The circus which was here Monday, reached New Albany Friday morning.

Weackowledge a lot of cigars from our friend R. B. Guauo, who represents C. C. Bickell & Co., wholesale cigar manufactures of Louisville Ky.

There is only oue complaint being made by all now, and that is, business was never Known to be so quiet. A traveling man who has been on the road for twelve years, said to us that he had never had such a poor trade as this year.

A Review man passed the "Dagos' home," as it is called by the residents of Coal Creek township, on Thursday. It is situated two miles west of Whitlock and is where the Italians that are working on the Clover Leaf make their home. They have many holes dug in the ground, covered with corn stalks and brush, in which they sleep. The bosses sleep in tents and this little town, surrounded now by the wild ilowers that grow in the woodland, is a romantic looking place.

piping from the Gas Fields. In the event of a failure to secure gas from the well now being drilled here, it Is probable that a plan will be set on foot to secure it by piping the article from the belt in either Tipton or Hamilton counties. It would cost a large sum of money, from $350,000 to$400,000, to have it brought from either of those counties, yet by taking 111 Lebanon and other towns along the line it could probably be raised, those places furnishing half the amount. If piped at all the work should be put under way by July next, so that by the middle of the fall season gas could be ready for use in all the business bouses and homes of the city. 51^

Swindlers have begun to ply their avocation in every conceivable manner. Farmers should be careful who they buy of, and know that it is some responsible merchant and not a traveling fake.

A Washington special says, "Hon. John E. Lamb was visiting the different departments Tuesday." We dont think John can be accused of fixing up any fences this time, and if all the post offices iu the county must be changed don't blame the blue eyed boy. He went through the battle once.

Case & Company the Trade Palace dry goods men will be iu the market to buy wool, and we can safely reccoinmend them to the farmers of this and adjoining counties, as a reliable firm who will pay the very highest market price. Don't sell your wool until you see Mr. Slife the resident manager of the above firm.

The firm of Myers & Charni is one of Qrawfordsville's most reliable and there is no reader of the REVIEW who can keep from seeing their advertisement. They have a complete and well selected stock of dry goods and notions and sell them as cheap as any of their competitors. Their millinary department is now visited by all the ladies of the city as they have secured the services of an expert milliner.

The parachute leap at the circus, Monday, was performed by a young boy and was a remarkable feat. He left the baloon when high in the air and for one hundred feet descended with great rapidity.

It was a goodnight to witness,

There seems to be a little war developing in this county. Dr. Beixyman, of Darlington, and Dr. Hurt, of Waynetown, were endorsed by G, A.

Frank Murphy, Gallagher's trainer, has arrived from Chicago, and to a reporter foi Uie Tribune this morniDg said it would require about 20 days to reduce Gallagher to his fighting weight which is 197£ pounds. The proposed mill will be with hard gloves for a purse of $500 and all gate receipts. Marquis of Queensbury rules will govern the. fight, which is to be of a very spirited nature and to a finish. Everything will be in readiness in time for the fight, which is to take place between May 15 and 20 at a point within 50 miles of New Albany. Referees will be selected on the ground.—Now Albany Evening Tribune. ev&H ty* Weill. I tlic Woods lor One..

The peculiarity of the selection of candidates for the postoffices in this county by the preseut administration is oue of the most fatal mistakes we have ever heard of. They did not seem to take the opinion of the people iu view hut se lected the favorite from whom the hoys of iuiiueuce expect a reciprocation when they appear before the footlights of official recompense. The following letter from Darlington is self explanatory and speaks the voice of the people in almost every township in Montgomery county:

DARLINGTON, Ind., April 25, ISS'.I.

I take this medium of informing the citizens of this place that John H. Burford, C. I). C. C, M., was compelled to go outside of the town of Darlington to get a postmaster other than au

Whe.. II... excitement about the Terre Haute ma. 8t",". ":,s'at I'Wght tlih editor of the Indianapolis Sun wrote to Mi«. JfnryL Taylor the owner of the treasure, asking her

lo cive

its history. This, in subline-, was her auswer "The stone was given 10 ,,.e on the '.fiath of my mother in 1850. She received it from an uncle who IIH.I brought it from Virgina. This was about 80 years ago. I fuel safe' in saying that the stone has bet-,a in the family at least a century. Of „,y own knowledge it has been in active use for sixty fivo years. I myself have been using ii for the past !5) y(-.:s. uring all this time the stone has never failed iu a single instance of performing its work successfully, have not kept a detailed record of the cases treated, but they have been many hundred and there is no record of one or all the patienU having been troubled with hydrophobia after using the stone. The recent mad-dog scare has surpassed anything I ever seen or heard of. During the past few weoks the run of patients to be treated has been continuous.

Last week a man came all the way from Nebraska in order to have the stone applied. He had been bitten by a dog. He came to me mainly through the perBuation of his wife who was fearful of hydrophobia. The stone was applied and adhered ton aud a half hours. When the stone adheres to the patient it is an indication that poison has entered the system in consequence of the bite. The stone is of a porous nature and absorbs this poisonous matter from the system. When no poison has entered the system thefstono will not adhere. Aside from a detailed account of sotno of the most serious and Important casses which I have had, this is about all I can tell you in regard to the general history of the stone."

There are mailstones and madstones in the state, but the one at Terro Haute, the owner claims, has no equal. It is a bluish, porous affair, not widely different from coral in its chemical compound, but vastly different from it in appearance and results. "Do you have faith in the madstone?" was asked of a doctor who onco treated a genuine case of hydrophobia with the usual result that the patient died. "Not the slightest," was the answer.

A Wholesale Sweep.

The average republican is as full of greed as a hungry hog for the first acorns that fall, and though they were seomingly amazed to see the democrats anxious foL office only four short years ago, there was never a time in history that so many cranks wore seeking for everything from a half circle out of the moon to a ten cent country post office. Montgomery county republicans are uo exceptions and on last Monday a wholesale sweep was made in all the country post offices, this city and a few in the out townships being all that were not changed. R. B. Bell was appointed at Alamo, vice J. H. Mitchel removed W, R. Turner vice J. K, Parker resigned T. M. Patton vice B. T. Allen resigned, Brownsvalley T. \V. Campbell vice E. T. Thompson resigned, Darliugton E. W. Linn vice J. B. Anderson removed, Ladoga Frank Cornell vice G. F. Long removed, New Richmond Wm. McVey vice Eddingfield resigned, New Ross Hannah Peterson vice J. A. Berryman resigned, Potato Creek Fannie Williamson vice Lola Berry removed, Waynetown: W. A. Detrick vice J. D. Fiaher resigned, Waveiand Joseph Wingate vice J. W. Smith resigned, Whitesville Alice Yount vice C. Snyder removed, Yountsville. While the incoming post office officials are ladies and gentlemen they will have to be wido awake to do their work as well as those who have just been removed. In fact in some Instances there is a vast difference. We feel sorry for the many poor republicans who are left in the soup. Many of .vou wanted an office of course badly, but the brethren put iu their pets and know that you will work just ns willingly by the next campaign.

A Horrible Dentil.

Soloman Shoaf, a young farmer liviDg iu Parke county met with a horrible death Saturday. He was bitten some time in February by a vicious dog but not much was thought of it until last Thursday, when he became ill while in the field plowing. Ho wentto the house ana told his wire he thought I10 had the hydrophobia, his arm being swollen and very painful where the dog had caught him. He grew worse and had severe spasms. In these he would attempt to bite everything near him, making a noise something like the barking ot a dog and frothing at the mouth. He was then handcuffed and tied with ropes to keep him from doing himself bodily harm or injuring others. His arm before he died was of unnatural size and the poison had turned it black, while his throat was very much swollen and sore. He died a terrible death. He was 81 years old and married duriug the winter, and was liked by all.

The same dog that bit Shoaf also bit a boy by the name of Myers. He is now sick, and his hand i» painful and shows almost the same symptoms that Shoaf did. These are the only genuine cassos of hydrophobia ever known in Parke county, and have caused unusual excitement in the neighborhood.
