Returns to New Richmond. Eight years of most pleasant business associations bring about ties of friendship that are lasting. Such has been the case of J. W. McCardle's connection with Paddock, Hodge & Co., since June 1G, '90, On Jan. 1st '98 the firm of Paddock, Hodge & Co. was dissolved, J. H. Bowman & Co succeeding them. Saturday last J. W. McCardle severed his connection with the firm by buyiDg the elevator and grounds at this place, giving $5,000 cash for the company's half interest, will now move his family back here where all his interest will be and devote his whole attention to the grain business and the improvements of his reality. His Frankfort residence is for sale, then as soon as other little matters are squared away he will erect a large four-room brick block on the poBt office corner.—Enterprise.

Rockville Light Artillery. The Rockville light artillery was organized at that place Saturday afternoon with 126 members. The following officers were elected Captain, C. C. Uonnelly first lieutenant, Harry B. Fisher junior first lieutenant, E. L. Batmat second lieutenant, James B. Thompson. The boys are drilling three times a week and expect to go to the front in the second call. Application was filed during the first call about May 10. If Dana does not go Rockville will have the next chance, as Parke or Vormillion has not been represented as yet in the service.

Decoration Day at Liberty. Decoration day exercises -vere held at Liberty church, six miles northwest of the city, last Sunday. People gathered from far and near to pay fitting tribute to the fallen heroes, quite a number of whom are buried in tho cemetery there. The cturch was decorated in a profusion of liowers and presented a most beautiful .appearance. Frank Hole and M. E. Foley were present and delivered appropriate addresses. The ceremonies were excellently conducted and reflected much credit on those in charge.

Conventions To-day.

The democrats will meet in the several townships to-day to select delegates to the county convention to be held on June 18. No mistake should be made in the selection of these delegates. Select none but good men. That will insure a good county ticket which means success in November. Attend these conventions. It is your duty.

The annual county Sunday school convention was held at Center church last Friday. The attendance was large, every township in the county being represented.

Lafayette is a rich city—in proportion to population the richest city in Indiana. The total deposits in the four national banks ami the saving banks on the 5th inst. amounted to $2,618,198. This is mostly Mle money, drawing very little interest, and most of it, no interest.

Hon. Charles B. Landis, of Delphi, was honored with a renomination to congress by the unanimous vote of his party. There was talk of some opposition, but it melted away when it became apparent that Landis had things his own way. Now, if the democrats will put up a popular man like Capt. David F. Allen of Frankfort, Charley Landis will have to be satisfied with a aiugle term.—South Bend Times.

YOU MAY BE SURE

"Colonel" Wingate Didn't Suggest

An Investigation—That Isn't

His Style.

Governor Mount says that he has never heard of an alleged Democratic plan of campaign attack on the state officers. When told that Democrats say that John Wingate, of Montgomery, was the republican politician who had urged thejgovexnor to use his influence to stop methods which Democrats say are in vogue at the state house, Governor Mount said: "Mr. Wingate is au old time friend of

myself

and family, and a Sunday

or two ago did come to my house, but he said nothing about the matters you suggest, in fact, we did not talk politics at all. If there is any wrong doing in this state house, I do not know it, and I have not heard it hinted. I hope the Democrats will turn on the search light and give the offices a thorough investigation. Such an investigation wouid redound only to the credit of the Republican party.

If there is anything wrong here, I assure you I will

uo

wait for the

Democratic or any other party to make an investigation. I will do it myself, as far as rests in my power." —Indianapolis News.

Quick Nominations.

From the small number of men offering themselves as candidal.-s this year by both parties it would look like nominations would be made at the conventions with but little delay. For Representative each party, if we understand it, has one candidate for Auditor the same for Treasurer the is one democratic candidate only while the republicans have but two for sheriff one democratic candidate and one republican. There are more candidates for prosecutor this year from the two parties for any tan office. We have heard of no candidates for commissioners, coroner or joint representative. The failure to annouuae of many alleged candidates would indicate that they are only luke warm in the matter, and are not disposed to spend much time nor money in the matter. Fewer candidates from both parties have not been seen in many years before, and it may be that office seeking is becoming unpopular and has lost its charms to many persons.

Laverty Estate Case Settled. The estate of Aquilla Laverty, the Parke county land king, who died possessed of nearly five thousand acres of land, much of it choice Wabash bottom, has been finally settled out of the courts. This matter has been hanging fire some time, and was consumated this week. It required about $60,000 to square up the indebtedness of the estate, each of the five heirs contributing $8,500 to the liquidation over and above what was realized from the sale of a large amount of persona) property. The children of Mr. Laverty receive above 500 acres each of land, while the widow gets 2,381 acres.

Binder Twine Goes Up. War has played havoc with binder twine. It seems that most of the raw material from which the twine is made comes from Manilla and since the war there has been no exporting from that point. Twine is now worth nine cents per pound and dealers say [it may go to twelve cents.

Shipping Mules.

Jas. Walters and Horace Law shipped several car loads of mules to St. Louis on Monday. The price of mules has advancec rapidly for two months past, and dealers are realizing good sums of money for them

Dr. Hard Has Qone.

Dr. Hard went to Chicago, Monday to make arrangements ',to enter the United States Hospital Service. He expects to be Bent South in a few days.

57TH YEAR.—NO 42.

HERE'S A GHANCE.

Twenty-Five Recruits Needed For

Each Company.

Two field officers from each of Indiana's four regiments of infantry in the service and one officer from each of the two batteries representing tho State will be detailed to come home and recruit the regiments and the batteries to the maximum authorized under the volunteer army law. The recruiting officers are to be detailed by the War Department, after having been designated by the Governor on recommendations forwarded the colonels of infantry regiments and captains of batteries. Unless there should be expected delay, the officers detailed to do the recruiting will be here some time this week.

The understanding is that the recruiting officers shall look to the cities and towns that have companies in service for the additional men needed to bring the present organizations up to the maximum.

The following cities and towns will be called upon for twenty-five men each in recruiting the 158th: Crawfordsville, Kokomo, Martinsville, Sheridan, Covington. Winchester, Franklin, Frankfort, Rochester, Indianapolis (seventy-five, on account of having three companies in the regiment.)—Indianapolis News!
