In looking over the list of candidates for tbe various offices to be filled this Fall we see no one for Recorder. New we would like to mention the name of Isaac Payne, of Perry Township, for that office. He' is well qualified for tbe position, and ia iocapsblo of earning a livlihood by physical labor, being so crippled that be can not walk without the aid cf crutches. Ho deserves the sympathy and support of the voters of Monroe county. Pkbbt. ROAD SUPERINTENDENT.

LOCAL AMD GENERAL.
Ab. Dowden of Clear Creek
township, is mentioned as a Democratic candidate fer Clerk.
Wm. H. Getzendancr bos secured back pension amounting to about $700. Prof. Ford, with a corps of able
assistants, has tbe contract at pres-
seot tor lighting city street lamps.
Wesley Acuff, weH known in
this place, died in Gosport, Thursday last. '. Under the new township trustees who are elected this year will servo four years, 'lis said. M. F. Dunn, Judge Pearson, Wm. McCord, Simp. Lowe, and a number of other foreign attorneys, were attending court last week. iliss Lee Oookerly, a former
resident of Bloomington, died of
consumption, in Greencastle, on. the
3d instant. After tbe township elections
comes the trouble in May, when three city councilmen are to be
chosen. Mrsarah E. May died at ber
home in Bloomington, on Wednesday night last, after a brief illness,
of brain fever, in her 4 1st year.
Mrs. Mullikin has purchased
tbe old brick, on Walnut street, known as tbe Lively house, paying therefor f 1,000.
On Thursday last W.A.Rogers
sold 160 acres of his farm, south
east of town, to John Moore, for 3,750 cash in hand. Elder I. N. Porch of this county, has been holding a series of meetings in the Christian Church of Mitchell, during the past week. Wm. Snider of Salt Creek tp. has sold bis 200 acres to 'Squire Stevens, for $3,200. Snider contemplates buying another farm this Spring. Matthews & Sons, quarry men, of Ellettsville, are building a derrick, which, exclusive of steam fixtures, will cost $1,500. It will move anything it can grapple. And now tbe city papers claim that the syndicate of capitalists is again getting a good ready to "push the Hervey road to completion!" They ought to be ashamed of themselves, pushing it so mush. For the fourth time in the past five years the safe in McFadden dt Urmey's dry goods store, Harrodsbqrg, has bcea blown open by burglars. There was nothing of value in the safe it had been blown open so often that the firm do not lock it, and the burglars might have pulled it open and saved powder.
Bloomington is said to have morphine eaters who at one dose lake a quantity of the drug sufficient to kill eight ordinary men. The negro conviet, Sam Meadows, was brought from the Penitentiary last week, to testify against James and Eckels, but the cases were continued till next term. James W.Cookerly Is announced in to-day's paper as an independent candidate for road superintendent in Perry township. Mr. Cookerly understands the needs of the people in the matter of roads, and if elected will do good work. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following named persons; Jacob H. Young and .Rosabella Baker ; Thos. J. Meadows and Malinda Ryan ; Wm. H. Bastin and Sarah E. Kendrick ; Lewis G.Walden and Mary J. Moore. Married, on Thursday nfbrning last at the residence of W. B. Hughes, Wm. Dayton, of Momence, Ills., to Miss Belle Winfrey, Eld. Philput officiating. Mr. Dayton is a prosperous farmer, and the young couple at once took train for their Illinois home. Frank Voss, brother of Ben. Voas, and a gallant soldier of the rebellion, died at his home in Leavenworth, Kansas, on the 31st ult. He was lying sick at bis brother's house in this city about a year, it will be remembered. A pest house is to be erected west of town, within tbe corporate limits, by the city authorities. It should be attended to promptly no telling how soon a tramp with small pox may reach this point. It was intended to give a "Billee Taylor" matinee last Saturday, but the popular tenor, Dick Maxwell, eut his foot severely, and cau not water the plants like a virtuous gardener. Last week A. B. Tresslar shipped his household goods to Danville, Ky., and will soon go to (hat town with his family. He will engage, in the lumber trade. We know of a dozen or two citizens that Bloomington could better afford to lose than Tresslar. Judge Wilson is in better health, apparently, than previous
to bis recent illness, and has been pushing business with his usual clear-headed energy. On Monday, Dick Houston, for some time past a salesman in the Bee Hive dry goods house, left Bloomington for Pueblo, Colorado. Dick goes as much for health as on business, and his many friends hope he may secure both. The murderous bridge over the railroad near Putnamville, Putnam ce., claimed another victim last Tuesday. It is a county bridge, and some ten or twelve men have been killed by being struck by it. Putnam county should be compelled to raise this man-trap. Miss Lizzie B. Williamson has been appointed a notary public for Monroe county, and may be found at the office of J. F. Pittman (her step father). She is thoroughly qualified and will attend to all the duties of that office. She is tbe daughter of Dr. T. W. Williamson, who was killed at Champion Hill, during the seige of Vicksburg. She is engaged this week .taking depositions in a land suit in Johnson co. Tuesday a week gave unfavor
able indications for securing a large attendance at Myron Reed's lecture, but. unexpected good attendance was had, notwithstanding tbe stead
ily descending rain. Mr. Reed secured the attention and sympathy of bis audience from the first, and
held it to the close of his lecture. He is a pleasant speaker, and there
is a thread of humor woven into his lecture that makes it indeseribably
taking. The Republican State Central
Committee held a meeting at In
dianapolis last week. Chairman
New being absent, Uol. Jordan, of Martinsville, was elected temporary
chairman. Col. Wildman and Bruce Carr were selected to fill the places of Col. Dudley and Capt. Kahlo.
It was decided not to bold the State
convention until late in July, and
to encourage tbe counties not to precipitate the campaign until late in the season.
Save vonr coins with holes in
them for the church missionary collections. t The heathen can easily string thetn together necklaces.
There is a general arousing all
over the country in regard to the
Aforniou question. A gentleman of Bedford sent
fo Louisville for a silver pitcher,and gave instructions for sending it by express marked C.O.D. When it
arrived, "C.O.D." was found to be!

Sarah Ellen Sloan was born in Clay county, Indiana, August Stb, 1841, and died ia Bloomington, Ind., February Stb, 1893. seed 40 years 5 months and 3 days.
Dflceiwed was the last survivor of her
father's family, both parents and two brothers having preceded her. September 16., 1858, she was married to William A. May, an engineer on the h., N . A. O.
R. R., who died in 1867. There were four
childroa of this union two of whom, sons, aged respectively 18 and 16 are here to mourn taeir mother's loss. Since before ber marriage she litis been a consistent christian and in a'.l tbe years of her widowhood she has nobly struggled with ad
verse circumstances to do her duty by bar boys. She was modest and retiring in ber manner but earnest and true to ber convictions of duty. AU her anxieties seemed to be for the temporal and ot irnal welfare of bor children. Tba funeral services
from the Baptist church were largely at
tended, President Moss aad Rev. A. B. Charpie officiating. Col George W. Fried ley is not in Washington City,aa has been
published in some newspapers, but
will be in Bloomington this week attending to bis duties as an attor
ney in the circuit court. He has
not been seeking an appointment in Washington City, though he has legions of warm personal friends
who are doing their utmost to secure for him a proper recognition a
the hands of the President. Col. Friedley would honor any position within tbe gift of the Government, and should have been given a firstclass appointment under Hayes. It is believed he will be appointed Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Hiram Lindley bas removed to his handsome new room in the Buskirk block, and now has a mod
el drug store. He asks his old cus
tomers to call on him in his new location, and the general public is invited to visit the new room and see
bow conveniently he has everything
arranged for doing business, The town bas been crowded with commercial travelers during the past week men in all branches of trade, and from every poiut. Among others Joe Marks was here
last Saturday, laying in a stock of
clothiug for his Cincinnati wholesale bouse Joe buys here. Wheat drepped six cents in Chicago last week, and speculators in Ibis place have been caught with the balance. One individual who shall be uamelcss, drew from the bank in i:bis place $5,000 last month to bull the Chicago market, but was himself gored. Thos. N. Mathers is formally announced in to-day's paper as a candidate for Road Superintendent of Perry township. If Mr. Math
ers' is elected a gravel road will be built to Bloomington, it is believed. Mathers can do it, as he has demonstrated in the past, hav
ing already built a mile and a half
of the only gravel road in Monroe county. Dr. Sinex, who was in tbe drug business in Bloomington a. short time, is now practicing medicine in Lamar, Mo. Billy Sinex has a position in the postoffice of the same town. The Ryans, and a man named Taylor, were each fined $10 in the Phillips assault case,in circuit court. A jury declared .that Phillips was not guilty of assault and battery as against Joe Ryan. Henry Eller & Sons have large quan title) of lard on hand, and are now smoking 3,000 lbs. of bacon, which they will supply to customers in any quantity desired. Two fexes were captured in the Standford drive. This is the first drive of the season in Monroe couuty. Postmaster McPheeters and wife attended the funeral of Miss Lee Cookerly, at Greencastle. Ira Browning had to run for his life, one day last week had an autograph of Guiteau in his possession. A niece of Robert Gamble, Miss Anna Milligan, of Glenwood, Ind., is visiting friends in this city. The two immense hardware houses of this place, have been buying fabulous stocks for the spring trade. Pig iron has advanced $7 per
ton this means activity in railroad building next summer. Auother hideous possibility presents itself to the American people. It rests in the proposition of a Philadelphia man to freeze the body of Guiteau after his executiou, dress it naturally, place it in a costly case and exhibit it in the various cities in the Utiited States and Europe. This is the most ghastly and repulsive of the various speculation schemes that have grown out of the great crime, and should meet with immediate and ireneral rehuka.
We have had more than enough of
the miserable assassin already, and not even the consideration that half the proceeds are to jo to the unfortunate relatives of Guiteau should prevail upon the people to 'approve the scheme. The demoralizing effects of this awful ciime ara alroadv
enough without adding to them iu
injs (usgraccrui way.
Butter 30o. per lb ; and hay $18 per ton, at present. j Soon gentle Annie will be with us, likewise Mary with bor little lamb. Remember that you must present your claims for sheep killed, within ten days from the killing. If the mud would dry up, business weuld be better than ever before iu Bloomington. But it was an "if" that once saved a rabbit. Alfred Bratton, who killed Doug. Hester, at a pic nic in Brown county, last Fall, has been sentenced to twenty-one years's imprisonment in the penitentiary. Wagon loads of garden seed boxes are being distributed among the various stores. A sign that tbe springtime will be here next summer. One of the most melancholly
diversions a man can indulge in is to
read the signs on fences along the country roads. Probably one in a
dozen refers to a firm still in exist
ence, but a vastly larger proportion are but epitaphs and melancholly reminders of departed days' assignments,., failures, fizzles, and records of the city's business misfortunes. The failed or discontinued firms
monopolize the fences, and as a di
rectory, fence advertising Is misleading, useless, and injurious to tbe business interests of the city. You- will notice that the firm's
names now read frequently on the old fences and dilapidated barns are "Sutherland & Hays," "Tate & Baker," "Pering's," "J. W. Harryman," "Chase & Co.," "C. P. Tuley," and a score of others who have long ago gone out of business. Buyers whose custom country-fence advertising is designed to solicit, in time become indifferent and suspicious of the reliability of such directions, and cannot designate between live and extinct firms, and are scarcely disposed to trouble themselves about finding out. While fence advertising has its advantages, its disadvantages predominate, and if an advertiser really desires to place his card before the public, the only and really effective way is to do so through the newspapers. Monroe county has weekly publications, devoted wholly to lo
cal interests, aud it is safe to assert that among them every person capable of reading, or more especially able to buy anything, from a pound of sugar, to a bolt of silk, sees and reads at least one of these publications every day, and it is very reasonable to suppose that he or she will see and read some advertisement that may treat upon a subject that especially interests him or her. It cannot be denied that advertising in this way is more expensive,
yet it is at the same time far more
remunerative, for it meets the end
desired to place tbe advertisement
in a legible and intelligible shape before, the greatest number of people and before those most able and willing to make purchases. Both houses of Congress have adopted the concurrent resolution setting apart the 27th inst. as the
date of the memorial exercises for
the late President Garfield, If Guiteau fairly considers the many offers which are made for his corpse, it must occur to him that be will be much more valuable when dead than he ever has been in life.

Strange Things In Dcatlt.
Rev. J. W. Wobb in Western Chruin
Auvocate, January ai, ioni. i There are some very remarkable
things in connection with the death
of Rev. C. C. Showers, a local
preacher of Bloomington, Ind., who.
was suddenly crushed beneath the
cars at Qreencastle, on the 16th ult.
lie came tip on the noon rrain ot
that day (ram his home en route for
Indianapolis, and thence to ainerent
points in Ohio, in the interest of
the large furniture factory of "Showers Brothers," the brothers being
his own three sons. He came to
Greencastle, and having three hours
to wait, called on some ot bis old
friends, appearing in better health
than usual. He was a hale, active.
robust ruMi of aixtv-five years. On
returning to the depot to take the I. & St. L. train east, he bad to
cross the track of the L., N, A. & C. road just at tbe double depot,
He thought his train was coming
beyond the platform, and was walk
ing witn bis hand to bis lice as a shield from the snow storm. It
proved to be the down train fur
New Albany, and owing to the es
caping steam from :i near engine he
did not bear tbe train, and stepped
on tfie track immediately in front of
the slowing engine, When about to strike him, he saw his danger, and turned suddenly with his back
to the train, but in bis bewilder
ment had not time to leap before
the iron guard struck him. He
was carried thirty-eight feet,, caught ander the wheels and crushed to death. He lived a few minute8,bit
never spoke.
But here is the remarkable part
of this terrible afhur. On mUur
day nitrbt, at bis home, be bad a
strange and impressive dream which awoke him. He told his wife, and
at an early hour went to ont of his
sons, and related it to him. lie al
so told it in brother W. F. Browp-I ins's class, at the church of which
he is a member. He dreamed that he suddenly died, and a gu ide es
corted him among high .mountains
until they came to a deep, ravine
and large cave, into which a great throng of people were entering. As each oue entered and was ordered to
advance, he fell on his knees and
begged for mercy ; but a dp and, solemn voice would say it is f too
late I" "too late 1" "too late H re
nesting it thrice to each. ' His
guide told him this was the entrance to hell, and they who entered were worldly church members, and that
the fault was largely owing to the
preachers who preached more to please than to cave swuls. The guide told him that was not his
doom, and that he would soon take him to his hcavanly homo.
He was so impressed with this atrauge, bright vision, that hu spent all day Sabbath in reconsecrating himself to God. On Monday be was to start on a trip, and did so.
One of his sons was to go that same
day to JiOmsville, on important und urgent business, to be absent a day or two. The father entreated him not to leave, saying, "William, do not go to-day." "Why aot, father?" said the son. He said, "Do not leave home until you hea;r from me." At this the son promised to remain, and did so. About 5
o'clock that evening he received the
dispatch telling of Ins father's death.
This ia truly strange, and by many
would have been regarded as superstition before the accident, but sure
ly not afterward.
The morning he left home he told his wife he knew not where or
how soon he should fall, but for
her to be assured that he was ready.
On tihe train be spent moat of the time reading a beautiful Bible,
which he carried in his v tlise, and
talked long with an old friend, reading and expounding "lie third chapter of first Jrthn, to prove that one could live a holy life without sin. His favorite theme was sanc
tifies tion, and bad been for seven
yearn. He preached it, talked it, aad professed the experience where ever he went. Many thought he mado bis "hobby" too prominent,
but iiurely it was a splendid nobby
tor such a death.
