Brookshire Heads the List. For sometime past there haB been complaint among a certain class of democrats and even a few have presumed to publicly criticise what they term the tardiness of Congressman Brookshire in appointing postmasters in this district. That Mr. Brookshire has been anything but dilatory or neglectful of his duties in this respect is very erroneous as is shown by the following correspondence in yesterday's Indianapolis Sentinel:

Sentinel Bureau,

Washington, D. C., June 29.

The race between Congressman Bretz of the Second, Cooper of the Fifth, and Brookshire of the Eigth is an exceedingly close one—Cooper having secured one more appointment than Bretz, while Brookshire heads the list with one more than Cooper.

Fire at Kirkpatriok.

Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the residence of Wm. Cox, on ilie farm of John Peterson, near Kirkpatrick, caught fire from a defective flue and was burned to the ground.* Most of the household goods were destroyed. An adjacent smoke-house and creamery also took fire and together with contents were entirly consumed. Mr. Cox carried an insurance of $100 on his household goods while Mr. Peterson had the buildings well covered with insurance.

Henry Jelly, the reportsi prominent business man of Terre Haute who was in Indianapolis Saturday in search of his runaway wife, is not a resident of Terre Haute.

A big jot or excavating and grading on the railway between Jamestown and New Ross has been under way for several months and probably wili not be completed until late next fall. The track is being lowered for a distance of a mile or more, and in some places exca vations to the depth from twelve to fifteen feet have been made.

The Argue News takes the sensible position that the city is in no hurry for brick streets, sewers, etc., but should first get out of debt. This might work a hardship on some interested parties who have been figuring on big contracts in connection with this contemplated work, but it is the correct view to take of the matter.

George P. Haywood received a partial allowance of $500 Saturday for his services as assistant prosecutor in the riot cases The many friends of Judge Paige, of Frankfort, will be pained to learn that there has been no improve meut in his condition since he was taken to the insane asylum at Indianapolis, and that there is no prospect for his recovery.—Lafayette Courier.

The McNutta were his attorneys, and he alleges that they retained $2,750 for fees, when their portion was but $1,100, He also alleges that they had the money in the bank, instead of paying it into court, and that when he sought to pro. tact his rights by filing a protest, County Clark Warren would not record it.

Will They Out A Pie-tire.

It will not be long until newspapers readers will be reading editorials captioned something like this: "The A. P. A., in Local Politics." That the organization designated by these initials has political intentions of a pronounced character there can be but little doubt. As the majority of its members whose connection with the association has been admitted are republicans, it is pronounced a republican organization formed for the purpose of weakening the ranks of opposing parties by appealing to the religious prejudices of their members. Many of the local members of this association have become known through their admission on the witness stand in the riot case trials. Others have become known through other mediums of discovery. And of the number who are known a very large majority claims allegiance to the Republican party.

At Indianapolis recently the A. P. A. took an active part in the election of Bchool trustees, and the Sentinel declares that the object of the association fell far short of realization. The News says that in the coming city election in that city both of the leading partieB have decided not to nominate Catholics to escape the antagonism of the A. P. A., and that the latter will support the Republican nominee.—Lafayette Journal,

Council Meeting.

The council met Monday evening in regular session. It was decided to put in an arc light at the intersection of the paved alleys about the court house, nw

The city treasurer reported that he had collected the benefits for the extension of Hocum street and stood prepared to settle for the damage.

W. T. Whittington, the new city attorney, made his appearance and was greeted with a hearty round of applause and was at once requested to look into the aeritB of the Halpin damage case.

Hid Crane was allowed $45 for painting 300 electric light poles at 15 cents a pele.

A Great Freak.

George Russell, a horseman with headquarters at tbe fair ground, has on exhibition a wonderful freak that is attracting much attention. It is a strong and healthy colt that was foalded on the farm of William Harp, two months ago. Its hind legs are perfectly natural and sysstnetrical but it has but one fore leg. This leg is perfect except for the fact that at the knee a peculiar appendage hangB down. It is the lower portion of a cow's leg with a very large and perfectly developed hoof. Where the Becond fore leg should be is the most peculiar deformity, however. It grows out from the colt's shoulder and is a child's arm minus the hand. Its shape and proportions are exact and the elbow movement perfect. It is, however, covered with hair. The colt is a dark bay and is perfectly gentle except when roused to anger, when it snaps and bites in a vicious inrnner. It cannot walk but proceeds with a springing hop rising on its hind legs.

52ND YEAR.-

ME- FINCH EIPPED UP. 1

His Address Against Co-Education Oansei Some Unfavorable Comment. Under the head of ."An Oratorical Rip Van Winkle," the Indianapolis'Journal goes after J. A. tinch editorially for his address against co-education, delivered from the stage of Music Hall last Wednesday. The Journal says:

In his address on co-education,' dehveredat Wabash college, on Wednesday, Mr. John A. Finch does not make himself quite clear on all points. He is strongly opposed to co-education, but declares there should be no such a thing as the "woman question" in existence."'

Ihe latter proposition is one in which the advocates of co-oducation are in agreement with him, and, as a step toward thiB desirable end they wish young women to have equal educationaladvantagesith their brothere. Every move in this] direction is one towards doing away with the question- that so irritates Mr. Finch. When all schools are open to men and women alike there wili be no woman question, so far as educational matters are concerned.

In another phase ot. the subject the speaker is out of date. It is a fiction very pleasing to masculine vanity that the curriculum of colleges open alone to mule students, is so severe that it is mastered only by the greatest physical and mental Btrain—but it IB a fiction. It iB also a mistaken notion that the higher schools and colleges for girls aroless exacting in their .'requirements than those for boys. It is a matter of careful scientific record that girls complete the advanced courses in these institutions without loss of health, and that in coeducational: schools they maintain their position in the classes with no greater effort of mind and body than do their brothers. Sudeuts may overwork, but as a rule they do not. If symptoms of mental and bodily exhaustion manifest themselves they can usual-* ly be traced to attempt to combine social gayeties with class work toan imposBible degree. With the physical exercise and training that are now a part of all well managed schools,^ and with the wholesome interest in out-of- door sports now so common among youth of both sexes, there is little danger that women will suffer the "fearful cost" Mr,

Finch anticipates.

Cholera Prospects.

Dr. Metcalf, secretary of the Board of Health, IB keeping a very close eye upon the ravages of cholera in Europe. A circular issued by the government is received every week Bhowing just where the disease is prevailing on the continent. 'I 'f "The prospects of escaping the plague," said the eecretaiy of the board yesterday, are now very goed. But I do not like the way smallpox haB crept into the Stat*. If this disease can get into our ports so easily, it will not be hard for cholera to get a foothold. Perhaps the disinfection if not BO thorough from ports not knowi' to have cholera, but whether cholera breaks out or not in this country, Indiana is pretty well able to take care of itself.a Our board believeswe have p'ans that will, with the money on hand, be effective in keeping the plague out of the State. The smallpox has been confined to its original limits.

The Old Story Repeated.

William M. Cunningham, a contractor and|builder of Merom, Sullivan county, Ind., having received an anonymus letter that his wife, who visited Torre Haute ostensibly for medical treatment, was really paying visits of a different character, tracked her here today and saw her with the aid of a duplicate key enter the room of Frank Fairbanks, a wealthy young man, the breeder of fast horses. He summoned a policeman and effected an entrance. Sho was alone. A sensational scene ensued, a tragedy being barely prevented. He left, she remaining. She urged him to sue for divorce, as Bhe did, not love him any longer.cShe is thirty-nine years old. They have been married eighteen years and have no children. Several hundred spectators were attracted to the spot by the unusual scene, which has caused a sensation. .. ,•*
