A Popular Nomination.

Terre Haute Express:—The nomination of Mr. Mount is proving to be one of the most popular selections ever made by a political party, [t is being recognized that in him are combined the vining qualities.

Misfortune Overtakes William Watts. Wm. Watts, the one armed drayman, has had a pretty hard row to hoe for many years. His horses have died, hia barns have been burned and finally his misfortunes have gotten the better of him. He is now an inmate of the County Asylum.

Came to Time.

Monday. Treasurer A. F. Ramsey received a certified check for §2,000 from Henry Crawford as payment for current and delinquent taxes due on the Midland railway. The Midland is pushing its connection with the Vandalia. The junction js to be made south of Waveland.

Sale of the Bottling Works. Negotiations which have been pending for some time were consummated today by which Bandel & Peters, proprietors of the Bottling Works, dispose of of the establishment. The purchaser is John Snyder who is well known in the oity as a grocery clerk and proprietor of a bakery. The price paid was §3,500.

A Trial of an Alarm System. Web C. Landl-C, of Richmond, Ind., is the western agent for the Gamewell Electric Alarm Company, of New York. He was here not long ago and said he would put in a few alarm boxes at his own expenses just for a trial so the people could see what thev were. The material has arrived at the U. S. Express office and only awaits the arrival of Mr. Mandlee to put it in working order. It seems as if we would soon have an alarm system. The people want it and the Council should vote for it—that is the right one.

Prom Joplin.

Mat Doherty has returned from Joplin. He reports that Miller, Biscliofif & Co. have sold the lease of their lead lands and that Mr. Miller will return to this city.

The death of his brother made it necessary for him to change his plans, liencj the sale. Mat reports that the Snyder boys have been offered §300,000 for the land and leases ou which they are operating. Their asking price is a half a million.

Ben Hur at Ohautaruque.

A correspondent of the New York Mail and Express writes from Chautauqua concerning the Ben Hur Tableaux given under the Tnanagement of D. W. Cox & Co.: "All day long the carpenters and managers of the Chautauqua Dramatic Company, Limited, were busy preparing a mammoth stage in the pit of the amphitheater, with all the paraphernalia of the modern theater, for the three entertainments to be given by a company of -42 persons taken from local talent. The interest that the "Ben Hur" tableaux have aroused is almost unprecedented. The hour for the entertainment was set at 8 o'clock, but at 4:30 people began to gather in the amphitheater in order to obtain good seats. Many people took their supper with them and by o'clock there was not a seat to be found in the house, and by 7 o'clock even standing room was at a premium, and soon a deep throng of expectant people pressed from the outside eager to catch a glimpse of the wide curtained stage which has been erected over the platform, extending back into the choir loft above. The chariot race was the most popular scene, and the third night as the audience gazed upon it for the tenth time, the enthusiasm seemed not to be diminished, the excitement no less intense than at first. The scene seemed so real, the course, the writhing whip, steeds, spectators and charioteers, the fall of the haughty Messola, and the triumph of the noble Jew, that all must yield to the magic spel',"

Blood Poison

Is very liable to follow contact of the hands or face with what is known as poison ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is prespiring freely. The (rouble may subside for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when opportunity offers. The great purifying powers of Hood's Sarsaparllla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it has accomplished conclusively show. It also cures salt rheum, scrofula and all other affections arising from impure or poisoned blood.

NATURAL GAS.

Can Run the Monon Without Accidents. The New Albany Ledger Bays: "Superinteadent John Ewan, of the Southern division of the Monon, is calling to his assistance old and experienced men, and is restoring and promoting several of the former employes displaced by his predecessor, J. C. Loomis. Emerson Castle goes back as train dispatcher at Bloomington, and tram mas tor Arbogast is succeeded by Mr, Howard. There has been no aocident on the road since Mr. Ewan's appointment. He called a number of engineers together at Bloomington and said to them: "Gentlemen we can run the Monon without accidents, can't we?" "Yea, we can," the men replied. "We'll do it, won't we?" asked Mr. Ewan. "Well you bet your life we will," was the ply. "Then let's commence at once, said Mr. Ewan, and each engineer and fireman present took him by the hand and pledged his best efforts to assist the new superintendent. Mr. Ewan will not be long in making the personal aa quaintance of all the employes in his -livision, and ho will soon have the Monon running like clock work and in safety."

Two Scholarships forTurdue. J. N. Davidson, President of the Farmers' Council, authorizes rlnEJouh kal to say: The trustees of Purdue University deem it desirable to bring the farmers of the State into a closer re lationship with the university and to increase the number of students who come from the rural districts and who expect to return to the farm. The following proposition is therefore made to the Farmers' Council of this county For the ear, commencing Sept. 10, two scholarship that relieve the holders from all matriculation incidental and laboratory A the university aro placed at the disposal of the Council good for those only who take the regular agricultural course. They are outside the regular county appointments, and while they are not provided for dormitory privileges they i#e equal to them in value. The candidates' are to be chosen by ballot of Council, 28th of August, on fair ground.

Election Expenses.

Some idea of the exjjense made necessary by the new election law may be gained by what Terre Haute and Vigo county expect to pay. The Terre Haute News says: The council met last night and appointed a oommittee to meet the county commissioners to-day and pledge the city to pay ono-half the expenses of election booths for this city. This was done L'ke contract was awarded to John Hanloy fbr his single, iron framed booth. The ballot boxes and other paraphernalia will bo purchased from Folckemer & Bro., of LaFayette. The entire expense of the outfit for each precinct is §17.90. It will cost the city §340.10 for the thirtyeight precincts. The county will be at an expense of §877.10 for all its booths, etc., the total expense for the Bixtyeight booths being §1.217,20.

Sam Henry in Luck.

Henry has received notice that he had passed the civil service examination and that ho had been appointed a railway postal clerk with a run of fifty miles on the Midland from Anderson to Ladoga. He goes on six months probation. If at the end of that time he passes tho examination his appointment will bo made permanent. This is a good appointment and Sam is to be congratulated.

With

Somu Ideas Gathered From Ghats the Company's Oiiicers. Logansport Journal:—The Logansport Natural Gas Company in the year past have drilled fifteen wells for the Logansport supply. Two of these wells were failures, but the other thirteen flow with a good pressure. The cost to the company of each well drilled, casec and connected is about §2,000, so it wil be seen that there is considerable expense connected with keeping up a supply. The wells are generally drilled not less than a miie apart, though satisfactory results are obtained from wells a half mile a part. There is generally an agreement with adjacent territory owners that neither shall drill nearer than a quarter of a mile to the border of the territory. Logansport has the best and safest plant of any oity in the United States, and the cheapest rates of any pipe line oity.

OF THE PE0-

Last Meeting—The Indications Favoracle.

Are

The meeting at tho court house Saturday evening to consider the question of piping natural gas to Crawfordsville was fairly attended, though it was not so large as it should have been. C. M. Crawford presided. A. F. Ramsey made a statement of the proposition of the New York oapitalists so far as ha understood it, but there being somo points omitted in Mr. Hatch's letters he was unable to explain fully the proposition. As explained by Mr. Ramsey the People's Natural Gas Company organization is continued as at present constituted. The local direotors of that company are A. F. Ramsay, W. P. Herron, and M. D. Manson. Tho capital stook is §350.000, divided into shares of §25 each. Each subscriber of a share of stock will be entitled not only to a bond equal to the amount subscribed, but to a certificate of stook for the samo amount. Interest on the bonds is guaranteed at the rate of six per cent. This is first provided for. Dividends on tho stook will be made on the proceeds after deducting the interest and running expenses. This places every subscriber of stock on the ground floor, the

Binall subscriber equal with the largo and making it impossible for the small stockholders to be frozen out.

That it is a paying investment for capital there can be no question. The fact that there is no stook for sale at any of the oities where a pipe line has been constructed, exoept at enormous premium, is tho best evidenoo that tlio investment will pay huudsome returns. A gentleman of Lafayette' who was a visitor in tho oity Sunday said that Crawfordsville would bo very short sighted not to accept such a favorable proposition. There are thoso, however, who say that the piping of gas to tho city would bo an injury rather than a benefit. There might bo some force in these objections if it could be shown that such enterprises had worked injuriously to such towns as Frankfort, Lafayette, Logansport, Peru, Wabash, Shelbyville, Rushville, Connersvillo or Richmond, The universal verdiot is that all these towns have been greatly benefitted and that none of them could be induced to return to wood and coal. What is true of *11 these towns will be true of Crawfordsville.

The terra gas meeting at court house Aug. 12 was fairly well attended. B. R.Russell was called to theehuir. A. F. Ramsey restated tho proposition for tho benefit of those who were not presont at previous meetings and which has been printed in these oolumns. W. J. Craig made a brief statement of tho efforts that had been put forth by himself, Mr. Hatch and Mr. Ramsey to induce capital to take hold of the enterprise, passing review the several failures that had been mot with. A. W. Hatch, who was also presont, presented the proposition made by New York captialists. He said that it was now for Urawfordsvillo to deoido whether she wanted gas bad enough to baok up their desire with §100,000 of stock. Remarks favorable were made by C. M. Crawford, Cupt. W. P. Herron, Prof. Jacob Norris and others. Alter an exchange of views John Bischop moved that a committee of five bo appointed to formulate a plan for tho subscription of stock. The chair appointed T. H. B. McCain, J. R. Bonnell and Jerro West as a nominating committee. This committee reported the names of A. F. Ramsey, C. M. Crawford, O. M. Gregg, W. C. Carr and W. E. Nicholson. It was suggested that a week's time should bo given tho committee in which to ascertain the sentiment of the people and their willingness to subscribe the necessary stock to insure the success of the undertaking. Tho soliciting committee will at once lay out their plan of work and make a canvass of tho city. It is an enterprise in wluoh every property holder is interested and there should bo no nesitancy on tho part of any to subscribe to tho extent of his ability. For every Bhare subscribed and paid in tho subscriber will receive both a bond and a certificate of stock. Interest on the bonds ot 7 per cent is guaranteed. The surplus revenues will be applied in payment of the bonds. After tho bonded indebtedness is paid the stook will be free of encumbrance. No fairer proposition could bo made, and the entire amount should bo subscribed without delay.
