Notwithstanding we had 400, 900
acres of land in the county. In
1858, the taxable property had in
creased to So, O00, 900. The history
of the county since then is familiar to
you all. We have now a county sec
ond to none in the State. These
broad prairies, which in my recollec-
ton could not boast of a fence, but
abounded in grass and flies, and on
every knoll in the county could be
seen deer, are now taken up and
fenced, and beauty and industry go
hand in hand to make lovely your
homes and to bring wealth and conn
fort within the reach of all. A city,
in the center of your county, from
the village has grown, and its iron
arms are now reaching out in every
direction grasping the commerce of
the world. lis business is vast, and
its people equal to the emergency in

That Receivership Matter.

In Saturdays Journal appeared an article re-
gardiHg the appointment of receiver fer the
Indiana Banking Company, which, by some, has
been regarded as a slight reflection on Judge
Walker. No such intination was intended. nor
could an imputatien OF unfarness or uBjudicial
action be made regarding him in connection
with the receivership, for since the case came
before him he has shown every possible eonsid-
GRAFTON to all parties tpat was compatible with
the law and the dignity OF his position. In APP
pointing Mr.. Ritter he was not actuated by any
personal motives or desire to thwart any
scheme" but solely by the intention TO appoint
competent man for the place, and there is little
doubt that he has done this.
Mr.. Ritter is reported in a Sunday paper to
have said that he did not think the creditors of
the banking company would get fifty cents on
the dollar, He probably never made such a
statement for publication.

President Mitchell, of the State Board of Agri-
culture, is expected to arrive in the city to-day,

aerouaut. during The week of the state fair. II
the ascension is decided upon it will DO made
one of the principal features of the fair. 1t is

Mr. ridden All Right.

Interview with DR., Simmons.
in my opinion as a physician, thoroughly
conversaut with every detail of Mr. Tilden's
physical condition for the past ten years, the
ex-President is to-day stronger and better in
health than he was in 1876. He has entirely
recovered the use of his voice, and could
prevail upon him to carry cane or grasp
continually some light substance in the hand
OF the arm afflicted, | would guarantee to
cure him entirely within year of the trou-
blesome trembling which strikes strangers so
unravorably, but which is nothing more nor
less than PARALYSIS agitans, and is disagreeable
more in its technical name than in its effects
upon the system, as hundreds of instances
can be cited where persons afflicted with it
from early youth have lived to beyond four
score in the enjoyment of otherwise perfect
mental and physical health"
Such positive statement from so reliable
a source is certainly most noteworthy.

sHYsrERs AT THE POLICE COURT.
Judge Smell Insists on Enforcing His
Rule-A Colorcd Lawyer Fined.

The police court was yesterday again tile
scene of little domestic unpleasantnes<,'
Judge Smell has been determined that ali
business transacted in that court shall be free
even froutsthe suspicion of anything unsavory
lie has been vigorous in hisattempts to bresl,
up the practice of having prisoners approached
by agents of lawyers and their patronage
solicited. Those 'drummers up of business
had begun to ply their traffic under the very
nose of the court. The case which provoked
the scene mentioned was that of Ella Lewis,
colored woman, charged with keeping Il
vicious dog. The case was continued. Then
Dist. Atty. Moore called Judge SHELLS atten-
tion to the fact that colored man had ap-
preached the woman and tried to get her tO
employ lawyer This was the first palpabe
violation of the order of the court made some
days ago against this practice.
The party accused, said to be named Isaiah
Lewis, was then called before the court aud
the Judge administered q rebuke to him. He
said that he had on Friday issued an order
against the disroputable actions of cappers for
lawyers about the court and had notified
them that they would be punished for con-
tempt. He did not propose to interfere with
tho legitimate practice of lawyers, but did
propose to break up the disreputable. con-
temptable, and disgraceful practices which he
was constantly hearing of; the misrepresenta-
tions and frauds practiced on Ignorant de-
PENDANTS.
Mr.. Lewis, the colored attorney, then stated
that, the man accused of contempt was en-
ployed by him, and had right to do just as
he did. He denied the authority of the
court to enforce the rule he had issued. lie
persisted until the judge, after vainly trying
to make him sit down, imposed a found of $40
on him. The judge then said he would ap-
peal to the better element of the bar and the
bar association to debar all lawyers who thus
persisted in dishonoring the profession and
disgracing the court. He would issue rule
on Isaiah Lewis for him to show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt.
Attorney Lewis then apologized and the
court remitted the fine
