Marvin Kuhns is very anxious just now to be tried in Noble county. Thurlow Phillips, after an absence of several months, has returned to town. : \ ; Geerze Kinnéy and wife, of Momence, lllinois, spent several days here with friends last sweek. Same old George. - ‘ Watts Denny,” Esq.. now a rising young lawyer of Fort Wayne, was also here last week for a day or two, and reports things bgoming.‘ . Our people were saddened over the news of the deat.?l of Joseph W. Gesaman, of York, who was, until recently, an honored citizen of our township a number of years. - John Ohlwine, ' county superintendent, has fully recovered from his recent illness, and is in full harness again. John is filling his position with general satisfaction. ; ’ Harry Askew, of the Avilla News, and his wife, spént a couple of days with his parents here during the holidays, and being full of turkey and other good things, tore themselves away. : : Frank Kimmell has returned and taken up once more hisresidence here. He has been farming in Missouri for a year or so, but; after all, ‘‘there is no place like home’’ when one gets away from it. . l The last ¢‘school-mam day”’ was blizzardly in the extreme. Nothing ‘daunted, however, the young men and women Wwere on. hand to undergo exomination, and we hope all of them got; a license, for their pluck showed very good material. Some of our society ladies are puzzled to know what the ¢decollety” style of dress is, of which they read so much. Whether it is intended to introduce it here, we are not yet informed; but the lady who keeps us posted in such matters has given us an amazing account of the discussion. Uncle John Me¢Means has so far recovered from his recent injuries as to be able to be on our streets occasionally. ' These old pioneers who fifty years ago and more were the stalwart men of our county, like the giant trees of our woods. are slowly disappearing and but few of them are left. . A daring genig® is perfecting the model. of a ton&' which he wants erected in Chicago next year that will be 1492 feet hich. That would be 492 feet higher than the famous Eifel tower which attracted so mueh attention at the last world’s fair held. in'Paris. A city that builds sixteen story houses can sureiy -put up such a tower. - James Roscoe and Dr. Norman Teal started Monday for Indianapolis, to enter upon thojx duties as lawmakers, and their dﬁm@ there will be watched with no little interest by the people of the county. There is much neéded legislation in some matters of special interest to taxpayers, and these gentlemen, we have no doubt, will meet the just expectations of their constituents. The time has come, in our judgment, when the legislature should take out of the circuit courts the entire probate business of the state and put it in probate courts organized in each county. Such a change we feel sure would meet the hearty approval of the bench and bar of the statef and be a great benefit to those who manage probate trusts, and greatly expedite the settlement of estates. Probate business now occupies too much of the time of our circuit courts. What we: want is a provate court kept open every day. Major McKinley, chairman of the house committee on ways and means, introduced the other day a bill to appropriate twenty-five thousand dollars to enable the secretary of the treasury to pay the duty on a lot of articles the| government had imported from Europe for use in our seacoast lLight houses. How is that? We were told all through the last campaign that the foreign manufacturer always paid the import duties. McKinley told the people so in his district. Besides, we have some of the largest plate glass manutactories in the world here in the| United States. Why did not the government patronize home manufactures? What an ufter, shallew humbug and fraud is this whole protection system. Another matter should, I think, receive the attention of our legislature. The majority eof the inmates of our penitentiaries, 1 am told, are married men and have families. In these penal establishments all able-bodied men are required to work, and the work of each represents so .much money per month. . Those interested in the management of our state prisons are able not only to make their institutions pay their expenses, but also to inerease their own individual emoluments. Hundreds of men in our penitentiarieshave families at home who are poor and in want, and too many of them, no doubt, are mainly or altogether a charge on the taxpayer for their support. Why should not these cenvicts who have famiiies contribute to their support? Let the legislature pass a law that one-half of the earnings of convicts whe have tamilies shall go ‘monthyy to their families, to be paid by the county treasurer of the proper county, and the state give him credit ‘therefor in his settlement as treasurer with the state; or in ony other way, so the comvict’s family gets it. We think this matter is worth legislative consideration. : ;

- A few of the leading business men of LaGrange were in this city during the first of the week and went from here to Goshen. 'They. stated that they were looking around in the interests of an east and west line of railroad to run through ‘Goshen and LaGrange.

At Columbia City last Thursday morning, Albert Trout a well known voung man was instantly killed by an inmate of a house of ill fame. Trout, in company with three other young fellows, went to the house, about 2 o'clock in the morning and demanded admittance. They were teold to go away and return later which they did: Upon their return they were again refused admission, when Trout undertook to pwsh the door open. At this juncture, ‘Pearl Sterling or Hapner, a daughter of a former well known Whitley county farmer, rushed to the door with a big revolver and placing it almost against Trout’s breast, fired. He fell into a companions arms dead. Noah Fageny of South Whitley, is a‘fso implicated in the crime. Too much New Years celebration was at the bottom of the trouble. o :

-~ Readers of Tug Baxygr will ‘recall the. facts. about a horrible murder which "oceurred near North Webster, about three years ago. Henry Dunham was*found dead in the roadway between his house and the barn; and in the house was found his little daughter,-about two years of age, with her throat cut from ear to ear and also dead, while Mrs. Dunham, ‘although still alive, had evidently been left for dead, too.- All this had been done for the sake of securing about $l3O in . money. This however says the Warsaw Times led to the dectection of Joseph W. Plew, for it was from the fact that he—who was never known to have more than a few dollars at a time—after the tragedy was found to-be well supplied with means, and was quite reckless in its expenditure. Taking this for clew, it was not long until ‘Plew ‘was arrested and ‘placed oun trial, and although he at all times denied his guilt, the evidence was so strong ‘that hé was convicted and. sent up for life—that much being gained at least by his stout denial, for. it is ‘plain that had the proof been otherwise than circumstantial, he would have most certainly been hung. Previousto the death of Plew, which occurred a day or two ago at the ‘Northern Prison, ‘he confessed the crime, implicating no one else. . Thomas C. McConnell, of Fargo, exclerk of the Territorial Supereme Court of Dakota, was arrested at Angola last Saturday by the sheriff< of LaPorte county, charged with bringing stolen property into LaPorte county, and he has been taken there for trial. About a year azgo a man named Kugle had a controversy over the ownership of a horse, and pending its settlement MeConnell drove the horse away, leaving it with a farmer near LaPorte, and he made his headquarters for a time inthat city. The day he arrived there the sheriff received a telegram from a Michigan town that a horse had been stolen, and the desecription of the thief taillied somewhat with the Fargo man’s appearance. Coupled with this fact, the farmer with whom McConnell had left the horse became suspicious and informed the sheriff, whereupon MeConnell was arrested as the sapposed. horse-thief. After considerable trouble he established his identity and was released. In a short time he began. action inthe United States Court at Indianapolis for false imprisonment, and it is thought his present arrest is an attempt to even things up. His attorneys at Angola do not think the case can stand, as there i 8 no proof whitever that the horse of which he had possession was not his preperty. He is a son of Dr. George W. MeConnell and a brother of Judge W. B. McConnell, of the North Dakota Supreme Court. :
