The Salvation Army have an ice cream supper in the room east of Wampler's tonight.

The Capital Comedy Company that played at Rockville all last week passed through the city Monday.

Reed Hanna arrived home Wednesday looking noue the worse for his trip of ten thousand miles.CHe will locate in this city.

Wm. Vincent, a former resident of this city, but now in the boot and shoe business- at West Lebanon, was in the city Mouda

Will E. Siddons, one of Greencastle's moBt popular young men, was in the city Friday en route home from a trip to Lake Maxinkuckee.

Spence's paper, of CovingtoD, says we won $11 on the ball game played here. But where is the money, did anyone from Covington have that much that day?

The law firm of Hurley & Clodfelter has een retained in a suit involving some $15,000 11 real estate. The parties live in this and Tippecanoe counties.

Vho five democratic letter carriers are perfectly willing to hunt another job, and as they are first-class, honorable young men they will have no trouble in finding good situations.

There is talk of employing expert judges for tbe different classes of stock at the county fair. This is done at many of the fairs throughout the State and gives the best of satisfaction.

Dr. Barnes desires us to say that it was a mistake in Baying he would locate in Chicago and that he will remain in this city, having good enough practice and success to be perfectly satisfied with this city aR his home.

Matchless, the stock company's blooded horse of Ripieyjtownship, took the premium for heavy draft at the Rockville fair, then the sweepstakejwith 36 entreeB. The horse Prince, owned by the same company, took first in general purpose. Both horses will be si our fair.

Que good turn, iicseros another, and the BC'isy remnant of the Salvation Army are more than matched in noise by the practice of the cornet band in a room adjoining them in Cloro's block, on south Washington street. Merchants near by welcome the new noise as it is a noticable contrast to that of the army.

The special excursion train to French Lick and West Baden Springs, Tuesday, Sept. 3rd over the Monon, will be under the direct charge of Rev. John Diunen, of this city, and the cornet band of this city will accompany the train. It will pass through here at 8:10 a. m. Fare from this city only $2.40 round trip tickets good returning Sept. 4.

The game of ball, Friday afternoon, between the Recreation Parks, of this city, and the Possum Ridge club, was the best amateur game ever played here. Sullivan and V/asson were the battery for the home club, and did good work, while the twirling of Whittington was simply great. They played 12 innings, when the score was 7 to 6 iu favor of the home club. It was an interesting, weil played game.

Damaging reports fire in circulation that Rev. W. F. Pottit, ot Shawnee Mound, poisoned his wife, who died quite suddenly. The reverend gentleman makes a strong denial of the gravo charge and we hope that he can easily prove it r.i falsehood. The gossip conuects his name 'with widow by the name or Mrs. Whitehead, a daughter of David Meharry. The death 'of a dear one is a sad euougli blow without fucli terrible charges as this. An investigation and law suit will probably be the result.

The old settlers' meeting at Meharry's grove Thursday was one of the largest and most successful meetings ever held at this popular place. Speeches were made by Win. H. Durham, A. B. Cunningham, Hon. Park Hunter, Rev. R. J. Cunningham, Rev. McBrooni, Joel Thomas, Samuel McClure and others. The crowd was estimated at 10,000. No accidents happened to mar the day. A large number of old relics and a number of old settlers were on the ground. It was one of the usual grand old Meharry's grove old settlers' meetings.

The location of the board of examining surgeons at Veedersburg, has been changed to Covington, by order of the commissioner of pensions. Claimants for pensions, having orders to report at Veedersburg will hereafter be examined at Covington.

Sarcasm! Come now, Mc., don't give us any such taffy as the above. That will do to tell the marines, but you can't fool old soldiers with such balderdash. p|p

Thirty young men met with Gen. Lew Wallace at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday evening to organize a military company. Twenty of them signed their names, aud they want twenty' more so as to make a company of fifty. This is a good chance for a good company to be organized in the city. $

The will of Moses Fowler, 'of Lafayette, which was probated this week, says nothing about Wabash College nor- Purdue University, •much to the surprise of mauy of the friends of these institutions. The estate, while estimated to be worth S3,000,000 Gonates nothing to educational interests -,v r\

The Old Settlers meeting" at Clore's grove which will be held Sept. 5th, promises to be the most successful ever held at that place.

The balance of his immense estate is divided equally between his son, James M. Fowler, his daughter, Mrs. Ophelia Duhme, of Cincinnati, and his graudson, Fowler Chase. The tract of 27,000 acre of Bon ton county lands is to be kept together and unsold for tweuty-five years.

Young Wheeler i9 a New Richmond barber who loved not wisely but too well, and was married not long since, but lie paid the same attentions and respect to a ynuugladyto whom he had been pouring out sweet love stories these many days. Her father got ontoasecret meeting of the foolish lovers. He was there with a loaded club aud a bull dog and gave the young man a reception he will not soon forget. Wheeler was badly bruised up, aud his clothes torn into shreds by the dogs.

A young man living near Elmdale attempted to commit rape 011 a young lady of that vicinity one day last week. He was not able to accomplish the deed ou account of some uien coming up. She fought him savagely, and lie tore her clothes almost almost all off. After the attempt he saw what a mistake he had made aud lied the country to avoid punish-

THINGS L'OI.ITICALLY-

"Say, MH. RKVIKW," said a good democrat, Monday, "I have a first-class, all wool aud a yard wide man for you to say a good word for, that is if you are lookiug for winning timber, which of course you are. It is Allen Robiusou, and if there is a man in this productive county of ours that could make a race that would go down on record as a hummer you need not look farther." 'Tie a fact, too, for Allen would make a good Sheriff, and would make the other fellow get up and hustle.

Say, I despise a kicker, don't you? But they are falling back into the Hues now and want to be recognized for future favors. Some of them may be, but if they are this youthful mind will miss its guess. If you help slaughter a man don't expect him to be a fool and tear his shirt off working for you. -p'.,

You might just as well make up your minds, dear, good republicans, that Ike Shevlin 1B going to work like a colored clergyman at a «amp-rneeting for the office of Sheriff. He says his home is Crawfordsville, and don't you forget it he wants the office for what there is in it He lias done a big lot ef work, and how are you going to pass him by yes, how?

That the $450 is safe In the county treasury is an assured fact, and the REVIEW'S bad grammar used its little pencil to Borne good effect. Now who had it? We are not going to be satisfied just with the money. We want the other fellow, and we want to see him give some account of this kind of funny busiuess. Montgomery county tax-payers, this is aserious state of affairs. You lost the money, and when it was returned a Board of County Commissioners allow the culprit to go unpunished. Who was the man that got that money, and why don't the Board of Commissioners find out? If he was a democrat they would not hesitate. If he is a republican why should they pass it iu such a manner? They are the people's officers and not a political party's machine.

Peace be unto thee, poor, disappointed republicans. John Bonnell has the postofiice, and you "kaunt help it, cher know." Kick all you want to you did not stand in aud was left holding the sack. It was "hooks," great "hooks," aud for once we cannot say "I told

you so." We did not think Bonnell wanted it half as bad as they said he did. Fullenwider can now move to Fouutain county Mike White can take his dose and get ready for another campaign's work, aud the small fish can or must be contented.

Oh, yes, it was through Burford's "inllooence" that Johnny Bonnell got the post office, and a few of the fellows who were not in* the ring are kicking holeB in the sky. Poor, Billy geese, they want everything and don't know why they want it, and the only is to put a sponge in their mouths and let them kick. Yes, Burford, if you can't fix her, elixer.

And now comes the inouinful news that John C. Wingate, our own west end Coal Creek "Kunnell John," is after the Auditor's office ou his side (not ours) of the fence. Now Coal Creek has some of the biggest cranks this side of Texas, and they always want to kick. They are jealous of John Wingate, and like Wal Tiffany once did, they will stand iu his way to slaughter him. We intended to run John for Congress, but if he wants to enter a Richburg ring we are willing. Please shake hands, gentlemen, and break away.

Some fellows are mad because we don't say something about them for an office In this patent-applied- for column of ours. Now, gentlemen, we are perfectly willing to give you all a pretty little speech and say good, kind words about you if you will only send up your card aud let us know what office you want,

Capt. Munhall took charge of the Recorder's office, Wednesday, aud if every day was like the opening the Captain would no doubt move the whole concern to New Ross and run it for the benefit of Walnut township exclusively. A REVIEW man was wandering around our mysterious seat of justice and saw a Richbuig battle, without the necessary referees. The deputy sheriffs were all counted in and Charley Davis acted as time-keeper A. B. Cunningham was bottle holder, Walter Hulet took down the rounds, and Frank Ramsey was a spectator. John Johnson and A. C. Jenmson were principals, and the way they scored each other was shocking to a reporter ajtd the human beings present. Jennison called the Irish martyr all the ugly names invented by your uncle Noah Webster, and manufactured a few himself, and if half be true that he said this exotlicial has,been a tough man. We don't know that it iB, but Jennison says so, and there are many people who believe he is a truthful man.

By the way, where were the sold iers when the post office was given out? How do you feel, old veterans around the camp-lire? Are you tenting out to-uight on the field of disappointment? Do you look back to '63 when you saw your dear comrades bleeding on the battle field and knew not what moment you would be called to suffer death to save your country and think what recompense they give you for it? Capt. Elmore headed the procession at Indiauapolis last Thursday and carried the dear old flag. But he stands back to give room for the fellows who do the fine work. It is all bosh about one political party being a better friend than the other. They all want your votes, and if you receive anything more than you deserve it is just a bonafide purchase of your right as an American citizen, m«

of the leading residents of Coal Creek town- all want it. One colored brother said, "I'se ship, and he should spare no pains I11 seeing I been workiu' for this republican party nigli that the law was meted out to such scoundrels-. onto 14 years and I'se deservin' of somefin and

o'er the wire from Harry Cnnnard, saying th: John Bonnell had the post office. Houston Bent one verifying the statement and there was happiness, cuss words and disappointment in the camp of our enemy. Bouneil is postmaster aud no doubt he will make a good one. The Journal trod lightly and gave up the prize like a little man, though our friend McCain silently muttered "Editors should he respected and the press given something.'' Capt. Elmore carried the little flag and now wishes he had gone to the ball game. He looks earnestly into the fuI ture and says hope never vanishes until death.

But Mike White, ye honest yeoman, expected to pluck the prize aud felt as if he was more deserving than all. He now stands sereuely by and has only one speech, "Your uncle Beu is unjust. I made the speeches, but always got in the soup." Bob Smith read the newsliko eating files, and sang of post office dreams and patent medic'ne fume. Joe McDaniel has practiced on names at the dry goods store ever since Ben was counted iu and now salutes the brave commander as "hooks, lug hooks." Boh Fullenwider left for Fountain county as soon as the news arrived, and will move his washing there now. Sad but true, hoys, 3 on are left in the soup. The sun doesn't shine as brightly as in days of yore. It has a dark spot of disappointment across it. Bonnell now has his hands full of applicants for offices. J. H. Cook will be his deputy and he says as soon as he takes possession lie will turn the rascals out. That's right. There are 60*applicauts for mail carriers already, 10 of them being colored boys. We stand by aud see the fun. We are in the soup and know it, but we can enjoy the funny work just as well as if we were at the helm and ruled supreme.

Ho Stored It.

John Fireball is a young farm hand who has been working for Jonas Mitchell of Coal Creektownship, aud was always thought to' he a trusty employe. Last Saturday lie took a wagon load of wheat for Mr. Mitchell to Frank Hallowell, the Waynetown miller, to store it away for his flour, but instead of doing as instructed he sold the wheat, securing a check which was cashed by Morris Herzog, aud then Bkipped the country and has not been heard from since. The team was left standing in the Btreet until late in the evening when it was taken to a livery stable and a telephone message sent to Mr. Mitchell who came after them. He is the loser of 32. bushels of wheat, or $22.50, and as young Fireball has not beeu hoard from it is supposed he stored it, but stored the money iu his own pocket.

It looks as if Adam Forepaugh' intends" to stick to his resolution expressed here two years ago that he did not intend in visit I,aFayette again. His circus is adveriised to appear during the last of September in all the neighboring towns, hut so far there is no intimation of his coming here. When Forepaugh was here two years ago his audiences were not as large as he thought they ought to be, aud he said to a Courier representative that it woule be a long time before Lafayette saw him again.—Lafayette Courier.

It would seem like all the circuses had given this portion of Indiana the go-by for some years past, yet cities avoided by them are ro doubt the gainers, and if noue ever came again the public will survive their continued absence.
