Mike White For Governor.

While many of the republican papers throughout the State have expressed their preference for favorites before the coming State convention for their governorship. we, this week, present the Dame of one who would sweep the entire Wabash valley like a cyclone, not leaving a vestige of democracy of seed,—we have reference to that Christian gentleman, honest Michael D. White, brave, conscientious, dignified and scholarly. His name is a household word all up and the Wabash valley, and no man stands higher in the estimation of the people than honest, old MICHAEL D. WHITE.— Spence's Peoples Paperi

A Grand Opening.

Promptly at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning the doors of the New York Bankrupt clothing store, on east Main street were thrown open and the big crowd that was waiting to bo admitting filed in and for the remainder of the day the large force of clerks were kept busy waiting on customers. It was a veritable bee hive of industry. The rush is yet going on and will continue. The proprietors have a mammoth stock of goods and are selling them cheaper than clothing was ever sold before in this county. Now is your opportunity. Go.

The Union Scout

Is to be given at Music Hall Feb. 26th by 40 ladies and gentlemen of Crawfordsville. It is a production of great merit. The scenes are life like, thrilling with historical suggestions. The Union Scout is a spectacular play and allegory of "Shermans Great March Through Georgia." The scenery and wardrobe is very elaborate and not equaled on the American stage, aud is the production of our fellow townsman,

A Bier Suit.

Last Tuesday the law firm of Snyder & Brush, as legal representatives of Hurley & Clodfelter, attorneys, filed a suit in the circuit court against Sarah O. Doherty, Mat Doherty and children, Marsh Doherty, Florence Dohorty and their children, to recover $21,000 as fees due them while acting as counsel in the case of the Dohertys' against John B. Kobb and Lillie Street to recover mineral lands near Joplin, Mo. The complaint also asks that the conveyance bo set aside of the Doherty homestead on South Green street, which was recently deeded to Marsh and Mat Doherty's heirs. The complaint states the transfer was made with the purpose of beating them out of their fees. That the plaintiffs, after great expense and time, were successful in both suits prosecuted against Robb and Mrs. Street, that the Dohertys, Robbs and Streets hold a great love feast thereafter, compromised their troubles by each taking a slice of the valuable mineral lands ia Missouri and left plaintiffs to whistle for their fees. The case promises several startling reyelations and will attract much attention. Hanna & Hanna and Crane & Anderson will appear for the defendants.

The Beer Mug's Revenge.

Charles Annable runs a gin dive opposite the Monon depot which is known as one of the toughest places in the State. It is the custom of a gang of prostitutes and thoir pimps to gather at this resort every Saturday night and raise merry sheol. They carry on their carousals openly, fearlessly and in defiance to the police who are either afraid to raid the joint or are profitably handicaped, we don't know which. Last Saturday night the .usual motley crew assembled and soon had their hides well soaked with "oil of joy," During the high old time which followed one of the dear girls becamed mixed up with Chawles in a discussion over the immoral influences Ouida's latest effort would have in the social and literary swim and sought to impress her argument by grabbing a beer glass and thumping the "deah fellah" a couple of well aimed and forcible raps on the head. ChawieB quickly succumbed by falling to the floor and treating himself to a bath in lii& own blood. It was red-hot for a time, but peace was finally restored. A physician was summoned and Annable's wounds, which, unfortunately were not of a serious nature, dressed and ho was put to bed. As usual no arrests followed nor are they likely to.

Making Beds of Eoses.

Slowly but surely is the present city council erecting some easy berths contingent to the city's cash box. Well do each of the "light" gang realize that at the close of their present terms their names are mud with a great big and in consequence are creating some nice easy offices for each of them to fall heir to. Last Tuesday night Uncle Jeff Scott's case was taken up and the office of Superintendent of the light plant created for him. which, with its salary of $300 per year, will go far toward keeping the gaunt wolf from the door. Bobby Smith comes next and will probably be made "Analyzer of Public Pap." Mayor Carr, who is serving his last term, must also bo provided for. Willie has been Jeff Scott's side partner and must of necessity be rewarded for his fidelity. He may be made "Public Advisor for the Rising Poor" and be employed to deliver his lecture on "How to Build a 83,000 Home on An Annual Salary of 8800 and Have Money Left to go to the Circus." Other offices will be created on demand until all are supplied. What a glorious thing is our republican city government.

"Shenandoah."

Only words of highest praise have ever been spoken of Bronson Howard's famous warjplay, "Shenandoah," which is to bo seen here at Music Hall Feb. 19. The story of the play is one of the brighter threads running through the sombrejwoof of the civil war. There is a dash and spirit to it that holds tho interest from beginning to end. Tho audience laughs, often immoderately and then again tho more susceptible to, pathetic scenes moved toj tears. There'are c!:r«axes that burst forth in a spirit of patriotism aud true devotion, awakening tho deepest admiration in the auditor, whose heart responds to the inspiring call of noble sentiments. Pathos and comedy run hand in hand. The heart is thrilled with a noble sympathy, and one's whole being is wrought up to a high pitch when, like a cooling breeze in tho summer sun, come a shower of comedy that carries tho audience away in the most happy and pleasant thoughts, while they laugh with redoubled energy, and tho tear-stained eyes sparkle anew with merriment. No one is "starred" in the cast now presenting the play, but every member of the company has beon selected with an especial view to his or her fitness for their respective roles. Consequently a finished and very enjoyable performance nay be counted upon.

ON MAIN STREET, OPPOSITE COURT HOUSE.

Death of Dr. Mary Wilhite. Dr. Mary Mitchel Wilhite died at her home, corner of Wabash and Grant Avenues, last Monday night, after a short illness of congestion of the lungs at the age of 61 years. She was born in this county, her parents residing a few miles south of the city. She early in life manifested a studious character and finally resolved to make a profession of medicine. There were no lady .doctors in the State at that time and when she graduated from the Penn Medical College of Philadelphia in 1856 she was not only the first Indiana lady to graduate from a medical cellego but was the first to begin the practice of medicine in the State. Thirty-one years ago she was married to Elezar A. Wilhite, who with four grown children, Edward, Mary, Stanton and Bertha, survive her. Dr. Mary Wilhite's career was a busy and useful one. Nearly all her life has been devoted to charitable work, and in this she did much good. A call from a hovel in tho dead hours of tho night found as quick and ready response as one from a palace with its liveried servants. She was a friend to the poor, the feeble, the unfortunate, and her death will be' sorely folt. To her efforts is duo the establishment of tho Orphans' Home, an institution of unlimited good and a perpetual monument to her noblo christian character. Only those who knew her best will miss her most. The funeral occurred from the family residenco Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and was largely attended. Rev. S. W. Brown, of the Christian church, officiated. The interment took place at Oak ITill.
