Don't Tell ANYONE TO LOOK PLEASANT.

Give them a good reason to be pleasant im Fancy Novelty. Mischief in the Air. Monday night the town was turned topsy turvy. Every pair of steps capable of being moved, every wagon not under lock and key, every sign which could be loosened from its hangings was carried oil' and thrown in some out-of-the-way corner. When morning dawned the Vandalia platform was covered with wagons, gates and other private property. It seems more than useless to protest against these outrages. Efforts have been made to prevent the removal and destruction of property on Hallowe'en but when even the protesters themselves take a hand with the looters, the disease seems incurable. The desire to destroy is so inherent in man that Hallowe'en is hailed as a night of indulgence wherein a burning savage desire inherited from ancestors of old, may be gratified. A High Jumper. Thursday afternoon as Mrs. Samuel Kuilnear of Tyner was about to start for Plymouth her horse became fright ened and ran away. The animal was hitched to a light road wagon. In the first of its career Mrs. Ituffnear was thrown to the ground and badly bruised. The horHe did not stop, but made for a rail fence along the road side and leaped it taking the wagon along. It then dashed across the field, quite ready to clear the next fence but was headed off by a farm-hand and finally caught. Strange enough, the wagon was not broken. Mortuary. Lawrence Foreman, aged 1 year and B months, the son of David Foreman, died Sunday night about ten o'clock. The funeral occurred Tuesday at 10:30 a. m. at the Dunkard church five miles southwest. Christian Church Dedicated. The dedication of the new Christian church, of Argos, took place Sunday. The service was conducted by Dr. D. II . Long, president of Antioch College, of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The structure is of brick. It is lighted with electricity.

THE END IS AT HAND.

The l.7th Regiment Received About $.OtOOO Tuesday - Regret Over Col. Stutlebaker's Absence. Tuesday the paymaster began to settle the affairs of the 157th. Col. May has already the papers of nine companies, which he said were in tip top shape. These have been handed to the paymaster, who will Fettle with the men as soon as he can. As soon as the men receive their money from the paymaster the captain hands them their discharges. These companies will leave for their homes immediately. Col. May said he hoped to have the whole regiment discharged by Wednesday noon. Then the paymaster will take a breathing spell. Col. May says that everything is working perfectly now and that all soldiers will he home for the election. Discipline is very rigid these last few days in camp. Guards have been maintained during the day and the same were doubled at night. In order to avoid any possible Halloween exuberance which was anticipated, strict orders were issued that the organizations should confine themselves to their own quarters, as there is considerable bad feeling between the two regiments, owing to several rubs that they have had during the past davs. The regiments regret that they have had no opportunity to get together, as there is considerable speculation among the men as to which is the stronger. Oflicers are not permitted to leave the camp without permission from headquarters, and at least one officer must remain with his company at night and be responsible for their conduct. In spite of the sadness of the parting, never since the return of the soldiers from their furlough has there been such a general feeling of good humor as yesterday afternoon. Home is dear to the soldier's heart. Only a few of the officers are yet uncertain about their accounts. A few captains may be held longer on this account. There is a general feeling of regret in the i57th regiment, however, that Col. Studebaker cannot be present. The remark is heard constantly among the boys, "1 only wish the colonel could be here." A subscription paper is now being circulated, and money will be raised to pur chase and present to Colonel tude baker a handsome sword. Colonel May and Chaplain Medbury will also receive testimonials of the affection of the men. A permanent organization of the of ficers of the regiment is under way, It is significant of the good feeling in the regiment that every one enters into the plans with eagerness. The first meeting will be held next fall at South Bend in honor of Colonel Studebaker. About 850.000 was brought to camp to pay the 157tb regiment. The comoanies will immediately start for their homes in almost every case. The trouble over the sale of The Sun, which had criticised the conduct of the men on the street cars, was renewed Saturday. The newsboys who first took the papers out to the camp were forced to get on a car and come back to the city. "Itubeu Glue'' and his wagon was then sent to the camp. The men had just finished dinner when the wagon drove in, and as soon as it was recognized, they swarmed around the wagon, tore off the signs, took the papers and destroyed them. "Rube" was hauled out of the wagon and narrowly escaped a tossing in a blanket. He was permitted to get back into his wagon, after some argument, and escorted to the gates by several hundred hooting soldiers. Orders were also given him not to come back. Just as the procession reached the gates, Adjutant Powell and Major Hich, of the 158th, met the mob and ordered the men back in the grounds. Captain Capron, officer of the day, and Captain Gilbert, of the 157th, accompanied by several other officers, came to the assistance of Major Hich and Adjutant I Powell, and the men fcere forced back inside the grounds. Four men were placed under arrest. Teachers Have a Ciood Time. The Misses Smith and Crowley entertained a number of their bachelor maid friends at the home of Mrs. Losey on Center street Monday evening. Several interesting and innocent devices for amusement were put into effect with wonderful results. A large fortune cake was divided among them and the nie nacs which had been baked in it were allowed to decide the future lot of each to whom they befell. Many were the expressions of delight when it Mas found that some had husbands in store. It so happened that a few of those participating were skillful readers of the future as set forth in the infallible language of tea grounds. Each who was dissatiBtied with the future

which had been prognosticated by the j

cake, was put at ease when the other method was resorted to. Tiring of fortune telling, some one struck up a lively tune and all participated in a most artistic execution of the Virginia reel. The tune was changed to a waltz but this was too slow. The old Virginia reel held sway again until the lamp became so dizzy that it fell from the chandelieis. This produced another change in the program. After the oil had been rubbed from the carpet with an admixture of ejaculations and unnecessiry mannerisms a dish of apples was brought out. Each peeled her apple aud swung the skins behind them so that she might decipher her future husbands initials. Those attending the party were: Misses Good, Carpenter, liaker, Thompson, Wiltfong, Metsker, Drum, ilutsel, Lockwook and Mis. Kleinschmidt. Mrs. James Gilmore, jr., Mrs. Olive Cook and Mrs. Losey were honorary guests. TOO MANY WIVES. Jacob Rehner, of Ktna (ircou, .'laying Too Many Cards. A peculiar case has developed at Mishawaka. which will have its sequel at Etna (ireen. Mrs. Jiehner, of Colorado Springe, Col., reached Mishawaka Monday, where she expected to meet, aud marry her former husband, Jacob IJehner, who after mysteriously disappearing, secured a divorce in the St. Joseph circuit court. It developed on her arrival that Uehner was living with a woman whom he married in Kosciusko county the sensational allegation being made that wite No. 2 is guilty of bigamy in not having procured a divorce from her first husband. IJehner it is alleged, wrote his first wife a bitter denunciation of his second wife, and pleading with her to join him in Mishawaka, where he would have the decree of his second marriage set aside. Mrs. IJehner, uot finding her former husband, lett last night for Etna Green, where she avers that Behner's unlawful wife shall figure in a sensational deuounient. BISHOP FOR SOITH BEND. . Well Defined Kuinoi That One is to be Named. South liend is to have a Catholic bishop according to a well defined report from a 6ource that is regarded as good. How soon one will be named is not stated but it is believed it will be deferred until after the completion of the two new Catholic churches now being built in the western part of that city. Who is to be chosen to till the important otlice is not given out, but it is stated that the reason for naming a bishop is because of the large number of Catholic churches there. Supreme Court Decision. An aged mother has a right to give her share of her husband's land to a bachelor son who has lived with and taken care of her until death. The supreme court so held in the case of David Slayback against Eliza A. Witt aud others. Slayback was a bachelor, eixty years old. who had always lived with and worked for his parents. His mother was ninety-one years old. and owned a farm which she received from her husband's estate. All her other children had farms of their own. She gave her f arm to David, and the other children sued lor a division of the land. The circuit court decided in their favor, but the supreme court reversed the case and overruled a petition for a rehearing. A I'ouud Party. A pound party was given on Mrs. Uert Buchanan Tuesday night. It was a complete surprise. It was through the efforts of little Miss Kosa McLaugh ho that the affair was gotten up. A most delightful time was the result. Those present were: Mis-es - Ron Mclaughlin (jtortrods Oam Basel Keptof Messrs Carl U lricli riattr flhtnrrj Lizzie Gam Lottie Fuller Tyna Kopier Nelson McLaughlin Gtaranoe Tosme) Col. Studebaker Con vahclng. Col. Ceorge Studebaker, of the 157th Indiana Volunteers, is able to be up ani around, after a long siege of illness. He will probably not get back before the regiment is mustered out. The Colonel has been at home in South Bend for nearly two months. Another Wedding. August Hilleiiian and Lena Shoner, the latter ot South Plymouth, were united by Kev. Father Lemper, at the Catholic church yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock. Both are excellent young people and receive the congratulations of their manv friends.

DISTRICT IN DOUBT.

INDIANAPOLIS Nr.WS THINKS THIRTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CLOSE. The Indianapolis News a Republican Taper. Principally Owned by Senator rail-hanks Sizes I p Marshall and other Counties in t Iiis District It Concedes j that the Marshall County Democratic Ticket Will Have 350 Majority aud j Hathaway Nearly OOO. W. II. Blodgett, a special representative of the Indianapolis News, visited South Bend and other portions of the Thirteenth Indiana congressional district last week collecting data for an article on the political situation in the district. As a result he presents in the News of November 1 an interesting account of the political situation as he sees it opening with the 18 vote of the district as follows; Kellison. Roy6e. Klkhart 5,033 Fulton 2,370 Kosciusko 3.39U Marshall 3,570 Pulaski 1,943 Starke 1,244 St. Joseph 6,360 0,092 2,3;y 3J70 1,384 1,21.1 7,100 Total 23,028 25,514 Koyse's Majority 1,580 Mr. Blodgett then says: "In spite of this great republican majority the democrats are claiming the district; that is, many democrats who dont live in the district are doing so. Most of the democrats here say that it is doubtful. I do not think there is a shadow of a doubt. The republicans will carry the district, but it may be by a reduced majority, yet even that is not certain." The figures of domocrats on the coming ele3tion as given the writer are as follows: Democratic Majorities Fulton county Lai Starke county 150 Pulaski county 400 Marshal) county 000 Total 1,300 ltepuhlican Majorities. Kosciusko county 700 Elkhart county 400 Total 1,100 Continuing the writer says: "Thus the republican nominees will come to St. Joseph county 200 votes short. The result depends on what that county will do. It is very uncertain in politics. In 1880 (Jartiefd carried it by almost 500, in 1884 Cleveland carried it by about the same majority, and in 1888 Cleveland got it by 305. In 18(J2 it was almost 1,000 democratic. In 18i4 it was nearly 1,000 republican. In 1886 the republicans got it again by a large majority. The Congressional Nominees. "The democratic nominee for congress M. M. Hathaway lives in Winamac, Pulaski county. A. L. Brick the republican nominee, lives in South Bend. Mr Hathaway told me he was satisfied that he would be elected. Mr. Brick declared that he would surely be sent to congress, so, there you are. I am inclined to think that Mr. Brick comes nearer sizing up the situation than the other man." Mr. Blodgett refers to the fight for the success of the county ticket by each party and then says that he found that a quiet fight is going on against T. E. Howard, democratic nominee for supreme judge. He says the light is so strong that Mr. Howards friends are "writing to the newspapers in his behalf." Continuing the writer says: "In 1890 the gold democrats had a fine organization in St. Jobeph county. There was a club of 00 in Mtshawaka, and 150 in South Bend. lu addition, there were about 300 not identitied with clubs in the county, but who voted the republican ticket. About 50 of these have gone back to the old democratic party. There are in the county now about 400 gold democrats that will vote the republican ticket straight. They are men that do not depend on politics for a living and are not after ollice, but that vote according to their convictions, "The man who was chairman of the gold democratic committee in 1NU0 is now assisting some of the free silver candidates, but he is a professional pol ltician, and it is his following that has left the gold democrats. These gold democrats, too, ueed to contribute liber ally to the campaign fund, and this year they are not doing it. In fact Mr. Stuart MacKibbin, one of the best known lawyers in Northern Indiana, when approached for a contribution to the democratic county committee, told

the chairman that he would not give a cent this year to help along the free silvei cause, and the chairman said that he was being rebuffed by men all over the county from whom he expected a good-sized check. The Populist ami Others. "The populists have a county ticket, but it has almost fallen to pieces al ready, and there will hardly be a corporal's guard supporting it when election day comes. The prohibitionists will poll about 200 votes in that county, but they may fall short ofthat number. They certainly will not run ahead of it. "Misawaka is South Bend's little sister. Jt has about 5,000 population, and a number of factories that are running to the full capacity. The workingmen there are apparently well satisfied and jthe labor vote will likely go along with the labor vote in South Bend. The republicans can count on 40 gold democrats in Mishawaka.

"In Pulaski county the democrats expect to increase their vote, though there are a gooil many populists in that county. The populist candidate for congress. J. II. Korner. lives in Pulaski county. It is said that the democrats promised Mr. Korner a place on their ticket, but failed to make their promise good, and Mr. Korner got up a ticket of his own, with himself at its head. In this instance it is thought that the populists vill not give much aid to the democrat ic ticket, 6o tar, at least, as the congressional ticket is concerned. siark and Marshall Countie-. "Starke is a small county, and both sides are claiming it. The republicans carried it on the county ticket two years ago because of court house irregularities on the part of democratic officeholders, and t hey hope for the same cause to carry their ticket again. The republican candidate tor congress carried it by 2o. but the democrats amy that he can uo1 do it again, and are claiming 150 majority lor the democratic nominee. "In 1 SV 1 Marshall county went republican f or ttie lirst time in its history on the whole ticket. The democrats had been lor years handing down the county otlices, from cbief to deputy. The repubheans took charge of the books and found a few errors, not of a large amount, but enough to show that there had been opportunities that had been realized. They started the cry of ring, and a lot of democrats who for years had been trying to break into the otlices for themselves or friends joined with them . "What the republicans called the ring' is making a strong fight, and the others who want otlice themselves are assisting the republicans. For that reason. I think the democratic majority in Marshall county will be reduced, but there is no chance for the republicans to carry it unless a political miracle happens. The normal democratic majority is between 400 and 500 and the republicans hope to cut this down to 350 on the county ticket. On the congressional ticket two years ago the demo cratic majority was 000. and I doubt if it will be reduced a great deal from that figure. The lew gold democrats in Marshall county will vote the republican ticket for congressman and representative and the democratic county ticket. There are one or two excep Hons to this in the case of men who have been made angry by the democrats, who will vote the straight republican ticket. -The result in Fulton county will be about the same this year that it was in 18'.3. The democrat! will probably have a majority for congress of from 150 to 200. There is no life in either party in the county, and a good many d ) not care a straw which way the election gots. Klkhart county is attracting attention from the leaders in both parlies and both are claiming it." A "I enter" to Societ This week s Demoetat has plainlv brought out the moral worth of the alleged proprietor of the Republican. Afterstating that the Kepuohcan's columns have been shamefully dis graced by an aggregation of the most unscrupulous, contemptible lot of political scalawags that have ever been known In Marshall county, the Hernocrat sizes up the alleged "third fiddle" proprietor as follows: "The new proprietor of the Republican learned the printing business in the Democrat oillce several years ago but he seems not to have profited by the lessons of editorial decency which we fried to instill into him. His conduct during the campaign now about at an end has been on a level with the pack of hounds he has permitted to personally attack us since the beginning of the campaign to the present time, and in self defence we must ßever all connection with him personally and with

1 his paper."
