BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1900 A Repentant Sinner. Bushy, Kansas, Oct. 17, 1900. Editor MAIL. I am glad to read so many of my old comrades' names in your paper. I voted for Bryan once but will not this fall. I read his book or life since I voted for him. I never was a Democrat of his views altogether. I voted for Lincoln in 1864 and cheered him at Sam SHORT's cow barbecue at Bedford, and James GILES with me, old soldiers at home. I was present when we found the Sunday school books at Indianapolis.

BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1900 BROTHERS FIGHT And Then One Of Them, Carl King, Tries To Kill Himself. Carl King, aged 17, who works at the Bent Wood Works, had a fight with his half brother Monday. Neither was seriously hurt, but Carl brooded over the matter and finally concluded that life was a hollow mockery, and resolved to kill himself. He bought 15 cents worth of morphine at MITCHELL's drug store, went out to the home of Jesse CHAMBERS, whose wife is related to him, and took the drug, at 12:30. It was some time afterward before the folks discovered his condition, and nearly an hour before a physician was called in. Dr. STIPP was summoned, and found the young fellow unconscious, and scarcely breathing. He was pumped out, revived somewhat and stands a fair chance of recovery.

BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1900 Lynwood's Fast Mile. Lynwood, the horse owned by SHORT & ZOLLMAN, made a remarkable performance last Friday. His trainer, Frank PITMAN, drove him at the Bedford Fair ground. Lynwood paced a mile in 2:13 ¾ and a half mile in 1:04. This is by far the fastest mile ever gone over on the Bedford track by a home horse, and considering the fact that Lynwood is a green horse and has only been driven part of this season, is phenomenal.

Mrs. COLGLAZIER went to Orleans, Monday, and will offer a reward of $100 for evidence that will convict the culprit. Campbellsburg Graphic.

The doctors of the city are experiencing an epidemic of catarrhal jaundice, of which a number of cases have been reported. The disease is infectious, the germs existing in the air, presumably, as they may cause the disease without actual contact of the patient with persons suffering from it. It causes a yellowish tinge of the skin, with a similar coloring of the whites of the eyes. Slight fever develops and many people credit their symptoms to those of malaria. Catarrhal jaundice is severe enough to warrant the calling of a physician to treat it and cases ought not be neglected. Greencastle Banner Times.

It is not probable than anybody will ever be brought to trial for the killing of Howard DIEDRICH, better known as "Jober" at Indian Springs Saturday night.

On the night of his death he was drinking heavily, and went around with his shotgun in a menacing way. After he had fired the gun twice, either over or at the crowd, four shots were fired at him with pistols by two men, each firing two shots. At the Court of Enquiry none of the witnesses could identify these two men, very strange to say.
