THE PIKE COUHTY DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1890. Measels has been at Washington, and may come here. ■ ■— ■—--——— ’ .. E. L. Spurlock, of Duff, has contracted to sell goods to the F. M. B. A. The pinkeye is among the horses at Sullivan and some other places in In? diaua. Glanders bothers Knox county horses. A number of cases are reported from near Bickneil. Ferdinand township, Du Wise county, lias voted a 2 per cent, tax in favor of the proposed Roekport, Eviugton, St. Minard, sud Ferdinand railroad. The Directors of the Dubois County Agricultural Association will meet at Hunlingburg next Saturday to revise the premium list and transact such other business as may need attention. Vincennes'is excited over the location of a hominy mill at that place. Not many years ago each farmer had a little hominy mill of his own, aud was not “excited” about it. The Posey county Democrats are: doing their best to nominated a man from that county forjudge of the 11th Judicial circuit. They claim the right to name the man for Congressman Parrett’s old place. Conners, the brutal ravisherot Mrs. WeaVer, of near .Washington, as reported in the DemocbaT last week, has been sent to the penitentiary for 21 years. He got the severest penalty the law of the State inflicts. The severest penalty ought to be hanging. The Barbour-Garrett Company which played here Monday and Tuesday evenings was not well patronized on account of the extreme bad weather. It is a good company, however, and deserves a large share of patronage from the theater-going people. The school entertainment at the opera-house last Friday evening was pronounced a success by all who attended. The proceeds netted $38 which is not sufficient to buy the best of an organ for the school, but which will go so far toward paying for one that its purchase in the uear future is an assured fact.

The petit jurors are: Ilanison' Ashby, Roll in Hartley, Joseph L. UcBav, George Goodrich, Thomas Lee, James Z: Bell, George P. Burch, Florence Reel, Robert Dorsey, John Hammond, and Daniel C. Catt. The Grand Jurrors, subject to the call of ^thc Judge, are Elmer Frost, H. W. Tevanit, John Willis, Joshua Duncan, Win. H. Gladisli, and Lyman B. Cook. Pearl Waif, of Kuox county, a Jif-teen-year-old school girl, has eloped with Owen Palmer, a thirty-fire-year old widower, or has been kidnapped. She was on her way to school, met a man named Hoover driving a double rig, got in with him, rode a mile and a half, met Palmer who was taken into, the carriage, flxlc to Edwardsport, and look tlie train ior St. Louis. There was a love case betweeu the girl and Palmer, and it is perhaps an elopement. A reward is offered for the arrest et Palmer. ’ll will be remembered that in Warrick county a man named Taylor resigned the office of trustee of Boone township and a cousin of his also named Taylor was appointed trustee on a promise to vote for the rcsiguetl trustee tor County Superintendent in order to beat the Democrats out of the office. The newly elected Sup’t. failed to give bond properly as it was supposed by the coiiutv commissioners who declared a vacancy and appointed a Superintendent. The case went to the courts and was settled only a tew days ago by Judge IgleI)art’s decission in favor Qf the commissioner’s appointment. He held that Taylor whom the trustees elected went into office by a bribe, inasmuch as he resigned one office for the promise of anot her.

To Che patrons ot District No 9, In Washington township, I return my hearty thanks for the favor shown me ou Wednesday, March 5th which was the last day of my term of school in that district. All morning parties beating baskets kept arriving; and at noon those baskets proved by inspection to be tilled with the necessaries of life to the very brim. The tables fairly groaned tinder the weight of good things and all present partook of a bouutiful repast, aud had a general good time. To those of the profession I would say that these acts of graiitudeon the part of patrons have influence and show that they are interested in the work aud their future prosperity. Win. N. Sakders. The Ash farm, one mile south of Petersburg, will be knowu as Pleasant Grove Breeding Farm. Here will be found a number of line stallions for the benefit of those who want to raise trotting, general purpose, or draft hoi sea. There is on the place one oi the fluest Jacks to be found auvwherc. Attention to producing good stock has been so sadly neglected that horse aud mule buyers have found it useless to come to this county with the expectation of Sliding such stock as the market demands. I invite all to examine my stock and be convinced ot its excellency. J. F. Ash. Parties wishing to purchase anything in the Monumental tine would do well to call on J. & B.

On the day set for trial Messrs Davenport and Mount appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs Posey and Taylor for the defence. The affidavitt was shown to be defective and the case was therefore dismissed. Enough was developed, however, to create strong suspicion against several parties, aud the report is that some of them have “skipped."-The Algiers Literary Society is doing well. They have a library of about fifty volumes; some of them are standard worksAt the recent Republican convention, J. H. Armstrong was not present, but it was fixed for him before the convention. So he is now the nominee. As the dog tag law- is not now in force, some other kind of boodle will be in demand. Jo* Badger.

Mercury went down 20 degrees below zero on Thursday of last week. Most of the Winter lias been fine weather. While we can boast of a tine Winter so tar, we cannot boast of having “good times.-’ Farm products are very low, and have been tor almost a year. Shelled corn commautta only 12 cents per bushel, and ear corn only 13 cents. Oats, 15 cents, and wheat 45 cents. Hogs are bringing about $3 a hundred. Good cattle are worth only about $2.50 per liuudred pounds. There are being fed here af Minden 15,000 head of Utah sheep. They are in transit for the Chicago market. This county (Kearney) is situated in the finest part of the stale. I hare been over most parts of the state and a part of Kansas. I find no parts ot either state which I like as well as Inis portion of Nebraska. The land is smooth, level prairie, w ith a black, mellow, lich soil that will average IS inches or more. I think it is the finest tartniug country which I have evei seen, and would soon be tlie richest were it not for that crushing burden of indirect tax levied by our government to protect 14,500 mill owners I can not see that the state ami county tax hero is any hlghci than in my nalivu state o Indiana. Minden, the county seat o Kearney county is very centrally lo

caled, and has a Rood, steady growth with a population that has already reached about 2000. It contains some very find brick buildings. One of them is a three story hotel, with pressed brick front*. The next finest is the merchants national bank with a Colorado stone front. Mindeu is now putting iu a system of Water Works, a plant at a cost of $2t>,0Q0. This will put the city in debt some, but at present there is no d ebt hanging over us, and I think this will be soon liquidated. I do not wish to persuade auv one to sell his • home and come west, but will say t« those who may contemplate doing so, that a look at Kearney county and this “South Piattf” country will pay you. It has as good railroad fecilities as any country needs. This county has two good systems of roads. The Union Pacific, North Western and Bnrifugtow Boutc give an out-let to Omaha and Kansas City as well as toChicago and St. Louis. Fuel is the greatest object here. The best quality ot soft coai costs $7 per ton. Lumber is as cheap here as the same quality in Indiana. We have good schools and churches, and the society will average vf ith that of the older states. Good | land is worth from <10 to f2o per acre, the price depending very much on the location and improvements. I am glad that yon take the stand you do on the high tariff question. I cannot see how any one who reads the “World’s War on the Farmer’ as published by you can keep from ^pondering over the greatest question that presents itself to him. Shall w« have an aristocratic government? I must coufess that 1 am somewhat amused at our Gov., who is a high tariff man. Yet he appealed to bur railroads “to reduce the tariffs” on corn. I fait to see his object, as tiie higher the tariff (lie higher the wages the employees and enables them to bring more corn to eat, thereby incrcasing(?)the “home market.” I am truly glad that the farmers are organizing for their own protection. All they need is to have the same confidence in oiite another that the moneyed syndicates have in themselves. Then they can accomplish their purposes. In conclusion, let me say if you do j not hear from me soon again, that I hope to meet you and my old friends in Chicago in 1892.

M. W. (JUAPPELL. From Yelpen: On last Fiiilay, March 8, one of the most disgraceful afiairs occurred here that lias ever takeu place in our little town. Ou the moruiug stated, John, Henry, aud William Mil burn,‘three brothers, who are thought to be rather tough when drinking, visited the saloon of Mike Itidge. and. there partook freely of “bug juice”. When ready for work, they left Bulge's saloon and started for the saloouof Bass & Hentng. John Milburn placed a pair of knucks on his list, and said, “I am going down to take the saloon.” On his way down he tried them on a post, aud fouud them all right. lie then went in, howling aud swearing he had come. He then went out at the back door, demolished a tub of water, a wash-board, and<a bucket of water, the property o! F. G. Decring. When informed by Mr. Decring that it was bis, Decring’s property, John Milburn said he thought it belonged “to that d—d saloon keeper.” Milburn then went into the saloon again, and commenced kicking the chairs, cuspiilores, etc., about the floor. When Mr. Bass, one of the proprietors, requested him to be still and not to make so much noise, he asked Bass what he had to do iu the matter. When Bass told him he had to keep order, Milburn raid he would set^ the matter aud advanced ou to Bass; and Henry Milburn a younger brother, told Bass to stand back and be would take his brother John out ot the house. This he was not able to do, aud John kept trying to get to Bass, but Hcury kept between them, and Johu picked up a cuspidore aud threw it at Bass, but missed him. John then rut his knucks on, and

kept crowding Bass who was by this time behind the counter. At this point, Bass pulled his gun and commenced shooting at John Miiburu. The first shot took effect in both legs above the knees passing through one leg and lodging in the other. The second shot struck Henry Miiburu in the back part of lire thigh,and ranged downward. John is not hurt bad; Henry is rather badly hurt. Both were taken to William's Hotel, and Doctor Hatfield was called. lie dressed their wounds and says that Uiey arc not liable to clie-^-Littlie 'John Morgan died on the 8th. inst., of pneumonia. lie hi a nephew of A.

Citizen’s State Bank Wins. The suit which was tried some five weeks ago and which was entitled, “The Citizens’ State Bank, of Petersburg, Indiana, vs. James II. McConnell,” was last Friday brought to a close by a dccission in favor of the Bank. The case came about as follows: On the 19th day of January, 1S89, Jas. U. McConnell, of Oakland City, came to Petersburg and borrowed from the Citizens’ Stale Bank 13,000.00, giving his note. At the lime he owned 200 acres ot fine land, and a third interest in 450 acres known as the Warrick Hargrove farm. In tea days after getting this money, he transferred bis property to hi* sou and daughter-in-la tv, Mr. and Mrs. Willis.tn T. McConnell, pretending to take in payment a ute which he claimed that his sou lud held against him fo: some years. On the same day the son ‘ami daughter-in-law transferred one-half of this back to the mother, wife of James El. McConnell. The Lank brought suit agaiust the parties concerned, to set aside the transfers, alleging fra d. The results areiuiavorofwhatsee ns to be a sound basis on which to lo business, and is therefore enitnei: ly satisfactory to these interested in he Bank at this place. At the ti aic McConnel borrowed this money, he was President ot tie Oakland City ’Bank, but was sorti afterward >.isposed of iu a re-organization.
