John L,. (iobon Trys to Make a Deal With the ropulUts at Iniliaiia|»liH.

Of what political stripe is John L. Goben, anyhow? It is a well known fact that he is a Democratic office holder in this county and a candidate for Auditor of State before the approaching Democratic State convention. In spite of all this Mr. Goben went to "Indianapolis the other day with a coterie of Democratic and Populist friends from this county and going into the Populist State convention tried to secure the nomination for two State offices. The Indianapolis Journal in its account of the proceeding's of the convention savs:

A little more enthusiasm was displayed when nominations for Auditor of State were called for. On the call of the roll the Fifth district nominated J. K. Matthews, of Johnson county Edward A. Perkins was named by the Seventh district and John L. Goben by the Eighth district. Mr. Matthews stated positively that he could not make the race and asked that his name be not considered. The vote was then taken which resulted in ove'- 2,500 out of the 2,952 votes of the convention being cast for Perkins. A Montgomery county man moved that the nomination of Perkins be made unanimous and the result of the ballot was not announced.

The remote prospect of handling the State's cash brought out more candidates when nominations for Treasurer of State were called. The Third district announced the name of M. II. Motsinger, of Shoals. John L. Goben failed to get the nomination for Auditor of State and was willing to accept a lesser office, *so was named by the Seventh district and A. B. Keeport, of Logansport, was named by the Eighth district.

A delegate from the twelfth district tried to throw the vote of the convention irom John L. Goben by charging him with not being true to the Populist party. He said Goben is not a Populist, but a Democrat, and that his name was only placed before the convention that he might betray it later on by a trade with the leaders of Democracy. The charge fell like a bomb in the Montgomery county ranks, and in an instant about a half dozen bewhiskered individuals were on their feet howling for recognition of the chair. A Montgomery county man denounced the charge of disloyalty as an "infamous outrage sprung upon this convention in vague terms, so that Mr. Goben's friends have nothing tangible to refute."

The heinous crime of being a banker was whispered around among the delegates against Mr. Keeport. A storm began to brew when it came to the ears of his friends that Mr. Keeport was being so vilely slandered by his enemies by such a debasing charge as being the owner of a few dollars. It would never do for the vote to be taken without it being shown that Mr. Keeport was not a banker. Friends stated that Mr. Keeport was the owner of a feed store and a lime klin, but has never been a banker. Accusations then became general. Not a candidate escaped the stinging tongue's of delegates who were more vigorous than parliamentary. The ballot was then taken and resulted as follows: Keeport, 1.440}^ Motsinger, 81)7: Goben, 4!i(5£ total 2.842 If all the votes had been cast 1,447 would have been necessary to a choice, and the chair decided there was no nomination. Goben then withdrew and moved to make the nomination of Keeport unanimous. The motion was seconded by Motsinger and carried.

Why Not Huild That New Station, Then'.'

Samuel Thomas, president of the Louisville, New 'Albany & Chicago, who lias just completed an inspection of the property, telegraphs east as follows: "I have completed an inspection of the Monon. I am delighted to find the property in such excellent condition. We shall have no extraordinary expenditures to make this year. Our stone traffic exceeds that of the corresponding month last year, the country looks -in excellent condition, and agricultural interests were never more advanced and promising, and our local business begins to show signs of improvement."

1'erking-IIandlln.

The following from the Lebanon Reporter concerns a young lady well known here, she having frequently been the guest of Miss Mayme Spillman: "Last night at the bride's home in Thorntown Oliver P. Perkins of Lebanon and Miss May Handlin were married by Rev. Campbell of the Methodist church. But a few relatives and friends were present. They are now at home on West Washington street.'

A STEP WAR-WARD.

Or. TurkerV (iiiiifl uro Not Siloncod by th« CliiiIluiiKo—Notott From the Horiihl.

Dr. Tucker's paper last week was as bree/y as usual and lie goes after the gentiles with the following notes:

There is no command in the Hible to be ''immersed." The Greek word translated into English "baptize" means to springle or to pour.

Baptism does not save the sinner, hence what is the use of laying so much stress on it.

Probationers' meeting on Monday evening at 7: i0. All adult persons should be present.

A relic of the past ages is a man who spends his time finding fault with Christian churches of which he is not a member.

Some people were greatly surprised when they learned through the Herald that it could not be proven that Christ was immersed.

Next Sunday evening the pastor will preach on "The Coming Man." All will want to know if the coming man believes in immersion.

It is amusing how many people who get corrected by the Herald would like to have the Herald cease to speak. Do right brother and the Herald will be your best friend.

The Herald has great respect for that class of Christians who believe ill immersion and a spiritual religou and advocate their principles in a gentlemanly way. The Baptist church has always been held in high esteem.

Many people who believe in immersion don't seem to have any other religious experience to talk about. They have but little use for Paul who wrote to the Romans (8:10), "The spirit itself beareth ttness with our spirit that we are the children of God."

There are some who seem to think they are wiser than Luke and John, for they deny that there is a Holy Ghost. This blasphemy against the Holy Ghost will not be forgiven.— Matt. 12-31. Notwithstanding this, a company of ministers resolved that a manoshould be expelled from their numbers because he taught that there is a Holy Ghost.

The Methodist and Presbyterian churches teach that sprinkling is the proper mode of baptism, but they allow their members to choose their own mode. They are the literal churches. A person may be baptized in these churches by sprinkling, by pouring or by immersion. They say, read the Bible and then select the mode of baptism that will suit you.

The_irreverent and irreligious way in which the Holy Ghost has been blasphemed and the harangues delivered, elevating immersion to a saving ordinance, are calculated to do much harm to young people. People who are settled in their convictions are not influenced thereby, but such buffoonery is calculated to lead the young and unthoughtful into evil ways for the benefit of such persons we ask those who have been long settled in their convictions, to bear with us though we may say many things already well known and seemingly not necessary to be repeated.

From our pastoral visitations we have been led to believe that great harm is being done some of our members by^ the public teaching in this community on the subject of baptism and the spiritual life therefore we intend to give some good, wholesome, correct scriptural instruction on the subject. We shall continue as long as we think necessary. We do not publisn the JleraUl for those who teach heresy, but to disseminate Methodist doctrine and news and to expose the evils of the community. We have no compromise with error, and we expect to warn our people against all shams in religion and teach them correct principles.

The Woman'H Sanitary Society. The Woman's Sanitary Society met at the small court room Friday afternoon and perfected their oiganization by electing the following officers:

Mrs. Dr. Griflith—President. V% Mrs. Cicero McCluer—Vice-Pres. Mrs. Mary D. Travis—Secretary. Mrs. Bay less Hanna—Treasurer. Also supervisors and visitors were elected for each ward.

The object of this organization is to co-operate with the Board of Health and the city authorities in enforcing sanitary laws and ordinances and to arouse public sentiment in the work of preserving health by proper sanitary regulations. Another meeting will be held to-day at 2 o'clock to adopt by-laws which are being formulated by a committee composed of Mrs. McCluer, Mrs. Wellington and Mrs. Leech. Dr. Leech addressed the ladies on the subject of sanitary matters and a general discussion.

Another Pension Keduced.

John Griffin, of Smartsburg, this county, who was a soldier Jn Co. F, 19th Reg. Ky. Vol. Inf., who drew a pension of $8 per month, has just received notice from the Hoke Smith administration that his pension was reduced to $0 per month. This action was taken without according to this old soldier the privilege of a medical examination.

How About This?

Tei-re Haute Erjircss: Mr. Reed Hanna, formerly of this city, is a candidate for representative from Montgomery county on the Democrat ticket.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY.

Its Obncr\unco In Thin City—MclMiorsatt I'oxt at l'"ir«t l'lcslivti'riiiii ('Itiirch.

Sunday throughout tin: Nation was observed as Memorial Sunday, a preparatory service, as it, were, to the events of last ednesday, which was Decoration or Memorial Day. -In this city Mel'hersoii Post No. 7, (!. A. lv., attended the First Presbyferiau church in a body. The post met at headquarters at 10:30, formed ill line, and, with their colors, silently marched to the church and occupied the middle block of pews which had been reserved. The auditorium had been most handsomely decorated witlv (.lowers and flags and the surroundings were in harmony with the day and the occasion. The siuging by the choir was most excellent. Patriotic hymns were sung liieh were inspiring to the veterans present. Rev. 11. S. Inglis chose as his texts from Joshua 4-0, "What mean these storms?" and from Matt. 26-8, "For what purpose this waste'?" After briefly referring to the historical circumstances of these words the minister made a practical application to our civil war, and the principles lor which the Union soldier f'oughtviz: "The equality of man.'Vl It was a most eloquent address and left iits impression on every heart. Many pronounced it in thought, arrangement and diction the most finished to which they had ever listened. So well pleased were the members of the Post with the singing and the sermon that, upon breaking ranks at headquarters, upon motion of Gen. Lew Wallace, the Adjutant was instructed to prepare a resolution of thanks as expressive of the sentiments of the comrades for the instructive and highly edifying services of the day.

Funeral or W. T. Haylcgg.

W. T. Bayless, whose death occurred at his home in this city, Friday, May 25, was the son of A. R. Bayless and was born in Montgomery county fiftytwo years ago, near Alamo. He was never rugged but always delicate in health and for the past ten years has been a constant sufferer, yet those who were not intimately acquainted with him could not guess that he was an invalid, so patiently and so cheerfully did he bear his afflictions. He was a kind and loving husband and an indulgent father and was known by his many friends as an honest, upright man, kind and charitable to all. None can have a better record than this. He leaves a wife and three children, two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss. A large circle of relatives among whom is his aged father, two sisters and two brothers, realize that their loss is his eternal gain. The family wish to return their thanks to neighbor^ and friends for their kindness and assistance during their sore afHietion. They also heartily thank the G. A. 11. Post for services during the funeral, they having borne the expense of the same. The services were held at the Christian church Sunday at 2 o'clock, Rev. W. J. Howe officiating. The services at the grave in Masonic cemetery were conducted by McPherson Post.

The Democratic Convention.

Every one is so absorbed in the approaching Republican convention that the meeting of our Democratic brethren has almost been lost sight of. It will occur June 10 and as yCt the candidates are not very numerous. However, there will be contests for several of the offices.

Dave McAllister will he nominated for representative without opposition. Henry Vancleve is the probable nominee for prosecutor, although M. 10, Clodfelter and Read Hanna are tallied of.

For Auditor the race will probably be close. Bent Snyder and Will Hunt are both after the place. The chances are, perhaps, in favor of Mr. Snyder, as the nomination of Mr. Hunt would seriously interfere with the candidacy of Ben Warbinton for treasurer, he and Hunt both being from Union. Mr. Warbinton's opponent is Bas. Merrill, of Wayne, but he will not be in it unless Hunt is nominated.

For Sheriff, Alex Harper and Milt McKee are mentioned. The former has been canvassing for some time, while Mr. McKee is new in the field.

Mr. Fullen will probably be nominated for commissioner, while no one has as yet been named for Surveyor or Coroner.

CSone lriBa.no,

Amy Brinson, of Madison town ship, one of the delegates to the Re publican convention, has become vio lently insane. His malady is the re suit of spiritualistic seances held in this city. The notorious frauds who impose on the public as mediums should be tarred and feathered when ever they strike the town.

THEY GAMBLED OS THE GREEK.

A F!o«'k of Driven In lty tho Police •Satiilxiay Mjjht and Kclicvcd ol'Tlieir Nice Warm KleeceH,

Saturday night there was a very choice and interesting little game going on in the room over the old Johnson saloon on Green street. There were plenty of cigars and some beer. The ante was live cents with the ceiling the limit. If the cards were cold nobody but the house knew it and the house insisted on taking a blue chip every time a "dog" or a "kittie" stuck its head out of the pack. The game was perfectly peaceful one although at one stage of the proceedings one gentleman did rise to a point of order with a cuspidor in his hand when his neighbor on the other side of the table opened a jack-pot with a pair of sevens and bluffiing the whole crowd out gobbled the pot. It so chanced, however, that the wife of one of these genial souls learned of the whereabouts of her worse half and made Rev. 11. A. Tucker cognizant of the condition of affairs. Mr. Tucker swooped down on Mayor Bandel and told him what was going on. Mayor

Handel told tli'3 police and the police raided the place gathering in out of the wet eleven tin horn gamblers. The whole batch was fined Monday in the Mayor's court.

Johnsing tho-tf umpcr.

Fred .Tohnsing is the jolly jumper who until recently acted in the capacity of chief cigarette fiend and runner for the Nutt hotel. Frederick is fond of cool foaming beer and the other day he assisted "Simp" Bell and a few other coffee colored coons to abstract a can of the nectar belonging to Bill Raub and his pie bald dog. Bill learned that Frederick was concerned and having treed tho young gentleman forced him to give up the names of the whole gang. When this reached the ears of the elegant "Simp" lie waxed wroth and meeting Mr. Johnsing proceeded to punch his head. Mr. Johnsing drew a knife, so it is alleged, and attempted to carve out the lights of his assailant. On Monday Constable Byas arrested Johnsing and hauled him up before the temple of justice where Justice Cliumasero sits enshrined as chief deity. So terribly was Johnsing impressed that he embraced the first opportunity to jump head first through the glass door. He was quickly caught by the sugar-foot-ed coustable, however, and will b& tried before the Mayor. .Judge Cliumasero mourns the loss of his glass door with an exceeding great mourn and expressive language.

Memorial Services in Darlington. Sunday morning, May 27, R. C. Kise lJost, No. 4711, G. A. R., assembled in their hall at 10:30 o'clock, formed and marched with their colors flying to the M. E. church and listened to a most beautiful Memorial sermon delivered by the Rev. Worrall, pastor in charge, from the text found in Exodus, 12th chapter and 20tli verse. He showed the wisdom and rulings of God in all wars, especially in the late war. He also took the ground that if slavery had, never existed there would have been no war. Again, if the war had been postponed until now the South would have been much harder to conquer, and the loss of life would have been much greater, than when fought. He closed his discourse by advising all not already enlisted to follow the example of our old leader, Gen. Manson, and enlist in the army of the Lord. At the close of the discourse Miss Minnie Marshall recited beautiful poem, in a manner highly creditable to herself and her hearers. Several old soldiers, from some cause, failed to attend. This is not as it Should be. Sunday Memorial services and Memorial Day exercises should be as roll call in the days gone by, either present or accounted for. Our ranks cannot increase, but each year will each year decrease, until some time in the not far future not one of 11s will be in line. Then let us each year meet and march to do honor to those of our comrades that have gone before and are waiting to welcome us.
