He also paid a isit to the court room in whioh he was twioe tried for his life and where he both time 3 escaped the gallows Beam at the jr sent time is living at h. me on his farm near Valparaiso. His sister living at ladiana Harbor is very low and this vitas the reason for his vis't t > this oounty.

Where Gifford's Road Is Going.

At lh.-t R J. Gifford has definitely settled t.ii* long debated question of a non hern terminus of his railroad. It is to be at Indiana Harbor, that wonderfully growing and enters new town on Lake Mi ,:- i jiu northeast of Hammond. lie expects to resume work on his road, north of the Kankakee, in about a mouth from now and to push it right along His read already connaots with the Monon at its south eM aud when it reaches the lake shore at Indiana Harbor at its north end, its terminal facilities will be all right.

Schedule of Notes Filed.

Assignee Chapman filed b t Saturday forenoon, a schedule of the m tea and checks found in the bank. The oash iu the vault was 1449 26 The notes, as we uuders and, include all that have not been “spouted’' as oolleoteral, to borrow money on. There is a large uum her of them, and some are old enough to nearly be outlawed. The largest good notes are three by Baboook & Hopkins for $2,000 jaoh and two by W. C Baboook amounting to $2681.53 A whole lot of them are utterly worthlees Those given by A MoCoy personally, are now of no probable value, as all his property that oan be is held in any case is already turned over. There are two of them amounting to $5636, They as we understand, -are separ ate from his over-drawn bank account. The oid busted Separated Butter Co., up with a note of $539 04. J. F. Hill of RoseLiwu, has one for 218:21. S. M of Fair Oiks, one for $19183. H. E Hait'ey, of a busted Groodland grain firm, three of the vintage of 1897, am ounting to $1,430. What the appraisers will do to tbe«e, and a whole lot more off the same piece, wont be very much,

Two able bjdied notes a’so bob up against W. A. Rinehart. He who would have been assignee One of these is for $1261 08 It is eo old that it has whiskera on it, but whether it will stand‘’shaving” or not is for the appraisers ti deoide It is dated 1897. Another of his is comparatively recent- It is dated only from Deo. 1903, and is for $1,400. Whether William would have reoGgaized these old friends of his, especially the gray whisker ed one, had be remained assigneis a problem that must now wait for solution until we find out “who struck Billy PattersoD.” These notes now scheduled aggregate $39885 94. At a cursory examination, we should say that SIB,OOO to $20,000 oan be realized, on them.

Julius Peppered a Pilferer

\V*tch out for a man the seat of whose pants are like unto the t p of a pepper box. Thursday nigUt after the street concert Julius Taylor, the colored osrpentor. on going to his lonely home east of theca.tie pens ue-r the railroad, heard some one iu his kitohen. He beard the man run out, and saw him going with a choioa collection of groceries under his arm that Julius had bought foi bis own use. It was not the first time prowlers had raided Julius grocery magazine, and he was fixed for the oooasion. Pioking up his shot gun, leaded with bird shot, he waited until the man was far enough away not to be hurt seriously, and then baDged away at that part of his rear elevation where a peppering of shot would most expedite aud least dia oommode his lcoomo’ion Tne gun banged and the man jumpjd, dropped Julius’s groceries and disappeared down the pike, like he expected to go clear through without stopping to ohange engines. He also jumped dear out from under bis derby hat, and did not stop to pick it up. Julius saved the hat and no doubt tbe owner can get it by proving property.

A Township Trustee Assaulted.

John Gr. Hayes Led a heari<• g before Squire Trcx-fil Friday afte'nron, on the charge of assault and baUe/$> on E’iss Arnold, trustee of Baik! yip It germs that Hayes ha« b Q en teaching in that township, and ttiat last winter smallp x got into the school, and caused it to be closed some 11 days before the oontract time for the terra to end. Mr Hayes demanded full pay for the time not taught, as hA had a legal fight to do, though ad vised not to by the oounty superintendent, who said it was not usually demanded in suoh cases. Mr. Arnold protested but paid the full amount. Later Mr. Hayes wanted to be promised another school, and this Mr. Arnold refns ed to d>. Afterwards Mr Hayes wrote tithe oounty superintend ent, stating that he cuu’d make some very damaging revelatitns regarding MtU\. r n?ld, if he ohose to do so

Last Monday night Arnold aud Hayes mtt in towu, and Arnold asked what be meant by the allegations in the letter. Hayps refused to say, and Arnold then a lid he beli«vtd Hayes wa9 a liar. Wtdaesday evening Bayes and his father went to Arnold’s farm meeting him iu the field just as he had fiuished a hard day’s plnwiag They talked a little aud theD demanded that Arnold should apologize for cal'iog him a li->r. Arnold said he had only said what he (bought wn9 true and would not up fiogize Hayes then attacked Arnold, and knocked him down and got on him. Arm.! 1 foughi baok, but Hayes got his teeth iD action and bit Ara fid’s thumb badly. Two cuts near theey-, one short the other long, but both quit deep and dear ouh were also. according to )-o ne of the evidenc , probably caused by biting.

Mr. Arnold had Hajes f-riested before Squire Troxeil. Hayes plead guilty, but th* Squire called witnesses as to the seventy of -the assault, and $lO and cos's Iu all ami uuted t $25.90. A stay of 90 days was. taken, with his father as surety.

The attaok ou Mr. Amnia was decidedly unwarranted and a bad break on young Hayes part, and a!! the more to be regretted because of his previous high repute.

A Statement From Mr. Hayes.

As to the “damaging revelation-” I at first refused to state Ahem to Mr Arnold because he appea-td to be excited mid perhaps intoxicated but°as he insisted l stated them in part- Arnold then cal ed me a liar without any qualifications and repeated the statement several time iu a very insolent manner - ,

TOO MUCH MEDICINE. The system continually wronged by over>eating and ovtft drinking, and the debilitated condition aggravated by dosing with harsh nauseous drugs and medicines

The excessive and indiscriminate use of medicines, In these days, cannot be too strongly condemned. The food you eat If properly digested, is all the tonic you need. Only common sense la needed. The food must be digested and the bowels must not be allowed to clog. I’reserve your health by preventing these conditions. Constipation surely leads to Indigestion, biliousness, etc., and these conditions when neglected affect the condition of the blood, debilitate the system, rendering it susceptible to more serious allmeuts, sad less able to resist such attacks. If your stomach has been abused by overeating, weakened by drugs or sickness, you won t have to stop eating or diet yourself. All you need Is something that wilt aid the stomach in Its functions and relieve it from being constantly irritated by undigested food. The purest and simplest remedy tor this purpose are the California Prune Wafers, • natural dissolvent made from the pure, fresh fruit, s general laxative and sweetener of the stomach—no other medicine is necessary. When yon are Billons, It is a sign that your Liver is out of order, snd the poisonous Dlle, instead of being excreted from the body through the intestines, is taken up in the Mood. As a result of biliousness, the entire .

A. Larsh, Druggist.

As to “biting Arnold below and b» the side of the left eye” this is u true. I did not bite his face and testified at trial to that fact, also my father testified to the same. The attack was not “wholly un waranted ” I did not attack him until he insulted me repeatedly, and without just cause.

JOH G. HAYES.

Wi cheerfully give space to Mr. Hayeo’s statement, and all the more so because he has always heretofore been known as a very excellent and peacab'e young man, as well as a very courteous and gentlemanly one. Regarding the injuries on the face, about which the evidence conflicted; the physician who dressed them now states they were made by some sharp instrumentality, which might or might not have been teeth.
