The Chesterton Tribune tells us that
George Adams, a resident of Chester
ton. resolved to quit drinking, and
agreed with Tom Shay that if he in.
dulged in the ;iery poison during the
year 1896, that he would forfeit to Shay
his wife and home. The new year had
not been an hour old before Geo. forgot
his pledge and was getting outside of a
glass of tanglefoot when Shay caught
him. Adams was as good as his word
and gave up the keys to his home. Now
Shay is having Satan's own time getting
possession, as the wife won't ratify the
bargain.

axe in each hard with a decidedly un-
pleasant suggestiveness. The interview
didn't result very favorably and the
trustees came back to discuss affairs
with the preacher. They wanted the
latter to go ahead with the meeting.
and he was not anxious to do so.
At last he started for the pulpit.
Canaan came toward him, dragging one
axe, and poked his forefnger against
the dominie's bosom as he asked, Are
you goin' to preach here tonight"
The preacher replied that it depended
largely upon circumstances.
The equivocal reply didn't silt the
llan with the axe, and he intmated
that Mr.. Rittenhouse was losing faith.
Mr. r. did not deny this, but went
back to the stove to get warm.
Again he asked the trustees to remove
the insane man and his beheading out
lit, and again they declined to force
themselves upon Canaan's attention un-
necessarily.
Then the ire Of the preacher rose, and
lie left the church, while the meeting
was called off, much to the evident dis
appointment of Mr.. Canaan.
So far as Rev. RIttenhouse was con
cerned, that ended the series of meet
ings in Fairvlew ch lpeI. There resides
local preacher in the community how
ever, who took up the work and is
carrying it on. lie and his wife are
among the firm believers in the theory
that Canaan'S strange actions are the re-
suit of the Lords working directly
through the young man.
Canaan did not bring his weapons to
church last night. His father had been
sent Tor TO attend the meeting with him,
and apparently eXerted a quieting in
fluence upon him. lie remarked how
ever, that his purpose OF Saturday night
had been defeated, and that he would
attend to it later on. So that the at
tendants on the meeting go each night
with a pleasant sort of unwholesome
expectancy which adds much to the in
tereSt of the occasion.
In all seriousness, it seems to THE
INDEPENDENT that the neighborhood
Of Bourbon is criminally negligent to
allo = this man to 60 about free to carry
out any insane idea which may chance
to attack him. He is evidently insane
at least, mentally irresponsible, and for
the general safety of the community
he should be taken into custody before
he does anybody an injury. 1t is a
serious mistake in such case TO wait
until some person is attacked and
wounded or killed before the unfortu-
nate cause is deprived of his liberty.
We believe that Rev. Rittenhouse
did exactly right in declining 10 enter
the pulpit or 60 Oh with the meeting
under the circumstances. The excite
ments effects upon the young mans
mind would probably have been to pre-
cipitate matters and possibly lead
to tragedy.

Nicholas Klughardt, of south Bend,
went To Chicago to stay over Sunday.
Sunday afternoon he attended the
matinee at the Olympic theather with
the friend whom he was visiting.
One joke which came from the stage
amused Nicholas especially and he
laughed quite violently. Shortly after.

friend, left and walked along Clark
street. Near Madison street he was
taken with "a hemorrhage thought to
have been induced by his hearty laugh.

Madison street, with the blood pouring
from his mouth.

lie was taken TO the morgue, and TO.
day the remains were brought 10 South
Bend for interment. lie was % years

The dead man had had "a bad cough
for several years, but he had never been
so bad as To take TO his bed. His face
showed the symptoms Of consumption.
Tuberculosis had doubtless eaten its
way to the proximity of an important
artery. The cold weather made his
condition worse, and the wrenching
which his lungs had been given by his
laughter had completed the work of
destruction.

We commend the following extract
from the ST. Martinyille Messenger to
our Police Jury. The ordinance is ex-
celIent, and wonld be quite as Gpropos
in st. Landry as it seems to be in st.
Martin:
At the suggestion of Mr. l.. G.. Du-
champ, foreman of the Grand Jury, the
Police Jury at ifs session Monday has
adopted two good measures; one to
have mile post planted along all our
public reads, Indicating the distance to
and from all places in the parish; and
the other compelling persons giving
balls in the parish to obtain permit
from the Justice Of the peac OF the ward
to give such balls, and that the balls be
guarded OF policed by the constable of
the ward. Both measures are good, and
the latter will probably save a good
deal OF money to the parish. because
the country balls, white and black, are
always a source of trouble and breach
of the peace.
