SENATOR CONLOGUE was well treatad by Lieutenant Governor Gilbert in his make-up of committees. He is chairman of the committee on temperance and a member of the committee on public printing, federal relations, couuty and township business, congressional apportionment and natural gas, six important places. »

It 18 highly probable that the state will not be disturbed by a re-appor-tionment of congressional districts. The defeat of the Hopkins bill which provided for aloss of a congressman to Indiana, makes a _change in the make up of the districts unnecessary unless the republican politicié.ns hope to gain some advantage by rearranging the counties in this part of the state so as to cut down the majority in this distriet.

NOTWITHSTANDING the generous contributions made everywhere in the large cities toward Galveston’s relief after the terrible hurricane and gulf storm of last September, there is still dire need in the stricken city. A winter of extreme severity for that latitude finds thousands of its citizens poorly prepared or altogether unsupplied with shelter, food and clething. Contributions of bedding, clothes and stoves %re solicited, and it is to be hoped that contributions may be prompt and generous.

ANOTHER eminent Indianian has closed his career. William Pickney Fishback of Indianapolis is dead. Few men have stood higherin the esteem of those who understood theme and knew theme than Mr. Fishback. Twenty-five years ago he was editor of the Indianapolis Journal but in late years has given his whole attention to the law in which he stood in the front rank. He enjoyed the confidence of the’people and in all of his official positions has made an enviable record. He has always been an ardent Ropublican but was free’ in his eriticism of wba® he thought to be a departure from public poliey.

BAYARD GRAY of the Frankfort Cresent, president of the Democratic State Editorial Association, has appointed the following legislative committee: Bayard Gray, Frankfort Cresent; A. J. Dipboys. Columbus Herald; W. H. Rucker, Lawrenceburg Register; Reuben Daily, Jeffersonville News; W. Bent Wilson, Lafayette Journal; J. E. MecDonald, Ligonier Banner. The republican legislative committee is composed of the following: W. B. Campbell, Anderson Herald; M. W. Pershing, Tipton Advocate; F.T. Singleton, Martinsville Republican; J. D.Singleton, Martinsville Republican; H. A. Strohm, Kentland Enterprise.

TuE Nebraska legislature proposes to- make kidnapping a capital offense. 1t is remarkable, by the way, what a mass of anti-kidnapping legislation has been proposed since the Cudahy affair in Omaha. Laws have been [prepared in this state, in Illinois, lowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, the two Dakotas, as well as Nebraska, covering the matter of abduction for the purpose of securing a ransom. In three of the states the death penalty is proposed, and in the others the punishment is to be imprisonment for life. It is a little singular that the statute books of so many states should have been without adequate laws on the subject for so long a time.

CONGRESSMAN ROBINSON will soon open his campaign. The annual distribution of seeds being about to begin. The seed distribution is beginning to be looked upen as a joke in congress, and in the last session one of the members embalmed in the Congressional Record a poem about “The seeds that never grow.” The value of seeds as campaign documents is proved by the fact that the appropriation was increased at the last session from $130,000 to $170,000. They are reckoned as the best vote producing campaign documents ever franked. Not everybody will read speeches on heavy subjects, but everybody can understand a seed, even if it does not grow.

ANOTHER trust is likely to be formed. Absolute control of the vast interests of the nations express.companies may fall into the hands of the railroad financial powers. Preliminary steps toward such an object are said to have been taken under the guidance of J. Pierpont Morgan, Jas. J. Hill and others who are figuring prominently in the recently reported railway deals, and that the general scheme has been outlined. The report has it that the powers intend to econduct the express business of the country as a regular department of railroad operation, strong provisions being rhade to have all roads act in bharmony. This would mean that competition would be wholly wiped out and that thousands of men would be thrown out of employment. , ' TaE announcement is made that Ligonier is to have a new republican _ paper and that the first number will be issued within the next few weeks. It is to be called The Plain Dealer, - and will be edited and published by L. W. Pence who has been connected » Wi M RGompeon n the publice-

There is no field for the third paper in Ligonier but there are a number of leading Republicans who %{giving much encouragement to Mr. Pence’s proposed venture. The fellows that are back of it will find it pretty expensive to put a new paper on its feet in a community as well supplied as ours, and we predict that before they get through all will admit that they have an elephant on their hands. Our advice would be, don’t doit.

THE majority of the city council at Goshen has been democratic for several years but the republican appointees of the late republican counc¢il have been allowed to remain and several fat jobs are held down by the opposition. Since the summary removal of Court-bailiff KurtZ by Judge Ferrall, for no other reason than that he is a Democrat, a sentiment is growing that what is sauce for the goose might be sauce -for the gander and Democrats are beginning to ask why they could not be given places by a democratic council. Republicans are generally very solicitous about civil service reform, the good of the public service and the retention of well tried public servants, as long as they bear the proper party label, but when they find a Democrat in office they generally find a way to cut short the term of his service, notwithstanding any elaims that he may have by virtues of fitness.

MOUNT TALKS TO BOWMAN.

A Noble County Official Confers With Governor Mount—Maryin Kuhns :

the Interesting Subject.

The Indianapolis Journal of last Thursday morning contained the following: e T G iRI

“B. F. Bowman, deputy sheriff of Noble county, called on the governor yesterday afternoon and he and the governor and Attorney General Taylor held a consultation that lasted the greater part of the afternoon. The subject under discussion was the requisition for the return to Ohio of Marvin Kuhns, which was honored by Governor Mount last Saturday and taken by the messenger f{rom Ohio to Noble county to present to the sheriff.” ol e ‘“Bowman said he did not come to Indianapolis yesterday on business connected with the Kuhns requisition. On the contrary, he stated most positively that upto 8 o’clock Wednesday night of this week nothing had been heard about such a requisition at the sheritf’s office in Noble county. From the manner in which Governor Mount was talking to Mr. Bowman, as could be gathered by persons in the governor’s waiting room, it would seem that he did not put much credence in this statement. The governor received a letter Wednesday from Governor Nash, as related in yesterday’s. Journal, which showed plainly that the sheriff of Noble county has been served with the requisition for Kuhns and that he was waiting for a big reward to be offered before he would attempt to arrest the alleged desperado.” - ““To a reporter last evening, Bowman talked in a vague way about not caring to risk his life in an attempt to apprehend so dangerous a character for the small sum of $250, but he was vigorous in his denials of the charge that there had been any dereliction of duty on the partof either himself or his superior officer. ‘During the consultation Governor ‘Mount tried to communicate over the ‘ long distance telephone with the sheriff, but was informed that the official had left his office and would not return until late'in the afternoon. The governor and Mr. Bowman had a farther conference - last night. Bowman said during the afternoon that he came to Indianapolis yesterday to see about his chances of land--ling a federal appointment, the office he wants being connected with United States Marshall Kercheval’s department. Mr. Bowman took occasion to ridicule the story sent to this city by a correspondent, to the effect that the latter had held a lengthy conversation with Kuhns in his log cabin near Albion, Ind. “That fellow never saw Kuhns,” said Bowman, ‘‘but as a matter of fact,Kuhns’ lawyer went to the cabin and had the talk, while the newspaper man remained in town and wrote up the interview after the atorney told him what Kuhns had said.”

That Kuhns Interview

While at Indianapolis last week, as indicated in another column, Ben F. Bownan of Albion, gave out the impression.that the Kuhns interview published by W. H. Blodgett in the Indianapolis News and re-printed in these columns, was a fake, and that Blodgett did not visit Kuhns nor interview him at all. To the writer, Mr. Blodgett: emphaticaily denied this impeachment of his professional honesty and he says that he is able to prove that he made the visit as discribed, that he was accompanied by a well known citizen of this county who drove him to the Kuhns home and arranged for the interview. Blodgett saw Kuhns and his .detail of his experiences from the time that he left Indianapolis until he met his man 18 indeed interesting.

A Ligonier Preacher Recognized. The United Brethren general conference of the liberal branch, which is held every four years, will convene at Frederick, Md., on the 9th of next May. At the annual conference held in Columbia City last fall a number of ministers and laymen were named as candidates for delegates and the election resulted: Ministerial delegates chosen were the Rev. R. P. Burton, of Elkhart;the Rev. Dr. Bell of Dayton, wiio still retains a membershi{)’in St. Joseph conference; the Rev. W. F. Parker of Rich Valley; the Rev. J. A. Groves of this city. The lay delegates receiving the highest number of votes were O. E. Howard of Schooleraft, Mich., and Chas. Raymond of Huntington. : Notice to Water Takers.

Terribly Injured. Fred Shaffer, the well known Albion livery man, was terribly injured one day last 'week by the explosion of a “spanker,” an old time lodge device, in the hands of a fellow that did not know how to handle it. The same accident has happened so often that it was supposed that no one would have the hardihood to use ene of them. The New FEra says: “On Thursday the thing was loaded for the purpose of frightening Geo. Green, but before they were ready, George had left and it was thrown down. - Soon after, when Fred Shaffer was coming down a ladder, Chas. Callhan, who was present, thinking to frighten Mr. Shaffer himself, picked it up and struck him with it. In some way, just how no one seems to know, the wrong side of the board struck Mr. Shaffer and the full contents of the gas pipe went into his leg between the knee and hip. making and awful hole. The skin was bursted for a distance of twelve inches and the muscles and flesh under the skin shattered in a terrible way and mixed with pieces of cloth, powder and paper. The hole was big enough that two hands flatwise or two fists could be entirely placed therein. The bone was exposed for some distance.” Latest reports from Shaffer say that he is in a critical condition and may lose his leg.

A Grand Surprise,

One of the most enjoyable birthday surprises, was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lricky’s last Sunday, one mile west of Ligonier. In the morning Mr. Lucky and H. F. Knight drove out to Mr. Ben Blues and was entertained until almost neon. During this time the guests had arrived with well filled baskets, a grand dinner was prepared and waiting for him. . After all had partook of the luxuries, the afternoon was spent very enjoyable in games. Those present were: Mr. McNutt and wife, Nelson Earnhart and wife, Chas. Warker and wife, Webb Heffner and wife, Frank Growcock and wife, Geo. Heffner and wife, Tom Baughman and wife, Joe Caldwell and wife, Ed Crocket and wife, Lew Hiber and wife, H. F. Knight and wife ; Misses Dora Seymoure, Jennie MceManamy, Liou Growcock, Ethel Heffner, Beulah Crocket, Falma Hiber, Belle Knight; Messrs. Arby Earnhart, Glen Earnhart, Charley Heffner, Ray Heflner, Fred Heflner, Guy Hiber, Nervie Hiber, Claud Hiber, Lawrence Knight. The whole eyent was a most enjoyable and successful affair. ONE OE THE GUESTS.

The Latest From Kuhns.

It'is now said that Marvin Kuhns was in Fort Wayne Monday evening, and while at the Hotel Tremont he addressed a letter to the public at large, taking occasion tv say: ‘T desire to make a public statement in order to.counteract false impressions the press has heaped upon me. The governor of Ohio would never have offered the reward he has for my arrest had it hot been for this pernicious influence. I am not a murderer, I am not a thief, buta man. The people inmy vicinity will tell you this. My greatest desire and highest ambition is te live a quiet, honest, industrious life. God knows lam the reverse of a desperado. I revolt.at the thought of shedding blood, but I will defend myself, and I will never be returned to prison if I am compelled to plant all the sheriffs and detectives in the state. If they reach eut for that reward, I will meet them with a weleome, warm and breezy, and not be hard to locate. MARVIN KUHNS. ‘‘Persecution has driven men of superior intelligence to myself to desperation and destruction. . i uM. K.” The Dearness of Butter, One the most eminent authorities on consumption, Dr. Hughes Bennett of London, made the remark that “The main causes of consumption are the dearness of butter and the abundance of pastry cooks.” It is evident from this that the doctor believed that the poor and underfed are unable to .obtain sufficient fat, while the digestion of the wealthy class is upset by their rich pastries so that they do not assimilate the proper.amount of fat. In either case it is a question of fat. We must have fat in some form cheap enough for the poor, and easy enough for the enfeebled digestion of the rich. Cod liver oil in its erude condition is both too difficult, and too unpleasant for any one, butin the form of Scott’s Emulsion as manufactured by Scott & Bowné, it is not only easy to digest. and pleasant to take, but acts as a medicine in purifying the blood, as well as the very best kind of fat forming feod.

Pearce, will preach a sermon on the subject of the ‘“True Solution of the Temperance Question.” Saloon men, anti-saloon men and .everybody else cordially invited. You will hear nothing but the truth on this subject. Don’t stay away for fear of getting hurt. Come. 222 RN Y '~ Representative Gerber. In the legislative gossip the Indianapolis News says: ‘“‘Representative Eli Gerber of Noble county, Democrat, is 69 years old, and was a member of the House in 1883. Mr. Gerber has & map of Indiana that-he drew himself, republican counties being white and (Femocratic counties being black. When Mr. Gerber is introduced to a senator or representative he hauls out his map, and locates his friend. He has been in town only a few hours, but he had, by means of his map, met about all the legislators.” : Our Sheriff Knows a Thing or Two. Sheriff W. O. Elliott recently wrote to Sheriff Harry Bell of Noble county, asking him if the report that Marvin Kuhns had been located there was true and offering in the event that it was to go over and help get him. Sheriff Elliott has received a letter in reply, stating that the report is false, that Kuhvs is notin Noble county. ‘I know Harry Bell,” gaid Mr. Elliott to a Times re;igrter, “and if Marvin Kuhns was in Noble county he wouldn'’t. hesitate a moment, but go and get him*"’—Goshen Times. '

Capt. Geo, T. Barney of Elkhart, who was surgeon in the First Indianaregiment of volunteers in the Mexican war, has received a souvenir of that conflict in the shape of a fragment of the silk flag which was presented by the ladies of Logansport to Company Gon the eve of the comgany’s departure for the front, in une, 1846, and was carried throughout the war by that company.

THE BEAR MURDER TRIAL. - ] Solomon Bear on Trial for His Life—Killed His Son in Cold Blood—Plea : - of Insanity. 4 Last Monday at Albion the murder trial of Solomon Bear who is charged with the wilful and unprovoked murder of his son, Levi Bear, one day last August, was begun before Judge Jos. %V Adair. A special venire of one hundred jurors was drawn early last week and the work of selecting the jury was begun at once. Hon. R. P. Barr appointed by the court and D. V. Whiteleather are conducting the prosecution while L. W. Welker and H. C. Peterson are looking after the defense. During the opening fight it was plainly demonstrated that the accused would rely upon the clemency of the jury on account of age and a plea of insanity. All day Tuesday was putin in the endeavor to find a jury acceptable to both sides and it was not until late that the jury was sworn in as follows: Harvey Hull, Hiram Kilgore. John Stigner, W. A.Tyler, Geo.Feldheigser, William Whirlege, Geo. Jourdan, Jesse Shaw, Elmer Pfeffer, C. S. Brenninger, William Knepper; David Mock. All of the readers of THE BANNER will remember the circumstances surrounding the murder. Bear-is a farmer living near the Whitley county line in Noble township. He has always had the reputation of being a man of violent temper and has had almost constant trouble with his family and neighbors. It is said that he came to this county on account of trouble in Stark county, Ohie, where he was indicted for manslaughter. Bear had a large family but all had left home, several of the children living in the neighborhood. The old man was not in good health and his son-in-law, Isaac Growcock, and son Levi had gone to the house to assist in taking care of him and to look after the work about the farm. While there Growecock undertook to geta loaded shot gun that the old fellow insisted upon keeping ready for his enemies. He was unsuccessful however and left the gun in the hands of the now infuriated man. About this time the son approached and the father, lifting the gun shot him, the load making a horrible and fatal wound in the abdomen. : Bear was arrested at once and has been in the jail at Albion under the care of Sheriff Bell. He appeared in court Monday dressed in aG. A. R. uniform and looking much younger than his age would warrant. His friends claim that he fired the fatal shot when delirious from the effects of the fever and that he was not accountable for his crime. The evidence before the grand jury will be hard to controvert however, but it may be safely put down that the case will be stubbornly contested.

Chickens Come Home to Roost.

William E. Chandler complains that he was defeated for re-election to the United States senate by and through the influence of the New Hampshire railroad corporations. This is probably correct, and is to be deplored. At the same time Mr. Chandler should take congnizance of the fact that he deserves punishment for political offenses of an equally grave character. 1t was he who engineered the scheme to defraud Samuel J. Tilden of his seat in 1877, under the direction of that unscrupulous politician, Zach. Chandler, of Michigan. The latter got his punishment by being denied a re-election by the Michigan legislature, and the New Hampshire Chandler is now given a dose of his medicine. It doubtless has a bitter taste for William E., but be it eyver remembered, chickens will come honie to roost.— South Bend Times. :

A Fortunate Strike.

Col. J. M. Guffey, democratic national committeeman for Pennsylvania, and who has relatiyes in this locality, recently had the good fortune to strike a 20,000 barrel a day oil well In Texas. This is said to be one of the greatest oil wells in the world. With crude oil selling at almost a dollar a barrel, this will net him nearly $20,000 a day. Col. Guffey has operated over a’ wider range of territory than any other individual or company in the United States. He has become a multi-millionaire by means of his operations and every year adds largely to his possessions. It is stated that the Standard Oil company hasn’t a cent’s worth of interest in this well. [lf that be the case, it behooves Col. Guffey, as a Democrat and anti-monoplist, to put up a stiff fight against the Standard Octopus. ;

A. S. A. Banquet,

The annual banquet of the members of the old Anti-Smeller Club was held at Hotel Goldsmith last Friday evening, From all accounts of the affair which was given behind closed doors, the boys had a most interesting time. This was the twen-ty-seventh annual reunion and the members present were, Dr. W. A. Shobe, W. A. Sisterhen, G. M. Zimmerman, M. A. Hutchison, Geo. W. Fisher, Chas. Shobe, of this city and Albro Knepper of Toledo, 0., C. E. Braden of Minneapolis, Minn.; Lon D. Flemming of New York, found it impossible to be present and sent letters of regret. The supper served by mine host Morris, was pronounced by all one of the most elaborate spreads ever given to the club. Sack’s orchestra furnished the musie.

A Sudden Death.

At Elkhart last Saturday evening while on his way home from Indianapolis where he had been to look after important legal business and where he met the writer, seemingly in good health, Hon. Lewellyn Warner died very suddenly from an attack of apoplexy. He got off the train feeling ill and repaired to the Standard Hotel. A few moments later he was discovered dying by a friend. Warner wis a leading Goshen lawyer, was 55 years of age and one of the best known citizens of Elkhart county. In the late campaign he was democratic nominee for judge. Advertised Letters.

o Have You a Church Home? Do you attend chureh services? There are many strong reasons why you should. Will you consider them! We ask you to do so. Come to the Revival Meetings at the Methodist church. ; Reviyal services are being held each Sunday and Wednesday night at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor. It is our sincere desire to make these meetings helpful to all who attend; the professing christian, and also those who do not make any publie profession. The sermons are short, instructive, practical and evangelistic. @The songs and hyms are carefully seclected and rendered under the direction of Prof. B. F. Peters and a large choir. Our conviction is that it is the duty of the church to invite and urge the people to come to our Lord Jesus Chyist, for the. blessings that He, in Hi’%gfinite love and compassion is ready to bestow. ; There are many people who are not violently opposed to the claims of the christian religion, yet they are extremely indifferent. They do not seriously consider their relation to their God and His rightful authority over them. This is unjust; it is unwise; it is deeply sinful. Oh! my friend, receive this brotherly warnine. I would be untrue to‘ you as a pastor if I did not speak plainly of the imperative need of openly and publicly declaring your allegiance to Christ, the King of Kings. Ere long this short, busy life will end, and you will appear before the Judge of all the earth. What is your record? What is your life? What will be your destiny? That very, very many of my fellow citizens may immediately turn into the Lord and joyfully make a profession of christian faith is my sincere prayer. : A kind invitation is given to all. Strangers and visitors in our city will receive a-warm Christian greeting. On Sunday, Jan. 20th, our special revival meetings will begin ; will eontinue for two weeks. 1 am very truly your pastor.
