The DePauw Quartette.
The DePa iw Quartette gave one of its pleasant performances last evening to a very respectable audience at the Y. M. C. A. hall. The members were all good anil well rendered. The singing of 1 tarry Maxwell was especially One and lie waa heartily applauded by his many friends who were present. The other members of the quartette wore ilso well received and gave immense itisfaclion. The performance of Mr. flough, the elocutionist is also to be poken of in a commendable manner. The only disagreeable feature of the evening had to do with tho marking off of tho seats. Tho young men who had the work in charge were either numbskulls or else extremely careless as in numerous instances different parties held checks for the same seats. This led to much confusion and annoyance. The boys came out about even nil the entertainment.
Sold Gasoline for Ooal Oil.
The Lafayette Courier reports that rank Melton, of Romney, ordered a barrel of coal oil of a Crawfordsvillo firm, and by mistake the barrel contained isolino, but was sold out as coal oil. There was a number of narrow escapes before the mistake was discovered At John Westfall's tho lamps were filled, but when lit immediately blazed out the top of the chimney, and with difficulty it wiis put out. Some of was used to start the fire the next morning, bnt tlio stove was blown to. pieces. Mr. Melton attempted to start the fire in his stove and threw in part what he had in a can. then set the an several feet away on the lloor. When ho lit it the door was blown open and what was left in the can ignited) and for awhile it looked like a firstclass fire, but was put out without much damage. At other places it was nbont the same way.' Fortunately no one was seriously injured.

THE ELEOTRIO LIGHT DECISION.
Tho Oity Has the Power to Do Commercial Lighting—The Controversy Settled. The Supremo Court rendered a decision yesterday in the caBe of the city of Crawfordsville vs. Hector" S. Bi-uden, in reversing the judgment of the circuit court, and holding that the city may erect and maintain an electric light plant and furnish light not only to light tho streets, alleys and other public places, but may also furnish light for shops, stores and private dwellings. This puts an end to a controversy that has long agitated the peoplo of tho city, and over w! icli some considerable feeling has leen manifested. The decision will be welcomed by most of the people of this city, and it is hoped there will be no disposition to further baAle the City Council in its efforts to furnish cheap and improved light to the peoplo. The synapsis of the decision rendered by Justice McBride, as given in the Indianapolis Journal, is nB follows: "1. The discretion of a municipal corporation, within tho sphere of its powere is not subject to judicial control, except in cases where fraud is shown, or where the power or discretion is being grossly abused, to the oppression of the citizens. 2. A municipal corporation has the implied power to supply private consumers with electric light in connection with the plant for lighting the streets nnd other public places." Of course the Mayor and members of the
City Council, who have taken so deep an interest in the litigation, are wild with delight, and made their appearance early this morning at the law office of Kennedy & Kennedy to congratulate those gentlemen on their si.cress in reversing tho judgment of the circuit court.
Mayor Carr received congratulations most of the morning at his oflico and being asked what he thought of the decision replied: "It is exactly what 1 expected. I had given tho subject careful study, of course, and was unable to conceive how it could be otherwise. It is only right and is nothing but right and that which is right is usunlly incorporated in the law. The decision of the Supreme Court did not surprise me in the least but nevertheless 1 feel much better now that the vexed question is forever settled and can assure the people that their electric light plant will ever be a source of revenue and congratulation to them."
Councilman S-ott was probably the moBt wild in his enthusiasm and after telegraphing the news to Ed Reynolds who had gone to Chicago, he hustled around and having purchased a tlag mounted tho lofty smoke stack of the electric light works and unfurled the banner to tho frosty breezes.
Manager Sheetz, of .the Water and Light Co., was asked what he thought of the decision. "Well," said he, "I guess the Supreme court knows what it'is doing. I know, however, that if anybody tries to furnish light cheaper than we do, they will lose money, because we are now furnishing the best possible lights at the lowost possible price. I am -perfectly non-committal on the question of the decisions causing onr comany to lower its presut schedule of prices. The company knows what it will do and the policy it pursues will be no doubt the wisest and best ..
Other than tho above Mr. Steetz had nothing to say but from what he did say one would naturally infer that tho company does not intend to relinquish the prize without furthnr contest and will probably die in the last trench with its face to the foe.
Public Meeting at Darlington. Last evening about twenty members of Camp 0, P.O.S.A., went to Darling ton and held a public meeting in the Methodist church, whero the principals of the order were explained nnd nut before tho people.

There is only one wny to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of tho mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, nnd .when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, aud unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are cansed by cntnrrh, Which is nothing but an inflamed condition' of the mucous surfaces.

THE DEMON STEER OF KANSAS.
MHHtnduillr Wild Or Tllttt Oratos T«ir-r-v on th« Plains.
George. Wilson, one of the.best known cowboys of the southwest, tells a remarkable tale about a mastodon ie wild steer which has roamed the ranges along the border for many years and whose aggressiveness and power make him the dread of every roundup outfit In the country, writes a correspondent of the St. Louis Chronicle.
No brand has ever been placed upon the animal, yet no adventuresome rustler has ever dared to appropriate him. The pugnacious brute Is known far and wide as the "demon steer" on account of his freaks. The animal knows no fear, and bis immense size makes him the terror of everything that comes" in t^ls way. With lowered head, glistening eye and sonorous bellow lie will madly charge at anything that crosses his path. Many outfits have rounded him up with the other cattle, but when the circle gets too small to suit him he rushes past the riders as if no such obstruction existed in his line of flight.
Once one of the big outfits determined upon his capture, but it was a sadly domoralized outfit when he got through with it. He. gored twe horses to death, scared a dozen cowboys out of their wits, stampeded the entire herd and ttlen rushed through the camp scattering the equipage in every direction, completely ruining it. The undertaking was at once abandoned, and from that time until now no attempt has been made to capture him.
Wilson says the steer killed a big sllrfer tip bear in a1 fair fight two years ago. The combat was a terrible affair and was witnessed from a safe distance by two cowboys. The bear attempted to creep up on the steer, but the latter saw him and at once gave battle. As the steer charged the bt&r rose on his hind feet and gave tho ox a terrible blow with his paw which served to stagger the beast for a moment, but, with a bellow of rage, the steer again rushed at the bear, and before he eould administer another blow had hit him fait in the ribs aud sent him rolling on the grass. The i^fht then became fast and furious, and soon the bear was trying to crawl away from his enraged opponent. The steer was too quick for him, however, and headed him off and at last gored him to such an extent that death ensued.
The steer will die of old age and remain the king of the plains of the Panhandle country until he becomcs food for the covotes.
Three Notable Families.
This county contains three remarkable families, writes a Milan (Tenn.) correspondent. It is perhaps safe to say that it contains tho tallest, the heaviest and the lightest families in this country. The tall family consists of four persons—father, mother, son and daughter. The tallest member, the son, measures 0 feet S inches the shortest, the mother, 0 feet 2 inches. The heavy family is composed of father, mother and daughter, and their, united weight is over 000 pounds. The -light family number ten persons, father, mother and eight children, whose united weight is 518 pounds.
