Chairman Horris Resigns.
Willard 11. Morris has tendered his resignation as chairman of the Ninth district. Speaking ot the matter the Frankfort Crescent says: "Willard II. Morris, of this city, has tendered his resignation to state chairman Parks M. Martin as a member os the State committee from the ninth district. He asks an immediate acceptance of his resignation, which was forwarded to Mr. Martin by mail Thursday. Mr. Morris states that he could not give the position the active attention and time it demands, and for the benefit ot the party thought it best to resign. His relations with Chairman Parks Martin and other members of the committee were always cordial." Mr. Morris' successor has not as yet been selected but it is thought it will be W. H. Johnston of this city.
Going to Washington.
Jim Brant and wife and Albert Snyder and family, of Waynetown, are making arrangements to move to Seattle, Wash., where they intend to make thoir home. Mr. Brant has resided in Waynetown almost all his life and we were somewhat surprised when he informed us he was goiug to leave the old town he always loved so well and embark for the west. Se.eral families have recently gone to Seattle from Waynetown and are said to be doing well, and several other families will go in the spring. It begins to look as if
Waynetown would be pretty well represented in Washington.—Hlllsboro Times.
Sale of the Robbins House.
The former well known hotel building, the Rotebins Mouse, on east Main
on east
street, changed ownership last week, in is os in of it to J. N. Fullenwider, of Brown township, the consideration being 814,000. Ten years ago Myers & Charni ottered 820,000 but for some reason the trade was not consummated. For three years past it has not been used for hotel purposes. Considering the general busi ness depression and decline in real estate for some years past the price paid for the Robbins is considered reasona ble. Mrs. Robbins will remove to Danville, 111.
The Monon has abandoned its pumping station at Rensselaer, owing to the contract for city water.
Some October Weather.
oncoming (lie probable quality of the weather of the month on which we enter to-day, Hicks, the weather prophet, says:
I'he opening da\s of the month will bring more or less reaction from the high barometer and change to cooler winch 1 olio wed the closing storms in September. Renewed [storminess in ninny sections is probable about the 2nd and 3rd. A short sharp change to high baromoter and much cooler is apt to spread eastward from about 3rd to 5th. During the Vulcan period, 5th to 9th, look for a change to much warmer, first westward with a daily progress eastward, followed by a falling barometer, ending in many autumnal showers about the 6th, 7th and 8th. Another change to nigh pressure, westerly winds and much cooler will travel eastward immediately behind these storms. Cool days, and frost at night in the north are probable ab ut fcth to 10th. "The reactionary period, 11th to 13th, is within the braces of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, and marked storm conditions will appear during this period in all western parts. The low barometer starting at this time will probably not disappear until after the new moon on the loth, and unsettled, threatening weather will probably continue into the regular Vulcan period extending from the 16 to the 20th. From about Monday the 17th to Thursday the 20th, we would admonish our readers of heavy storms and probable danger, especially on the Jakes and north Atlantic.!-1- .:
Nickum, the Mm.
Most readers will rememb t!in allied disco v«rv of a perpetual li. -ht by a Logansport man last year. Nickum is the name. He aimed, it would seem, to throw an air of mystery about all his movements, and worked at bringing out all the fine points of his purported invention behind closed doors. And he is still working Prospective rights to use the invention, it was said, were sold to scores of purchasers in all parts of tho country, but if any of them ever re lized any interest on* the money thus invested no one ever heard of it. "By the wav,'' says the Logansport Orironicle, "how is Nickum and his perpetual light? Has the crop of suckers decreased? October will soon roll around aud old Nick had bettor make hay while the sun shines. Uncle .Samuel will havo his turn at the bat next month aud us the old fellow has been playing great ball lately—several home runs at Santiago and Manila—look out for at least a three hit on Nickum's pants whan he reaches the rubber plate to take a swipe."
Must Respect "Old Glory." The W. R. C. and other patriotic societies have organized a crusade against the desecration of the national colors. A circular just issued from the nation headquarters contains the following paragraph: "Your corps will do everything at its command to discourage the vulgar oflice to which the flag is too often assigned.' The Star Spangled Banner is heaven-born and the air is its element, and he who uses it as a rug on which to walk, or a cushion on which to recline, or a napkin on which to cleanse his soiled fingers, is guilty ot desecrating his country's banner and dishonors his own Americanhood. The so-called medleys of national hymns should be discountenced by the Woman's Relief
Corps. He who adds to or takes away from 'The Star Spangled Banner," 'America," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "A Thousand Years My Own Columbia," "Rally 'Roundjlthe Flag,"" and "Marching Through Georgia,"' com mits sacrilege and should be rebuked.'
The Township Convention.
The democrats of Union township met at the small court room, last Saturday morning, and nominated the following township ticket:
For Justice Wallace. For Constable—George Vancleave.
of the Peace--W. K.
While there are four justices and three constables to elect, the democrats nominated but one of each in the hopes of being more able to fleet two than seven. As the republican majority is between 500 and GOO in the township, it is almost impossible for the democrats to elect a full ticket, while they are reasonably sure to elect the two gentlemen nominated.
A Brofit There.
At the St. Louis stock sale Sept. 13th, Goo. Watson paid 84,200 for a span of horses. Watson is well known here, being here perhaps four or five months of the year purchasing and shipping horses. He purchased a few years ago
the
mare "Zulu Girl" bred and owned by Elijah Clore, of this city, paying $475 for her He soon after shipped the animal to Scotland,'.receiving $1,000
for her.
John W. McCardle ftwas down from New Richmond last Saturday.
HOOD NELSON.
Mt
£Ie is Loud in Praise of the Marion
Soldier's Home.
The familiar face of IIooil Nelson, who has been absent from Crawfotdeville for six months is seen on our streets this week. Some six months since, 1 roken down with the infirmities of advancing years, Hood took up his residence at tho soldier's home at Marion, Grant county, where he has since remained and is liable to continue the rest of his days. He ie loud in his praise of the management of the home for soldiers at Marion. Speaking of it he said: "Itp is not only a home it is a palace. Better beds to Bleep upon 1 never knew, and more wholesome, clean and well cooked foott cannot be seen anywhere. Tho rules and regulations governing the home could not be improved upon,' Hood -returns to Marion on Monday.

Seeking to Force a Contract.
Through attorneys, Howard Dewey and George Deal have entered suit agai1 st Lee Long for failure to stand by a contract which they allege Long has violated by no, turning over his feed yard and appurtances on east Market street to them this week after they had bargained for itn possession. After the trade had been closed thev assert Long disposed ol! it to CharleB Long, the turnkey at the jail, who they think paid some more for the property than they had agreed to.
His Buggy Wrecked.
oh n. Han ley, manager of the Yountsville woolen mills, had an exciting experience last Saturday morning. While going to his work and near the Guukle fence factory, one of the front wheels of his buggy came off, throwing him heavily to the ground, but fortunately notseriously injuring him. The lurch of the buggy frightened tho horse which ran away, almost completely demolishing the vehiclc before it was stopped.
Waveland Independent Items. E. L. Prather presented himself for membership in the Christian church last Sunday evening, but the church declined to receive him—something unprecedented here.
Rev. J. J. Claypool bought one of Gov. Durham's 80,000 pacing mares bofore he lelt here, and will throw dust in the eyes of everything about Romney.
The Bischof Building.
Work on tho Bischof building has progressed very satisfactorily during the past few days, the brick work being nearly finished and the large iron supports being placed in position of the first floor. A large force of men will be kept continually at work during the three rema iningmonths of the year.

Last Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock an informal reception was tendered to Dr. Wallacs Tharpe and wife by the members ot the Cristian church at the beautiful home ot Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Barnhill, on 6oath Washington street. The affair was a moBt enjoyable one and largely attended.
Charley Boger has been granted ai divorce from his wife, Grace Boger.
LEON C. BAILY
Addresses the Local Democracy at
the Court House Last Saturday.
Much regret was heard on every hand Saturday when Chairman Vancleave announced the inability of Capt W. R. Myers to be present and address the democracy of Montgomery county as advertised. Mr. Myers' physical condition is such that it will preveut him from taking any active part in the present campaign much to the disappointment of his admirers over the State. The committee in charge, however, furnished a most able substitute in the person of the Hon. Leon O. Baily, the present democratic nominee for Congress in the seventh district. Mr. Baily was introduced by the Hon, John McCardle, of New Richmond, and for more than two hours the large audience gave him the closest attention. He treated every issue of the present campaign in an open, fearless manner, and the speech was frequently punctured with applause. It was indeed a most auspicious opening of a most promising campaign,
