A merchant tailor will ask you to wait a fortnight for a suit of clothes, and then it will probably have to be altered to fit. He will be willing to wait some time for his pay, but will see to it that you pay for that, too. We can fit you out in five minute?, make any slight alteration necessary and send your suit home the same day. You not only save time, but several dollars as well. Then you have an advantage in seeing^how the suit fits and looks before purchasing, and an additional advantage in being able to buy your Men's and Boys' Clothing, Hats and Furnishings at one place.

NEW MONEY ORDER.
It Will lie an Improvement on tlie One Now In Use.
Beginning September 15, anew form of postoffice money order will be brought into use, and will be a great improvement on the one now given by the postoffice. The greatest change in the system will be in the giving of a receipt with each order. The receipt will be an exact fac simile of the or iginal order when it is filled out. This method of making the fac simile will prevent any mistake, and at the s&me time will be conclusive proof that such an order was issued. If the order is lost in transmission this receipt will fjk'g bs redeemed by the office after a rea^Mr sonable time has elapsed for search to be made for the missing order. The price for the orders will remain un WfljJ changed
Popped It to Him.
The trial of Charley Anable, of Val ley fame, for maintaining a disorderly housfi in the neighborhood of Sperry's bridge, came up before Mayor Elmore Tuesday afternoon. Both sides were armed to the teeth with testimony of a biased character and for some time the court listened to the words of wisdom which fell from the lips of not overly clean or overly truthful witnesses. Then the "pleadings" of the lawyers began and were continued for some time, the fiery eloquence rivaling that of the coaching line at a hotly contested base ball game. When the pyrotechnics were at last concluded the mayor cleared his throat and threw the harpoon into Mr. Anable. The fine was ten dollars and there were costs to match.
The Castleton Divorce Case.
Washington Court House (O.) Herald: The case of Edward Drexel Castleton vs. Okalla Castleton, for divorce, was heard before Judge Walters Saturday. The grounds were drunkenness, abuse, profanity, etc. The defendant was not in attendance at the trial on account of the illness of her mother, Mrs. Bayless Hanna. of Chicago. Five or six witnesses were examined and the judge took the case under advisement and returned to Circleville this afternoon. Post & Raid were attorneys for plaintiff, and H. H. Sanderson for defendant
House Kobbed.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Williams, of south Walnut street, were absent from home Monday evening until half past nine o'clock, and during their absence the house was burglarized. At, least it is supposed it was during their absence, for the visit was not discovered until next morning when it was seen that thing" about, the house had beoc turned *opsy-turvey. The thieves, like thos3 who visited Jim Coulter, wanted only money and they found only a small amount, which had been left in Mrs. Williams' pocketbook.

A MANILA PAPER.
It Contains Some Interesting Facts Noted Ily Those on the Ground,
The Journal is in receipt of an interesting newspaper, Freedom, published in Manila, Philippine Islands. The first page contains long articles on "McKinley's Proposal," an account of the meeting of the American commissioners and the Filipino envoys "A Talk About Foods," or suggestions as to what the soldiers should eat "Flour Mill in Manila," which is an account of the mill now in operation there, and in which the statement is made that the wheat is all imported from the United States and principally from California, and two other articles. One, on the money distributed in the Philippines, is as follows: S 'The government, through the chief paymaster, pays its employes in the Philippines over 81,400,000 bi-monthly. Of this enormous sum fully one-fourth is sent home, chiefly through the paymaster. American soldiers aren't spendthrifts after all. If this amount were paid wholly in Mexican silver there wouldn't be wagon trains enough upon the islands to carry it about to the men. The pay of a colonel would aggregate thirty-seven pounds, while a private in the field would die of exhaustion in a day's march. Gold is heavy enough, too heavy for those who are responsible for the transportation of quantities of the precious metal. "The chief paymaster, for the convenience of all concerned, asked the government to send him the bulk of wage money in treasury notes. First, however, he secured the promise of the banks not to discount them below gold. All Boldiers who have silver dollars to the amount of $5 or over will find the chief paymaster always ready to exchange for a money which they can trade at the existing gold rate."
The experience of a lady from Manila with one of the generals of the insurgents is thus related: "A lady very well known among the residents of thi6 city has ju6t returned from an enforced residence of months in the province of Camarines, in the southern part of Luzon. She reports that Aguinaldo's agents there are robbing and terrorizing the natives until the entire population is praying for the coming of the Americans to drive out the oppressors. This lady had gone to visit friends in Camarines for her health. When the rebellion broke out here 800 of Aguinaldo's men, under one of his generals, landed in this province. It is said that some 200 of the band are armed with rifles, while the others carry boloes. »«, "With their advent the reign of terror began. They took possession of houses outright, demanded indemnities from the rich and levied burdensome taxes upon all, this in the name of ye god, Aguinaldo. Armed with his 60 called authority, they plundered to their hearts' content. The lady, who had been acquainted with the general when he was but a muchacho in Manila, says that he once told her that he was as anxious as the peaceful natives for the Americans to come. Then he would seize his opportunity of slipping away to Hong-Kong with the 880,000 which he said was his share of the mulcting of the inhabitants "When the lady asked him how Aguinaldo was going to get his share, the general snapped his fingers and replied: 'Ob. Aguinaldo can whistle for his money She further says that the natives are wild to have the Americans send forces there to punish the invaders. They are not agreeable to putting up with the kind of liberty to which they have been subjected for the past months
A notice that is given a prominent place in the paper reads: Insurrectos, turn your guns and bo good Americans. An order has just been issued from headquarters that every insurrecto who will voluntarily tarn in his arms will ba given 30 pesos for his gun. Unless general expectation is disappointed Mauner rifles will soon be pouring in like an influx of wildcat money. Instructions are to be given alontf the lines to disseminate this information as widely as possible through thB insurgent territory."

TO GET THEIR MONEY.
InriinuA Volunteers Will Kecelvo I'ay for State KqulpinentH.
Attorney-General Taylor has advised Adjutant-General Gore to begin at once to pay soldiers of the Indiana regiments in the Spanish-American war for the state equipment which they "turned in" when they were equipped by the Federal government. Inasmuch as all money appropriated for this purpose not paid out within a year will revert to the state treasury, the attorney-general deems it best for the adjutant-general not to wait until a whole regiment has sent in its vouchers, but to pay by companies. The pay rolls, when signed by oflicers or soldiers to whom money is due, the attorney-general says, become vouchers in tt hands of the adjutantgeneral. If tne soldier can not sign the pay roll, he may have an attorney do it for him. The money due him will then be paid. The adjutantgeDeral has received several pay rolls and will,proceed with the payment at once

OARING ROBBERS-
Xliey Enter the I&00111 of Jim Coulter aud Force Him to Disgorge nig Coin.
James Couiter owns a house on thB corner of Lafayette avenue aud North street. Steve Miller and wife occupy all except one room and in that Mr. Coulter keeps bachelor's hall. Mr. Coulter works at the Leo tile factory and being a careful and economic mail usually has considerable money on hand. Monday he was at the home of his brother-in-law, Ike Clements, who resides just opposite him, until after eleven o'clock when he went home and retired. lie was awakened about half past twelve by hearing some one out in the yard but gave little heed to this until the parties came to hi6 door and stopped. The door was open but the wire screen door was latched. When the marauders stopped there Coulter thought that it was time for him to order them to leave and Btarted to get out of bed to issue his mandate. He had hardly thrown one foot over the rail, however, before a dark lantern was flashed on him and gazing at the light he saw a big revolver leveled at his head. A quiet voice told him to get back in bed and to lie still. He did so aud even went so far as to draw the covers over his head. The robbers then cut the screen and raising the latch walked in. There were two of them entered the room while a third one stood guard on the outside. The two who were in the room were masked and evidently tried to disguiso their voices, speaking in heavy tones. Ihey shoved a revolver under Coulter nose and with a few violent oaths told him to "shell out his coin." Coulter protested that he was "broke" but with a volley of profanity the robbers told him that they new better, that he had drawn $100 from one of the banks only two days before. They threatened to kill him but when he persisted in the declaration that he had nothing in the house except the two dollars found in his clothes they prepared to depart. Coulter offered them his silver watch but they laughed it to scorn and committed both it and him to the infernal regions in language more forceful than polite. Before leaving they told .Coulter that if he so much as chirped for five minutes after they were gone that they would come back and ipepper him full of holes. Coulter kept quiet until they were safely out of the house and then he raised his voice to pitch calculated to awaken even tho police up town. He called for dements and he called for Miller aud &11 the rest of the neighbors and it was not long before a goodly congregation was on the spot. The Millers' on awakening found that the robbers had first visited them and had effected an entrance by removing a screen window. They obtained only a little over a dollar there, however. "Chic" Holland, who lives next door to the scene of action, heard the robbers as they ran away and states that one of them fell over his clothes line. A searching party followed the trail indicated for some distance but got no clew as to the wherabouts or identity of the thugB. All are satisfied that the crime was committed by local talent and some do not hesitate to say that they could lay their hands on the guilty parties.
