Ike Row Feels the Shame That Has Brought Upon Herself. Mhcr Items •« Hews as He tea Dawn la Site Heperter’s Nats Beak. r W. V. Hargrove, of the firm of Etargrvve & Co., has been missing goods from the store for sometime mat aud was unable to find out just low and where they disappeared. Dress patterns, ribbons, shoes, gloves, aces, etc, have been roisseo and as loue of the dorks had sold such goods, only what had been reported, he proprietor set his wits to work to :atch the guilty one. Sometime ago the firm employed tfrs. Flora Metcalfe, of Sturgis, Ken;uoky, to take charge of the millinery lepert ment. She is a woman of perlaps forty years and an expert iu her ine of work. Her mother and sister ives iu Evansville, aud she also has a laughter living there and another iving at Louisville. She was given rull charge of the milliuery depart* uont, and her work has given good latisfactiou to the patrons of the store Hr. Hargrove was loth to believe hat anv of his clerks was to bo sns* licioned, but finally he concluded to watch Mrs. Metcalfe a little closer, ts her manner and demeanor the irevioua four weeks bad not been tuclt aa to throw off suspicion. Last Friday morning Mr. Hargrove trranged with his clerks to leave the itore one by one, while he secreted limself near by iu the store room where he could watch, leaving the itore in charge of Mrs. Metcalfe. No looner had the clerks stepped out :han the slick milliner began to help lerself to gloves, ribbons, stockings, fee. Sho had everything fixed for %s kind of business, having a pocket r ai^ underskirt that would hold at east a half bushel of stuff, into whicli the put some ot the goods and sewed ither articles onto her clothes. While n this act Mr. Hargrove confronted iter with the demand to return the goods at once and called in Dr. Har* •is as a witness. She made some ‘vasive answer and the goods wore returned. Mr. Hargrove immediately swore jut a warrant for arrest for larceny. She was arrested and given a preliminary hearing before Squire Chappell, who bound her over to the circuit rourt In the sum of $230, failing to give auoh bond she was confined lu ihe county jail. While on the witness itaud she was asked to remove one of her shoes. This was handed Mr. Hargrove who identified it as belong lag to him, and that she had never bought a pair of shoes from his store. Friday afternoon Mr. Hargrove aud Prosecutor Dillon weut to Evansville Iu search of other goods, which was nupposod to have been sent to her [laughter, as only two weeks before two larire trunks had been expressed

to that city. They went to her mother's where her daughter was living and made a search for the goods. They found quite a quantity at this place, but were uot eatisiod and utter questioning the daughter further she admitting having a trunk in another part of the city. She ao coiupanlcd them to the house where the trunk was, and It was s*«arohed. Here thev secured several articles belonging to the store. The goods which thoy secured at Evausville amounted to about $60 and consisted qf dress patterns, hats, ribbons,gloves, laces, and other goods, which they brought home with them. Mrs. Metcalfe lakes things cool and has but very little to say, only that she is possessed of. an ungovernable appetite for opium, and lays all her trouble to that foot. She is rather a good looking woman, and ‘a splednid milliner. Why she should have stolen the goods cannot be understood as she was receiving a good salary, tier trial will, come up during the November term of court.

THE FORCE BILL. If you are in favor of imported republican thugs being appointed on local Election Boards to count your vote instead of your neighbors and friends, then vote for Ben Harrison and the Force Bill. But if you favor retaining control of your own elections, having your neighbors and friends count and certify your votes, then vtjte for Grover Cleveland and the democratic party. Democrats, Populists and Prohibitionists remember this: That republican success this year means the passage of the Force Bill, thus placing every election precinct in Indiana and the United States under the supervision and control of the republican party.

Saturday wheat went 1 vwer still. Cash No. 2 red wheat sold down to 74% cents, which is the lowest that has ever beeu recorded in the history os St. Louis as a grain market. One year ago, in October, 1891, cash No. 2 rod wheat sold at 93% ceuts to 96% cents. Two years ago, in October, 1890, the range of cash No. 2 red wheat was 98 cents to $1.00%. When tho McKinley bill went into operation wheat was selling for |1 and upwards. It is now selling for 65 cents. In the meantime the price of nearly everrthing the farmer has to buy has gone up. And this is the war protection helps the former. Soldiers of Pike county follow your ex-coinmander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, Judge Rea and vote for Grover Cleveland, the statesman and friend of the soldier. Jodae Rea says the president was justified in Tetoing private pension bills. Do you believe what ho says. Ho made you a good commaude'r. Wby not get in the wagou of victory and follow his advice once more. He was a staunch worker for Mr. Harrison four years ago, but now sees the error. It begins to look as if the most interesting conundrum in regard to the presidential election is as to the majority of the electoral votes that Cleveland and Stevenson will receive. The free and unlimited use of money by the republicans may save them from dropping wholly ont of sight, but little short of a tniraoie can save them the presidency. In democratic and doubtful states the Cleveland forces are fighting for highest places in the victors* roll of honor. , Farmers how do you like yonr high protected McKinley home market. Yon voted for that kind of a market four years ago, and now yon receive the great sum of FIFTY CENTS a bushel for wheat. Under a low tariff (bur years ago, you received about NINETY CENTS a bushel. Are you going to continue such a parly in power by your votos next Tuesday 7 We suppose not. 8TAMP in the square containing the

Csme mow It la Tima that Ton were Dein( Tonr Share ef the trerk. In running over our exchanges tvhlch we receive from the northern part of the stale wo soo numerous items where large factories are being located nearly every day emplo.viug hundreds of hands. They never let anything *l*p from their grasp in that section and in consequence they have flourishing little cities and enjoy all the conveniences of life. Petersburg contains enough young blood to make this a go and should be hard at work now In order that the uecessary amount of capital can be raised. The moneyed men of the town will cotno to the front, in doe time when they see that the boys mean business and are really in earnest about the future prosperity of our town and couuly. They will not stand back and see a failure made in au attempt to make Petersburg a city. They would enjoy seeing the home of thoir childhood days become a thriving manufacturing city, with water works, electrio light, electric street cars, city Are department, natural and artificial gas, and other luxuries which the city folks now enjoy. After next week the enterprise will go with a boom, and every person should take at least one or more shares of the stock. Take stock according to your means. If you think you are able to iuvest $500 in order to experiment in finding gas or oil put it down, if only $50, put that down. If every business man will do their part the money could be raised iu a day’s time. To further the cause a board of trade should be formed in Petersburg to further the interests of the city. They could look after aud secure a manufactory at a small outlay almost any time. They could take options on land for manufacturing purposes, and if an opportunity should afford itaelf for locating a factory they would have ground sufficient at a reasonable price that they could donate for that purpose. A meeting for this purpose should be called at au early date lu order to formulate some plane lor the future. Now is the time.

How the Wind Blows. There seems to bo an epidemic among the ex-Cabiuot officers of the grand old patty. They are all going over to Cleveland. Hugh McCullough is the only man who was ever Secretary of the Treasury under three of our presidents, all republicans. They were Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur. Now beisau out an out Cleveland man. Carl fichuib was Secretary of the Interior under Rutherford B. Hayes. He is woiking tooth and toe.nali foi Cleveland. Jacob D. Ox was Secretary of the Interior for Grant, lie la for Cleveland. . >_ Walter Q. Gresham waa Postmas-ter-General with Arthur. He is for Cleveland. Wayne McVeigh was AttorneyGeneral for Garfield. He is foi Cleveland. * nenry M. Teller waa Seeretarv ol the Inter»or for Arthur. He is against Harrison. The ex Cabinet of the repnblican party seems to have reformed.

AN ELASTIC TARIFF. Bat to Catch 'Em Going or Coming. The advocate of the American systen of tariff spoliation has occasion to ad dress now one class of people and nou another, hi doing tins he is forever con tradicting himself, and apparently nevei finding out that he is in any wayjccon eistent. He has occasion at one time to addreg the victims of the system—consomen who, in their other character of produc era, are not and can not be benefited b; taxes on imparted articles of any hind To these victims the versatile advocah says: “The tariff is not a tax. It addi nothing to the price of anything yoi buy, whether it be imported orproducei at home. On the contrary, it cheapen the things yon have to buy.” The orgai of the American Protective Tariff leagm addresses the victims in substantial!; these words in every issue, and illustrate its assertion with singularly logical am convincing pictures of blankets, dresses coats, kegs of nails, barrels of salt ant so on without end. But presently the versatile advocat has occasion to address the sheep farmer and to him he says: “The tariff give you a higher price for your wool.” Am again he has occasion to address the foe tory operatives, and to them he says “The tariff raises the prices of the good you help produce, and so gives you high er wages than yon would get withou the tariff.” He gives them to understam that it is the tariff that makes wages ii this country higher than in other ooun tries.

Thus the tariff advocate tells the work ing people in the protected industrie that bnt for the tariff “the America manufacturer would have to forms] goods at as low a price as his foreig rival.” But he can not do that and pa present wages, because he can not man ufacture as cheaply as his foreign rival who pays lower wages. “To lower hi prices he would have to cut down wages. That is to say, the tariff makes wage higher here by making prices highe here. By making prices higher, and i no other way, the tariff enables the mar ufaeturer to pay the higher cost of pn duotion dne to higher wages. Addressing an audience of still ax other kind, our versatile advocate assert not that the tariff reduces the prices c the tariffed articles, not that it raise wages by raising prices, but that th manufacturing capitalist needs protee tion because he must pay higher wage in this country, and if we shouldn’t pre tect him he would have to shut dowi and discharge his employes and genera prostration and rnin would ensue. Her the assumption is not that the tarii raises wages, but that the scale of wage in this country is high from some othe cause or causes, and that thegovenunes most help him to exact high prices c calamitous consequences will ensue. Now the versatile advocate can not t right in all these positions. Hither tari taxes raise prices or they do not The oan not do both at the same time wit respect to the same thing. Which d they do? Is it not reasonable to snppos that a tax laid on an imported artid makes it come higher to the consumer Is it not reasonable to suppose that If th imparted article is made dearer the d< mestic article of the same kind will l made dearer? Is any other snppositio reasonable? Is it possible to reconcil any other supposition with the foot tha the home producer always welcomes higher tax and always protests again; any lower tax in the competing artid when imported? It certainly is not. When our advocate asserts two cox trary effects of the tariff we are at lit erty to hold him to the most re.vsonabl and likely. We accept his assertion thi the tariff does raise rather that the coi trary assertion. Having pinned hu down to that, we demand to know whi wisdom or what justice there is iu con polling the moss of the people to pay e: tortionate prices in order that a fes comparatively, may carry on unprofi able works or make exorbitant profit To this twofold question, which is tl whole tariff question in a nutshell, i satisfactory answer ever has been or ct be made by the opponents of oommerci or industrial liberty.-Chicago Herald. even by « that the tari don’t p< is a dear school, y< Crescent. campaign will cent and the Democrat party has already taken ttm road th leads to glory,-B^ley Journal. iSBa® mM
