£ljc Jn&cprnircnt. uLKiiR 1 ON, INDIANA, SEPT. 30, 1893. W. A. ENDLEW Editor. Senator Hill will do a little stumping in Ohio. Twenty-nine of the Roby gang have been indicted. A week has passed without a single train robbery sensation. It is said that yellow fever prevails in Georgia and is spreading. Senator Feller wants the government to offer a reward for the scalps P train robbers. Gov. McKinley and Larry Neal will discuss the tariff question jointly in the Ohio campaign.

An enterprising matrimonial agency in Kansas has displayed the following sign: “Old bachelors and old maids a specialty.” H. A. Barnhart, editor of the Rochester Sentinel, has been taking treatment in Chicago for hernia and neuralgia of the heart. His condition is said to be somewhat critical. Os all the mob of rioters who were arrested on the Lake Front in Chicago recently not one spoke English. A fruitful source of the labor troubles and riots in the United States is no doubt our lax immigration system. ' Ex-Secretary Foster’s affairs have been thoroughly investigated by the assignee, who is warranted in making the statement that there is not the least I trace of crookedness in Mr. Fosters’s i affairs and that everything is straight and honest. Hoosiers are obliged to confess with shame that Indiana affords a fertile field for the operations of the “green goods” sharpers. The newspapers, too, are vigilant in constantly exposing these frauds. It would seem that there are some people in Indiana who do not read.

Indiana Day at the world’s fair last "Wednesday was one of the conspicuous events of the fair. Ex-President Harrison, Gov. Mathews ajpd . uUmr .Tuujument citizens ino state delivered addresses. The ex-president, the most distinguished of Indianians, received a royal reception. Talk about the demoralization foreigners are bringing into American society! Three-fourths of all the criminals in our penitentiaries are native American born.—Elkhart Truth. This leaves one-fourth of our jail birds foreigners—just double the proportion they are entitled to, as they number only 7 one-eighth of the population. The Truth's little article is a sly little boomerang, and proves that foreigners furnish twice as many I criminals as the native burn.—Milford Mail. Duncan, the brakeman on the Big Four train which was wrecked near Kankakee recently, has been arrested and locked up charged with murder. He was greatly surprised at his arrest. He no doubt supposed that the matter would be dropped, as is usually the case so far as criminal responsibility is concerned in railroad accidents, and that no punitive damages would be demanded. It is encouraging to know that the affair is to^e investigated to the bottom and t^ ones guilty of! criminal negligence made to suffer. Duncan declares that he was attending to his duty, but circumstances are

decidedly against him. A trial will best determine whether Jie is guilty or not. The Railroad Gazette, in its issue of Sept. 9, publishes some interest ing statistics it has collected, showing to what i I an extent train wrecking and train j robbing was carried on the first six , months of this year. These statistics show that there were in that period twenty-one attempts to wreck trains and twenty-one attempts to rob trains. Massachusetts, Illinois and Ohio rank

first, second and third in the number of attempts to wreck trains. In these three states more than half the attempts were made, and New York, strangely enough, is fourth. The , great mileage of railways iq these states and the great number of tramps that flourish there is said to be the cause. lowa heads the list of states in the number of train robberies; the Indian Territory and Oklahoma together have about the same number, Texas is third, Kansas fourth and Nebraska fifth. Sixty-seven per cent of all the train robberies or attempted robberies occurred in these states.

A writer says: “If I wanted to ' formulate a plan to make a man poor -for life, it would be—work early and late, utilizing every moment at hard, unceasing toil with the hands, and never stop to think or read the - thoughts of others.” Sol Hathaway, of the Indianapolis Independent, is shocked at the too . frequent mention of the “Cherokee Strip,” by some of the local papers. Up this way we have about fifty widowers, who go into ecstacies every time an allusion is made to it.—Goshen Democrat.. The Indiana man of every class, from the ex-president to the backwoods farmer, was at Chicago Wednesday, and the Record of that city says: “To be a Hoosier yesterday morning was a privilege; at noon it had become a dis- . tiuction; by nightfall it was a crowning glory, and every man with a yellow < badge on his coat felt sorry for the ! other states which could not celebrate ' with ex-presidents,.poets and fireworks. ,

Richard Neff, whose actions at the . terrible Lake Erie & Western disaster • at the Peru bridge in January 7 were deemed worthy of a medal by the legislature, is said to be a physical wreck. He lives in Indianapolis and for some time has been a collector for a gas company. His ribs were pushed out of place by the, fall he received when the bridge went down and were never restored properly, so that he is now caused frequent pain and sometimes has to cease work entirely. His injured hip also troubles him considerably.—Argos Reflector. One of our exchanges tells the story of a peddler who canvassed a certain town selling a stone coffee pot. The wife of a hardware man bought one. Wh^n her husband came home to din- ! ner she told what a nice coffee pot she [ had bought. Hubby looked at it for a full minute and then asked: “How much did you pay for it? She told him. “Y eli,” said he, “you area bright <n •, you are. I have had that very ’ article on sale in my store for more । than g year and you could have got it I there for half the sum you paid the i peddler.” “You have?” said the wife, I “didn t know it; why in the name of sense didn’t you advertise it? You're

the bright one.” yn-Tin I"HT -1111 — —M A. P. Ryan, of Rolling Prairie, La- : Porte county, has fallen, a.. VAcUm tot Lire w nf7»rn. terday,” says the New York Sun of I recent date, a sun-bun.'*d farmer, a ; typical Indiana granger, called at the • office of Inspector Byrans. Ryan fondled the delusion of riches secured i through the medium of green goods. He left his home at Rolling Prairie, Indiana, and came to New York equipped with a satchel in which to deposit the golden shekels. He will go home a sadder but a wiser man. ! Ryan was met at the appointed time! and place, and his lack of shreadness I and an abundance of gullibility made' him an easy victim.” A bold attempt at daylight robbery ! was made at the normal school office | at Valparaiso, Saturday afternoon. Two masked men were trying to break open the safe when the secretary, Miss Kate Carbery, entered. One of the robbers poked a pistol into her lace. She knocked it out of his hand and ran. The thieves skipped ami were! i pursued by a number of the students. About a mile from the city the robbers and pursuers were met by Nathan Howe, who opened fire on the fellows. i One droped dead and the other one fell wounded. When their masks were removed they proved to be students in the school. They are brothers

named Robinson, from Cincinnati. - Howe was donated SI,OOO. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review i of Trade says: Improvement has ex- I i tended from the banks to the mills. | । The condition of great industries has । distinctly mended, though still seriousily depressed. More important by far ! than any rise in stocks is the fact that j i more works have resumed during the ! - ■ last week than have stopped operation, .I so that the producing force of the : country after months of constant de-

cline has begun to increase. Dispatches mention twenty-eight textile and thirty metal works which have resumed, some only with part force, i while twenty-five textile and I i nine iron works have stopped. It is i expected that most of the Fall River , mills will start soon, the hands assent- ' ing to reduced wages. The money ■ market is more healthy, the 'premium on currency has almost vanished, the ! i embarrassments in domestic exchanges have well-nigh disappeared, and while j : little money is yet available for com- ' mercial or industrial loans there is j some relief in that respect also.

The following dispatch was sent from Ligonier on Sept. 27: “What promises to be an important clew in the Kessler train robbery was followed by the detectives until' two arrests were made at Kendallville yesterday. Eva Flint, a dining-room girl at the Kelly house, Kendallville, has been under surveillance for some time because of a stray hint dropped to anothl er domestic. Sunday she was out all day with a detective, and it is said she gave tlie whole snap away, implicating John , Connors, a well-known railroad foreman. who was arrested at Butler as soon as the officers could locate him. He is said to be the leader of the gang, which was made up of others in . this part of the state, all of whom lire ; now being watched. There has been an unusual activity ■ ' upon the part of the railroad officials I and detectives for the past forty hours ( ami r aiding developments are expected.”

From o,q. 1 to y will average warmer than usual; from 10th to 20th cooler than usual, ami from 21st to 31st warm j er than usual. State Crop Report. Ihe temperature was excessively warm until Saturday, when it became cool both day and night. Abundant rains fell at the beginning of the week nearly everywhere; it came too late to do good to corn, but pasturage meadows and other vegetation were benefitled by it and are improving; the soil, being wetted several inches deep, was in good condition ami plowing and sowing wheat were vigorously prosecuted. Much corn is cut and in shock and that ' which is still standing can only be hurt 1 by a very severe frost within a few days, most being beyond all danger; grasshoppers and crickets are very numerous.
