We have been informed and regret ex-
ceedingly, that Mr.. J. 3. Latouche, who
took the bichloride Of gold cure for the
liquor habit, has been tempted to again
drink. We have talked with him and he
declares that 1t was more through curios-
tty than otherwise that he sought liquor.
He had no desire for II, was not disap-
pointed in any way, but through idle Gu
rfosity thought he would see II II tasted
as formerly. He earnestly urges that
any other of the persons who have taken
the cure shall not experiment with their
appetites. For the sake of others he de-
sires that we shall say this to the pub
lie. He still has faith in the cure. But
he deems it unwise for anyone to try his
appetite.-Vermillion Democrat

was driving. The horse was hitched to
a cart and as the engine drew nearer,
the animal reared and plunged nearly

more effort to free itself, standing al
most perpendicular in the roadway

In speaking Of the thieving operations
of the school supply swindlers in Chicago
the Columbia City Post says: THE work
of disreputable Chicago firm in selling
supplies TO township trustees at exorbi-
tant figures is receiving a. good deal of
attention at the hands Of the newspapers
Another trustee in Lagrange county was
offered a bonus of $50 if he would pur-
chase four sets of maps at $65 per set.
This systematic resort to bribery Of
township trustees ought to be looked
into. There is too much of 1t done for
the good Of the public, for there are men
in Office who can be reached and who
are reached at the expense Of the tax
payers II was to head off deals of this
character that a bill WIS introduced in
the last legislature to limit trustees to a
certain sum in their purchase
Some unprincipled wretch made a das-
tardly assault on Engineer James Doug
lass at Magley last night. Mr.. Doug
lass was coming west on Wells-Fargo
express train No. Is and passed through
Magley at a high rate of speed. When
near the depot some scoundrel at the
side of the track threw a stone at the
engine cab. The stone crashed through
the window and struck Mr.. Douglass
in the head. He was dazed for a mo-
ment, but recovered his self-possession
at once. A large cash was cut in his
forehead which although not serious is
very painful. Officers have been set at
work on the case and they hop to be
able TO capture the rascal who threw
the stone. Magley Is a little place a few
miles east Of Observation-Disclosures

Thursday morning James H. Grimes
went down into a we'll which he was
digging for James Raines, one mile west
of Mt. Meridian, and which had reached
a depth of fifty-one feet. After two
buckets Of dirt were sent to the surface
Ezekiel Moore and Mr.. Raines heard
the doomed man struggling and became
aware that he was in trouble Of some
kind. The farm bell was rung and in a
short time number Of men collected,
but Grimess body was not taken out
until nearly an hour had elapsed. DR..
Sturgeon was summoned, but he was
then beyond all medical help. Dyna-
mite had been used in the hole on the
previous day and 1t is thought the gas
from this explosive produced damps,
which suffocated the poor fellow in a
short time.-Greencastle Democrat.
Other reports to the contrary not
withstanding, the various land compan-
les at Elwood and the Raub locomotive
people seem to understand each other
very we'll. There are fifteen land syn
dicates on one side. representing a vast
amount of real estate, while the other
end of the teeter board is occupied by
the locomotive company. Attorney G..
M. Ballard returned from Elwood
Thursday afternoon. At that time he
says the best of harmony prevailed be-
tween the land owners and Elder Gov
ert's company. A full understanding
was reached and terms agreed upon, by
- ,h iva Frr1ru mill hn
planted at Elwood. Mr.. Ballard had a
stenographer at work the greater part
of Thursday night drafting the contract
in accordance with the terms agreed
upon esterday.-Anderson Herald.
Sunday afternoon Albert Good, we'll
known farmer of Jefferson township.
| living southwest OF Lake Cicett was Sc
riously injured by a patent riding corn
cutter. This Is new invention, some
what on the principle of q mower and
It seems can be equally dangerous. Mr..
| Good was riding one Of the horses at
tached 10 the cutter and the animal
taking sudden fright jumped and threw
| its rider off. He fell in the path of the
relentless blade which caught him on
one OF his legs, cutting a deep cash
| into the lower part Of the calf and then
| literally slicing the calf from the leg,

| above the ankle to the knee and sever

The Hoosier State, published at New
| port, a flag station six miles south of
here, says a prize-fight occurred at the
| fair grounds here last Sunday and was
| Witnessed by forty or fifty Cayuga sports.
| We don't know how the Hoosier State
| obtained this information, but we do
| know that ii is a distortion of the truth.
| 1t is true that little difficulty arose be-
| tween Ed Heicbreder and George Baily
during the ball game at the fair grounds
| last Sunday and few blows were struck,
| but no prize-hght was arranged and none
occurred. The young men were sepa-
rated by friends and the affair ended
| there. Such reports may do incalcula-
| BILE injury to a town. If the militia is
ever ordered TO Newport 1T will not be to
prevent a prize-hght, because prize-fght-
| ers and sports were never known to Sc
lect a graveyard for a prize-ring.-Cay-

Aly'2 ander iIanlev. caboose inspector at

| Sunday morning that came we'll nigh
making end of his earthly existence,

place in his memory as long as he lives.
| He was underneath a caboose doing some
work wren the east-bound local, which
was switching, backed into the caboose
track and against the car under which
he was at work The shock came sud-

more by instinct than by reasoning, Mr..
Hanley reached out for one OF the iron
rods underneath the car, which he held
