He subscribed and hereafter will know that it is the be&t. A smooth talking stranger billed Richmond for the exhibitioa of a double-headed freak, contracted a number of debts, sold tickets at the door to 200 and more would-be spectators, and then disappeared. The spectators made a rush for that portion of the hall cur tained oil, to find nothing there. A. W. Stout, who was expelled from the ministry by the Indiana M. E. conference, and is now conducting a barber shop at Rising Sun, has brought suit against the churches at Hartford, Milton, New Home, Mt. Pleasant and Mt.

Two of the worst drunks of the sea son passed in front of the Independent otlice today. They were simply giving good-bye to the old year. The Methodists of Indiana are planing to raise a fund of SOOO.OOO as a twentieth century gift with which to endow DePauw university at Greencastle. F. D.

The täte tax board will make a great effort to get all life insurance policies with a paid up surrender value taxed by a law that they say will be put before the legislature.

He will be succeeded by Jasper Truer formerly connected with lie Truth, but more recently attached to the Uristol Banner. The Goshen Times states that C. F.

The eale of fruit trees in Elkhart county during the last few years has been remarkable ind promises to be a great source of revenue in after years. The friends of Lizzie Skinner, who was stabbed to death at Bloomlleld by Dr. Gray Thursday, formed a mob and intended to lynch the murderer, but were outwitted by the oilicers. Dr. Gray was spirited away last nignt to parts unknown. It is believed that he was taken to Jeffersonville for safe keeping. A certain editor found the following shoved under his ollice door one morning recently evidently written by a man who felt taking his local paper was a waste of time and money: ! tnink fokes ot tew stop payen out munny ler paypers. My daddy didunt aud everybudy sed he wuz the intelligentest man in the kentry and razed the smartest family of boize that ever dug taters." Two newly married couples played smart with a Warsaw restaurant keeper the other night. Spoons and other articles disappeared from the table while they were eating, and the waiter was kept busy replenishing the table furnishings. When settling time came the proprietor quietly took out S4 for four milk stews from the bill laid down by the men, and as quietly opened the door and bowed them out. A correspondent says there is a certain family not a great distance from Mishawafa in which the tobacco habit, is a conspicuous factor. The husband chews; the wife smokes and takes an occasional bite off the molasses cured plug while the quartet of children the youngest is seven years, all use the weed. When all get their pipes loaded and the puffing commences the picture is said to be an edifying one and a scene of inspiration for the anti-tobacco advocates. The hope of the eighty-odd convicts in the northern prison who are serving specified terms that the way might be

opened for tneir release on habeas corpus proceeding?, because they were not sentenced under the indeterminate sen tenre litv, has been dashed to the prnind, at leset for the time being. The attorney for a convict named Nesbit in the reformatory at Jeffersonville, who is confined on a definite sentence, appealed to Judge Baker, of the federal court, for release, but the application was denied Judge Baker said that the

question was one for the state court to pass upon, as it concerns the criminal law of Indiana. To have the men who have demonstrated their organizing ability by great business successes tell their secrets of organization, is the object of the editor of the Cosmopolitan. That he is succeeding, is proved in the January issue by the article from Charles R. Flint, who is regarded in New York as one of the three or four ablest organizers in America. He is presideLt of the Rubber Trust and the head of the great mercantile house of Flint, Eddy & Co., which has its ramiticatio-.is in almost every port of the world. Mr. Flint tel very openly what makes for success in the organization of business. His articles may be read with interest by the Rockfellers, the Armours, and the Wanamakers as well as by the humblest clerk seeking to fathom the secret of business success. From Monday's Dally.
