Notwithstanding his condition, which

man was dumped into cot and started
north on a long and tiresome journey.
When the train arrived at the crossing
opposite the Chicago house in the south
part of the city, it was stopped and the
prisoner was taken to the hotel Suisse
uuently a livery hack was brought into
service and MurTy was taken TO the
prison. He was scarcely able 10 move,
and had TO be carried TO his cell. The
officers seemed TO think that the prison
er was shamming a little, but prison
authorities are convinced that he IS IN
a bad way, as he undoubtedly IS, and
the act of bringing him north seems pre-

Thursday night of last week and robbed
Of $3.50 almost at his own door. lie had
taken a lot Of fattened hogs TO Bur-

money Of which he was robbed in pay
ment for them. He reached home
shortly after dark and just as he sprang
out Of his wagon TO open the gate was
seized and gagged by four men. He was
hurriedly searched, the money removed,
and revolver, which he carried in his
inside pocket, thrown into field near

Furgeson has grown up from small

1t would seem that a number of bar
naceles of both parties in this county
who bob up every time there are any
offices in sight, are again Seeking nomi-

with their opportunities. 1t would be
better for some of them if they have re
spect for themselves TO take a long rest.
or abandon office seeking altogether.
Many of them will have their usual
luok-defeat--and it is all right they
should. The perpetual office seeker soon
becomes an object Of contempt, the same
as a professional beggar.-Crawfords

One evening the last Of the week the
Democrat man overheard a highly en-
pertaining, if somewhat explosive, con-
versation between two young ladies or
girls and d young man on 5. Main-st.
| AS nearly as we could understand the
situation, the young man had followed
the girls from town, or at least had
thought he had and they had stopped
to read the riot act to him, which they
did in a very fluent manner and in
tones loud enough to be heard two
squares. The alteration attracted the
attention Of a number Of persons on
the street at the time, who stopped TO
listen 10 the racket. 1t is extremely
doubtful, girls, whether the reputation
of anybody, man or woman, is improved
by standing on the street corners and
proclaiming how good it is. The young
man was very naughty, of course, If he
Intentionally followed you, but it would
have been far wiser for you to have
gone quietly home, or about your bus
mess, at least until mOlested, than TO
stop and engage in wTangle on the
public street. 1t is not a. mark Of good
breeding or mOdesty to be ready TO re-
sent an affront People who go about
looking for trouble usually find it, We
do not intend this as any justification
Of any man, of any age, who will offer
an indignity to a lady, however, but
simply mean that the lady should be
quite sure she has been affronted before
she dignif1es the act by her notice
Starke County Democrat
Some time ago a young man named
Gallagher bought out the stock in trade
and good will of a barber shop in Van
Vert, O. Among the cups and razors
were some bottled snakes preserved in
alcohol, as well as a tape worm pre-
| served in the same way. The barber
| business not paying as we'll as Gala
CHER desired, he set about raising cash
by other means. AT first he was at a
loss how to realize on his assets: but
| being a man very fertile in resources.
| and resolved to make that tape worm
pay for its keep. So he put it in his
grip and started out on his travels in
search of wealth. About
week ago he arrived in Decatur
and claimed to be an oculist He
| treated Miss Jackson here in town and
also a Miss Bowen, and told them they
had tape worms. His medicine, so he
claimed, brought forth the worm. He
was called to see Miss DOllie Corbin and

DeVilbiss and Mrs. John T. France
were present He gave the patients a

| had them use a bucket instead Of a reg
ular vessel, first putting warm water in
| the bucket. The room was darkened and
after the operation, he took the bucket
| and started toward the light being
watched very closely by the ladies pres

| him drop something in the bucket and
heard it strike the bottom. On examin-

was the same tape worm that he used
| in each case brought with him in his
| grip from VanWert. With this sort of
| material on hand most any one not a

1t is said that he victims paid the bo-
