EXCITING SCENE IN COURT.

Liberty, Ind., Nov. 21. John E. Huntsberger, the Cottage Grove Station C. C. &' Li. a sent, under Indictjnent for arson and embezzelment, ."was acquitted by .the. Jury. The trial occupied the attention of the court for five day. Prosecutor Wiles was assisted by Hon. G. W. Pigman; Stanford and Barnhart appearing for the defendant. The case was ably prosecuted and" the attorneys for the defense were on the alert and able in their conduct of the "case. Huntsberger proved a good character up to the time of the burning of the depot at the Grove, and the evidence went to ebow that he had not been before, charged with or guilty of crime. Huntsberger bag been In jail some six months. Within thirty minutes the Jury announced its agreement on a verdict, and the announcement, caused considerable excitement. The audience cheered and the wife of the accused fainted, so overjoyed was she after the intense strain through which she had passed. Huntsberger was overjoyed and expressed his thanks to the Jurors. Whatever may be said of the case the verdict meets with popular favor. Huntsberger is still under indictment for embezzlement of express funds, but will probably secure bail and the indictments against him may be quashed. WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE? He Was Almost Dead. When the Root Juice people weTe Jiere hundreds of people nocked to A. G. Lukens drug store to see them and get some of the great remedy, and after they left the great sale of the remedy continued because of the many remarkable cures it made. Many names of people living in this locality who were cured by taking a few bottles of Root Juice were published In this paper. The remedy is such a health-promoting agent that it creates great excitement In every city in which It i introduced. That whole country seems to be aroused over the scores of cures the Juice is making at that point. Mr. Albert Timlick, of Cantrell, 111., wrote and Bald: "For a number of years I suffer ed with a severe stomach trouble and tried many kinds of medicine, but none did me any good. I was almost dead when I started on my first bottle of Root Juice, but as soon as I took, three or four , doses V began- to feet better. vFour bottles of the Juice made a complete cure of my troubles. I now have a good appetite and can eat anything I want. Before ,1 took Root . Juice I could not digest the lightest food. It would sour on my stomach and would bloat fearfully. I digest everything I eat now. It has certainly worked wonders for me." Root Juice Is a great healing tonic to the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys. It is sold for $1 a bottle.

H Sheds Some Sid Lights Upon Life and Morals. For a few dazzling side lights upon life and morals apply to the storage warehouse. Ton can find almost anything there from baby alligators to blocks of Ice cream and from Teddy bears to sauerkraut. So you won't be amazed at what the institution has most recently divulged. Here you hare the story: - Mrs. Q. repaired to the storage warehouse to extract her soup spoons, though It may have been aunts or trades or popcorn or guinea pigs. At any rate, her property declined to come out. It had been tucked in by Mr. Q. Only Mr. Q. might tempt it forth. Mrs. Q. protested. She wanted her catnip or theology or safety razor, or whatever It was, and made representations with great emphasis. She moved upon the management. She stormed and wept. After long wrangling the warehouse decided it would yield up the college Ice or was it the piano? if Mrs. Q. would swear she was still married to Mr. Q. and would send him a written statement (he was in Quebec, and I lost track of him owing to bewilderment produced by merely thinking of a storage warehouse) and make him return the statement, countersigned, to the management. This, then. Is bow Mrs. G. regained possession of her golf links or prayer book or sugar tongs. Well, say It was sugar tongs, thoug-h golf links would be likelier. Pressed for an explanation, the warehouse remarked: "Have to be careful, you know divorces, separations, affinities, you know. . Minute such things start up there's a' race to the storage place. Game Is for each to snatch out everything first. Becomes embarrassing !" Boston Transcript.

Like the Roar, tha Roll and the RattU of a Great Battle Is tho Noise of the Exploding 8talka That 8omtime Shoot High Into tho Air. When the forests are afire, when the smoke makes dusk at noon and reddens the barves: moon a thousand miles away, there it the measure of a conflagration. When the prairies burn, as they used to before farms had crept in upon the endless miles of grass, there was a fire .which ran like mad and left behind It a blackened trail of death. If one could combine the speed of the prairie fire with the tumult of

the blazing forest, that would be a fire indeed. Such a combination is effected when the bamboo groves catch fire. The bamboo is bat a grass, a grass with the height of a tree, swaying stems reaching 100, even 150, feet in air. In Cambodia, where the bamboo groves along the rivers cover the space of forests, it is no unusual thing for fires to break out and sweep all before them for many miles. If the summer has been dry the bamboo turns sear and inflammable as any grass. All that is needed is a spark; then ruin runs red. It is not necessary to rely upon the carelessness of the woodsman to start the blaze. The bamboo can kindle Itself. Let two swayirg stalks of dry bamboo be set in motion by the breeze, let one rub across the other long enough, and the friction will set the spark, and the long dry leaves will feed the flame. It is known that many fires of the bamboo forests thus originate. Perhaps it was from observing such a sight that primitive man learned the Promethean secret. That theory has been advanced. As soon as a flame in the bamboos has crept to the level of the tossing tips it spreads like wildfire. The wind parries a sheet of flame along the grove at tremendous speed. Some observers say that such fires have been seen to move forward at the rate of more than a mile a minute. Seen from below, it looks as If she sky had burst into an Instant flash of flame. From such a burst of fire there could be no escape. Fortunately it passes high overhead at the tops of the bamboos. It serves as a warning to the traveler who may be making his way along some one of the water courses by which the forest is intersected. The bamboo itself is almost an obstacle to travel of any sort It Is well nigh Impossible to force a way through it except by the slow and toilsome labor of hewing out a path. The fire tn the great trunks moves more slowly, and if warning be taken It may be possible to sink one's boat and throw up" wet herbage and clay against the bank of the stream to proride shelter until the furnace blast has blown by. Such a fire in the bamboo has not only the speed of the prairie fire on Its sweep overhead, but it has the same volume of fuel as is found In any forest fire. It combines the two types. Bamboo forest fires have another quality which is ajl their own. They bang and rattle with thunderous crashes, as of artillery fire, without cessation. The stalks of these tree bamboos are frequently more than a foot in diameter. Near the ground the Joints are close together; in the younger growth the nodes may be several feet apart. But, long er short as they may be. each Joint of the sun dried bamboo is a tightly sealed chamber filled with air. The partitions between the cavities are singularly tough; the outside rind of the stalks Is almost pure flint. When the blast of the flame sweeps onward the air in the stalks upon which it Is driven is suddenly heated to a very high temperature. The residuum of moisture -which may be in the stems is immediately transformed Into steam and at once subjected to superheating, thus becoming a violent explosive. As the hot breath of the flame becomes hotter these joints burst with loud cannon discharges. Sometimes the force of,the explosion near the roots Is so great as to shoot the stalk like a javelin high Into the air, where it flashes Into torchlike flame and is carried by the wind to spread wider disaster. The bursting of the smaller joints Is like the roll and rattle of rifles and machine guns. The effect is that of a battle hotly contested. Washington Post. An Aquatic Outfielder. One day a ship was lying at anchor at Boca Grande when the crew observed a dolphin chasing a flying fish, both coming directly toward the ship. On Hearing the vessel the flier arose in the air and passed over the bow just abaft the foremast As it did so the dolphin went under the ship and, coming up on the other side, sprang from the water and caught the flying fish on "the fly" just as it was curving gracefully down in its descent to the water.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21. A law partnership to be made up of Governor Hanly, Charles V. McAdams and Judge Samuel R. Artman has been established. It is said, however, that Governor Hanly will not. have any active part in the law firm until after the expiration of his term as governor. The offices of the firm will be in the Odd Fellows' . Building. Mr. McAdams served as a member of the Indiana Railroad commission. Judge Artman was defeated at the recent election for the office of circuit judge in Boone county.

THE BELTED PLAID. This Waa the- Original Dress of the. Scottish Highlander. The original dress of the higblander was the belted plaid. This was a piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad and four long, which was drawn around the Waist in nicely adjusted folds and tightly buckled with a belt The lower part came down to the knees iu much the same manner as tho modern kilt, while the upper part was drawn up and adjusted to the left shoulder, so that the right arm might be perfectly free. This upper part was the plaid, which was used as a covering for the shoulders and body in wet weather, aud when the use of both arms was required it was fastened across the breast with a broorh, often curiously enriched. A brooch was also used to fasten the plaid on the left shoulder. To attire himself in the belted plaid required on the part of the higblander no small amount of dexterity. The usual way was to lay it ou the floor and after carefully arranging the folds to lie down upon it and then buckle it ou. The lower end was fastened at the right hip. The utility of such a dress in the highlands is obvious, for the plaid rendered the man indifferent to storms and prepared to pass a night in the open air in the most inclement weather, while the loose undergarment enabled him to wade rivers or ascend mountains with equal ease. It was thus peculiarly adapted to the warrior, the hunter and the shepherd. London Mail. PRAIRIE DOGS. Choked Up at River While Traveltna From Oklahoma to Texas. "The prairie dog migration from Oklahoma to southwestern Texas during July, 1874, eclipsed anything of that sort witnessed by white men in this country," said a veteran who saw it. "Millions of the frisky little barkers must have been in quest of new pastures or perhaps feared the approaching legions of home seekers would surely exterminate the dogs and plow up the dog towns. The prairie dog migration from the north to the southwest lasted six days during the month of July, 1874. The traveling dogs while crossing the Red river interfered to a great extent with the cattle that came to that stream to quench their thirst. Some cowboys that werei on the banks of Red river during the time when the prairie dogs swam across say that the stream was chock full of the little rascals for many miles up and down the river. The thirsty cattle were either unable or unwilling to stick their mouths into the water through the moving mass of living prairie dogs. The cowboys were getting ready to drive the famishing stock to a distant stream, but the Red river became clear of the repelling swimmers after blocking the useful drinking place for about a week. It was generally supposed that the dogs halted when they had reached the staked plains of Texas." Kansas City Times. The Pin la EscUnd. The date of the first manufacture of pins in England is shrouded in uncertainty, but it is authentically recorded that as early as 1464, when money was "tight," extensive cloth workers compelled their laborers to accept in payment for their work "pins, girdles and other unprofitable wares instead of money." The march of improvement had begun and kept on steadily until toward the middle of the sixteenth century pins began to win appreciation so high that statutes were enacted protecting their manufacture, and rigid laws were passed prohibiting the importation of numerous minor articles, .including pins, gloves, knives, tailors shears, scissors and Irons. Up to this period female dress was fastened with ribbons, laces, clasps, hooks and eyes and skewers of brass, silver and gold. The latter were, in fact pins without heads. London Globe. 'Wild Flowers oC Alaska. Up In "green Alaska," as John Burroughs found it, the predominating color of the wild flowers is blue. The wild geranium is blue and tinges the slopes as daisies and buttercups do with us. He speaks of "patches of a most exquisite forgetmenot of pure, delicate bine with yellow center that grew to the height of about a foot. A handful of It looked like something just caught out of the sky above." In another paragraph he speaks of the forgetmenot growing round an Eskimo encampment at Plover bay, within sight of the Siberian coast that was scarcely an inch high, of deep ultramarine blue, "the deepest, most intense blue I ever saw in a wild flower." . Fish Oat of Water. Many people think that fish when taken out of water die because air has a fatal effect on them. The real reason, however, is that their delicate gill filaments or membranes become dry and stick together, so that no air can can pass between them. Thus they lose the power to imbibe necessary oxygen, and the circulation of their blood stops. The painful gasping of a fish out of water is nature's effort to free the passage through the filaments.

BIG LOCAL TRAFFIC ON RAILROADS Long Distance Travel Ceases ' Until After Holidays. "From now until after the holidays, passenger business on the railroads will be limited to local passenger business almost exclusively and there will be very few tickets sold to parties contemplating long journeys," declared a local ticket agent this morning. After the Christmas business between this and southern points will be much larger. During the weeks preceeding the holidays the railroads will do a heavy business into Richmond from points on the G. R. & I., the C, C. & L. and Pennsylvania. THE ART OF COMPLIMENT. Worth tho 8tudy of Those Who Valus Life's Pleasantness. There la still an art of compliment and it Is still practiced worthily ant" unworthily. The flatterer of todaj deals little in words. He acts and, above all, he imitates. We all Imitate each other with a pitiful diligence. All classes try to dress alike, talk alike and even think alike. With a sad want of dignity men and women fear to take their own line to show the kind of hospitality which best befits their incomes, to wear the clothes most convenient for teir work, to talk upon the subjects which interest them, to express the disapproval which tha class above them ridicule and the admiration which offends the fashion leaders of literature and art The art of compliment may, bowever, be well worth the study of all those who value the pleasantness of life above its pleasures. Graciousness is never out of fashion. We must tell our friends from time to rime what we think of them. There are reserves which blight the whole beauty of life. But we must be at the pains to tell them in the right way, for friendship in some of its aspects is an art. Again, If we hope to get much enjoyment out of social life we must take the trouble to show ourselves well disposed and must know how to turn Indifferent and insignificant occasions to account This cannot be done without consid eration. A "pretty speech" is a form of present one of those little gifts which, according to the French say lag, cement great friendships, and when one desires to mats a present it Is worth while to try to find ont what will best please. They are happiest who know by instinctive sympathy, but surely those who take pains to find out have nothing to be ashamed of. Setting aside the great essentials of happiness, health, family affection and the love of work, it is probable that nothing, no amusement and no hobby and no "pursuit" contributes so much to the pleasantness of life at the traffic In kind speeches.

GOVERNMENT TO TEACH CHILOREN Do Hot Know How to Place Addresses on Envelopes.

Postmaster Spekenhler will take the initiative in regard to introducing into the Richmond public schools, a form showing the proper method of addressing envelopes and the correct return address. Mr. Spekenhler stated this morning that the only way .o reach the many persons of Richmond who do not know the proper method of addressing envelopes is through the children who are attending schools. "The people of Richmond are better acquainted with the postal laws in respect to this matter," he said. "If persons .who fail to write the address plainly, would only put the return address on, there would be no need of the dead letter office. Last year 12,tW0.00O pieces went to this office." During the next few days the teachers of the schools will be the recipients of blanks giving the correct method of backing envelopes and they will be requested to teach it to their pupils. Supt. T. A. Mott stated that this subject has been given attention each term, but he stated that he expected the teachers to co-operate with Postmaster Spekenhler and it is expected that in this manner much more satisfactory results can be secured. An Odd Inducement. A little boy sat bellowing and roaring with toothache on his nurse's lap. "Do have it out, Master Bobby!" the nurse kept pleading. "It won't hurt, and jthen all the ache will be over." But Bobby, unheeding, continued to bellow and roar. "Do have It out!" the nurse repeated. Bobby shook his bead and roared on. His brother, a year older, looked up from the block house he was building, distracted for the nonce by the loud cries of distress that resounded through the room, and as be returned to bis blocks again said encouragingly: "Tea, have It out.
