day to see Committeeman Durbin, with
view to getting ex-President Harri-
son to visit that section of Indiana
during his stumping tour of Indiana.
Mr.. Durbin could do nothing for them,
because he had received General = rri-
sons ultimatum that his tour must be
confined to four days, and the route
decided on is considered by the Nation
al Committee to be the one where the
most good can be done.
The delegation brought the news that
thirty days private poll shows a net
gain Of y 900 in fifty-four counties over
the vote of 1892. The gains in the re-
naming thirty-eight counties are es-
$4,000. to offset the 1000 Democratic

| desire to call attention to the new
compulsory school law of this state,
which compels parents and guardians
of children between the ages of eight
and fourteen To send such children to
school. There is number of such
children in this school district who are
not attending school and whose parents
make all manner of excuses for such
nonattendance. Education is the basis
of good citizenship and ought not To be
neglected. The snow and cold weather
are nearly gone and | trust this notice
will receive prompt attention. An ex-
ira effort will be made To have every
child of school age enter the school on
the first day of the approaching spring
term. Books are furnished by the
board of education when such action
seems To be necessity; lack of clothing
is no reason for keeping children from
obtaining an education, as there is a
way provided to procure needed APP
parel when parents are unable to get

school and an active, pains-taking board

rare privilege to send their children to
such school, rather than TO he COM
PEELED to do SO, which they certainly
will be if they neglect this duty the

We should Judge man by his
deeds more than his words; yet
when we find a man who talks
understandingly about his bust
ness we are pretty safe in think
ing that he knows his business
thoroughly. When a business
house tells in a plain, simple,
straightforward way what it ex-
poets to do, what it has to sell,
and how it intends to sell it, we
feel confidence in the ability of
that house to make good its
word. Take, for instance, K.
Smith & Co. They say plainly
and forcibly there will be value
given in the latest styles of spring
suits from now on at our store.
They don't tell you that there
will be great slaughter sale of
clothing, or that goods will be
sold twenty per cent less than
cost, but "there will be value-giv-
ing" Everyone who reads that
sentence knows there is a reserve
force back of it the deed will be
more than the words; all the
strength is not wasted in blow
and buster. Be fair with your
self; see what your dollars will
do here, that's to the point. You
have our word that we'll give you
values; now come and see
whether we do it or not; don't
buy unless you want tc, but come
and see. This is the kind of a
merchant that pays the people to
patronize.

. wrote letter the other day
which cost Richland county 800" said
prominent attorney of This city on
Monday last The particulars, as told
TO representative of this paper, are
interesting and depict sad state Of
negligence on the part of one old man
well known ia this county. and blum
der on the part of one of the county
officials of Grant county. Some TWEEN
ty wears since the wife of the old gem
tleman referred to was ad iudged insane
and sent to state asylum at Mendoza
Here her condition remained unchang-
ed, she was pronounced incurable and
and as the years passed by she seems
to have been all but forgotten bv her
lawful husband and so called protec-
tor Some time ago he had occasion
to deed piece of land in which she
had dover interest. This he found
he could not do without an order from
the court, if his wife was alive.
Being questioned he admitted his ig-
norance on this point, had made no
inquiries for years, and apparently but
from a business point didn't care whe-
Their she was dead or alive. He dele
ated the attorney to ascertain the
facts and his inquiries have resulted
in bringing to light another peculiar
state of affairs. He addressed letter
to the state asylum asking about said
neglected wife, which was forwarded
to the Grant county asylum. The Off
cials of said asylum promptly respond
ed with the desired information, stat
ing that the patient was an inmate
there and physically well, but mental
ly the same as for years past. She
had been transferred from the state
asylum in January. 1891, and through
an error of the superintendent had
been entered on the asylum books as
Grant County charge The letter
stated that this correction would be
made and bill presented to Richland
county for reimbursement for care OF
such charge County asylums are al
lowed 800 per week for care Of each
inmate. half Of which amount il paid

Shocking Accident
fConcluded next week.l

A frightful accident happened to
Earl Irish, son Of Will Irish, in this
city last Sunday. The boy, who is / 2
years of age, was playing with several
of his fellows in Nathan's barn trying
to shoot sparrows with bow and ar
row. Hanging in the barn was a
heavy hay fork and when Earl was di-
rectly under it, from some unknown
cause it broke from its fastenings and
pinned the boy to the floor of the barn.
One prong pierced his right forearm,
another caught the thigh of the left
leg tearing an ugly wound and
passing on struck the calf of the leg
which it pierced to depth of three or
four inches Another projection
struck the right hand in the palm
making a deep cut.
1t was with difficulty that his fell
lows could remove the fork and re-
lease the boy from his perilous situa-
ton.
DR.. Cronin was called to dress the
wounds; after taking seven stitches
and applying the necessary court plas-
ter and bandages as only a skillful
physician can, the victim of the acct
dent found himself comparatively
comfortable The little fellow is get
ting along well and hopes to be ont
again before very long. The wonder
is that he was not hurt worse.
