Rev. G. L. Butler who has charge of the Chicago Mission church, but makes his residence in this city. was at home with bis family over Sunday. He preached a very interesting sermon at the U. B. church in this city Sunday morning, and he also occupied the pulpit at Brimfield Sunday evening. He is a brother of H:. E. Butler pastor of the U. B. church of this place. General Harrison is not giving the Domocrats near -as much trouble in reference to his attitude on the presidential question as some of the republican editors of this county appear to believe or aim to hoodwink their readers. Itis the Republicans that seem to be worrying about it, By the way did you notice how some of the republican editors were filling their columns about a third term for Cleveland? They seem to be worrying about that. : :

Charles Charter who has been in the Noble county bastile for the past three month on the charge of liying with Mrs. Della Butler as husband and wife had his trial last Saturday. Deputy Pros. Peterson appeared for the state ‘and Attorney Eells defended the festive Charley. The jury found, that Mr, Charter was guilty of the charge and assessed his punishment at 90 days in jail and a fine of $lOO, which he will undoubtedly board out with Sheriff Simons. His paramour Mrs. Butler will have her trial later. The affidavit and allegations in the complaint were made by the woman’s husband Monseur Butler. i Those republican editors who console themselves over the election in Indianapolis with the argument that it was a purely local one and claim that the only glory the Democrats can ciaim 'ls that they defeated a republican candidate for mayor, who was a bolter in 1888 and rebuked an unpopulal administration of city affairs will haye their eyes opened in the sweet bye and bye, The fact that the other caneidates on the republican ticket were defeated by about 1,200 majority proves conclusively that these wise editors are talking through their hats and trying to deceive and hoodwink their readers. P The trial of Bill Knepper on the charge of manslaughter was brought to an end last Wednesgay evening. The jury retired and reached a verdict about 2 o’clock at night. 'When court convened next morning there were quite a number present to hear the reading of the verdiet which was guilty and sentenced him for the period of nine grears in the penitentiary. Expression of approval is heard on aver{ hand about the verdict. People of Noble county jare getting tired of the light sentences for criminals in this city and have made up their minds that it is time to call a halt before the fair name and reputation of Noble county is disgraced forever. K,f:&pper’s attorneys, Barr and Wrigley ~made a motion for & new trial wnioi ‘motion will probably be argued some time this week. S h - Asher W.

highly respected citizen and one of the gallant boys in blue, died on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. - About a year ago he had a stroke of paralysis and has not been in the best of health since that time. Last Sunday he was taken with congestion of the bowels and this with other complications proved too much for his weakened vitality to withstand. He leaves a widow and a large number of children, relatives and friends to mourn' their loss. He had just completed a fine new residence for which he purchased furniture last ¥riday but was not permitted to enjoy them. The funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon at: 2 o’clock, Rev. H. E. Butler of the U. B. church officiating. The G. A, R of which he was a member laid him afl rest in the Albion cemetery. He was a kind husband, a loving falher and an excellent neighbor and good citi-] zen and he will be missed by all who knew him. The sorrowing friends have‘ oar deeigest sympathy, The New Era of last week said that ‘ the tariff closed up our factories and decreased the purchasing power of the people so that the farmers are forced to burn their corn for fuel. How was it several years ago when the republican tariff law was in force, when the farmers hadn’t corn for fuel? How about the markets of the world at that time? It also says that ‘'great is the privilege of buying where you can buy cheapest and sell where you can sell dearest until you try it.”’ Prices for nroducts that the farmers has to sell are as good now and better in a large number of instances than they were under the McKinley bill. And when you go to the store to buy, the goods are 8o much lower that it leaves no chance for argument. We were shown an oyercoat the other day that was purchased for $6. We paid $l2 for one just like it in eyery respect two years ago under the robber tariff prices. People who buy goods cannot be blinded with the argument that the tariff protects the laboring man. Politicians are trying to advance the argument that ex-President Harrison was responsible for the m&nlpy bill. | About the next thing McKinley and the entire republican. party will be| trying to evade the momszgq of Its becoming a law, and will endeavor to saddle it on the Democrats, just as | thoydid the hard tmes. . o .

Why not try the experiment? Word reached here early Thursday morning that Wm. Knepper was sentenced to nine years at hard labor in the penitentiary. This was not a surprise to the most of our people as they were expectin%‘ it. Knepper had come to the conclusion that Noble county could not furnish a jury that would send him oyer. He can blanie nobody but himself. The assault was a cowardly one and the jury that passed the sentence knew what they were doing. He may feel lucky in being let down 8o easy. Nine years will make a man of him and if he eyer comes back to Noble county he will be weaker and wiser. We feel sorry for him, yet it seems that this was the life he chose. His mother died when he was a mere child and his raising was simply *‘come and go as it will.”” |
