Even Up.
The second shooting contest between Co. B, ol Terre Haute, and Co. I, of this city, took place at the Talbot farm at 10 o'clock yesterday morning resulting in another victory for Co. I. The personal scores of the contestants were not as good as on the former occasion. The result was Co. 1,189 points Co. B, 182 points. In the afternoon a ball club was selected from each company and retired to the college diamond to struggle for honors. In this Co. I was whipped, the score standing Co. B, 18 Co. 1,11. During the game of ball quite a serious accident occurred which was the only incident which marred a day of rare sport for tho two companies. A collision between Clint Gutherie, of Co. I, and a runner in Co.B.at second base,resulted in a broken shoulder blade for Gutherie. Aside from this the day was pleasantly spent and will long be remembered by the two companies.
Will Probated.
The will of Ellis F. Little was admitted to probate this week, with H. M. Billings and Wm. B. Pickett as subscribing witnesses. In all probability no letters testamentary will be issued in this case, as everything he possessed goes to his widow, she having exclusive right to dispose of all the property as she may see fit, under the provisions of the will.

They babyed around and quit on the fourth inning. It does seem that Crawfordsville can sliow up the smallest at home or abroad of any place on the face of the worth.—Rockville Tribune.
It is a matter of small moment anywhere. The public il rapidly coming to the conclusion that the average base ball player is but a step above the loafer, and whether received "Cordially or with detestation at home or a«. uad is a matter of indifference to the public.

To give some idea of the amount of business a man in office is expected to dispose of in the interest of his constituents we will say that during the short time the legislature was iu session last fall Hon.

Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophetseems as far off in bis calculations about tiie' future state of the weather as any of the rest of them. Last Monday and Tuesday, according to his prognostigationB, both those days were to be "hot and sultry." The reverse came nearer the truth, and linen coats and straw hats were not in demand and do not seem likely to be soon. His calculations are not any nearer correct, spite of his reputation, than scores of other so-termed "weather prophets."
Invitations are out for the annual reception given by the members of the class of '90 of the High School which will take place on Thursday evening, June 5, at the K. of P. armory.

S., 1890," and on the third page appears the names of members of the class, twenty-two in number, which are exclusive of the two colored members who will give a reception of their own. The affair is looked forward to with much pleasure.

It will be built, if at all, by both counties, taking a strip in each two miles wide.

Two road grader contests were held before the board of public improvements Tuesday. Three machines were given a trial, one from Tin8iey & Martin's, one from Zack Mahorney's and one from Lifayette.

After twenty years of high protection, nearly all the smali industries of the country have died out or have been swallowed up by the big fish. Tne writer remembers when woolen mills dotted this section of Indiana'and Hocks of sheep were to be seen on every farm. These woolen mills are gone and the sheep also, yet there are men who tell us that protection on wool is a benefit to the farmer.

In looking over the commissioner's allowances this week we find that Sheriff McClaskey was allowed $44.70 for posting notices for the April election. While we may be very verdant in the mode of managing the sheriff's office, yet this bill looks to a man up a tree to be enormous in proportion to the labor performed. We will not comment further but will let the tax-payers diagnose the caBe at their leisure, and tbey will pbssibly learn where their hard earned dollars are going.
That Enumeration, You Know. It will be remembered that last April the county commissioners ordered Frank Sharpe and E. S. Simpson to take an enumeration of Union township and the city of Crawfordsville, ostensibly for the purpose of redisricting the voting precincts according to the late election law and that the same should be paid for by the tax-payers. The motive for this order was only too apparent—that of being strictly in the interest of the republican party to poll the townBbip and city in the interest of that party at the coming November election, and was at the time exposed by the REVIEW. We said then, and we reiterate that the enumeration could have been made from the assessor's books and have saved the tax-payers this additional expense. Any sane person knowB this: but not so with that august body, and the work was ordered. At the session this week Sharpe and Simpson reported their work finished and filed their claims. Simpson's claim was for $65.25 and Sharpe's .$75 even money, Upon being questioned by that venerable son of the Emerald Isle as to why his (Sharpe's) bill was larger than Simpson's, Sharpe replied that he did some extra work in preparing plate and making books for use by the republican

committeemen in the out townships. Mr. P. informed him that he had only been hired to do the work of Uuion township and therefore would cut his bill down in uniform with Simpson'e. Sharpe seriously objected to this and it looked as though he would cause trouble, but Uncle John Peterson was fully equal tothe occasion and tenderly caressing the outraged enumerator whispered that they would make' that all right shortly by hiring him to do the same work in the out townships. This appeased Sharpe's wounded pride nud he retired. The work is the worst case of bungling ever recorded in the annals of the county. Thepoll is fully 300 short, the shortage occurring principally here in the city. But the report was accepted and paid for and the 1nx-pnyere must quietly submit. What do yon think of it?

Wm! J. Armstrong, who residua nt Bowers' Station but who was sent up to the penitentiary on a three-and-a-half years' sentence for the attempted murder of his wife, has been patrolled by Gov. Hovey, and returned to this county this week. He had ten months to serve. Armstrong when not under the control of whisky, was a useful man in his locality. He run a saw mill, employed a number of hands and always did a good business. He knows now how to abstain from the use of whisky. They all learn it after goiug to prison, and if he but determines to make a man of himself hereafter, he Bhould and will receive the encouragement of those who knew him before his downfall.
