a National Emblem
A movement is oil foot for ibe purpose of riiising moans toproi mo beautiful tlag iiml present il to Miss Emma Conner, tho school teachc in Clark township, who has taken -h a lxild stand in declaring that the (lag shall proudly tloat from tin- buiiing where she teaches school. It do(»-- not matter for what cause tho ting wat- removed, it was a cowardly net, and Mi Conner is deserving the reward of II lag for her prompt action in ferret tig out the guilty parties, and declaring that the Hag shall not agjiin be r'inov«l. For this purpose the patriotic organizations nud citizens in this city will unite and procure a Hag, to '.io pubi cly presen ed to her as soon as possible. Lot all our citizens contribute t• »vhrtl this fund in order that a large 11 can be pro cured. For this purple' Sam D.
Symmes, Geo. 11. Hni and J. D. Tracy will receive such outribntions as people may see projwr give.
Did You Buy a llecktie?
The /roNvd which an mbled on Mar's liill to hear the Apostl- Paul in the days of long ago was hardlv a circumstance to the gay and glittering assemblage of the intellectual citisvns of our more modern Athens, that gathered yester day afternoon to listen to seductive language of a strew fakir. Standing up in an open carrinc" in all the tnagni licent proportion!-, w.tli the last rays of the declining sun failing aslant hiB form ho delivered an oration which for effectiveness was plumb out of sight. He was selling necit i- and what is more machines tu make n-olities. He took a big roll of bills from his pocket and in every package In placed a dollar bill and then sold the whole thing for fifty cents, tho only condition being that no one should open his prize until his sale had closed. As evoryone was dead certiiip lie put the bills in tho package they gladly agreed to do this and several well known citizens purchased a half a dozen. When he had sold nearly a hundred he said, "gentlemen, I hope you will till be pleased with your purchases," and away he drove.1' It was the same old story. The bills wore not in it." That fakir is evidently a scamp and if he ever comes back to Crawfordsville his victims will kill him ontright and then, as Milton beauifully expresses it in the glowing pages ot Paradise Lost.

A Sowvenir Spoon for Orawfofdsville. The souvenir spoon craze is one tlia has so caught the fancy of womankind that is is constantly growing nnd iB likely never to die out. ItsJJatcst outbreak is in the schools, girl graduates investing in thorn, instead of the custoinary class ring or pin. as tokens of remembrance. Manufactureis are called on to make si itable designs for the articles, and tlnis the tableware of the future has another variety added to its already inurv-ihms possibilities. All in all it is ih(! ost sensible fad of the ago ah- the spoor- will always bo useful aB well as orui .ental One of our jewelers is now considering the advisability of getting ont. a spoon for Crawfordsville.
We would suggest as a design a full Hedged spook hovering over Martin's iee rouse or the Methodist church.

GAB CONSTANTLY FOBMING.
No Danger of the Natural fuel Giving Out if Proper Oare is-Taken. In gn interview published in Saturday evening's Washington Star, Prof. W. J. McGee, of the geological survey, who has had many years official supervision of the subject, makes some observations about Indiana's natural gas and oil supply from a scientific, common sense and practical standpoint, which will be read with a financial interest by our readers. In a word Professor McGee does not believe the Indiana fields exhaustible, if there is sense exercised in consumption, as gas is constantly forming. He says: "The origin of tho rock gas and petroleum, as well as the laws by which they were accumulated,is so well understood that it is as easy to predict the success or failure of a prospective liore for oil or gas as to tell whore an artesian .well will or will not fetch water. Scien-. tific investigation has made known the cause of the tremendous pressure under which the gas and oil are confined.1 Every great field in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana is an enouuouB dome be-, neath the surface of tho ground, tilled in with porous sandstone or limestone.
The natuaal gas of Indiana is in such a dome, about fifty miles across, formed by the bonding out of shape of the strata incidentally to the contraction of tho earth's crust. The coarse grained limestone that is under it is charged with inflammable fluids. Onjtop is gas, beneath it oil, and under the oil is salt water. This dome runs in the middle of a great basin 500 miles in diameter, the rain water falling into this basin is partly absorbed by the rocks, and it floats from all directions toward the center, driving the oil and gas which are in the rocks towards the dome and thus compressing it with enormous power. "Rock gas is the same thing as marsh gas, which is often seen bubbling from the muddy bottoms of stagnant ponds.
It, and the oil likewise, were formid originally by tho slow decomposition of woody or other organic matter contained in the strata of tho earth. The making of both is now in progress in nil rocks containing partly decomposed organic remains. The question is often asked, "Is natural gas yet forming?" Undoubtedly. It is only a question of the formation being equal in localities to the drain of consumption. "All the compounds of carbon upon which the civilized world •chiefly depends at present for fuel must be exhausted within a few centuries. The anthracite of America will lie used up within a few decades, while the bituminous coal-beds, formed in the carboniferous and cretaceous epochs, will be dug out within 1.000 or 2,000 years. Happily, however, the stock of bitumens in the rocks of tho earth is practically unlimited, and in them will be found the fuels and illuminants of the future."
Robert Downing.
Robert Downing the popular and well known young American tragedian, will appear to-night at Music Hall presenting Sheridan Knowles' great p'ay, "Virginias." with Mr. Downing in his great representation of the Roman Father. Mr. Downing will be supported by his own company which is led by that beautiful woman aud charming actress, Eugenie Blair. Commenting upon this famous tragedian the Washington lh'mlil says: "The task of upholding the dignity of the tragic drama on the American stage seems likely, the coming season, to fall on the broad shoulders of Mr. Robert Downing, the well known Washington actor. Robert Downing in tho line of characters interpreted gives convincing proof of hisi superiority. The Gladiator he depicts with groat intensity: as 'Virginias,' a gontle and forbearing man, but tempestuous to a degree when the honor of his good name is assailed, Mr. Downing shows rare versatility and force. 'Damon,' that hard working part now BO rarely presented, is handled with consummate skill and judgment. 'Brutus' is a faultless impersonation. As 'Petruchio' he is delightful in the quiet comedy of the part."
