The election of (h- dy»)H*.ratie candidate for town marshal by a majority of 102 when Republicans were frbrrted for iiltttiT* ~nTtier “offices by .an average maj ority of nearly 90, is the most astonishing fact that has occured iu local politics, in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. If Mr. Simpson had been given enough Republican votes to have elected him by a Small majority, no one would have been greatly surprised, Ifut when almost exactly half of the Republican voters in the town gave him ♦heir ballots, what wonder if astonishment supersedes every other feeling. Wily it should have been so, is inscrutibie, “one of those things which an feller can find ont.” But whatever the cause or combination of causes may have been, justice to Mr. Mori an, the unsuccessful candidate, requires us to say that personal objection to him cut no figure in the matter, worth mentioning. He is a good man, honest, faithful and active,and we don’t believe that of all who scratched Iliri name last Monday, a half dozen did su through -any belief that he was not a deservingman, or likely to prove an incompetent official.

Congressman Owen as a Hustler.

SjKcial to to the ludianajMilU Jouoai. Washington, May s.—Representative Owen left Washington to-night for his home at Logansport. He canfe here to secure a number of changes in the railway mail service iu his district, and met with extraordinary success. He secured the removal of thirteen democrats, and the appointment of as many Republicans to fill their places. This is one more appointment in this service than has been secured by any one man in Congress. The clerks about the office of the superintendent of the railway mail service are now referring to Mr. Owen as “the Hoosier Hustler,”

THE NEW LAWS.

State Printer Burford has completed the printing and binding of the acts of the legislature for 1889, and the work is suid to have been very artistically done. Two hundred and fifty-two bills and resolutions are printed. Ten thousand of the acts are required by law to be published and distributed by the secretary t>f state, who shall receive for his “arduous labor” not to exceed $250. So soon as they are printed, it is his dnty to employ some person or persons to deliver the volumes to the clerks of the various counties. These delivery clerks are required to give bond with freehold surety. Bach judge, prosecuting attorney, township trustee, justice of the peace, and comity officer, tled to one copy. When the messengers distribute the acts they are required to take receipts from the county clerks, and when the last, of the receipts is in possession of the secretary of state, the lattor is required to certify the fact to the governor, who thereupon Issues his proclamation, announcing the date of the last filing, and the acts are then the law of the laud.—Ex. The above from a neighboring exchange may be correct in some particulars, but os to the manner

of the delivery of the books it does not appear to be in accordance with the facts, as the supply of the printed copiesof the law has just been received by the clerk, through the agency of the express* company. It is a book of 560 pages and as well printed as such work usually is.

A SHARP SWINDLING SCHEME.

A very shrewd attempt to swindle a prominent Carroll county man, and which was foiled only by the strong native honesty of the" intended victim, is thus described iu the Indianapolis Journal: Ten days ago, a fine looking man called at Jhe residence of Mr. Robert Fisher, a prominent resident of this county, and opened negotiations for the purchase of' his farm. He represented himself as a son-in-law of Moses Fowler, of Lafayette, and stated that he desired to purchase the farm for a widow of that place. He left after making some inquiries, and last Friday returned again, examined the farm and buildings carefully even- going into the cellar. The man Lis name as Graham. Ingoing to the north part of the farm, Graham proposed that they drive over in his buggy, which proposition was accepted. -They had gone but "a short dis-

tance, w hen they met a third party ou foot. The fellow was coarsely dressed, pretended to be silly, exhibited immense rolls of money _ andrda ted ilia the had been heathen out of 81,000 in Chicago with cards, but that he had the cards, and was going back to Tennessee, where he would “get even” by playing the trick on his neighbors. Hebhcn produced three cards and Graham won 800 in betting ho could turn tire right card. The fellow, in ; bis : serai-idiotic character. wanted to bet Graham and Mr. Fisher $5,000 that neither omt of them “muld q)ick--out bhe red card.” Graham retired with Mr. Fisher, and appeared to be .greatly excited, he said they might as well have that $5,000 as any one else, and suggested that he, Graham, could raise $2,500 of the $5,000. Mr. Fisher stated that his conscience would not permit him to use money secured in that way, and no persuasion could induce him to join rn the scheme. Graham took his confederate into his buggy and brought him to Delphi, telling Fisher that he would have him examined as to his mental condition and have the money deposited in one of the banks. The strange part about the whole thing is that Mr. Fisher did not suspect that the whole thing was a scheme to defraud him until several hours after it was all over But for his native honesty he would have lost $2,500. From the descriptions that have been given it is thought ’that Graham is none other than the notorious Dam Scribner, who, some time ago, worked a Wabash county farmer outofs6,ooo.

TO HARNESS NIAGARA.

A CfclMRO Mm rrifMW to Makt Cap. Wm That Great Water Pewerw TV problem of how to utakze the water power of Niagara river for manufacturing; and other purposes is in a fair waj of being solved toy at Chicago man. Prac tlcal engineers have declared the project feasible, and plans have been formulated with the object of Undertaking Die work. C. B. Bartlett, the engineer and contractor of that city, has been Tor some time engaged upon the preparatory work, and the result of his labors have not only received the approval of capitalists bat are protected by letters of patent issued by the Government last month. During the current week application will be made to the New York Legislature for the necessary authority to undertake the work. The application is indorsed by prominent citizens ol Chicago, and it is not thought there will be any difficulty in securing the legislation desired. The bed of Niagara river at the foot of the fulls is said to be 160 feet from the bed at the brink of the cataract. Mr. Bartlett proposes to first tunnel a series of tail-races from the river bed at the foot of the falls a distance of from 200 to COO feet up the river, on either the American or Canadian side. These completed he will commence excavating on a direct line to the upper bed of the river. When the work has reached a given point between. the upper and lower beds, coffer-dams 100x000 feet in dimensions will be employed for the purpnse of obtaining space in the formCTTo continue the excavation from the upper bed of the river, and the same will be prosecuted until a junction is made with the excavation from below. This completed, hcayy iron beams will be anchored in the solid stone walls composing the sides of the shaft, lo prevent clogging by debris, ice, etc., caught in the river current in its course from Lake Erie. The same course of operations will he continued until a tunnel, so to speak, of a - par-iliei-wtdth-or forty-two lee l has"heetT excavated from the American to the Canadian shore. Ten feet below these girders a water-tight reservoir will he constructed of durable'material, extending longitudinally front shore to shore. It will be forty fiait in width and otherwise sufficient in size for the service. It will he supported in the center by the bottom of the excavation and securely held in place,.jS"x feet below the reservoir the workroom of the hands wiil be built on another set of girders, also mor ticed into the rocky sides of thu passage. From the working floor a double row of iron pipes, live feet iu diameter, will he located at a distance of sixteen feet apart throughout the entire lengfh of the tunnel, extending from top to bottom. The interior of each will be equipped with a turbine wheel of the latest improved pattern, and each of the pipes will connect with, the reservoir by means of teninch pipes, supplied wit'fT valves to regulate the flow of water by dynamos to the number of 100 will be placed at the bottom of the shaft. By opening the valves a flow of water of incalculable force wiil pass through the ten-inch pipes into .the five-foot pipes, Startimr the turhlrfC wheels, apd the power thus applied to the dynamos is transmitted O-ver -wires to any given point within a radius of fifty miles, where it can be utilized as a very cheap substitute for steam or other motive agency. If the right of way is secured in New York a company will be organized for the development of this invention, —and the preliminary work upon the excavation will be commenced. The work, it is claimed, can be concluded and in operation within a year.

Horton, Foreman Headlight, Morrillton, Ark. “ I have been afflicted -with asthma for forty years, and last spring was taken with a violent cough which threatened to terminate my days. Every one pronounced me in consumption. I determined to "Try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Its effect was magical. I was immediately relieved and continued to improve until entirely recovered.”—Joel Bullard, Guilford, Conn. “ Six months ago I had a severe hemorrhage of the lungs, brought on by an incessant cough which deprived meof sleep and rest. I tried various remedies, but olij- tained-no reiief untH-I began to-take Aver’s Cherry Pectoral. A few bottles of this medicine cured me.”—Mrs. E. Coburn, 19 Second st., Lowell, Mass. “For children afflicted with colds, coughs, sore throat, or croup, I know of no remedy which will give such speedy relief anil comfort as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.

Quite a number of the children had constitutional blood diseases resulting from the sins of the parents and every one of these children were cured of the horrible \ taint by the use of S. S. S. ! There have been scores of cliil- | dren in the institution whose sysj terns ( they having been mostly | without the benefits of parental care) were enervated by dirt eating and other foul practices. Every one of these children have taken S. S. S. and all have singnally beiiefitted by it. All have been cured who have taken enough of it. Wo have also two inmates sos the home subject to painful re-oc-curing attacks of erysipelas. Neither one improved under the treatment usual for the disease. When all other mecpcines was discarded they took S. S. S. the cure in each case was quick and permanent, for they have been well for five years and there has been no return of the disease.
