A sneak thief, ortliieves. did a thriving husiness in Marion township 1 st Saturday. The dwelling houses of Geo. Raines and Jabez Brown wore lioth entered i't the afternoon during the absence of the families. At Raines’, a hat, some tobacco and about fti.no in money, were taken. Mr. Brown suffered more severely. At his house si io in money, and jewelry and silverware of the value of $100, and a suit of clothes, were stolen. At night the home of Thos. Jackson was visited and Ids pants taken out through a window and carried away. In the pockets of his lost garment was sT.40. Noclue has been obtained to the burglars. THE POINTER IN ACTION. A ITuntHuiHu'H Story With the Love of h Dog Told Between Lines. On the first morning out we struck for a point of low timber that looked promising. The dogs passed in well iu advance of ns. Soon Ben took on that solemn air and slow tread that with him mean ‘‘get your gun.” Jeannette, less familiar with this sort of work, quickly slid to the frnnt and hesitated a second only. The scent was new, but the sense was native and inborn. She Straightened. I called “Steady!”—a superfluous noise, however. She was down, steady, fast and true, with patient Ben’s head well drawn forward at her Hank, her first grouse, well done. The doctor flushed, hut under such a cover his shot was not effective. On we go, two more flush wild; we separate and follow. Wilson and I go to the left, the doctor and George to the right, up through au old oak woods whose entire foundation was heavy broken rocks and fallen timber. Another fine point by Jeannette and the left barrel brings to eartli a handsome fellow. While reloading up go two more; but, alas, tile gun was open. Beu conies in and finds my bird, which Jeannette could not locate. A few yards farther and two more take towing; again the left does the work. My bird fails with a broken wing. We go to find. The doctor and Ben have left us. We must search alone. From rock to rock bounds Jeannette, seemingly coming no nearer to the hidden cripple. t?ho takes a wider cast down with the wind, swings and comes np. With head higli and every sense on the alert, on she comes, straight as au arrow, until confronted by a high flat rock, apparently too high for the leap; but, fearful of losing for au instant what those delicate nostrils contain, up she goes, lands on the edge, starts to cross, hesitates, stops; the hanging tongue is drawn in; with it one side of the upper lip. ylie gently raises that slender left paw, lowers that knowing head, straightens the bushy tail, and all is still. The only motion iu that dumb animal was the beating heart; the breathing even seemed hushed. For 200 yards iu any direction could be seen this small statue of mottled marble on its immense brownstone base in this old woods, where all was so still. It was a sight to gladden the heart of any true sportsman. To me it was beautiful Ten paces iu front of her, crouched at the foot of a tree, well hidden under a rock, we found my bird, a handsome cock, only wing tipped. The guide secured him, and we pushed on until tint noon hour, flushing some birds, but iu too heavy cover for effective shooting.—Forest and Stream.

i nu-riiMt tonal A rim ration. The real obstacle in the way of international arbitration is not so much a lack of efficacy in the method as the lack of a disposition to try it. The system of arbitration necessarily presupjsisis that nations desire an amicable adjustment of their differences. Such an adjustment may is* prevented either by a willful opposition to it or by the adoption of a style of controversy that will render argument impracticable. Against such obstacles it is difficult to contend, since their direct tendency and effivt is to firing about a collision before an arbitrator can intervene. It is obvious that arbitration can no more afford an absolute safeguard against such contingencies than can a system of municipal law absolutely prevent men from attempting to settle their differences by fighting in the street, if they desire thus to revert to primal conditions. Yet severe penalties, strictly enforced, may reduce such chances to a minimum, and it is conceivable that a scheme of international action might be devised so comprehensive as to render a resort to war exceedingly difficult and hazardous.—“The Possibilities of Permanent Arbitration” iu Century.

He was educated in .the city schools and learned the barber's trade with his father which business he lias followed industriously ever since he left school. He was elected to the office in which he will succeed himself in 1S94 and has filled it with much credit. The voters of the county can not do better than to keep him there. JAMES F. O'BRIEN, Was born in this city, Feb. 1, 1857, and is the son of the well known citizen,

JAMES F. O’BRIEN.

John O'Brien. At an early age James moved witli his parents to a farm near Hamrick station and there grew up to manhood. He took a common school course and then attended the academy at Ladoga aud completed his education at the State Normal school at Terre Haute. He then eng iged in teaching in the public schools 'and has been so engaged during a part of almost every year since. He has been five times elected County Surveyor of Putnam county and is filling that office at present. He is a memtier of the Indiana society of surveyors and engineers, has been twice elected Vice President of that organization and is now its Secretary. He has superior qualifications for the office he occupies and to which he asks re-election. JAMES EDWARD TALBOTT. Is a native of this county, was born in 1839, and is a son of the late Thomas

JAMES EDWARD TALBOTT.

Talbott, long an honored citizen, unswerving democrat and county officer of Putnam county. James was educated in the common schools of this city and served three months in the union army. At the age of twenty-two years he engaged in locomotive engineering. After an apprenticeship in the R. R. machine shops at New Albany he began as a fireman and three years later was promoted to engineer. He ran a locomotive twelve years when he was compelled by physical disability to resign his position. His career as a railroad man was honorable and suc-

near Cloverdale, Feb. 17, 1863. His father, who was a native ot Bourbon county, Ky., died when he was seven years ofage. His mother, still living, is an only sister of John H. Piercy of this city. He has but one brother, J. B. Burris, an only sister and a brother dying some years since. The subject of tiffs sketch received ids education in the public schools and by attending normal school and receiving a diploma from a commercial college. In 1885 he married Maggie Horn, daughter of the late Thomas Horn, and since that time has resided on his farm, of near a section of land, lying just south of Cloverdale.

MYSTERIES OF THE LOUVRE. Walls That Are Believed to Hide the Bones of Murdered Men. Every one who has “dune” the Louvre will n member the low pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored tiie treasures of Egypt. Beneath those lie yet more darkly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by a wide and handsome staircase, such as would lead one to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed iu the form of a cross, and without any sign whatever of door or window. A recent examination, however, of the solid stone walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry is mote recent than the rest of the stmeture in this, the oldest portion of the fortress palace. M Vaugueux, a well known critic, believes that many of the bodies of victims killed iu the revolution of 1830 were immured here, and that the government was afraid to reveal the fact when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de Juillet. On the other hand, M. Blondel, the architect of the building, and M. Normand, the secretary of the Society For Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterranean passages led to the oubjiettes, into which Catherine do’ Medici cast those who were unfortunate enough to incur her hate or fear. A judicious exploration would clear up the matter and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot’s original citadel. Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archirnlogical research, and it would be necessary to apjieal for funds to the generosity of the chamber.—London Chronicle.

How Fast I>o«*s Electricity Travel? The above question is frequently asked in every day conversations, but is seldom answered to the satisfaction of the querist. Wheatstone says that the speed of electricity from point to point along a proper conductor is practically instantaneous. Various attempts have been made to ascertain tie- exact number of miles which tin* current will travel in a given length of time. According to the most reliable estimates which such experimenters have made its spei*d is not less than 114,000 miles per second. The writer adds: “Such sjsssl is inconceivably great. The mind cannot contemplate it without staggering. ’’—St. Louis Republic.

TWO MEETINGS WITH MILES. One In Crtl., and the Other In Loh Angele*. “On" night in the ■ filce ( f the Hotel Rayiui ud in Pasadena, CaL,” said a 1 traveler. “1 met Central Nclsou A. Miles. 1 v. ;*s introd:’( "d to him by Ma- ' jor Ben C. ffnmiaii. Tim office was a 1 big apartment with a great fireplace i n one side (if .t.

The gi mini talked frei ]y and most interestingly, and to me it was a most enjoyable ever mg. 1 had always hud (lie heartiest admiration for General Milt.— L Imd been a soltiier myself— and 1 tin audit I should always remember that evening with gratification. "The next m. inii.g, w hile going ont of tin Hurt 1 Nadeau in L s Angeles, I met a gentleman who said ‘Gi od morning. ' 1 st pped and talked, but I could not possibly recall him. Presently lie said: “ ‘You don’t remember me.’ "I said I did not. “ ‘My r.iua * is Mil' s. ’ lie said. "Wt 11.

SUGAR MAKING IN CUBA. The Crude Method** That Were In I’»e Twenty Yearn Ago, Twenty years ago, in those times of slavery and high prices, but little attention was given to machinery or engineering. Planters wt re content to get what tonnage of cane they could from au acre of land. The cane was brought to the sugar house, where tiie luliorers slowly put it on the carrier, passing it to the mill, where it was rolled or ground between tlit* rolls of a three roller mill to extract the juice, getting an extraction of 55 per cent out of a possible 85 or 88 per cent t.f the whole weight in the cane. The cane was brought to the sugar house "train,” which was a set of four or five kettles set in brickwork, having a strong fire under the smallest or “strike” kettle. The flames passed under and around all the kettles, the uncunsumed gases escaping through a chimney. The combustion was so imperfect that at night flames could be seen many feet high, coming from the top of the chimney. The largest of these kettles received tiie raw juice, and there it was limed and skimmed as tin* impurities rose. It was then ladled to the next kettle in succession, each time being thickened in density and reduced in hulk by evaporation until it arrived at the “strike” kettle, where a skilled attendant knew tin* exact point at which to stop the t -e and ladle out the mass into tiie crystallizing pans, in which it was allowed to cool. In a few days it was firm enough to be taken out, placed iu hogsheads and allowed to drain in the storehouses, It >ing at least one-sixth indrii £ ng molasses. The hogsheads were then repacked and placed on carts and drawn many miles to the railroad for shipment to the merchants’ stores at the scaooast, where they were again allowed to drain, were repacked, reweighed and sold, thus piling up au expense account that made the profits look slim; but, as sugar was selling at a higli rate, these expenses could be borne.—A. W. Colwell in G'assier’s Magazine.
