While crime has been steadily on the
Increase in tho United States the past
shree years, it is a significant fact that
~lynchings and mob law have just as
steadily decreased. There are about half
as many suicides annually as murders.
and in 1895 to 1O,5OO murders there were
5.7S9 suicides and III .lynchings. 1t is
quite probable chat the extremely hard
times of recent years has had something
to do with the increase of crime.

to oppose the action of government.

Slkillful Treatment.

DIR. France, of The France Medical
Institute, Physician and Surgeon, by
request of his many friends and pa
tients, will make return visit to
Napoleon Thursday February 18th
where he can be seen at the Miller
Hotel, from a. m. to p. IN. One
day only. The doctor is meeting
with gratifying success and we advise
the afflicted to consult him on above
date of his visit. His speciality is
chronic diseases, and diseases of the
eye and ear, and he gives his entire
attention to the successful treatment
of these complaints. His success is
due to a thorough knowledge of the
human system, gained by an extern
sive hospital experience and careful
study. Health is as important as life,
and no invalid who values health can
afford to lose this opportunity of OBJ
tanning his skillful treatment. Con-
sultation free and strictly confdetial.

Like an Electric Current!

The reason kissing is so pleasant,
says an oscular expert of scientific
tendencies, is because the teeth, jaw
bones and lips are full of nerves, and
when the lips of persons meet an elec-
trio current is generated.-Y Yonkers
Gazette.
Yes, and it is confounded cheap.
You don't have to have a dynamo
machine, nor button to touch to
ring up the central office, and there
is no patent on it, and the poorest
person in the world can enjoy the
electric current better than the mil
lionaire, and it never gets out of
order. If Edison had invented kiss
ing, it would cost one hundred dol
lars a year like the telephone, and
then extra kissing would be charged
up extra, andif you did't pay for it
they would take out your kissaphone
and disconnect you from the central
office.

Fishers congregation, have pur-
chased the Geo. Eggers' property,
corner of Clinton street and the Bry-
an Pike, with the expectation of
building thereon q new and modern
church edifice in the near future.
The st. Paul congregation has been
growing to such an extent that it be-
comes necessary to have larger

affords. Mr.. Eggers will vacate the
property in the fall to occupy his
fine new residence on the Adrian
Pike, when operations for the new

evening by Sheriff Pender on com
plant of 13-year old Flora Parker,
for rape. He was taken before JUS
tice Hague Immediately and plead
ed guilty to the charge. He was put
under $500 bond and upon failure to
furnish it, was lodged in jail His
trial will come off at the March term
of court and it will likely go hard
with him, as the penalty for rape is
from to 90 years in the penitenti-
ary. Judge Sheets is also known to
be very severe in these cases, and
young Mann has probably seen free
dom for the last time for a good
