Best Medical Work for Home Usu Brer Pratel.

Gives the Allopathic, Homeopathic and Eclectic treatments—all three—for each and every disease and ailment.

Ha£ clasiiifk-d ''Table of Symptoms," by which any ordinarily intelligent person can determine as well as a physician what disease a patitnt is suffering from »r threatened with.

This is a feature of the book worthy of special attention—a feature peculiar to this book. Any good medical work will tell you what to do, if you know what the disease is, but the difficulty is, you cannot tell from the book what it is. To find out, you are obliged to send for a physician! The books are written with this view written generally in the interest of the profession. With "Our Family Physician," you can tell, yourself, what the matter is,just as unerringly as a doctor could. In this respect the book differs from all others nd even if you have others, you need this book also.

It is a book that, after using six montha, no parent would pari with for $50.

It will save from $5 to $50 every year ii a i/. We have had a special edition of this standard and weil known work, elegantly bound, 544 pages—the same style in which in book stores it sells for $3— printed for use by this paper as a premium. During the ooming four months we shall offer this valuable book, together with a year's subscription to the WEEKLY GAZETTE for $2.00.

In other words, we will sell you the book for two thirds its regular established price, and give you a years subscription to the WEEKLY GAZETTE for nothing!

We do this of course to build up the circulation of our paper, which, we are determined shall go regularly into 20,000 families before June 1, 1887.

If you want the best medical work there f°r home use and the best weekpaper published iu western Indiana, now is your opportunity! You can get both for $2.00.

If the book saves calling a doctor only one time, that one saving will amount to more than both book and paper cost ou!

You cannot afford to be without such a book! If the book is to be sent out of Terre Haute 20 cents extra must accompany the order to .prepay postage or express charges.

Old subscribers paying up all back accounts can get the book with their new subscription, paid in advance at $2. We propose to give give our qld friends the benefit of every good thing we have. We wish each one of them would lend this copy of the paper to a neighbor who is not a subscriber.

A Sewing Machine Agent Complain•^J^edOf By a Pretty Girl.

She Says He Kssed Her and He Says He Didn't.—The Trial.

Yesterday afternoon Bena Morgan, a pretty, plump brunette of- about eighteen, in company with her bro&er-in-law, Mr. Hendricks, who works at the car works,, called at Justice Slaughter's office and Mr. Hendricks made a statement to the Justice and prosecutor which resulted in two affidavits being filed against Frank C. Fleming, an agent of a Be wing macliine company of this city. The young lady concurred in the statement which was made in her behalf by Mr. Hendricks. It was in substance as follows:

Yesterday morning Mr. Fleming, who is a young man of prepossessiag apI pearance, called at Mr. Hendricks' resiI dence on south Eleventh street for a machine that had been left there. No one was there at the time but Miss Morgan, who is stopping there, Mrs. Henricks being her sister. Her story is that Mr. Fleming said she was a pretty girl and had a nice form and that he would like to kiss her. She said she guessed not, and then, as she says, he approached her, drew her on his lap and kissed and caressed her, trying to take further liberties with her.

At this juncture Mrs. Hendricks came in and that put a stop to further proceedings. Some words passed between them and Mr. Fleming left. When Mr. Hendricks came home they told him about it and the result was the visit to Justice Slaughter's office. One complaint was for assault and battery and the other was for provoke. Deputy Constable Wolfe served the warrant on Mr. Fleming at the sewing maohine office. He employed Foley & Foley to defend him. Mr. Fleming signed an affidavit alleging that he could not get a fair and impartial trial before Justice Slaughter and the court sent the assault and battery case to Justice Felsenthal and the provoke case to Justice Thomas, who has succeeded Justice Murphy. Both cases were set for trial at 2 p. M. today.

THE TRIAL THIS AFTERNOON1. The trial of the assault and battery charge came off this afternoon promptly at the hour set before Justice Felsenthal. The young lady was present, with her married sister and Mr.* Hendricks. She testified as follows: "The defendant came to our house yesterday to take the sewing machine away. I was at work dusting at the time. He came in the back way and went into the front room, where the maohine was. I wen tin after him. I was sitting down when he came up to me, laid bis hands on my shoulders and asked me if I was cold. He said he'd like to kiss me. I told him to go away and let me alone. He stepped back then and commenced to talk about how he'd like to kiss me and how pretty I was. He came over and sat in my lap and I shoved him off. I got up and was standing near the door when he started to read some poetry. He asked me if he could read it and I told him he could if he wanted to. He then read the poetry and pulled me down on his lap and kissed and carreesed me. He took hold of one of my limbs. He said he guessed I thought he was a nice man. 1 told him I didn't think a nice man would act in the manner he was doing and I finally got away from him. He left his name and address and asked me what my name was. I refused to tell him. I then opened the door and let him out. Just as he was going away my sister, who had been out in the neighborhood at a dressmaker's, came in. He took tho machine away with him."

She testified that she had only been here a month, coming from Mt. Vernon, III.

Chas. H. Hendricks, of 122 south Eleventh street, testified that when he heard of the matter he went to see Fleming to find out for certain what his full name was, as in to him. arrested. Fleming told him and as he was going away Fleming asked him what ho wanted it for. Witness then -told him just what the girl said about his actions ajb the house. To that Fleming replied: "I know I did wrong, but most anyone will act that way once in a. while." Fleming further said I'd better let the matter drop, as it would only bring my family into notority."

Frank C. Fleming, the defendant, denied specifically, generally and emphatically that he had even touched the young Jady while he was there. He denied her whole Btory except that he had called there and taken away the machine. He said be didn't kiss her, he didn't pull her on his lap, he didn't tell her she*was pretty and iae didn't read any poetry. He was there about ten minutes and he confined himself to packing up the machine. He went around to the back door because he knocked at the front door and no one same to open it. He denied that he admitted to Hendricks that he did wrong.

Lowry Will Contest.

Indianapolis -News—Hon. Robert Lowry, Congressman from the Eleventh district, is in the city today. He has in his possession a certified copy of the record in the Kosciusko county court, showing that Caotain James B. White, who beat him for Congress at the election last week, on the day before the election, took out his naturalization papers, having formally declared his intention to do this in July, 1858, but, as Mr. Lowry claims, having failed to do it, until last week. Judge Lowry said to a News reporter this morning that he would contest White's seat in Congress, and had no doubt that be would be seated. "He is clearly ineligible," he said, "for the constitution plainly provides that a member of the house of representatives must have been a citizen of the United States for at least seven years before he is elected. The precedent, or rather the authorities, are on my side. In the history of the United States Senate there fire two cases in which men, fairly elected, were not allowed to serve on account of ineligibility for the same reason. One was Albert Gallatin, from Pennsylvania, and the other was James Shields, of Illinois. The records show this to be a fact." "Why did Mr. White go to Kosciusko county to take out his papers, *bs he is a resident of Allen county?" asked the reporter. "I do not know," replied Judge Lowry, "unless it was because court was in session there. He made the application and was granted the papers on the day before the election."

STILL A MYSTERY.

That Adams Express Robbery Still Unsolved. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13.—Who the Adams express robbers are, and where they are are questions which none but the detectives working on the case can answer, and, although, they'state that both "Jim Cummings" and "Richard Roe" are known to them and will be arrested when the proper time arrives, the belief is expressed by many that they are a6 much in the dark as ever. The Republican says: "Late last night, the handwriting of the "Cummings" letters was carefully compared with that of a former employe of the Adams express company and the two were found to be very much like each other. The employe, whose name is not given, was seen at his house* early this morning, and while he recognized the similarity, stated that he knew nothing whatever of the robbery beyond what he had read in the papers. He is under surveillance, but could not be arrested on account of serious injuries, which he received in an accident, the nature of which is not stated, some two weeks ago."

The Globe-Damocrat states that both "Cummings" and Roe have been located and will be arrested as soon as it is discovered where the stolen money is concealed.

Snow.

WAMBTOWN, N. Y., NOV. 13—10 a. m. —There was a heavy snow fall last night and snow is still falling. It is now over eighteen inches deep. The trains are more than an hour late on all roads leading to the city.

ALBANY, N. Y.. NOV. 13—10 a. m.— There is over a £oot of snow on the ground here and it is still snowing.

GENEVA, N. Y., NOV. 13—10a. m.—The heaviest snow storm ever experienced this early in the season is now prevailing here. The snow is twenty inches deep on a level, and in drifts from three to six feet deep. Trains on all the roads centering here are two hours late.

BUFFALO, N. Y., NOV. 13.—Snow to the depth of 8% inches fell here last night. The highest velocity of the wind was 26 miles per hour. iNo disasters are reported at this end of the lake, but the water is the lowest in several years and a number of vessels are aground iu the harbor. Railroad traffic was somewhat'impeded this morning bv the snow falL

W. S. WILSON HANGED.

A Wife-Murderer Expiates His Crime on the Scaffold at Jonesboro Yesterday Afternoon. 'x:

JONESBORO, 111., Nov. 13.—William S. Wilson, the wife murderer, was hanged here at 1:40 yesterday afternoon.

The crime for which Wilson Buffered the extreme penalty of the law was a particularly cold-blooded one. On Jan. 7th, last, shortly after noon, becominginvolved in a quarrel with his wife, Margaret C. Wilson, he drew a revolver ahd ehot and almost instantly killed her. The murder occui red near Jonesboro.

In a short speech he said: "I have been a very unfortunate man, I say to any man who serves on a jury or who is a witness in a case of this kind, be sure what you are swearing to. I want to say to every married man and to every unmarried man who expects to be married, be true to your wives, and to the women, be true to your husbands." He then thanked everyone^ who had been kind to his children, and then stepped on the trap.

Just How the Whole Thing Was Done.—Sharp Trick On the Youngsters With the Poll

Iftj, $•?, nV) FrOin Saturday's Second Edition. Yesterday afternoon at the County Clerk's office in this city Henry Clay Dickerson, who was defeated at the polls by a majority of 21 for representative in tho Legislature from Vigo county when R. S. Robertson, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, had a majority in the oomty of 202, through his attorneys, Henry & Early, H. H. Boudinot and T. W. Harper, filed notice pf contest against Cornelius Meagher, his successful Democratic competitor. At the same time Decatur Downing, of Clinton, Vermillion county, who several days ago swore to an affidavit setting forth that he was an elector of Sullivan county, gave notice of contest in this county against John T. Beasley, who defeated him at the polls by a majority of 31 for joint representative from the counties of Vigo, Sullivan and Vermillion.

Mr. Dickerson alleges in his affidavit that Mr. Meagher is a justice of the peace and is therefore ineligible. Mr. Downing goes farther. He alleges that "the said John T. Beasley received in Vigo county 500 illegal votes" and tbat by reason of "such mistakes and irregularities" he (Downing) was elected, "thereby giving Beasley a majority in said district of 500 more votes than he was entitled to." The word "majority" in the last phrase is unfortunate, because Mr. Beasley's majority, as a matter of historical record, was but 31. The bill of particulars which is made apart of the complaint is a most brilliant production. It does not specify the particular precincts where such "illegal" votes and "gross irregularities and mistakes" took place, but says generally that they were cast in each voting precinct in the county. If that be true then the good people of Vigo county were very suddenly and generally seized with a desire to violate the election laws to the special detriment and injury of Decatur Downing, who, as the case standg, had a majority in the county of over 400 when the Republican state ticket had a majority of only 202. If there were 500 illegal votes cast in this county against Decatur Downing, then there must also have been alike number of illegal votes cast for all the other Democratic candidates, unless the unprincipled hordes of illegal voters of Vigo county sought out Mr. Decatur Downing as the special and particular candidate that they were after.

Mr. Decatur Downing has been treated badly by these five hundred rascally illegal voteres who insisted so unanimously on voting for Beasley. There must have been some prenoncerted action to vote for Beasley on the part of these scalawags or else some of them might have voted] for Downing. We repeat that Decatur hasn't been treated right by these ruffians who voted for Beasley. Every one of them ought to be tarr&d and feathered, for it is as cruel apiece of business as we ever heard of. Would any person but a scoundrelly illegal voter ever think of voting against such a pink of virtuous rp 11 Qr and inoffensive perfection as old Deca- VJiCO. JLvOWCii tX.

tur Downing? We will bet not. But where was the grand army of expert professional Reoublican challengers on election day? How did it ever happen that these sharp and slick Democrats ran in as many as five hundred "illegal" voters on old man Downing when Republican challengers were at all the poll windows to guard th9 interests of their party? These sharp and rascally Democrats did do up old Decatur in great shape, didn't they? And didn't they get ahead of the Republican chal lengers in great style also? Why, we'll bet again that these Democrats who had charge of the "gallant five hundred" just laughed in their sleeves at the way they were voting them. The Republican challengers were placed at the polls by the managers because they were supposed to know just who had the right to vote and so as to enable them to know better they were supplied with a fully made-up poll book.

And in spite of all this these slick' Democratic workers actually voted five hundred illegal voters on election dai in this county. We would like to ge the names of the Republican challengers at all the precincts just so the people could see what a nice, quiet and gullible set of youngsters they are. We will bet again that thia is the last time they will hold down the positions of "challengers" at the polls. Some live, active fellows will be found next time.

And another thing looks peculiar about this case. Decatur swears oil his oath that 500 illegal voters voted against him in Vigo county. Henry Olaiy Dickerson doesn't say anything about illegal votes being cast against him in his "affidavy." Now, it was right peculiar, wasn't it, to say the least, that these Democratic workers who voted the 500 illegal voters, after having been rascally and sly enough to vote .them against old man Downing and in favor of John Beasley, were not rascally and sly enough to get them to vote for Con. Meagher, Lamb, Allen, Stout, Wefeks, Cox, Armstrong and other unimportant candidates whose names happened to be on the same ticket with Beasley's? TLey were queer fellows, were thev not, these Democrats that had charge of this army of illegal voters?

No the 500 went up to the polls, in a body presumably, and voted against old man Downing and they didn't vote for or against "anybody else on either ticket Their,souls were consumed with the one idea of getting even with Decatur, and they did it and now they are all happy.

They are now over in Kentucky working at their usual vocations. They have grown fat since the election. No wonder Decatur weeps!

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1886.

Rockville Tribune: Just after the election you are hearing a great deal of confident talk about "this settling it for '88," and about Lamb being laid aside forever but you cau safely treat al such talk as wind. The result in '88 is just as uncertain as it ever was, and John E. Lamb is not the kind of a man who goes down to stay.

Contests This Year.

Limiting the remark to the political field it may be said that everybody is inquiring into everybody's pedigree. There nover was such an after-election investigation into records. Every defeated candidate for the legislature or for congress expects to be able to prove that his successful opponent was either elected by fraud or is wholly ineligible.
