Ihe editor of an exchange drove nway dull care a half hour the other day in the production of the following pathetic tale: A humble boy with a shining pail went gaily singing down the dale, to wh^re the cow with a brindle tail on the clover did regale. A bumble bee did gaily sail over the sweet and shady vale to where the boy with a shining pail was milking the cow with a brindle tail. The bee lit down on the cow's left ear, and her heels flew through the atmosphere and thro' the leaveB of the chestnut tree the boy soared on to eternity.

Died.

At his country home in New Ross. Oct. 24, 1892, James Chambers, aged 41 years. In Aug. 1872, ho was married to Mary E. Sharpe, who survives him with their only son. The deceased was widely known and universally respected. He died of consumption and through long months of suffering he manifested the patience and forbearance characteristic of a child of God. He died as peacefully "as one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreaniB." He will long be missed and mourned for in the community in which he lived, but just how great the sorrow in that desolate home none but the pitying Father may know. What was once said of another broken home may fitly be said of this:

Gloom is on thy lonely hearth, O! silent house, once filled with mirth, Sorrow dwells in the breezy sound .Of ,tby tall poplars, whispering round. TW

After the Postoffice.

Candidates for the postoffice are already springing up thicker than hops, and it is safe to Bay that. Mr. Bonnell won't have much trouble in finding a successor. Among other candidates Mr. Mike McCarty, the accomplished "oil of joy" vender of north Green street is mentioned, but his chances are said to be slim. Will Henkle and Jere Keeney, jr., are Doth eager aspirants, and John Booe, Walter Hulett and a whole raft of others are known to be just on the point of expiring for that lovely job.

Arm Broken.

Tuesday noon Oakie Wheeler, the daughter of P. E. Wheeler, fell off a chair and fractured her arm at the elbow. The girl is getting along quite well to-day considering the serious nature of the hurt.

Conference in the Spring.

Tho Methodist bishops have decided that the Northwest Indiana Conference, which includes Crawfordsville, must hold its session in the spring. Accordingly the ministers will meet on April 12 at LaPorte with Bishop Merrill presiding. The spring meeting will result in several changes being effected, but there will probably be fewer removals of ministers at the next session than there have been for years. „,

LOCAL ELECTION NOTES.'

challengers

The voices of the hoarse before noon. The floater stood disconsolately on the corner all day and the wind blow through his whiskers.

The Democrats even had the nerve to challenge the vote of C. N. Willian.6, tho chairman of the Republican central committee. It was a huge joke.

Eli Jones, the groat Democratic politician, was made a deputy sheriff' at the Schenck tin shop precinct but becoming obnoxious was removed by Sheriff Bible. -lohn McLaughlin was feeling somewhat "salubrious" this morning and braced into the voting place calling out "Gim'me a Democratic ticket." He was at once lired out by the board anil was not permitted to vote.

A well known Democratic saloon keeper and ward heeler had a block of lifteen eorraled in the alley behind Moffett Morgan's drug store that morning and "soaped" the whole lot. This interesting ceremouv performed they scattered for the polls like scared sheep.

One of the features of the day was tho voting of the venerable Wm. Krug, aged 102 years. He came down to the voting place accompanied by Wm. Bromley, sr. Owing to his poor eye sight the inspector and judge accompanied him into the booth. "How do you desire to vote' was asked. '•I want to vote the straight Republican ticket," responded the veteran, and it went in that way. Mr. Krug began voting over 75 years ago and has always stuck to the principles of the Whig and Republican parties. He's all right.

The festivities opened that morniDg with the arrest of Harry Krug on a warrant sworn out by Jere Keeney, jr. Mr. Krug voted and was at once arrested, gave bond and made the 8:14 train -n the Vandalia to begin his work as po. 1 clerk. It was charged that Mr. jg is not a resident of this county but the arrest was merely an icy bluff. Mr. Krug has always claimed th as his residence although being a postal clerk he has been obliged to make his headquarters at St. Joe, Mich. As an evidence of being no resident of St. Joe he has always paid the school tuition of his sister-in-law who attends school there.

It is safe to Bay that a large and active portion of the community ate supper in a hurry Taesday night and chased off down town to "hear the news' which everyone knew would not begin to come in for several hours. The streets were lined by 7 o'clock and some of tho good people had evidently discovered an open back door some where or other, for quite a number were considerably more than "half shot." Small bove and burly men howled lustily for ther favorite candidates and the"old and elegant bit of spicy wit, "a rope to hang him," could be heard on every side. Occasionally a shout for a candidate caused some sage and doughty humorist to remark that "ho needs it.," and then to look around on the admiring crowd as though he had sprung some new jest that would redound to his credit through the rolling ages yet to come. All in all the crowd was good humored, although occasionally the nose of some shrieking enthusiast caine in contact with the clenched list of some equally zealous partisan of the opposition. All sortB of rumors began to come in quite early, but it was nearly 9 o'clock when the first reliable dispatches began to roll in.

The Democrats were receiving them at the Auditor's office through the Postal service and the Republicans at the Morton club room. The first dispatches were highly encouraging to the Democrats and. indeed, continued to be so all night and a howling mob of drunken roughs marched madly through the court house causing the good and peaceable Democrats to stay pretty close to the walls. Everybody was wild at the Auditor's office and tho howling and yelling continued all night long.

At the Morton club room there was not much of a demonstration at any time, but whenever there was any chance for it there was a good healthy howl went up which caused flagging and drooping spirits to brighten up materially. About 11 quite a number of Republicans went home feeling that if no encouraging news was to be had they could wait until morning to hear of the woe.

At 8 o'clock the offices ceased to receive dispatches and then the Democrats were claiming the solid South, New Jersey, New York, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. The Republicans were claiming Indiana, the county and a right to live. looking tolerably "juberous"

It was about that time Next morning everything looked blacker than ever and the hopes of winning the county slipped rapidly away until it was only a question of getting in two or three of the Republican ticket, The morning passed without any news from the outside results, but the Demo cratB were confident and happy and many of them drunk and dressed up, They paraded the streets whooping, tooting, and raising cain generally. In fact, gentle reader, it was a very solemn occasion for Republicans. •••iiS THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.

Hon. E. V. Brookshire stood in the office of tho Robbins House i/ext morn

ing bare headed but, happy. Yes. he was happy, as happy as a baked claui or an Baltimore oyster on half shell. "Oh! I'm all right said ory, and my majority will be from 1.500 up to infinity. I carry Sullivan county by 1.350, Clay by •100, igo by 2:0, and Montgomery by about 50. 1 don't know about the other counties as yet but, they can't bring my majority below 1.500 a. ,'how.

THE RLF0RM. SCHOOL.

Superintendent Charlton's Report Shows it in a Prosperous Condition. The annual report shows a prosperous condition of affairs. The board of control of the Reform School for Boys, at Plainfield, made their twenty-sixth annual report of that institution to Governor Chase yesterday, for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31. They report the largest number of boys in s?hool at any one time during the year to bo 520, and the average attendance to be '172 129 boys were admitted during the year and 2(50 boys released. Eighty boys were recalled to the school (luring tiio year, either because of improper surroundings or unsatisfactory conduct. The trustees report the main building, erected about a quarter of a century ago, to be unsafe for occupancy, and tliey recommend that it be torn down and rebuilt and enlarged. This building has been sinking for lifteen or twenty years, and they ask that the Legislature be requested to appropriate a sum sufficient to do the work. They report the discipline of the school to be first class, and the health of the boys for the year rather better than in previous years. They continue the same estimate of annual cost of keoping boy in the school to bo S120, which is a little over 32 cents a day. They favor a still further development of the trade schools and report the introduction of a preparatory department during tho past year. Tho annual appropriation for theBchool is 874,000, which includes all the cost of repairs etc., as well as the maintenance. As the several counties pay $60 a year for tho care of each boy from that county they report the net oost of tho school to the State

Treasury to be $11,501.21. They urge the purchase of more land, as the pres. ent, farm (225 acres), is not sullicient. Supt. T. J. Charlton, in his report, reviews minutely tho work of tho year. It is his thirteenth annual report. Since he became superintendent 2,300 boys have been admitted to the school, and nearly that number have become useful men. Some fell, but the great majority did well. But few deaths occurred during the year. Deducting those who are known to have died, there are 30,r boys out in the world who were educated and trained at the Reform school. The boys are all committed until they become twenty-one, but very few remain that long. The average time of detention at the school is two years and four months. Eighty-six of the boys now in the school are colored.

Outrage in .sugar Creek.

An election outrage is reported from Sugar Creek township which for littleness is unsurpassed. At precinct No. 2 John Corbin came walking in during the morning and asked for "a Democrat ticket." He was allowed to vote without demur. Later on Uncle Asa B°ots, over seventy years old, a man who has voted in this county for almost half a century and who pays more taxes every yoor tharf all the Democrats on the board, came tottering in and asked for "a Republican ticket." Trustee Armentrout and Jack Jordan, tho Democratic, judge at once challenged his vote. Mr. Boots explained that he did not understand the law on the question, as he had been sick two years ago and unable to go to the polls. In spite of his protestations, however, he was not allowed to vote. Mr. Boots had a better right to vote than half the Democrats in Montgomery county and as good a right as any man in the county, lo bar the vote of a feeble old pioneer on account of an excusable blunder was despicably small.

The Worthy Doctor Mourns. Dr. T. J. Griffith, the gallant Archilles of the Montgomery county Prohibitionists, is evidently both surprised and grieved at Bidwell's defeat. All the fall the genial face of the California wine making Prohibitionist has smiled from the doctor's front window on the weary passer by every lineament seeming to implore beseechingly and beseech imploringly "vote fur me." This morning every one going past the doctor's place noticed that the picture was deeply draped in mourning. The doctor evidently feels badly and had, perhaps, best visit Bidwell's winery and take a drop or two for his stomach's sake. ....

Private Opinion Made Public. Col. Edwards: "I have kept the faith ever since the battle of Pogue's Run and finally we have won."

Tho continual succession^ boils, pimples, and eruptions from which many suffer, indicates an impure state of blood, Tho most effective remedy is Ayer'sJSarsaparilla. It expels the poiseu harmlessly through the natural channels, and leaves the 9kin clean

OH HARRY TEMPLE!

Things People

What are all These Bad Are Sayiue About You? Harrv Temple, the scenic artist, has gone, and if all the things which people are saving are true, the dear boy Lias boon entirely too frisky.

Last July he took Toonis at the j)lace of Mrs. Howard Wilcox, near the First Presbyterian church, and boarded at the hotel. Along in August Harry, who had been posing as an eligible single young man, announced to Mrs. Wilcox that lie wanted to secure hoard and room for his wife. Mrs. Wilcox wa3 much surprised to find that he had a wife, but, after considerable persuasion, gave in and allowed the lady to come. Ihings ran on then until October, when Temple left the city. His wife stated that he was in St. Louis but her letters wore all brought to her by persons residing in the city and had 'evidently been sent to them enclosed iu other envelopes. Mrs. Temple was very hard up and had not a cent of money in sight to pay her board or anything else. On Columbus Day her babe was born, and she was quite sick for a week. On Monday of this week she stated that she expected Temple to return and in the afternoon gave her baby a heavy sleeping draught and requested Mrs. Wilcox to keep it for her while she went to see lu-r friend Maggio (luinon, and borrow half a dollar. She returned about 7 clock and stated that as she returned Miss Blank, (a well known young woman of this city,) had rushed UD to her and asked if she were Mrs. Temple. She was told that such was the case. Upon hearing that the girl broke down and declared that she had been keeping company with Mr. Temple, never dreaming that ho was a married man. Mrs. Temple who knew her retorted that she was falsifying, as she had written letters to Temple in which the fact of his being married was mentioned. The girl promised to come to Miss Temple's room that evening and talk tho matter over, but she failed to appear. Maggie Guinon and Harry Kramer spent the evening there, and when Mrs. Wilcox went in tho next morning to Mrs. Temple's room that lady was gone, together with her baby and all her belongings. There was a bill of over S:H) duo Mrs. Wilcox and nothing left to liquidate it. Tuesday a young man residing here brought her a note in a man's writing but signed by Mrs.

Temple, stating that she wanted no newspaper notoriety. She acknowledged that she had acted queerly but she wanted it kept on the quiet.

Mrs. Temple, if she really is Mrs. Temple, was onco a dining room girl at the Robbins House and was named Mamie McCabo. She stated on several occasions to Mrs. Wilcox that she was tired of life and had a great mind to take something to assist her in shuffling off this mortal coil. Temple is Baid to have treated her shamefully in deserting her without money during her confinement, and some harsh things aro being said at his expense.

The Advertising

Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is always within tho bounds of reasoH because it is true it always appeals to the sober, common sense of thinking peoplo because it is true and it is always fully substantiated by endorsements which, in the financial world would be accepted without a moment's hesitation.

For a general family cathartic we confidently recommend Hood's Pills.

No flowery rhetoric can tell the merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla as well as the cures accomplished by this excellent medicine.
