Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1875-01-07

The Legislature of this State meets at
Indianapolis to-day. The number of ap-
plicants for office, by Democrats, is said
to be unprecedented.
We copy the following from the cor
respondence of the Chicago Daily TIT
6une-
INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Jan. 1.-THE mem
bers of the Legislature have mostly ar
rived, and the contest for the United
States Senator is growing red-hot. The
Democrats themselves are little dubious
OF their control of the Legislature after all.
At least the Senate is an unknown quantity
and speculation is drifting mostly ia that
direction. The Republicans are talking
quietly of hope IF gaming control of the
Senate, and possibly of defeating any
pronounced Democrat for Senator. Be-
tween Mcdonald and Voorhees,, the tide
to-day has set in favor Of the former
His friends are very confident, claiming
over forty votes sure for him. Forty
will nominate. They are inclined to push
the caucus, naming Monday of next week,
or Tuesday night, at the fartherest. Voor.
hees would like 1t postponed till Thursday
which indicates weakness. Mcdonald
has a strong organization here, and they
are working shrewdly and increasingly
tor him. Ill-defined rumors OF money be-
ing used cropped out to day. The eau
cuses for officers will be had tomorrow
night. There will lie no trouble In the
House. Turpie will be Speaker, and
Holmes, of Jackson, Clerk. What will
be done with the Senate is the connn-
drum. There are not a few struggling
with the belief that third mac will car
ny the prize, for the fight between Vor-
bess and Med Donald is desperate one.

two young men, living in Olive Town

the residence Of a Polander, situated In

part of the County. and with clubs beat
and killed a Polander, named CihansEi

them of 5000, which Cihanski was sup
posed to have in belt on his person.
After they had killed their victims, they
they dragged them to the center of The
room, and placed combustible materials
on and about them, and set fire Tn the

very few that he was to be sentenced this
morning, consequently the Court room
was rather bare of spectators.
Hickman preceded the Sheriff into the
Courtroom, walking with quick elastic
tread, and passing inside the bar. took his
seat on q chair at the corner of one of the
tables. He was dressed the same as du-

After the routine business of the Court

asked Hickman if he had any thing to say.
Hickman uncrossed his legs, stepped
briskly from his chair. and ejecting a
moufhfnl of tobacco juice into one of the
spittoons, answered:
Nothing at ali. It's all right"
You viii then be taken by the Sheriff
to the penitentiary at Michigan City, there

Republican Convention.

At o'clock P. NJ, on Saturday, May
29th, several of the citizens of the coun-
ty met at the Court House for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the State
Convention. DR.. A. B. Monahan was
called to the chair, and G. A. Atkinson
appointed secretary: After a brief state
ment of the object of the meeting by the
chair, the convention appointed a COM
mittee of five to suggest names of dele
gates. The committee consisted of the
following persons: Joseph Rule, Jacob
A. Sell, Capt. VIM. ]. Evans, D. Mackley
and johnson White. While the mem
bers of this committee were out, Lot
Davies, c. c. James, c. II. Willis, R. H
Jones and W. RI. Horton, were appointed
to suggest the time for holding the
county convention. During the deliber-
ations of the committees, the chairman
made an appropriate and excellent
speech. The committee on delegates re-
ported as follows: II. C. Miller, Lot Da-
vies, Joseph H. Wilson. William Vaughn
and Thomas T. Jones. As alternates-
John D. Davis, Eben Jones, J. D. Mitch
ell, Mark Sternberger and T. j. Harri-
son. The report was received and the
above named persons we're appointed
delegates. The following is the report
of the committee on time of holding
county convention: Saturday, 18th day
of July. at 10 o'clock A. NJ, and Friday
10th day of July, from 2 until P. NJ,
for holding the primary conventions in
the different townships. The report was
received and adopted. At this. time
rambling discussion came off in regard
tn the availability of candidates for Gov
ernor. The sentiment of the convention
was, undoubtedly, in favor of Wade or
Hayes. Judge Taft was in the minority
The feeling against Judge Taft, whether
just or unjust, we shall not say, is very
strong. We feel confident in saying that
our county would give good majority
for either Wade or Hayes, if nominated
by the State convention.

Hale, Druggist, of Jackson, is compounding
manufacturing and adulterating his liquors
and putting them upon the public for pure

Fellow citizens, / do not wish to advocate the

munity would approve, but 1 would say that

of selling to the drinking class of community a
low, rectified, adulterated poisonous drugged
whisky, such as is being sold daily and hourly.
We have victims falling around us at intervals,
which is proof of what assert.

ing is this The fraudulent Misrepresentation
holds forth the idea that am defraud ing the
people and the Government. This is calculated
to cripple my progress in business. The small
amount it effects me On the liquor question does
not disturb me, but it has tendency to effect
my legitimate business. 1t would naturally be
supposed that if was practlcing that kind of a
fraud on community, that l would be just as
ready to practice it in my legitimate business.
Now 1 would once more respectfully call the
particular attention of nay opposers, who have

An Inva1uab1e Travelling Companion.


Change-of climate, water or diet is apt to in
duce harrassing and often dangerous diseases.
The three changes combined fatal to'thou-
sands of emigrants every year. Is it not, then,
of the last importance to know that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are an absolute preventive of
the hurtful consequences arising from these
causes? Travellers, voyagers, and emigrants to
new countries cannot be too often reminded of
the fact that this agreeable vegetable tonic is
the most reliable safeguard against disorders to
which they are far more liable than the habit
ual den1Zens of healthy regions. The primal
effect of the unwholesome atmosphere which
produces what are called malarious fevers is
to depress and debilitate the system. The body
then becomes an easy prey to the malignant
principle in the air. 1t is manifest, therefore,
that the Surest way to avoid all epidemic and
endemic maladieS of an intermittent type, is to
counteract the weakening tendencies of mias-
ma by artificial invigoration. That Hostetter's
Stomach BItters is the surest resuscitant of
tagging vigor, is fact which is best appreciated
wherever influences inimical to health exist.
But it is not alone against malaria that they
protect the system. They tougher it as to
enable it to endure with impunity extremes of
heat and cold to which travellers are often sub
jected, and they neutraliZe those elements in
unaccustomed water or diet which would 9TH
erw1se beget disorders of the stomach and bow
els. The bracl<ish water with which voyagers
by sea often compelled to quench their
thirst, is apt to provoke dysentery and other
serious complaints, but when the Bitters are
mixed with it, it becomes harmless. Truly this
great protective invigorant is an Invaluable
travelling companion. june3-Im
