Three’wells were shot on the farm of Mr. Michael Robinson (36 31 5) in Gillam township last Monday. They are some of the’ wells drilled by Messrs. Law & Robertson and they promise to be good producers, to what extent can be decided only after they are being pumped.—Medaryville Advertiser. Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

The Treasury Department is notifying the public that after July 1, 1901, all notes, drafts and certificates of deposits will not require revenue stamps. Uncancelled stamps or unused at that date can be redeemed at the internal revenue office according to regulation. This is in accordance with the bill passed by congress removing the stamp tax from negotiable paper and proprietary medicines. A $lO bill caused four deaths near South Bend, Ind. A small boy cut up the bill with a pair of shears. His father was so angry that he stabbed the boy. The mother, horrified at the act, dropped her baby into a tub of water and it was drowned. This so affected the mother that she fell dead, and the farmer was so dazed by the whole transaction that he killed himself. Frank J. Donnelly, of Rensselaer, and Miss Mary Murray, daughter of W. W.

Editor George Ray, publisher of the Shelbyville Democrat, who has entered upon his indeterminate prison term of two to fourteen years, is getting nicely settled and accustomed to prison discipline. He has not abandoned his publication and has been allowed to conduct his paper from his Cell during spare moments. He will do prison labor during the day, and in the evening, or until the lights are put out, he will prepare in the solitude of his cell the editorial matter for his paper.

The township assessors met in regular annual session last Friday, with all members present. The basis of assessment was changed but little from that of last year. Good notes, instead of being discounted at 6 per cent, as formerly, will be assessed at face value if they draw 8 per cent, and at a discount of 2 per cent if they draw 6 per cent. The assessment on horses will be increased 50 per cent. The assessment on corn is raised 5 cents per bushel, timothy seed 50 cents and clover seed $1 per bushel. Members of the roaming order of Buffalos are taking what is known as the cow degree. They are given the grip and the wise Buffalo who has already taken the cow degree in conferring it upon his fellow brother surreptitiously places a quantity of cowitch in the hand oi the Buffalo taking the degree. In a little bit the cow-itch begins to get in its work and what it does to the victim in a short time is a plenty. The cow degree will probably not become so popular as that part of the order whicn requires 11 cents for the initiation fee and a treat all around just to make things merry. No play within the history of the modern stage has met with a greater success than “Quo Vadis,” a dramatization of the immortal novel by that name, and no organization has produced this play in a more magnificent manner than the E. J. Carpenter Company, which will be seen at the

opera house Friday evening, April 12. The play is one that has stirred the hearts of the Christian world. It describes in a graphic manner the life of Pagan Rome during the reign of Nero; the downfall of the Empire; the burning of the Immortal city, and the dawn of Christianity. It is not only a strong sermon containing thrilling dramatic interest, but a suberb scenic spectacle as well. In presenting “Quo Vadis” Mr. Carpenter is not making an experiment in the dramatic field. His company made a most extraordinary success in this play last season, and comes before the public this year with a strongly augmented cast, elegant costumes, new scenery and a play that has been weighed in the balance of public approval and found wanting in nothing.

New Game Law.

The following extract of the new game law is self explanatory, and by keeping this issue of the paper on file for ready reference, our sportsmen may never run up against prosecution. We consider the new law a good one, in fact the most sensible legislation we have had npon the subject in some time. It may damage the business of boarding and club house keepers, but it will benefiit the masses of our people at home: Senate Act No. 73 provides for the protection and preservation of game. It is made a misdemeanor to shoot, pursue or have in one’s possession any quail, ruffled grouse, prairie chicken or pinnated grouse between January 1 and November 10 of any year. It is also made a misdemeanor to shoot more than twenty four quail in one day. A fine of $lO is provided and imprisonment not to exceed ten days. Whoever offers for sale or sells at any time any quail, on conviction, shall be fined $lO for each quail to which may be added ten days’ imprisonment. It is made a misdemeanor for any railroad company or other common carrier or person to transport beyond the limits of the state any wild deer, quail, 'ruffled or pinnated grouse, prairie Chicken, woodcock, wild turkey or pheasant of any kind. Whoever shoots, pursues to shoot or has in his possession any squirrel between January 1 and June 1 and from October 1 to November 10 shall be fined $lO for each squirrel, to which may be added ten days in jail. A wild goose, wild duck, brant or other water fowl shall not be shot from April 15 to September 1, and from October 1 to November 10, and they shall not be shot any time between dusk and dawn. Not more than twenty-four shall be shot in one day. Wild doves shall not be shot from January 1 to August 15, and from October 1 to November 10 it is made unlawful to shoot any kind of pheasant, and it is made meanor to shoot or hupt with dogs on any inclosed land without the written consent of the owner or tenant, or to shoot or hunt on Sunday. It is unlawful to hunt with dog and shotgun any kind of game from October 1 to November 10, except as provided in Section 11. Section 11 makes it lawful to hunt squirrels, wild ducks and other water fowls from October 1 to November 10, provided a license is secured from the commissioner of game. Where prosecutions, assisted by the game commissioner, are successful, he shall receive a fee of $25 as part of the costs,to be turned into the state treasury to be expended in paying rewards for convictions of violator of the fish and game laws. It is made unlawful for any non-resident to hunt in this State any game protected for part of the year without procuring a license, and then he may hunt only in open seasons. The license is issued for one year by the county clerk for $25.50, $25 of which shall go into the state treasury.

In Honor of Billy.

On last Wednesday night a stag banquet was given in honor of William Schanlaub, who will leave our town Saturday, for Terre Haute, Ind., where he will enter the State Normal school. Mr. Schanlaub has just completed his second term of school work in Morocco. The banquet was given at Murphey’s Hotel at 9:30 p,. m. A very elegant spread was laid for fourteen guests. The dining room was beautifully decorated, and the feast unparallelled in our town. After the feasting, a jolly smoke was enjoyed. Toasts, speeches and topical discussions followed with such interest that the wee small hours of morn crept in before they were aware. In concluding the degree of “Good Buffalo” was conferred on Mr. Schanlaub, with good wishes tor success. The guests voted a unanimous applause upon the generous and kind hospitality of the proprietor, Mr. Parke and his services.— Morocco Courier. The raising of sugar beets is a most certainly profitable engagement for the farmer, as the following figures will testify. C. S. Pratt devoted three and one-half acres of ground to the raising of beets the past season, and after paying for seed, freight, etc., found that he was reimbursed to the amount of >201.35. Mr. Pratt announces that this year he will plant six acres to sugar beets and go into the business on a larger scale.—Coloma (Mich.) Courier.

OBSERVATIONS.

ot Whieh Are Here Ob.ir,t M Thaa Other*. However slowly you climb the ladder of fame, you usually arrive at the top about the time your breath fives out, and Charon of the Styx awaits you for your last fateful voyage. Necessity knows no law, but there are many young lawyers— aye, and some old ones, too—who know necessity. One man Is probably as good as another, according to Democratic and Republican principles, but be gets Into trouble by claiming to be considerably better. Half a “loaf (in Its lounging sense) Is better than no vacation at all. When a man makes a confidant of a woman, he Is doleful; when woman confides In a man, she is desperate. If women would only talk to their husbands as they talk about them behind their backs to other women, the quantity of self complacency In the world would be vastly increased. The heartless woman who Is foiled in her attempt to fool a man is apt for the rest of her life to call the aternar sex “hypocrites and sham a” Many old looking young women get that way worrying because they were no longer young. The wise man studies womankind as he does weather predictions, and should not prophesy until the day after. The average man’s idea of a “jolly time” is a little too much of everything; a woman’s idea la something left over for the next day. That charity which invariably begins at home very frequently finds so much to do that it never gets any further.—Ally Sloper.

Childish Innocence.

“Nellie,” said a mother to her little daughter, “I wish you would run over and see how old Mrs. Smith la; she has been quite HL” In a few minutes Nellie came running back and reported, “She said I was to tell you that it was none of your business.” “Why, Nellie,” said the astonished mother, “what did you ask her?" “Just what you told me to,” replied the little innocent “I told her you wanted to know how old she was.”— Household Words.

Briefs From Billville.

Major Jones of the Billville guards has just returned rrom the Philippines with one leg and two pensions. The Weekly Editorial excursion was a great success. We missed seven bill collectors and one sheriff during our absence. Our family is spending the summer at the seashore, and we are enjoying ourselves in the local millpond. The wars should come to a close. What this country needs most is peace, plenty and perquisites.—Atlanta Constitution.

Knew What Had Happened.

“The man who goes around taking snapshots of everybody ought to be lynched!” be exclaimed with some feeling. “He Is beyond the pale of civilization! He is an enemy to mankind!” “I suppose,” replied the cynic pleasantly, “that you had to pay one of them to have a plate* destroyed.”—Chicago Post,

Polite la Adversity.

Blunt—Who reads your poetry, anyhow? Billets—Why, my dear sir, all the prominent magazine editors of the country and many of the lesser lights on the daily and weekly papers.— Philadelphia North American.

Diagnosia.

“Yes,” said the pale woman, “my husband keeps grumbling day after day about the way things are going.” “What makes him?" “He says it's patriotism. But between you and me I think It’s rheumatism.”—Washington Star.

Almost Miraculous.
