He has written those in authority there that he is good for a residence in Washington until August. It smells bad down around Jeffersonville and the reformatory, but the governor is fumigating. He is not doing it with a whitewash brush and as a result the services of Dr. Hurty will not be required. c ' 11 . . -.IX Who was it said Jim Watson was going to settle down and get to work —was going to practice law and provide for himself and family, leaving the inference that he had spent a lifetime serving the good people of the Union at great personal loss? Well, he hasn't done any settling down yet that anybody knows of. But he'« busy just the same. His address is Washington, D. C. He's sacrificing —in the interests of the trusts and tariff barons. In other words, he's a lobbyist for the interests at Washington, doing his best to push through the kind of tariff bill the special interests demand. That's the way Jim Watson's practicing law, and the people of Indianapolis are onto him. He'll never practice law while lobbying is good. About the only law case that we have heard of Watson being interested in of late was a graveyard case over at Connersville this last week. We never knew anything more appropriate than this, taking into consideration the handsome manner in which “Our Jim" was buried at the election last November. And what is more, the people seem to be in the humor of repating the dose should Mr. Watson want to try it another beat. —Shelbyville News. It was just eight months ago that The Star, in the throes of Watson's defeat, felt under the imperious necessity of calling the Grencastle Herald a liar. A painful, not wholly creditable, and difficult to be forgotten episode. Yet the imputation of

A BIG SLAUGHTER _SALS_ As I must close my business on Tuesday night, July 6,1 will close out all my bottled goods at a greatly reduced price. ft Sacrifice in Price 200 bottles of whisky, 300 bottles of wine, gins and all other bottled goods will be sold between now and Tuesday night.

imbecHity that provoked the outcry has not been repeated and if we have observed the Herald to intelligent purpose, the error will not occur again. The Herald is a useful institution in its way —Democratic, unfortunately, and hence its offense—and welcome to The Star's exchange table as the flowers in May. Out of that passage at arms emerged two friends. The occasion referred to grew out of a recognition in these columns of Governor Marshall's many amiable qualities, and it is perhaps in order to say that the first six months of his administration have in no way altered the good opinion then entertained and often since then expressed. As a Democratic governor, Mr. Marshall is one to appeal strongly to a Republican newspaper. There is a delightful nonpartisan quality about his historic prepossessions and poetic flights. He is strong for the national game, and that is much. He can keep his head cool, his mouth shut, his counsel to himself. He may be the Democratic nominee for president next time. He may even be president. Anyhow, there have been worse ones; and if such a thing should happen there would be many a dry eye in The Star office. — Indianapolis Star. WILL MAKE TRIP TO THE PACIFIC Bud Brokaw, the north Second street saloon man, is closing out his stock of wet gods, preparatory to going out of business next Tuesday, July 6th, when his license expires. He will leave shortly afterward on an extended trip to the Pacific coast, visiting Los Angeles and other coast cities and taking in the fair at Seattle. If he strikes the right opening he may engage In business in that section of the country. Chill Omlor also closes his place of business next week. — o HAD HIS TONSILS REMOVED Frank Schultz, a printer at this office. who has suffered considerably during the past year or two from tonsilitis and quinsy, bad his tonsils removed this afternoon. The operation was performed by Dr. Earl G. Coverdale, and was a successful one. It is believed this will greatly relieve Frank and will be the cause of his regaining his health which has been rather bad for some time. 0 THE REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Rea! estate transfers: D. E.

CHOSEN INTERNE Dr. Harry Erwin Named for That Place in the St. Joseph Hospital AT FORT WAYNE Recently Graduated from Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons Dr. Harry Erwin, son of Judge and Mrs. Richard K. Erwin, and a native of this city, where he was born and raised, has been appointed interne at the St. Joseph hospital at Fort Wayne, and will begin his duties Monday. Harry graduated a few weeks ago from the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons, through which institution he worked himself by his own efforts and this appointment places him where he will get a wide experience and a reputation that will insure his future success. He is a capable young man, industrious and his friends here know that he will more than make good in this splendid position. The St. Joseph hospital is one'of the best in the land, and a few years there is even more valuable than a college course. He succeeds Dr. John McArdle, who has held the place for several years, and who now goes to the lakes for a few weeks rest before entering upon the practice of medicine at Fort Wayne. We certainly wish Dr. Erwin success, ana in doing so we but voice the sentiments of the entire population in this locality. o IT WAS A REGULAR WESTERNER The Cyclone That Passed Over Will? shire a Week Ago. The cyclone that passed through and over Willshire last Thursday evening had all the appearance of being one of the Kansas-Nebraska breed. Some of the didoes it cut were on a par with some of the frea kstorms that made the western plains so notorious and undesirable in which to live up until a few years ago, when it became apparent that a cyclone could cut loose in any old place and tear th very Old Harry up all along its path. It did that very thing right here in Willshire, Thursday evening and Friday morning there were some wondrous tales being told of the capers the mad old thing had cut. Just as it was about to enter town on the pike past the Calvin Moorehead residence, it met Chas. Feasel who was on his way home. The meeting was so unexpected to both that they hardly knew what to do at first, but the cyclone was the first to get its breath, and then it went right after Charley something like voters went after the saloons in this and adjoining states, and left him in just about the same condition, only he wasn't sure of having the thirty or ninety days to run, before he was entirely put out of business. —Willshire Herald.

The supervisors of Union township, are going to comply with the law in regard to cleaning the highways of weeds. They have issued this order: All weeds along all the public roads must be cut the first time by the 20th of July and again the 20th of August. If this order is not complied with at that time, no receipts will be issued for land tax. The law is clear and the officers rightly propose that it shall be followed. This notice is given by J. G. Bittner, supervisor, and by Fred Thieme deputy for the south half. 158-6 t o WANTED—An elderly woman, first class cook and housekeeper for three people. A good home for the right party. Best wages.
