Tragedy Begets Tragedy. Valpo V ldetter ‘— The Ellwanger murder, which occurred just one year ago, at Crown Point, is once more freshened in the minds of the people and has caused another tragedy to occur in the family. Since last May when Otto Ellwanger, son of Jacob Ellwanger, killed his wife and himself, the father has continually talked and brooded over the murder until yesterday when he went to the barn and shot himself in the temple and was found soon after by his wife, who is now on the verge of death caused by the shock. Mr. Ellwanger was one of the leading contractors at that place.

Back to the Baths.

W. P. Walker was home last week after an absence of three weeks at the Delphian Baths Sanitarium at Delphi. Mr. Walker was running about ail over town, and the improvement in his condition was such that his friends all congratulated him and rejoiced with him over hiss improvement. He has been a very patient sufferer for a long time and it takes a great deal of grit and forbearance to keep plugging along as he has done without stopping to give heed to the rheumatic twinges that finally pulled him down. Mr. Walker returned to Delphi last Thursday to resume his treatment there and believes he will be permanently cured. The Delphian Baths have a > good many friends in Jasper county who are enthusiastic in their praise of the mineral waters there. The new san--4 , » - itarium, just opened m February, is starting out under the most promising circumstances. The reputation of the water was established two years ago and the new sanitarium will make Delphi a favorite health resort. 36-4 t.

MARVELOUS RESULTS.

Prom a letter written by Rev. J. G underman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation In recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, os the recults were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptlslt Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

The Democratic Convention.

The Democralis County convention was held in the corirt house, Saturday afternoon. In strict truth it was neither large nor enthusiastic. When called to order by County Chairman Shields there were just 36 persons present, several df whom were spectators. And thi||number wa3 not increased vety materially at any time. Ira Yeoman, of Remington, was elected chairman of the. convention, and Geo. Stembel, of Wheatfield secretary. ______ The ticket nominated was as fol-lows-.'TT - '"V For Treasurer Ammon Beasley, of Remington. For Recorder, Judson J. Hunt, of Gill am. , For Sheriff, Frank Fisher, of Kankakee. For Surveyor, El wood Spriggs, of Keener. For Coroner Dr. Pothiusje, of Remington. Commissioner, Frist Distriot, Wm. Cooper, of Union. Commissioner, Third District, John Tillman, of Carpenter. All the nominations were made by acclamation except Commissioner for the Frist District, where the choice was between Mr. Cooper and -Frank Hershman. of Walker. The ticket was, of course, mostly arranged beforehand by the bosses, and is fixed up for the Populists to swallow bodily. Beasely, Fisher, Spriggs, Cooper and Pothiusje are Democrats. Hunt and Stillman are supposed to be Populists. The convention forgot to nominate an Assessor. The convention chose delegates to the democratic state convention as follows: P,_ELJDftvis, N. S.

Law of the Road.

The olet trouble between bicyclers and teamsters, relative to rights on the highway, has begun to rise again, Each party will do well to remember that the other is entitled to half the road. This matter has been tested several times in the court and every time with the same result. The teamster is obliged to give half the road to the bicycle, and on the other hand a drove of sweating “scorchers” have no right to expect a teamster to turn out in the ditch to make way for a wild road race. The law says to divide the road and turn to the right. Ferguson <fe Wilson furnish money on the B <k L plan at the lowest rate Only $1.40 per month.

LONG AND SHORT LEGS.

Irregularities to £±sr Divisions Due to J the Manner of Measurement. It is a commonly accepted theory that a man step* three feet, and many 3. tract of land has been “stepped off” Instead of measured with a chain. In the west they obviate the difficulties; of surveys .by the land being divided into Sections, bnt In Pennsylvania' much of the property, especially in the mountains, must still be described by, metes and bounds. In one of the conn- 1 ties in western Pennsylvania,' says the Washington Star, axe two brothers, 1 one of whom is tall and lank, the other' short and fat. Many years ago they, purchased a tract of mountain land] calling for a mile square. They divided the labor of measuring it, one stepping off one side, the other the other side.) Then they fenced it in and were per-i fectly satisfied until recently when suitj was brought to recover a considerable tract of the land. Each brother swore 1 that they knew the measurement to be right, and told haw it had been done. Then, as the spectators saw the short legs of the one, scarcely long enough to. reach the floor when he sat in a chair,* and the elongated extremities of the other, there was a general laugh, in which the judge and attorney joined. Upon surveying, it was found that one line was a mile and half long, and the* other only a little over half a mile.

GRUB CAUSED GREAT LOSS.

By Falling Among Diamonds a Commotion Was Created. X A salesman in one of the bigUßestnut street jewelry stores recently lost a few small diamonds through, a very pe-i culiar accident, says the Philadelphia! Record. The salesman had taken thej diamonds out of the big safe and was! counting them in the rear office ofj the store, when the accident oecurred. ( He had spread the stones out on a largesheet of tissue paper and was sorting them in the bright light which cams down through a glass skylight directly 1 above him. In the woodwork surrounding the glass in the ceiling an insignificant grub worm was working! away industriously. The man below 1 knew nothing of the existence of the Worm, nor did he realize the part it wad shortly to play in his affairs. Suddenly! the worm broke through the outer shell 1 of the wood and fell plump upon the sheet of tissue paper, scattering the diamonds right and left. The salesman worked for two hours in gathering up the tiny precious stones and then found that four of the stones were still missing. This meant sls or S2O to him, for that was what the lost stones were worth. He never recovered them, but he threw the grubworm into the stove and watched it burn with fiendish satisfaction.

SAVED BY A GLOVE BUTTON.

Moments That Were JfuU of Peril and Seemed Dike Hours. How much may depend upon a glove fastening was Illustrated at one of the Monson slate quarries in an adventure which the person concerned would not ,care to repeat, says the Lewiston Journal. He was a derrick man, who stood on the brink of one of the great chasms from which the (date rock is hoisted. His duty was to catch held of the big book depending from the end of the boom as it swung over .the bank «md attach it to the crate to be sent bock into thle pit. Standing upon the very edge he reached out to catch the hook which dangled near Mm. It was winter and he wore thick buckskin gloves. The hook slipped from him os he leaned but, but caught into the fastening of the glove. The swing of the great boom took him off his feet in an instant and carried him out into the giddy space with his life depending on the glove’s holding fast. His whole weight was hung on that button, and there was a clear 175 feet of space between him and the floor of rock below. The moments that passed before the boom could be swung back over the bank seemed like hours to him, hut he got there at last, safe and sound.

A Kick for Each Name.

“Hang Theology" Rogers, the distinguished English philanthropist who died recently at 77, got his nickname from calling out "Hang economics! Hang theology!" at a school board meeting where theoretical questions hindered progress. His Independent and energetic character may be inferred from this story of his youthful days: A new boy came to school dressed in a light blue jacket faced with velvet, white trousers and waistcoat, and a turned down collar and frills. Rogers went np to him and asked him his name.- Ths &»y replied^ Stuart Vane, Viscount Seaborn, and my father is the marquis of Londonderry.* Whereupon Rogers kicked him three times, once for Vane, once “for Seaham, and once for Londonderry.

Those Reiations of Ours.

> A British gentleman who has recently died has said that "a man’s mother is his misfortune, while his wife is his fault." This cynical harshness loses some of its unpleasantness when the writer goes on to explain that, while one’s friends are his choice, his relatives are thrust upon him, and no one is so angelic as not to confess that there are occasionally cases where the tyranny of kin is most lamentable. Tho scapegrace cousin, the tedious aunt, the gruff uncle who delights In humiliating the family, even the drunken father or the hoydenish sister are too well known to be denied.
