The courtship of these young people was very romantic, it being a case of love at first sight, an engagement being made at the second meeting. Miss lianna is well known here, having spent much of the winter in Terre Haute. Her friends all join in wishing her every conceivable joy and prosperity in her married life.

An Art and A Seleneo.

Newspaper advertising may be as old as the newspapers, but it is only within the past few years that it has developed into an art and science and become an essential feature of nearly every successful business enterprise. The advancement of the press and its extended usefulness and popularity has given added value to the advertising column, but there is back of this and all other factors in the building up of the present gigantic advertising system the fact that the man of business has learned that advertising pays, and that iu the field of modern methods and sharp competition, it is an essential element of success.

RAGING CREEKS.

The Heavy Kainfall or the Tust l'e\v Days llesu 11 in Swelling the Nlroains Out All i'rnport ions A 11 the

Creeks Are On a impaj^e and Considerahle Damage is Done.

The rainfall of the first of the week has been almost unprecedented, and all that has fallen since last Friday has run oil through the ditches and branches to the creeks, the ground being too thoroughly soaked to admit of the retention of more moisture. Several inehes of water fell Monday night and the streams over the couuty are booming as they have not boomed for several years. Sugar Creek is all over the bottom lands and running a regular current through them, doing great damago where they are planted in wheat. All day Tuesday a crowd stood on the Monon fill and watched the raging waters rise, for the rise was a steady and rather rapid one since daybreak. Considerable drift has gone down, including some valuable sawlogs. Walnut Fork was reported to be higher than it was even at the time of the freshet of '90. Dry Branch is larger than Sugar Creek is normally, and those who reside on the banks of this festive stream report that they have suffered material loss, not having been prepared for the rise. One woman residing near the Plum street depot even had the wash tuba and chicken coops swept from her dooryard.

Black Creek runs through that part of the county where the rainfall was heaviest and the stream was said to be higher Tuesday than it has been since 18(34, the year that the Holloway datn went out'. At one place the creek wan eight hundred yards wide, spreading over the bottoms like a great lake.

Therewas no thoroughfare on tlieCov ington hill, just across the iron bridge Tuesday, owing to the fact that one of the great banks which towered above the road became so soaked with water that it indulged in a landslide and went crashing across the road, taking with it trees and rocks. The clearance of this muss will entail quite a little expense. .The railroads all report losses and several of them have had costly washouts. The Vandalia had an ugly one on Tuesday south of Waveland, which delayed traffic for some hours.

Fanners who reside along the creeks ana branches state that much fencing has gone down, and that it has been tiken in many cases from points which have not been under water for ten or fifteen years. Out through the country all the fields are covered with water, the ditches proving wholly inadequate to the task of carrying it off. Cellars, dry wells, and cisterns are all full and the ground is thoroughly soaked for a depth of several feet.

LaPearl's Klepliant.

Danville, 111., Aews: Many amusing and exciting incidents happen at the LaPearl winter quarters and one of the latest was caused by the necessary spring oiling which is given the elephants to keep their hide from cracking. It takes some ten gallons of neatsfoot oil to successfully give Big Charley his spring bath and put him in a good lively huuior. Last Friday the keeper gave hm his spring going over using lots of oil and rubbing him well with cloths and brushes and after completing the task went away and left hitn. The proceedings had made Charley feel pretty good and he had to f-ee how stout he was and "the only thing in reach was Ding Dong, the baby elephant, and Charley immediately proe'eded to pick her up and literally throw her through a two-inch partition making the dust and splinters lly in all directions. Those who were near at the time busied themselves for a while iu trying to get out of the building but after seeing that Big Charley was only joking and seemed contented with his -powers as a base ball pitcher, they, like our business men, regained confidence and approached to see the extent of the damage committed. The little elephant was caused no great inconvenience though she knew she had been on a trip. Charley promised to be good and they have made up.

Mace School.

The Mace school was brought to a successful close 011 last Friday afternoon. An excellent programme was carried out by the children in the public hall, which was crowded to its utmost capacity by patrons and friends of the school. Mr. Uobson and Miss Hall merit the praise of everyone for their efforts in behalf of the school during the term ]ust closed.

A Little Bird Story.

There is a rumor afloat to the effect that a well know business man of this city is soon to wed a popular school teacher of Ripley township.

A WAIL.

The Tipton Turn's Dues Not Take Kindly to the Pl'elcrment .!' .In:' Iheadle, the Renegade.

I ho liptou Times, the official organ of the Democracy of Tipton county, speaks as follows: "There, are no plausible, reasons why •J. B. Choadle, Republican, should be nominated for Congress by a Democratic convention. When the Democratic delegates nominated him two years ago at Frankfort, I10 said in his acceptation speech,»"I thank you for this endorsement." Such an utterance was an insult to every Democrat in the room. The Democrats did not endorse him or his political record, lie only claimed to advocate one Democratic principle—free silver—and his nomination was only the result of a trade. Joe Cheadle had competed in every Republican convention for Congress for ten years, and after being ignominiously defeated, kicked out of tiio convention and spurned by decent Republicans for his greed for otlicial pap, like Oliver Twist, he tries to seek new associates and attempts to crowd out life time Democrats in the hope of getting the salary for another term, by bartering small nominations for larger ones. The editor of the Times has made a special effort to ascertain the feeling in Tipton county, aud there is not a Democrat to our knowledge, that wants the Democratic party to commit political suicide by nominating a Republican like tloe Cheadle for Congress. Hie Populist leaders do not want him neither do the masses of tluit party, while the Republicans would vote for a "yellow dog" before they would vote for a man who had deserted their ranks because I10 could 110 longer get office. It is the strangest thing on earth to think that a Democratic convention would entertain tho idea of nominating a Republican for Congress when there are so many good Democrats in the difitrict who are anxious for that nomination. If tho free silver forces of the district must unite on a man, for God's sake take a candidate who is a free silver man from principle and not for office only. The Democratic party would just as well commit suicide as to nominate Joe Cheadle. If Joe Cheadle is nominated it will dishearten all progressive Democrats and they will give up the fight without a struggle. Such a silly nomination would also aid very materially in weakening the entire Democratic ticket. lion. J. M. Fippin, of this county—the only reliable Democratic county in the district—wants tho nomination. Mr. Fippin is a sturdy, deserving Democrat and a fighter who will tolerate no shams. He merits the nomination aud starts in the race with the unanimous indorsement of the gallant Democracy of Tipton county, has the endorsement of nearly all the Democrats of Hamilton county, and a scattering support of the other couuties. In the event of success in convention he will campaign tho district as it was never done before, and will carry Tipton county by from 700 to 800 aud be a great help to our county ticket,while.Jos. Cheadle will lose the county and greatly injure the county ticket. Is the Dainocracy of Tipton county, which has recorded a Democratic plurality for more than half a century for all Democratic tickets, to be dered at aud SDurned by forcing an old, fossilized, broken down office seeking Republican politician like Joe Cheadle 011 it? Better take a sensible course, gentlemen. If .J. M. Fippin is to be defeated in convention it, must be done by a Democrat, and not a Republican."

Colfax I'ost. Vindicated.

Some weeks ago a furore was raised in Indiana U. A. R. circles by the issue of a circular letter purporting to come from and by tht authority of Stilwell Post, of Colfax, aud advocating a united movement to secure the election of Congressmen who were pledged to a general pension law. Commander Dodge of the Department of Indiana, asked the commander of the post for an explanation, and received an official disavowal, with the further assertion that the two men responsible for the circular were not members of any post. Realizing that political tricksters would make the most of the incident, to the detriment of the G. A. Commander Dodge determined to satisty himself thoroughly and leave no doubt about the matter. He accordingly sent a special commissioner to Colfax to investigate the circumstances, and as he anticipated, the commissioner's report has completely vindicated the post. The report has just been received by the Department Commander.

Wero Married.

At the residence of the officiating minister, Rev. G. W. Stafford, Guy Ellington and Miss Sadie Apple were married on March 19.

PART FIRST

THE HIGH SCHOOL FACE.

Caused lly Modern ICd'orU to .lam AIL .Minds a lid Temperament In the Mime Pigeon Moles.

Indianapolis ./ounntf: CopiouB comment has been made on various types of faces, and particularly on the bicycle face. This article is about the high school face.

The high school face is tho discovery of a prominent physician of the city who is too modest to permit his name to be used. That there is such a face lie is very positive. "It is not a work of tho imagination," he said yesterday, "nor is it a chimera. The high school face is & stern reality." "What are its symptoms of characteristics, doctor?" he was asked. "The high school face," replied tho doctor, "is to be found in every school jotu. What is it? It is a drawn, anxious, intense, sometimes an alarmed expression. The forehead is contracted into wrinkles, tho lips twitch, tho eyes stare or have a strained look, and a pallor is spread over the countenance."

The doctor enlarged ou this interesting dinguosis and mentioned a few cases that had como under his own observation. Proceeding he said: "The cause of the high school face is the modern effort, so fiercely put forth, to jam all minds and all temperaments into the same pigeon holes in the same time. That is to say, modern teaching seems to have for its first principle tho molding of all minds in the same mold. We might just as well try to make all tho children wear tho same sized shoes. In addition to this, each teacher of the different branches thinks his or her branch the most important. and crowds and pushes and worries those pupils who, although not dull, do not take readily to that particular branch. "I'he pupil who, through natural aptitude, carries mathematic or physics with interest and ease, may be slow in literature and language but no matter, the culprit muBt make grades. 'We must hurry on and get over the prescribed course,' says tho teacher and this must be done, though a small per centago of tho pupils fall by the wayside."

Some Ilitfh Water Mates.

A gentleman that lives on Sugar Creek gives us some high water notes. He says takiug this last freshet as a basis to figure from the high water mark of Sept. 3, 18t)5, was five inches above this July 27, lS'.Hi, twenty inches above August, 1875, forty-one inches above. All these marks were placed on the same tree. Of course these marks will not hold good for all points on the creek on account of the rainfall not being the same at all points, but it will go to show those that did not see the great freshet of 1875 what an immense body of water it was when you place forty-one inches on top of this last one.

Music 51 nil.

Auks a New Trial.

Frankfort Times: Robert Lane will get anew trial, if the vigorous efforts of his counsel can bring about sucti a result. riiat the effort is to be 110 mere formal motion for the sake of completing tho record upon which to ask for an appeal to the Supreme Court is shown by the fact that Attorney Moore asked for and has been granted until Friday to prepare for his argument for a new trial.
