IS 4 BIGAMIST.
The Charge That Is Made
Against Steuben-
Vile Man.

Richmond, Ind, Aug. 11.-Miss Mary
Miller and James l.. Richards, of Steu.
benville, O., were married at Martins
vile June 2, and brother of the
bride, John w. Miller, now claims
that he has secured evidence that
Richards is uigamist. 1t is said
he had been married twice before he
took Martinsville bride. He married
Miss Price, of Muncie, in May of last
year. He lived in indianapolis for a
time after he married Miss Miller,
whose brother says Richards will be
prosecuted.

How a Trust Grocer
Controlled the Price
of Potatoes.
West .Enders pFilched
of a Neat Sum in the
Way Of Profit.

Moser, of the grocers' trust, who
does business in the west end Of the
city, seemed to feel that he was still
protected by the trust and had his
store open Sunday, as usual. The
trust, according to its constitution,
guarantees to defend any grocer who
is prosecuted, and the constitution is
silent as to the character of offenses.
So Moser probably thinks he is to
be put to no expense IL he is arrested
and that the trust will foot his bills.
Lawyer Hawk was very solicitous
about the Sabbath day, a short time
ago, but seems to have lost interest
since it has been-shown that members
of the grocers' trust have been keep
ing their stores open on Sunday and
dong the very things that they re-
Gently had other grocers arrested for
doing. He knows that Moser keeps
open on Sunday and Moser doesn't
deny 1t. In fact he admitted 1t to the
News-Democrat recently. Mr.. Hawks
duty in the premises seems plain, mas
much the evidence is at hand.
A TRUST SCHEME.
People in the west end of the city
are talking about the trust everywhere
they meet. The interview in. the
News Democrat, with John G. Dueber,
opened their eyes still further to the
evils growing out of this illegal COM
bination. One west end man, speaking
of the operation Of the trust, stated.
Saturday, that he knew OF one in.
stance where the trust kept up prices
of potatoes. He said that a woman
brought about twenty bushels OF po
tatoes to town and was selling them
for 81 bushel. A trust grocer ha... d
of it and went to the neighborhood
which was getting the advantage Of
this rate. She had sold several pc ,ks
at 25 cents peck, when he came along
and offered her $1.15 bushel for the
entire lot. She took the money and
he got the potatoes. A little later I.e
was selling for 40 cents a peck, the
potatoes that the woman could have
sold to householders in the west end
of town for 25 cents peck. He got
65 cents q bushel profit as fast as he
could sell the potatoes, and they went
fast, for they were scarce. On tho
IS bushels the woman had left, his
profit was Just $l1.70, which money
would have been saved to the people
of the end of town in which she was
selling them. 81,

HICKS ON sHPrrmBnR.
The weather Prophet Makes His
Predictions for Next Month.

Rev. Ira Hicks, the weather pro
phet who predicted the weather for
August with remarkable accuracy,
prophesies variable weather for
September. The autumnal equinox
central on the 22nd, covers the
whole month with its perturbing in
huenoe, he asserts in his forecast,
and as q result storms and changes
peculiar to the season are apt to
break out at any time and sure to
break out at some time during
the transitions Of the seasons to op-
posite ends Of the globe, or in the
equinoctial period proper.
Warm and dry periods will pre-
vail throughout September. The
first regular storm period will be
from the 10th to 18th. "In all
probability general rain storms,
gales and changes Of weather will
visit the interior of the continent at
this time, as we'll as the coast re-
gion."
The reactionary storm period,
central about the 18th and 18th, will
bring perceptible changes to storm
conditions, but more general and
energetic disturbances are almost
certain to result during the Vulcan
storm period, central on the S2nd,
coinoi1ent with the centre of earth e
autumnal "equinox. The final
storm period reaches from the 26th
to S0th.
Glancing ahead into the weather
conditions of 1902, Rev. Hicks be-
lieves that we shall not pass out of
this period of minimum" precipi-
tation with bound, but that "a
shortage in general rains, to less
destructive extent" will be oharao
teristic of the coming year. He
believes that the train belt" which
touched the extreme north in 1900,
and moved further south in 1901,
will advance further southwark in
1902, but that the rainfall will not
be excessive even there, and that the
central and southern parts of the
country will have another summer
of shortage of rainfall.

The bugaboo of a European alli-
ance against American goods leads
some folks to think we must do
something or other and that maybe
we can get out of it by enacting the
reciprocity treaty with France
Their position reminds us of the
"debilitated cousin" in Dickens
story of "Bleak House." A murder
had been committed and the astute
Inspector Bucket had arrested a
man whom he knew to be innocent
in order to throw the real culprit off
her guard. Hearing of the arrest
the fatigued young man said
"Better hang him. Better hang
wrong Teller than no Teller.
Anything for a sop to a hungry
tiger Is the idea with these recipro-
Gators, even though it be the child
ren's dinner. But we didn't get
excited the tiger is not at large nor
very hungry any way. We will
make sure first that the children s
dinner shall not be thrown away
in terror of any tiger real or imag-
mary. And this allegory is com.
mended to all whom it may concern.

The Ballot and the Bullet.
MABEL


1t is no special credit to be a fight
or. Plug uglies beat philosophers
in fighting and the logic of the
argument is amusing, when the fact
is, that our regular army, our pro-
fessional fighters, cannotvote at all,
except by special act of congress.
Our fighting is done by paid sol
diers. Women help to pay them +,
and had we a voice in the nation
there would be few wars, for a
strong nation can preserve peace.
For every fighter some woman has
fought with death, she has been his
quartermaster, commissary, sur
geou, nurse, chaplain, drill-major
for years, and it is simple justice
that he should protect his mother
without depriving her of what he
would readily grant to his enemy
when conquered, self-government
If women had the ballot, they would
quell quarrels among big boys as
they now do among small ones, but
if not, what sense is there in dis
franchising because they cannot, or
will not, fight, and enfranchising
paralytics, the halt, the MANNED and
the blind? SARAH M. SEVERANCE.

If there is one thing more than
another that is distinctive of Wash
ington, and especially in the sum-
mer, it is the great freedom from
restraints imposed by fear of moles.
tation that women have on the
streets. They are treated with nm.
failing courtesy and consideration
at all hours of the day and night.
Ono of the peculiarly beautiful
sights of the city comes from the
number of women on the streets in
the evening bareheaded and in the
daintiest of summer dresses. They
go about unescorted and as uncon-
cerned as If on their own lawns.
But this Washington chivalry re-
oeived rude shock a few nights
ago when two young women were
accosted by a couple of men while
they were on a street car returning
from one of the city's most refined
suburban resorts. The men made
some sighting remarks, frightening
the two women, one OF whom was
hurt in attempting to get of the car
to escape from her tormentors.
Next morning the men were in the
police court, where a heavy fiue
was imposed. In passing on the
case the judge said washington
stands pre-eminent among the cities
of the United States as a place
where ladies may go on the street
cars and public highways without
danger Of being insulted by black.
guards, and the court is going tc
uphold the reputation of the city in
this respect "

"REMINISCENCES.

The twilight shades OF evening fall
As I sit down 60 write,
"While treasured dreams from Mem
ory's land
Come orowdlhg back tonight"
Twas years ago this Autumn dny,
We gathered round the hearth
Our CHEEKY votes filled the air,
And everywhere was mirth.
How innocent with childllke ways
We played-devoid OF care,
But now orr troubles we have met,
Our burdens we must bear
For loved ones dear have passed away
Are resting meath the sod
Awaiting still the Judgment day,
Our Savior and our God
And friends that once were dear TO us.
Have grown so strangely cold.
That I feel, as 1 sit in the gloomy room,
That my heart is growing old
But Fancy stlll portrays the scenes
That now before me loom,
And ohildlike faces seem to rise
In the dark and silent gloom.
There are pictures bright with Autumn
tints
In scenes Of long ago,
There are pictures bright with every joy,
And drear with every woe.
For some arc bright with the flush Of
youth,
On which rests no shade Of care,
While some are bowed with silent grief
And q crown Of thorns doth wear.
But Time speeds on with remorseless
wing
The year will soon be gone
And l, recalling Fancy's scenes,
Am sitting here alone.
In future years-but as to those
I'll now lay down my pen,
Perhaps the rast aud present years
May be forgotten then
But old memories still will linger,
And some pencil will portray,
In future, scenes OF the present time,
"Reminiscences Of today
MABEL.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1901-09-06

There is a lethargic reaction and a
general feeling of disgust arising
from the persistent efforts of the
yellow Journals to make political
capital out of the Schley court of in
quiry. Most persons who have
anything at all to say on the matter
regret the widespread advertise
ment that the papers have given TO
the case, and echo the sentiment of
Chauncey Depew, who has just re-
turned from Europe. He regrets it
on account of the serious reflection
on our navy. In Europe, he says,
1t is hurting the reputation of the
American navy among circles which
formerly had great admiration for
It. The victories over Spain, the
remarkable run of the Oregon from
the Pacific to Cuba, and perhaps
more than all the value set on the
naval writings of Captain Alfred 7.
Mahan have made all Europe look
on our navy with much respect.
But now these internal dissensions
are dividing opinion.
