Lester, of Washington, and Miss Dora Fullerton, of Evansville, were married at the last named city on October 24th. The groom forged checks to secure money for his wedding tour. The domestic bliss of the happy pair was disturbed at Indiauapolis, where young Lester was arrested. The grief of the newly-made brulc over the arrest of her husband was heart-rending. The prisoner was formerly in the employ of the I. & E. railway, and while running in and out of Evansville, he met the girl whom lie married after three months courtship. lie is scarcely 21 years old. The literary entertainment, at Schaefer’s Hall, Nov. lltli, given by Miss Lucian Julian Martin, of the. Training School of Expression, IndiA anapolis, was a decided success on the part of the elocutiouist. No arrangement was made for music by our townsmen. This was a decided mistake. We can say for this rare elocutionist, that she rendered all her selections with rare ability. It was all good from beginning to end. It is a common occurrence that elocutionists excel in the most part, and fail in Certain selections, but this lady held up from first to last as near to perfection as human effort ever comes.

^ About Hog Cholera. A farmer writes: “As ihe hog cholera is so prevelant throughout the country, I want to say that it need never exist. It can be prevented. Construct a long, deep trough; keep it supplied with slack lime, with reasonable amount of salt, and attract the hogs to it by slopping them there. If this is kept up the hogs will never have cholera, as I saved miue, and I had several hundred, when my neighbors lost all they had. I would uot give a dollar for an insurance if I had a thousand, and if farmers will, pay attention to these suggestions hog cholera will disappear forever.” Hon. J. H. Shankiin. The hosts of friends, all over Indiana, of lion. J. G. Shankiin, will be glad to learn that after seven weeks of treatment by Dr. Knapp, of New York City, he has returned home with his sight fully restored. Indeed, the operation he underwent, having necessarily removed the cause of “nearsightedness,” Mr. Shaukliu’s vision for long distances is better |han it has ever before been in his life. After a lapse of six mouths, he will be able to use his eyes for all purposes, including reading. ]^Ir. Shankiin will resume his work on the editorial columus of The Courier after-a few days of rest.—Evansville Courier. rhe Knights of Labor in the Indiana Legislature. The Knights of Labor hold the balance of power in our Legislature, on joint ballot. Two Knight, in the House, are Democrats, ami eight are classed as Republicans. Two say that they wifi under no circumstances vote for Ben. Harrison. Thus it is doubtful if the Senator could be re-elected if the Republicans should capture the Legislature by the countiug-out process. It is announced that the Knights of Labor will caucus before the organization of the legislature, and adopt an independent line of policy. The Indianapolis News of the 11th has the following, in relation to the election of a Senator: “A Knight of Labor said to-day to a News man that it would be strange if the labor interest did not control the next legislature, ‘and if we do,’ he added, ‘William D. Bynum will come nearer being the next senator than any other mau now named for the position.”

NOT ELIGIBLE. A Non-Resident Elected to the Legislature— -Mis Seat Contested. The eligibility- of Robert L. Mackey who was elected to the legislature at the recent election from the legislative district composed of Vauderburg, Gibson and Kuox counties, has been questioned. Under the statutes ot Indiana a residence iu the District or county one year is necessary to make an election legal. Evidence has bee i received from Knox county which shows plainly that Mr. Mackey has resided in the District less than six months, and is, therefore, disqualified. Hon. John F. Pruit, who was his opponent, has entered protest against Mr. Mackey being seated, and will contest the position wheu the legislature convenes.

The difficulty occurred on October 29th in front of Ashby’s drug stoic, at Winslow. Davenport died on Nov. 11th, and Ashby was placed in jail. Willis Brown’s trial this week resulted in a two year’s sentence, Tuesday afternoon. The details of Calviu Howard’s death (for causing whijh the prisoner is sentenced) are wellknown to the reader.

The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon; interment at the Lamb grave yard.

BISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. Senator Daniel W. Voorhees Aeeonnts for the Result in Indiana. “This is the,year of discontent,” said the Senator, when asked to account for the result in Indiana. “It is simply a repetition of the State’s political history. Ever since the year 1866 the party that gained a victory in a National campaign invariably met defeat in this State at the next ensuing election, and, as the Democratic party was victorious in 1884, it was hut natural that the Republicans carry the State in 1886. Grant was elected in 1868, and tlio State was carried by the Democracy in 1870; he was reelected in 1872, and the Democrats were again victorious in 1874. Hayes was counted in two years later and the State went Democratic; and then in 1880 Garfield carried Indiana, which resulted in a victory for us again in ’82, and so, after a National victory, it is natural that the RcpubMeans should carry the State in 1886.” When asked if he attributed this to the dissatisfaction with the policy of President Cleveland’s administration, he said: “No, but rather to persoual disappointments.” Our Christmas Goods Are here, and all are invited to call and see.

EDUCATIONAL. [This column will be edited by the Count; t*upcrintemlent. Hedesires communication! Jhom every teacher in the county. AUdresi him.] Schools all iu session. It is to bo hoped that tlio teachers observe arbor day. P. Chappell, teacher of Jeffersor township, was on the sick list twt days of last week. It has been a little difficult of lat< to obtain books for the Indiana Teachers’ Reading Circle. The first communication to this column appeared last week. Let each teacher send in an idea. Comparatively speaking, out schools ft re in excellent condition; but in poiut of perfection, they are in their infancy. No examination will be held on the last Saturday of next month. The last Saturday is Christmas, a national holiday. The examination will be held on the Monday following. Some of the teachers of this county think that there is no reason why we should be behind any county in Indiana. This is the correct idea. Let every teacher work to that end. Teachers should not forget arbor day. Plantiug trees is oue of the important agencies in improvement. If teachers will post themselves as regards this matter, they will certainly take an interest in doing something to beautify the school grounds, and to make them more valuable. Arrangements have been made to have a series of five lectures at this place the coming winter. One dollar admits one to all five lectures. The lectures are to be literary in their nature. This will be a decided improvement over the common show which has heretofore taken this town. May they succeed. We predict they will. Let everybody take the course. It is cheap. SPECIAL NOTICE.
