The Kirwin Independent is having
a great deal to say about so many
bankers being sent from this county
to the late Republican conventions.
1t talks like all the delegates to Wich-
tia, Topeka, Russell, and Oberlin are
National bankers and lawyers. An
old citizen who knows the occupation
of all these delegates, has carefully
gone over the names and reports to
US that there We're 10 farmers, six
merchants, five lawyers and three
bankers. The Independent should
be more accurate IN its statements.

At least two of the opposition pa
pers Of this county have intimated, if
not openly stated, that r. A. Dague
of the HERALD was Greenbacker in
Iowa. They are in error. We have
in the past and do now endorse sew
eral planks in the Greenback party
platform, but we have never affiliated
with any but the Republican party.
For about sixteen years we edited a
Republican paper in Iowa and then
as now put the interest of country be
fore party, and always had the indie
pendence to use the influence Of
the paper for temperance, for pro-
gressiOn and for reform, instead of
going it blind and whooping it up for
the party right or wrong. We are
now and always have been a Repub-
lican, but very independent one.
To us a party is of no use or value
unless it serves humanity. The Re
publican party is not perfect, and we
know Of no organization that is, but
it is UNNECESSARILY better than the
Democratic party. The HERALD's adj
vice to all temperance workers, and
anti-monOpOlists, and progressive Re
publicans, is to stay in the Republi-
can camp, and ''kick'' for reform, kicI
for advancement, kick hard for TEN
perance, and not go off into thirG
party movements, for by doing so yoJ
will only strengthen the Democratic
/ party.

Nearly all the delegates of the late

The Logan Freeman still yawps
about the HERALD getting the county
printing last January at higher fig
ure than the proprietor of that paper
offered to do it for, away off in one
corner of the county. Now the Free
mans insincerity is shown by his
charging certain townships in the
matter of voting railroad bonds, sew
eral hundred per cent more than he
offered to do the county printing for.
In the matter of county printing he
knew the Commissioners would not
select a paper sixteen miles from the
county seat, and he made his bid to
do said printing for buncomb only.
We have not yet figured out what
per cent higher his charge was fol
township printing than his offer to dc
county printing, bat it was several
hundred per cent

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF.
John G. Koerner Receives Wound Which,
1t Is Feared, May Result Fatally.

John G. Koerner, commission merchant re-
siding at No. 146 South Noble street, was the
victim Of painful accident night before last,
aud grave fears of fatal results entertained
by his friends. He returned home from his lodge
meeting between 10 and IL o'clock and, undress-
ing, laid his clothes upon a chair near the bed.
While doing 80 he noticed that his daughters
clothing was also upon the chair and after re-
firing he remembered that he had left his pistol
in the outer pocket of his coat. Fearing that
his daughter might rise early in
the morning and remove his cloth
ing, and thus accidentally discharge the
pistol. he got up and removed the weapon from
his pocket. In the act of laying it upon the
mantel, the pistol was discharged, and the ball
entered his right groin, causing q dangerous
wound. Dr. carp was called, and probed for
the ball, but without success. Yesterday the
wounded man was kept under the influence of
opiates, and the physician made three calls upon
him. DIR. carp cannot determine for two or
three days whether the ball entered the iates.

DIR. BRADLEYs GOOD WORK.
He Raises $4,000 for the Episcopal Church
of Indiana Diocese in Three Days.

In maintaining the diocesan organization of
the Episcopal Chuch in Indiana from 81, 600 to
$1,000 is required yearly. This amount is to
cover the Bishops salary, the taking care of do
cesar property and paying expenses of the
annual church convention. Heretofore the
money has been raised by assessments
churches and missions throughout the State. and
they have often been found burdensome. It
was suggested some time ago that plan might
be devised for raising the capital to endow the
diocese. It was estimated that $50. 600 would be
sufficient for this purpose, and that the amount
could be raised from parishes and missions.
About two years ago the plan took definite
form, and q canvass OF the country parishes
began. During that time about $1,000 has
been raised from this source alone, leaving the
rest to be supplied by the larger and weather.
churches. Bishop Knickerbacker deemed it ad-
visable that DR.. Bradley, before leaving the
an effort to secure at least So 900 in subscriptions
tha endowment fund. Three days ago the
Doctor began his canvass. and within that time
obtained pledges for over Sd. 900.
In securing this endowment q plan is OBJ
served that makes the payment as easy as pos
sible to the subscribers. It is arranged on the
coupon plan, each coupon calling for a seml-an-
nual payment and as there are ten of them, the
whole of an individuals subscription can be paid
in 1--WE years. The subscriptions run from So to
$500. coupon thus calling for sums from 90
cents so $50. Dr. Bradley considers the readi-
ness with which tho parishioners have respond
ed to his solicitations as q token OF spiritual in
terest in the affairs Of the church. He thinks
the Protestant Episcopal denomination in Indi-
ana is looking towards great development and
good works, as the Jealous feeling in the church
Ia stronger than it was two years ago.
The vestry of Christ Church held meeting on
Wednesday evening to consider the question of
q successor to DR.. Bradley, who leaves tho par
ish for his new charge In Brooklyn the 1st OF
next month. Some of the vestrymen were not
DESTROYS OF selecting rector at once as they
thought it due to the Doctor to wait awhile, but
he urged the making of a selec ton early as
possible, lest the affairs of the parish should
suffer by not having recognized rector in charge.
The vestrymen, though, will proceed carefully in
their decision, it is regarded that Christ
Church. being the mother church of Episcopalian-
ism in this city, should have rector of I'M
doubted ability, and one who is in every way
qualified to continue the prosperity due to Dr.
Bradley's administration.

During 1887 no casualties occurred from the use
of inspected oils, but many accidents resulted
from the increasing use of gasoline, the most
dangerous Of petroleum products. and the In

d FREAK WITHOUT FLESH.
a Man Whose Weight Has Dropped from les
Pounds to About Fifty.

Among the freak population that find an
abiding place in side shows and museums, ex-
amples of extremes in length and also Of unusual
proportions in lateral grovth, have ceased to be
rare but very thin freaks are not so numerous.
The attenuated freaks, living skeletons, they
are advertised. ar the victims of the generally
incurable disease known as progressive muscular
atrophy. 1t is gradual wasting away OF the mus
Giles through a degeneration of the nerve centers
governing the processes of nutrition. The flesh
so effectualy wastes away that little is left but
the skeleton. A very unusual example of this
is j. w. Coffey, who is now stopping at the Cap
ital House. He taken by Dr. Henry
jam eson to the Indiana MedicafCollege yester
day. where he was examined by the physicians
in the presence OF the medical Students AL
though he is thirty years old and five
Feet ss n sgas Wha tau s.,n ne sses out
at the age of nineteen, he weighed l65. For nine
years he gradually grew thinner until at pres
q three year-old child. An exception to his gem
eral attenuation are the muscles of his face and
neck. whicL still remain in a state of normal
development. This. the doctors say. is due to
the fact that degeneration has not yet attacked
the nerve ce nters near the base of the brain
which govern .s the nusrsi0n OF ns the
remarkabie feature about coffey's case. the
physicians say, is the uniformity with which
his flesh has vanished, and the soundness OF his
heart and respiratory organs. Usually the vic
tim is a deformity or his lungs soon become at
fected resulting fatally. In this case neither
of the features prevail, the atrophy has appar-
emily ceased, and the indications are for . loag
lease of life.
Some people grow fat by eating and others
grow lean. Coffey is example of the latter
class. He eats regularly three times a day, but
owing to the popularity Of his affection the food
is excreted without being assimilated. In ap-
pearance this skeleton dude" as he styles him
self is progressing and affal's in demeanor.
He wishes very much to get mai lied and add to
the sum of his physical possession. Altogether
he is remarkable for the small space he occupies
in the world and the unusual operation Of the
malady with which he is afflicted.
