A DASTARD’S DEED.

While Crazed With Drink He Desecrates the Lowell Cemetery. John Daugherty, a drunken wretch, is in jail at Grown Point oharged with devastating the Lowell cemetery one night last week. Daugherty is an irresponslbe wretch and had Inst been released from jail, where he had been sent from Lowell for drunkenness. He returned to Lowell and was at once invited to leave town. This he did and the next day it was discovered that he had spent the night in the oemetery and malioiously overturned sixty-one tombstones. Slabß were lying on the ground broken in two or three pieces, and granite and marble monuments were turned bodily over, bases and all, with their ornamentations broken and the monuments defaced. One granite monnment was piled in a heap, while two monuments belonging to another family lay one on top of the other with the ornamentations knocked off. Not a single row of stones in the cemetery had been missed, one or more having been razed. He had tried to overthrow a big monnment at the entrance of the cemetery, but had been unsuccessful. The work of devastation had been made more easy on account of the soft condition of the earth. Circumstantial evidence pointed to Daugherty and he was arrested at a farmer’s the next day. A package of clothing which he had under his arm when leaving Lowell was found in the cemetery next morning, and his shoe tallied with the Innmerous foot prints found in the mad. He had sworn revenge against Lowell a number of times and when forced to leave town the last time he was howling drnnk and crazed with whiskey and was swearing revenge.

February Weather.

In view of the scarcity and high price of fuel Hicks holds out precious little encouragement for suffering inhabitants of the north during February. He says the month will open warm and threatening. Moon will be in such a position on the Ist to excite electrical storms in many places which disturbances will continue till abont the 4th, bringing heavy rains, turning later to snow In many parts of the country. A storm period to watch is Sunday the Bth to Tuesday the 12th. The worst days will be about the 10th and 11th. Furious snow storms and blizzards predicted in this latitude at that time. This cold wave will extend from about the 9th to the' 16th. He cautions all who have live stock interests to be on their guard daring this period. Another storm period extends from the 19th to the 23rd. This may open warmer and storms of thnnder and rain will be followed by snow and sleet and a cold wave from the northwest. Several days of crisp freezing weather will follow. The last three days of the month will bring on more storm conditions, winding np on the 28th with eleotric&l disturbances and heavy rain in many sections. Upon the whole he forecasts an unusually stormy and disagreeable February—the only feature abont It being that it 1b to have bnt twentyeight days.

A Great Question.

A Washington correspondent In the Indianapolis Journal says: Representative Orumpaoker’s resolution, calling for an investigation of the Indlanola postoffice affair, has created much talk in Washington. The New York Times goes into the matter at great length. The headlines declare the “Republicans will reopen the race question in Congress.” It is believed here that Mr. Orumpaoker will take advantage,of this agitation over the race question to press his Southern apportionment measure which is in the hands of the House committee on rules. The belief pre* vails that if the measure is not taken up at this session it will not come up at the next session, because of the fact that a presidential electiph will be too near at hand. Mr. Orumpacker is allowing the others to discuss the matter, but is saying nothing himself.

DOWN IN FLORIDA.

Judge Thompson Turns His Face Southward Again. Dear Journal— The ports along the Mississippi shore drift are stall of sand. At Gulf-port a dredge haa worked ont deep water at the wharf and started a boom. A storm will drift it fhll of the shifting sand and kill the boom. No other station shows any new buildings until we reaoh Mobile. In the south two rivers uniting take the name of neither. Thus above Mobile the Tombigbee and Alabama unite and from thence to the Gnlf take the name of Mobile, a short deep stream. The Flint and Ohattahuchie form the Apalatohicoln. We had a wait of two hoars at Flomabon on the line of Alabama and Florida. Mobile has the best port on the Gulf showing thirty feet of water at the wharf. The L. &N. ft. R. has a monopoly of the trade and has so far excluded all other railroads. We visited the fish wharf and saw tons of red fish being unloaded for shipment north. We visited the three forts—Barancns, Pichens and Mcßae, also the Navy Yard. The Spanish dry dock was towed here from Havana in a crippled state, being broken in two equal parts. It is the largest in the world. It is being repaired, but it will take a year to put the same in order. The squadron of war vessels is expeoted in a few days. We listened to the military and marine bands on yesterday afternoon. The weather is fine and we had an outdoor picnic as •we would enjoy in June or September. Florida, as far as we have seen, has two kinds of soil, white sand and red sand. Running when wet and flying when dry. S. P. Thompson. Pensacola, Fla., Jan. 31,1903.

Mrs. John W. Norman Dead.

Louisa, wife of John W. Norman, of Barkley township, died at the residence of her nurse, Miss Florence Wood, in Rensselaer, last Saturday night. On Thursday she had undergone a surgical operation, and she seemed to be getting along very nicely until a few hours before her death, when paralysis of the heart caused her death, abont eleven o’clock. The funeral took place at the Barkley Christian church Tuesday forenoon, Rev. T. A. Hall, of Rensselaer, conducting the services. Interment took place at the Smith cemetery, in Barkley township. Deceased was the daughter of Wilbour and Margaret Day, the latter of whom survives her. She was married to John W. Norman, October 15, 1881. To this anion six children were born. They, with their father, survive to mourn the loss of a gentle mother and wile. She also leaves four brothers and two sisters. She would have been forty-two years of *B* 1r April- She was born in Barkley township and at the time of her death lived on the farm where she was born.

The Kasu Jfttl.

DeWitt’s Little Early Risers do not gripe nor weaken the system. They cure biliousness, jaundice, constipation and inaotive .livers, by arousing the secretions, moving the bowels gently, yet effectually, and giving spch tone and strength to the glands of the stomach, liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble is removed entirely. These famous little pills exert a decided tonic effect upon the organs involved, and if their use is continued for a few days there will be no return of the trouble. Long’s Drug Store.

THE LIBRARY RATTER.

The Legislature Will Be Asked to Pass a Special Measure. As a result of the oonferenoe between the oommlttee appointed by the city oounoil and the. executive committee of the Jasper pnblio library, a proposed bill has been drawn up and will be presented to thej legislature by Representative Wilson. It increases the amount that oan be levied for library purposes, and if it becomes a law will euable Rensselaer to levy a tax sufficient to meet the requirements of Mr. Carnegie. In regard to a looation for the proposed building, there are three places mentioned, Milroy park, Weston park and % looation near the school bnildings. The preferenoe of the oity fathers seems to be In favor of the latter, owing to its nearness to the school buildings and the matter of heating, which can be done from the oity plant if located there. If this location is deoided upon the money to purchase the lot will have to be raised by publlo subscription, which it is thought can be done. Weston park, the triangular pieoe of ground on the road to the depot, has its advocates, and outside of the matter of heating, is probably the best looation of the three. The oity already owns the ground. It is too small for a park but would make an admirable site for the library building. It is abont as near the center of tbe city as It would be possible to get and is in plain view of all the strangers arriving in the city, which would be an excellent advertisement for the city. Unole Alf McOoy, that publio spirited citizen, who is enthusiastic over the offer of Mr. Oarnegle, and by the way lives over the river, says it is the ideal location, and should be selected by all means. “What’s the use of having a building of this kind,” he says, “if strangers are not to see it when they visit the city. This lot is owned by the city, and no other location Bhould be considered for a moment.” We believe Unole Mac is right in the matter and his advice should be heeded. This lot was deeded to the city for park purposes and there is some question whether it can be used for a library building, but we do not think the donors would objeot to its use for a pnblio library. The Milroy park location should not be considered for a moment on account of its looation. It is far from the center of town and convenient to bat a small proportion of our population. It is large enough for a park and should be used for the purpose for whioh it was bought largely with money raised by pnblio subscription., Whatever location is selected must be approved by Mr. Oarnegle, as this is a condition of his donation.

James Barker Dead.

James Barker, a former general passenger agent of the Monon, is dead. At the time of his death he was the general passenger and ticket agent of the Missouri, Kansas A Texas. AU of his life Mr. Barker was a railroad man—one of the old school. He began at the bottom of the ladder and went up, step by step, until he beoaute general passenger agent of the Monon and in that position he endeared him* self to the public so that there was a general demand for his servioes. While serving the Monon he was taken with Brightfs disease, and for years he had been a great sufferer, yet no one, it is declared, ever heard him oomplain. After a couple of months’ rest and a visit to various watering places Mr. Barker took the position of general passenger and ticket agent of the Missouri, irsnsftT A Texas. For the last year he had not been able to look after the duties of his offloe, most of his time being spent at a sanatorium in Texas.

HIRING TAX FERRETS IS LEGAL.

A Decision of Interest to Jasper County. The Appellate Court last week held that a contract by which the commissioners of Parke county agreed to pay tax ferrets a sum equal to half of all taxes paid on concealed or omitted property was not illegal nor void, and that a taxpayer could not sucoessfalty dispute an allowance of suoh amount from the county treasurer for servioee performed under the oontraot. One ground on which the contract was attacked was that a large part of the taxes paid went to the state, to townships and cities within the county, so that the oounty was paying the tax ferrets a great deal mom than it received as its share of the taxes paid. On this point Judge Wiley said: “We are asked to consider this question: Is it incumbent on the oounty to pay the entire amount, or should ttw state pay its proportionate share? No such question is presented here by the pleading. We are dealing only with a question of pleading. The county contracted to pay appellants s specific per cent of the amount of taxes collected on property discovered by them and placed on the tax duplicate. Under that oontraot the county is primarily liable to appellants sad recognized its liability by appellant’s claim through its board of commissioners. Neither the oooaly nor state is a party to this appeal (toing from an fcllowanoe to tj>e*§srrotsf) and the record does not present soy question between them as tO reciprocal obligations in the premises. We only hold that no such question is presented.” !•' "><U
