The Natural Gas Company ter getting the council to grant an increase ef rates which brought the stock from par up to $1.74 sold out to an eastern syndicate. The direotots who were on the inside bought up all the other at fl.10 and made a neat thing on the swindle. The consumers are terribly Indignant and the local stockholders who helped to do up the consumer! are the most indignant of all.

The Logansport people escaped all this by having a fearless and honest council and a truthful and courageous newspaper. Logansport is the only gas olty in the United States that has been able to hold this gas monopoly level and the Journal wants some of the credit for it It did best and it hopes that the people appreciate the many dollars It has helped to save them. The Indianapolis News devotes three columns to the Lafayette swindle and promises more today. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. The latest in capes and jack, ets, at the New Fashion store.

H. GARDNER. Supt. Cats County Schools. Notice.

My wife having loft my bed and board, I give notice that I will no onger be responsible for debts con. traded by her. R. E. Councilman Dolan tlou of the Upon Which the Suit Will bo Buicd.

It was rumored yesterday that Councilman Dolan intended bringing an action againat the Chronicle for libel. A Journal reporter asked Councilman Dolan about It last oven- ing. Mr. Dolan said: "The Chronicle has been attacking me for some reason or other. I out off the Chronicle last fall in advertising my Opera House because I felt that its advertising did me no good.

As councilman I opposed a bill of $49 for legal notices which the city did not order in paper. I have suspected that the Natural Gae Company and the Ft. Wayne Electric Light Company-were also back of the attack on me. I have placed in the bands of my attorneys, Fansler Mahoney, facts upsn which to bring suit. I have ordered a suit for damages and also prosecution under the Grubb'S crim inal libel law.

The facts will be presented to the grand jury for their consideration. I have selected as a basis for action one of the many misrepresentations made. I have taken this because It makes the strongest and clearest case. I refer to the article concerning my action as a member of the School Board. I am charged with collecting some insurance, part of which I am accused of stealing.

The Chronicle says that suit was brought and that I was polled to disgorge part of this insurance. There was no insurance collected while I was a member of the School Board. I settled with W. H. Bring-hurst, my successor aa treasurer in full in 1875 when I went out and have his receipt for it.

My successor on the Board was sued for some insurance money be had collected and a judgment was rendered against him, but the money was collected after I went out and I knew nothing about it. The record of the Superior Court shows this transaction, and the Chronicle maliciously substitutes my name for that of another defendant io that suit. I had no connection with this matter in any form whatever and select It as a basis for action because the facts are all a matter of record and cannot be clouded or evaded. It is a case in which all the evidence shows that I had no connection with the transaction and for that reason It shows most palinly the misrepresentation attempted. For this reason I have selected this matter as a basis of action and I Intend to follow Hup." The Journal has examined the records and finds that the Chronicle has gotten the wrong party mixed up with this School Board insurance transaction, Under the Grubbs libel law the defendant must go to jail atd if the legal action ia taken the next number of the Chronicle will probably be issued from the county jail.

A GREAT OFFER- The Wompanr Will FurnUh Heating (for the Summer) at a Low Kate. The Logansport Natural Gas Company has caused to be published in its organ the following notice: This Is the last of the so-called winter months in the natural gas schedule. Both the rate established by the company, and which they are enjoined from collecting, and the old ordinance rate are the same in this respect. May- the first summer montbv Under the company's new schedule; heating stoves with No. 5 mixers will be only 50 cents per month from the 1st Of May until the 1st of October.

Under the old ordinance schedule the rate would be $1.13 per month. The gas company has charged in the seven months the full annual rate. Few people will want heating stoves In June, July, August and September, and the few dollars the gas company will pick up by a 50-cent rate will be clear gain over the old rate. This great reduction for beaters in the summer time looks like generosity, but it is really avarice, It is proposed in the hope tnat consumers will pay rather than go to the trouble of having gas sbut off. Who over heard of heating stoves in the summer time? This aO-centj rate is a bait to get a few dollars more than the annual ordinance rate, The Fire Lilt The fire department was called out last night by an alarm of fire on Toledo street.

The blaze was in George Copley's barn which was consumed, the flames rapidly devouring the structure. The loss was not great, $60 probably covering the loss. One of the boys at the North street engine house lost a coat at the flre or returning therefrom. He will be greatly obliged il the finder of the garment will return the same to the North street engine house. A ready-made wrap, and muslin underwear at tte price of PaUoe.

The Jnrr Still Out. At 3 o'clock this morning a telephone message from Kokomo conveyed the intelligence that tho jury in the Augusta Schmidt case was still out. It seems that some of the jurora wore conscientiously opposed to deliberating on the case on Sunday and thus twenty-four hours were lost in the case. Yesterday morning the twelve appeared In court and asked for further instructions upon the penalty for manslaughter. This would indicate, as it is Interpreted by the lawyers, to mean that they were at varfence between capital punishment, imprisonment for life, punishment for manslaughter or entire disagreement.

John Becklay, one of the oldest and earliest residents of Cass county, died at hie home in Royal Center very suddenly yesterday afternoon, aged 88 years. He had lived in Boone township since 1836, and was one of the founders of the town of Royal Center which was founded more than fifty years ago.

Be died at a ripe old age, full of honor and respected by all. A striking incident in this connection was a postal card received by the Journal Company yesterday. Mr. Beckley has been a Democrat for 88 years but in this card he announces that he had joined the Populists because his party hod departed from the prin- ciples of Jackson. The card ia dated "April 2, a.
