THE GHOST WILL NOT DOWN.
A Grewsome Tale of Weird and I'm
canny Manifestations Comes
From Big Lake.

n most remarkable tale has reached
us from across the country in which a
ghost that should have been at rest for
twenty years or more is the chief object
of attention.
1t Is said that twenty years ago, or
thereabouts, Gottlieb Hastings, of Big
Lake, committed suicide by hanging.
" hat led to this act Of self destruction
we do not know, but old residents of
that vicinity remember the circumstance
well and v0uch for its truth IIasllng-
er's house stands yet, except for the
wearing influences of time, much as it
did when he, as Mr. Dennis. the hang
man, would have said, worked himself
off,, but no echoes are awakened in the
empty rooms by human footsteps. 1t
is peopled with ghosts.
1t seems that IIaslinger's ghost will
not down and as a commanding spirit
it has surrounded itself with legion of
other shadowy and impalpable forms
whose nightly revels have made the liv-
ing tremble with fear and mysterious
dread. Lights can be seen flashing
about the old house from half mile
away. Bloody ropes are drawn back
and forth across the roof of the house
by invisible hands in such a manner as
to produce most unearthly and heart
rending sounds. Cory heads and ghost
ly faces play hide and seek about the
hooks and corners of the old place.
Gaunt figures in white flowing robes
march with stately, measured tread
around the house, or sometimes assem-
BILE round a pile of human bones and
sing chant SO wierd and awful that
those who have heard it have fled in
frenZied terror Skeletons dance and
fit about the place. Screams are heard
sometimes which are said to invariably
merge into deep, heart-rending walls
like unto those of spirits that are lost.
These walls finally die away into op-
pressive stiffness which is sometimes
broken by sharp, piercing cries of de-
spair accompanied by groans of agony
and cries of supplication.
All these things have impressed those
in the vicinity of the haunted house not
little. The supernatural manifesto
tions are said to be growing in frequen-
cy and it is feared the neighborhood
may soon be rendered uninhabitable by
these ghostly visitations.
Henry Stein, of this city, owns the
property adjoining the place of the
haunted house.

chair and picking up an extra bed cover
threw it also on the chair to get it out
of the way. This was all done thought
lessly, but no doubt was what saved his
money, for the burglar passed right by
the chair and grabbed his sons pants,
which contained no money at all. From
there they went to the Colonade where
they secured $500 from Mr. Wills, the
agent Of the Heinz Picking Works, and
$500 from a Mr.. Nalandenham, of In
dianapolis.
They were evidently after the propri-
etor who, it is generally known, usually
carries quite sum money on his per-
son, the room they entered first be-
ing the one usually occupied by him, but
had leen given up to Mr.. Nalandenham
SO that he might be next to his old
mother.
There is, as yet, no clew, but indica-
tons would point to some one pretty
well acquainted with the places.

Left For Parts Unknown.

For some time past there have been
rumors floating about, of malpractice
on the part of DIR. +. ID. Snyder of Burr
Oak, which finally eliminated few
days since in a warrant being sworn
out for his arrest on that charge. The
warrant was placed in the hands of an
officer and he went there to serve it on
the doctor but did not find him, he hav-
ing come to Plymouth that day.
On returning he found out that an
officer had been there after him, and inn
mediately set to work, packing his
goods and taking his family, departed
on Friday night when friends and
neighbors were all asleep, no one knows
where, and as yet nothing has been
heard of them.

The Indians Massacre.

1t is wonderful how report will
grow until its proportions are unrecog
nizable by the originator. 1t is thus
with the late report regarding the re-
ported massacre at Jackson Hole. The
Record of yesterday puts it about right
when it says.
ut is painful and sickening to reflect
that while United States troops are
scurrying TO the protection of the white
settlers at JackSOn's Hole there was no
arm of authority anywhere raised to
protect the wretched little group of In
dians who, in their ignorant obedience
to instructive traits, trampled upon
some of the settlers laws. If the gov
ernment is not TO rebuke cruelty TO a
dying and helpless race, deep will be
the shame and ineffaceable the STAIN
\ great deal of nonsense has been
said regarding the depredations COM
mitted by the Indians of late years, and
in more than one instant have the facts
in the case been similar to those reported
from Jackson Hole. There are in the
western country class of men to be
met, who under certain circumstances
are to be dreaded more than the poor
Indian. 1t will be observed too, that
the ones who raise the loudest cry re-
garding Indian outrages, are those who
will profit in some way 10y the EXTERN
nation of the Red men.

Religion and Liberty.

! The essence of religion is liberty
\ ct it must be admitted that with most
of the churches which are supposed to
be the proper eXponents of religion
there is but little of the spirit of liberty
federation is very different thing
from liberty. The object of church
services of any kind, and of the efforts
of preachers, religious teachers and
church organizations is the saving of
souls as it is popularly designated, OF
in other words, to make men better.
But there is so much denominations
aliSm and concurrent selfiShneSS OF
opinion that souls are not saved. If a
man is in the Catholic church in Kan
katscha or Greenland, ConstantinOple
or Chicago, he is admitted to the church
everywhere. But in the various de-
nominations of the PrOtesent church
they busy themselves quarreling about
the sO-called fallacles and heterOdOX
beliefs as they are persistent in de-
nouncing the damnable heresies of the
Catcholic church. Mr.. HOlyman, who
is Methodist, firmly believes and oS-
tentatiously declares that his neighbor;:
Mr.. Easyman, is only not orthodox,
but an infidel because he is Universa-
list. and thinks everybody will be saved.
The spirit of the times of the Inqu-
isitiOn still prevails much more than
casual observers are wont to think.
Tho man who looks upon his neighbor
distrustfully or fiercely, because of a
difference of religious conviction is as
much of prosecutor at heart as the
wicked Jesuit priest, who stood glee-
fully by to see a Protestant stretched
on the rack in the time of the Inquisi-
ton. OF course there are no racks or
boiling oil and the stake is out of fash
ion.
But there is denominatiOnal rancOr
and bitterness which renders null much
of the earnest zeal for good. The pill
grim fathers are said to have brought
to this land church without bishop
and state without king.
We demand freedom in politics. The
state and the nation in strict conform
ity with this view, Ordains absolute lib
erty and equality. This liberty ap-
plies to ones religious views as well as
to his politics. The American doctrine
is freedom in politics, freedom of all
the faculties of all men, and freedom of
the mind and soul and perfect religious
liberty.

Robberles at Marmont>
Tuesdays Daily.

1uesudy Ddly.
Meagre particulars have been received
today of robberieS at the Lakeside and
Colonade Hotels last night, evidently
the work of the same parties as the two
robberies occurred only a short time
apart. Dan Walters, the proprietor of
the Lakeside, was awakened by hearing
some one in his room, jumped out of
bed and the fellow ran, grabbing Mr.
Walters sons PANTS as he went. He
must have been disappointed when he
came to examine them for the pockets
contained nothing of any value. Mr..
Walters and his son slept together and
on retiring Mr. Walters laid his pants
as he supposed on chair, but they slip
ped off falling partially underneath. In
the pocket was S7200. lie then hung
his coat and vest, in the pocket of which
was $500, on the back of the same

Cheap Mirrors.

A new application of cellulose has been
found in the manufacture of unbreak-
able mirrors. Cotton stuffs, treated
with nitric acid and camphor givesplen-
did smooth surfaces, which can be easily
silvered over and then covered with a
very thin layer of transparent cellulose.
1t is said that excellent and very dura-
BILE mirrors are obtained n this way
and it is promised that we shall thus
soon have cheap curved mirrors of as
Economical instruments. If SO, they will
be useful in condensing the rays of the
sun and in serving many other purpoes.

O'BLENIS IS A FAVORITE.
Committed to Jail in d Default of Bonds
But is Not Locked Up.

1t is fact which has excited consid-
erable comment that r. C. O'Blenis who
has, in default of $500 bonds, been
committed to jail on serious criminal
charge, is not in Jail. OBlenis is the
peoples prisoner, committed by the peo-
pie to a place specially provided, by the
people, at much expense for the safe
keeping of those who, for the preserva-
ton of law and TO the end that justice
NAV he done, must be detained and
safely kept.
IfR. C. O'Blenis has passed his word
to Sheriff Smith to remain a prisoner
without the restraint usually put upon
prisoners he may do it but, aside from
the fact of his increased chances of es-
cape should he change his mind, which
is not impossible, the law does not con-
template that prisoners shall be so in
name only, or that they may attend
Sunday sports or walk the public streets
in apparent freedom, neither does it
contemplate that one prisoner shall en-
Joy greater liberties than another.
All is well that ends well and while
it is presumable that Sheriff Smith feels
a certainty that O'Blenis will not betray
his trust the sheriff's option to extend
such cOurtesies to prisoners is not only
questionable but the example IS bad
and the object of the law by which
prisoners are committed is in measure
defeated.
1t is true that O'Blenis assumes to be
confident that he will be acquitted but
if the case of the prosecution should
develop so strongly against him as to
make conviction almost certain he
might conclude it a good idea to walk
away, and, regardless of whatever con-
sideration he might otherwise, as pris-
oner, be entitled to for any reason the
ground for such consideration would
disappear the instant he could give
bonds and refused to do so. He claims
that the matter of giving bonds is op-
tiOnal with himself. If that is true and
he does not wish to remain a prisoner
he should give bonds and so gain his
freedom as the law requires.

The Harvey Horr Debate

Yesterday ended one of the greatest
debates of modern times. Whether the
contest has made many converts to the
two sides represented, or not, one fact
has been demonstrated, and that is that
each of the debaters handled his side
in an able manner.
The friends of both contestants assert
that their favorite had the best of the
argument. But there is in our mind
not the slightest doubt that w. II. Har-
yey scored the most points in the con-
test. Mr.. Horr, while a brilliant ora
tor, failed to produce the effect his ad-
mirers thought he would. In the most
of his answers when pointed question
would be asked by his opponent, the
tendency to treat the matter more as a
joke and evading square answer was
demonstrated several times when in a
close corner. In the debate on the crime
of 1873, Mr.. Harvey, notwithstanding
the efforts of his opponent to evade the
facts, drove him to the wall.
While we are willing to admit that
Mr.. Horr represented his side of the
question in logical manner, yet the
proofs of his position were not forth
coming. The newspapers that have
desperately endeayored to poison the
minds of the people by their burlesqu-
ing have failed utterly, and the good
seed sown in this debate will germinate
into rich harvest.

The great Barnum and Bailey show
will be located on the Fair Grounds for
its exhibitions in Plymouth next We'd
nesday. That it has lost none of it's old
time prestige and superiority to all
tented shows is proven by the follow
ing testimony of the Detroit and Toledo
papers, both of which cities it visited a
short time ago, just before it entered
upon the tour of Canada which it COM
pletes today. "All in all" said the De-
troit News, "from beginning to end,
the Barnum and Bailey Show proved its
title to the name it has copyrighted, and
it outclasses any of the shows that call
themselves competitors from the very
start The Detroit Evening Journal
said: There can be no doubt in the
mind of any person who witnessed the
grand spectacle OF the parade this morn
ing, or its excellent performance this
afternoon that it is honestly entitled to
the name it bears. When a comparison
is attempted between this show and the
smaller concerns that claim to be COM
petitors, the vastness of the Barnum
and Bailey institution is only more
clearly demonstrated. 1t is but fair to
MIR. Bailey to say that his enterprise
and business sagacity have enabled him
to bring together this season by far the
most extensive and interesting enter
tainment ever seen in Detroit" The
Detroit Tribune devoted column and a
half to the big show, and remarked
that "This circus keeps pace with the
times and that is one reason why the
present features of the Barnum Bailey
Show may be talked about at length
without the charge of threshing over
old straw The Detroit Free Press
said: "Of the circus performance itself
only one criticism can be made; there
is such an overwhelming abundance of
it that no one pair of eyes can take in
all the strange and interesting sights,
nor one pair of ears catch all the un-
wonted, exciting and confusing sounds.
Magnitude is its key nOte." OF the
menagerie the Free Press said: "Such
fine collection of animals has never
been seen in Detroit, and the Ethnolog-
ical congress, with its exhibitions of
strange dances and oriental ceremoni.
ais, is in itself splendid attraction"
The Toledo Bee said of the great Bar
num- Bailey Show: "Facts are facts, ard
it cannot be cOntroverted that the Bar
mum and Bailey organization is by far
larger, more comprehensive and better
as an amusement enterprise than any
competitor that shows under canvass"
The Toledo News said: "All Toledo
saw the biggest of big shows yesterday.
The Barnum and Bailey show kept all
Its promises faithfully, and gave much
more than advertised in every way
All this testimony is directly to the
point, as it is given in regard to the
great show which will exhibit here ex-
actly as it was shown in Detroit and
Toledo

A Description of Culver Academy.

EDITOR lNDEPE d EN- NT:-Thlnking
that perhaps a description of Culver
Military Academy would be acceptable
to your newsy little sheet, l send you
the following:
Culver Military Academy, so named
after its generous founder, Mr.. III. II.
Culver, of st. Louis, is situated IN a
beautiful park of three hundred acres,
enkuckee. The park contains fine
course for cavalry practice, halfmile
and quarter tracks for bicycle and
Sprlntlng races, laWn-tenniS courts,
baseball and football grounds, six flow
ing artesan wells, and an abundance of
large shade trees. 1t is in consequence
an ideal spot for military Academy,
The new Academy and dormitory
buildings, now nearing completion, will
be one of the finest structures of the
kind in the world. 1t is to be entirely
fire proof, constructed of stone, brick
and steel, finished in hard wood, heated
by steam, and lighted by electricity
1t will have hot and cold water baths,
lavatorieS, and all modern toilet con.
yenences, such as are found in first
class hotel.
The Academy is established on sys-
tenn that combines military instruction
with thorough academic training. The
superintendent, professors, and cadets
constitute military corps, with mill
tary government and discipline. A
high standard of scholarship is required
of all, and to this end the military sys-
tenn has been found to be most con-
ducive.
Northern Indiana may well feel proud
of Culver Military Academy.

They would have been well invested in
these proposed Improvements. General
Improvement cannot be achieved with
out enhancing the value of individual
property interests. Improvements of
this kind are the means that are given
property owners of adding to the val

doubt that the street paving and sewer
improvement would. when done. have
added at once double their cost to prop

improvements were proposed 1t is the
liberal policy in these matters that is
sure to win. There is nothing like lib
erality and push to show the good faith
OF citizens in their city and to inspire
faith i'll others. Without these qualities
being manifested there is no use to in
vite ambition and energy and capital
from outside for they will not come.
Every municipal or private dollar in.
vested in reasonable improvement is an
interest bearing dollar. Such dollars
are not invested in vain. They are like
bread cast upon the waters. They will
return in multiplied numbers. With
this pavement and sewer improvement
done it is doubtful if those whose mon
ey had been used to do it would sell its
benefits for five times its cost. If this
matter can be re-considered it should
be done at once to the lasting benefit of
all concerned

some Desirable Changes Being Made by
Ball a. Carabin.

Ball a. Carabin.
Within few days this enterprising
firm will commence remOdeling and
renOvating the large store room occu-
pied by them, on scale that, when fin
ished, will leave nothing more to be de-
sired In the way of neatness and con-
venience for dispatch in taking care of
their already large and growing busi-
ness. Beginning In the basement a
thorough cleaning will take place, fol-
lowed by re painting and papering.
This room will be occupied with full
line CT carpets, mating, oil cloth, cur
tains, ETC., when completed.
On the ground floor the walls divid-
ing the three rooms now occupied, will
be removed, small iron pillars at an
equally divided distance apart replacing
them, thus throwing the three rooms
into one. New shelving and fixtures
throughout will replace the old ones
and large circle counter will occupy
the center Of the room.
y handsome new Office with cashiers
desk VIII occupy one corner. The stair
way leading from Michigan street to
the second floor will be taken out and
replaced by one In the rear. Three large
windows will be cut in the east wall to
furnish additional light and the whole
store will be re-painted and papered.
When these improvements are COM
pleted it will make one of the finest and
most convenient stores in the city. The
firm are to be congratulated on this
spirit of prOgressiveness, and no doubt
will find it paying Investment.
