FAULTY INDICTMENTS.
Stupid Indiana Democrats In Their
Zeal Made Rluufers.


INDIANAPOLIS, March 2a-Under the de-
cision given by Judge Woods of the fed
eral court, on the motion to quash the In
dictments in election cases, l2S indict-
ments viii, If defendants make appliea-
ti0k. be thrown out Already Is have been
declared invalid. including 10 yesterday
and Is to-day In some instances only
dart of the indictments against certain in-
dividu4ls have been quashed. In no In
stance has bribery case been dismissed.
The indictments quashed are against indi-
viduals charged with Illegal voting or with
assisting others to vote Illegally. The
charge is made by the attorneys of de-
PENDANTS and by Republicans that In
dietments have been carelessly and loosely
drawn. 1t is held that q court had no
other course than TO grant the motions TO
quash. Judge Woods saying the indict-
ments were irregular and could not be
brought to his attention in that form.
All those indictments were found by the
federal grand jury under the direction of
the lately retired Democratic officials of
the court 1t is not the intention of the
present United States district attorney TO
call back the old grand jury. He says that
any grand jury can return indictments, ana
that some OF the cases may be brought up
In the state courts. He does not think
himself called upon To do anything fur
iher with the grand jury.

was one Of the brightest pupils of that In

Riley Shelton has sold his residence to
John Gill and has gone to Salem think

loosing such good citizen.
Rev. ]. w. Osborn, of Independence,
who has been pastor of the Baptist church
of this place for the last fifteen years,
preached his farewell sermon here last
Sabbath.
Rev. Sperry, of Brownsville, was elect.
ed to take his place for the ensuing year.
Mr.. Nelson and VIM. Logan, of Nc
Ninnyille are visiting friends in this place.
The town has been infested with band
of beggars and bears for the past week,
and they seem likely to stay until they are
driven away. Itdoes not seem that such
able bodied men and women deserve much
sympathy from the people.
Mr.. Bagley, of Salem. who has been the

HUNTsyIL LEW. T

The finest weather ever seen IN this
country, rain enough; but now, for weeks
We have had clear weather, and the roads
are excellent. The fog was little uii-
wholesome and there Is some pneumonia.
The rain aad open weather have given
this country hundreds of thousands more
bushels of wheat, and it has saved feed.
Hay commands a good price, say SIG
per ton right here. In Walla Walla they
offer SiS. Straw Is in demand here, and
those who put up their straw, so as to pre-
serve, are in luck. Corn Is In demand also.
There was boom in pork in the fall.
Many men bought heavily and now they
need feed.
Wheat rose to 63 cents here, but has
now come down to 60 cents. But that is
good price for this place. Oue of the way
places are far worse. Besides, our goods
are cheaper since the incoming of the other
railways.
The United Brethren are having a pro-
tracted meeting, accomplishing nothing.
The seminary has the best school we
have had for years, but the attendance is
smaller than that of last year, owing to the
want of boarding.
A vocal music class of abou. thirty has
been running for some weeks. A good
thing.
Grandma Hunt fell down and put her
shoulder out of joint. She is the same
old lady who has so frequently broken her
bones. Very unlucky.
The NJ. E. church Is without pastor so
far this year. Prof. Walker oficiates here
and at Dayton. They have fine Sunday
school.
