Note TO Travelling Watch Sellers.
a special from Lskeville to the South
Bend Times, dated March 1, SAYS:
Joseph Hsss, one of this locslity's
honest farmers, was bunkoed into sign
ing note for sos last week.
A sharper srrived at his home and
informed him that he was selling
watches in order to help out friend
that was overloaded and told him that
he would sell him elk watches for S21
and if they were not sold when they
came around sgsin they would take
them up. He handed Mr.. Hsss a con-
tract duly sealed in an envelope and in
structed him 10 keep IL until tbs
watches were delivered and after the
scoundrel had departed Mr.. Hsss
opened the letter aud found that IL
called for six dozen watches at $500.
AS he had not signed anything be
was not alarmed. But the next morn

the watches. Mr. Hsss informed him
that be would have nothing to do with
him. but the sharper informed him
that he had become liable TO tho
government for opening the envelope
that had contained the contract left by
the first sharper. The party said that
he was deputy sheriff of st. Joseph
county and TO avoid any further
trouble, if Mr.. Hess would give him
his note for sos he said he would not
press the prosecution, and woulc give
him two watches.
Mr.. Hsss would not have yielded but
his wife was so alarmed at the charge
of breaking the seal on the contract
that to please and quiet her fears he
gave his note. He should have used
his gun on the scoundrel.
The South Bend banks were notified
and they say the note cannot be col
lected as there was no value received.
1t is hoped that this is true as Mr..
Hsss can lily afford TO lose it.

The snti-trading stamp bill failed to
pass in the senate, not because it was
not a meritorious measure, but because
of the power of the trading stamp
lobby. Every possible scheme was re

through the senate. Otner pressure
was brought to bear to defeat the bill.
The physicians bill came before the
house on fret reading Tuesday and the
motion to postpone indefinitely failed
by q vote of 90 to 35.
IL is likely that a couple hundred
bills will fail to pass because of the
fact that adjournment will come before
they can be considered.
