Two Hoosiers Trade Wives.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. l7.-In di-
vorce suit fled at Lafayette Satur-
day afternoon, the plaintiff, Lena
Chriatoffer, alleged that three
months after marriage her husband
went on u spree and made trade to
sell his wife to Jacob Demerly. In
return Christoffer was to receive
Demerly's wife. The trade, it
seems, was perfectly satisfactory
until few days after when Demerly
called ut the house and Christoffer
attempted to deliver the property
when the plaintiff refused to be de-
hvered, and this so angered her
husband that he threatened to kill
her if she did not leave the house
In great fear she left the premises,
and has since continued to reside
with an aunt. The defendant is quite
wealthy, and his wife is an intelli
gent and rather prepossessing wo
man.

sunday school Convention

For the best interest of the Sun
day School work of the county it is
important that there be united ef-
fort all along the line. In view of
this fact and that the interest of the
Sunday School work of the county
may be best promoted, the following
resolution was passed at the county
convention held at Beavertown last
may.
Resolved, That the vice presidents
make special efforts to hold district
conventions throughout the county.
IL is hoped that the vice presidents
of the county who are the presidents
of the district conventions will make
an earnest effert to hold conven-
ton this fall in each township. If 1t
is thought advisable two or more
townships can join and hold q con-
yention of u day or two continuance.
These conventions can be made OF
great good to the Sabbath School
work throughout the county and be
u means of bringing together and
uniting the christian people in the
christian work. Let there be a
grand rally all along the line of s. s.
work. So we may maintain the
honor conferred ON us as being one
of the banner counties in the State.
A collection should be taken at
each convention for the benefit of
State and County Associations,
and reports sent of all conventions

Tricks of the Trade,

"What b-e-a-u-tiful peaches" said an old iady as she stopped at a stall in the market and admired 9 basket of early peaches. They were covered with pink gauge and looked very tempting.
 The old lady bought the peaches and took them home. The next day she appeared again at the stall and showed the stall-kceper small piece of pink net.
 Do you keep that kind of veil ing for sale?" she asked.
 The stall-keeper told her that he did not.
 "Well," she said, "when I got them peaches home they were small, and sour and green, and I thought if I could get some of that stuff that made them look so pretty and plump in the basket I'd wear it my self. If it would improve me as much as it did the peaches, folks would think I'd found the Eliza of life.-De'r it Free Press.

\ Wise Plan.

A peanut vender near the mar ket was asked the other day by a policeman if the boy in his employ and who was left at the stand alone at meal time. was strictly honest.
 "Oh, no. no, no P he replied. "He is one cheat"
 "Did he ever steal from you?"
 "No, but he like to."
 "Why do you keep him?"
 Because he works so cheap"
 "How do you protect yoursel?f' "Well. you see, I go away and leave him alone. When I come back I look all around und call out Boy, you vas a tief! I take twenty cents off your wages or have you ar rested !"
 "And what does he say?"
 "What can he say? He was ali orphan and have no home or money, and he must give in or bounce him."
 Tt must take all his wages?"
 "Oh, yes, and more. That keeps him honest. It was an original plan with me, and it works like grease"

Johnny Told the Truth.

You don't eat a great deal, my little man," said the minister who was taking dinner with Johnny's parents.
 "No, sir; don't need to-"
 Perhaps you are training to be another Dr. Tanner and fast forty days"
 "Forty days ain't nothing"
 Johnny, don't talk nonsense, ; interposed his mother.
 "Why, ma, it ain't anything at all." Then turning to the minister, Eve got an uncle who lived over a month on water"
 "Why, Johnny" said his mother again, If you don't stop telling stories-"
 But it isn't a story. It's my un- cle Ned, who is captain of an ocean steamer. I guess, ma, he's lived on water more'n month often. ."- Merchant Traveller.

She Made Her Point.

"Where is young MT. Snlythe?" asked a party of excursionists.
 ''I guess he is late, as usual, said one young woman.
 "That is a terrible habit of pro- crastination that he has fallen into, 5 said young lady with smoked eye glasses and a green reticule. But I suppose he will get over it."
 II don't think he ever will get over it, not even when he dies, said the young woman.
 "That is nonsense" was the rath- CT sharp reply, No, it isn't, After he's dead he will be the late Mir. Smythe, won't he?"
 Bridget, has Johnnie come home from school yet?"
 "Yis, sorr."
 Have you seen him?"
 "No, sorr."
 "Then how do you know he's home?"
 "'Cause the oats hidin' under the stove, SOFT"
 "I'll never give up my seat in q stre, t car to a woman again as long as I live :" he said emphatically. Didn't she thank you for it? asked his wife.

The CaIdHall KILLING.

1t was not Doc. Riggs, the veterinary
surgeon, well known here, who killed
Bob Sharp, at Caldwell, on Sunday
night, October 28th, but 1t was his
brother, Dug Riggs, who is also vet
erinery surgeon. The facts, as reported
by the Caldwell Journal, appear to be
as follows: Last Sunday night, while
Dug Riggs and Bob Sharp were engaged
in game of cards in an upstairs room
in Shows livery stable, at Caldwell.
used as place of resort for sporting
men and gamblers, dispute arose be-
tween them over matter of twenty
FIVE cents, which led to a violent quar-
rel. Before the bystanders had realized
his intention, Riggs had drawn small
pocket knife and plunged it repeatedly
into Sharp's body. The victim fell in
pool of blood. and was carried away by
his friends. The doctors found eleven
knife wounds on his body. from the
effects of which he died before morn
ing. Riggs, the murderer, was arrest
ed during the forenoon, near the Terri
tory line, and was closely guarded by
the officers for fear of violence, He
was lodged in the Wellington Jail.

ALL WRONG =
Barber County Republican Ticket Elected
From A to lizard.
Fusion Would Not Work, and That Settles it

The result of the election in Barber
county was surprise to nearly every
Democrat and Union Labor man in the
county. 1t appears now that the Re-
publicans did not reckon without tb cir
host, as did our people, for their was
no time after the fusion of the two
tickets that the leading Republicans re-
fused TO bet on their judgment, and it
appears that their judgment was re-
markably good, for they elected every
county officer; carried the county for
Harrison, for president, Peters for CON
gress and Price for senator. They
elected the commissioner IN the second
district and the usual number of town.
ship tickets.
While this may appear great defeat
for the Democracy of Barber county,
1t should be remembered that not one
of the offices filed on Tuesday is now
filled by a Democrat. The present in
cumbents, L. A. McNeal, Judge Hardy,
IL. l.. Shannon, Frank Holmes and III.
5. Lands are all Republicans. So we
havn't lost anything.
There is no use now of talking about
how 1t was done. The Republicans
were better organized and had more
money than the Democrats, are two
reasons. They had exceptionally popu-
lar men as their candidates, Just as the
Democrats had one year ago. This
was national year. The Union Labor
vote was over-estimated, the leaders
claiming that they had from 800 to 500
when, in fact, they did not haye go as
is shown by the table published in this
issue. Kiowa, of course, did not help
the Democratic ticket, for that town is
as reliably Republican as is Medicine
Lodge.
But we will not moralize further. but
respectfully refer everyone interested
IL pursuing an unpleasant subject, to
the table of returns published in this
issue of INDEX. The table is as nearly
complete as we are able to get it with
out waiting for official returns which
will not be Obtainable before Friday
night.
