So be good and post up on the current events as they so rapidly transpire in this electrical century. If the ?rash in Wall street had come under a democratic administration , if the decline in the price of hogs had come under a democratic administration. and if the bank and business failures reported here and there had taken place with a democrat in the presidential chair, republican papers would be howling like Indians about it. But every time a democratic paper refers to these conditions, repub-

lican sheets find fault and charge the editors with impropriety. Columbian City Poet. Joseph Pulitzer has provided 52,000.000 to establish a school of journalism at Columbia University. A building will be erected to cost 5500.Oqq. for the school, which will hold toward the university a relation similar to other professional schools natonal in scope. Louis Ludlow one of the best Indiana newspaper writers, digs up ths information that the grand army department of the g. o. p. are seriously considering the advisability of placing a candidate in the field for governor. In that event they have their eye on Hon. A. O. Marsh the present Indiana pension agent. This will be pleasing news to citizens in this part of the state where Mr. Marsh stands unequaled as an orator and citizen. He is plenty large enough in brains and statesmanship to occupy any positisn in life, and at the same time do eminent credit to himself, the state or nation. The grand army will certainly honor itself in husbanding the movement mentioned. Mrt. Ida Holcomb, of 1111 Summit street. Fort Wayne, is in the city attending to business matters and visiting with relatives.

INSPECTOR IS HERE t Inspector Burr is Here From Fort Wayne. Approved the Appearance of the New Postoffice Building. — I Postoffice Inspector Burr with headquarters in Fort Wayne, was in the city this morning, he being on his way to Van Buren where ■ fficialJ business was calling him. His visit here had no especia 1 I significance, he simply stopping while enroute through to Van Buren Postmaster Brittson took " advantage of the occasion and divor drove him over the city, having in view the idea of showing the inspector the territory that would have to be covered when free delivery was established. It has been contended in away that two carriers would be sufficient to take care of the work, but after the inspector saw how large we were he readily admitted that three regular carriers would be necessary to begin with. This of course means ; one substitute always to press into business should he be needed. Inspector Burr also took a birds-eye view of the new pustoffice building and the progress being made in its construction, and signified his approval of the work up to this time. The outside walls are now up one story and a few weeks more will make it look more like a building, and a mighty fine one at that. HE WAS SURPRISED. Isaac Brown the Victim of a Successful Surprise. Many of the friends of Mr and Mrs. Isaac Brown gathered at their home north of [the city Aug. 1 to remind him that just fifty six I years ago he for the first time was the honored guest of his father and mother.
