INDIANAPOLIS , IND. , Nov. 25.
Vicc-Prcsident Hendrioks died very
suddenly at 4:30 : P. M.
.BLEEDING KANSAS is enjoying a
"corner" on murder , and crimes in gen
eral , these days.
EDITOR KING of the Red Cloud Hel
met , was fined $100 and sentenced to
the county jail ninety days , by Judge
Gaslin , Tuesday ol last week , for an as
sault on Dr. Denny of that city. The
assault grew out of a petty dispute over
a certain scat at a hotel table. King
evidently deserved his sentence.
XOT long ago King Milan set out to
lay waste the country ofhis enemies.
Now he is back in the old territory , and
glad enough to receive money and cigar
ettes from his friend , the emperor of
Austria. The money will be devoted to
the necessities of the Servian wounded ,
but the disposition of the cigarettes is
not so plain. They must be the Bulgar
ian' atrocities we have heard so much
about. Kansas City Times.
Is it not strikingly suggestive of good
taste , and indicative of a noble , but rlly
understood sentiment , which for con
venience is styled consistency , and has
it not withal a mead of humor through
out ? This gem from ] 3ro. Eainard ,
whderstwhile , was a good republican :
We are in receipt of the Funias County
Democrat. This Democrat rejoices to see the
advent of tnie democratic journals in the
great Republican Valley. There has been : v
large field for these papers here and they are
being supplied. The editor of the Funias
county paper is a reformed republiean-greoi-
back-anti-monopoly-prohibition-aiid-tlie-
- - - -
Lord-know.s-what-not , but all these will be
forgotten if he stands by the colors he now
professes. Although he has not , possibly ,
"been tried by lire , " he may make as good a
democrat and conduct a democratic journal
ably. Time and conduct will be the true test
of his democracy.
THE grand jury , which has been in
session at Omaha , adjourned last Friday.
The following is clipped from its report
on the Simmerman case. Savillc'scon-
duct is attributed to his ignorance of
the duties of his office ami his reliance I
on Burr's statement. Sheriff Schars is
condemned as totally ignorant of his du .
ties on the premises :
' 'Regarding the conduct of L. C. Burr ,
the only other officer of this court whose
conduct is involved in this inquiry , " con
cluded the report , "we have to say that
while we agree that his actions are to be.
condemned , we disagree as to whether
his conduct was or was not wilfully
wrong. We have no doubt hut that Sa-
ville in granting the writ of habeas cor
pus and disdharging Simmerman on bail
acted without jurisdiction and his or
ders arc nullities ; and a thorough"-
amination of the question by Mr. Bun-
ought to have convinced him that Sa-
ville had no jurisdiction over the crime
of Simmerman. His conduct was not
becoming , and is not to be commended
or followed as a precedent. There be
ing no violation of any federal statute
we have taken no fuller cognizance of
the matter. "
ONE of President Arthur's messages ,
says "Carp. " was stolen and published
a day or so before it was delivered in the
house. There have been a nnmber of
instances of such steals in the past.
Grant's lirst message was read by all the
countr } ' a da } before congress met and
one of the messages of Mr. Hayes was
bought for $1,000 of a printer by sev
eral newspaper men and was in the
hands of their respective newspaper
readers long before the message had
been sent to the senate. The printer
had intended to sell the message to tfie
N. \ . Tribunebut , he got into the Times
office here by mistake and the Times cor
respondent made up a combination which
was to pay him § 1,500 for it. This
combination embraced the Cincinnati
Enquirer , the Chicago Times and. the
N. Y. Times. Each was to pa } $500.
The Chicago Tribune correspondent
in New York bought an early copy of the
Times and telegraphed the message to
his paper , so that the Chicago Tribune
had the message at the same time as
the Chicago Times. This led Editor
Storey to refuse to pay his $500 and the
printer received only $1,000 , from the
Enquirer and New York Times. The
last of Arthur's messages were very
carefully guarded , as were also all the
messages of Grant after the one stolen.
Mr. Cleveland is very cautious about
having anything get out to the public
before its time , a'nd it is hardly proba
ble that there will be a premature pub
lication this year.

Again in theToils. .
It is with no little feeling of regret
that we are called upon to note the down
fall of a young man in whose future in-
tegrity we had large hopes. Frank
Wood is again in the toils of the law and
bids fair to visit our state penitentiary.
Fonu * yours ago , Frank went to Iowa , ,
and while there , it is said , took a horse
that did not belong to him and for which
he served a term at Anamosa. While
there he became acquainted with one
Pattison , a crook , who figures in the
present scrape. When Frank got out at
Anamosa he returned to this place ,
claiming that he had been wrongfully
used by a relative and that he desired
to once more be looked upon as an lion
cst man. He went to work and bv in-
*
dustry and straightforwardness in his
business transactions had already gain
ed the 'esteem of his old neighbors to
such an extent that by universal con
sent the Iowa matter was wiped off the
slate and Frank once more stood a man
among us. To add to his standing , he
recently married a very estimable young j
lady and brought her here toMivc. But
! the spirit of gain had brought him un
rest and he went to Iowa where he met
Pattison and detailed to him the fact
I that one Frank Mullery owned a fine
! quarter section of land near him in this
county. . It was agreed between them
that Pattison personate Mullery and
deed the land to Wood. Accordingly i
they went to a justice of the peace and
Pattison under the name ot Mullery ex
ecuted and acknowledged a deed to the
land to Wood. Both parties then re
turned to this county Wood filing the
deed for record and making through
'Messrs. Grubb &r McCollister an appli-
! cation for a loan of $ oQ07jPending this
Win. Barber , who resides near and has
had charge of the land for Mullerygot
wind of what was going on and under
took to find tha latter but without suc
cess as he was off at work on some now
railroad. lie finally succeeded in ob-
scrviyg the signature to the deedwhicl ,
being unlike Mullery's handwriting lee
him to the conclusion that the deed was
a forgery. Ho therefore exauirncd th
hotel register at the Sargeawt hnus
where Pattison had registered and foun <
the handwriting identical with that o
'
the signature on the deed and notificc
Grubb & McCollister not to make th
j loan , and swore out a warrant-for the
' arrest of Wood and Pattison. At the
hearing before Judge Ashmore on Fri
day , both paities were bound over to
district court. Wood in $500 and Pat
tison $2,000 bonds. Weed confessec
the whole transaction and chargedthat
Pattison was to blame for it. Wood also
gives out the fact that Pattison was in
life pen in Iowa for counterfeiting and
from an authentic source it is learned
that preparations were being made to
carry on that business again , in fact ,
that at least a part of the materials had
been purchased.
. NOTES.
Sheriff Welborn took Pattison the
forgor down to Lincoln Saturdayreturn
ing home Sunday evening. Frank Wood
gave bail and is out.
Reports on Tuesday morning were to
the effect that Frank Wood had skipped
the country. His bondsman W. E.
Wibndurst demanded of the sheriff to
be released , but the sheriff informed
him that it would be necessary to pro
duce Wood at his own expense before
he could be released from his bond.
Courier.
THE Atlanta Constitution errs when
it says that "this country is in its 110th
year , and in all that time there have
been only three instances in which father
and son have held seats in the United
States Senate. " It cites the cases of
the Bayards , of Delaware , where grand
father , father and son were chosen to
the Senate , and Georgia and Pennsyi-
avnia , where the Colquitts and the
Camerons furnished father and son as
Senators. Our Atlanta contemporary
overlooks the one entirely exceptional
case of the two Dodges , father and son ,
who sat in the United States Senate
together , the father representing Wis
consin and the son Iowa. The nearest
approach to the Dodges were Benton
and Fremont , father-in-law and son-in-
law , the former representing Missouri
and the latter one of the first Senators
from California. There is , we believe ,
only a single instance of one man repre
senting more than one State in the
United States Senate , and he was the
late General Shields. He was first
elected , for a full term by Illinois , but
declared ineligible bccans not natural
ized the necessary period. He was re-
elected , admitted and served his term of
six years. Some years thereafter he
served an unexpired term as Senator
from Minnesota , and his last official
service was a very brief term as Senator
from Missouri. Times.
