in great despair, a woman keeping a no.
torious house ran across and took her
In and cared for her. This was the ac-
complishment OF her ruin. She is now
one OF the unfortunate beings who are
said to be the eternal priestesses Of hui
manity, blasted for the sins of the peO-
pie Not yet old enough to think OF
marriage or womanhOod. she is never
theless an inmate OF a well-known re-
sort. Quite recently she was a pure
girl, in the society If the incest young
people of Richmond: now she is the
sport and toy Of brutal lust. When some
of her friends here first heard Of ii they
were appalled,. It seemed utterly beyond
human reason to believe that so good
and pure a girl should have fallen so
low.-Richmond Independent.
On Sunday last there occurred at the
residence of Mr.. Frank Wheeler, about
three miles southeast Of Noblesville, an
occasion that will always remain in
the bosom of each and every one that
was there to help celebrate the reunion
Of the Wheeler family. There were pres
ent three generations. Total number in
attendance. 156. The youngest was Mag
gle May Mott, aged nine weeks; the old
est was Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart, aged
seVenty-seVen years. Mr. and Mrs. John
Wheeler. the ancestors of this large con-
gregation of good, kind, benevolent and
religious people came to this county in
1926 from Kentucky, where they left on
account Of slavery. They were united in
matrtmony March q, 1927, and the fruits
of that marriage were six boys and FIVE
girls, two of the girls having passed be-
yond TO that better world, and the re-
naming nine children are all married,
have large families and are in good cir
eumstances, which they have all earned
by hard, honest work, which was taught
them by the loved ones that have passed
beyond the river and are numbered with
the angels in heaven. They were both
exemplary Christian people, belonging to
the Christian church. and always taught
their children 70 love their Savior. They
settled on the banks Of Stony creek,
about two and one-half miles east OF
NobIesville, where they remained until
death called them home. Mr.. Wheeler
died in 1889 and Mrs. Wheeler in 1881,
Just a few months apart.-Noblesville
Democrat
The Wabash Plain-Dealer. and the Au-
burn Dispatch both, by the way, strong
the swindle practiced upon the people Of
northern Indiana by Baton, Morse &
Co. Of Chicago, whose tactics were ex-
posed in last weeks Democrat. The
Plain-Dealer says eight trustees in Steu-
ben, La Grange and adjoining counties
have been caught in sums of eight hun
bred to one thousand dollars by the
firm, who got the trustees into Chicago
with free railroad tickets, where II un-
folded its little scheme to sell the trus-
tees five-dollar maps at $3.50 each. The
Dispatch says: "One Of the trustees Of
Steuben county, who had been dined
and wined around Chicago till he was
delirious with the before unheard-of fes-
tiyities, signed an agreement 10 take
several hundred dollars worth Of worth
less supplies. Superintendent r. V. Car
lin got hold Of the matter and he wrote
the Chicago sharks a very pointed let
ter. His letter brought two Of the Chi
cago men to Angola, who attempted to
brighten him out OF the fight by threat
ening to sue him for blackmail. But he
stood firm and when the game failed
they attempted to bride him, agreeing
to return his 'blackmalling letter If he
would use his influence with the trus-
tees, who returned the contracts and
countermanded his order. Mr.. Carlin
still refusing them, they left Angola,
threatening to institute suit against
him at the September term Of the cir
cult court" This performance of Mr..
Carlin's Is in direct contrast with that
Of our own superintendent. Mr.. +. G.
Machan, who gave Mr. Morse splendid
letter of recommendation with which he
introduced himself TO our trustees. This
letter was shown TO Messrs. Norris,
Showalter and Yoder, and upon the
strength of Machan's testimony these
gentlemen gave Morse order for one
set OF maps at reduced rate. Morse
offered DR.. II. NJ. Newman a bonus OF
$50 If he would order four sets Of maps
at $50 each, but Mr.. Newman had no
use for them On his second visit Mr..
Showalter having discovered the nature
Of the fraud, ordered Morse from his
office. The Democrat knows Of one
trustee who purchased five sets Of these
maps at the exhorbitant price named
and is looking for two more. and per-
haps three, who are equally subject to
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Democrat.
