OFFICE MIAMI County SENTINEL,
PERU, IND, May 10, 70.
Hon John U. Petit:
DEAR SIR What is your construc-
ton of the statute requiring legal notices
to be published in newspaper of general
circulation IN the county where the case
is pending? Can go to Chicago and
have paper printed there containing le-
gal advertisements of this city, township,
county or state, and claim legal publ
cation? Can 1 do this in part? Can
the Chicago Tribune, the Times, Inter
Ocean, Indianapolis Journal or Senti-
mel, having a general circulation in this
county, print in its columns a legal no.
tice having the eject intended by the
statute requiring the notice to be pub
lished in a newspaper of general circula-
ton in this county? Does the term
publish" carry with it the interpreta-
tion that the paper must, also, be ''print-
ed" in the county, or does it not?
Yours, respectfully,
SAMUEL f. WINTER.

Samuel +. Winter, ESD, Peru, Ind:
Ny DEAR SIR: l received yours some
three days ago, and ought, at once, to
have answered it; but am partially not
well; and always pretty busy.
The question you mention rs, to me, a
new one. But the logic of the law, by
the letter of 1T is very direct.
The language of the statutes is, to be
published successfully, in some newspa
per of general circulation, printed in The
county! It must first be printed! 1t
must be pFf8ted iF tie cOuntgi 1t must
be in q paper IF general Circulation. :
Having Jeen printed in the county in Il
newspaper of general circulation, it must
then be three iceeks successfully. 1t can't
be published NAt0 1t is printed. And a
notice to be good maSt be printed an tie
county 1citsre the H0tice operdtes.-2 G. &
H., G3, S3S.
This was the language ot the code of
1S4j, 1888, s ID and also of the code of
1888
None OF them contained provisions for
Chicago in-or-outsides.
By the letter of the law the printing
as l understand it, should be contained IN
a newspaper Of q general circulation,
printed az tee county. = :
Yours, truly, JOHN L. PETIT.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The vote of this county on Tuesday
last, by which the Republican ticket was
so handsomely elected, means that the
people have faith in the party and its Of
ficers, and that this faith is not to be de-
stroyed by campaign roorbacks, or the
falsehoods of political demagogues. 1t
does not mean that the Republican par
" Is not in favor of investigating cor
ruption aud bringing the guilty to JUS
tice. We know or no Republican in
this county who will not aid in every
way in his power all proper efforts to
unearth wrongdoing, no matter who is
hurt by investigation.
The charges of corruption were made
against the party and its ticket. No
specifications were made and no proof
offered. \ few demagogues, one of
whom, at least, is utterly without char
acter, expected that the Republicans of
the county were going to believe these
statements without proof.
In their votes the Republicans
said if there had been corruption in
the sale of the railroad stock or pur-
chase of bonds there was not, as yet, any
proof of 1t, and that if there was the Re-
publican party and ticket were not re-
sponsible for it, They believe if there
has been any fraud the parties who are
guilty should suffer, not innocent men,
The very fact that the charges against
the commissioners were so actively
brought into use by the leaders of the
opposition on the eve of the election
raised public suspicion that there was "a
colored individual in the woodpile, and
the reputation of the two gentlemen
who were using the bond and stock
slush so vigorously, as political trick
sters, caused all to see through the very
thin gauze that covered their motives. We
believe we represent the sentiment of the
Republicans Of this county when we de-
mand the fullest investigation of the
stock and bond matter. and full show
ing of where every cent of the money has
gone. with the end in view that the cor
runtion, If there has been any, which We
have now no evidence of, shall be placed
upon the right men. AS we said before
the Republicans do not believe any such
charges as were made in the late cam
paign can justly lie at the door of the
Republican party or the candidates up
on the ticket

The CONFERENCE.-The suspension
of work on the state house will have no
effect on the work on the government
building. The contract for the state
house was with VIM. Tweeddale s. Co.,
the "Co" consisting of Dan Horne. Dir.
Babcock and Mr.. Imslie, of Cottonwood.
Mr. Tweeddale is the only one. on the
face of the contract, interested in the
government building. Mr.. Babcock and
others are his bondsmen. Speculations
as to the work on the capitol are un-
profitable just at present. The state has
ample security and has retained per
centage of the engineers estimates. II
the engineer has made correct estimates,
the percentage kept back is probably
sufficient to secure the state, without re-
course TO the bondsmen or contractors.
The trouble at the state house is among
the contractors and has been brewing for
weeks. Steps will probably be taken
to go on with the work.-Common-
wealth.

THE FAsCINATIoN OF ROMANCE READ
IN0.-lt is said that the late Caleb Cush-
ing was eXtrayagantly fond of novel
reading, and left in his library large
number of French and Spanish works,
with which languages he was familiar.
1t may lie noted that novel reading has
been faYorite pastime with many emil
nent lawyers. Chief Justice Christian,
of the Irish court of appeals Zone of
the most able and tyranical of judges), is
reported to be much more attached to
his novels than to his wife and family,
and spends nearly all his leisure time in
porting over their pages. Judge Dewey,
of the Supreme court of this state some
years ago, also had great passion fof
fiction, and spent whole days of leisure
(which his great natural abilities and IA
cility in disposing of work easily gained
him) absorbed in the pages of some
favorite novelist. Doubtless this taste
for novel reading on the part of lawyers
and Judges grows out of the necessity
for mental recreation which the severe
and intense nature of their work pro-
duces, and no class of literature furnish
es this recreation so well as fiction

We learn from the Commonwealth
that work has been stopped on the state

ANECDOTE OF THACKERY-A writer
in a contemporary tells good anecdote
of Thackeray, who was always wei
come visitor at the house of Lady Ash
burton, who was somewhat free with
her tongue and in offering an opinion of
others. Something that the saucy host
ess said offended her guest, and he not
only declined her invitations but spoke
of her with dIscourteSy. Some months
afterwards, when his angry feelings had
died out, he received from Lady Ashbur-
ton card of invitation to dinner. He re-
turned it with pen-and-ink drawing on
its back representing himself kneeling
at her feet, with his HAIR all afiame from
the hot Goals she was vigorously pouring
on his head from an ornamental hraZier.
The humorous expression of contritiOn
was followed by complete reconcilia-
ton, and thenceforward the lady and
the artist continued a warm friendship.
