FRIDAY, APRIL'2."), 1002.

How are ourj manufacturers Invading the world'.-' The Boston Tnmwriijt says that even when it comes to the crowning of an English king, an American manufacturer is supplying London with thousands of "official" souvenir buttons.

MK. BRYAN took advantage of our '•fictitious prosperity" to build a Sti.OOO barn. This handsome edifice has relegated the Nebraska Colonel's silk nightshirt and diamond pin to the far distant rear. The cross of gold, by the way, does not seem to worry Mr. Bryan so much as it did. When a man comes into possession of a moderate share of this world's goods things looks substantial and less "fictitious" than they did when he was without means.

BRADSTREET'S report of failures for the first quarter of the year shows an extremely Healthy and prosperous business condition. "Briefly stated," says this journal, "failures were 12 per cent, fe'.ver in number, andlthore were 1 per cent, smaller liabilities this year than the average for the preceding ten years,while as compared with the average for the five years preceding failures this year wer§ 5 per ccent. fewer and "liabilities were 9 per cent, less."

TUB debate on Cuban reciprocity has been interesting and instructive. General Gro3venor in a very able speech gave notice that the time was not distant when a general revision of some of the Dingiey schedules would become necessary and grew eloquent in his peroration when he announced that the principles of protection were greater than any single tariff bill and the acumen of the party too great to be chained to duties which had outlived their usefulness. His speech produced a great effect on tb younger members. The fate of the bill in the senate is still in doubt but the pressure from outside is increasing and, while Bome of the opponents of the bill have been talking of delaying legislation unt.il toQ late for coniiderfttjon in the senate at this session, the warning has come from the senators that such a course would be met by their attaching a Cuban reciprocity clause to some appropriation bill.

BOWERS

Wheat is suBering very much for rain. The farmers are all about done plowing for corn.

Dr. Ware will occupy the red house for an ollice after next week. We now have four mails daily, heretofore we only received two.

Ad Evans from near Sharon Church visited at (leorge Bowen's Sunday. Charles Carver had a light paralytic attack on last Saturday but is some better at this time.

There is to be an effort to raise money enough to release the church debt here next week.

Wes Hamilton, of near Dayton visited at Dr. Ware's Saturday and Sunday, his daughter Maude and son Willie accompanied him.

Miss Ada Gunkle, of near Thorntown has a music class here. Misses Lena Hutchinson and Tina Hampton are members of the class.

William Bundy has bought the Isaac Woodard property and moved into hie property across the street for a few days until he gets possession of his house lately bought at Thorntown.

William Strain, of Darlington was on our streets Tuesday, looking after the new school house. A few more such men as him and Bowers would have a new graded school building.

The fight over locating the new school house has been an exciting one and it is as yet an unsettled atTair. as the citizens of Bowers and the farmers east want the building situated at or near here, or have the district schools re-established, but it looks very much like they will keep wanting.

RURAL ROUTE NO. 1.

RAINFALL OF A YEAR.

Hut not away Only by day And then to loom In sight .,

And this it Is said, As she lay In bed Is the scene that made Mary store,

Forshe6awltrl.se With tlery eyes And madly paw ihe air.

Indiana Below the Average, But Not ao Bad as Conditions In the West. I Call for Election of Delegates to County Convention—Apportion-

Section Director Blythe notes that the rainfall in Indiana for the last twelve months preceding was not greatly deficient, at least not so deficient as to cause distress, as has beer, the case west of the Mississippi river.

The average annual rainfall in Indi ana is iW inches. Daring the past twelve months the rainfall has been 32.51 inches, a deficiency, of 74 inches. This deficiency, however, occurred at a time to do some damage to growing crops. The deficiency was greatest in central Indiana where the shortage averaged 8 inches. In the northern part of the state the deficiency was 4 1!) inches: in the southern part of the state 7.1H, inches below the average.

In January, 1902, the average precipitation for the state was 2 42 Inches, a shortage of 1 inch: February, ,b(i inch, a shortage of 2 HI inches: March, 2 inches, a shortage of 1.H2 Inches. Thus far in April, 1 !02. for Indiana, the rainfall ha bjen ,2" of an inch, a deficit up to April 1!» of 92 inches. The shortage in 1902 up to. date is 7.70 inches.

During the period from March 2S to March il, 1902, inclusive, rains were general throughout the state, and put the ground in good condition. This was the last period of rain.

POUR DAYS IN APRIL.

Mary had a little lamb, She lied him to a stalie: Then sheared him clean of all his wool,

And 'ed him frosted jakr.

For the weather seer Forecasted clear, Wllh warmer days In sight:

Hut just the same, A blizzard came The next ensuing night. f.

Tnc wind swept past, With an lev blast. Of snow and sleet and hail,

And the lamb chilled through, Till he turned sky blue. And couldn't wag his tail. -ii':

And Mary ried, Till she nearly died, When she saw his cruel plight:

Then she closed a deal And sold him for veal, The next ensuing night.

I!ul don suppose This ended her woes, Oh no, they had just begun

For that frozen lamb So stifT and calm, Left spook that skipped and

Its hoofs it had shed, And the ears from its head. And she was thrown into such a fright

Thai she wildly Ued And was found frozen dead The next ensuing night. l)i HOMKK HOWKKH.

A resident of the western part of Eastpoi't, says an pxchangtf, Who Owns a common-looking white dog. had been Bomewhut surprised at the latter bringing home some time during the morning a number of clams, which the dog would eat at leisure. Thinking the dog might, have been calling on some of the neighbors and "hooked" the clams, he followed up the canine one morning this week and was surprised as well as delighted- to see the dog walk to a sandbar in the western part of the city and proceed to dig his mess of clams, which were carried home in his mouth.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Greyhound llie Animal. A correspondent says t.liat as the result of experiments he lias made under careful timing, he finds that the grey hound is the fastest of all four-footed animals. When going at full gallop it can cover twenty yards a second, or about one mile in a minute and twen-ty-eight seconds—a speed thai comes very near that of a earner pigeon.
