The PDerby nine this year won the championship in the presence of eight thousand spectators. '

SoutH CAROLINA is ‘making money in the whiskey business. Up to date the profit is $210,000, and next year a profit of $lOO,OOO 1s expected. In August the sales were $44,000; in September $90,500; in October $lll,BOO. The total assets in: the business are $284,000, and the liabilities are $74,000. Jtis supposed‘tfhat the distribu.tion of the protits to 'help the schools will tend to make the dispensary system popular. The iliegal ‘‘bars’ have to a large extent been closed by the low price at which the state goyernment sells its whiskey. .

- 'THOMAS J.. SMITH, who came f{o Ligonier early in' the year 1866 to en-. gage in the practice-of law and who was associated with J. B. Stoll in the publication of THE BANNER during the flrst six months of its existence, died at his home in Middleburgh, Pa., on the morning of December 30.

He returned to Pennsylvania on account of ill-health.

How cowprLETELY The Black Cat, Boston”-spew five cent magazine, has captiyated the story reading world, is shown by the fagt that in three months it has already reached a sale of 150,000 copies. And the favor it has found with the press is equally well indicated by the ed:.torial comments of leading papers thrcughout the country. The New York Mail and Express, for instance, refers to it as “the literary pet,’’ while the Lousville Commercial says: *‘We predict that this delightfully original and interesiing magazine will have the largest sale ever reach by any publication. Its cleyerly told stoiies of mystery. exciting detective stories, and thrilling stories of adventure render The Black Cat' a delightful new departure 1n story telling.”

TaE committee appointed at the late ®ession ‘of the legislature has about concluded to make recommendations for some marked innovations in the present prison laws. It is said that they will report in fayor of the establishment of an intermediate prison or reformatory, where will be confined the younger convicts, men whom the officials belieye can be re claimed. The work of the two prisons will also be changed, the plan being to provide trades for all the convicts and thus put them 1 a position to make living wages;wijen dependent on their own efforts for - a livelihood. The question ot putting the men- to work on the public highways is: receiving serious.consideration. It may be decided bythe commission to recommend the shipping of the stone to the prison and having it prepared within the prison walls to be placed upon the roads. Another proposition is to station convicts at a certain place and

there crush the stone preparatory to putting it on the roads by free labor. That some changes in the laws must be made is self evident.

IN A LBNGTHY editorial on the sub: ject of securing a free and untrammeled expression of Democratic sentiment on the money question, the Evansyille Courier says: ‘ln all of the county conventions to be held on the 4th, and the congressional conventions to be held on the Bth of January, the fullest expression of the delegates should be given upon all political questions. For instance, a declaration in fayor of free silver coinage or a single gold standard—which side of the question is in the aflirmative in the resolution is of no consequence— should be presented in every one of these cenventions and the delegates should have 'the privilege of voting for them, free from the interference or restraint of the federal authority. - 1f the democracy of Indiana favors free coinage it should be known and boldly announced to the world, If it is in favor of the single gold standard, the factshould be given equal publicity. But no unfairor meretricious means should be adopted io:pfidnm either result. The people _are as well informed upon the subject 88 those self-appointed leaders who _propose to do their thinking for them ~and are in no mood at present to be (Wourced infe an expression which they

A CORRESPONDENT reminds the LaGrange Standard of an incident-worth remembering just now. Franklin was once dining with some Englishmen and Frenchmen, When toasts were proproposed an Englishfhan arose and with a Briton’s pride said: ‘“Here's to Great Britain, the sun that gives light to all nations.” A Frenchman then arose and with a Frenchman’s enthusiasm proposed, ‘‘Here’s to France. the moon whose magic rays move the tides o the world.”” Then Ben Franklin, with a twinkle in his eye, arose and said: ‘‘Gentlemen, here’s to George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still they obeyed him.”’

TarE WAR department at Washington has compiled a tabular statement showing. the number of men enrolled in the cayalry, artillery and infantry of the national guard in each and all the states. The aggregate numbers are: Cavalry, 5,040; artillery, 5.045; infantry, 93,261. South Carolina has the largest number of cavalry (1,519); California has the largest force of artillery (586); and New York has the largest number of infantry (12,134). There are more than 100,000 National Guardsmen, uniformed, drilled and ready for duty. Add to these the 25,000 men of the regular army and we have 125,000 nen that can take the field on short notice in case of- insurrection or invasion. .

The Proposed Regulators’ Reunion

' Considerable has been said in the columns of the local press lately concerning a reunion of the Regulators of northeastern Indiana, but so far nothing has been done and no call has been issued. One trouble seems to be owing to the fact that the ranks of the members are sadly thinned and the suryivors wait for some one ¢lse to ‘move in the matter. . This is not surprising when it is realized that many years have elapsed since the organization was in active operation, Many of the members, especially the older ones haye passed from ecarthly scenes and only those who were young men' then are perhaps living now. The first organization was made in LaGrange county in - September, 1856, and was known as the LaGrange County Rangers with headquarters at the Case 'school house, The bbject ‘was to put a stop to the thieving, horse stealing, robbing. counterfeiting and cgeneral lawlessness which wprevailed in this part of the state, A public meeting was held at Wright’s corners Janunary 9, 1858, and much feeling 'was worked up and strong resolutiona ‘adopted, Another large meeting was held at this city shortly afterwards. t P‘everal hundred men came on horse- | back and speeches were made in open } air by Dr. Fuller of Huntertown. and ~others near the Baptist, now Catholic, church. 'Lhe people were intensly excited and carried a banner with the words ‘‘No EXPENSE to the country’’.! Shortly after this’several men suspected of horse stealing were arrested. taken to Ligonier by the Regulators and ziyen an examjmation. and Gregory vichougal was condemed to death and on Jan. 26, 1858 was tagen to Diamond lake and hung. Defore his exseution he made a tfull confession and tmplicated many others. He fally acsnowledged the justness of his sentence and warned all younge men to turn from evil ways. He told Mr. &, B. Spencer, who was present. and heard his coniess on that John Wilson who was known as the *‘flying Dutchman,’’ had stolen Mr. Spencer’s handsome team of horses six monihs previously, and also informed him that the team had been taken to Hamilton, (hio. Later the team was found near that place and returned to him. Mr. spencer and N. B. Newnam were active regulators and are quite anx--lous to have a reunion ot the survivors of the organization. 7They are of the opinion that Capt. Braden of Ligonier, is the proper person to issue the call, 48 he was a prominent member, and Mr. Spencer informs us that the captain was present with himself and a gentleman from Auburn when MeDougal made his confession. -Messrs. Spencer and Newnam give the following namcs as surviving members O. P Grannis, Chas, Cochran, ?lson Stacy and Butlef Giibert ot LaGfange county, Messrs. Henry Baum, M. F. Walters, R. 8. Haines and Peter Bowman of Ayilla; Henry Hill, Washington Engle and Samucl Engle of Jefferson township. They would like to hear from any one who may know of other living members. They are much in fayor of a reunion and favor Ligonier as a suitable place for such a meeting. —Kegdallville Sun. .

The LaGrange Standard is of the opinion that a reunion of the Reguiators will be of doubtful propriety while so ‘*'many relatives ot the accused and implicated, now respectable people, survive, It might result as did a little incident that came under our ob-seryation-in the army. While our regiment, which contained companies from all these counties, was in camp at Battle Creek, Tenn., a number of the com - pany officers met one evening in a tent for a social time. As the eyening waned they became somewhat enthusiastic and proud of their respective counties, bragging of their achieyements, when a Steuben county oflficer made some disparaging allusion to Noble county, because of blacklegs, that fired a passionate officer from that county andviolence was narrowly averted. The offended officer was a messmate of ouars, and we had to do our best at peace making to prevent a collision, for several days. The final results though, of the evening, and allusion to the regulator days made some of the unwritten history of that regiment, A reunion of the survivors of the regulators would haye to be caretully conducted not to wound somebody.” : Card of Thanks. In this way I wish to express my sincere thanks to neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during the continued iliness and death of my beloved companion, Much credit is due the ladies of the church who in the hour of affliction did not forget their duty to one of their sisters; also to the Woman’s Reliet Corps who demonstrated by deeds, not words, what was the true purpose and upon what prino‘igles, their noble order is founded. The tender sympathies. and kindly offices of these, together with those of my Pythian brothers and my neighbors. have done much to quiet the surgin, S wve found myse oat, Again and again 1 thank you, W, W

Council Proceedings,

The council meeting lest Thursday eyening was not so long drawn out a 8 many of them haye been, but considerable business was transacted. Mayor Straus is getting the work better systematized and promises to later so cut down the time that it will require but a few hours to transact the public business. In this he is being greatly assisted by the new system in yogue of examination and passing upon bills. The councilmen were all present as were the other city officers, a special request having been made by the mayor for their presence on the last meeting night of the year so as to get in any reports that might be due. : ~ The first business of the evening was the granting of a liquor license to Kingsbury & Richmond. the application having bean made in due form. ~ The treasurer’s report was then examined. It showed a total balance on hand of $2941.37, .as follows: General fund, $2347.68; bond fund, $3 91; road fund, $124.06; water works fund. $465,72. The orders paid out of the different funds during the month were ‘as follows: General, $648.72; water works, $142.43; road. $113.95. The city clerk reported the collection of $74.00 from water rents and other gources for water service.

The matter of paving Cavin street and the use of vitrified brick for cross walks was then informally discussed and a strong sentiment was shown in favor of the proposed change of system of improvements upon our main thoroughfare. ‘The council showed that they fully appreciated the situation and are ready to make the moye for the needed improvement. With the sentiment that is now extant the street will be paved in 1896.° Some remsible suggestions were made regarding & new ordinance governing the construction of sidewalks by several of the members.

The report of Messrs. Gilbert and (Gauts who visited Columbia City with a view to making Inquiries regarding their tire department system, etc , was then read.. It strongly recommended the purchase and meaintenance of a city team both for fire department pur poses and to do such work during the daytime as is always necessery. They in sheort recommended. the system that has been in yogue at Columbia City for thirteen years. Other towns haye also adopted this plan and find it most excellent and economical. Tbe report was ordered spread upon the records. 1t is pretty safe to say that the idea will be adopted. The committee appointed to close the contract of the Gerber Hardware Co with the city for the eonstruction of sewers in alleys A and B reported the contract duly cxecuted and bond given for the faithful peérformance of the work. City engineer Gerber reported the work upon the sewers as progressing finely, considering the season and the weather. The work will be finished by February 1 unless the weather gets.too severe.

K. church and from that time she has been faithful to her yows., Whenever she was able, she was a regul:r atiendant upon the church services. Her daily lite was a constant testimony ot her faith in God. For months she, hbad been a great suflerer, but suffered a true child of God. Seldom do we ever'see one more patient and submissive., Realizing bow much her famiiy needed ber she desired to live, but was willing to submit 1t all to ‘*Him who doeth all -things well.”” Near the closing hours she called her companion to her and said: ‘I am going howe and every ‘thing is all right.”” She died in the trinmphs of a living faith and jhas .entered into the rest that remains tor the people of God. Her friends were not counted by the few but by the hundreds which was eyidenced by the large number who attended her funeral. Her memorv will eyer be precious to those who knew her. B.

TO FIX A POLICY.

Senate Finance Committee Will Meet to Discuss House Bills.

Report to Be Made' Friday—Senator ‘Sherman’s Resolution on Redemption Fund of Treasury. -

Washington, Jan. I.—Owing to the request of the republican members of the finance committee of the senate, Senator Voorhees, who will be its chairman until January 2, refrained from calling the meeting of that committee, which had been contemplated Tuesday morning. Both Senator Morrill, the republican who succeeds to the chairmanship, and Senator Sherman, the ranking republican member, requested Senator Voorhees not to call the meeting, for the reason that the new members added to the committee could not take their seats undeén the resolution until Thursday. 2 Senator ‘Morrill Tuesday morning, after a conference with the other republican members of the committee, degided to issue a call for a special meeting next Thursday, at which time the general situation will be canvassed.

The finance committee of the senate expects to agree Thursday upon the policy to be pursued with regard to the bond and tariff bill in the senate. It is not unlikely that both measures may be reported next week. |

Senator Sherman Offers a Resolution.

Washington, Jan. I.—Senator Perkins (rep., €al.) offered a resolution in the senate Tuesday, with a long string of “whereases,” instructing the finance committee to report an amendment to the house revenue bill providing for an additional duty on raw sugar equal to. the proposed increase on other articles and asked for its immediate consideration. - i

Senator Berry (dem., Ark.) objected and the resolution wentwover,

Senator Pettigrew (rep., S. D.) introduced a bill, which was referred to the finance committee, to cancel redeemed United States legal tender notes. . Senator Morrill (rep., Vt.), chairman of the finance committee, moved that when the senate adjourned Tuesday it adjourn till Friday next, remarking that the finance committee desired to meet on Thursday to consider the house bond and tariff bills. The motion was agreed to. : The following resolution was offered by Senator Sherman (rep.,,0.), who gave notice that he would ‘address the senate upon it next Friday: =

Resolved, That by injurious legislation by the b3d congress the revenues of the government were reduced helow its necessary expenditures; and the fund, created by law, for the redemption of United States notes has been invaded to supply such deficiencies of reserve; that such a misapplication of the resumption fund is of doubtful legality and is greatly injurious to the public credit and should be prevented by restoring said fund to the sum of, not less than $100,000,000 in. gold coin or bullion (to be segregated irom all other funds) to be paid out only in the redemption of United States notes; and such notes when redeemed to be reissucd only in exchange for gold coin and bullion. :

The resolution heretofore offercd by Senator Chandler (rep., N. H.) as to prices paid for armor of vessels of the navy, whether they were higher than charged by the same coutractors to foreign governments, and as to government officials being interested in patents tsed in its manufacture, was taken up, and Senator Chandler modified it at the suggestion of Senator Gorman (dem., Md.) by omitting the clause as to lower prices charged to foreign governments. Mr. Gorman explained that the facts were made known at the last session and were—that it had been deemed very desirable for United States manufacturers to compete with English and German manufacturers for a single Russian vessel, and that armor had been supplied at a loss. g

Senator Gorman also expressed his regret that the resolution suggested corrupting influences among naval officers. ¢

Senator Hale (rep., Me.) agreed with Senator Gorman and favored holding up the hands of the officials of the navy. : Ll

Senator Chandler (rep., N. H.) said that he concurred in every word spoken Ly the senators from Maryland and Maine, including the legret expressed by them that there was any occasion for the offering of the resolution. He Lad taken the responsibility of offering it, , ot The resolution was agreed to. . Wants Raw Wool Taxed.

The resolution offered by Senator Mitchell (rep., Ore.), instructing the finance committee to report an amendment to the house tariff bill imposing a duty on raw wool, was taken up and Senator Mitchell addressed the senate upon it. The debate soon tmrned into a financial colloquy, in which Senators Hill, Cockrell, Mitchell and Chandler took part.

Senator Nelson (rep., Minn.) followed Senator Mitchell in a speech on the wool question and on the financial question.. At the close of his remarks Senator ‘Mitchell’s resolution was referred to the finance committee.

Resolution Against Private Sale of Bonds.

Senator Elkins (rep., W. Va.) offered a resolution declaring that it is the sense of the senate that hereafter no bonds of the United States shall be sold at private sale, or under private contract; and that in case of any sale of bonds under existing laws, it shall be made only after due advertisement and after proposals being invited; and then only to the highest bidder. He asked for its immediate consideration.

Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) objected and the resolution went over.

The senate at 2:30 p. m. adjourned until Friday next. ‘ : House Meets and Adjourns,

; Stiil Another Way The Goshen Times recites how fifty smart farmers in Elkhart county were nicely skinned recently. Two cleyer talkers came among them and contracted to buy their butter and eggs and agreed to pay 22 cents for eggs and 25 cents for butter, and to furnish them with groceries, sugar at 7 and 8 cents; coffee at 35 cents, and other goods in proportion. The farmers knew the the groceries were too hich, but reasoned that they could aftord to give high prices proyided they could realize such big prices for their produce. When the slick dealers came with the groceries they told the farmers that the produce wagon would come around later and get the produce but that they must take the groceries and pay cash for the same according to contract, which they did. The produce wagon will probably never come. This is where the point is and the farmers can see it now. 3

Another Swindle.

The Elkart Review tells of a new swindle that has just come to light which will have a successful run -until the rogues practicing it are fully exposed. A, sewing machine tinker, a stranger of course, perambulates the country with a kit of tools soliciting the repair of machines and doing his jobs in good style, being at the same time exceedingly polite and gracious to his patron, whom he informs that he also repairs watches and family jewels and has no trouble in obtaining them for that purpose. - On leisurely exam ination he tells his victim that in order to make the necessary repairs he must take the property with him to the town agency which is usually well known. He neyer returns the property and on inquiry, probably a week later, no such person as the tinker is known to the agency and he 18 far enough away by ‘this time to escape punishment, plying !hxs occupation 1n fields new and pastures green.
