This is a shoe That'sSurci to go through Klghteen Hundred una Ninety-Two.

Give your feet a show. They'll have to carry you through the new year. If you give them their deserts, you'll put them into shoes that they will take kiudlv to. You will be doing a handsome thing by them if you encase them in a pair of our f.1.00 shoes. When you are wearing them neither you or they will have anything to complain about. The day may come when a better shoe than this can be sold for less money. For time brings wonderful changes as well as new years. But it hasn't come vet ami there's no sign of it.

Respectfully Yours.

Xoltce to the Clergy.

The Vandalia line is pleased to advise clergymen who are located along its line, and who are regularly in charge of a congregation and engaged in other business, that the clergy rate which can be secured by them, commencing January 1st, will be one-half of the regular fare instead of two cents per mile as heretofore. Application for permits should be made through tho agent of the company at the point at which the clergymen are located.

T'hoy were nil there last uiglit except Mr. Walter and as he wasn't there the council refused to pay bis SI4 cab bill. Mr. Horner, of tlm Water iul Light company, was granted -'SO days more to make tho extension or the water mains on south Grant avenue.

to look into the matter. A special ordinance was passed orderng sidewalk on the west side of south Grant avenue, from Chestnut street south.

The electric light committee reported that there were 921 incandescent lights go ng on the circuit and that the capacity of the dynamo was about exhausted. The demand, however, is still very great and hundreds are asking for the light. The council, after hearing the different riews, resolved to expend $20,000 more in purchasing the necessary machinery, wire, etc., for enlarging the plant to such an extent that the rest of the business houses and all private residences can be supplied. Those who have investigated the matter state that with this addition the city will be, not only able to pay for street lighting but also to derive a hnnd6ome income. Tho whole council was resolved into a committee to prepare plans t-sd^ I an^

bids. Fred Bandel reported that he was will ing to sign tho contract for the east Wabash avenue improvement provided that he be compelled to do only 4,200 feet, the amount he bid on. As there are about 600 feet more in the projected improvement the council resolved to consider the matter more at length.

The Midland Gone Up.

The Indiana Midland road has practically abandoned business. The officers of that road have made a brave fight and endeavored to tide over their financial embarrassment. The treasurers of the counties of Madison. Boone and Hamilton levied upon their rolling stock to secure taxes. This proved to be the last straw. Tho agents at stations along the route have been instructed not to receive freight or sell tickets over the line. The officials would not receive the mail at any of the stations yesterday, stating that the train would*not go out. The terminal points of the road are Anderson and Waveland, and its length is eighty-six miles. The Big Four and Lake Erie companies are figuring on purchasing the road. Not a Midland train has rolled into Waveland for a week.

Swell Enough to Pop

Another one of those swell society dances occurred last evening at the manor house of Charley Skaggs, r.ear Goose Commons. All the elite of the nibble neighborhood was present and

lor a copy of their patent leather pumps made merry

music as the joyous dancers tripped over the well greased boards to the entrancing strains of "Pop goes the Weasel."' Several young ladies who were not exactly in the social swim peculiar to Skaggs1 four hundred were ingloriously bounced when they applied for admittance. Xo one not a full tledgud society gull need apply.

Pettit Appeals.

The attorneys for W. F. Pottit this morning served notice of appeal on the State'6 attorneys and the county clerk. The papers, of which there are two bushels, three pecks and two quarts, dry measure, will be filed with the supreme court within the next three days. Then will come a long season in which' the State shall prepare and submit a reply and finally will come the decision of the supreme court. Thus endeth another chapter.

P. M. B. A. Row.

That branch of the F. M. B. A. which hold its meetings in West Union school house had a grand "bust up'' last night. A number of the members became disgusted with its workings and refused to pay their dues, asserting that they had never received any benefits from the organization and did not propose to be taxed to keep it going. In the midst of tho argument Noah Fiannigan of ancient and Irish lineage rose up and called out: "Blankety blank you, pay your dues or got out."

There was a rush for the door and the West Union branch was not as strong numerically as it has been. 'Twas ever thus.
