see no reason why the entire democratic
ticket should not be elected and 1 believe
that IL Will. The farmers are outspOken
in their condemnation Of the repeal Of the
school book law, the new tax law and
other laws passed by the democratic leg
islature, and fear the success Of the re-
publican ticket will bring about a repeal
Of the same and will not vote the ticket

John Wilson, who resides on Smokey
row. demanded Of the authorities yester-
day that his wife be put under police sur
VIGILANCE to prevent her from running
away with another man. Mrs. Wilson re-
turned Saturday from a visit Of several
weeks in Jennings county. She told her
husband that she had no more use for
him and that she WAS going TO leave him
and had best not make any fuss about it.
She confessed she loved him no more be-
cause her heart had gone out 20 Frank
Van CleVe. whom she met in Jennings
county. Wilson learned that they were TO
elope this morning at 8 o'clock. This hour
rolled by, but the alleged despoiler of his
domestic happiness did not put in an APP
pearance, and probably 1t was best for
MIN, as Wilson was prepared TO give him
a warm reception II is understood now
that Mrs. Wilson has changed her mind
about leaving her husband and that they
VIII continue to live happily together Will
son says that they have been married for
the past five years and this is the first
storm that lowered over their household

Another case where the ties Of matri-
mony have proved a certain failure was
made known this morning. when Nettie
r. Williams filed necessary papers with
the county clerk asking for divorce ana
alimOny from her husband, Christy Will
Jams. The plaintiff states that she and
ChriSty decided TO live this life as one
about April, 1887. During the time Of
their living together affairs have not pro-
crossed with serenity. and, according to
the plaintiff, Christy caressed her in any
thing but a fond manner. Upon divers
occasions he has cursed her and called
her names that would not sound we'll in
print. That he drove her from his house
on Feb. last and that since then she has
never resided in the Same house with
Chrsty. He also inserted cards in tho Rich
mond papers notifying all persons not to
give her credit on anything whatever.
Since the separation he has not furnished
any means for her support. The plaintiff,
therefore. upon the strength OF the fore
going argument, asks divorce, custody
of children, and further requests that she
may have alimony decTeed I'm her favor
in the sum Of 1O0O.-Richmond Item.
Timothy Haughey and his long haired
fouUteen-year-old son, residing near Six
Mile Switch, were in the city Saturday. The
teacher of the public school which young
Haughey attends has made objection to
the manner in which he wears his hair,
and has threatened to eXpel him unless he
has 1t shorn. The visit Of the father and
SON To the city Saturday was for the pur-
pose Of inves tigaung the authority of the
teacher in demanding the cutting Of young
Haughey's hair. In all Of his fourteen
years shears have never been applied to
his flowing locks, nor will he permit them
to be. His father has attempted on sew
eral occasions to cut his hair, but the lad
was so vigorous in his remOnstrances that
the parent was forced TO desist Mr..
Haughey has two sons. both of whom
wear their hair long and viii not permit
1t to be cut. The entire family live like
heI1nits in a small house near Six Mile
Switch. They removed TO this locality
from Steuben county about thirteen years
ago. The father is quite an intelligent
man, and in fact the entire family are
above the average in intelligence. Their
mode of living has excited comment in the
neighbWhood in which they reside. They
raise but little on their farm but fruit, and
not a great deal of that, and seldom go TO
market. They all enjoy the best Of health

An attempt at robbery near Rosewood,
Harrison county, was skillfully frustrated
on the night OF the 18th, by the bravery
and quick wit Of a young woman. Peter
Stewart Is a day laborer and lives with his
sister on farm near Rosewood. He is
very industrious and practices the most
rigid economy. and by his frugality has
saved up quite snug little sum of money.
Instead of putting his money in bank,
Stewart made his deposits in an old violin.
on Wednesday night three men called at
Stewards house during his absence, and
when the sister came to the door in answer
to their knocks, she was tod by one Of the
men that they had called for Mr.. Stewards
violin. as they were going to play for
dance that night, and that he had sent
them for it. The men were all strangers
to Miss Stewart and she did not like their
looks. but she showed no traces of her
suspicious. and quietly informed them that
she would bring the instrument at once.
Instead, however, she entered rear room,
where the instrument was hidden, and.
gathering it up, dashed through the rear
door and over to her fathers house, on an
adjoining farm. The violin contained over
$500 and the men knew it, and had Miss
Stewart showed any signs of suspicion Of
the men, they would have forcib.y COM
peeled her to give 1t up, and might have
murdered her. The littls community il
all torn up over the affair, and much
speculation Is INDUCED in as to who the
would-be robbers are. They were evidently
acquainted with the fact that the old
fiddle contained money, and this fact ought
to afford a clew that would lead to their
detection. Stewart has put his money in
| bank since.-New Albany Ledger.
