G. W. L. A LONG-SHOT.
The Brown ltoller Has Thrown a Weight and Can't Win the Consolation Itace.
It is with a peculiar sense of regret that many citizens of "old Montgomery" will learn that a combination has been effected in Democratic circles whereby our pet G. W. L. Brown may not get the Democratic nomination for Congress. It has been fondly hoped ever since Mr. Brown consented to allow his name to go before the convention that the honor of the nomination would be given to Montgomery county, but the information comes from a reliable source that the honor cannot be ours. In fact, it seems that even some of the delegates from our own county are so recreant to every sense of local pride as to lend themselves to a scheme to nominate Clieadle. Think of it! Such a rockbottom Democrat as G. YV. L. Brown turned down by his own delegates for such a renegade as Cheadle. "Politics is politics," indeed.
On Wednesday a leading Democratic silverite of the county stated in THE JOUKNAI. office that the slate was fixed for Mr. Cheadle and that he would certainly win. There are four names to go before the convention: Dr. Hardy, of Boone Brown, of Montgomery Cheadle of Clinton: and "Calamity Jim" Fippen. of Tipton.
Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping.
On that lone pilgrimage from whence no traveler e'er returns departed the spirit of William Walkup July 5, 1S90. He was born in Augusta county, Va., June 13, 1823, coming to Indiana, when quite small, with his parents and resided near Waveland, where he spent his earlier years enduring the hardships and the privations of pioneer life. It was through honest industry he accumulated property and in the fall of 1800 he married Margaret J. Bratton. It was only one short year of married life. She was called home leaving a little son a few hours old, who for thirty-five years has lived to be the solace and the stay of his declining years. It has been pathetic the way he revered the sacred memory of the dead companion of his manhood days. But Uncle Billie is gone, and he has left a son and his wife, a little granddaughter, Maggie, to grieve for the loved one that will never return. He has left a host of friends and relatives and an aged brother who misses the companion of his youth and old age, but he has the sympathy of all in his sad "Good-bve Bill." He was

member of no church but he believed that "by faith are we saved" and not by churches or creeds. At old Union he was laid to rest. Like Jacob of old he was gathered unto his fathers near the Rachel of his youth. So let him rest. We have his mantle of honest rightness, and the same God is as yesterday, to-day and forever. And He gave, He took, He will restore He doeth all things well.
DEATH IN FLAMES.
The Marion County Poor House Is On Fire and Kscape is Shut Off From Seventy Inmates.
Special to The Journal.
IXDIANAPOLIS, July 23.—Word was received this afternoon that the Marion county poor honse, three miles northwest of this city, was on fire. The last words that came over the wire from the superintendent to the News before the telephone was burned was: "We have a bad fire in the main building. For humanity's sake send the fire department out." The department has gone out. The building is a three-story brick. In the attic story are twenty insane patients, some of them desperate and others helpless. There is .fear that these- have been lost. There area hundred othei patients in the building.
LATEU.—The fire at the poor farm has destroyed the east wing in which the women are housed. Fifty insane patients were removed from the building. There were not enough guards to watch them and many escaped in the corn fields. The superintendent believes none of the inmates were burned. The fire is still raging at half past two.
An Infallible Sign.
The weather prophets are early to the front with their predictions for the coming winter, which they, with one accord, say will be a cold one. They base their calculations upon the heavy shuck that encloses the festive roasting ear, and they claim the sign is an infallible one.
Big Tribe of lteil Men.
About fifteen of the Darlington Improved Red Men went over to Mechanicsburg Tuesday and instituted a new tribe, consisting of eight members by card and seventy by adoption. This is an unusually large number of charter members.
Successful auveruseia use Remington's County Seat Lists. They include the best towns and best papers. We can recommend them highly. Send to Remington Broth era. N«*' Vork. for OOIIT

We Can't Do It
We can't do as some others are doing—mark our Shoes down 35c to 50c on the pair and then sell at cost. Our margin of profit is not big enough to admit of it but we can do better by you. We can sell you Shoes at less than the socalled "cost price" of others, and give you fresh, honest stock to choose from,—not old crabs that nobody want's. See for yourself.
