Whii.e speaking of local county taxes why doesn’t the hand hill tell the people what is becoming of that $7,000 which the county through a state law is saving on officers salaries in the matter of fees? And why doesn’t it compare the high assessment of lands in this county with that of neighboring counties. This county robs the tax payer by levying a low rate and an abnormally high assessment and then tries to hoodwink people. We quote one instance: A farmer recently sold a farm in this county at $1,000 less than it was assessed. That shows that democracy knows how to make high taxes out of a low rate. The democratic committee’s hand bill devoted a column to the Banner Times yesterday. It com plained of our report of the big republican meeting here Saturday

and lied ably and energetically about us, all of which is to be expected in this democratic campaign of free coinage of lies It printed garbled extracts of the report the Banner Times made of the meeting which were untruthful for the rea son they were not complete. Had jibe handbill been honest it would I have printed what this paper said. The Banner Times said Mr. Hanna spoke and he did, and presided ; we said that Sir. Owens spoke, he did, but the hand bill wasn’t honest I enough to say so. We said Mr. Moore spoke and he did not speak When t ie Banner Times closed its forms at 2:45 the understanding was that Mr. Moore would speak and we were not responsible for any change in the program made an hour after this paper went to press. We did say that Mr. Moore makes a splendid financial speech and having heard him speak at two of his large country meetings knew he would make that kind of a speech as he always does and will make on Sept. 5 in this city. Now, why can’t the hand bill he honest about itself and not take a lawyer's quibbling over one little mistake which was no fault of this paper’s. Will it be honest and tell why it has whipped about like a shipwrecked vessel in a storm in the past four years on the political sea? Will it try to clear up its 1893 record when it was a straight out democratic paper, and will it be honest enough to say w'hy it did not discover the crime of ’73 then instead of now, and why it slandered the name of the martyred Lincoln. Incidentally we might remark up on the subject of newspaper mistakes that on Aug. 15 the Demo crat came out and said that Bryan would hold a meeting in New York four days after he had held it, and it had everything else tangled up. The hand bill speaks further of metropolitan papers’ management of local affairs. It wastes it breath there as those papers generally do as they please, without advice from country papers. If the Democrat is seeking a model paper we sug<4^9t the Indianapolis Sentinel. It is the laughing stock of Indiana now and has to carry an assorted lot of affidavits in its office to make its political matter go, and then has to swear in its affidavits. The Democrat seems to be trying to outdo the Sentinel in this line.

“Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other” is an axiom the world over and among all peoples except among a rapidly decreasing party in the United States of America—styled popocrats. They put it this way: “Thirgs which are unequal to the same thing are equal to each other, and they go on to declare that if they are not right that this is a great country and the}' can do as they please. They don’t have to go to England or France or Germany to learn axioms. They can make them to order. They put the matter before the people in this light: 31 o/.. silver equal $1.00; loz. g ild equals $1.00; therefore 1(1 oz. silver equal $1.00, and furthermore since 16 oz. silver equal 1 oz. of gold and 1 oz. of gold equals 31 oz. of silver, therefore 16 oz. of silver eqtials 31 oz. of silver. And again, if this is not so they will make it so. This party of popocrats will even go so far as to prove the.r axiom by the c-r i m-e of ’73. This party can show that twice two is eight. They can prove that there are six teen fools to every silyer mine owner and not have to go out of the United States or their own porty to do it. When they have knocked the bottom out of the ship of state and shut the steam otf all industries and burned the bridges behind them they call an extra session of congress and revise the multiplication table, repudiate all debts public anti private on account of the inconvenience of coining so much silver, empower Mr. Bryan to get up a new set of axioms and— tlie.

Keen Field.

The game of ball yesterday between the Redmen and the Odd Fellows was a reversal of the story of the former game between the two nines. The Odd Fellows presented a better nine than they did

the Redmen same. The

committee wasn’t reported on and the committee asked and was granted further time. The light committee was also granted further time on the mutter of Hanna street lighting. Mr. Browning offered a resolution to widen Indiana street and establish a grade and to condemn lands from Hanna street to city limits. The matter was referred to the street committee and will have to go to the city commissioners. The resolution was adoptecW Mr. Miller offered a res olution providing for sidewalks of brick or stone on Arlington street, and the clerk was given ten days to advertise that property owners could remonstrate if they so de

sired on Sept. 22.

The franchise asked by the Central Union Telephone company which was referred to a special committee was reported on by them and they thought it not advisable to grant the franchise as asked. They would be glad to allow the company to put in the loop asked, but the franchise as asked was unlimited as to time and there was no limit on charges should the company decide to put in general exchange. The council concurred in the ooinion of the committee but expressed a willingness to grant a franchise such as should suit the

city.

That Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly everyi body at this season. The hustlers cease to push, the tireless grow weary, the energetic become enervated. You know just what we mean. Some men and women endeavor temporarily to overcome that Tired Feeling by great force of will. But this is unsafe, as It pulls powerfully upon the nervous system, which will not long stand such strain. Too many people “ work on their nerves,” and the result Is seen In unfortunate wrecks marked “nervous prostration,” in every direction. That tired FeelIng is a positive proof of thin, weak, Impure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, It imparts life and energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. The necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla for that tired feeling Is, therefore, apparent to every one, and the good It will do you is equally beyond question. Remember that Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is Uie One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. $l. Prepared only hy C. I. Ilood&Co., Dowell, Mass.

wlint '1M the work. John Friend hopped around the pitcher’s box like the game Teutonic he always is and his swift delivery was ban died in Bismurkian style by Ed. Eiteijorg the new I. O. O. F. recruit. At first Hanna put up a grand stand game and handled all kinds of queer balls. On second Herb Kelly got in some minute and second hand plays that were standard time. At the bat he was up to date, also, and hit a home run over the left field fence that was a beauty. Charley Meikel played short and did well all except once. He got the ball and hesitated, and like many a good man who hesi tated he was lost. At third Charley Eiteijorg made some good pick ups and throws. In the field Joe Kleinbub, Charley Vancleavc and Jim Merryweather tended garden. “Jeemes” played right and went af ter a fly, thought it was out on the bounce and tried it that way. In center and left the other fe lows had little to do. At batting, how ever the Odds were in it. They swung the bat and hit the ball. In the third inning there was a continuous sound like that made by an energetic mule’s heel against a rickety shutter and the result was 15 runs for the Odds. The Redmen fell fiat in the third inning and their battery grew tired. Potter hurt bis hand but caught well, nevertheless. Curtiss lost his cunning and the result was base hits. Kelly at first was pretty good and Maloney did better than the last time. Maloney and Cannon went into the points in the latter part of the game at odd spells and there was a visible let up in the Odds’ slugging from then on. Cannon at short played in hard luck as several hot ones were just out of reach. At third Murphy wasn’t so timid and had but two errors. He and the ball, however, got lost once. In the field Frank Kleinbub, Walter Kelly and Denman chased two and three baggers, galore. Denman had on a gold cap and that queered him—he tried to hug a high (ly so happy was he under the gold standard. The Red Men as a whole didn’t do so well as they did last time and now honors are even between the two clubs. They will have to play otf the rubber. The score closed 19 to 13 for the Odds and their goat is eating all the paper olf the lodge room walls in his glee. Score by innings : Redmen—2 2 5 3 1 0 0—13 Odd Fellows —1 0 15 3 0 0 0—19 The umpiring was done by Sam A Harris for a while and then by E. G. Fry. Both gentlemen dis tinguished themselves. A crowd of rooters in the balcony of the grand stand made life miserable for tbe umpires.

Dr. Davis was the first to drop the apple of popular discord in the institute by mention of the word “coinage.” Great interest was manifested in Dr. Davis’ mieroseopie work. Mr. Charles McCnrry, of Terre Haute, editor of the 1 nlund Educator, was present at the institute in the afternoon. The division scheme of Prof. Lyons wouldn’t go, because Old Sol was too strongly present with Dr. Stephenson s division. Ed Day will 611 the principalship at Bainbndge. F. L. Moore will teach at Maysville next year. Mrs. L Moore will be the associate. Bowers from Wabash will be at Fincastle. Miss Lenore Allspaugh favored the pedagogues with a piaao solo.

The third day of the Putnam county institute opened auspiciously this morning. Every teacher of the entire county was present with the exception of two or three. Assembly room was almost filled and the very best of interest was manifested by all, both teachers and visitors. Everything was done this morning with energy and the chief character of the session was “push.” The following is the program as it was followed out: Devotional exercises.. .. Rev Johnson Lecture Dr. Stephenson Piano solo Miss White Lecture Dr. Davis Vocal solo Miss Dillon Music Prof. Wilgamood Lecture Dr. Stephenson Every one in the institute is now becoming acquainted with every-

one else.

Miss Dillon’s vocal solo was one of the good things of the institute. Prof. Wilgamood wants more volume and now glad to tell us we were as good as the teachers in other institutes. This made us feel good, although we held such an

idea before.

We all cooed this morning just

like little doves.

Rev. Hollingsworth paid the institute a visit this morning. It s nip and tuck between Dr.

Davis and Dr. Stephenson as to which is the most popular with the

teachers.
