Later reports from Tyner confirm the news that the scarlet fever is prevallng to an alarming extent, but it is in a milder form than was at first supposed. All the cases are convalescent. The Indiana supreme court holds that a mechanic's lien must be forciosed with in a year, aad that a person not made a party to the foreclosure suit is not bound by it after the year has expired. Laat evening, Paul, the young son of Geo. Thayer, accidently knocked his head against the sharp edge of a door and inflicted a severe ilesh injury. He is doing well under the careful attendace of a physician. A farmer near South Bend has had trouble for several years with trespassers. He has ordered the same man oil bis land on different occasion?, and on Tuesday, peppered him liberally with buck shot, when hemadean appearance. The courts will take care of nun now.

is a serious affair to the person tried; but trials and investigations are courted by me on my fine line of
HARDWARE. Two churches were used and Stanley would talk In one awhile and then go to the crowd in the other. An Klkhartan, who is in a position to know, says t hat no more race meets will be given in the Barney Park in that city as the two attractions already given there have not paid expenses. As a matter of fact it seem as though har ness races all over tne country have been poorly patronized. The business men held a meeting again last evening to aid in securing subscriptions for the Dunkard rublishj ing House. That establishment will no doubt be under way, in our city within the next month. As has been previously stated, the Dunkards have been in formed to come and their advent in our city is no longer a question with us, but only with them . From Saturday's Dally.

Mrs. Susanna Cripe has returned from North Dakota where she has resided for several years. Her husband but recently died in that state. The schools at Tyner will be opened next Monday. Investigations of the hea'th board reveal the disease to be in a much more moderate form than was at first supposed. Ohio has a law to compel a county where a case of lynching oocurs to pay 85,000 to the relatives of the man killed. It is probable that an effort will be made to have a similar law passed in this state. The Smararitan band gave a concert at the Holland school house last evening. The debating society dealt with Um question, "Does circumstances make the man?" It was decided in the affirmative. John i). Miller, residing east of Bourbon, lost a large barn Mooday by fire, in which perished nine head of horses, five cows, three calves and a number of hogs. He also lost a large amount of hay, buggies, wagons and farming implements. His loss exceeds $.'1,000. No insurance.

Some excitement was created yesterday on the announcement of a case of scarlet fever in the Fletcher family on east Laporte street. The board of health were summoned and agreed that it was not that disease. The commissioners co.irt was in ses sion today. Among other legal transactions they granted the following licenses for saloons: Jacob Garver, at Bremen, Otta A. Walter, at Bremen, Abner Q. Vinnedge, at Lapaz. The price of hogs has reached the lowest figure in twenty years and many farmers are felling off close iu order to save their corn.

There is a growing feeling that exPresident Harrison is most likely to be elected. Wood and coal thieves are abroad. Several families in the different parts of the city have complained of rapidly decreasing wood piles and bins which have been cleared of anthracite. The coal cars along the railroad tracks are also being looted. A certain blacksmith, of Bremen, drove over Saturday evening and being somewhat engrossed with his oottle, forgot to tie his horse. The result was that the faithful animal lost no time in getting back home. When the blackSmith at a late, frosty hour looked for hie rig, he looked in vain. He was compelled to walk to Bremen.

The new bridge is a source of grati tication to those who live in east Plym outh, lor months they have been compelled to hobble over contemptible footbridges or at times make circuits eight or ten blocks out their way in order to cross the river. Teams, too, have been put to a disadvantage, but now every obstruction has been cleared. The new bridffe is a delight to the eye and the structure is as near perfect as could be desired . Saturday evening the citizens of Plymouth became curious over an il lumination in the west which gave indication of a barn or house burning near the city. It was undoubtedly a combustic D of some Bort but its prox imity to Plymouth was grossly mis judged. Fire at night has the delusive effect of bmg near, no matter how far away. It will be remembered by some of our older citiiens that in the year '71, the fire department was cal'ed out to fight a fire supposed to be near our court house in North Plymouth but which ultimately proved to be In Walk erton.
KNOX COURTHOUSE
Mark ( unn tfmm Building. n Complete. oxi 190,000. Knox. Ind., Dec. 4. Starke county's tine new courthouse was accepted from the contractors Saturday by the Hoard of County Commissioners. This is perhaps one of the finest courthouses in the state outside of the larger cities. The contract for the construe' ion of this building was let April 24th, 18S7. to Caldwell A Drake of Columbus, Ind., Wing ,v Mahurin, of Fort Wayne, furnishing the archtect oral work. Previous to the letting of the contract the board of commissioners, two of them being republicans, in company with the architects, visited several courthouses of recent construction. The contract price for the building was s.jT.OOO, but the foundation was changed from concrete to stone, the zinc roof was changed to til ing and many other important and useful changes being ma' e, which run up the price for the building, with furniture, water works and sewerage, graded yard and cement sidewalks, to $120,000. Ground was broken on May 10, 1807, and on Julv 4 the cornerstone was laid. The board of commissioners is composed of W. T. Collins, democrat; William Miller and Fred E. Yergin, republicans, with Auditor August H. Knass man, democrat. Mr. Collins, though a democrat, worked with the majority and is in hearty accord with the entire proceedings. Starke county has a bright future before her, and with her splendid courthouse as a starter, it is believed she will show rapid and sound development. Novelty Works Red new Debts. WW . a ... ... eoeiieve that it will interest your readers to know that dormer th nast six months our mortgage indhtednes D l nas neen reduced about 832J00. About 813,000 of this was paid by other people who had given us their notes which we discounted and for which we are liable only as endorsers. These were secured hy our mortgage but were paid by the makers, which reduced the mortgage that much. We feel that this is a very good show mg especially wbeo it is remembered maxims payment was made after the six dullest mouths of the j ear. We are now just entering upon our busy season W e now have on our pay roll 816 hands and the last, pay roll amounted to about 86,000, We have the trade of the largest bi cycle manufactures in the United States, including the Western Wheel Works. who take 1,000 rims per day now and have notihed us that they will want 1,600 rims per day by the middle of December; also the (iormully & Jeffery .irg. o., Monarch t ycle Mfg. Co,, A. l eatherslone ft Co. and the Ames & Frost Co, which are practically all the large manufacturejs of bicycles in Chi cago. -also the Crawford Mfg. Co. of Hagerston, Maryland, Overman. Wheel t ompany, iiartlord Cycle Co. and other large eastern nanufacturers be sides a large foreign trade. Thepe con tracts assure us of a market for all the goods we can produce lor trie rest of the season which ends the middle of June. We have have also made very favor able contracts tor our supplies of material and everything indicates very success! ul business during the coming winter and spring. Indiana Novelty Co. Dead Drunk but Not Dead. iast r nuay night while E. Spangle was driving southwest of this city in the neighborhood of the Hethel church he met four men who had dismounted from their wagons and were perambu lating up and down with lanterns W herj he questioned them, they anwered they were in search of a dead man. It afterward developed that they hal met a driverless team of horsea and a beer wagon and supposed rightly that they would lind the man who occupied the seat somewhere along the road. After half an hour's search they found him in 1 miuuie 01 tne roaa, unconscious and with hie face turned toward the pale stars which, however, were at that time obscured by clouds. He was in an exceptionally good position for instant death or mutilation from the hoofs of any passing horse. Mr. Spangle states that hie own horses would have run over the poor incorrigible had not he been forewarned. Upon his discovery he was aroused and his life thus probably saved troin being frozen out iu this uncommon game of "freeze out" if not from a worse death. The individual is a citizen of Plymouth and has driven a wagon here for years. Wrerk it I Wttlkertnii. A very serious wreck oecured on the Baltimore ft Ohio railroad in Walkerton Saturday. The result was the destruction of considerable property and the injury of a number of persons, two of whom will probably not recover.

Conductor Thomas was terribly injured about the head and body and will probably not recover. Itrakeman Cooper had one ankle broken, lirakeman HugheR was badly hurt about the shoulders and Fireman Nilee had his left leg sprained. Engineer McClure was cot hurt.

A. Inter A Vieiotts Attempt. One of our citizens, C. II. Uurnett, had a narrow escape from an assassin recently. He was returning home late one evening and was midway on the sidewalk between the Vandalia and L. K. & W. tracks on Madison street when he felt a hard rap on the back and heard a noise as though someone had brought his foot down forcibly just behind him. He looked back, but it was too dark to see more than a few inches and he could discern no one. When he got home he discovered a rent in his coat, which had been cut by some sharp instrument. His natural conclusion was either that someone had hurled a knife at him, which made the noise referred to whiie dropping, or that an assassin had hid in the ditch beside the walk and struck at him when he parsed.
