While cutting down through a straw-stack with a straw knife he slipped and fell : off the stack and on the knife in such a manner as to cut a gash eight inches in length and to the bone across his breast.

A GOOD TIGKBT

FOR KJil'l'BLH'ANS TO VOTE. On Tuesday evening of last week tho Republicans of the city hold an ejection in the three wards to select a ticket. As is well known there were four candidates for Marshal, two for Mayor, two for Clerk and but ono for Treasurer. There were four candidates for councilman in the 1 st ward, four in the 2d ward and but two in the ftd. The contest was uncommonly active and spirited but at the same time good natured. The vote is the largest ever cast in tho city, showing strong Republican gains within tho past twj year it is now 828 votes, the first ward casting 343. Frank Woolley had no opposition, and received 814 votes. Mayor Buskirk received a majority of 71 in his home ward, tho 2d. Marshal Owen as also strong In his own ward, the 2d. Ren. C. Smith's majority over Owen in his own tho 3d (Smith's ward) was 38, so that it will be seen that the battle was fought for all there was in it. Wm. F. Browning, for Clerk, was nominated by a majority of 440. Following are the figures, which are well worth preserving for future reference:

The address is highly spoken of by the press. Tho dairies arc multyplying also, a man named Hill, from some part of Illinois having rented Judge Duncan's farm southwest of town for dairy purposes. The great success of the season was the Firemen's entertainment. It drew a large and highly delighted audience at the opera house, aud tho banquet and ball were unequalled fer good cheer and pleasuie. The receipts of the fire boys was a generous sum, and all, donors and recipients, well pleased with the result. The receipts were about $190. Wm. Bass, colored, by his attorneys, East & Miller, has brought suit against Wells & Hall of tho Acorn restaurant, demanding $100 damages, because, he claims they refused to serve a dish of oysters for him, and alleging that this refusal was because he is a colored man. The suit and its result will be watched with considerable interest as it will be the first attempt to enforce the civil rights law in this part of tho State. The "Morning Daily Courier" appears this week, issued from the office of the Saturday Courier. It will bo edited and published by II. J. Feltus, whose ability as a writer is conceded, Tho paper will be printed each morning ut 7 o'clock, and will contain all the news of the previous afternoon and night up to tho hour of going to press.

One of the oldest citizens of Clear Creek tp., Leonard Litz, died recently at his old home from natural causes, in his 86th year. -.-"Jack" Mitchell was in town this week on a visit to his mother, after attending the fuucral of Maj. Mitchell at Indianapolis. Joseph G. McPheeters is announced in this issue of the Progress for the office of clerk of the circuit court. No man in Mouroe county has done more hard work for tho Republican party, or more continuously than "Joe McPheeters," as his friends call him. As to his qualifications for the office to which he aspires no one will raise a question.

Tho building business promises te be brisk by the first of April as a number of houses are already under contract and others are contemplated. Two masked men on Tuesday night of last week at about 8 o'clock, knocked at the door of Mr. Garner, who keeps a modest grocery store on south Rogers street. Air. urarner ana nis wue live in a small house adjoining the little store room, and the store had been closed at 7 o'clock, the old people seldom keeping open late. Going to the door with lamp in hand the old gentleman was startled by the presentation of three revolvers to his head eue of the two men holding one in each hand, while both were masked and wore rubber coats and hats. Tbe men told i him to produce his money as they I knew ho had it, and he went and opened the money drawer showing them there was nothing there and declaring that he had no money on his person. Tho thieves claimed that he had it in the house, and that he would have to be shot unless he got it. The old gentleman became frightened and was about to go into the house and get $150 which was secreted there when his wife came to the door and called for him loudly. This seemed to disconcert the thieves, for without another word they hurried away. The men were evidently new in the business or they would not so easily have been scared off, for they seemed to have a well grounded suspicion that the money was in the house.

Registrar Bates has removed to a house recently purchased by him on west 1st street. The grand lodge A. O. U.W. met at Lafayette, last week. Dr. Hon of this place was the official delegate, aud was in attendance. Geo. P. Campbell is chairman of the People's Party central committee, and Wm. G. Johnson is secretary. A ticket will be placed in the field at an early date. Agents for the Champion Machine Company for this State held a convention in Indianapolis last week. Ed. Neeld was the representative from this city. The plans and specifications of the new building for I. U. will be considered at the meeting of the Trustees which will occur on March 25th. Hiram Reed of this place furnished music for the anniversary celebration of Ledge No. 160, K. of P., Gosport, which was observed on Monday night of last week. Well, now, who will the Democratic victim for Mayor be ? The Democracy ought not to expect the candidate they run for this office to pay his own funeral expenses.

The firm name under which the restaurant in the McGee room will start is Bundy & Edmondson, Wm. Edmondson being associated with Mr. Bundy. Some observing reader calls attention to tbe fact that Lew. Wallace in his description of the crucifixion (in Ben Hur) says nothing about the spear thrust. j. B. Lyue, the well known quarry owner, is again occupying bis residence on 4tli street. It will be remembered that the house was destroyed by fire and has been rebuilt sineo. A tramp who was making an effort to get on tho platform of a baggage car of tho midnight train, at Berlford, one night last week, had one of his legs crushed between the knee and the ankle and amputation was found to be necessary. Ho hailed from Louisville. While the family of W. R. Byers was away from home, in Harrodsburg, last Thursday night, at about 9 o'clock, tho house caught fire, from tho stove it is presumed, and was entirely destroyed. Loss about $ 800. Insurance $600. -Petty thieves seemed to be holding a revival last Wednesday night. They forced open the front door of' W. B. Baker's grocery, west 6th street, and carried away a quantity cigarettes and postage stamps, which was prettygood evidence that it was not hunger that was crowding them. An attempt was rlso made to force open a rear door at Bruco & Mefiarv's clothinsr store aud Neeld's hardware store, leaving only the chisel marks as evidence. In this impression of the Progress John T. Woodward of of Indian Creek tp. is announced as a Republican candidate for County Clerk. John T. Woodward was born and grow to manhood in Indian Creek tp., and in 1884 was brought out by the Re publicans of his township for the office of Trustee. The regular Doniecratle majority of the township was 70 votes, but Woodward made a clean race and was elected. He is a good business man, a thorough accountant, a man of pleasing address, and would make an accommodating and competent clerk. The Lind lev drug store room) ia now ono ol the most beautiful rooms in tho city. Tho decorations and arrangements have been made with rare taste aud judgment and it is worth walking a long distance to see. The stairway at the south end of the stone room has boon changed, and a wall paper room has been arranged above t hestore room that is in itself a model of artistic convenience. Walter Lindley is a careful and progressive business man and is up with the times in till that will add in the convenience of his patrons and to the increase of his trade. If you haven't -soon t ho drug store rs oni recently go over and look at it.

Judge Franklin of Spencer fell on the ice recently and fractured one of his ankles. On March 5th we have a session of circuit court, of commissioners' court, and there is also a grand jury. A chair manufacturing company of Bedford, O., offers to come to Bedford, Ind., for $20,000 bonus. Nothing small about that offer. New window sash have been: placed in the opera house, the old. sash having become so old and weather-beaten that they would not hold glass. John Peterson, whose stable was burned some time ago and two of his horses cremated, lost another on Tuesday of last week.. While driving on west 2d street the horse fell and broke his neck. Couldn't get a draft at the banks or a draught at the saloonslast Thursday. George Washington was opposed to both when on this mundane sphere. P. S. The banks did close, but the saloons did not There is a strong movement in favor of George W. Fletcher of Richland tp. for county commissioner. He is a good mechanic,, just the kind of man that is needed on tho Board, and he is com

petent m many otner ways. Suits have been begun against the Bloomington Oolitic Stone Co. and the S. & B. Stone Co. on subscriptions ef $100 each said to have been made to the world'afair fund. This is one cf the echoes of the fair that will not have a musical ring in the cars of stockholders. The "World" says of thr Republican primary city elections "At least 250 votes were cast by Democrats, or b' persons who da not reside in the city." As it was expressly demanded that no one should vote who was not a Republican, this statement is an accusation of dishonesty which Democrats will have to bear from one of their own party organs. It is stated that there are six-ty-two colored voters in the 1st ward. H. V. Eaglesou (colored) received but 49 votes for councilman, and as it is fair to presumethat some of these votes were cast by white Republicans, it will be seen that the voters of his race did not come solidly to his sup port, as he had reason to expect. Un the comraryit rs said" that number voted for John Murnhv. The Baptist church 'experience social" at the home of Mrs.. Chas. P. Tourner, cast 4th street, was a very pleasing affair. A male quartette, comprising Dick Maxwell, Wall. Pauley, J. T, Giles and Chas. P. Tourner rendered some excellent inuBic. A dollar was contributed by each, member accompanied by a story in verse detailing how the money was secured. A handsomely engraved book mark was awarded to tho person having the best poem telling of it, and Miss Annie Robison was awarded the prize. $17:30 were the receipts. Col. Jas. B. Black, while indie city last week, was the guest of his old comrade, Col. W. M Alexander. Judge BanU, Prof. Woodburn, Lucy Hunter and Mrs. Bincklcy attended the funeral of Jas. L.
