RAILROADS running into Chicago have ordered one hundred and sixty new locomotives and fifteen thousand new cars of various kinds for carrying freight and passengers.

THERE is a law in the state of Missouri which provides that where the property owners -coniribute onehalf towards the improvement of a public highway, the county shall contribute a like amount. - -

THE apple crop of the world this year is uncommonly large. The total production of apples in the United States last year was 57,629,000 barrels. ‘This yvear it is estimated at 65,256,000—near1y one barrel apiece for every man, woman and child.

IN THE event that Thomas Taggart refuses to accept the chairmanship of the state committee Hon. I. P. Leyden of New Albany will doubtless be selected for the place. This would be a most admirable selection, Senator Leyden is a conservative, actiye and wide awake Democratl. one who would put considerable life and vigor into a campaign. If he will accept he should be chosen. ;

TaE elections Tuesday were not very satisfactory to the average Democrat. New York, Pennsylvania, lowa, Ohio and Nebraska went heavily republican while Maryland followed suit. Kentucky is in doubt as was Idaho at last reports. The majority in New York and Ohio were materily reduced from the] figures of the last election, but not to such an extent as would gladen the demoecratic heart. :

THERE are thousands of Democrats all over the land who will rejoice at the defeat and compiete overthrow of of Senator Gorman of Maryland. He and Mr. Baice stood out against the will of the people upon the tarift question, they made it impossible to pass such a measure as was satisfactory to the leaders of the party and then now see them swept from power on dccount of their direliction of duty.

A cuurcH in Guthrie, Oklahoma, saw an unusual spectacle last Sunday afternoon, A number of prisoners awaiting trial were brought over from the territorial jail for baptism. It is explained that a Methodist preacher has been holding services at the jail. The party of convicts included an alleged murderer, and a couple of alleged highwaymen. - During the rite a squad of deputy marshals did guard dutv at the church doors.

' THE Vote cast last Tuesday in the several states was one of the lightest 4«nown in politics for years, In Ohio ‘only about 60 per cent. of the democratic vote was cast, and in New York and New Jersey there was a tremendious falling off from the expected vote. In Maryland ‘and Kentucky thousands of Democrats did not go to the polls and at Chicago little interest was manifested, but 60 per cent. of the vote being cast.

[r goLD should ever become more plentiful than silver, someé people would laugh and yet such an event is not impossible, Beh(f,!ers in the coming flood of yellow metal are growing more numerous. It is clnimed that the American product of gold is largely increasing and that the rich African deposits prove richer the deeper they are followed. It is. also to be noted that new chemical discoveries make practicable the working of low grade ores,

TaeE Waterloo Press devotes considerable space in an attempt to show that county superintendents elected last spring by the township trustees have no claim upon their places because the trustees should have given up their offices. last November. We opine that Mr. Willis will find that this is not very good law nor will his plaint amount to much as all acts of an officer are legal until his successor has been elected and qualified. No one will for a moment maintain that‘ the trustees of DeKalb county who! were elected last November had qualified until after they had taken their oaths of office and filed their bonds. Your mare’s nest has no egg in it Bro. Willis. v T ——————————————— Tae customs receipts have not shown any marked increase during the past month, nor is it anticipated that there will be any particular change before the first of January. Then, the importation of spring goods is bound to swell the figures; and in March the importation of sugar will still further increase the receipts. It is therefore thought that, if the reviyal of business continues and nothing occurs in the meantime to argument the embarrassments of.the treasury, it may be possible to get along without any legislation by congress to increase taxation. The treasury is not yet upon a paying basis, but the indications are that beginning January 1, the receipts will od thom. T hopo of defraying cx- , ; a 1»«9,»; Aot ,» .ﬂdﬂhﬁﬂ M‘i&'lhon |

~ THE suDDEN death of Eugene Field, the brillian¢ Chicago editor and writer last Monday morning, will be most sincerely mourned by the thousands who have been entertained and interested by his clever and meritorious productions. He was 1n the prime of his strong manhood, a brilliant man and a genial gentleman. -

THE modern law of self-defense permits active opposition to attacks which threatens personal Injury, and fully justifies the person who is attacked in using force to repel the attack, if necessary. Judge Arnold of the Ohio court of oyer and terminer says that the old rule that & man who 1s assaulted by another must submit to the assault and retreat until he can retreat no further, or retreat to a wall as it is called, has been superseded by a more sensible rule that a persen who is attacked may oppose force by force and advance in higs own defense if he deems it necessary. Persons are no longer under an obligation to submit to a beating when by defending -themselves they may avoid harm. They may return blow for blow, and it is now agreed that retreat is not obligatory. This is wise and just.

MR. PrEsTON, the director of the mint, is satisfied that the output of gold during the year of 1895 will reach $200,000,000, which is $20,000,000 in excess of 1894. In 1892 the output of gold was $130.816,600. During the height of the gold production of California and Australia in 1853, the output was $155,450,000. That is, the output of gold the present year will be $45,000,000 in excess of the highest year of gold expansion and about $70,000,000 in excess of the ‘world’s product in 1892. If the output were four times in excess of what it has been, it would be none too great for the monetary requirements of the goyernments of the ciyilized world. It would stimulate business wonderfully and help to adjust money matters generally. With an abundance of gold, the single standard idea would become far more acceptable and feasible than is the :case under the present insufficient supply of the yellow metal. We could then have gold for the larger transac‘tions and silver for the smaller ones, Such an adjustment of the money ‘question would become possible and practicable. ptovided the gold mines continue to yield bountifully and too much of the product is not perverted to the use in the arts, etc.

Jdmportant Court Rulings. Justice Hackney of the supreme court has rendered a yery important decision touching the yalidity of disputed ballots in a case from Hamilton county. The decision is as follows and should be carteully pasted in the bat of every man likely to vote or act as election oflicer, (1) Where, in preparing the ballot, the voter manifestly endeavors in good faith to comply with the requirements of the law he should not sutfer the loss of his vote unless there is guch a departure from the strict letter of the law as that if purposely done | the ballot could afterward be distinguished by the voter. (2) Ballots containing two entirely separate and distinct impressions of the stamp arve invalid as containing distinguishing marks, but a slight variation from the placing of the stamp with such precision as to make a single perfect Impression is not fatal to the validity of a ballot. (3) Baliots which give eyidence that, in preparing the ballot, the voter manifestly endeayored in good faith to comply with the law were properly counted (4) Where a disputed ballot is returned, the statutory precautionary measures do not deny a resort to parol evidence to support or deny the genuineness of the ballot in dispute. (5) The failure of a poll clerk to note upon the pollbook a memorandum of a disputed ballot shoald not deny inquiry into the validity of a ballot returned by the inspector. Such a ballot was prima facie admissible 1n evidence and its genuineness open to inquiry upon parol evidence. e | In an appeal case from Howard county, Justice Davis decides as follows: ' (1) A county surveyor has jurisdiction to'make assessments for the re - pair of drains. (2) Lands assessed for the original construction of a drain not benefitted by the repair thereof are not to be assessed for such repair and an assessment upon the lands benefited is not void on the grounds that all the lands assessed tor the construction are not assessed for the repairs. (3) Where 1t is shown that a surveyor had jurisdiction to make the reépair, the presumption is that the assessments were made by him against the land owners affected thereby, in proportion to the benefits received by such repair. 0 A case against the L. E. & W. railway as appealed from Madison county is thus ruled upon by Chief Justice Reinhardt of the appellate court: The fact that one is a trespasser upon a train will not justify the company’s seryants to use unnecessary violence to eject him. (2) When the facts pleaded or the wrong charged show a wilfulness to inflict injury it is not necessary to allege negligence on the part of one or freedom from negligence on the part of the other. (3) Itis a conductor’s duty to expel trespassers, when accomplished in a lawful manner, but a lawful expulsion affected in. an unlawtul manner will render the company liable for resulting injuries, (4) It was not an error to admit in | evidence the statement of the agent that the ‘‘next freight train would carry passengers '’ These decisions are worth preservg for future reference. : - Noble County Prisoner A Curiosity, When the Chicago and West Michi- | gan train from the west pulled 1n this morning, a deputy sheriff, accompanied by a handcuffed prisoner. alighted. | The man was a biﬁ burly fellow, and | was ,gcorly dressed.

~_ BIX GREAT STATES. An Exhibit of Their Products Were Made in Ligenier, William H. Phipps land commissioner for the Northern Pacific railway is doing some very effective adyertising by means of a exhibit car of the products of the six great states traversed by this road. This car is operated in the interests of both land and passenger department and is th3l same coach that represented the Northern Pacitic and its territory at the. Worlds Fair. It is seventy-itwo teet in length, twelve feet in width, and made throughout wf material furnished by the six states;” The car is divided into compartments which contain superb collections of north western products, ‘The mineral and fossil exhibits are complete and interesting, the former comprising all kinds ot ores with a picture which shows the methods used in reducing them. In going from town to town throughout the various states east of the Mississippi river the purpose of the car is, of course to teach the people of those sections something practical concerning the great northwest. It enables them to understand that Minnesota, Norith Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are six very productive states. . In one of the glass cases there is displayed in a highly decorative way fhe native and cultivated grasses in that §lreat stock country of the west, ontana and western North Dakota. There are fifty varieties of the natural grasses showing the wonderful resources and capabilities for the support of cattle, horses and sheep. The cultivated grasses include reda, alsike and crimson cloyer, Indian, KEgyptian, German and golden millet alfalfa. A noteworthy feature was the display of graun in the straw from North Dakota. It was arranged to rcpresent a tield of growing grain and contained tive yarieties of wheat, three of oats, two of barley and one of rye. ‘There were also thirty bottles of grains and seeds showing the wonderful variety and excellence of the North Dakota products. A bottle of North Dakota soil was also exhibited. 1). M. Stewart. chief clerk of the emigration department was in charge of the car and L. L. Billlingslea represented the traffic department of the road. "These gentlemen courteously explained to all visitors the character of the exhibits. The children of the sg(?ools were shown through the car and doubtless learned many valuable lessons regarding the wonderful resources of the western country, The enterprise is under the direction of C. W. Mott, general emigration agent of the company at St. Paul, Miun. and enquiries addressed to him will receive a prompt response and an interesting package of illustrated publications descriptive of northern Pacilic territory will be mailed the writer.

: Obituary. ‘Mrs. Lydia Weimer was born in Simpronius, Cayuga county, New York, Dec. 24, 1819; died at her home two miles east of Ligonier, Ind. Oect, 31, 1895; aged 75 years, 10 months and 7 days. bdhe came to the state of Indiana in 1841, when quite a young woman with Mr. Albert Hawks who settled at Waterford near Goshen where she made her home for five years. She then spent two years with her sister at Battle Creek, Mich. Aug. 11, 1853 she was united in marriage to Isaac Weimer at” Waterford, Ind., where they lived nearly three years. They then moved to the farm two miles east of Ligonier where, for nearly forty years, she with her husband faithtully fought life’s battles and won many of its victories and both came to their journey’s end in a blissful, ripe old age, Her companion preceeded her nearly seven years, and there where they count not years, he has been waiting her coming and last Thursday morning at half past ten in presence of wandering angels they were reunited on the other shore. - Sister Weimer was happily conyerted to God and united with the M. E. church when about fifteen years old, and for oyer gixty years has been a faithtul servant of the Lord. For sev-. eral years, because of failing health and enfeebled by age, she has not been permitted to be in her accustomed place of worship but little, much less to be engaged in the active work of ‘tbe church as in former years. She ‘dealy loved the house of worship; was ‘always loyal to her pastor and church | and for years was a successful teacher in the Sunday school. Her life was a constant benediction, and her work an abiding testimony of the Christian religion. Though her yoice be stilled, yet is her life elogquent. : Four children, three daughters . and one son are living to bless her memnory; one died in infancy. All four were with her in her last sickness and were around her bed when the sleep of death came. Standing by her bedside as she quietly and peacefully sank to rest, I could but feel, this is not death, it 1s but a falling asleep, it is languishing into lifé, it is closing the eyes upon the scenes of mortality to open them upon the brighter glory of immortality. J. A. BEATTY. Wolfinger Was Wroth. John Wolfinger, residing near Ligonier, yisited the county eclerk’s office today with a grievance. He unbosomed himself to Deputy Clerk Kinney and was very indignant. The old gentleman demanded to know why a marriage license had been issued to Milo’ Wolfinger, his son who is under 20 years of age, who recently married Apna Smith. For a time Mr. Kinney was at a loss to know why the license had been issued, but he went into the records and found au order signed by Lidy Wolfinger, purported to be the young man’s mother, stating that his father was dead, that the boy had no guardian and authorizing the issuance of the license. This put a different phase on the matter and Father Wolfinger stormed all the harder. It was not enough to marry his gon to a girl of whom he knew nothing, in fact had never so much as seen, but he was put down as dead. This was more than flesh and blood would stand and the old man bursted from the office swearing vengence. Mr. Kinney offered the assurance that if the order for the| license was a forgery perhaps he could | send his son to the penitentiary but| ke irrate parent is not likely to do| this, although he is much put out. He leclared that he would see an attorney | ind set the law at work. : 2t The law will probably work if Papa Wolfinger has plenty of cash to grease | he machinery. - Goshen Times.

- A Prehistoric Battlefield. E A few days ago the writer visited the ground. near the center of York township, where a prehistoric battle had left Its vestiges, i%'skulls and other bones, whose condition toldiof the lapse of centuries. The place |is in section 16, York township, at! a point on the old Eversole farm where there was an ancient ford, acrass which led a deeply worn Indian trail, evidently leading from lake Wawasee to the northern lakes in Elkhart and Orange townships, and on, to connect with the Kekionga and Mongoquinong trail, { Eeighty rods east of the center |of section 16, in York township, the Eik‘hart river, in its northwesterly co‘urﬁa, encounters a barrier, a section of the moraine of the diift period, and turns toward the northeast, throught 'qhe narrow interval skirting the bases of the divided moraine, about 120 rads the stream is again diverted to ‘ghe west and afer a west course of 40 rads turns southwest and reaches a point, at the Eversole bridge only 80 rods northwest of the first turn, forming a peninsula 120 rods in length and 80 rods wide, pointing northeast and continuing ‘southwesterly half a mile the river again turns sharply toghe the northwest for 80 rods, the sharply to the northeast, forming another larger peninsula with the point southwest. i Many years ago, Mr. W. A. Ku*hn says he assisted in exhuming a large group of skulls and other parts |of skeletons near the river at the ford ngl point as above mentioned. It was Lot; an ordinary burial ground and the the number of skeltons indicated an extensive slaughter. A savage band on the war-path were probably assailed by enemies while crossing the ford and a sanguinary conflict occurred. Agesibefore the discovery, the rilver ‘had washed away' the red staing of battle, but the bones of the slain were left to tell of the fray. i ~ On_exposure to the air the bopes crumbled, proving a very great length of time of inexhumination. The cionformation of the skulls showed a race ‘different from the European race ani the absence of tradition concurred ) with the conditions and enyironments ‘}in assigning them to some period, ot great antiquity. It may be added that on the hills overlooking the river tm the vicinity of the ford, many implements of savage warfare haye been found that point to a time prior to any acquaintance with civilized lpeop]e. : : ' Noble county, in common with fthe whole northwest, is rich in relics of 'the dim past. They are notes of a Emizhty epic of ages rife with the events aud tragedies of human life ‘long anterior to the themes of the pldest traditions of the so-called ‘‘abori|glnes’.” They silently appeal to the | human soul awaiting the advent of the Homer or the Milton who shall trénslate their dumb eloquence into néble song, crowning modern literature ;and the genius of America with honor. | | Albion, Nov. 4.

The swo men who attempt‘ed to rape Anna Zamiatys, were only ' charged with assault and battery jand | tined two dollars. A man who will commit an assault on an inno¢ent woman without any cause should go to the penitentiary for at least l:ﬁve years. ! The fellows who set fire to the Kendallvilie shed during the fair 3ave pleaded not guilty and will be given a separate trial. This is the work of attorneys of course, At the preliminary | trial they said they were guilty. What a farce this law business is getting to be. i While the Steuben Republican has the following in the same swain: MecCartney and Johnson, two Noble county toughs. were last week fined two dollars and costs for assault and battery with intent to rape a poor, lone Polish girl at Ayilia.

Mr. Bristol, with his wife and Bix children a wife’s sister, by the ‘name of Tibbitt, settled on a piece of land now owned by Mr. Gandy, in Noble township, April 4, 1827, nghrly 70 years ago when Nouble county whs a wilderness and the Indian was king of the forests, as there was not a simgle white man within its borders. He estavblished a tavern on the Indian trail which afterwards became the Goshen road. An old cherry tree stood inithe vicinity of the tavern, where, on pleasant days they would employ tbeir time with cards, whiskey, etc. It was! his request that when he died he wax{ted to be buried under that old cherry tree as near the trunk as possible, which request was granted. The whereabouts of the Tibbitt children are unknown, but the supposition is that they have also passed to the world beyond. | e e 1 Ligonier Public Schools. o Report for the week ending Nov. 1, 1896. . 1

THE KESSLER TRAIN ROBBERY, I The Confession of James Brown. It does not Conform with the Stories told by ‘the Express Messenger or the ' - Engineer--May be that he - g tells the Truth. In the jail at Albion well guarded lies James Brown, self-confessed participant in the train robbery at Kessler near Brimfield on the night of Sept. 12. 1893. He was landed in jail by the authorties last Saturday and stiil maintaing that he is the real train robber. A confession had been gotten out of him by several methods before his arrest, but he has made other admissions since that shows that he knows more about the raid than he has told. In the confession as taken by a stenographer, he says: I went with Abe Smaliey and John 1 Smalley into the woods, near Kessler crossing, on the morning of Sept. 12, | 1893. We staid there all day waiting for darkness, Abe and John in the | meantime. looking up the railroad guide to find the exact time when thel express train would come along. About 12 o’clock the train came along‘ and ran into an open switch, whieh he ‘ had set As soon as the train had been | fixed we dynamited the express car. John *Smalley kept up a constant firing to frighten the passengers, and Abe and I worked at the express safe. We finally got it open. Abe took four sacks out of the safe, one at a time, and then threw out on the ground. Abe looked around and said, ‘all right’ jumped out of the car, and I followed. Abe and I took the sacks; there were two heavy ones and two light ones. Afer getting the money we left ithe train and took to the woods and waited till daylight. After daylight 'we opened the sacks, took out the money and counted it. Abe did the counting. There was between $l5000 and $16,000. We divided it up and I got about $5,000. Isaw a $l,000 bill and*we drew cuts for it. Abe got it. I did mine up in my handkerchief and put it in my pocket. We did up the papers that were of no account and buried them in the woods.. We stayed about eighty rods from our first camp for three days after the robbery and finally we got around home to Brinton. 1 don’t know who was in the Finnville robvery. I did not see John Smalley to speak to in August. I saw him go along the road on Aug. 20, 1895.”

Referring again to Abe Smalley, Brown said: _ ' *‘Abe had a scar on the small of his back, done by a Winchester at the Coffeyville raid. He told me about being in the Coffeyville raid, and that he had got shot, and showed me the scar.”’ S 4

Brown told the sheriff where part of the plunder was secreted and he with Detectiye John Byrne of Buffalo, N. Y., in the employ of the United States Express company and C. E. Needham of Elkhart, Ind., claim agent of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway went up to Isabelle county to the home of Jim’s parents. There they found in a tin can in the yard $1,565 in currency. In another spot $BO in gold and 50 cents in silyer was found ‘buried. The officer also found a shotgun, silver watch and a ladies’ gold watch all of which Jim said had been bought with the proceeds of the robbery and last Saturday a hotel property that had been purchased with a part of the money was deeded over to the U. S. express company., Making about $3,000 so far secured. Brown refering to the prospect of being brought back to the state for trial, said: - “]f they take me down there and hang me for a woman being killed they will hang an innocent man. I am innocent of any murder.”’ It will be remembered that the story of the train men express messengers all agreed that there were seyen ‘men mixed up in the attack upon the train. That the explosion inside of the car was prepared by four men and that one of them was at the cab and the engine all of the time the train was on the side track. In fact there are many details as told then that do not at all coincide with the circumstances as told by Brown. The amount of money taken is also said to have been greater than Brown claims, but this may have been on account of the way 1t was divided, Abe Smalley keeping the big part of the swag, but there are many things that discredit Brown’s claim that there were but three men mixed up in the raid and we are informed that efforts are being made to have him tell all about the aftair. = -

f Camphor not a very New Drug. | An mngenious chemist of Dayton, Ohio, has compounded from a number of little known camphors, a balm | known as Pretzinger’s Catarrh Balm, that has met with a most remarkable sale, and he is now on the high road to fortune and wealth, as 1t seems to be the only catarrh remedy thatis a sure cure. Thereis npothing new about campnors, and their healing properties are well known. Everybody with éatarrh or cold in the head uses ‘‘Pretzinger’s.”’ This wonderful success has raised the question among a good many as to how old camphor, as a drug, was. But we have to go down the long ages of history to find the starting point, Camphor was among the Phoenecians at the earliest dawn of history, the Egyptians six thousand years knew all about it, the Chinese have used it for at least five thousand vears. The Dayton chemist was bright to use so ancient remedy, and well deserves the fortune he ‘'will make out of it. ' The healing properties of the camphors instantly as)}a.y the inflamation of the nasal organs and opens up the passages so that easy comfortable breathing is possible. The old scabs and sores yield readily and quickly disappear. The horrible choking sensation s 0 common, stops at once. Pretzinger’s does not seem to be a secret remedy at all, and well known physicians preseribe it constantly in their practice. A small sample can be had by sending a twocent stamp to Pretzinger Bros., Chemists, Dayton, Ohio. :
