The question of the price of natural gas is one that will now agitate the people of Toledo, and any information on the subject will be looked for with Interest. Dayton and Springfield have iust agreed on a 20 cenX rate, while St. Marys, Urbana and otner points have also ascended the upwaid grade. The following figures will show the prices now being pitid in the east: Gross. Net.

Our people can see what other towns are paying sos gas and compare them with the rata as fiyed by the home company, you will then find thp rate here is not as high as is charged in ipo®t pf other cities, taking into consideration tfie distance it has to be piped and the cost of construction, which always enter into the price of .any commodity. About all the companies aroun.4 here made their sched ules low until the same got jinder good headway and they issued their schedule of prices, and when the consumer had gpt his house plumbed and was enjoying a pleasant time, feeling 1 that fils fuel was so good and at samp time very cheap, when compared with the ,co»t of epaj or wood, the gas companies have rai ed the price of gas, making it about the same as the cpst of coal. While the aim of th,e Decatur company has been to make it right at the Start and treat the people the very best by telling them at <?ncy what the price is and you will see by comparing the schedule of prices with those above that thp p.csi'ur company is ver.y 4 fair ia their prices. It is Over. The council on last Tuesday evening by the assistance of Mayor Reed selected a member of the school IparrJ jo fprve for the nex tthree years—The contest wasa hotter one, embracing all the charges that a campaign for a county or sta’e office can bring with it. While perhaps a large number of the difererjt chaarge.s aa, untrue they are such as ne'er should be allowed to come before the public in such a case where the selection of a member cf the school b >ard is to be selected. Some of the charges went so far that they cannot be recalled and may enter into the schoo) this coming year. we do nqt care to repeat the charges at this time; we will try and do so before the next member of the city school boar d is to be selected so drat the council may he benefited thereby that such charges as are D ow placed against them may JWW be s a pbarg 4 t 0 any other councilman of our firjr city, for our school intere*ts are such that a councilman should haye nothing else at heart but the best interests of the school, laying aside all personal feelings and friendly re' lations and discharge the duty as a judge

o( a court, when trying a case, keeping the good of the county and the law steadily in view and remembering that the will of the people as the law is applicable to the case is what he will do. So should the council in the selectioh of the member of the school board. The men composing the same should be the best educated and best qualified that the city numbers among those drfdctly interested In the cause and will raise the standard of the school to that degree that the school deserves. And such an end can only be accomplished by raising the grade of all connecten therewith, While we have never attempted to inform the council as to their duty in the case of members of the council they should cast aside everything for the interest of the school, casting aside that feeling that “I will cast my vote opposite the member of the council that I have some feeling against.” On Teacher’s Examinations. At a recent meeting-of the State Board of education, it was ordered: 1. That’questions on Holmes’ “Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,” not be given teachers in examination, for license, until February 1893. 2. That in the months of September, October and November, 1892, teachers be required to pass examinations on lists bared on Longfellow’s "Evangeline.” 3. That jn the months of December 1892 and January 1893 teachers be required to pass an examination based on Whittier’s “Snow-bound.” At the last meeting of the Indiana County Superintendents Association the following rcgulatiofls were adopted: p, No applicant who has never taught ft the public schools, edn hereafter be licensed for more than twelve months. 2. Np applicant, who has not taught in the public schools ten months, can hereafter receive a twenty-four months license. 3. No applicant, who has not taught in the public schools twenty months, can hereafter receive a thirty-six months license. Respectfully, J. F. Snow, Supt. Another Swindle.

In his wand erings he discovered a cigar box that had the stamp scratched and the cigars not all sold, and so laid the matter before the proprietor. In so doing he offered to compromise the matter by the propt ietor ■ paying him sls, and he, the proprietor, thinking it about the easiest way out gave him the money.
