Suit cn an Official Bond.

District Attorney Lamb has been instructed by the Department of Justice to bring suit on the official bond of John Cain, who many years ago was a well-known citizen of Indianapolis, to recover $61,184.50, with accrued interest since 1861, in all about $125,000, the first named sum being the amount of his indebtedness to the government, incurred when he was an Indian Agent.— [Indianapolis News.

Living Monuments.

On the tomb of Sir Christopher Wren, architect of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, is the inscription in Latin: "If you ask for his monument look around you." The thousands and hundreds of thousands of people whom we see today free from rheumatism and kindred diseases are living monuments to the power of St. Jacobs Oil,—The Conquerer of Pain.

Father of Diseases.

Constipation has been called* the father of diseases, therefore it should not be regarded as a trifling ailment It is quite as necessary to remove impure accumulations from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and no health can be expected where a costive habit of body prevails. Take a half-tablespoon-fnl of Simmons Liver Regulator after each meal, the bowels will be gently moved without griping or nausea as naturally as if no medicine had been taken. Regularity in taking the medi cine daily will soon effect a permanent cure.

Pierson Township Institutes The teachers of Pierson township met in institute at No. 4 on the 14th. The weather was somewhat cold, but the teachers were early and went to work in a way that showed that their interest in the art of teaching was very great Trustee Ferguson occupied his usual place as chairman and everything moved along nicely. The discussion was lively and to the point. When the noon hour arrived there was an excellent dinner spread, which all present enjoyed. Then the remainder of the program was dis posed of. The teachers decided to visit the Riley township institute on next Saturday.

JUDSON.

A Ghost Seen at Bellemore.

JUDSON, Ind., Nov. 17.—[GAZETTE special.]—The quiet citizens of Bellemore, a little town about four miles east of here, were thrown into a wild state of excitement one day last week by the announcement that a real live ghost was seen at the residence of Bill Michaels. The goblin was seen in broad day .light and was the personification of the daughter of Mr. Michaels, who died about five years ago. The affair created a great deal of excitement as it was told by Mr. Michaels wbose reputation for veracity is unquestioned.

Valparaiso.

sA'

VALPARAISO, Nov, 18.—[Editor GAZETTE]—I send a few notes from this place that my friends in Yigo may know that the former Prairie Creek correspondent of the GAZETTE has not passed into oblivion.

Like Yigo county, Porter has plenty of mud. Judging by the streets here the roads must be as bad as they were in Prairie Creek before the advent of gravel roads.

The county has just completed one of the finest eourt houses in the state. It lias been said by some to Je a more beautiful building than the Indianapolis court house and is full and complete in every particular. There is room for all the county offices, together with two court rooms, although there is only one court here at this time. However, the people of Valparaiso believe in building for the future, as is evidenced by all the structures which have been erected in the last four or five years. Among these is the county jail, almost equalling in size and strength the similar orna ment to our town. The Baptists and Presbyterians have both built elegant churches in that time, and the Catholics are now at work on one of the most magnificent church edifices in northern Indiana. It is 100 feet long by 70 wide, and towers to the enormous height of 173 feet.

After experiencing several disastrous fires the town has decided that it is cheaper to have water works and has accordingly made arrangements to that effect. About 15 miles of main will be laid in the city and to Flint Lake, three miles north, where the engines will be located to force the water to the city,

Mr. Sapell, an eminent worker in the causa of eduoation, a graduate of Oxford, England, and who has visited a majority of the higher schools in this country, France, Germany and England and who is now in this oountry gather ing statistics of education, lectured at the Normal Wednesday on the subject: "The School of England." About 1,200 students who heard him unite in declaring the lecture to have been the best one of the season.

The second term of the year opened last Tuesday with an increased attendance over the preceding term. There are supposed to be about eighteen hundred here. This large assembly crowds the present buildings to such an extent that plans have been made for the erection of new and considerably larger buildings. However, Joliet, 111., is trying to obtain the prize and has offered a bonus of $50,000 to have the school moved there. Tour correspondent is the only representative of Yigo.

The writer is pleased to know that Supt. Curry is meeting with success ana that the schools of Yigo are all in prosperous condition.

With best wishes to the GAZETTE and all its readers, I remain A CRANK.

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON

Pierson's Teachers and Trustee to Visit the Riley Institute. PIERSON TOWNSHIP, Yigo Co. Ind., Nov. 15,1885.—[A. A. Gordon, Esq.]— We are coming to your institute next Saturday 300,000 strong. All my teachers and myself will be there. Notify the other trustees to meet us. Have organ and program, and most of all a big dinner of pork and beans. Yours, J. F. Ferguson.

P. S. "Windy Bill,' and H. Z. D. are

REPLY.

Mr. J. F. Ferguson:—'Tis well we sympathize with any one whom the "cut worm" has stripped of all means of living. I am only surprised that you have not called for "pork and beams" at a much earlier date. We have an abundance, and of that which has not been stinted by the ravages of the "cutworm." Come and satisfy your famished stomachs,by feasting of our abundance, and improve your ignorant minds by commingling with the wise and informed. vVe bid you a hearty welcome.—Respectfully A. A. Gordon.

[GAZETTE special:]—Madame Rumor says that Burr Hendrickson is about trading for Linton's interest in the canal but it is not know what he is to give him for it. Horse trading appears to be a dull business here of late.-

The corn crop is not going to be as heavy as the farmers supposed it would be a few weeks ago. It appears rather on the chaffy order and does not weigh out well, —There will be a large surplus of corn in this township and if the farmers can get a fair price for it, they can come out smiling. The other day Justice Chapman started Mr. Sam Miller and Miss Louise Myres out upon the voyage of life together. We wish them success. Uncle John says that is the last time that the boys can play that trick on him. Alf. Heady has taken a wife unto himself' Success to you Alf. Wm. H. H. Denton thinks the judges at the township fair did not serve him right.

loaded with No. 5 shot. The gun is still there. I do not know how the deceased was killed. I did not shoot him that I know of. I live about a mile south of Pimento. I went down to Shelburn yesterday (Saturday.) I came home in the evening. I got off the train at Farmersburg. I went right to Grandma Weeks'. I could not say what time I arrived there. It was in the fore part of the night I was not at home at all last night Grandma Weeks lives about one-fourth of a mile from my house. Wesley Carpenter has been boarding with me for about two months. I have known him for about three years. I have no children and have been married about four years.

I NEVER HAD ANT GRUDGE

against the deceased. I was at Grandma Weeks' when I was arrested. I took my gun to Lee's to protect myself against Hoopingarner, who had threatened me after I had the fight with him in the cornfield. I was not nearer home Saturday night than Grandma Weeks' before I was arrested. There is a double barreled gun at my house, the property of the deceased. It was loaded with No. 5 shot The last time I

He helped me off from having trouble with Hoopingarner, who had threatened my life Tuesday or Wednesday. I have seen Theo. Hoopingarner since then, but I have never spoken to him. He passed my house, right in front, with a gun on his shoulder, when he went hunting. He came after water the same day, after we had the racket in the cornfield.

Harmon subscribes his name to his testimony in a fairly good hand. THE CORONER'S VERDICT.

The Coroner returned a verdict today that John Wesley Carpenter came to nis death from the result of a gun shot wound received "from the discharge of a gun in the hands of George F. Harmon, the said gun being intentionally and maliciously discharged and without provocation by the said George F. Harmon." In such cases as this some Coroners content themselves with stating that the "deceased came to his death from a gun shot wound at the hands of so-and-so," but in this case Mr. Hornman has properly gone farther, and he could have made it stronger, as the case stands, from the peculiar conditions surrounding it, without parallel in the annals of crime in Yigo county.

THE DECEASED

has no parents living. His step-father is alive. He has borne a good reputation. He was 5 feet 6 inches in staturejandjhad dark hair and eyes and dark complexion The murderer has two brothers, both residents of this city. One is Tom and the other Milt. They are oommon day laborers and live in the lower part of town. The killing created great excitement out in Linton township and yesterday the scene of the crime was visited by farmers, their wives and their daughters for miles around. The feeling was very bitter against the murderer, who was noted among them all for his quarrelsome disposition.

THE MOTIVE

of the crime does not appear .plain even to a person who has taken care to weigh all the circumstances of the case in the light of the evidence produced. If the motive was jealousy, or the result of a sudden discovery that his wife and Carpenter were maintaining improper relations, the prisoner disproves that theory himself by saying, as he does now, that Carpenter was his best friend and he believed his wife had always been pure and faithful to him. If he killed Carpenter during a drunken frenzy in the belief that be was Hoopingarner, he also disposes of that theory himself, as he denies knowing anything about the murder at all or being at or near the house that night. Harmon's testimony before the Coroner is amass of inconsistencies and self-contradictions

L-'j#

THAT WILL WEIGH HEAVILY

against the prisoner. It will be noticed that he even denies having stopped at Wesley Lee's for the gun. He* also mixes up the days, but then that is not to be wondered at It is likely Harmon entered the house just in time to catch the words of Carpenter about notifying the Hoopingarners that Harmon was coming with his brothers, and that his intense hatred of the Hoopingarners and the remembrance that Carpenter was the cause of the tronble, caused a sudden mad frenzy to take possession of him, and he murdered the boy he now,

WITH HOLLOW MOCKERY,

calls his best friend. But, even if that is the case, why did he want to kill his wife? The murder was cruel, heartless, unprovoked and barbarous, without the shadow of a provocation and without any pretense or excuse from the prisoner, save that the murderer's memory fails to remind him of such a trifling occurrence as the taking of a life. Oh, but then there is the insane dodge! Let us see if there are enough gumps in this county to prevent the hanging of this murderer.

The murderer Harmon's memory is no better today than it was yesterday or the day before. He still profesess to rest in blissful ignorance of his bloody work of Saturday night and he keeps up the cruel joke that he was no nearer his home that night than a quarter of a mile. He occupies the same apartments at the county jail that Henning did, but he is nothing like the talkative slayer of the Rockville woman. Harmon talks very litttle to visitors and reluctantly is brought to say anything about the crime.

He has employed T. W. Harper and T. A. Foley and they will try to make out that he is insane. Whenever a man commits a cold-blooded murder, for which not the shadow of a justification exists, and no other plea suggests itself to the professional skill of lawyers, this well-worn dodge is relied upon to save a red-handed murderer from the gallows. One of the points that will be used by the defense is that insanity is

S '4

jr J__ 'V t, 1"

hereditary in the Harmon family, and they will point to the fact that one of bis sisters was at one time taken to the state insane asylum. This woman is now an inmate of Mollie Lear's establishment on Gallatin street, from which can be seen the turn her insanity has taken. She went insane on morphine, opium and other drugs oommon to fast women. Another sister is in the same line of business and has a room down on Fourth street across from the City Hall. The sister that is now at Lear's once tried to commit suicide.

Mrs. Harmon said yesterday if her husband was insane she never knew it She made that statement to one of the lawyers for the defense. Her oonduct all the way through is that of a woman who desires to tell ail the truth and nothing but the truth.

The grand jury will meet next Monday ana with the indictment they will return will begin the law's effort to mete out to the prisoner the punishment he deserves.

Harmon still insists that his gun is at Lee's that* he never called for it One of his sisters, it will be remembered, tried to blackmail a business man a year or so ago and some time before that another tried the same dodge on a professional man.
