THE anti-Hanna Republicans in Ohio are beginning to show their teeth, and there may be some rough sledding for McKinley’s boss yet. - Many leading Republicans want to see Hadna de: feated for the goud of the party, and are . adyising a revolt. againrrt i, Time only will tell whether he will be able to keep his creatures in lme with his unlimited stock of official pattonage aud a big barrel of money.

THE Democrats of ‘Ohio did eyen better than we expected. We had no idea that they would comeas near defoating Mark Hanna as they did, in the face of the foolish quarrels and party strife that have prevailed since the state convention. In at least four counties, carried by the republicans by less than one hundred: votes, many Democrats were driven away from the party by bad management and petty quarrels. In fact what would haye been a glorious yictory was turned into & bad defeat all on-account of radicalism. A _ ]

| THE later election retu‘rns last week show that the Republicans made gains enough in_the back couJities in Ohio to insure a republican m?j,oxjit'y of five in the joint session of the General Assembly. This does not insure the return of Mark Hanna 'to the U. S. senate, but his chances to succeed himself are most excellent. He will be able with the fat dffices at his disposal to bring recalcitrant members into line, and we: predict thaé he will be reelected when the time gomes. Mark Hanna has'always been lucky: =

A MUDDLE LIKELY

- The Democrats are still contending that under the new legislative apportionment act the next State Senate will contain fiftysone members—one more than the constitution allows. The point was made when the apportionment act was before the Legisiature last spring, but the Republicans insisted that there was nothing in it. W. H. Eichhorn of Wells county, and otherrepresentative Democrats who . were here last week, went oyer the new Jaw once more. and they reiterate the stateufem made in the course of the session| |

In the old apportionment act—the act of 1885, under whicahthe election was held last year—Steuben and 'Las Grange counties compos%d one senato rial “district and DeKalb and Noble counties” another district. Last year Steuben and LaGrange counties elected Newton W, Gilbert, Republican, Sena~ tor, and DeKalb and Noble counties elected. William H. Nusbaum, Democrat. By the new law LaGrange and Noble are combined in one district, and Steuben and l)eKailb are thrown togethér. 1t so happens that Senators Gilbert and Nusbaum are thrown into the single district of Steuben and DeKalb counties. The new district of LaGrange and Noble, being swithout a representative in the S‘Fnat.p; declares that it has the right to inominate and elect at the .next election] and it is poimted out that if an election be held in that district and neit{,‘xer Gilbert nor Nusbaum resigns, there will be fifty~ one Senators.

Ihe repubiiean theory is that La Grange and Steuben 'cannot elect at the coming election,. It has been sug gested that either Gilbert or Nusbaum resign, but neither is dfsposed to quit. 1t- 18 - understood here| that Senator Gilbert has said that he would offer his resignation as he could be sure of an appointment to a good Federal office; but as the United States pension agent has been taken from |an adjoining county, the impresgion lis that -he will not get anything. -It ig also true that the Republicans are opposed to the resignation of one of| their Senators in the. light of the fac¢t that the next Legislature will choosj a successor to Senator Turpie.

Suffering in Silence.

Women are the rea] heroes of the world.. Thousandsof them endure the dragging torture of the ills peculiar to womanhood in the silence of the home, They suffer on and on- ;weeks, months. vears. The story of weakness and torture is written in thedrawn features, in the sallow skin, in the lines of care and worry on the face. Inborn modesty seals these women’s lips. They prefer Lhedpam to humili ation. Custom has made them believe the only hope of relief lies in the exposure of examination and ‘local treatment.”’ But in nine cases of female weaknesses out of ten, local treatment is unnecessary, . There is no good reason why modest, sensitive women shouald submit to it. McElree’'s Wine of Cardui which. is attracting so much attention now, has brought about a revolution in the manuer ‘of treating this troublesome class of diseases. It is a pure vegetable wine that exerts a wonderfully healing. strengthening and soothing influence oyer the organs of womanhood. It invigorates Jand stimulates the whole system. It is' almost infallible in curing the |peculiar weaknesges, irregularities; and painful derangements ot women. It does this great work year 'after year—in the privacy of home—away from the eyes of everybody.* Every druggist sells Wine of Cardui. The price is' $l.OO per bottle. b 3

Their Own Fault, : Men who fail to pay their debts are their own worst enemies. It is a fact that men who employ labor“are compelled to hire men not in their debt because those who owe refuse to work out their accounts; while if debtors were more willing to work they would receive more employment a.g% would be the more cheerfully recommended as worthy of employment: lnnearly every instance our expérience has been that men owing us can never be depended on to work when requested, and we are compelled to pay money to men who do not owe us. Some persons are not entitled to symipathy for being poor. Men who refuse to ‘pay their debts when opportunity offers are barred from many ayenues of profitable - employment, while . the prompt paying. laborer is always in demapd.

INTERESTING HISTORICAL NOTES

And Many Points of Local History, Facts . and Figures Worth Preserving.

"BY 8. E. ALVORD. VI : MORE ABOUT THE INDIANS.

In our last number mention was made of an Indian village near the site of Ligonier in 1831 and 1832. The existence of a large Indian village there was stated on the authority of N. P. Eagles, who had heard Mrs. Susanna Hagan, a settler of 1831, describe it several years afterward — about 1840. Since Mr. Eagles gave me tha&information Mr. L. W. Welker, a prominent Albion attorney, received a letter from a Michigan lawyer, asking information as to the title of certain Indian lands in Noble county-and in that neighborhood; on which were located (wo Indian villages, namely, “Che-Chaw-cose’s village’’ and ‘“Loisa’s and Mas: ¢o’s village.”” The name of the first mentioned, from its similarity, icdicates that the village was on the section (21) granted by the government to Kich-wa~qua. wife of Pierre Navarre, in 1828. The other village, **Toisa’s and Masco’s,” must have been on the adjoining section (20), - which was at the same time granted to Pierre LeClere. . .

‘lt is strange that no mention is made of these two Indian villages in former sketches and that' no traditions came down concerning the chiefs or head men of those sayage communities. ‘The writer was well acquainted with many of the settlers who were contemporaneous with those villages, and must have been sacquainted with the Indians—lsaac Tibbot, the Hostetter family, D P.Bourie, the Engles, Shobes, Richard Stone and others, and scores of subsequent settlers who came within a few years after the nbandonment of the villages If there was talk about them-—stories of their character and their doings, of their members, etc,— they have beeun forgotten. Sketches, chronicles and histories are silent; and we can only note the fact of their existence, and make mind pictures of their activities and personalities. That they, were of the tribe of Pokagon is safely assumed. The old chief at that time'lived at South Bend or Carey Mission, where the treaty of 1828 was coucluded Alexis Coquillard, who purchased LeClere’s sectron (20) also lived there, and probably managed the negotiations for the grant in severalty to LeClere; and it is not impossible that LeClere was only the nominal grantee! The young chief, Pokagon, who spoke to the Old Settlers’ meeting at Albion ‘in 1894, was not in esse when that grant was. made, and probably does not know whether or not Kichwas=qua, the grantee of section 21, was a relative of his family. ' / Such questions are, in this -case, strictly historical omly. The {title is evidently good. But the motives and acls of siXty-seyen or sixty-nine years ago are legitimate elements of history; and if Kich-wa-qua was a'woman of only 22 years when she sold to John Roheér, she may be a ive today, aged &7 years and in possession of all her mental facuities. If so, she could tell us ull aboat it. Butthe IF is a formida~ ble one and casts a very dark shadow across the path of inquiry, Speaking of 1828, it now. appears almost certain that it was the year when Flat Belly’s brick residence and council house was built on section 30, in Sparta township. Much discussion aud dispute have occurred as to the date of the Reservation and building, and it has been generally believed that it was from eight to ten years earlier; but on a visit to Rome City a tew weeks ago the writer was favored with a view of a map in possession of M. T. Owen, Esq, from which it very clearly appears that FKFlat Belly's reseryation was certainly not eariter than 1828, and possibly as late as 1832. The dotted lines of delimitation of the treaties of 1828 and 1832 mingle, so as to raise a li tle doubt as to which proyided for the reservation.

. LATER. —Since writing the foregoing L bave discovered in .an old historical atlas (of St. Joseph county) that Pierre F. Navarre, whose wife, Kich-wa-qua, owned the Teal section (21), was a Frenchman from: Detroit who settled near Sonth Bend and married an Indian woman in 1820—being the first white settler in that neighborhood. Alexis Coquiilard was the next. Navarre and his Indian wife—Kich-wa-qua—were biessed with an exceedingly numerous family of offspring; and Navarre, being a man of liberal edu cation, gave to his children opportunities for cuiture far beyond the ordinary, and some of them were highly educated and accomplished. * Let us believe that the proceeds of the sale of their section in Noble county was used to forward the “education of their ehildren, and that Kich wa qua, the mother, experienced a thril]l of generops joy in executing that conveyance. The mortal remains of Pierre F. Nayvarre have long lain in the Notre Daine cemetery. Whether Kichawa qua outliyed him or not. we cannot say; but we take it for granted that she is dead —for at the time she sold that land she had besn married ten years, and was the mother of many children—and that was sixtyseven years ago. ‘ [To BE CONTINUED,] g e Townships Not Liable. . Farmers generally are not very well pleased with the decision of the appellate court that a township cannot be held liable for the value of cattle, horgses and hogs that sare killed or woriied by dogs. The decision indeed has caused some surprise among attorneys, for an act passed March 5, 1891, declaring townships liable in such cases has generally been held to be in full force and effect, and it is a fact such claims have been paid by various townships throughout the state under advice from the office of the attorney -general. The case pasged upon by the appellate court is one wherein suit was Qrought for a horse that had been bitten by a rabid dog. whose bite it is nlleged caused the death of the horse. $75,000 College for Warsaw, | President Kumier of the United Breth ren college of Missouri, at Trenton, Mgo.. has decided upon Warsaw lnd., for the loeation of the new Indiana eollege, for which the natjonsl assembly has already made a one hundred thousand dollar apopropriation. The eollege buildings will cost about $75,000 and will be erected at once. [t will be opened next fall, and, it is thought the membership will run as high as 400. The chureh 18 strong 1n the state, and a great deal of interest has been taken in the project. The location will be on the lakes. in . the vicinity of Winona.

A Commendable Proposition.

‘For many years past a rule or practice hus been observed in the’ circuit court of this county, as in many others no doubt, of permitting anyone charged with a misdemeanor, who was tinancially unable to procure counsel, to choose an attorney in the county to defend him ané the fee or expense of said attorney’s service' was paid by the county. Ia such ‘cases the prisoner usually selected a high priced attorney and the expenses of defending persons charged with crime in this county bhave in one or more years, we understand, amounted to eight hundred dol-lars-a year, and for the last eight years the county has paid annually an avérage of over five hundred dollars for this service. . Naturally enough the taxpayers have become weary of this expense and the matter has been discussed more or less by the people, and while everyone desires that persons charged with crime shall have a fair and impartial trial, yet the general consensus of opinion is that the expense of defending priconers has been greater than it should be. Yielding to this feeling, we understand that arrangements have been made. or are pending, with fair prospects of being perfected. by the commissioners of the county, acting upon the advice and recommendation of Judge Adair, by which the expense of defending priso ners will be materially lessened. The arrangement is to employ a first class competent attorney at a salary not to exceed $2OO a year to defend all persons charged with crimes or misdemeanors of any kind. 1n this way everyone will have-a fair and impartial trial, and the expense, while sufficient and equitable, will not be exhorbitant or be considered a burden to the taxpayers. If this plan succeeds Hon. Thos. M. Eells ot Albion, who by the way is particularly well qualified for the position. will probably be the attorney selected. The adoption of such a plan as outlined cannotfail to please a very large per cent. of the people, and at the same time insure to eyeryone justice and a fair trial. The plan is substantially the same as is practiced in DeKalb, Steuben, Allen and other counties in this part of the state, and the action of the commissioners and Judge Adair wili be generally commended by the people,—Kendallville Sun. _ T

The Quail Law

There has been some question about the quail law, and we reproduce it below,. Legiti mate hunters are free to kill the birds, but pot hunters are prohibited The law reads:

‘lt shall be unlawful for any person to pursue or kill within the State any quail, ruffed grouse or pinnated grouse, for purposes of sale, barter or traffic. or removal from the State, or to sell, barter, keep. expose for sale, or remoye from this State, any quail, ruffed grouse or pinnated -grouse caught or kilied in the State of Indiana.”

The penalty is a fine of $1 for any quail, ruffed grouse or pinnated grouse ‘‘so unlawfully pursued, killed, sold, kept, exposed or offered“for sale, or removed from the State.”’

So it seems that no one has any right to sell these birds. or offer them for sale. . .

Masonry In Indiaha.

The first Masonic lodge in Indiana Territory was organized at Vingennes in 1807, its dispensation being granted by the grand lodge of Kentucky on August 27th of that year. The same grand lodge granted dispensations for lodges at Salem, Corydon, Charleston, Madison, Lawrenceburg, Veyay and Rising Sun, while a lodge was organized in Brookville under a charter from the grand lodge of Ohio. A conyéntion of all these lodges was held at Corydon Dec., 11, 1817, and it was resolved to establish a grand lodge for Indiana. On Jan. 12, 1818, the con. vention met and elected Alexander Buckner of Charleston the first grand master of Indiana. The seat of the grand lodge was fixed at Charleston.
