A new departure in swindling has
come to light in the Hoosier State, as
appears from special from North
Vernon, which says: "a man giving
his name as DR.. James Penneston has
been working successful scheme up.
on some of our farmers in Campbell
township. He pretended to be a ply
sician, and would agree to cure a per
son for certain sum. No money un.
til the patient was well. An agree
ment was signed, and now the agree
ment turns up in the hands of third
parties as notes, payable in the bank
No one knows anything about the alb
sent Penneston, and he has not been
seen since his visit among the people
of Campbell township" There are al.
ways plenty of people ready to catch
on to every tramp doctor that chances
to turn up. The same game may be
attempted in this county. Look out
for it.

it read: "Mary cannot come She
has child" He was astonished, and
telegraphed for an explanation, which
came thus: "She has had another
child" This time his request for an
explanation was more explicit, 1t

What wonderful harmony exists in
the Republican party. Read this from
the Perrysburg Journal, which IN these
parts is considered pretty good Repub.
lican authority:
"In order to defeat Hon. John Sher-
man for U. S. Senator two years ago
and secure the place himself, Gov.
Foster paid $4,000 for champagne
spree at the Chicago convention, which
he had inaugurated with the view of
making himself solid with the Gar
field Administration. The bill was not
settled until some time after the con-
vention and when It's payment was de-
manded Foster paid up, and some of
his henchmen started out The report
that it was an unsettled bill of Sher-
man 's-hotel expenses for Sherman's
delegation at The convention. When
interviewed upon the subject Foster
would say he did not wish to talk
about it, leaving the impression re-
main that the report was true and thai
lie had magnanimously paid the bill to
shield the party from disgrace. The
better class of Republican papers are
discovering the fact he is doing the
party more harm than good by the
low grade in which he is endeavoring
to conduct the present campaign.
They we'll know that Foster should be
the last man to accuse another of put
chasing votes to secure nomination
or an election. Here is what the Gin
cinnati Times Star says IN regard to it:
"Gov. Foster, has placed himself in
an awkward position by accusing
Judge Hoadly of buying votes. The
fact that the charge was made indl-
rectly Goes not shield the governor
from public condemnation as a politl-
cal tattler. The Governer of State is
engaged IN small business when he
goes about pedding charges the name
of the author of which he is forbidden
to divulge. For such campaign meth
DDS only very low order of talent is
required

Squeezing the Clerks for
Campaign Funds.

COLUMBUS, August 3.-She Republi-
cans in their platform pretend to be in
favor of civil service reform and indorse
the civil service reform law. One ofthe
first principles of that reform is that
there shall be no assessing of clerks or
other officials and employees for political
purposes. How hypocritically false the
Republicans are in this as they are in
everything will appear from the follow
ing circular just issued. bp the Republic

DEAR SIR:-It is evident that politi-
cal campaign cannot be successfully
prosecuted unless the necessary means
are provided to pay the ordinary ex-
penses incurred for postage, writing,
telegraphing, travelling expenses of
speakers, etc. We therefore appeal to
our Ohio Republican friends to aid us in
this matter. We take the liberty to ask
YOU for contribution of $40.

So the bleeding process has COM
menced and every employe about the

short of funds this year and Foster is
bound to squeeze all he can out of the
poor clerks and spittoon cleaners.
