-Col. Friedley has been grant

ed an extension to his leave of absence, and will remain in Indiana till after the November election. The Republicans, of the State have reason to congratulate themselves that bis voice will be heard in the approaching campaign. "Slosh in the dirt, hoys; we most fill them thar holes," said a talented

gutter maker, last Saturday, to some of

nts -pa ms." ahm is wow you mirm can a "dirty' swindle. Two years ago the bees in this locality were almost all killed by the severe winter. Since then the bee fanciers have been importing choice varieties, and hives are more plentiful than before. Dr. Weir lost all his swarms by the severe weather, but now has thirty hives, and all of them active and doing well. In a locality where good rock is so, plentiful and cheap, there is no excuse for using those thin, shelly stone, fr gutters and sidewalks.

Hon. John Overmyer, one of

the staunehest, most active and energetic Republicans in the State, has been chosen Chairman of the State Central Committee, and ths Republicans of Indians may rest assured that there will be no blunders under Overmyers's administration. He will be ably assisted by Gen. Terrell as Secretary. We trust that tbe lady friends of the Progress, who are compelled to : wado through the mud where crossings have not been re-laid, wil? assist us in talking np a needed reform in street work. Several needed changes are in contemplation by the railroad company. The ticket office and telegraph office arc to be separated,and the waiting rooms are to be remodeled. Tbe fuel sheds are to be removed to the red cut, und a switch is to lie built from the depot to the spoke factory. Six weeks before any ivork was done on west 6th street, the crossings were taken np. They have never been re-laid. Why ? After the prohibition, amendment carries in Indiana, next spring, (as it sorely will) the Pro

gress is in favor of an amendment to prphjbjt the inordinate use of tobacco, ifcxt to the drunkard the habitual tobacco juice squirter is t.he greatest nuisance. We believe, too., that such an amendment would carry, as the women can then vote, and they will rally around the anti-

tobacco standard.

At the special election for city

councilman in Jbe 3d ward, Tues

day of last week, M. D. Griffy was

elected over H. J. xTeltus by a ma

jority of 56 votes. Mr. Feltus,

(who is an anti-prohibition Demo

crat) has always objected to the

Republican principle of student vot

ing, as he insisted that their votes

were sufficient to defeat tbe Democ

racy in a close contest. But in

their absence, a ward that is some

times carried by Democrats, aud is

Republican at other times by only ten or fifteen votes, is now carried

by a Republican majority of fifty sixjrotes. The student vote tjid it !

A number of these odd-shaped stone are

laid down, and of course there ara large crevices between each. Into these crevices spalls or pieces of stoae are drivers, and the stone is lad in this manner all the way across. Then, Wiae"tn's'ugly piece of defective work; the workman, (if such botching car be called workmsnshij)) throws' earth over the gutter. ' Throwing

down rock in this way and jamming in small pieces (no leud-s tones to bother

them) they are now making' ftpai four to seven dollars per day I Why should you pay 18c per foot for such, botch work t

-When yon hear some of these contractors and sub-contractors whining;

about "working for nothing," investigate the matter for yourself, five or seven

dollar s per day for laying gutters, certain

seem to be a little better than nothing.

In every one of the innumerable crevices of these gutters,' constructed

with thousands of spalls, grass and weeds

will grow luxuriantly, and you will

To insure n clean gutter fh'en, have It bid

At a meeting of the Republi

can Congressional committee of this

district, last week, it was unani

mously decided to mske no nomin

ation. The result w.ity be, th Hon. Samuel Waliingford, an original Republican, a farmer and stock

raiser, a temperance man, a man of

unquestioned morals, will be elected in November next, ft will not

be difficult for the Republicans of

this district to choose between Mat-

son and Waliingford. Matson was

elected by a plurality of 900 votes,

Wow wifh the Uminback and ite-

publican vote combined. Wiilline

Some of the smart aleck gutter makers complain when a wagon is

driven over a gutter, or when a cow walks over it, and give that as a

reason wby their work is all out of

shape. Wha tyre these gutters biiitt for t ornament or use ? The

people will yet realize that they are being . swindled by these gutter snipes.

The "thick at one edge and

"flip" gos the rock. 'A square stone

would not do this. '
