BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1900 Hon. Robert G. MILLER, Republican candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, has returned to his home in Bloomington, after a thorough canvass of the county. He prophesies a Republican majority of 1,000 in this county. Charles R. GOWEN, who has been working for the Charles McDONALD Stone Co. at Cincinnati since July 19th, running a planer, arrived home Wednesday forenoon, to remain until the election and vote for McKinley. He may return after the election and work for the David HUMMELL Building Co. Charles M. DODD, of this city, has received a letter from John SCHAFER, dated San Mignel, P. I., Sept. 16th, announcing the capture of his brother, Taylor DODD, in a squad commanded by Sergt. RYAN, which had been sent to Manila for supplies, and was gathered in by the landrones on the way back. The men of Taylor's company say he is not dead, and there is good reason to hope he will be released. 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.

The Kentucky Game Law has been sustained by the Appellate Court of that State, as the Indiana Game Law has been by the Supreme Court of Indiana. The Kentucky case was carried up on a case from Louisville, in a suit against the Chase-Davidson Company for having quail and selling them during the closed season. By the decision of the Appellate Court the firm has to pay a heavy fine and all the costs, which are large. – New Albany Ledger.

LANNING, Cashier of the Citizens Bank of Salem, arrived here Wednesday afternoon, in a buggy, accompanied by his wife, and left next forenoon for Bloomington. Dr. LANNING and wife are touring through this part of the State for pleasure and to visit their friends. 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. DIEDRICH was a bad man, and people at the springs were afraid of him. He was in the habit of making threats, and on the day of the killing is said to have threatened to "kill about 15." 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.
