The Big Four railroad is being closely
boycotted by the merchants and bust
ness men of Colfax. short time ago
a system of inter-locking switches were
completed at the crossing of the Big
-Four and the Michigan division of the
| Vandalia road. Since these switches
were put in operation the fast trains
on the Big -Four, and the most conven-
lent ones to indianapolis and Chicago
do not stop. This want of recognition
on the part Of the Big Four manage
ment IS considered rank injustice by the
! business men and they have accordingly
thrown all their business to the Van
dalia, which road crosses the Big Four
at that place.

The Auburn Dispatch very truthfully
remarks: There never was a time
when there was greater need of hon
est and sterling manhood in young men,
or men not yet passed middle life. The
| courts are crowded with criminal cases
| and the penitentiaries are running over
with young men. There is too much race
| track, too much gambling, too much ig-
norance, too much getting something
for nothing in the minds of young men
| to produce the ideal manhood. The
young man who will succeed i'm the
twentieth century is the one who is
| pushing, honest, thorough and consci-
| entious; the one who is determined to
win by fair means and hard work"
Mr.. Robert Fisher is "agin" smoking,
and about Jan. 1, 1898, when he saw his
young friend, Elmer CHM. with a cigar

IF you will stop smoking for a year
| I'll make you a present OF a turkey"
| said Mr.. Fisher to CHM. ''Pll do it,"
and from Jan. 1. 1898, to Jan. l, 1894, the
| noxious weed ne'er found lOdgment be-
tween his maxillaries. And as result
| early New Years day Mr.. Fisher was at

and assist in discussing the bird after it
had been stuffed and Drowned and made

II he fc will IN

| met with a serious and painful accident
Tuesday night. In company with his
| father and others he went out COON
| hunting, and game being freed, the par

| had taken refuge. The tree was a dead
one and as it fell a large limb broke

the limb of another tree against which 1t

Miss Stella Colby was admitted to the
! bar of the Lake circuit court last Fri
day by Judge Gillet Miss Colby is a
general favorite among the legal frater-
| nifty here and she will doubtless prove
| a bright and shining star in the law
| armament. This is the second lady ever
| admitted in Indiana and she has the
| honorable distinction Of being the first
| lady lawyer to practice in the Lake cir
| cult court. The News extends its heart
| lest congratulations to this bright and
| successful member Of the gentler sex
| Lake County News. The News is mis-
| taken as to Miss Colby's being the sec
| ond lady admitted to the bar IN Indiana.
| She has been preceded by two others
| at least. Clay county has the honor Of
| having admitted to the practice of the
| law the first female member of the pro-
! fession in the state. But success to Miss
| Stella.-Brazil Democrat.

vey too freely. The Chicago parties
