A young man by the name OF
Vail, of St. Louis, IS developing a
new industry in that great progress
i've city. The plan Of operation is
first to marry and then take out life
insurance and accident policies upon
the wife. His first experiment fallN
ed. He put strychnine in the soup,
but 3 smart aleck of a doctor came
and pumped it out, and the woman
survived. Seeing that it was no
90 with the woman,
unless he could get the doctors to
hands off with their pumps, he got
divorce and married again. Wife
No. 2. was in due course of time
shingled over with policies, ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000. A buggy
ride seemed to be the next plan,
The couple reached a park and the
enterprising young man leaped out,
as he explained it, to whip the horse
to make him behave himself. AS he
leaped he cut the horse blow with
the whip, and dropped the relns,
Fortunatc'ysthe ill-starred wife gob>
bled the reins and stopped the horse
after a brief struggle. Failing in
this, he took hlg wife to visit some
country friends and accidentally shot
her, infcting mortal wound from
which she died. 1t now appears
that he had wife No. 2 fnlly insured,
and the family are giving MIR. Vail
an opportunity to fully explain his
enterprise. Will wonders never
cease? Great is business. Hang the
scoundrel.

Of the Sunday>school. and an ex-
horter in the Universallst Church
His wife was young and
pretty. Fox is farmer. tie, too'
was the possessor of an attractive
wife. The two families became
intimate, and it developed in time
that Mr.. Schad and Mrs. Fox had
become enamored of each other,
and that a similar state ofSatfairs eX'
isted between sMr. Fox and Mrs
Schad. The four became acqualnt'
ed with each others feelings, and h
nally the two men struck a bargain
and swapped wives. Schad bid his
wife an affectionate adieu, kissed his
little one good. by, loaded his wife
into a neighbours wagon, and togeth'
er they were driven to Crooked Sta

Candidates.

Joseph Ault announces this week
for the Office OF tax assessor OF oharP
county. To those who do not know
Mr.. Ault personally we can say that
he is a moral, sober and. industrious
man, and is qualified to make a gooo
assessor. He is democrat and his
candidacy Is subject to the action OF
the democratic county convention
Give his claims due consideration
Among the candidates for assessor
we mention the name of ii. A.
Marsh of Lebanon township, whose
announcement appears in its proper
place in to-day'S paper. Mr.. Marsh
is highly recommended by those
who know him best as a competent
man and a true blue democrat, ana
is also subject to the action OF the
democrats at the primaries and the
conyention. Remember him when
making your ticket for assessor
A. C. Higginbottom announces
this week as a candidate for sheriff
of Sharp county, subject to the ac'
ton of the democratic party. Alex
has held the assessors office for two
terms and IS therefore well known
throughout the county, both as TO
character and business qualifications,
and needs no recommendation at our
hands. Should he be elected as
sheriff we have every reason to be-
lieve the position would be hlled sat-
isfactorly to the people.
Under the proper heading may be
found the announcement of Il. b.
Andrews, soliciting the support OF the
electors of Sharp county for the Of
flee of county assessor, and is subject
to the action of the democratic
party. Byron, as he is famlIlarly
called, is one of the leading young
teachers of the county, possessing
that snap and vigor that cannot fail
to win him the admiration of many
friends. His democracy is not to be
questioned nor his competency doubt
ed; and when making up your ballot
for the coming primaries, his wants
should be considered.
BY consulting the announcement
column this week the reader will see
that D, L. King Is a candidate for
circuit CLERK before the democratic
county convention. Very few dem"
ocrats in the county who are unac'
quainted with Mr.. King, as ha was
prominent candidate for this same
office in the primaries OF 1883; and
while it pleased the democracy to
favor an opponent at that tlme'
he pressed forward with untiaglng
zeal and did all in his power for the
success of the democratic ticket. 10
say that this candidate is capable III
dustrious and sober wonld be making
assertions that need no proof, and let
it suffice to say that Dave King, IT
elected, will make good clerk,

ANOTHER TOBACCO FRAUD.
A Reckless "Buycr" Turns upat Gap.
But Disappears Suddenly.

But Disappears suddenly.
The story ofthe operation of the man who
gave his name as Chester Proctor, who SO
rccklessly purchqsed tobacco in the
neighborhood Of Lampeter, last week. and
then ran away, was not all told in yester-
days TNTELLIdENcER. Reports show that
he bargained to take the crops of a great
many farmers Mt the most eXorbitant
prices This young man was tall aud slim,
with light hair and moustache and had one
eye which looked as though it was glass.
Another young man, who may have
been partner of Proctor, operated about
Gap in a similar manner during the latter
part of last week. He was small man
with dark moustachs, aud said his name
was Hirsh, and that he came from New
York. He stopped at Rutter's hotel, aud
for two days drove around among the
farmers. He purchased II great many
crops of tobacco, or at least offered to take
them, at as high as 20 and 81 cents per
pound through. Like the Lampeter man
he told tho farmers to come TO Gap and he
would pay them something in advance for
his tobacco. The arrangement was that
they were 10 meet him on Saturday, but by
the time they arrived he had flown To

was no good.
On Saturday the tob acco man spent part
OF the day about the village, and finally he
started of down the railroad track, SAYING
that he was going for his team lie never
came back and has not been seen since He
left behind him an unpaid hotel bill, and
he also owed Penn Liuville for two DAYS
horse hire Mt 50 per day. He had purchased
horse from "A man named Lapp, at tho
Gap, who smelled a rat, however, and did
not deliver him.
While in the village Hirsh told the Wild

these made the people shy of him lie
said that he had started in at Delta, York
county, and had purchased great deal of
tobacco through To Gap. ie had secured
every crop between Columbia and Port
Deposit. He offered MAI Bushong $50 If he
would drive with him about the country
two days buying tobacco, but the kind
offer was refused. During his STAY Mr..
Hirsh wore no vest, but he had on very
