It was a good republican who told us this week that he believed that every dollar of John C. Dwiggins and John L. Goben's shortages were stolen from them. Bless your souls good people we believe the same. They were robbed by some dastardly thief who has profited by the gain.

There is still room for investigation, and the REVIEW Intends to make it. We ask the question in all fairness, who got that $450 out of the auditor's office? We would not for one moment entertain the idea that ex-Auditor Wasson got it No sir. They who yell and squirm must have taken it home.

It is reported that Prof. Mansfield, formerly of IlePauw University, and recently Professor in the Iowa Wesleyan University, met with his death near Pasadena in the mountain floods near there last December.

It may be rather chestnuty but we would still like to know who robbed John Dwiggins. We know there never was a more honest man lived. Then who robbed John Goben, who certainly proved his honesty by his'sacrifice of everything he had? It may be chestnuty but it is not too late to catch the thief.

Judge Davidson is makiDg quite a number of trips to Troutman'8 now days on fishing tours. He is winning the title as oue of our champion fishermeu.

The business mens' association is the best thing in the town. Every man who is in business should join it and help in the good work of booming the Athens.

The new rope which came Tuesday, and with which Crawfordsville intends to strike natural gas, 2170 feet long and cost $4(55. Gas and oil come high but we must have them.

Now is the tune of the year when the smooth and festive swindler is abroad and the average citizen should beware less some oily tongued villian grab his hard earned earnings and flee hence.

Miss Belle Sidener, one of our most popular and entertaining young society ladies, gave a card party to a number of friends, Thursday evening, which was one of the most pleasant society events of the month.

Oh! Why don't somebody kill somebody? or somebody burn somebody's barn? or do something which would give everybody a sweet morsal of excitement to devour. This monotony is becoming monotonous.

The republicans have been notified that there is no need of so much fuss about the Crawfordsville post office as Postmaster Booe will serve out his time. Then it is said upon good authority that John Bonnell will secure the prize.

The afternoon trains on the Monon were delayed, Thursday afternoon, for a considerable time. Floods near Salem are said so have been the cause of the delay, the water in that section being high enough to cover the car wheels and extinguish the fire.

The gas well is 1,710 .feet deep. The new rope having arrived they are now drilling and will continue to until it is 2,000 feet deep. Whether gas Is struck or not, there iu one thing certain the few who have showed such enterprise are deserving of reward.

Why, or can anyone tell us has John Burford been left in the cold? He wants a fat office and is surely deserving of it. True he has been offered a few little one-horse concerns but Burford don't want any small potatoes and it is time he was being put on the list.

A little bird perched on a window told us that the republicans bad already stated their ticket for the next election. Ike Shevlin will be sheriff. No others need apply. Mike Price is to name the Irish candidate, while Union township almost hogs the ring. It comes quite reliable.

Peter Jackson, the no colored pugilist, is aching to fight Sullivan and will put up any amount of money on his prowess. Ashton is another aspirant for pugilistic notoriety, and we suppose before a month is gone there will come from every cross wood village in th« country challenges from would be champions of the world.

Now that the spirit of reform has set in why not do away with the night school system and establish a school for young ladles which would be a credit to the city. The general smattering a person gets in a night-school in four years is not equal to a two years solid training under able instructors. The night school is a fraud and should be done away with.

Claude McCampbell has gone to Crawfordsville, where he will make his home with Gen. M. D. Manson and will attend Wabash College. The place was secured him by his brother Theron, who, after graduating from our high school entered college last year. Theron is a member of the household of Mrs. Dr. Morgan, where he will stay the three college years remaining. He is a bright plucky young man, and will succeed if such qualifications mean anything.— Rockville Tribune.

The REVIEW is in favor of everything which will improve the city. We believe that a street car line would improve the town, therefore we are in favor of a street car line. The sentimental softness which causes some of our people to say "it would cut up our beautiful streets," is something which has nothing to do with the case. All of our smaller neighbors, such as Lafayette, have street lines and iu bad weather and good alike they prove a blessing to every citizen of the corporation. The beautiful street business d«a't work in winter time when mud covers the town, nor in the hot summer months when people dig tunnels through the dust ou their way down the beautiful avenues. There is nioneyjiu the business. Now who will make the question solid by organizing a stock company and beginning work. Crawfordsville wants a stieet car line. "v*'

Miss Edith Patton, who has been working at the Trade Palace left Monday for Danville, III., where she will spend the summer. Miss Patton has made many friends during her stay in this city who regretted to see her leave.

Since the REVIEW started the cry against the early closing act all the papers have filed in with us and the popular demand now is to give the people a chance to buy something without running the risk of being fried in the hot sun.

A committee was appointed at the business men's meeting Wednesday evening to consult the business men of the city on the early closing question and try to have the present arrangement changed. We are glad to see the REVIEW'S advice followed in this matter. We want our stores opened up again.

The chirp of the country correspondent is drowned iu the hum of the sickle and the rustle of the failing grain. Next week the farmers will be less engrossed in his own affairs and will have more attention to devote to his neighbor, and them our rustic readers will be joyful again at sight of good couutry fare.

People, what do you think of free gravel roads, making it possible for everyone to travel anywhere through the county without a damper being thrown on his good nature at every turn by a tax striking his pocket book with terrible regularity? Those who pay toll are in favor of it, the business men are in favor of it, wide awake men in every part of the county are in favor of it, and now the question is, are you in favor of it?

Knox college, located at Galesburg, III., recently offered Prof. Milford a professorship there of political economy and English literature, with a salary of $1,800. He gave the college a visit and refused the offer. His many friends here rejoice that be will stay with us. He is among the most efficient of Wabash college's faculty, being also a hard and earnest worker. Wabash may congratulate herself that the offer was refused.

Some enterprising citizen is making arrangements to have a picnic in Clore's grove on Sunday and is advertising the scheme with a view of having many people from Crawfordsville there. It is purely a money-making scheme and iu as much as It is gotten up to break into every law which should govern every good citizen on tlje day of rest, the scheme should be discouraged. Loafing beer guzzling and Sunday picnics are three things we should endeaver to crv out of exlstance and these people who try to turn their shekels at the expense of every law of decency and order should not be tolerated.

The trials and tribulations of the people of Terre Haute in their efforts to find oil should be a lesson of profit to the people of Montgomery couuty. Time and again was the drill made to tap the earth in the Prairie City with no favorable results, the drill at one time being sunk to a depth of 3,000 feet, piercing every stratum of rock in which there was any possibility of finding anything. The people persevered and even after this signal failure another company was formed and at a depth of 1,610 feet a spurt of oil issued forth which has boomed the town beyond the wildest hopes of its people. Let the people of Crawfordsville persevere: we have gas underneath us and all that is needed is a fair ainouut of pluck to get it.

The question of making all our gravel roads free is one which is receiving widespread attention. The people who pay toll think its a great scheeme, so will the business men who will be benefited greatly, so will people who don't pay taxes but travel the roads considerably. The tax payer who is merely a private citizen and stays at home, but pays big taxes looks at the question differently. Well, think it over, think it over.
