Franklin Jeffersonian: More men in Indi-
ana have been driven to bankruptcy and
financial ruin by gambling in Chicago wheat
margins than from any other cause. A man
stands better show of making money at a
game of cards than he does of making money
off of the Chicago margin gamblers, for they
have things all their own way, and if they
give man a little bite it is only to draw
him in deeper and get all he has got. Let
men of sense take warning by the fate of
Others. We do not desire to be personal in
our remarks, and will, therefore, not men,
ton the names of unfortunates who thought
to get rich in a few short weeks by speculat-
ing in Chicago margins, but fell over the
financial Niagara falls.
The following is from the franklin Jeffer-
sOnian: walter s. Johnston, receiver of
the First National bank of Franklin, is push

gamblers, or margin sellers, commenced suit
against the bank for $40, 900, and in turn Mr..
Johnston has sued them for $50, 900, a part
of the money they got out of the bank
through the operations of r. I. Taylor, and
we understand that said. margin
sellers are terribly worked up about it,
1t now turns out that the money, some
81, 500, belonging TO Mrs. |. N. Clark. was not
loaned the bank through Taylor but went
into the hands of Taylor & Taylor insur-
ance brokers. This fact being established,
e. w. Taylor has to foot up the payment in
stead of the bank. Mr.. Johnson, the re-
ceiver Of the bank, has been in Washington
since the first of the month. r I. Taylor
the defaulting cashier, still makes his home
in the asylum, but is thought to be improv-
ing mentally as well as physically"
The franklin Jeffersonian publishes the
| following interesting love story: We no.
| ticed in a previous issue of our paper that
W. A Coffelt, of Franklin, and Miss Eta
MONTE, of st. Paul, were to be married on
the 18th inst. Ample preparations had been
made by both parties to the marriage con-
tract for grand wedding, and on last Thurs
| day the expectant groom was just ready,
| with some friends and an accompanying
minister, TO start to St. Paul. when, 10 and
| behold a dispatch was received from the
prospective bride notifying him that she had
changed her mind, and did not propose to
marry. This was, certainly. rather dlscour-
/ aging news, and was likely to hatten almost
| any one out placed in like shoes.
But Mr.. Coffelt was determined to go and
| see what was the matter. and so took the
| minister, Elder Frazier, with him. They
arrived in St. Paul in due time, and pro-
ceeded at once to ascertain the status of
things by going TO the residence of a sister
of Miss Months where the wedding was to
| take place. Ii was soon learned that Miss
/ Monf1 had mn nj tho die oh he roalf INT
| her sister had done so, and il was also ascer-
tanned that this same sister had been bend
ing all her energies to break up the match,
and was determined to do so, having per-
| suaded Eta to believe that she was too
young to marry any way, and that she could
