The happy event will occur in mild September. —A. H. Hernley has been appointed guardian for two of his children, minors, who have inherited some property from the estate of their grandmother, Mrs. Cynthia A. Harvey. —The boilers at the city electric light plant have been repainted, and now the entire works shine like a new silver dollar—if any person can remember just the appearance of a silver dollar. —There is considerable commotion in Lafayette over the prospect of the price of natural gas being raised. Public meetings are being held to devise means to keep the fuel at the old price. —E!e Wilhite has built a camping cabin on his new farm on the Rattle snake Creek. To-morrow Ed and Stan Wilhite, Harrie Hanlev and the Misses Wilhite will go down for an outing. —Frank B.

There have been 243 new school houses built during the past year, valued at $513,576.77. —The laborers upon the city stone pile are plenty and more crushed rock will soon be ready for our streets. Let the rock breaking proceed rapidly, as our streets can bear several loads of stone. —M. E.

WHS

hitched to it and it was pulled out. The horses were badly burned but the thresher was Baved. —The storm Friday night was much worse south of town than here. On the farm of Braxton Cash a large tree was struck by lightning and several horses badly injured or killed. One of

thoEe

killed waB a valuable young horse belonging to Henry Kohl of this city. —Last Sunday at the home of the bride's parents on east Market street Edward Toney and Cordie F.

Quite a party of re atives and intimate friends were present and a sumptuous wedding collation was served. —A young fellow from Lebanon who i3 camping at the Shades fell from the "Lover's Leap," the high point near the "Lower Fall," on Wednesday. The distance is probably 150 feet, and, strange to relate, he slid and rolled the entire distance, and sustained no serious injuries.— Wavcland Independent. —Representative Brookshire is at the capital to remain until Congress meets. He is the only Indiana Congressman in town now. Mrs. Brookshire is at the Battle Creek, Mich., sanitarium, but is improving in health so that it is believed she will be able to come to the capital in about a month.—Washington Correspondent Indianapolis News. —Joshua Jump will be the Collector of Revenue, and Senator Voorhees is er titled to all the credit. Brookshire has

been ignored, he stands as a mere figurehead, and his choice, Mr. Hulett, of Crawfordsville, an excellent man, is compelled to throw up the Bponge. Brookshire has been slaughtered in the house of his friends.—Spence"s Peopled Paper. —Jesse Booe will have served his term in the Crawfordsville jail to-day, and as he steps out be will be received by Sheriff Moore of this county, who will escort him to our county jail to answer the charge of stealing Pres Cooper'e meat at Hillsboro. The way of the transgressor is rather rocky, and JesBe is receiving his Bhare.—Veedersburgh News. —State Superintendent Vories is receiving many letters inquiring if the Supreme court has ruled that patrons of the public schools can employ the teachers. The [superintendent says that the court has passed upon the question but the decision has been misunderstood. It is held that patrons, by a majority vote, say who the trustees shall not appoint, but they cannot say who he can employ. —It has been announced that Rev. A. B. Cunningham, pastor of the Christian ohurch in Washington, Davies county, will likely be oalled to the charge in this city. Rev. Cunningham is well known to the proprietors of the Times office who will be pleased if he should receive charge of thie congregation, and we oan assure the members here that to select him would add much to the church. In the past the Rev. gentleman was noted for his hustling qualifications and we have no reason to believe he has lost them.—Brazil Times. —Thomas A. Florer next Wednesday relinquishes the county treasurership, and the Times would fain print much in praise of the retiring incumbent of this responsible office. But it is little of news to the people of the county in saying that he has most admirably and efficiently administered as county treasurer, for as a competent offioial and estimable gentleman Mr. Florer is known in every household in the city and surrounding country. His best encomium is his daily doings and every aot of his useful existence.—Lafayette Times. —The programme for the Battle Ground camp meeting has been published, and I am glad to note that there are to be no Jim Crow performances this year. I am led to believe that the good old Methodist brothers and sisters have had quite enough of such nonsense and called a halt. It is well. Good old fashioned Methodism needs no side shows. The camp meeting is a Methodist institution, and in the early days of the church accomplished a great work in converting souls to God. It still has its place in the church in calling sinners to repentance. It does more—it gives the brethren and sisters an opportunity to renew their spiritual strength—to put on the armor anew to fight the world, the flesh and the devil.—Lafayette Times.

McPherson Post Meeting.

The regular meeting of McPherson Post, G. A. R., will be held on Saturday evening, Aug., 5 at Post headquarters. Committees on music, hall, etc., tor the National Encampment will report and all sister posts of the county that wish to attend the encampment as a county organization have been invited to meet with us for counsel and final arrangements. We wish that every comrade would make a special effort to be present on that evening. The encampment to be held the 5th and 6th of September next will be the last opportunity many of as will have again of taking by the hand the dear old comrades we parted from twenty-eight years ago. So come out comrades and assist in making the arrangements for that occasion. By order of Commander.

Oon Still Waiting.

C. Cunningham, of Crawfordsville, who is the earliest officeseeker of the extra session, arrived to-day. He would like a consulship to Ireland.—Washing ton Correspondence Indianapolis Journal.

Cornelius seems to have his nerve with him. He received such material discouragement on his last visit that one would suppose that he would forever forswear office seeking. Con is not destined to become famous as a consul.

The Wheat Market.

The wheat market has gone to the doge, or to adopt the phraseology of the market, to the bears. It is still dropping and the bottom is not reached yet. September wheat at 59 cents is lower than it has been for fifty years. The buyers are greatly discouraged and many of them have quit buying altogether. There is very little grain brought in, however, for those to handle who are still purchasing. The wheat outlook is anything but pleasant.

Wheel Works to Eesume.

The Indianapolis papers on Tuesday stated that there is a strong probability of the factories of the American Wheel Company resuming operations with a cut of ten per cent, in wages. The mat ter now under consideration. If the factories resume, the epoke factory here will reopen and give employment to some of those who need it badly.

The best of all ways

To lengthen our days,

lis to use Pierce's Purgative Pellets, Sir! For nine-tenths of the diseases of the body begin with constipation or the clogging up of the sluiceways, through which the impuritios of the blood escape, so that thev are re-absorbed into the system. The Purgative Pellets act gently but thoroughly upon the stomach and liver, and are the best laxative known. Without racking and straining the organs, they open up the bowels and restere a natural, healthy digestion. Unequaled in dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness or piies, or £jy of the resulting diseases.

THE STATE TAX (J0MMI881018 The State Board of Tax fieyiew to Meet Aueust 7, for Forty Days' Labor.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners will meet August 7 and will continue in session for forty days. The first fifteen days will be taken up by the railroad, telegraph, telephone, express and sleeping car companies. The second fifteen days will be devoted to appeals taken from county boards of review, and the last ten the board will consider the modification of assessments of the oompanies made during the first fifteen days. The companies desiring a modification must file petitions twelve days before the board adjourns. Appeals to the State board from county boards must be taken within five days succeeding the adjournment of the county board and in no event later than August 5.

A Ohicken Story.

Grandmother Speed, who lives on the corner of Grant avenue and North street, has a spring chicken which is developed even to the maturity of the restaurant spring chicken. It is some yeare young er to be sure, but has all the intellectual and material attributes of the other. Quite early one of Mrs. Speed's old hens was set and in the fullness of time came proudly forth with one chicken as the result of the labor. Somewhat disgusted with the result the old biddy went to laying again in a short time and soon after to setting. Her one chick sat with her on the eggs and when the second brood of six fluffy little chicks came forth from the shell, it shared their joys and sorrows and cornmeal with red pepper in it. A short time elapsed and again the old hen went to laying and is now setting for the third time this season. Her chickens are not now with her, however. The first bom has the sole care and custody of the other six and walks about clucking as though ten years old and scratching for worms with indefatigable zeal. It is hardly larger than a quail yet makeB a gallant effort to hover its six younger brothers and sisters dependent upon it for support. It is a striking case of filial affection and is attracting great attention in the neighborhood.

HAYSTACK PLATFORM.

Almost Indispensable for Proper Topping of a Stack. When hay 6r fodder is stacked out of doors the pitching up of the last two loads is attended with extremely heavy straining work by the man on the load. From this cause stacks are too often topped out and called finished before they are high enough to properly shed rain. The accompanying engraving from a sketch by L. D. Snook shows a temporary platform which will aid in overcoming these difficulties. When the stack has reached the height to which a man can conveniently pitch from the bottom of the load, two smooth poles are laid parallel crosswise across the top of stack, one end left

projecting about three and a half feet. Half a load of hay is thrown upon the inner end of rails, and a few boards nailed on the projecting ends. To give greater strength props from the ground are nailed to the outer edge. The hay is then pitched upon the platform, and thence to the stack. When finished the boards are removed, and the poles either left in position or pulled out of stack. —American Agriculturist.

BLOATING IN CATTLE.

Some Simple Means of Alleviating the Dangerous Ailment. When detected in the beginning, give every half hour half an ounce of aqua ammonia in a quart of cold water. When bloating has lasted over twelve hours, a different kind of gas is generated, and different remedies must be used, such as two drachms of chlorinated lime dissolved in a pint of cold water and repeated every hour. After a severe attack of bloating, always give a laxative dose of medicine, such as a pound and a half of Epsom salts dissolved in a quart of hot water, and to which solution add a pint of molasses and an ounce of ground ginger.

In urgent cases when medicine cannot soon be had, plunge a trocar into the left flank inward, downward and forward, in the direction of the right elbow, inserting it midway between the last rib and the hipbone, and about eight inches from the bones of the loin. When away out in the lield and no trocar is obtainabble. a long-bladed penknife may be used, putting it in to the handle, and holding it in this position so long as gas escapes. But the knife is not a safe instrument as particles of food are apt to pass into the abdominal cavity, where it may cause fatal inflammation.—Prairie Farmer.

A Farm for Rent.

A farm or 270 acres in Jackson township, Boone county, Indiana one mile east of New Ross on the Crawfordsville & Indianapolis State road. Of this farm 200 acres are plow land, and 70 acres blue grass pasture, with everlasting stock water, a two story frame nousc of seven room«, a good apple orchard, good outbuildings, a barn 50 feet square. 2d-81 TIMOTHY LANE,

Finch Bros, now employ twelve teams hauling logs to their saw mill, and the cry has been for ten years, timber all goae and the country ruined.

We are now laboring under a Democratic administration. The dogs commenced killing sheep for Dan Lewis last week, but soon found out that they were worthless as to price and left in disgust.

Now farmers when did you ever get a dollar per bushel for wheat under a Democratic administration, or when did you ever have to take 40 cents per bushel under a Republican administration?

The big log team of Frank Condon left the saw mill last Saturday without leave and came up Main street at a lively rate, everyone giving them the street until they met Seebery Hunt, who jumped in, caught and stopped them without damage.

Arthur Haycock's new house is now ready for the plasterere, Wm. Butcher's well under way, John Peterson commences this week, F. P. Trotter's is ready to move into, and A. R. Peterson is about ready to commence.'

L. M. Dunbar, J. A. Bowers and Joe Corns have bought five acres of land of John Hulet inside the corporation. Consideration $1,500. They will immediately plat the same, each build a residence thereon and thtow the remainder on the market. Now with this addition and the few lots remaining unBold in the Caves and Stokes additions a few more can be suited with good building sites.

There was a party at W. W. Whittington's Monday night in the way of a surprise on Miss Maud Whittington.
