A Meteoric Shower.

A meteoric shower, or fall of "stars,'' is billed for to morrow morning from 2 o'clock until daylight by the astronomers. These cool nights it is not probable many people will stay up out of bed to see the shower.

There is little doubt now but that the Monon will soon be operating the Chicago & Southwestern, at least all indications point to that result. Should this prove true, Henry Crawford's "Midland' will then become a railroad

Into Winter Quarters.

J. H. LaPearl pulled into winter quarters to his farm two miles southwest of Danville, III,, on Monday last, after a successful season in Arkansas and Missouri. Next year with the addition of a 14 cage menagerie and a number of large animals on foot his show will be three times the size of former years.

RUMORED CANDIDATES

At the City and County Nominations next Year. It is less than six months from now until the city election. Already a numberjjf individuals are talked of as candidatfiB and some of them are doing the talking themselves. For the office of Mayor four or five names are mentioned as candidates from among the republicans. Among them are Wm. Carr, who formerly held thn place and pr bably thinks he can do it again. McCampbell, who tnjoys the distinction of holding two city officeb now and isprobiibly raaking 81,000 per year out of them, wants to be Mayor and is taking occasion to make it known whenever a good opportunity offers. R. C. Smith, the druggist, it is said, desires to be Mayor. He was councilman once and this iittle bit of official life charmed him and he would willingly exchange the position of selling pills and paregoric for that of boss over the city. Charles Ulmo~e, late county assessor, it is reported, thinks he could till the chair. If size is meant he probably could, and he would probably discharge the duties as well as any heretofore holding down the job. Tom Stilwell will ar^ain be a candidate for Mayor. He always is and perhaps will continue to be. It is certain if he can spare enough time from riding to Indianapolis and back he will make the canvass for the nomination.

Charles benjamin will be a candidate for Mayor before the democratic city nominating election next spring.

There v»ill no doubt be a large number oi' candidates for city offices,whose name are now unknown.

Grimes, Bannister, Hyatt, Brothers and others, are all 6poken of as candidates for Marshal.

For county offices a nambsr of names are spoken of. Many persons supposed the report circulating for some time past that Jake Joel was a candidate for county treasurer before the next county republican eouvention was untrue—was one of Jake's jokee, but they should die. abuse their minds of this. Jake thinks he has lived here long euough, is old enough, and voted the republican ticket enough to entitle him to consideration, and is an actual candidate.

Mr. Baz. Merrill of Waynetown will also probably be a candidate again for county treasurer on the democratic ticket. There may also be other candidates for the same position from both parties. For Auditor Wm. White, the present incumbent, will perhaps be the nominee of his party, It is said that Tom Nolau of the Sherman House, is setting his 'stakes to run for Auditor on the democratic ticket.

The democracy will have one advantage in the county next year over their opponents injhaving no divisions or dissenbions within their ranks. With the republicans it will be different. There are t*o factions and they will be pleased to knife each other at the first opportunity. The friends of Walkup and Hruner have long memories and in the county contest next yoar will remember the men and their friends who defeated them last year. It was republicans that did it. They know them thoroughly and should any of them offer themselves as candidates will give them a dose of sweet revenge that they will long remember. The opposition to the Walkup-Bruner faction is represented in the Bonnell-Brown-Davis crowd, and between them there are prospects of a right nice time after the tickets are placed in the field.

Charged With Stealing Checks. W. H. Howard, of Linden, is mixed up with the law in a bad way and may have trouble untangling himself. He was arrested at the First National Bank in the afternoon for trying to pass some checks which the officers thought to be forged. He was jailed and the investigation that followed chows that the checks belong to J. L. Church, a Linden merchant. The checks are genuine but Mr. Church claims they were stolen from him several days apo. Howard admits that he knew that ttey belonged to Church but claims he found them and as he was hard up the temptation to keep them proved to much for him. It is apt to prove quite a complicated case.—Frankfort Times.

A Narrow Escape.

Last Sunday afternoon smoke was discovered issuing from the grocery of T. C. Purse), on West Market street, and the total destruction of the building and contents was only prevented by the hasty action of Mr, Pursel, who on entering found the fire had burned away part of the floor and was making fast progress to the hay and feed room. A few bucket? of water sufficed to extinguish the flames. The fire originated from a cigar stub being thrown into a box of saw dust.

DEATH OF JOHN K. QRAY

The Grini Reaper Closes the Career of an Honored Citizen.

John K. Gray, one of Montgomery county's most prominent citizens, died at his home in Waynetown Monday morjing at 1:30 o'clock from a complication of diseases. For many years Mr. Gray had been a sufferer from rbeumatisni but his condition was not considered dangerous until about a week before bis death when he was taken down rcith a mild form of malarial fever and inflammatory iheumEtism, from which time he continued to grow rapidly worse until he peacefully 'passed away into that great beyond there to be united with the dear wife who had preceded him but a few years before. He was 64 years of age and leaves a family of five children, William, "ianford, Stella, Ina and Ethel.

Jack Gray was one of the best known men in Montgomery county, add of whom the county was proud, and at the time of his death was a member of the Board of Equalization. His sterling business integrity and kindly warm nature had endeared him to all. He was a staunch democrat and at all times one of the party's most zealous workers. He was a candidate for the office of sheriff before the nominating convention in 1876 aud was defeated by \V. L. Lee of this city, but was successful in securing the nomination for the Bame office in 1886, only to be defeated at the polls by Captain E. P. McClaskey. He was the son of the late Sanford Gray, organizer of the Montgomery County Horse Thief Detective Association. The funeral occurred from the family residence Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock under the auspices of the Waynetown Masonic Lodge, of which order the deceased was a prominent member. Rev. Nye, of Veedersburg, was the officiating minister, while five brothers and one brother-in-law of the deceased acted as pall bearers. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to Wesley wh' re the interment occurred. Here the beautiful Masonic burial ritual was exemplified under the direction of Will White of Crawfordsville.

RIPLEY COUNTY METHODS

Seem to be Demanded in a Neighbor-

hood West of Thorntown. Judged by the continued lawlessness of Eome men in a neigborhood, near five miles north-west of Thorntown, they need a good big dose of Ripley county methods before the quiet and peace of the community is assured. Bent Coleman, a well-to-do farmer, seetbs to be the victim of continuous prosecutions at the hands of some outlaws, as yet unknown. Friday night for the third time a barn of his, together with some stock, hay, etc., was destroyed by fire. The loss to Mr. Coleman is near $4,000 without a dollar of insurance. The guilty partieq are unknown, but suspicion is directed, we understand, to some people in the neighborhood. Mr, Cole, man should direct his energies to finding who they are hereafter, and cease not until they are punished commensurate with their crime. Until this is done, it would be folly for him to erect any more barns on his place. They will be burned if he should. The insurance companies, aware of some enemy destroying his barns,hereafter would issue no policy on the last one erected by him. ./

To Whom It Hay Concern. DARLINGTON, Ind., October 29, 1897.— This is to certify that the barn and con tents on the Washington Mote estate was destroyed by fire on the night of October 23,1897, and was insured with A. S. Clements in the Home Insurance Company of New York, has been adjusted in full and I can recommend Mr. Clements and his company not only for fairness, but get-there-quick qualities which are very essential in case of loss.

A O. A. R. Surprise.

Several members of the G. A. R. post planned and executed an excellent surprise on their comrade, M. V. B. Smith at his home, on west Main street, last Saturday evening. After a sumptuous repast Mr. Smith was made the recipient of a handsome gold-deaded cane. Comrades Russell, Tinsley, Saunders, Tracy, Snyder, Smith, and Travis.enlivened the evening with b%ppy speeches.

A. S. Reed, manager of the Water and Light company, has been relieved and in a few days will be succeeded by P. C. Hord, of New York. Mr. Reed has been the most efficient manager the company has ever had in this city and hi£ removal is to be regretted.

The trial of Jake Vcris, charged with, forgery in the celebrated Dr. Barnes note case, occurred at Shelbyville this week. The jury was out but fifteen minutes and returned a verdict of acquittal.
