WHO IS MAYOR?

A Question the Courts May Be

Called Upon to Settle.

When the inspectors met Thursday to canvas the vote cast last Tuesday a legal question presented itself which places the matter of election in serious doubt. It is well known that on the republican ticket there appeared two nmnes for the same office viz.: O. W. Elmore for the long term and T. L. StiI well for the short term for mayor. On the other hand the democrats held there was no such thing as a short term, and made no nomination to cover it. If '•hiq bo true then the bend the republics tic!c«t is invalud and .Mr. njamin is mayor. A sain, if tho ticket is valid it is claimed Mr. StilUvell is elected because ho received the highest number of votes cast, the result being Elmore 061, Stilwell 930 and Benjamin 840. When the canvassing board met the democratic members and one republican, Mort Beckner, refused to certify to the election of Mr. Elmore on the grounds above stated. All day was spent in arguirg the matter. Legal talent was called in but that only tended to confuse the Imard as no two opinions were alike. About five o'clock in the evening, however, the board reached an agreement that they would sign the certificate, the democrats doiugso under protest, and the matter will now be taken to the courts for final settlement

TO FILL THE" VACANCIES

Made By the "Quitters" in Com

pany M—Thirty Young Men Go to

Camp Mount.

Tuesday afternoon I. C. Elston.Jr.. came over from Camp Mount for the purpose of securing thirty voluntesrs to fill the gap in Company made vacant by the resignation of that number of its members. Mr. Elston called a meeting at the court house and in less than an hour the necessary number was secured and returned with him to Indianapolis on the evening train. It is the desire of Capt. Wert that Company shall be strictly a Montgomery county company, and there will be no trouble in keeping it such. Following is a list of the new recruits: W. L. Richmond, Jas. Wilhite, Jas. A. Dinneen, W. H. Miller, Fred Vanhook, George Fry, D. Callahan, Robert Courtney, Chas. Ellis, George Borst, George Little, Harry Ervin, G. F. Nicholson, Walter J. Lee, Archie Caper, Ira Ellis, Amos Gosnell! J. B. Casey, W. M. Youngblood, Harry Mitchell, Guy McMains W. A. Fordyse, Thos. Murray, Walter W. Britten, Chas. E. Britton, M. D. Manson, Art Grimesi Frank M. Bible, Jesse Caplinger, Louis Beatty.

Tired of Being Coroner May be. From an Indianapolis dispatch to the Enquirer on Wednesday, we judge Dr. Barcus is tiring of the coroner's office and aspires to something higher. The dispatch is as follows: "The medical staff at Camp Mount is threatened with disruption on account of the fact that Drs. William Barcus, of Crawfordsville and F. Jenner Hodges, of Anderson! have been recommended by Tajlor Durbin, of Governors Mount's staff for positions as surgeons in the brigade after muster. According the regular army provisions, one additional surgeon is appointed to each regiment after it is mustered in. Colonel Wright, chief of the hospital corps, has had occasion to believe that certain meritorious men under him would be given the positions, and if they are not, a rupture may occur. The men referred to were examined to-day by Captain Wakeman for the regular service, and passed."

An excellent and invaluable remedy, for the cure of cough, cold and hoarseness, is Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, and Mr. Jas. Hadfield, 350 West St., New York City, verifies this statement. He writes "Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup 1b a most excellent remedy for cough, cold and hoarseness, and I take great pleasure in recommending it to all, who require such a valuable household medicine." Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is sold everywhere for 25 cents.

NOBODY CLAIMED THE PAPER

A Robulte by General Washington That Kvidently Frightened the Owner. luajur William Pierce left behind him a partial record of the debates in Philadelphia which supplement those of Madison, Yates and King also the following anecdote:

When the convention first oponed at Philadelphia, there were a number of propositions brought forward as great leading principles for the new government to be established for the United States. A copy of these propositions was given to each member, with an injunction to keep everything a profound seoret. One morning, by accident, one of the members dropped his copy of the propositions, which, being luckily picked up by General Mifflin, was presented to General Washington, our president, who put it in his pocket. After the debates of the day were over and the question for adjournment was called for the general arose from hi-s seat and, previous to his putting the question, addressed the convention in the following manner: "Gentlemen, I am 6orry to find that some one member of this body has been so neglectful of the- secrets of the convention as to drop in the statehouse a copy of their proceedings, which by acoident was picked np and delivered to nfe this morning. 1 must entreat gentlemen to be more careful, lest our transactions get into the newspapers and disturb the publio repoA by prematnre speculations. I know not whose paper it is, but there it is (£hrowing it down on the table). Let him who owns it take it." At the same time he bowed, pioked up his hat and quitted the room with a dignity so severe that every person seemed alarmed. For my part, I was extremely so, for, putting my hand in my pocket, I missed my copy of the same paper, but, advancing np to the table, my fears soon dissipated. I found it to be the handwriting of another per. son. When I went to my lodgings at the Indian Queen, I found my copy in a coat pooket which I bed pulled off that morning. It is something remarkable that BO person ever owned the paper.— American Historical Review.

COST OF WAR.

It Won't Be More Expensive Than the Billion Dollar Congress* Senator Hale of Maine, who has been so conservative on th'e Cuban question that he has been frequently denounoed as a Spanish sympathizer, now believes that there is great liability to war between the United States and Spain: He Will be for it of course. He will vote for every dollar of appropriation necessary to carry it on. "Congress in its present frame of mind," he says, "will take some radical action—action that means war." He says it will "cost the United States possibly $500,000,000 and the foulness interests a muoh larger snm/'ij

It may cost the government a good deal more than 1500,000,000 and the real business interests nothing at all. The figure which Mr. Hale gives as an estimate is about what it costs to run the government a year in time of peaoe under the era of extravagance ^phich came with the Fifty-first congress. That Was known to the country as the billion eongress. Comparisons of this sort enable the reader to form some intelleotual, practical measurement of a large um of money. It will teach him, too, that the reoent appropriation of $50,000,000 for the national defense waa not a monster affair.—Cincinnati Enquirer."

MRS. THOMAS CARLYLE.

One Occasion When the Clever Womaa Waa Surprised and Confounded. The brightest time for Mrs. Carlyle'a talk was during dinner. Day after day she poured forth witty stories, most of Which I have almost forgotten, but in any case it would be desecration to attempt to repeat almost any of them. The characteristics of living men and women were often dashed off in a few pithy words, not without satirical touches. George Henry Lowes was not one of her favorites, but I noted with pleasure the way in which she spoke of the wonderful transformation effected by the influence on him of George Eliot.

One of her experiences was when visiting a shoemaker's shop to make a purchase, at the time when sandaled shoes were worn, like those represented in the original illustrations of Dickens. The sandals were of black ribbon, unout until the shoes were worn by the purchaser at home. Mrs. Oarlyle tried on many shoes, and each time that a shoe proved unsuitable she unconsciously slung it on to her left arm. Being at last suited, and having paid her bill, she left the shop, and bad walked a little way when she heard a shout behind her. Looking back she saw the shopman running after her, much excited and insisting on her returning the stolen shoes. Looking down, she saw to her surprise a number of shoes dangling from her arm. The man indignantly asked her name and address. Her astonishment was 6uch that her name was alliterated for a time from her memory and all she could recollect was her maiden name, "Miss Welsh." The humor in this tale was enhanced to those who knew her from its being so much out of keeping with her usual shrewdness and self possession that no one could have predicted it of her.

Her death scene, a year later, when "Mr. Silvester," as she named her coachman, during a drive, turned and looked into the carriage—surprised at receiving no orders as to route—and saw her sitting, lifeless, with a pet dog on ber knee, has often risen to my thoughts.

My strongest impression was of the deep 'mutual love evidently subsisting between Mrs. Carlyle and her husband. Every subject we disoussed seemed to recall thoughts of him. If the piano were opened, his song of the"blueday" was referred to or asked for if any literary man were mentioned, hiB.opinion of him was. given, or a story .was told showing his relation to other men of note. I felt as if listening to the love talk of a youthful engaged couple, and when, in later days, Fronde opened up a floodgate of misunderstanding I felt assured there was a radical misconception of the true state of affairs.—New York Independent.

A Painful^ Humor

On the Ankle Spread to the Knee and Developed Into Boils—No Trouble Since faking Hood's. "I was troubled with a disagreeable itching on one of my ankles. In time it developed into boils of which I had five or six at a time. The humor spread from myankletomy kneeand was very painful. It baffled the skill of physicians. For weeks I oould not bear my weight on this foot. An abscess formed and was lanced and the humor broke out on my other ankle and threatened to repeat my former experience. Hood's Sarsaparilla attracted my attention and I began taking it. In six weeks I was better, and began to hope for a permanent cure. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla six 'ithsand was entirely cured. I have had no trouble with humor since that time." MKS. M. B. MACINTOSH, Barrington, Illinois. Remember
