President Cleveland will be in 1 ndianapol'is next Saturday; and in Chicago next Wednesday. B. F. Stull, the Oxford preacher who ran away with a lewd woman, <Olll6 time ago. has returned to his family, ragged, dirty and outwardly at least, repentant. He hcpt jiis way home and was arrested in j .nfayette for a tramp. The w*ny -if the transgressor is hard. - The printing cilice of the Brimneld, 111., News, C. F. Overacker, proprietor, was burned Monday l ight, with all its contents, not even a scrap of paper or the Sub--cr rot ion list was saved. The loss j- A • is a great misfortune to Mr. Overacker, but is partly covered by insurance. The fire.was the work of nn incendiary. lu the face of absolute knowledge to the contrary, the Democratic Sentinel repeats its assertion that the Tippecanoe county commissioners who made the index contract were Republicans and that the indexing was work that; had accumulated under Republican Auditors. That a lie well stuck to is not only as good as the truth j Out a good deal better, is one of jthe .foundation principles democratic doctrine, and one which our neighbor of the Sentinel practices with unswerving fidelity. He is a Democrat from way back, he is. 1 The first of the series oi ocean i yatch races, for the Americas cup, representing the championship of the world, came off Tues- j day.

The Republican has heretofore t’:irt‘fuliy hVisttiiiut-tl from utterijio any smitimenls or oiiiuioiis- Mhivli would, iu any degree however re- ] mote, prejudice tlife case of the! wdmnn who slew John (Steel. We j desire onlyHliat she may have a, fnir trial and that her pbuigliinentj if jiiiy be inflicted, bv strictly np- ! portioned to the measuro of her j guilt jyot all mitigating circum-j stam given full weight and if there* beany points or facts clearly -tst doubt, give the accused the ben- ! eflt of that doubt, in accordance ; with the wise and humane precepts of the law. And while thus avoiding anything that will unduly prejudice and embitter the minds of our people against the accused we should also condemn any attempt upon the part of others to create such feeling, if any were - nmde, which does not seem to, be the case; and wo must at the sometime I condemn the strong, efforts that

! are being made in certain I to induce our people tp believe itlie J killing justifiable, in advance of a trial nud before all the tacts bearing on tlie cnee can be fully known. I Most of the people who are mak- ! ing or endorsing this clamor in fa- ! vor of the accused are undoubtedj ly good and well meaning people, : but others, again, nre from quite | the opposite end of the moral scale, and nre more immoral and licentious than was the man whose j killing they try to justify because of bis immorality .and licentiousness. It weye an easy matter to expose the fallacy of many of .the arguments of these advocates of assassination and also to show the probable falsity of some of the so called facts relied upon as a basis for their conclusions; but as wo believe the better and the fairer course, for the newspapers of the town, under the existing circumstances, is to avoid and discourage a public, pro aud con. discussion of the case before all the circumstances bearing upon it are brought out at a judicial trial, we shall refrain from so doing. We will, however, remiud all right thinking people of a fact the truth t i which they already know, and that is that the lawless taking of a human iife is. a dreadful and an ,awful thing to occur in a com mu nij.ty, aud few worse calamities can befall-a; people than the growing up of a general disposition to look j upon the killing of a human being Jas a comparatively trivial thing, l and tlie justifying of it upon any j grounds but necessary self-defense' Jor the most extreme provocation, ; of some kind • —— •

Another Gas Well Eetter from Mr. Dwiggins.

Mr. Editor : In my article in last week’s Republican 1 referred textile fact that it-was only in certain localities that artesian water is found iu our town, for the sole purpose of proving that the formation changes very suddenly. .1 do not flunk the statement in your editorial that “If gas exists in tlie vicinity of Rensselaer in quantities of any importance,, we believe the chances are just as good for fiuding it ; one place as another” is borne out by the history of gas wells. lam credibly informed that had the good people of the city of Mvuicie, Ind., been content with the first well they sunk for gas, they would not now be enjoying the comforts of life andx the boom in business which was obtained from the large flow of gas they have secured. No gas was found in the first well. The second was only five or six rods from the first. It was not sunk as deep as the first by about 150 feet. 13uh a very strong flow of gas was found. Other cases might be cited but this is sufficient, As you. say, the gas is found iu whnt is called Trenton limestone, which is porous. AY as it so formed originally or have the interstices been caused by an upheaval? It is not difficult to find Tren ton rock, but to find Trenton rock that will produce gas is quite another thing. If it is all porous why does it not all contain gas? At Muncie Trenton rock was found in botLibe first and second wells. Why was it that a large flow of gas was found in the seciirst weH,~ when they were only five or six rods apart? Does it not. show conclusively that it does make some difference where the well is locat-

A DISASTROUS FAILURE.

LfaKpnt>B dP3©.9OCf Nominal *-38 ©OO. The talk t.L the toivn this week has been tlio financial emhantismeut of A. J. Yeoman, of .Jordan tjR, ex-sfieriii of the county, and one of our best known oiti'/iens. The news, has been espeeiu Uy startling from tlie fact that Mr. Yeomans financial Standing lias always been very high,.and no one' even drearhtVd of the coming failure. He owned a fine farm m j «I.oi’dan tp., which he has lately greatly improved, with gpod buildings; and also large quantities of live-stock. During the past year or two lie lias been actively engaged in buying and shipping livestock, of various kinds, ojid it was generally supposed that .his ventures in that line were usually successful. “ The amount of his liabilities, as stated by himself, are &3G,0U0 and his assets v-diUd); but it is sealcoly probable that in an enforced settlement, the assets will realize anywheres near the nominal figures. , -. • Tlie principal creditors, so far us can be learned, are some of liis most intimate friends, around town, and in his own neighborhood, and some of. the banks in this place. It is understood that all of these are pretty generally secured from fiual loss. Mr. Yeoman has here-to-fore enjoyed -an excellent reputation for business integrity mid there are few, it.any, who do not believe that the failure is something which Mr. Yeoman has sought strenuous-'* ly to avoid, and not a planned and premeditated swindling scheme, as so many failures are. This view of the case is confirmed * by the large sums Mr. Yeoman has lately expended on buildings. Had lie intended or even foreseen the present disaster, lie tvbfild not likely have expended money in improving property which would soon be taker, from him to pay r Tirr-dr r. Mr. Yeoman went over to Foresmau, Saturday night and departed for St. Louis, it is stated; but it is not generally thought that he has gone away permanently, but that he will return as souii as his feelings of mortification over his misfortunes, have somewhat subsided. It is stated on what is good_ authority, tliat the chief cause of his failure was unfortunate mininginvestments, made through a brother in iiio west.

A Novel Bet.

While I am not a betting man, said F. J. Cheney, of the firm- of F. J. Chaney & Co-, i considered if my religious duty to make that- fellow a bet, you see ho was about dead, and I guess he would of .died before Spring’, if 1 imu nut got him on t;e bet. You k,no V some men had' i’:itnor loose their life than lose a hundred, weit ho was one of that kind, aud so we both came near being out, but I saved ruy Ivund red aud it only- cost himu,ten tloibtrs. How’s thaV He sent for ino one day ami said -t-he doctors had till given him hip to die. v.iUi the catarrh. I told him that I. would bet him 8100 that; Hall’s Catarrh Curs would cure him | or I would give : him 8100 if it failed, ; he took the latter proposition. This was three months ago; you see how ho ooks now. don't you! «as well as any one, aud a dandy.—American, Toledo, Ohio.

Every State in the Union Calling for It.

We clip the following' from tlie troit Free Press, Detroit, Mich., Sept. 6 The remarkable success attained by Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup is most encouraging evidence that an honest, pure and valuable medicine is not in capable of attracting the attention of every family. Mr. Hibbard seems to have guaged the long felt want of the average iitmiiy of our day with wonderful accuracy, as there ’ seems but one opinion as to its great merit as a fain ily remedy. In fact, Hibbard s Rheumatic Syrup has struck the golden mean in the-treatment Ot all blood etiseases. and: it affords us sincere pleasure •to be able to -etiroaiele its conspicuous popularity. They have just published a book treating OQv»U blood diseases—a work on different diseases and their causes, feet,: also tepidie« and how ap plied.
