Rev. E. 13. Thomson, of Wabash College was elected president. —The Post Office will close at noon to-morrow and will not bo open during the rest of the day. The usual collection of mail from the boxes will lie made in the evening. —The Stags will keep open house to-morrow in their room across the street west from Plum street depot. They cordially invite all their friends to call between noon and midnight. -—Prof. Charles Beechler had an interesting paper before tho acadeciy of science at Indianapolis yesterday in which he severely criticised the methods of certain scientists. Tho paper, it is needless to say, caused much comment. —Isaac N. Pratt, business manager of "A Pair of Kids," was in the city today making arrangements for the appearance of Ezra P.

Mr. Pratt has one of tho very best shows of its kind on the road. -V- .• —TheUnited Brethren quarterly meeting will be held commencing to-morrow evening and continuing over Sunday.

Tho hours of service will be 7 o'clock each evening arid U):'ll a. m. on Sunday. —At the meeting of tho State Academy of Science,papers were read by Prof. J. L.

Prof. Campbell was elected president for the ensuing year. —Many persons are complaining of headaches for which they seem to know no cause. It is morely the natural gas which effects many persons at first by presenting them with dull headaches. Before every gas fire a vessel of water should bo hung to keen the atmosphere moist and healthful. The gas heat is exceedingly dry. —American Tribune: The next session of the State Camp, as previously announced, will bo held the second Tuesday in August, 1892. As the time is not far distant for the convention of this State, numerous cities aro "baiting their hooks" to catch it. Indianapolis had the session last year, and doubtless will not have it again for some time.
The next best P. O. S. of A. town in the State is Crawfordsville. That the Sons of America aro numerous in that section is a well known fact, and it is probable that that city will have the next State Convention. Crawfordsville has ample facilities for the accommodation of tho delegates from all parts of the State and would be the proper place for the convention.

She is Peppery Enough. SS55S
Lilmn Lewis bus liikon to analyzing the dramatic art. In :i recent interview the "U1 favorite has the following to say concerning acting and will probably carry it into effect tinting her coming performances here:
The true color of nature is the first necessity of the actor if his learing is false, his intonation is false. In art what is unreal is false. The unnatural in ait is abnormal of nature, but it way be true. The public in the past did not want its actiug all natural—but boiled, baked or roasted—and it got it. The public of to-day has changed in nppotite and wants dramatic meats a little un-der-done, not so highly spiced neither chewed nor masticated, but salted and pfeppered and vinegared and oilod in the ultra-modern French Americanized school, and to mv befct belief* it gets it— as novels represent tlie nowness of opinion—so the drama isian exponent of the taste of time. There seoms to bo no standard of acting but fashion--and no standard of dramatic criticism. The public is the only reliable critic—because it pays for its opinion—and forms conclusions without philosophizing nbout the mystery of dramatic art. This method is simple: "Did 1 get my money's worth?"
No Light Last Night.
Until after the 6olemn hour of twelve last night the electric lights which decorate our streets failed to glimmer, and and the happy lovers were strolling all over the city in blocks of two. It was a most happy and enjoyable season for the lovers. The reason that the lights did not shed their soft luster was due to the fact that the fires were not running at the engine house. The plumbers were putting in tho natural gas burners and did not complete the work until the night was far spent. Hereafter we will have light as usual.
Advertising as an Investment. Advertising is a tax on him who so regards it. Only when he has learned to look it as an investment, and treat it -:i, riving it his time and thought, wu: !"vo'.op into a thing that pays. 2\e\Vopaper advertising space, like most other kind of property, has two values, to-wit: what it costs the advertiser and what it is worth to him. Therefore, in buying it, he should consider its character as well aB its price.— The Holler Mill.

They Tote Up ttie Ranch
Annie Skaggs suffered enough trials and tribulations last night to fill the natural gas pipes all tho way to Sheridan. They was having a real nice time reading F. Marion Crtiwford's latest work, when in enmo that trifling Bill Bejnett and a stranger. The stranger was not at all pleasing and Bill's face hurt him. They began by guying Annie about her be iux and started in to break up the furniture. Both gentlemen had evidently been attending a champagne supper and were feeling decidolv frisky. Annie protested, when they began to throw ^China plates and rose jars at each other, but Bill drew a great big pair of lead knucks and threatened to disfigure hisjcountenance. Annie ran out and obtainod officer Brothers who put the men in jail. Mr. Bill Bennett had 8t! cents in his pocket.
These Oruel Flames.
Yesterday morning a family named Zachary residing in one of Joseph Mill igan's houses nearing the plant of the Indiana Wire Fence Company, removed leaving the house vacant. The watchman at the Junction last night about 10 o'clock saw flames springing from one corner of the house. He picked tip a bucket and ran over, thinking that he would be able to extinguish the fire with a little labor. Arrived on the ground, however, he found that he was unable to obtain water from the cistern, and thus the house went up in flames. The loss was several hundred dollars.

the Royal Baking Powder Company. Is it any wonder The Royal has recently printed a statement purporting to be an interview with Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota, to the effect that the Royal Baking Powder is all which the company asserts it to be. The statement is made that Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission, made the representations referred to before the legislative committee at the last session, which examined various baking powders.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
1st. There is no such person as Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, stato chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota.
2d. There is a Dr. Charles W. Drew, who is state chemist and analyst to the said commission. 3d. He denies the statement in question of the Royal Baking Powder Company, generally, as follows: 1st. The statements in no sense represent his attitude or utterance. 2d. There has never been, either in the published reports of the chemist of the commission, in his testimony before the legislative committee or elsewhere, any implied endorsement of the Royal Baking Powder as superior to other brands.
3d. At the session of the legislative committee before which Dr. Drew testified, an attempt was made by the attorney of the Royal Company to secure the statements which the Royal Company has since printed, which attempt failed. 4th. On the contrary, Dr. Drew did say there were sufficient grounds for objection to the presence of ammonia in baking powders to justify* the legislative committee in recommending that all such powders be required to announce upon their labels the fact that Ammonia was one of the constituents and Dr.-Drew further expressed to the committee the following emphatic opinion: "I would not recommend such powders to my patients, nor would I use them in my own family."
The Price Baking Powder Company makes a Pure Cream Tartar Baking Powder, free from ammonia, alum, lime or any taint of impurity, and feels it owes a duty to the public as well as to itself to lay bare such trickery as the Royal resorts to in trying to wheedle the consumer into using its Ammonia Powder.

The other day Willie Busk, aged 15, and Wallace Yanoleave, aged 11, left the town of Brown's Valley armed with a gttn. Willie had the gun and before they had hnnted a great while, Wallace had a charge ot shot in his knee. The wound is a most painful one and in dressing it the whole wad ot the charge was found under his knee cap. The victim will be lame for life.

OAK GROVE.
The Ben-Hnr Reading Circle met at T. Miiler's last Tuesday evening and even an habitual pessimist conld not but acknowledge that this organization was as large as its reputuation, that time, at least. It was an "Eyening with Longfellow," and each member contributed something according to his or her taste. Biographical sketches were given, also some of his best poems. The remarks ot the president alone was a veritable feast, abounding as it did in inciden.sin the lite of the poet and most beautiful quotations from his works. So much for the literary feast.. For the latter part of the evening we had what was called a narrative exercise, conducted in this wise: Each member, as his name was called arose and told a short story, at the same time contributing a package of nuts of candy. After all had made their donations, the sweet meats were passed and enjoyed promiscuously. Several visitors were present and spoke in terms commendatory of the organization.
