Badly Burned.

A short time before noon on Wednesday Mrs. Geo Gauthier was terribly burned by the explosion of a gasoline stove. Trough the mistake of aCgrcceryman, coal oil was sold instead of gasoline. Mrs. Gauthier discovered the error on attempting to start a fire. The oil was re ; turned to the grocery and gasoline substituted. On a second attempt to light a fire an explosion followed, and Mrs. Gauthier received very painful burns about the and face. Only, the presence of mind of Mrs. Gauthier in tearing the burning clothes from her saved her from more serious injuries, and probably death. Portions of the carpet were burned and the house was in danger of being burned had noi neighbers arrived in time. Dr. McCain was called and rendered all possible assistance to lessen her sufferings. The many friends of Mrs. Gauthier hope for her earl} Recovery.—Kentland Democrat. Mrs. Gauthier’s many friends here will be pained to learn of her misfortune.

Hon. Philip Rappaport, oi Indianapolis held two meetings in this county last week, one ai Wild Lilv. Union township, and <6!se at Blake's school house. lordan township. A moderate sized country crowd met him at Wild Lily, and at Blake’s, there were more present than could be well accommodated. Mr. Rappaport’s speech was more adapted to au audience it common city laborers, than to a crowd of farmers. Neighbor down the street, seems to think these speeches of Mr. Rappaport were very rabid. He "ears the People’s party is drilling into communism and anarchy. The members of the Populist party are just people like other people. They were all raised in the Republican and Democraticparties. They are just as wise, just as patriotic as democrats or republicans; and they seem to be just about as numerous. We have no fear of .my considerable portion of oui intelligent, patriotic citizens going into a conmunistic oi anarchistic movement. Truth, right, reason and intelligence in this country are against anarchy and communism; so neighbor, be not alarmed, have faith in our religion, faith in our education faith in our millions of good, wise people.

The Republican meeting at the court house Wednesday night was a little better attended than the Chambers meeting a few weeks ago, and the speaker, Judge Crumpacker, though not so able a man, really made a better speech. The fact of Chambers’ being a more knowing man than Crumpacker, ac counts for him making the poorest speech. A real well informed, honest, modest, Republican will not stand before the people end say all our recent financial ills are the result of 38, mouths of Democratic rule. No man can say this with any sho r ; of feeling or truth, who isii -; formed and has any respect for, himself. James H. Harrison, one of Rensselaer's tourists, cards a friend in the city as follows: Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 28, *94.
