The trial of the State against John Poole in the Benton Circuit Court, was brought to an abrupt ending last week by the Court instructing the Jury to bring in a verdict of guilty, and finding that the defendant was insane when he committed the act. This action was necessitated by the fact that in 1893 Poole was adjudged insane by a court of inquiry and sent to the asylum at Indianapolis. His wife secured his release on parole, and investigation disclosed the fact that he had never been discharged from the asylum, and was therefore “officially” insane. The Review says this termination of the trial was very unsatisfactory to the people acquainted with Poole and the facts in relation to his recent murderous attack upon Quigley and dark hints were dropped to the effect that the Neilling procedure might be repeated. The sheriff hastened to land John in the asylum. Quigley, John’s victim, is not yet out of danger, although it is believed that he will recover.—Goodland Herald

So, Mr. Gilman Brown, of 34 Mill St.. South Gardner, Mass., was told by the doctors. His son had lung trouble, following Typhoid Malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors, who finaly gave him up, saying: “Your hoy won’t live a month.” He tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. He says ha owes his present good health to the use of Dr. King's Dis covery, and knows it to be the best in the world for Lung trouble- Trial bottles Free at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store.

At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Winters on the evening of Feb. 9th occurred the reunion of two brothers. Eddie Storrs, or Winters as he is known here, was taken several years ago by Mr. Winters to raise, from the orphan’s home at Cincinnati. There were several children, two brothers and two sisters at least, and inquiry was made at the home of Eddie’s brother and sisters. Tbe brother was located at Goodland where he had been for ten years past and the two sisters are married one living at Marion. Mr. Green, superintendent of the orphan’s home, came up and brought the two brothers together and will possibly at some future day see the four reunited after years of separation. —Wolcott Enterprise.

Farmers’ Mutual Insurance.

From Wolcott Enterprise. Editor Enterprise:—Some of your people have been writing inquiries in regard to the Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Association that we have organized iiflder a law passed by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana and in force Sept. 19th, 1881, legalizing such insurance associations, under which 10,000 more farmers can form themselves into incorporated companies for the purpose of mutually insuring their property against loss or damage by fire or lightning. Our company starts out with about fifty members. The business of the company is transacted by a board of six directors, one of whom acts as president of the Board and Association, and one acts as secretary and another is treasurer. There is one adjuster and as many solicitors as the board may choose. All applications for membership are made through the solicitor, the applicant paying the solicitor $1 for making the survey, and ten cents on each hundred dollars insured, as premium, which amount goes into the treasury and can be paid out on any debt of the company. Policies are issued for from one to five years. Buildings are taken at two-thirds value, as also horses, mules and cattle.

Other personal property is taken at one-half its value. When a loss or damage is sustained by any of the members, after it is adjusted, the secretary levies a per cent, on the whole amount of property insured in the company, sufficient to pay said loss or damage and each member is assessed their pro rata share on the amoun-they have insured; then there will be nothing more to pay untill another loss occurs, unless there would be small assessments to pay running expenses. We insure nothing but farm property, and have one annual meeting of the members at which time the officers of the company make their report of the business transacted during the year, and to elect officers for the ensuing year. We do business in Benton, Jasper and White counties, and would .be glad to have farmers of White county join the company. thereby getting cheap and reliable insurance. and what they pay out for insurence will go to help their unfortunate neighbor, instead of going to swell the coffers of some wealthy corporation, and our money will be kept at home. We will have a solicitor at work in the western part of White county in a few days. All inquiries will be answered by the president or secretary. J. H. Bieeke, G. G. Breese, President. Secretary,

Apples Preferred in England.

The big bulk of shipments consists of the Baldwins, Northern Spy and Greenings. Our Baldwins are finer and larger than the Canadians, but they are not so hard and not such “good keepers.” They range as a rule from $2.50 to $3.50 for Canadian barrels, and $2 to $2.75 for America. It is not believed in England that these prices will be quite established during the winter of 1896-97 on account of the immense crop reported to have been gathered in the United States and Canada.

The Greenings are not so attractive in appearauce, but they have a firm hold on the English market for cooking purposes, more especially in the north. Good, clear, unspotted Greenings bring in the ordinary season from $2.50 to $3.50 per Canadian barrel, an extra price being paid for large apples. Special importance is attached to size in the casi of Greenings; buyers willingly pay enhanced prices for large specimens, as a rule cooking them in the form of dumplings. Small Greenings would easily fall off a dollar a barrel in price, and thus render the shipment unremunerative. Northern Spys usually bring about the same prices as the Baldwins.

Freights to London, Liverpool, Glasgow, or Bristol are approximately $1 per barrel, and all charges, including auctioneer's commission, would be covered by 25 cents. All apples are sent on consignment to brokers who effect sales by auction. The business is cash on delivery, and if the auctioneer gives credit it is at his risk, and not at chat of the seller. The Department representative is prepared to give inquirers th e

addresses of respectable consignees in the principle seaports of Great Britain. The Spitzenberg is a good, reliable apple, appreciated in the English market, and it brings 4bout the same price as the Baldwin. Indeed, nearly all rfed-colored apples bring about the same prices. Russets are liked and sell at about the price of the Baldwin. Golden russets, if carefully selected, would bring from 50 to 75 cents over the average. The tendency with golden russets arriving in England is, however, toward such a small size that they do not make over average prices. The RoxenbUrgh russet is also a favorite.

Apples of superior varieties, like Newton c* Albemarle pippins, and superior apples of ordinary varieties, ina.y be depended to bring their value. Twentyounce pippins, Cranberry pippins, “Kings,” and Ribstones, for instauce, of large size and good color, would range from $3.25 to $4.50 for Canadian barrel when good Baldwins were selling for $2.50 to s3.2s.—Secretary Morton’s Report.

The meanest man up to date has been discovered in Noble county. He not only sued a person for eighteen cents, but tendered a bill for one dollar to his sister for a sack of flour and lard used while she and neighbors were sitting up with the corpse of his lather at his house not long since, besides charging his daughter twenty five cents for what she ate while visiting him at that time.—Ex. It was only six months ago that she stepped on his corn, and when she apologized he said that her step was so soft and light that it wouldn’t crush a violet. The other day when she asked him to make a pounder to pound the clothes with he asked her why in thunder she didn’t get into the. tub and prance around with her big feet, and not be howling for a pounder.— Ex,

Marble.

An artifical marble, which can be applied to walls and furniture while in a soft or plastic condition, has been brought out. The “marble” is delicately veined, like the natural varieties, while being hard and durable. The fact that it can be applied like stucco permits of its fitting easily to its place and as easily repaired when broken.

The republican majority in the Indiana legislature decided to over-rule the vote of the people in two legislative districts by unseating two members who were elected on fusion tickets, the names having been accepted by the democratic committee and returned asdemocrtaic nominees,

when they were in fact the regular nominee of People’s party conventions. This contest has been conducted before a legislative comittee with all the form of a trial in court and the legal propositions were made and thoroughly argued. Should the same ruling obtain in the courts not a few county officers elected on fusion tickets last fall will lose their places.—Chicago Sentinel. It was only a few years ago The New Road said: “The bottom of all our troubles is Rothschilds.” For many years almost everybody branded us a Rothschilds maniac—harmless, of course.

| Now show us a daily paper or any other paper that does not mention Rothschilds’ name every day in connection with the settlement of International difficulties. It now transpires Rothschilds wahts to bribe Maximo Gomez [ to accept the reforms suggested jby the mother country, and for ■ what? To save Rothschild’s i Spanish investments. { The hook-nosed usurer will ! find Gomez true to his country, j His bribes will be spurned. There is a differenc between Patriot Gomez and Tory John Shermau. But as we were about to say, ‘ ‘Rothschijdsphobia” has broken out until the Rothschilds family are all hanged higher than Ilaman and their gold distributed among the people. This sounds harsh, but wait and see

if our prophecy does not come true. The greatest and most powerful enemy mankind has today is the combine that owns or cop*, trols *8,000,000,000 of the §'B? 700,000,000 of gold in the known world. This ring is crowding the question of usurer to the fore by claiming the payment of interest is of greater importance than goverment or life in the people. The people are gradually learning to realize that the course of humanity the world over is usury. The usurer must go before prosperity to the world returns. The king usurer of all is Bothschilds. The attention of all the world is being attracted to him. His greed is noticeable. When the people once get their attention fixed on him then wait—the mob! It is the old story.—The New Road, Denver, Col.

Strange, But True.

Occasianolly the threshold of the country newspaper office is approached, and the doorway darkened by that sort of personage who says: “Stop my paper. I am taking the National Economist, New York Ledger, CourierJournal and several others, and I guess I will let my home paper go for a while.” This man will be the first to ask a favor of his little home paper. He will know all about the foreign war, and will sit entranced for hours over somebody’s imaginative powers in a love story, but this same man will not know what is going on in his immediate neighborhood. He will be as ignorant as a goat on the facts which should furnish him interest, and in many cases benefit him. He will know nothing of the stores where he does his trading; !if his neighbor wishes what he has to sell he will not be apprised of the fact; if he has made happy acquaintances in the sphere in which he moves, his friends, and incidents pertaining to their lives will be blotted out for him —he has shut his eyes to that which is occurring around him. Do not think for a moment when that man dies the Courier-

Journal will give him half a column with poetical trimmings. Will the Economist say that a fine boy has come to bless his blissful home, and add that its father is one of the most prominent men in the commuuity? Will the New York Ledger tell where you can buy your winter supplies, and warm clothes the cheapest, and will it add symphathizing words in time of trouble? Well, I guess not. Let it be your home paper first and then, if you are able, as many others as you like.—Leslie Clark’s Paper.

HERE’S YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

A New Eight-volume Encyclopaedia At About Your Own Price. Every one who has had occasion to consult the cumbersome old encyclopedias for some needed information, effoctuallyconcealed in some long article, will be glad to kuow of the appearance of a new general reference work built, along different lines, so that any child who can read may successfully consult It. Such a work is The New Standard American Encyclopaedia in oight largo quarto volumos, and which embraces the substance of all the other encyclopedias, besides a very large amount of now up-to-date matter none of them contain. It introduces a vaßt number of new words, names, facts, ideas, inventions, methods and developments. It treats, in all, over 00,000 topics, whioli is from 0,000 to 10,000 more than any other work. The publishers of the "Standard American” have also lavishly embellished the new work. There aro over 3,000 illustrations, which cover every conceivable subject, lending new interest to the descriptions, and forming a succession of pleasing surprises. It also oontalns over 800 colored maps, obarts, and diagrams, and constitutes a complete atlas of the world such as no other encyclopedia has undertaken to present. This feature will be found of the highest value in the education of the young, ft r the pictures and colored maps will have a distinct fascination for them, and thus prove an important incentive to reading and study. The professional or business man, whose time is money; the teacher, who is called upon to at once answer all sorts of questions; the toiling student and inquiring scholar, at home or the desk, will find In the new work the most useful and practical library in the world for quick aud ready reference on all sub* Jocte. One who owns it will posse * the equivalent of a score of other reference books which would cost many times the price of this.

Another feature in which the new work stand* absolutely alone, is in I>‘aj ▼ery lull appendixes, which embrace over 100 subdivisions, including a biographical Dictionary, a Dictionary of Technical Terms, a Gaseteer of the United State*, Presidential Election* In the United States, Religions Snmmar: -j, State and Territorial Election Static! L • i, Statistics of the population of the w<» 1, and a veritable mine of information >n thousands of subjects of universal bit ■- est and importance. But it is in its treatment of ro fc subjects that the Standard Amo t will be found of paramount value. US other encyclopedia* arc from five to i ■ years old, and are. silent regarding hti dreds of topics that every reference wot . should contain. Such, for Instance, a* “The X-Ray,” “Argon,” “HorsolcCarriages,” “The Atlanta Exposition,' “Color Photography,” etc., etc. It also gives biographies of hundreds of people who have lately become famous, such as Prof. Roentgen, discoverer of the “XRay,” lan MacLaren, Dr. Nansen, the explorer, Rndyard Kipling, etc., etc., On account of its lateness in all these matters, as well as its accuracy, it has become the standard in Schools, Colleges, Courts, Publie Libraries, and wherever important questions come up for discussion. It would therefore seem that no professional man, artisan, mechanic, teacher, pupil, or farmer, can well afford to be without this most useful, practical and latest of all encyclopedias, especially as its price has been so arranged as to make the work a great bargain, and render its possession possible to almost any one who earnestly desires to own it. Detailed particulars regarding the work and how to secure it at practically your own price, may be found in an advertisement on another page of this issue.
