in Jail here Monday charged with
lunacy. Andy Fauber a big stout
looking farmer from Union district,
was examined and committed by
Squire IL. II. Wheeler OF Rowles-
burg. He was brought over by
Lloyd Shafier Of Carmel and does
not seem to be much of his bal
lance, as he Is very quiet and takes
things easy. He has family aud
says the trouble arose over bis whip
ping one Of the children. His wife
took it up and there wss domestic
row and she declared to the neigh.
bors that her husband was crazy
and dangerous. The neiRhbors
ihersupon took it up and becoming
afraid Of him, had him arrested.
His papers giye his age at SO al
though he look younger. Sheriff
Jackson Immediately forwarded
the papers to the Supt. Of the Hos
pisal for the Insane at Weston and
1t is expected that he will be re-
moved to that place at once. 1t has

1t is with deep regret that our
people learned Of the death, ut Free
port, Pa, Of Mrs. Wallace, wife OF
Rev. j. b. Wallace, at her home in
that place @onday, March 9, 1891.
The interment took place at Mt.
Union, Ohio, her former homo,
Wednesday Of last week. Rev. Wal
lace was pastor Of the Presbyterian
Church here in 1889, aud it was
during that summer that they were
married. Mira. Wallace was a
young and beautiful woman, and
her early death is great shock to
the bereayed husband and the many
friends of the deceased. "Bright-
est flowers are p,ucked frst," and
death loves shining mark" is
once more impressed on our minds.

his mslefactions principles have been

dacity to herald their missiles of

dency Of favor, in hopes that by

Taxpayer" ~ in his unprovoked
assault on County Supt. of Schools,
Mr.. b. ii. Elsey.
Heretofore We have been neutral
in ali controversies, and would pre-
fer remaining so, bat when man
makos so bold as to question Mr..
Elsey's mental status and throw
reflection upon the normal judg.
ment OF Preston's majority which
elected him to that Office. We are
prone to rise and extend the hand
of gratitude to the modern "Fabius''
for the spportune revelation and
timely suggestion that I'VE may
have for our next County Supt.
man of BRAIN" even If we have to
sacrifice the author of this reyela-
ton. Now, we do not know Tax
payer" other than through his at
tackon Mr.. Elsey, bat we do know
Mr.. Elsey personally, but better
politically, and am sure we are
voicing the sentiment of the people
when we say he has done his work
efficiently and well. while our per
cents in Orthography and Art Of
Teaching (Mr. Elsey's branches)
were not quite 80 highas we though
our manuscripts would show, yet
we were willing to take his iudg-
ment IN the matter. And it does
seem a sheer inconsistency in the
Grant representative to charge Mr..
Elsey with arming every boy and
girl with No. One certificate
when Mr.. Freeland, whom he advo-
Gates, graded much higher then Mr.
Elsey. We have nothing to say
against Mr.. Frocland, for We know
him to be scholarly gentlemen.
But this is q practice which long
since HIS become chronic, and, too.
TO the detriment of governmental
'fsirs as well 60 to society. 1t Is
no uncommon thing when an Office
ia to be filed and an aspirant an
nounces himself as candidate for
the same, no matter how pure and
unquestionabic be his pedigree and
motives, yet, alike at him are hurled
invectives from malicious tongues,
till our good men are loath to be
candidate, submitting to inferior
rnlc rather than the humiliation Of
false charges. This practice is
nialediction and should be discoun-
tenanced by all good people. Still
it Is not the least humiliating cir
cumstance OF this diabolical bust
ness that these persons bypocritical
and Impudent denunciations receive
the appreciation of too many people.
Still, in all this there is to the more
intelligent class who abstain from
such ghoulish resorts one consollng
reflection, and that is. the day is
not far distant when the editors of
our many perio5 icals will ignore
the representatives OF this gall vent

The Democrats have again scored
another victory in the election of
Gen. John NJ. Palmer to the United
States Senate from the strong Re-
publican State of Illinois. The
Legislature at Springfield has, after
long deadlock, finally settled the
question in favor of the great party
of the people. Palmer has had the
entire Democratic support from the
start and got there, on the 154th
ballot. Gen. Palmer was Governor
of Illinois, and has been an active
worker for the party for the past
twenty years. He is the first Dem
ocratic Senator from that State
since Stephen A. Douglass, we be-

The Era, Journal and other Re /.
publican papers have been Dragging
at great length about the decrease
in the price Of sugar to take effect
April 1st. They have been telling
the people that since the Mckinley
Bill admitted sugar free of duty, it
would now be sold to them ut a re-
ductlon OF at least tive cents per
pound. They try to impress on the
people how much money they can
save by this, and in the same paper
they will claim that the tariff is not
a tar and is not paid by the con
sumner. Now can anything be more
inconsistent ? Has not the consu mer
been reaching down into his poke
heretofore and paying that extra tw o
cent per pound tariff or tar? will
some Republican please rise up and
explain
