In strange contrast with the reports
of great progress and increased re-
sources throughout the state are the
exaggerated reports about settlers sald
to be starving for the necessarles or
life, which have ben set afloat by pre-
sumably well-intentioned but poorly
informed persons, who have imagined
what they have not seen. There nave
been newspaper comments about some
Russian settlers in Wells county. one
of the counties for which statistics are
given; but the Harvey Herald pub
lished in that county, says there is no
foundation for the reports. IN tact. otn-
er than some one, for sensational pur-
noses. started the cry. 1t is charged by
the Harvey Herald that the re"orts
were probably set going by certain
Young woman who was anxious to pose
as a good Samaritan" The Herald
further says: MANY of the new set
tiers are in bad shape financially, on
account of the expense of starting IN
farming and the light crop. but they all
have plenty of food for themselves and
their stock, and will be all right in an.

claims for 81 500, which was used
in stamping out smallpox in the city

the equity of the claim. Dr. Evans
told the delegation that he could hot
refund the money. as the State board
did not have the money to pay, end
as they interpreted the law, were not
responsible It is likely that the
matter will be brought before the

The supreme court OF Indiana in a
recent decision has laid down the
law pretty broadly fixing the respon-
sibility of saloon keepers in damages
&c the innocent victims of the liquor
traffic The facts ip the case are
that George Hosmire of Lebanon
went home in an intoxicated condi
ton and picked a quarrel with a
boarder at bis house Hosmire was
peaceable and kind when sober. but
when intoxicated was i'll uatured.
The night he went home he had been
drinking freely and his wife alleges
that John Hoffman, the saloon keep
er. sold him liquor after he was
intoxicated. He killed the boarder
and was sentenced to the peniteDtiary
for life His wife then brought suit
against the saloon keeper for $40 600
damages She lost it in the lower
court on demurrer. but the supreme
court reversed the judgment. The
court held that showing by the
wife that the sale of liquor to him
while intoxicated sufficiently estsb-
fishes the fact it caused the imprison
ment and the wife's consequent loss
of support The cours held that only
two facts are necessary to be shown
to establish the liability Of the saloon
keeper in damages, first the fact of
intoxication caused by the sale of
liouor and the second is the loss of
support in consequence of such in
toxication And the court further
SAYS that this is true "whether this
loss of support rs di.ect or remote
result of such intoxication !" 1t is
very important decision and will have
tendency 10 promote temperance
by making saloon keepers more care.
ful in selling liquor to men already
intoxicated Our own courts might
take a hint from this decision and
hold the bondsmen of some of our
dispensers liable where they are
guilty of selling liquor to men al
