A confidence game, that is being worked by a gang of sharks on the rural route patrons throughout the state, has prompted the department to send tho following notice to postmasters to be published and posted for the information of the public:

A charming exhibition of new goods. Nothing like it before in New Richmond. Among the new shipments just received are handsome lines of new

“Notice to patrons of the Rural Free Delivery.

“Information has reached the post office department that a gang of swindlers have been traveling about the country, over the rural free delivery routes, representing themselves as inspectors. Their scheme is to pretend to inspect rural free delivery mail boxes and then demand from the patrons the sum of $3 or $4 as rental. Patrons should beware of these designing schemes and report any such conduct to the postmaster.

“It is tihe habit of the swindlers to work their schemes shortly after the rural routes are established. When the routes are new, the patrons are not familiar with the requirements, and are easily led to believe that it is necessary to pay rental on the mail boxes. On the contrary the delivery is absolutely free and there is no charge of any kind against the patrons.

On Wednesday afternoon of last week Edgar Slavens of Linden as Prosecutor Reeves’ deputy drove briskly into town and in a little while something of a mighty stir was being whispered ’round, and that Mr. Reeves’ second was here looking up violators of the Sunday observance law. The next morning awoke with the rumor that ten such violators had been spotted, seven of whom had been kindly requested to appear that day before his “nobs” in Crawfordsville and settle accounts, for what not one of them knew. But they didn’t settle; they didn’t go to Crawfordsville. Later in the day it was generally reported that Mr. Reeves had drawn in his horns, had so instructed his deputy, and would not prosecute further and gave it as his reason that the citizens generally of the towns did not wish it. It was further intimated too that the generous Mr. Reeves was willing to .bury the hatchet good and deep, that ho had some fears of losing his own neck under the keen edge of his own instrument of war, having at last probably seen that the fault-finding with his yanked-up dupes was usually really only the reflection of the mote in his own sleepy optics.

During the past week Mrs. Wm. Holycross, of Hillsboro, was declared of unsound mind and taken to the Indianapolis hospital for treatment. For several days past the woman had shown unmistakable signs of insanity, and it was thought best to lake her to the hospital, in the hopes that she might regain her reason. The patient is the wife of Wm. Holycross and is the mother of three bright children. They had a happy and cheerful home in Hillsboro, and now that it is broken by the absence of the mother, their sorrow can better be imagined than described. Mrs. Holycross was an industrious woman, a devout christian and highly esteemed by all who knew her. The cause of her mental derangement is attributed to the fact that she read so much about the Carrie Nation crusade now going on in Kansas that her mind became affected. Her hallucinations are that the whole nation is at war and that people are roaming about armed with hatchets cutting heads off like they do in China.

We are prepared to do you good in the way of prices and goods.

SCOTT'S BILL DEFEATED.

SIN OF USING TOBACCO.

On Wednesday of last week the Indiana House of Representatives defeated the Scott temperance bill, drawn and offered by Representative Scott of this county. The bill was to the effect that where a

In early colonial days the use of tobacco was considered far more sinful and degrading than indulgence in intoxicating liquors. Oldtime legislation reveals some curious attempts to check the spread of the “creature called tobacco.” Landlords were fined if they permitted it to bo brought into their taverns. No one could take tobacco publicly nor in his own house or anywhere else before strangers. Two men wore forbidden to smoke together, and no one could smoke within miles of the meeting-houses on the Sabbath day. In Connecticut in early days a great indulgence was permitted to travelers—they were allowed to smoke once during a journey of ten miles.

remonstrance was secured against an applicant for a liquor license the same remonstrance was to hold good against all applicants in the ward or township for six months. With the defeat of this bill it is quite likely that there will be no changes made in the present liquor laws by this legislature.

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.

Local newspapers have made some considerable advances from what they were a few years ago, and it is not improbable that they will soon fill their sphere in as dignified a manner as the metropolitan newspapers are now filling their particular sphere. Commenting upon the question a man whose boyhood was spent in the country, but who for years had lived in a populous city said:

That Mr. Reeves could find nearly every merchant and business man of our town a tresspasser against the statutes of Indiana demonstrates something of the wholesale pulling of pocketbooks that is granted to his “highness” by the wild interpretations of an excellent Sunday observance law, and the range thus given him includes every man who is tendered monetary value for value received as his prey. It is a law and a right of both state and citizens which is too badly abused and misused by this state’s high officiary.

Don't get left on Flour. You know the indications are for higher prices. There has already been a slight advance. Belter take advantage of the present low prices; it is good property to own.

SALE DATES.

The case against John L. Church of Linden, charged with resisting an officer, was set for trial this (last Friday) morning in ’Squire Buck’s court and the defendant came down cocked and primed for battle. He was very agreeably surprised, however, when Prosecutor Reeves announced his intention of dismissing the case. Mr. Church, it will be recalled, refused to allow a deputized constable to read a summons to him last week when the prosecutor was holding a court of inquiry at Linden. —Crawfordsville News-Review.

“Well, you may poke fun at the country weekly as you will, but I fail to see why the fact that a resident of Unionville has lately bought the place of another resident of Unionville, and intends to move into it, may not be as well worth chronicling in the local paper of Unionville as the fact that a dog of a famous actress died on the steamer is worth two-col-umn pictures and a half-column description in city dailies.

The editor of the Vindicator lias had occasion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable results in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder from which he suffered excruciating pain for ten days, which was relieved with two applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realized instant benefit and entire relief in a very short time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved by two applications, rubbing with the liniment on retiring at night, and getting up free from pain.

CKAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA,

PICKETT.

The Wingate News of last week gives our assessor Henry Vancleave quite a josh by stating that he has established a dog farm at that place and has been paying the small boys 10 cents per head for all dogs delivered to him, and that he has become the possessor of a large stock in trade. It is stated that Henry intends to take the canines and tie them to the farmer's gates, along about April 1st, and then come around and collect the tax of $1 per head on them from the farmers because they have harbored the dogs. It’s a great scheme. The Oxford Musical Club of Boston Hollin's Hall—March 9.
