having been exposed about two weeks

The bluff did not work worth cent,

TRUSTEE A DEFAULTER.

The Importance of Publicity Is Illustrated.
John B. Conner, chief of the Indiana
bureau of statistics, says one of the I'M
pOrtant reasons for publicity in public
expenditures is illustrated in the re-
cent default of township trustee in
Harrison county. In his report to the
bureau of statistics, as shown in the
last report, he failed to state anything
as to outstanding warrants or township
debt, but did report that he had on
hand Q balance of $500 and over
This raised the suspicion that some
thing was wrong when the bureau re-
port was published and went into the
hands of the people of that county. As
result of these features of his report,
and with q knowledge that there were
outstanding warrants. it is announced
that he has defsulted for 81, 200. With
out such publicity this and several
other recent and similar cases might
have gone on for years without public
knowledge.

BIG VOTE

Will Probably BE Cast in Ohio. Nov. Z.
Columbus, Oct. 3l.-RegistratiOn in
the cities indicates that there will be
more votes cast in Ohio, next Tuesday,
than in any previous year in the states
history, barring 1896.
The total registration in Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo was
l95, 1876, an average of nearly IL per
cent over 1898. About 81 per cent of
registered voters vote on election day,
so these cities should cast about III, ,549
votes, next Tuesday. The four cities
cast about 20 LIZ per cent of the vote
of the state. This would indicate a
vote of 925,6OO, an increase of 61,57s
over 1897, and l32,43l over 1898. In
Cleveland there was gain of 5000, and
in Cincinnati over 5000 All three can.
didstes claim this in their favor.
1t is commonly claimed that Jones
will get three republican votes to two
democratic ones. At that rate, If he
should receive 10000 votes, which now
does not seem unreasonable, it would
mean a net loss of 10000 votes to TN,
republicans, which would wipe ou
Bushnell's $4,000 plurality. However
at the republican headquarters, private
figures place Nash's plurality at 10000.

A Remarkable Rat Story.

Rev. K. +. Helms, editor of the Lowell
Record, prints the following remark
able story: In the neighborhood of
Burley, Lake county, the other day, a
gentlemen looking over a wall saw a
dead hen in the field. Presently rat
ran up, snuffed at the defunct fowl
with much satisfaction and went away
in some haste. The onlooker, who is a
student of natural history, knew what
that meant and removed the hen from
the spot, hardly expecting, however, to
soon witness demonstration of lynch
law among rats. In minute or two
the rat came back with a half dozen
friends, with the evident intention of
removing the carcass for future use
Arriving at the spot where the fowl
had lain, the rat raised loud squeak
of astonishment at it's absence. In a
trice the other rats fell upon him SO
savagely that they left him dead on the
field as a warning not to play practical
jokes with his friends.

ladies had been told to bring something
to eat, and they were to keep it secret
AS the numbers were called they were
to serve what they had brought. After
every three courses the feasters arose
from the table and danced around it.
There were number of excellent
toasts, song or two, and several
speeches during the "feast." After
supper, Halloween tricks were tried
and all sorts of fun was in order until

ing this year from the fact that the
democrats have q boiling candidate in

date, is making a hard fight and will
probably win out, though the demo.
Gratis who thought they were mistreated
in the convention are very bitter and
are leaving no stones unturned to
accomplish his defeat. Bryan was
called into the state and did much to-
ward wheeling the boilers into line, but
whether or not Goebel will be the next
governor of Kentucky can be better
prophesied after next Tuesday. Goebe
is claiming his election by $4,000 major
ity. but the republican candidate is pos
tive that he will be the next governor.

true figures, special care should be taken
to keep crop records this year, and thus

1t is said that within the range OF
possible consolidation is that of the ex-
press companies. This would be more
fsr-reaching aud important than the
recent sleeping car combination. as ex-

road companies, as in the sleeping car
franchise, get very little return for their
part of the work.
