A Kthl "IIoss" Knee.

If you were not at the fair grounds Friday morning you missed a great treat for there was a real "lioss" race, and if there was any crookedness it took an older sport than a REVIEW reporter to see it. There was fully two hundred men and boys present, of every avocation except preachers. The race was a green pacing, two best heats out of three. Eutries, Clint, Long aud Buck, with Albert Miller as starter. In the first heat, Clint, by some providential reason and the awkwardness of Dick Epperson, won the heat. The race was to be for blood and Epperson was taken from the sulky and Reddy Sullivan took hold of the ribbons. Now Long is a sleepy looking animal some less than fifty years old, but when he started off in that rock bottom goit of his it was only a few moments until be put the hooks into the other two animals that were traveling on their shape, and Reddy was as much of a hero as Suyder was last year when he knocked the ball over the fence at the ball park. The owner of Clint says he has an ideal horse, and as our friend, Jim Insley, sanctioned his remark we are also willing to make affidavit.

He says he has tried for twenty-five years to get just such a horse. He was sired by Gray Billy, he by grandson of Old Buck, he by Leuoard's Buck, he by old Buck anil the remainder of the Buck family, dam by Black Hawk and Morgan. Has the blood of Gray Eagle, Woodpecker, Bald Hornet, and a few more running horses not dpwn on the bill of fare. If you want to see the record of the other two horses look on the 16th page of Hostetter's almanac. Heavy betting was indulged in, Ed. Coleman losing as much as llfty cents. A boy fell from the grand stand and disfigured his trousers and the race ended in the rain.

How 'limit It?

Well, did you ever see things done real awkwardly, ignorautly and expensively? If you never did, just make a trip to the seat of justice of Montgomery county, and see the automatic waxworks the people have elected for county commissioners. They are up to all kinds of blunders. They don't seem to know how to do anything just exactly right. The very latest act is this: They advertised for bids on the construction of the orphans' home aud made the advertisements read Monday, August 3. Now when August 8 came they also came aud held a special session, but bless their good souls August 3 was Saturday and even the good brethren had forgotten there was a day or rest nigh at hand. The result was they could hold no meeting for any work on that day aud had to meet again on Monday. Now if they had not charged for services when they found that it was their mistake that caused the unnecessary meeting all would be well, but they are not built that way. The.v charged for Saturday, a day they did nothing toward the letting of the contract, and also for Monday, an unnecessary expense to the tax payers of $10.50, all because they did not look at the calender, ami Montgomery county being inhabited by rich monopolists wo suppose that they can stand it. One thing is certain they will have to, and all we poor fellows can do if to tell the people and ask the men who voted*for them how do you like it?

Art You Fools?

Tax payers we want to speak to you agaiu. Our grammar uiay be as rank as the Choctaw language, but we cau see mouey dissappear like water on a duck's back. You havea beautiful trio in the county commissioners' office. A sweet-scented combination who kuow about as much about business as a drove of geese. Their latest freak is the printing of the gravel road bonds which were ordered printed by the Auditor aud likewise by the Commissioners, aud at their meeting Thursday they paid the Journal £12.25, and Keeuey A Harlow the same amount. They have one set of bonds for sale. They used the Journal's bouds and will sell the others very cheap. Now there was no need of such ail expense. The bonds could easily have been printed for twelve dollars and the. printer made money, though the REVIEW dou't know much about making money out of a county office. We are usually left in tLe soup, but we don't complain. We are rock ribbed and a yard wide democratic and will never shirk our duty. Now in all reason is this right? Taxpayers are you fools? Do you intend to pay doubly for everything yon get? In this case the amount is small, but it is enough to show bad business management, and if kept up Montgomery county will soon be bankrupt.

F(JK SAI.K.—A set of county bonds. Enquire at the commissioners' office. The many friend? of Mrs. Dr. Montague are glad to learn that she i9 out of danger.

Clarence McClure, a son of James McCltire, fell off a fence Thursday and broke his arm. FOR SALE—A set of county bonds. Cost new, ¥12.25. Apply to Mike Price, the Hibernian Reformer. They will be sold cheap for cash.

John Johnson, it is said, is a prospective candidate for sheriff on the republican ticket. We know of several parties who are very anxious to put dynamite under his chair.

A Httle "nervousness" is perceiveable in our esteemed friend Recorder Johnson. It may be however, that it is because his days for working the school loan applicants for big fees for abstracts are rapidly passing away.

John Reagan, a young man living near the junction, was accidentally shot by a companion while charivaring a newly married couple on Thursday night. The ball passed through his neck. The wound is not dangerous.

The Board of Commissioners pleads the baby act by saying that both bills for printiug bonds amounted to no more than what oue would have gotten had there been no competition. Too thin gentlemen. Mike's talkee, talkee, caused the double payment aud nothing else.

There is no need of trying to explain why there were two sets of county bounds printed for the gravel roads. There was no need of them and the expense is made double and the tax payer suffers. Now who wants to pay it? No one can say that this talk is just a political triftk, for we are talking in piain Hoosier English.

Tiie day has about passed when tax sale day will be a feast of plunder for a few county officers who bid in everything in sight which promises to pay well. The victims are learn ing by experience who the fleecers are, and when one of them who has the office itch shows up again on the republican ticket, stand from under.

The horsemen are trying to get another race for some day next week and if they succeed we will have gay sport if they are equal to Friday's amusement. Jim Insley, Jim Freeman, Billy Heffernanand Albert Miller, are to fill the Judge's stand whil«» the small boy will swim in the Lake. Reddy Sulivan will be barred but Oscar Wilcox can drive as many horses as he wants to.

John Johnson was heard in a moment of inadvertence to admit that he and some of the court house attaches "stood in" on the delinquent tax sales. An admission of this kind is very damaging, especially when made to a man whose standing is aB high for reliability as the one to whom it was made. The old cry of "court house ring" had a good deal more in it than simply an attempt to scare somebody. An investigation of affairs is needed.

On the school book question the RKVI ew is as unstable as the wind. Two weeks ago it denounced the books as "cuckoos," "compilations of freakishly turned works," and was "amazed that such work could be composed by the human intellect." It "ventured to say that very few of the St. Paul editions, accepted by the State board, would be sold iu the Athens at least." Last week it tacked its sails, veered around, landed on the other side, and thinks "the people will be well satisfied to be 'caught' by the new publishers." What is the REVIEW'S opinion, anyhow?—Journal.

Oh, now don't! The St. Paul series of school books and those with the imprint of "Indiana School Book Company" are, as we understand it, two entirely different concerns. No one unless very strongly prejudiced and favorable to the monopoly of the Van Antwerp company can say anything substantial or reason against the publications of the Indiana company. In every particular they are as good as those heretofore furnished scholars, and in some respects better, the price of tlieui in particular being a great commendable feature. In the quality of paper used in the Indiana books, the typographical appearance, the arrangement of the subjects, etc., our ueighborsbotild make an inspection before seeking to ridicule or condemn them, after which he will doubtless consider the change necessary and beneficial.

The $450 is still lost, and even the inild-eyed Hibernian commissioner admits that he does not know where to find it, and appealed to the REVIEW for a plan. If the Great Objector should finally get it through his wool that bad men abound among republican officials and go for the gang lie would probably find his mail, Sue the late Auditor to recover the amount, anil either make him put, up the amount or deliver over the man who did get it. The burden of proof iB with the late Auditor." He must pay, prove himself not at fault, or deliver over the proper fellow. Now Mike, set the ball to rolling. You have the plan.

Ill the year IHSH, one of the "stand-in" years the books showed that John Johnson purchased at the Treasurers Delinquent Tax Sale, the property of i!5 unfortunates who could not raise the money necessary to pay out. On this amount he received the Shylock's penalty of from 10 to 25 per cent. The purchase of the lands and homes of unfortunates may be legitimate business methods, but the world dTies not so consider it. The man who lies in wait for his prey like spider, is not generally thought very well of by the world at large. The purchase of lands in this manner to save money invested is all right but for the purpose of speculation on misfortune it is not.
