A buxom young damsel of eighteen
summers, named Ella Shearer, residing
two and one-half miles east of Hobart,
thought to end her miserable existence on
Thursday last, by jumping into Deep
River Lake. but was saved in time by the
appearance OF her parents who rescued
her from watery grave. 1t seems that
the young lady, for few weeks past, had
been attending camp meeting, and there
became acquainted with worthless young
fellow. He heing rather smooth talker
acquaintance soon ripened into love, and
the two planned an elopement for Wed
nesday evening last The parents of the
young lady objected to any matrimonial
alliance with this fellow, and learning Of
their intentions, frustrated their schemes
by locking up the girl, and closely guard
ing her. On Thursday morning early she
repaired to the lake, BID silent farewell
to her God and maker, and committed
herself to the rolling waves. After her

summoned, and after hours of hard work
brought to consciousness again. Better
reconsider the matter, Miss Ella; there are
many worthy young men in the world,

The case of Michael Mccormick
against the l.. s. & NJ. $. Railroad, In
which the plaintiff recovered $4,000, at a
jury trial during the late term of court,
has attracted considerable OF attention
from the fact that it involves some ques
tons that have previous to this never
been In the courts Of this county. Nc
Cormick was brakeman, and had his foot
smashed by getting it fast in frog, in the
Fall of 1876. He claims that the railroad
company was in fault using frogs which
were rot provided with wooden block
projections, and which he claims were
known and used at certain points on the
road, and if used in all cases would have
made the injury impossible. The Com
pany denies that the blocks are a pro-
lection. AS nearly all the railroads use
the same kind offrogs, they are all more
or less interested in the question as TO
whether these frogs are needlsssly
dangerous or not. The case was managed
by 5. l.. Trip, assisted by Judge Far
rand, for the plaintiff, and by Judge Niles,
assisted by Hon. t. 5. Stanfield. for the
Company. 1t lasted about four days with
the result as above given. The case will
be appealed and it is not improbable that
it will finally reach the highest court

Dispatches from Constantinople,
dated March 3, announce that the
treaty Of peace between Russia and
Turkey has been signed. Russia
abandons her claim on Egyptian and
Bulgarian tributes, and to the sur
render Of any part Of the Turkish
fleet. There is great rejoicing in st.
Petersburg over the news. 1t does
not now seem probable that England
will be able to offer any opposition to
Russia's plans. Austria is now ap-
parently reconcilsd to Russia, and the
prospects are good for final settle
ment Of the eastern question by
peaceable discussion in the confer
ence.

The Chicago Post, takes Jud

The Chicago Post, takes Judge
Whitaker, of Louisiana, to task for
sentencing Gen. Anderson to two
years in the penitentiary, while he,
Judge Whitaker) who, stole a half
million dollars. Is suffered to go I'M
punished. The Post certainly forgets
that the State of Louisiana is now
under Democratic rule, and that it
has never been considered a crime
by the Democracy, for Democrat to
steal money that belongs to the
public. Let the Chicago Post search
the records and find single instance
where a Democrat has been pun
ished by his own party for stealing
public funds, before it expresses
establishment at Whitaker's action.
The Republican party stands almost
alone, as the party that has tried to
deal out even handed justice to men,
bers Of its own political household.

The President returned the silver
bill to the House Thursday with his
objections. The House Immediately
passed the bill over his veto, by a
vote of 1876 yeas to 70 nays, and the
Senate did the same thing by a vote
OF 46 to 10. Within two hours after
the reception Of the message by the
House, it had been read and the vote
taken in both Houses. This result,
though not so soon, was expected by
by everybody. The people had
thoroughly canvassed the matter and
determined that it should become a
law. Willie the reconciliation of
silver of itself will affect the cur
rency but slightly, we believe that
the 1921 grains silver dollar will
soon be worth as much as a gold
dollar everywhere, and if it is settled
that we are to have no further con-
traction, we can practically resume
specie payments at any time.

The public debt has been reduce,

The public debt has been reduced
over two and quarter million of
dollars during the month of February
and the coin balance in the treas
ury increased nearly three and one
half millions in the same time. Du-
ring the last eight months the re-
ceipts have fallen off nearly five
millions. but expenses have been
curtailed, so as to show a balance of
nearly ten millions on the credit side.
On this showing a Republican ad-
ministration can afford to go before
the country.

The Laporte Argus (Dem.) COM
menting On the platform adopted by
the Democracy OF Indiana says. The
proposition for money enough to
meet the demands of trade" is moth
ing IL not the merest demmagoguery
it is clap-trap, unworthy OF any
great party, for 1t means something
or nothing, and can be interpreted
according to will. We don't like
such stuff. The declaration that all
fees and salaries should be reduced
is nonsense. 1t is well known that a
majority Of officers get too high sal
aries, but no man in his right mind
can claim that all do.

Death of Hon. Il. +. Wade

Hon. b. F. Wade died at his home
in Jefferson, Ohio, on Saturday NOR
ming.
He was born in Springfield, Mass,
Oct, 81, 1900 and was consequently
nearly eventy-eight years old at the
time OF his death. Born and reared
in the humber walks of life he was
eminently self made man.
Coming to Ohio in early manhood,
hesoon became prominent in politics
and after filing the positions OF
Judge and member of the Ohio State
Senate, he was in 1851, elected to the
United States Senate. Since then
his career is well known, and no man
in the nation perhaps. did more than
bluff old Ben Wade to advance the
rights Of man.
He was man OF the people, and
was always ready to receive and re-
turn the blows aimed at the people
who stood behind him. His eighteen
years in the Senate cover q period
the most momertous in the history
of the nation, and the records Of
that time show that no man acquit-
ted himself more nobly than he.
Bold unhesitating, honest, steady,
uncompromising, Industrious. deter
mined Ben Wade is dead! But
around his grave friends and foes
will meet to pay tribute to the man
whose sincerity none ever doubted.
When the right is assaulted may ii
ever have such noble champions as
last Saturday, he who passed from
earth away.

District No. IL has bad luck with it's

out last week. They ought to. have
a tyrant equal to Nero sent in to SUBJ
due that set of hoodlums. The
young men down by the Aumish
church, who cannot afford to pay
five cents to go in, had better stay at
home, and not go there and throw
stones against the door, or they
might be made to pay a great deal
larger sum. :. We were up to see the
new editors last Saturday, and found
them courteous and pleasant. They
showed us some of their job work and
it was executed in artistic style. We

HARD WoKR-It is the honest,
"plodding" workmen who rise to ele-
waited positions in the world. Work
is, as a rule, at the foundation Of all
true success. Brilliant parts, fine ed
ucation and powerful friends are not
to be despised, but they can not sup
ply the place OF personal toll and pa
tient. pains taking industry. Presi-
dent Lincoln literally worked his way
up from a common laborer TO the
highest position in the gift Of the Re-
public. Henry Wilson, at twenty
one, carried his wardrobe and library
on his back wherever he went in pur-
suit Of work. Commodore Wander
bilt laid the foundation of his vast
fortune in the saving and habits OF
industry acquired in his younger
days in rowing ferry boat. Charles
Dickens owed his success not more
to his genius than to hard, systematic
labor.

citizens Of each township will be
called upon to elect a full set Of
township officers for the coming
year. including trustees. At the
meetings for the nomination of town
officers.or on election day the Republi-
cans of every township should perfect
their organizations for the Campaign
for State and County officers. The
election next October will be an i'm
portant one. and Republicans should
get together, discuss the situation,
appoint their committees, and organ
lie for action. Let the Republicans
of every township in Marshall Coun-
ty, see to it that the best men are
sent as delegates to nominating con-
ventions; thus We shall have a ticket
composed of good men and success
will be assured, whenever there is q
possibility of success.

The New Horseshoe.

The English agricultural, and other
press are in raptures over the Yates
horseshoe constructed Of cow hide,
compressed into a steel mold, and
then subjected to chemical prepara-
ton. 1t is claimed for it that it lasts
longer and weighs only one-fourth as
much as the common iron shoe; that
it will never cause the hoof to split.
nor have the least injurious influence
on the foot. 1t requires no calks;
even on asphalt the horse never slips.
The shoe is so elastic that the horses
step is lighter and surer. 1t adheres
so closely to the foot that neither
dust nor water can penetrate be-
tween the shoe and hoof. If all that
is claimed for it be true, the new hide
shoe will prove a great improvement
upon the old. The idea, however, is
by no means a new one. At the time
OF the Roman and Carthagenian war,it
was frequent practice among caval-
ny officers to bind the feet of their
horses with raw cow-hide to protect
them from injury during an engage
ment. The inventor of the new shoe,
Mr.. Yates, OF Manchester. England, is
nevertheless entitled % every consid-
GRAFTON for utilizing, in practical
form, raw-hide as a substitute for
heavy iron shoes.-TurJ, Field and

The Charleston Journal of Com
nerce, speaking Of the old Democrat
ic doctrine Of States rights, says:
This issue has been at the bottom of
all our politics for many years. 1t is
the main question to-day. In COM
parison with it, all others are of minor
and Insignificant Importance. We
had hoped that the wheels Of the
crushing Radical revolution would
have been checked and rolled back
by the election of 1876: but We were
jockeyed out of the results of that
victory for free government, and
must carry the struggle On into the
next election" This hint ought to
be sufficient to make all Republicans
duly careful as to the future.
