Campaign Method. in the Fifth.

The Union makes great TODD
about gang disposing of key OF
beer on Twenty-second street Satur-
day morning and charges that the
beer was presented with the compii-
ments of Julius Junge, democratic
candidate for alderman i'll the Fifth
ward. That was where the Union
got slightly mixed. That beer was
bought with George Schneider ;
money and was distributed in his IN
terests. Mr.. Junge is concealing
nothing in his campaign and is not
throwing money or its equivalent
around loose, nor is he posing as the
sainted candidate of moral reform on
one hand. and having his friends
peddle out the beer on the other, a.
his opponent is doing. 1t is not such
a desperate case with MIR. Junge as
all that.

In the central ward over in Rock
Island fight is being made on the
democratic candidate for alderman
because he favored the paving i'm.
provement of Seventeenth street in
that city. 1t would seem that if al
alderman opposes all public improve.
mcnts he will certainly be cast asid,
as an old fogy, and if he favors pro

that growls at any public improve

The Eject of McConochie's Int crest in the
Republican Ticket

The Eject of McConochie's Interest in the
Republican Ticket
If anything were needed to defeat
the republican candidates in uomor-
rows election more than their weak
ness collectively and individually, the
choice of ex-Mayor McConochie IS
chairman of the city-township COM
mittee is sufficient to doom the
entire outfit. To parade McConochie
before the republican party is like
shaking a red blanket in the face of
4 bull; to identify his name with any
political undertaking is sufficient to
arouse the people to action in order
To defeat whatever cause he cham
pions. Hence the effect of his man
agement of the present campaign on
the part OF the republican ticket. 1t is
the same cid trouble in the republican
ranks of the household divided
against itself, and McConochie is the
disturbing element. To have to
carry such men as McConochie and
Miller is burden in itself. To be
obliged to suffer the remorse of hav-
ing these two worthless manipulating
matters in behalf of the ticket is
enough to arouse sympathy.

scented the local association. The
matter of the dispute as. to PLAYER
McNicker, claimed by Omaha and

Wicker was ordered to report to Des

There was an animated discussion
a. to the location of the Dcs Moines
park, and McCaull was hauled over
the Goals for his part in the matter,
and finally he was given limited
time in which to put things in shape
at the Iowa capital as they should
be. McCaull wanted to locate the
park ut the state fair grounds, whic h
was objected to because it is too
remote from the city, and it was also
shown that the general arrangements
in Des Moines were more incomplete
than in any of the other cities.

Mysterious Disappearance of
School Teacher.

BRAZIL Nov. 23.-Special.-The mys-
FERROUS disappearance of Prof. Clancy, a
teacher in the public schools Of Clay City,
remains still unsolved.
CLANCY located at Clay City last fall
with his family-wife and one child-hav-
ing been engaged as first assistant in the
public schools of this place Last Mon
day morning he did not show up ait the
usual school hour. When the principal
absence he found the place deserted. Aft
er a time it became known that he had
engaged rig at one Of the liveries in the
town to drive to Worthington TO meet his
sister, starting out at a late hour of the
night, saying that he would be back by
breakfast time next morning. He did not
come, but hired a young man at Worth
ingtOn to return the team. The furnish
ings Of his house, which had been bought
on installments, were all left and later
taken into possession by the dealers who
had sold them. Before leaving he had
drawn all the money due on services rem
dered and So more. His Indebtedness
about the town is said to be $780, His
leaving is a profound mystery to ALL and
Just as much so to a brother, who resides
within a mile of the place. Not a word
has been heard from him nor his family
from the time that he employed the young
man at Worthington to return the livery
rig.
Whether it be the freak of mental aber-
ration or a policy more TO get away from
an anticipated expose of past conduct-a
fleeing from feared pursuit-no one is will
ing TO venture. He was regarded an eff
Gent school man and was much respected.

ing. The consumers, as they generally
do, retired with the gas in their stoves
burning low. At u o'clock an alarm of
fire was sent in and the fire proved to be
the kitchen Of Charles Sweet, foreman Of
the Daily Republican, and had caught
from his kitchen stove, which almost
melted down and from which the gas was
burning nearly two feet in hight. The re-
suit was that Foreman Sweet lost nearly
everything he had. The fire had alarmed
that section Of the town and saved the
lives and property Of many other citizens
who. on awakening. had found their stoves
in the same condition and ready TO ignite
at any moment. Just after the company
had placed their hose, etc, in the fire
building another alarm was sent in from
an opposite direction Of the city, and the
fire proved 10 be in me residence of
Thomas RhOades and had originated in
exactly the same manner as had the Sweet
fire. Mr.. RhOades lost mis- ali. but the fire
like the other, had been of great benefit
for it served to alarm the other residents
Of the city. The business and professional
men hurried to their stores and offices and
found their stoves red not all over and in
several instances the pipe had been burned
In two and fallen TO the floor. Doors and
wind 1ws were broken in and people ran
from door 10 door like m3niacs The loss
in al will reach much larger sum than
the average citizen has any idea of. All
day groups Of citizens have stood on the
street corners and gathered in the bust
ness houses to discuss the matter.
Some contend that the averted con-
fiagratiOn and holocaust was purely care
lessness on the part of the officers in
charge, while others whisper that some
thing is wrong; that some one has been
tampering with the regulators in order to
cast odium on the officers in charge, who
were but recently installed into office. An
Investigation will be had in the matter
and The Sentinel correspondent guesses
that something sensational will develop.

KILLED BY HIS FRIEND.
a Hunter Is Mistaken for n Deer and
Shot.

FARMLAND, Nov 3-Special.-Uriah
Garringer, a wealthy farmer living four
miles north of town, is a noted deer hunter
and has been accustomed for many years
past to spend several weeks each fall in
the wi.ds Of Michigan in search Of game.
He started on his annual visit last week
and arrived at Clarion, Mich, where he
was Joined by other friends, among whom
was John Smalley of Petoskey. the same
state. In high glee, and with the ground
covered with snow, the hunters started
out the next morning 10 lay in their usual
supply of venison. They soon struck a
trail of three deers, and, following it a
short distance, separated in order TO cover
more ground. After following a single
track for some distance Mr. Garringer,
who is a noted shot, saw some bushes in a
thicket moving and patiently awaited the
cause. Shorty he noticed what he thought
was the rump of a deer and fired. I'm
the ground and yelled, 81 am shot! l am
killed. Fastening to his side, Mr.. Gar
ringer was surprised to see that he had
mistaken the body Of Mr.. SmaEey for that
Of deer and sent bal crashing through
it. Aid was soon called and the wounded
man conveyed to the residence of his son,
who lived near by. Mr.. Garringer was
frantic with grief over the affair, and so
raved and carried on that physicians sent
him home for fear Of his losing his mind If
not removed from the scene He is now
at his home, but is so deeply affected that
his friends and neighbors fear the worst.
Mr. Smalley made a statement before his
death generating Mr.. Garringer from al
blame. He declares he viii never use a
gun again, and has offered to pay al the
expenses Of the burial Of his dead COM
rade, who was a man of small wealth.

VICTIMS OF HYPNOTIsAI.
An Old CoIOred Lady Secures n Large
Amount of Money.

RICHMOND, Nov. Special-There
has developed here what IS believed to
be a clear case of hypnotism, the object
OF which was 10 secure money.
There is an old coIored lady living in
this city named Mrs. Maria Coleman, who
IS quite a character. She is very illlterate
and can neither read nor write. but she
makes considerable money by telling for
tunes.
Several months ago Mrs. Coleman con-
ceived the idea Of founding a sanltarium
IN which her patients could be received
70 obtain her peculiar sort Of treatment.
She had no hospital. but that was an
obstacle not hard for her to overcome
She was doctorlng Mrs. Hannah A. Shat
tan Of Centerville, who seems to have had
great faith IN her. Not only did she have
faith, but her sister. Mrs. Laura S. Stod-
dard a lady Of much wealth, also seems
20 have had great faith, for, on making
known to Mrs. Stoddard her plans for
founding a saaitarium, that lady engaged
20 give her the necessary financial back
ing. Mrs Coleman bought lot here for
81 500 and took the deed in her own name,
and Mrs. StOddard furnished the money
20 pay for 1t. Soon after getting the lot
Mrs Coleman bought an organ and gave
q
for it, and then gave Mrs. Stoddard
second mortgage for 81 500.
II was estimated that II would cost
$1,000 10 build the sanitariun, and a
scheme was evolved 10 get this money
from the Wayne building and loan asso-
citation. In order 70 get the money Mrs.
Stoddard and her Centerville friends
agreed to take seventy shares Of stock
IN the building association, and 1t was
TO furnish s. 900 in cash. The necessary
papers were made out and the loan was
about 10 be made, more because Of the
financial standing Of Mrs. Stoddard than
anything else, but, on making an investi-
cation, the company withdrew all the
papers and declared that the loan would
not be made.
1t is said that Mrs. stoddard claims
that Mrs Coleman has hOodOoed her into
paying for the lot; that both she and her
sister believed every tale the colored
woman told, no matter how improbable.
She told them that there was a keg OF
gold buried under the house;
that it was necessary to move
the house to get il; that this
necessary TO move the house, that this
would require money. and ii seems that
they believed this tale, It being one reason
for the advance of money made TO her.
Mrs. Coleman has been representing
that she IS a catholic and that st. Mary's
catholic church was supporting her in
her plans, but these claims are shown to
Ia FALSE

LADY DEPUTY RECORDER.
Some Question Has Arisen to Her
Eligibility.

MUNCIE. Nov. H.-Special.-The ap-
pointment of Miss Isabel Lockwood to the
Office Of deputy county recorder is at pres
ent attracting much attention in Muncie,
and Judge Rooms will be called for a rul-
ing as to the legality Of the appointment.
Miss lockwood is a very attractive
young lady, aged twenty-sx, and for ten
years she has acted as clerk in this office.
Yesterday the newly-elected recorder,
Ruben Thompson, took charge of the office
and he al once appointed Miss Lockwood
as his deputy. She took the oath Of
office, swearing loyalty to the constitution
Of the United States in the regulation man
ner The law of Indiana says that a
deputy 10 a county or state office must
be a citizen Of the United States. 1t also
says citizen has right TO vote at all
public elections. This privilege is not
granted women in Indiana, and there
comes the technical point.
Mr.. Thompson IL willing to make test
case Of this and Miss Lockwood Is willing
TO be the subject for trial.

OUTCOME OF A MOCK MARRIAGE.
An Anderson Girl Brings Shit Against
Cortland VanRiper.

ANDERSON, Nov. 25.-Special.-A SEN
sational suit was filed in the circuit court
last evening by Miss Victoria, beautiful
young lady, against CORTLAND VanRiper,
charging him with seducing and otherwise
debauching her by the means OF mock
marriage. The affidavit AYERS that in
1890 he induced to her to elope with him
to Bluffton. There a marriage ceremony
was performed. After living with her
two weeks, he disappeared. An investiga-
ton showed that the marriage was a
mock one and that no license had been
issued for such a union The justice of
the peace who performed 1t turned to be
a fake. She prosecutes for criminal con-
wilton and damages.
