SATUHDAY. JI LY 12, IKIMI.

OUE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

What Ira J. Chase Thinks of Political ProsDects. When Lieutenant Governor Chnso finished speaking Tkursdny, thero wero uxprosbious of approval all over the audiouoo, anil muuy old friouils came forward to get a handshake and a pleasant word. "Yes," said he, "I did tho best I oould, but being limited in time, I was afraid of forgetting my sol and overrunning tho limit, and so oould not get into full swing."

True politician that is, Mr. Chase called each and all of his old aoquaintnuood by mime and never failed to ask nbont the absent ones. OLIO man brought his twn daughters up, one igrown, the other nearly so. Mr. Chaso tiuii evidently known them when thoy were children for ho kissed them both with eipial grace, though the elder one blustied furiously during the operation. When asked to express his opinion as politics, he answered freely and without ressrve. His duties as Evangelist of tho Christian ehuroh oall him to every part of the State, "and I -ever fail to interview the leadiugllopublicans," said he. "Will tho party rouover fromthe township election eydoner" was asked. "Of course, of course. That was only paying eff old scores. Thoy being all settled now the party will bo able to present a united front at tho November election." "How do you like Ilarrisour" "The administration is growing in popularity, especially in tho rural districts." ....

Dead Letters.

As it is desirable to reduce the dead letter list to the minimum, if possible, tho postmaster would respectfully ask our readers to extend all the aid they can to this end. Although, out of *10,00U lirst class letters per mouth received at tliif. office during tho past quarter, only fifteen letters per week was tho average sent to tho doad lottor oflioo yet it is desirous to reduce this number. To do this the patrons areasked to lend thoir assistance. If, therefore, you should see in tho advertised list tho name of auyouo you may know, please kindly notify tho post master that tho person may be reached, and you will confer a favor that will bo gratefully appreciated. If all letters should bear the oard of tho Bonder upon the envelope, no lotters would be sent to tho dead letter office and none would be held for postage.

Information I'M Frankfort,

How does it come that, if Crawfordavilla has a less population than Frankfort, yet is allowed free postal delivery? Will Borne one inform a wondering world.—Frankfort Crescent.

The freo postal delivery is based upon tho amonnt of business dono, tho law being that where the gross receipts roach 310,000 the' free delivery of mail shall bo established. The gross business of the Cruwfordsville office reached 810,000 two years ago, and last year it amounted to about §12,000. Again we remark that the rank of a city is jti'1 wore by its quality than its quanv.iv.

A Colt Show.

On the second day of August there will be an all day basket meeting at the farm of Elijah G'lore, 111 mile.'i southwest of this city. Games and contests of .lilloreut kinds will help to pass away the time, but tho priucipal attraction will be the colt show of animals sired by Mr. Mora's handsome stallion, Western 15oy. For the best sucking colts Mr. C'lore oilers prizes of £15, $10 and So.

Dedication of Stookbarger's Church, llev. C. U. Stookbarger is pastor of lUe Methodist (lock at Haugkvillo. Says illi- Indianapolis News: "The M. E. church at llaughville will be dedicated next Sunday evening. Dr. Hickman, Presideut of Clark University, AtlanJu, (in., will proacli both morning and evening. The church is a substantial irame building, costing about §3,000.

ORIGINAL PAUKAGES.

Morohauts are doing business on much moro narrow margin now than fivo years ago. Expensos have beon out down in every possible way and tho nickles and dimes ore looked after more carefully than formerly. Tot the landlords, the owners of these rooms in which business is done aro not content with any less rent than five years ago. Some even prefer to see their rooms vacant than to come down in rent. This is hardly a commendable spirit and ono that surely does not encourago a busi noss man to ombark in now enterprises. When labor receives loss, capital should be reasonable and oouoodo a little.

That Fourth of July celebration, old fashioned and noisy, say what you plonse about it, was tho best thing Crawfordsville has dono for a long time. It has restored tho old time confidence of our merchants in themselves. There was a time when Crawfordsvillo would yield to no city in ability to do things and do them on a grand scale. Sinoo the celebration the doubting ones havo ceased their croaking and next year will be Been in lino with their money und enthusiasm. It is not too soon oven now to begin to advertise that Crawfordsvillo will celebrate the Fourth in 1891 as it was never celebrated.

Leslie Davis is.somowhat dubious as to the outlook for any good shows hore next season. "Tho trouble is trusts," says he. "Such combinations as Booth and Modjeska, JetVerson and Florence and others are only examples of what is a growing evil in tho show business. Unity's secret ambition is to own all the great circuses of the country and in addition to his sharo in the Baruum's over' shadowing vastuoss ho has already a controlling interest in tho Forepaugh property."

'Trof." Bob Hill has been a resident of Hookvillo for one year, being stranded there that long ago with the Blue Mouutain Joe combination. Ho frequently

lnakoB

ascensions in that sleepy

old town just for praatioe, and rooontly thought it a good solieme to take his wile up with him. She sat in the trapseas did ho, but to insure her pafoty a ten foot ropo had been provided, the ends of which wore tied respectively to the balloon and Mrs. Hill. The weight of the two persons proved to much for the balloon to carry and as it came down to mother earth the "Professor" gaily jumped out, expecting no doubt, next to assist his wife to the ground. But the air ship relieved of his weight shot heavenward. Mrs. Hill fell from the trapeze and hung by the ten fcot rope oooly shouting to her thoroughly frightened husband that she was all right. And so it proved. She came down again unhurt.

The large book at tho secretary's desk in the Y, M. C. A. rooms for the registering of visitors' names would be a. good thing if properly managed. Bnt unfortunately there area few young men of bright and peculiar wit who delight in expressing the Bame and hat too at some one else's oxpense. Looking over the names registered they write brilliant romarks ufter those of them that do not suit their fanny. Here area few of the senseless gags taken at random from the register: "Broken down sports," "Lano tramp," "Briok oleanor," "Green farmer boy," "Prizefighter," "Chump," "Sick infant," etc., etc. It is a pity indeed that such funny men as tkose, who write such nonsenso should evor have been allowed to enter the association.

Tho old saying "A whistling girl and a crowing hen, always como to some bad end" has loBt its force. It is now considered an even greater accomplishment for a lady to be a good whistler than a good singer. This is probably due however to the fact that it is a greater novelty, and perchance of all the girl whistlers it would not bo half so amusing As it is now though tho lady whistler is a "thing of beauty and a joy forover."
