(be counterfeiter, who tvas arrested In fiU county Thanksgiving morning by Treasury Agont Crit Cox, Deputy United States Marshal Robertson, assisted by an Indianapolis News reporter, pleaded guilty this afternoon, and was sent to the Son them Penitentiary for one year by Judge Woods, says the ludianapolis News. Houchins began to mellow after he had slept a night or two before the natural gas fires of Indianapolis, and, it Js said, he furnished the United States officers a good deal of valuable information. His sentence was much lighter than lie would have doubtless received had he stood trial. Susan Richardson who was arrested with Columbus Houchins some time ago, else plead guity and was sent to the Woman’s Reformatory for a stay of three mouths.— Vincennes $un. About 41) women greeted Miss Palmer at the afternoon meeting on Thursday last. Mrs." C. H. Fields presided and introduced the speaker, who held the attention of the women for nearly an hour, while she presented the claim of the W. C. T. C. (Women’s Christian Templrance Union). Mrs. Rev. Freeman presided at the 7:30 meeting and the ‘•Whj ?” was presented. It followed very appropriately tlie“Which ?” so ably presented by Miss Clethier a few weeks ago. Miss Fulmer held perfectly the attention of her audience to the close as she told how God had lead the women oat into this work, until today we have over 300,000 women who are proud to wear the white ribbon, and are enlisted for life in this worthy work of home protection. Thos. H. Dillou has moved his office to a room over the Cilizeu’s State Bank, having dissolved partnership with J. W. Wilson* It will be remembered that Mr. Dillon wi;8 elected Prosecutor for the eleventh Judicial circuit, and many people may therefore think he will not practice his proffeesion in any other way : such we learn by an interview with hitu to be erroneous. The.office will occupy only a portion of his time, and he will practice civil cases a* much as if he were not Jhe prosecutor. Of couresc he can not take a divorce case, but all other ceses will recievo his special attention. Any oue ivho may have need of a lawyer wiii find Mr. Dillon ready aud willing wi th the best of advice.

In mentioning the names of the surgeons that waited on young Coleman last week, amputating his arm, we were not complete In the statement, for the services of Dr. J. B. Duncan was not mentioned, though we are informed that he was the surgeon called and who had charge of the case. It was a difficult operation and was well executed—so said Incompetent judges. The arm was disarticulated at the shoulder, and the flaps‘that had to be used were no more nor less than mashed and bruised flesh aud skin. The common School graduates of Dubois county have organised an Alumni Association, at the suggestion of County Suporindent Wilsou. The first meeti ng was held at Jasper only a few da.rB ago. Miss Maggie A. Wilson, of Jasper was chosen President, aud Miss Jessie Taylor, of Jasper,delivered the welcome address, which was an able and rather masterly effort. The meetings will be held annually hereafter. It is altogether a commedable act by the common school graduates of Dubois county. , Quite a sensation was caused Saturday morning upon learning that a uew babe had been found upon tbs front door step of the residence of Mr. John West of this city. The matter remained shrouded in mystery for quite a while, when it was ascertained that the babe was the illegitimate offspring of Msmie Gutcukunst, Louisville. The inother'of the child is 15 years old and came to this sitv to hide her 6kame. The child was adopted by Mr. aud Mrs. N. Cummisky of this eity.—Hunt ingburg Item. Smith Alexander, of near Petersburg, killed a large Snow Owl Wednesday. It mAsured over feet from tip to tip of wiugs bird had swooped down among turkeys, andl had succeeded ip killing a flue one before Mr. Alexander stopped bis preying. The Suow Owl is gettiug to be a scarce bird in this part of the country. Loren Hoover, who returned from the Louisville Medical institute recently, will reside here for a while and will purine his studios with Dr. J. B. Duncan and will do some pratical work. He will, a# soon as expedient, complete his studies in. some well regulated school of medicine. A Miss Molly Watson went from Mt. Vernon, 111., to Evansville, Iud., last week to commit suicide. She visited her cousin and then took “rough on irate,” but did! hot quite shuffle off the mortal coil, and is alive to have trouble over another love affair. ' Elder J; W. Richards© i brought to this office last Friday eight turnip* that measured almost a bushel. One of.them measured two feet one and tbyee-fourlhu inches in circumference, and was solid and jnicy to the center, and was as sweet as a smell turnip.

• t* He Dedms Upon Hie Seri That He Never Set a Cent of Conntj leiej, And Says He Will Work All Winter or Flu! Wkat The Matter Is. The editor of the Democbat met Mr. Ferguson in the Auditor’s office of this countv last Saturday. It was tho first interview with the exTreasurer since his recent trouble was made known to the public. He was free talk on the matter that most concerns him just now. “Did the Democbat say anything that it should not?” Wa* the question put to Mr. Ferguson. • “No," was his auswor. “Every word you said was the plain truth so far as I can tell. The shortage is something over five thousand , dollars, so far asl can tell at present. Upon my word, I never got five cents of it, but it seems like the money is gone. The county justly owes me twelve hundred dollars for services, and I know it as well as I know anything. I have some property and can make up a large portion of the amount. AU must go and still ray bondsmen will have to make up a part of the deficiency. This is what I hate about it. Besides all this, I am left' in a condition to have my honesty questioned. I hate this, too.” To the question “How do you account for the trouble?,” Mr. Ferguson said, “There are many ways It might have been done. There may be a mistake in the books, though I don’t much expect to find it. I am going to hunt all Winter or find the trouble if the fault is in the books. I thought I was too careful for a mistake to have ever been made.” Here Mr. Ferguson became a little enthusiastic, aud said, “Suppose that a treasurer is taking in several thousand dollars a

day. The receipts are laseti ana me cash book is made up from the stubs and whatever items that it is necessary to take into the accounts. When mght comes the cash book and the cash on hauds together with the county orders redeemed tally to a cent.. Suppose that a few hundred dollars have been dropped purposely 'during the day by some regular or extra clerk, and some items from the stubs of the same amounts of some of the county orders redeemed are omitted iu making up the cash book. You will baye a balance of books all round for that day’s work, and could uever find it out unless you revieybd the whole proceedings of the daj personally. When the end of the year comes, you find a discrepancy, and you might burnt till dooms day and not find it. You might fiud that the orders redeemed and the stubs of tax receipts did not correspond, but you could not tell which had been left off the cash book on any particular day; and even if you could find the days and the amouuts you could not tell where the money went. So the only thing left is to find whether there is anything on the books in my favor, aud if there is not, to pay up all that I can and let my bondsmen pay the rest. To let my bondsmen suffer a cent is the hardest rub of all.” The editor continued the conversation bv saying: “I do not believe you have been dishonest. The people are of the same opinion, but there is one unaccountable thing connected with treasurer defalcations. While I believe that treasurers are just as honest as any other class of men, ike people think It strange that the mistakes shdnld be nearly alwayeln their own favor.” To this he replied, “I kuow It, aud that is what makes .me feel so bad about it. If the mistake were in my favor it would dot hurt me financially nor bring my reputation for honesty into question. It just dees me pp and I am going to fiud out wbat’s the matter ir it can be dope.” _ Mant business organizations and Commercial Ti avelcrs Associations have indorsed a bill, now pending in Congress, to place a letter-box at each of . the railway stations in the V* S. The Postmaster General does not regard the proposition as practicable for the following reasons that be giyes: , “First, that the mail trains do not slop at every station, and frequently do not stop at many stations; second, that when thd? do stop it is not possible or proper for the postal clerk to leave his car for the purpose ot making collections from the box; third, that it would not be feasible to require the Postmaster, whose office in many instances is at a distance from the slatiou, to visit the latter at train tinje for the purpose of depositing the contents of the boxes in the cars; and fourth, if the railway postal clerk should be charged with the duty of emptyiug the boxes he might carry the mall in the direction Opposite to that inleuded.” Miss Palmer, the W. C. T. U. lecturer, waa the guest of Itev. and Mrs. Fields while in pur city lecently. She spoke et Otwell on Friday afternoon and ereuiug. Saturday atie took the noon train to Oakland City, where sbe spoke on Sunday.
