Indiana Notes.

ELKHART.-Elkhart is now entirely free
from smallpox, for the first time since the
middle of May, when a young man who
had returned from a Western mining town
was found to be suffering from the disease
after he had been allowed to m1ngle with
the public generally for a week or ten
days. Two other outside sources of con-
tagion were developed during the seige,
one case being brought here from Chicago
about thirty-1ve cases, all of a mild type.
VALPARAISO.-Not a day passes that
the local authorities do not receive from
one to half a dozen reports of horses and
vehicles being stolen from points in Porter
county. and almost as many notifications
of similar thefts are received from the au-
thorities of adjoining counties and even
from Ohio, Michigan and Illinois towns;
There is every indication that an organized
gang is operating through the territory
mentioned.
S~EYMOUR.-A soldiers reunion is in
progress at Brownstown and will continue
over Friday. State Commander Milton, of
Kokomo, was among the speakers Thurs
day and Lieutenant Governor Gilbert will
speak on Friday. A reunion of the Twen-
ty-second Indiana Regiment is being held
there during the general reunion.
MAYS.-Frank Adams, of Lewisville,
aged twenty. while helping Charles Stew
art slaughter beef on Thursday was acct
d~entally shot by Stewart. A rifle ball fired
by Stewart glanced from a steers skull
and struck Adams in the chest. INJECTING a
severe but not necessarily fatal wound.
FORT WAYNE.-Judge Aiken, of the SUI
perior Court, has refused habeas corpus

Henry County Veteran Suffers Loss of
n Considerable Sum.

KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind, Aug. civilian
Simmons, a veteran of the civil war, re-
turned from a visit in Jennings county last
night and found himself poorer than when
he left by about $500. simmons boards with
the family of Lowry Lewis, five and a half
miles northwest of this city. He has been
in the habit of keeping a considerable sum
of money about the house. He had about
$40 in his trunk in his room when he left
last week to visit relatives. Some time dur
ing Saturday or Sunday night, 1t is pre-
sumed, thieves entered the house in the
absence of the Lewis family and made
away with the money.
Some of the money was In old coins, and
a few of them were worth considerably
more than their face value. Most OF 1t was
in half dollars and the rest I'm silver dollars,
gold and paper. When the Lewises dis
covered the loss they at once notified Sim
mons, but he stayed until he finished his
visit. He has money in the bank, he says,
and will not worry about the missing cash.
There is no clew to the thieves, although
1t is presumed they must have known
something of Simmons's habit of keeping
money about the house.

Archbishop ChapeIle's Mission.


People who knew the present archbishop
of New Orleans as Father Chapelle, of st.
Matthew's, Washington, were not sur
prised when he was sent on his mission TO
the Philippines. They remembered his tact
and suavity-a suavity exceeding that of
Mr.. Gorman-and they thought Rome's
choice a natural and wise one. Perhaps
anybody else in his place would have been
as unsuccessful. One can imagine the
Spanish bishops and provincials at Manila
receiving the American prelate with all the

sonal representative, but with distrust in
their hearts, telling him that, of course,

The result OF this decision is that In

Carr's decision was expedited by a letter

General Taylor, demanding that the clerk
comply with his order that the law be

matrimonial runners swear to the ages of
people whom they have never before laid
their eyes upon, and the first acquaintance
they had with them was when they stepped
from a ferryboat a few minutes before in
search OF a magistrate TO marry them.
Many times ii has been proven that the

indictments are now resting against sew
